Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

Friend of the Devil
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

I really dig this version. Bouncy and understated. Bobby and Keith with excellent supportive rhythmic contributions. Jerry with country twang vocals

Let It Grow
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

End jam is very dense and thick. Very strong effort with great backing from the rhythm devils

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Hot, compact ChinaCat jam, but the highlight is Jerry hammering the "headlight" lyric in Rider. Gave me chills (as most similar later versions do)

Estimated Prophet

Civic Center

Very tight version. Jerry nails the noodles richly, making for a far out excursion. Only issue is a seemingly rushed Eyes segue

The Music Never Stopped
Feb. 26, 1981
Uptown Theater

Pretty solid interlude jam and thrilling peak to end the set.
West L.A. Fadeaway
Sept. 17, 1982
Cumberland County Civic Center

This one is gully, in all of the right ways. Gritty and passionate
New Minglewood Blues
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Some nice raunchy blues. Worthy of a spin for sure
Deal
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

This Deal smokes. Jerry lighting up the leads as they hit the peak. Early inklings of 89/90 thrillers. This is a must hear
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

My. God. Jerry is strenuously attentive and delivers superb licks through out this juggernaut S>F. Push this gem up the LIST!
