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

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

A truly clean and wonderful version. Smooth and certainly worthy of a spin
Dark Star

Dream Bowl

Absolutely hypnotic and mesmerizing. Meditative version

St. Louis Arena

Definitely a more laid back, gentle though bouncy rendition. Very nice
Eyes Of The World
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

If it ever feels like nothing is going right in the world, this version is a beacon of light to the contrary. Full band participation, but Phil, Billy, and Keith really holds this one down and bring it to the next echelon. Lovely and have respun several times this week alone
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

Not usually my track, but this one flows beautifully and the rhythm devils are pushing this one alone. Heady and worth a spin
