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

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

RFK Stadium

This one is tight and has a lovely, fluttering melodic peak. A choice version and a go-to track on the new RFK release, for sure
Dear Mr. Fantasy

RFK Stadium

Not usually my tune, but my good GOD, Jerry annihilates these solos
Not Fade Away
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

This is a RIPPING good. Full shred, with thumping percussion. Wow.
Feel Like A Stranger

Providence Civic Center

The stank on this solo requires open windows when listening, for proper ventilation.
Built to Last

Crisler Arena

This is all about the seamless segues in and out of PITB. Jerry's vocals are rough this show, but the creativity and placement in the 2nd set make this a goodie
