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

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Go for it Dark Star '67! You will not be disappointed... The Franklin's is certainly no slouch either. Boys came to play at RRs. I just had another replay and this H>S>F is the truth
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

This Slipknot is insanely good. Ok, NOW i'll stop raving about this criminally underrated show...
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Bobby shouting "my lightning TOO!!," followed by a stunning, full band Supplication jam. This version is a screamer. Ok, i'll shut up about this incredible show...
Bird Song

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Jerry take this one to an inspiring peak. Spin, post-haste!

This one is absolutely lovely. A nice emotive respite after a rocking Alabama and Greatest Story start. Bouncy leads from Jerry and tasteful fills from Brent. Easily an unheralded version
