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

Bird Song

An ethereal flight into the cosmos. This one shines beautifully. Highly recommend

If there was ever any question, the simple answer for this version is "YESSSSS." Jerry attacks each solo with vigor and ferocity. For my ears and preference, it is either this or Alaska '80. This one is just a complete Jerry-lead hose show.

jeeeesus, they likely had to hose down Jerry after this one. Just blistering assault of the song. This is a massive shredfest. Giddddddy UP
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1983
Park West Ski Resort

Jerry with extremely nimble fingers. Great Bobby/Brent/Jerry interplay on the transition
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Really excellent weaving of melodies between Jerry, Bob, and Keith, then a massive swell into a great NFA segue. This version even has giggly "woo!" vocals from Bob. Hard to ask for more...
