Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

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

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

Very nice moment.

Very cool Ollin Jam into a nice, early version Shakedown, sliding effortlessly into a Playin' Reprise. The end of this jam comes together nicely with some staccato type playing from Jerry
Truckin'

The Spectrum

HUGE call and response interplay between Bobby and Jerry. Fan of bluesy back and forth axemanship?? Yes please.

Uptown Theater

Agree, sweet wind up for this one

Jerry solo is an emotional swing for the fences. Powerful, within the expected framework of this somber song
