Feel Like A Stranger
March 31, 1984
Marin County Civic Center

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

Friend of the Devil
Sept. 24, 1972
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

Very nice full band peak on this. Brent rips. Great way to open a show!
Samson and Delilah
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

CHURCH! Brent lays into the jam nicely
Bird Song
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Great spacey jam in this one. Really dug it, save for a minute or two of MIDI flute. Solid version for sure
Eyes Of The World
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Agree on all accounts. The slower, swinging tempo harkens to early 70's versions. Flows very nicely
Greatest Story Ever Told
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

I may be crazy, but it sounds like Jerry is hinting at St Stephen licks during the peak
