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

Lazy River Road

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Absolutely lovely version. Jerry's vocals are spot on and crisp.
Morning Dew
March 27, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

This is so perfectly paced. Delicate and patient, to a chilling peak. Love instances where the boys show that they can still dial into the magic in the later years.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1994
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Always loved this monster Fire. Such a deep cut - very heady for any era. Oregon sparked the best in the boys
Jack Straw
April 6, 1987
Meadowlands Arena

Phil is all over this like stink on a monkey. Jerry shred drives the crowd into a frenzy. Super peaky finish. Choice!
Smokestack Lightnin'
Oct. 20, 1984
Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

The jam in this is super hot and creative. Relatively short it may be, but this packs a nice punch.
