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

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

Love this rarity. Great goodness
He's Gone

Madison Square Garden

Very nice extended jam in this one. Meanders, then gains a little steam for the second half of the jam.

This is Cassidy > UJB > Cassidy, but yes, well executed!

Gorgeous fluttering solo from Jerry. That one just floored me. Stunning

Usually a skip song for me as well, but this one is very nice. Good work from Jerry, Brent, and Bobby
