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

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

This one is the goods. I am a huge SBD snob, but this AUD is one of the clearest i've ever heard. Shit is on point
I Need A Miracle
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Not really my track, but this one jams nicely. Even adequate Bobby slide work. Yeah, i said it
The Music Never Stopped
April 21, 1978
Rupp Arena

Oh yeah! Jerry just keeps bringing it in the middle jam, then nice money shot peak. Good stuff
Not Fade Away
Jan. 13, 1980
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

HOLY SHIT! Where has this one been all my life... Big ol' swaggering version
