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
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

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Money version, they execute the pair with deadly precision
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Spun again after a very long time. Jam just never loses it's luster. Full blown hose in every sense of the word. Perfection
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Haven't listened to this in a while. I usually consider Franklin's to be an afterthought, but this one has some nice gusto. Nice version!
Sugar Magnolia
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

Dap, this one cooks!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center
