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
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

The mini jam in this one is a hot little potato. Jerry fluttering over the frets like a hummingbird.
Samson and Delilah
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

I'm usually not a big Samson fan, but this one has some serious muscle. Force of an elbow drop from the top ropes. High energy!
Wharf Rat
April 19, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

This Wheel > Wharf segment added to the recent DP is gold. Spinning a lot. Fantastic version
The Wheel
April 19, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Beautiful, flowing version that segues effortlessly into a great Wharf
China Cat Sunflower
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

Slammer of a stand-alone Cat. Jerry and Phil ripping it
