Feel Like A Stranger

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

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

Oh yeah, this one is DOPE. A product of what has been a really fruitful 30 days of dead and this one has a dizzying early peak, nimble Jerry work in the jam and Brent coming through clutch in the keys. Very choice and worthy of a spin. Transish into a stellar Eyes is on point

Absolute FIREEEEE
Dire Wolf

P.N.E. Coliseum

Slow, swaggery version. Nailed vocals and attentive, though down tempo playing.
Ramble On Rose
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Soaring solo and crazy passionate vocals. This one rules
