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

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Fillmore East

Def short, but serious bouncy blues. Pig in fine form
Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

Blasts off new years celebrations right out of the gate! The only version played in '71 and last one until '76. Smoldering energy
Uncle John's Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

My favorite out of the spring '77 shows and top 3 for me all time. Dusted this off today and it's like putting on an old sweater that fits just exactly perfect. Awesome segue in from a dream-like PITB, and the final several min are just full band locked in power. Looove this show
Ramble On Rose
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Bright, crisp, precise
The Other One
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Not much more that can be said about this version that hasn't already been stated. The real gem of this show and a top tier jam for the tour. It's more contemplative and melodic than others from this era. Everyone locked in, so many special segments. They hint at a Feeling Groovy jam. The portion before Bobby McGee is utterly gorgeous. All-timer, no question.
