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

They Love Each Other

Civic Center

Oh man, Jerry absolutely SHINES on this. So crisp and tight, bouncy and vibrant. Highly recommended

Up vote for sure. Jerry is out for blood....
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
Oct. 10, 1968
The Matrix

Donnie, a) awesome jam and thank you; b) welcome to the board; and c) is your handle picture from 'Manos: Hands of Fate' - if so, HUGE props. That movie is a tragic failure of catastrophic proportions and makes for one of my favorite MST3K episodes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 26, 1980
Oakland Auditorium Arena

Wow, not a note wasted on this S>F! Tight, though exploratory, the Scarlet delivers everything one could hope for in a rollicking rendition, and the Fire pushes this one well over the top. Very choice. From my perspective, '80 and '76 are consistently the most overlooked years for the boys (though i am uncertain as to 'why'). Glad i stumbled on this - prop glynparson!
Cassidy

Oakland Auditorium Arena

Bordering on frantic energy. Urgent, densely wound, tizzy of a Cassidy
