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

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)

Very tight version. Jerry nails the noodles richly, making for a far out excursion. Only issue is a seemingly rushed Eyes segue

Magic. Crowd goes appropriately bananas

This first set is the fucking balls and this TMNS is a perfect, peaky cap to a hot opener

This came on during a walk home through the cold rain yesterday and made me smile. Its a smoker, taboot
Uncle John's Band

Should be curated by Neil Degrasse Tyson. Super heady exploration of the cosmos, with a very nimble and shiny run through the verses preceding it. Interesting the 2nd set getting so much love (very well deserved, for sure), but the first set is an absolute scorcher as well, as mentioned earlier. Amongst the top shows of the year, easily
Candyman

Deer Creek Music Center

This one really hits the spot. Juicy runs up the neck from Jerry. Poignant vocals. Dig it
