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

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

Great call, cgarces. An incubator, early phase Playing, that hits the cosmos quickly. Great energy!!

Haha, nice, cgarces! I plan on posting 2,318 versions of 'crowd noise.' The race is on... But seriously, how/why did art become a competition?

May not be note perfect, but the build, the tension and release, and the massive finish make this one really special. Jerry is fanning the flames hard at the ending. Perfectly paced throughout

Great call on the Spectrum version, '67 - very confident effort from the boys. Jerry and Brent are especially dialed in. The end jam drips slowly into measured madness before sliding into Terrapin. Props
