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

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

Row Jimmy

Civic Center

I've been dusting off this spring '87 run and the east coast shows post-coma are crackling with energy. This Row has very shiny runs from Jerry and Phil owns the low end. Heady
Dancin' in the Streets
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

The pinnacle of groovy, super swanky. As noted, sick tighten up jam!
Hully Gully
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

Only time played and well nailed
Bird Song
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

Blasting acoustic Bird Song for Bobby's b-day. Very tight playing on this. Jerry is dialed in
It's A Man's World
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Super swinging version - wish this song stayed in rotation
