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

Really dig this one. Bluesy goodness
The Eleven

Avalon Ballroom

Deservedly at the top spot, this one is a psychedelic swinging masterpiece

Get yer goddamn yah yahs out - this one is a raging ball of fury! soooo sick
Black Throated Wind

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

That comment was absolutely perfect/hilarious and I could not agree more. This and Barton - fine shows, no question, but not every song is the best ever. "Jerry cleared his throat as set two started and it was the best throat clearing the band has ever done."
Dark Hollow

Fillmore East

Oh man, this is flawless! Grisman with some amazing fills on mandolin. Such a bute!
