Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

Palace Theatre

I really dig this version. Bouncy and understated. Bobby and Keith with excellent supportive rhythmic contributions. Jerry with country twang vocals

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)

Civic Center

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

Of note, that WRS segue doesn't not produce a full version of the tune; rather, a WRS tease -> ~6 min of spaced out jammy weirdness (hide the kids)

Man, this one is some swirly heady goodness. Really nice, mellow wandering jamming

Brilliant China Cat in this one! Great feeling groovy jam. As Carrion noted, air tight Rider taboot
Blow Away

Hammy heady Brent goodness. Jerry goes off nicely at the end

Capital Centre

Good version. Hard to hear Bruce at times over Vince, but he adds some nice chaw
