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
Sept. 24, 1972
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

Black Throated Wind
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Agree, really sweet version and Jerry puts sufficient stank on his fills, especially before the "left St Louis" lyric
To Lay Me Down
Sept. 26, 1980
Warfield Theater

Soulful as it gets
The Music Never Stopped
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Peaks for days. Even the devastating drop out on the SBD can't hold this one back
Bertha
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Very melodic and mellow version. Heady for sure
Big Railroad Blues
June 6, 1991
Deer Creek Music Center

JEEEESUS - Jerry and Bruce make this a complete shredfest.
