Feel Like A Stranger
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena

En fuego! Masterfully executed, funky, slinky, and ultimately ripped to shreds.

Mexicali Blues
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.

Bertha

Civic Center

Funky version slathered in Fender Rhodes gets an incendiary Jerry solo.

Capital Centre

Ominous dark synth lead-in to a great Other One.

Wow, everyone’s playing the hell out of this Sugaree! The band is clearly ON.

Ramble On Rose
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Thick, rubbery-bouncy version. Fantastic follow-up to a gorgeous LLR.
Wharf Rat
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Now, I like the 46-minute Playin’ (not everyone does, as you will see if you read the comments), but even I’m inclined to say that Eyes > Wharf Rat is the apex of the show and one of the greatest moments of the month. It doesn’t get sweeter — more passionately and resourcefully realized — than this.
Wharf Rat
Oct. 14, 1977
Hofheinz Pavilion

I can’t even believe this thing.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds

A lot of very generous playing in the first few songs of this show — just a bounty of notes, all of them well chosen. Again, I’ll say: The Andrew F source sounds fantastic.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Substantially energized by the storm and/or Bruce’s presence. Slathered in IT. Among the very best.
