This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

This Stranger kicks a **. Phil is fantastic and his sound is great. Fun jam, the band is together and able to throw fills wherever necessary.

This one gets my vote for first overall. I had the tendency to stear away from the early spring tour shows and missed 4/1 until this website helped adjust my thinking. The band is tight with their performance and Brent is feeling it.

The band is just on. You can hear it throughout this version. Definitely one of my favorites.

This is a true teeth clencher. Jerry's last solo goes on and on and has a lot of wow value.

Great 80s jamming. The jam never loses its way and weaves around landing beautifully into Terrapin.
