A sweet and mellow version with some lovely Jerry fills throughout. Marty Robbins would be proud.

Mexicali Blues

Hollywood Palladium

Tight, high-energy, and a blast of a rollicking-good-time cowboy tune. Just exactly what Mexicali Blues should be.

Touch of Grey

Madison Square Garden

Only the third performance. The groovy rhythm of the early versions lets Brent's piano REALLY flourish here. Tighter than most other '82 versions.

Played a little slower than usual, but not missing an ounce of passion. Keith and Donna sound great during the outro.

Paramount Theatre

Strummin' to the rhythm that the DRUMMERS made. They're pounding their kits while the rest of the band rages behind them. Keith sounds great too.

Civic Center

Great version of a goofy song that people take WAAAAAAY too seriously. It's meant to be dumb fun and nothing else, and BOY is this a fun one!

Olympic Center

Holy shit. This one goes on and on, and Jerry is WILD. Fantastic version.

The Palladium

Laid back, well-played, and some excellent piano playing by Keith. This one may not have the tempo of classic versions, but it's TIGHT as hell.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 28, 1992
Deer Creek Music Center

Hot hot hot! Everyone sounds great, and it's got a groove reminiscent of those classic 70's versions. Fun version from a strong show.
Feel Like A Stranger
Sept. 6, 1980
State Fairgrounds

Really unique and jazzy jam - this song had a bunch of great versions in Maine (5/11/80, 10/12/84, and this one)
