Madison Square Garden

Great version featuring heads up Garcia playing, and some classic late 80's Bobby vocals (with just the right amount of DH weirdness)

Feel Like A Stranger

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Funky Phil to start, with a Jerry midi finish that I just love (silky silky, crazy crazy night)

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This version slips into full blown space at one point, unique version of a under rated song

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Great version with plenty of Jerry/ Brent goodness (not a fan of the song? This one may change that)

Brent blows a few lyrics early on, but he and Jerry more than make up for it in this hometown performance (makes no difference who or where you are)

wheelisturnin: I'm not sure! I have been working through all the ones here first. I just can't get by the sloppy first part of this one to call it the best. I may concede it has the best emotive vocals though.

Interesting? Yes. Highly emotive? Yes! Best in class for the post Brent years? Sure! Best ever? Not in my opinion.
