Feel Like A Stranger

Rosemont Horizon

Super hot show opener, Jerry is here to PLAY! Speedy licks all over. Possibly the best first set of the year, although totally unknown show.

The very slow tempo that a lot of first set songs had in 1992 suits this one wonderfully.

Bird Song

Cal Expo

Probably the most underrated version in the history of Bird Songs. Incredible jazzy jamming from Jerry that peaks extremely hard.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Just exactly perfect. Slow, emotive, and well-played. Jerry's old-man vocals fit this one perfectly.

Civic Center

Very strong version, fantastic jam with jerry reaching incredible peaks. Cassidy really reached new heights from 83-89.

Three Rivers Stadium

Super powerful version, very strong out solo, Jerry was really present and on it for this one. Shouldn’t be missed.

Always want to find versions that aren’t 77 to upvote, but man, may 77 really was the banner month for this tune. Aching and beautiful each and every version, and this ones no exception. Love how sweet and tender Jerry played the solos in may before his tone changed when he switched to wolf in the fall.
Standing On The Moon

Memorial Stadium

Pretty hot outro and Jerry doesn’t miss a lyric. Nice one.

Richmond Coliseum

Jerry didn’t play a bad version of this song, but I’m pretty sure this one is the best. His voice is just aching and perfect.
