Feel Like A Stranger
Feb. 5, 1989
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Busting out of the gate in the first show of the year. Great interaction between Bobby and Phil, tasteful commentary by Jerry.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 14, 1988
Miami Arena

Great version because Bobby is understated, even weary. This gives Jerry the space to jump into the choruses with emotion. Dodging lions.

Civic Center

Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

Estimated Prophet
Feb. 17, 1988
Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Notable because of what Bobby and Jerry play at the end of the jam. Fast forward to it if you need to.

Big River
Dec. 27, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great version. Jerry plays angry, always a good sign. Check out his first solo. Also, Brent's mumbly jumbly solo is not too bad here.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

Pauley Pavilion

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 27, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version
The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Great version. The jam tells the story right.
Shakedown Street
Dec. 13, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Tempo is too fast but Jerry's playing in the jam is sick.
