Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

Friend of the Devil

Palace Theatre

I really dig this version. Bouncy and understated. Bobby and Keith with excellent supportive rhythmic contributions. Jerry with country twang vocals

April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

End jam is very dense and thick. Very strong effort with great backing from the rhythm devils

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Hot, compact ChinaCat jam, but the highlight is Jerry hammering the "headlight" lyric in Rider. Gave me chills (as most similar later versions do)

Estimated Prophet

Civic Center

Very tight version. Jerry nails the noodles richly, making for a far out excursion. Only issue is a seemingly rushed Eyes segue

This is an adventure
Brokedown Palace
Oct. 4, 1980
Warfield Theater

Sorry, think this is supposed to be 10/3. Refering to the one on Dead Set. Wikipedia has the wrong date listed. Give it a spin - my favorite version hands down
Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Respun this one during a long flight yesterday. Was rock out pretty hard. Got an odd look from the guy next to me when I finally took off my headphones. This NFA is the GOODS, check it out
Morning Dew
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Really strong version - the boys nail it
St. Stephen
June 11, 1976

Really smooth, beautiful jam. Dug it
