Marin County Civic Center

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

Palace Theatre

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

Let It Grow

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)

Civic Center

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

Smooth stuff, Jerry gets on the good foot for this one. Nice
Greatest Story Ever Told

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Hot version - truth about keith, he rocks the boards nicely on this piece. Great post

Selland Arena

WOW dude, nailed it with the Donna description. She does belt out something like car tires in a parking garage, but this stand alone version is very solid. Dig Jerry's tone early on. I scooped this show a while back, but admittedly skipped right to the Eyes. Nice to hear this
He's Gone

The Spectrum
