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

Let It Grow
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

Morning Dew

Nassau Coliseum

I am not really a fan of this era, but this version is incredible. Patient build, beautiful execution. Such emotive playing
Uncle John's Band
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Yup, classic. My favorite (if forced to choose)
Uncle John's Band
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

I scooped this show not too long ago. This version is certainly one of the most exploratory I know of. Jam gets dicey in the later minutes - she's a deep cut.
Sugaree
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Yeah, this one definitely deserves dap. Haven't spun in a minute - holds up fantastically!
Greatest Story Ever Told
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Yup, another hot version for a hot show
