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

He's Gone

Baltimore Civic Center

Dusted off this show for the walk to work and morning's activities. Such a beautiful version here. Top shelf show all around
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

Oh hell yeah! Was just posting for the NFA - Excellent segment
The Music Never Stopped
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Sorry I haven't commented on this earlier. Version is definitive - spacey, then very solid peak. Show has been one of my favorites from '78 since day 1. Excellent pick!
Casey Jones
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

It cannot be overstated how incredible this jam is. Leaps and bounds the best Casey Jones around. Listen, rinse, repeat.
Here Comes Sunshine
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

Phew, this one is a powerhouse. Different than a lot of HCSS. My go to version has always been 12/19/73, but I will go to this version for far different reasons. Had this show since jumpstreet, but never recalled this jam. Nice post!
