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

Opens the show with a pistol shot of energy. Super crisp and tight. Heater
Dire Wolf

Winterland Arena

Love the unexpected segue from cryptical. This second set is pure primal fire
Cassidy

Beacon Theatre

Packs a whole lot into 5 min... Tight and pops with energy
Stella Blue

Boston Music Hall

Extremely intentional and well-paced playing. Jerry's vocals are perfect
Eyes Of The World
June 11, 1976
Boston Music Hall

^Grendel's comment (per usual) nailed it. I love the loose, flowing '76 versions of Eyes and this one is a perfect example. Beautiful and airy
