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

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

Always such a treat. Keith puts in serious work in the first solo. Its incredible. This paired with the Cosmic Charlie that follows are an absolute chefs kiss

The Zenith

Awesome version. The latter part of the jam, where they explore the depths in minor is lovely. A ton of great music fit in this one

Phil bombs about to split the atom in this gem! Great ramp up finish too

Super enjoyable, efficient and fruitful melodic jam, rolling peaks - it’s a goodie
