Eyes Of The World

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Great eleven-esque stuff that DJ crossfades into this marvelous Eyesie. Skimpy yes, think of the blazing short 78 TO1, and groove on this greek upper

euphoric, first-rate, gorgeous and thick. Resumes the tidal magnificently opulent warmth of PITB with the grace of liszt or bach.

Terrapin Station
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

this version paints a Rembrandt of the infinity of matter. Seminal. At over 30 minutes before becoming space, it is a billionaire deluxe experience of groupthink cruising through galaxies with urgent authority. magical version. I am surprised that this doesn't come up every time when talking about the best. Stands with any version.

Buckeye Lake Music Center

they get to work on this, really amazing
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

2nd dark star jam out of drumz, sounds like Weir is playing funky or almost RHCP style midi wrist work, while the Garcia/Marsalis/Hornsby conference glides into new extrasensory meltdowns. The most amazingly unhinged stuff.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
June 25, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Sparse, quiet, brooding, sensitive version. exquisite comes a time melt.
