Exactly what I look for in an Eyes. As good as they come.

Ecstatic, exhuberent, exciting. Great end to a great set.

The Other One

Starts like a rocket, lands on Mars bigtime, then light-speed re-entry to a killer Eyes in under 10 minutes after a balls-out Truckin. Great set.

Massive Phil and Jerry co-soloing in a supersonic mindmeld for 19 minutes. Very special with a raw, almost brutish energy.

Hey modernhead 1995, you got a link for Jerry playing Oregon State Prison or some way to check this out, because fuckin' a, brother, but I'd listen to that.... Sure this is a GD site and all, but acoustic Jerry in a lockup sounds like some sounds I'd like to hear. Post a link and help a brother out.... Peace from the Carrion Crow.

This show is so full of gems and ultimates (arguably the finest FoTD ever recorded), that this beauty can easily get overlooked. Sweet sweet harmonies in the electric set. Ahhhhhhhh, 1970, what a bonus year....

The China Cat is perfectly executed. Pristine, releasable quality jam here.

May just be the best version ever performed.

My oh my, but that's some sweet and good old GD right there. There really is something extra special about the 1970 sound, the deeply intimate mellow places they could evoke so sweetly with an acoustic set, then mixed up with the as dark-and-heavy as can be ferocity of the electric. Go from Ripple or Rosalie here straight into the Caution/Feedback mind-melter: There was definitely some strong mojo driving the band back then.....
