2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Eyes Of The World
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field

Locked in is right - just a reminder this take is a 10 and if you take a listen you might just turn it to 11. Straight with no chaser right here.
Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I’m pretty sure this was 1st time played and it was known as “The Blow Jam” (sometimes mis-labeled “The Sixteen”). Either way it smokes and supposedly you can hear Phil bust a string in the middle break after Jer’s 3rd woooo...didn’t make the movie due to film crew bathroom break.
And We Bid You Goodnight

Meadowlands Arena

Jerry in fine fettle, Phil blows kisses ... roll tape to reminisce. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nwqXS20UAT4
Morning Dew
