Jam this (& the Killer TOO) thru your headphones on your dune buggy ride on the Dark Side of the moon.

To Lay Me Down

The Omni

Keith and Phil flutter around Jer's vocal and then he steams in with his lead. Soft harmonies, sweet sounds...

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Someone who loves this combo is more qualified to comment on this - but seems pretty good.

Jer bites down like a great white on an electric cable - this one burns. Check Sir Mick.

Eyes Of The World
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

I can only think that this one is so low because folks haven't checked it out? Fast, precise and delicate - just another special treat served up in the year of the Dead '77. While I really dig the '74 action of Freedom Hall and Iowa and Winterland, this take is worthy of top 10 at least - if only it were heard. Resplendent is right.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

If you gotta half an hour to burn this one will show you some peak power action. Everyone represents here wonderfully in a super no hurry fashion that stretches out smoothly and builds into sweet bursts of perfection - just freakin wow. Deserves attention.
Big Railroad Blues
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

CC - Smoked out the speakers in my ride with this one this afternoon -- 1st version I ever heard of this song so many roads ago and after many years still oh so fine. IMO should be way up on this hear list. Rough and tumble rock'n'roll. Check the 4/13/71 and tell me what ya think of that one.

Hartford Civic Center

Massive with mucho sparklers. Jammy jam - jams all over this one including the outro.
Touch of Grey

Laguna Seca Raceway

They jammed this and then filmed the TOG video that night - whackadoodle scene at the campground that night.
