Eyes Of The World

Merriweather Post Pavilion

With a pace but not Bolivian - Jer throws out the MNS riff in the intro signals to me he's playful and so they work this out sweetly.

Beautiful Jerry filigree work on this one - superfine in many ways should be waaay higher up the list imo.

One of the Houseboat tapes- Released as Dick’s Picks 35. Killer ‘71 action. Not shown in archives...bummer.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

Noodle city CCat with lots of extra Jerry flourishes packed in. Jerry fades on his Rider verse’s vocal but he roars back with some energetic action - worth the check out. +1. One of my faves for ‘80’s is 4/19/84 which I think burns hot, hot, hot.
