It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this one. the playing and vocal harmonies are on the money.

The steel guitar, which I assume Jerry is playing, really helps to make this early version a good one.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 28, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Agreed Ernie. I think Jerry had just received the modified Wolf by then. The high end is mellower then the Travis Beam. Very nice version of this song!
The Other One
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Classic 72 psychedelia here. Jerry starts out with searing sustained notes that dictate the direction of this one. It gets out there but always reigned back in, by then they could feel each others every move. Billy sounds like two drummers, partially due to the channel seperation. Then they transition into Wharf Rat, the defineitive sonic contrast, in my book. Overall, this is is a ride well worth taking.
Mind Left Body Jam
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

I really can't see calling that an MLB jam. My mind didn't go anywhere!
Jack Straw
Jan. 15, 1979
Springfield Civic Center

I'm surprised that this isn't way up on the list. It's a very clean and energetic version. Very strong vocals on this one. Jerry's fingers are flying all over his guitar, possibly tiger. This is one of the later Keith shows, but he sounds good, as does everyone else. If you like Jack Straw, then you should listen to this one and vote it up!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

This is a very solid version, crisp and clear and just the right tempo. Brent is adding some very nice touches on electric piano. This is a good one for sure!
