Morning Dew
Sept. 17, 1982
Cumberland County Civic Center

Pretty solid, and could have been great if the climax jam lasted more than a minute. Jerry seems to cut it short just as it's starting to lift off.

Paramount Theatre

Here's the audio of Jerry inhaling heroic amounts of cocaine just before the concert (the snorting really starts around 4:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj48pFBUuqo
Morning Dew
March 27, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

This was the single best Grateful Dead song that I experienced live. I remember being a little tired by the end of the Other One, and everyone in my section had taken their seats, as it wasn't a terrifically danceable number. Then, out of a quiet transition, the first unmistakeable notes of Dew coalesced. I was on my feet instantly, and utterly transported for the next 15 minutes.
Eyes Of The World
March 13, 1982
Reno Centennial Coliseum

Has all the heft of a solid '70s Eyes, with a nice second-jam climax around five minutes in. Very enjoyable, and that's coming from someone who doesn't generally like '80s Eyes.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 29, 1983
Silva Hall, Hult Center

And don't miss the latest AUD uploaded to the archive. It's a huge upgrade to the previous SBD & AUD recordings. https://archive.org/details/gd1983-08-29.141486.fob.senn.421.rice.smith.miller.clugston.flac1644/Gd83-08-29S2T01ChinaCatSunflower.flac
