Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

Eyes Of The World

The 9/7 version is my favorite of all-time! Can't wait to listen to the bonus disc later after I finish the main Dave's Picks show!

Best year for this song. And on Pigpen's birthday, they play another incredible version
Eyes Of The World

Awesome, chaotic transition into a spectacular China Doll. Great Eyes
Jack Straw
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

I'm a huge fan of the later-era versions with the huge jam into "Jack Straw from Wichita..." but this one has a very similar high-energy level that just rocks. Tape has good sound of the audience and they're clearly loving it. I mean, how could you not!? This first set just keeps getting better and better with each song
