An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

Estimated Prophet
Feb. 27, 1977
Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

It's early and they are still working this out. This and the day before are interesting for their historical import, but there are more than a dozen from the first half of '77 to put squarely in front of these two.

This version is 100% solid, but it contains zero jaw-dropping moments. It's just another ho-hum tight 1977 version. When you get past half-step, it doesn't sound like an AUD anymore - Garcia's guitar is clear and wonderful. The solos before and after rio grandeo are both too short for my 9/3/77 and 11/5/77 tastes.

The AUD makes it a little hard to hear Keith, but what can be heard is good and the rest of the band really goes after this Loser. A-.
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

The end of this take is spacey, ethereal and dreamy. November 1973 was magic and it's in the neighborhood.
