Eyes Of The World

New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Nassau Coliseum

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Nassau Coliseum

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Playin' In The Band

Swing Auditorium

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

City Island

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

Deal
March 28, 1981
Grugahalle

5 years later, I revisited this one today. I’m glad to see that it’s picked up some steam. It’s not quite the equal of 5/1/81, but it is of 11/30/80 and it can hang with anything from 89-93, GD or JGB.
Crazy Fingers

Paramount Theatre

The beginning to this version is stellar. The whole version is good, but this one and 6/17/75 have great openings.
Pretty Peggy O
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium

This one is a standard April 1978 vintage, so it actually stacks up well against any version of PeggyO from any era. Way better than 3 votes, especially given that 4/16 is only 3 days prior.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Auditorium Theatre

Yes, this is top 10. Every version from 4/30-6/9, with 9/3 and the early November shows. This one cranks. I’d put 4/15/78 in the discussion too
Playin' In The Band

Fox Theatre

Reprise is where it’s at
