Eyes Of The World
Jan. 17, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Wharf Rat

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
Jan. 6, 1978
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.

Deal
June 22, 1983
City Island

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

Not the greatest ever or anything, but check out that liquid transition from TOO.

This is the end of an era. It's not my favorite song, but this one is great and it doesn't sound this good when it returns.

Nassau Coliseum

"The jazzy-spacey mid section jam," as deadhoe69 says, is killer on this version. It's hard to see what this one is missing except the SBD. There's something for everybody.
Row Jimmy
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

This is my go to row jimmy. Admittedly, this is one of the 6 disks stuck in the time machine car/cd player I spin around in. But the double time at the end is stellar - this was a great road trip.

To some this is not a real DS, but I gotta say this is gorgeous - no paralysis or bugs crawling, just beautiful flow.
