Hollywood Palladium

Wickedly jazzy and powerful; not as wild as 8/27, but it can hardly be faulted for that!

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

Tight, jazzy and a little freaky too. An underappreciated highlight of a great show.

Two from the Vault. Sharp and energetic. For its time, Garcia and Lesh hit a new level on this one .

A beautiful MLB jam followed by some of the freakest DS space you'll ever hear. Careful around this one...

WOW!!! You're not kidding. Next to 9/2/78 and 11/30/80, this Scar>Fire has one of the all time best, super smooth, out-of-this -world transitions I've ever heard. And the Fire ROCKS! Nice call, man!!

Very nice version. The transition into drums is especially well played.

International Amphitheatre

Great version with a nice Phil solo and lots of peaks and valleys. Psychedelic rock at its best.

Frost Amphitheatre

A very beautiful and patient Eyes, unique in the fact that it's not speed-laced like most '80s versions. Must hear material from a great show.
