Nice melodies from Jerry, hot Phil soloing, then a unique mellow and spacey segue into Wharf Rat

Tight version; jam has bounce, pizzaz, and energy spilling all over the place...these '74 Scarlets are a breed all their own!

probably the tightest execution of the "Stronger than Dirt" yet in this early version.

The jam out of Dark Star and into this Eyes is legendary...some of the most beautiful stuff they EVER did! Not to mention Jerry and Keith are playing off each other really great for this only being the 2nd-ever performance.

I prefer the 20th and the 18th for June Eyes, but there was probably never a run better than these. Really unique stuff going on with the funky segue into Big River.
