Kiel Auditorium

Hot version! Not quite as epic as the night after, but still incredible.

Stanley Theater

An absolute tsunami, one of the most intense ever this side of 3/2/69

Fillmore West

A particularly jazzy version; Jerry is ablaze and climbing to enormous heights.

Very long and spacy version that gets very intense. One of the best of Europe '72.

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.
