Stunningly beautiful version. Jerry's solo is second to none.

Whoa, this is absolutely scorching. Never thought I'd hear one from 1979 this unbelievably hot!

Wow, this version pretty much has it all; aggression, melody, and weirdness galore. Phil and Jerry are just huge here.

Garica is amped! Some intense jamming before the 1st verse even. Great AUD for '69 too.

Excellent, somber China Doll following a spectacular Eyes.

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.
