Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Really dark sounding jam dominated by Phil and Jerry. Some unique, jazzy soloing from Jerry too.

Public Hall

Fast, tight and energetic with really inventive Jerry jams in the trasition. One of the best of '73

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 4, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Center

Wild, hairy, and at times scary Herbie Hancock-esque jazz in this one. One of the all-time best!!!

Mountains of the Moon
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

This is the finest version for me...the electric parts of Jerry's solo have a strong Dark Star quality to them.
Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

The best Franklin's ever IMHO, such energy and creativity here!
Not Fade Away
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Yes! The whole band is ripping on this version, one of my favorites
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

They should have done this transition more! Nice version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 7, 1982
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Whoa. This is definitely an excellent transition into Rider, they even throw in a few hints at the "Feelin' Groovy" jam from '73-'74. A new fav of the '80s for sure.
