Berkeley Community Theatre

A wonderful Jerry/Phil duet on this one. Not quite the legend of Veneta, but still very strong in its own right.

Excellent jams. Mix/sound is off, but this is still a must hear version!

Very lyrical and melodic playing by Jerry. A pretty unique version, one of my favorites.

Awesome flowing buildups and peaks during the first jam especially. A bit under the radar, but definitely one of the best of 1972!!!

Parc des Expositions

Sweet fusion-style Caution jam with major hints of MLB. Builds to a fiery Garcia climax!!

Wonderful version, the best June '74 Eyes IMO. The proto-Slipknot that develops out of the post song jam is especially wicked, but the entire performance of the song is truly special in every way.

One of Phil's finest moments, he just won't quit soloing. You can tell Jerry is trying to come in with the minor jam and Phil just shuts him down!
