Hot damn can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet! Too much for words, just listen - this is the hottest of 1974 and one of the best ever!!!

Simply the best Cryptical Envelopment reprise ever. They take this one to Andromeda and back.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Haha, my last comment was intended for 2/24/73. This is, however, a really awesome PITB, with some stupendously creative jazz jams from Jerry...very unique stuff here!

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

This maybe the best, smoothest version of the whole "sandwich", but 3/23/74 definitely has a hotter Playin'.

Just have to add that of the 3 times they did this sandwich, I think this is my favorite. Such a probing, intense Playin', and the transition from UJB back to Playin' reprise is just magical. A-Mazing stuff!!!
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Top shelf stuff. My favorite Eyes of '77 for sure.

Field House - Seneca College

Love this version!!!! Maybe not as epic as 11/6/77, but rip-roaring energy to spare!! One of my favorites ever.
