Kings Beach Bowl

Rips as hard and heavy as any I've heard! Unfortunately the climax is a bringdown b/c of the power cutting out, but Jerry comes back with a vengence!

Wonderful, what a soaring and uplifting version! Also possibly the *first* since we know 5/5/67 is probabaly a misdate...

probably the tightest execution of the "Stronger than Dirt" yet in this early version.

Dane County Coliseum

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.
