Only AUD recording for this version exists, not as good as studio, but heartfelt and beautiful

Vocals are a bit rough; final jam makes up for it big time, huge powerful and righteous

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 16, 1970
Fillmore East

Gdtrfb, you are right on with this one. The harmonica intro fits perfect. An Uncle John's Band that captures the essence of it all, great find.
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

This whole sequence has been seared into my DNA, Big River>DS>Eyes>China and then followed by one of the best Sugar Mags ever. This Eyes has Jerry, already on Neptune following the Dark Star, absolutely flying at light-speed through the cosmos, couldn't ask for a better sequence... one of the greatest all time shows.
The Other One
May 13, 1973
Iowa State Fairgrounds

This Other One sounds too me almost like a Dark Star. There is an entrance into some deep dark territory, space, weirdness, but controlled dichotomy and organic playing as one between all, but especially the back and forth between Garcia and Lesh. An immortal jam sequence for sure.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Strong late 80's smoker, Bobby plays some China Cat licks in the first instrumental break, very cool
Truckin'
