Jerry's solo during this is one of the highlights of his career. An incredibly brilliant deal.

Eyes Of The World
Aug. 29, 1983
Silva Hall, Hult Center

Pure shredding by Jerry. This is one of the fastest eyes I have ever heard. This is one coked out eyes, blazing, killer version.

Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

I would stack this up with nearly all other latter day playin' jams. Super weird, but absolutely massive
Deal
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

Blistering solos by Jerry. I might even like this as much as that monster Playin' from this second set. Forget the Road Trips, the AUD for this show is superb.
Viola Lee Blues
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Full throttle, dark, and energetic.
The Other One
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Certainly one of the best ever.
Morning Dew
May 6, 1970
Kresge Plaza - MIT

Jerry Garcia called this the definitive version. I would hesitate to go that far, but a great version in its own right.
