Can't believe I didn't post this one from this epic show. Killer. The drummers are on fire!

Somewhat clumsily finds its way out of "Scarlet" but this one has spunk! Split with "Sunshine Daydream" later on.

Playin' In The Band

Edmundson Pavilion

You need to prepare yourself for this one. First, avoid interruptions. Send your phone calls straight to voicemail. Feed the dog beforehand so he doesn't start barking mid-song. Secondly, don't lose sight of your surroundings. It's very easy to lose touch with reality during this one - it drops you down a rabbit hole quite quickly. Do a common household task - empty the dishwasher, fold the laundry - while listening, to ensure you remain grounded in the objective physical realm throughout.

This one hits you look a sock to the face coming out of "He's Gone." This whole show is just amazing.

VERY NICE late day version. Jerry's weathered voice works well here.
Eyes Of The World

Boston Garden

Listened to this in traffic during the flash floods in NYC. Such a nice, tight "Eyes." Phil is especially good here.
Dancin' in the Streets

Greek Theatre - University of California

I love this one. Brent's keyboard gives it a really dark edge you wouldn't expect from "Dancin'" of all songs. Segues seamlessly into "Bird Song." What a show. Jerry's on target all night. Love these shows.
