Aching and poignant. Fairly standard for the mid 80s, and that’s a good thing….

Black Peter
April 10, 1978
Fox Theatre

Out of a gonzo Franklin’s….. Jerry shreds like mad in the frenetic coda!! BTW…. that Franklins (which crawls out of a very long drumz….) is a beautiful mess….another night where they become the world’s greatest garage band!!! And that’s a great thing!

Fiery transition!!! ‘78 scorches!!!!
Eyes Of The World
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Yep! Definitely deserves to be top 25 and….. wait a second!!! It ain’t even close to top 60?!? I guess it goes to show, these guys are pretty good, and there a lot of tremendously powerful Eyes out there…. Still….. this has wonderful interplay between Jerry and the gang, Bobby really awesome, Rhythm Devils right on, Phil and Keith doing their amazing thing as we roll from an excellent Estimated through a vibrant Eyes into one of the first ever official Drums/Space and….. !! A bit like some of the more fiery Eyes from the autumn of 77……
Uncle John's Band
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

EPIC. EPIC. EPIC. This sequence, done perfectly from time to time, is one of those things that makes the Good ‘Ol Grateful Dead the finest band in the land. When the gorgeous Dew segues seamlessly back into UJB, then finds its way back to that Playin’……it’s as epic as any piece of music ever recorded, as powerful as anything Mozart, Beethoven, whatever, whoever, ever composed! I kid you not at all! And…. Epic is not a word to be used lightly!!!
