Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Morning Dew
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Eyes Of The World
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

A kickass version but it can only ever be tied for best--there are just too many great Eyes out there.
Estimated Prophet
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Nice tempo (just barely fast) and Jerry's final solo is quite expressive (although it seems cut short prematurely).
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Phenomenal.
Dark Star
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Very, very satisfying. Sublime is the word. Into a great Eyes.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Perhaps the all-time best venue for this tune.
