Wooden and crunchy. Nice interplay between Jerry and Phil. Vince blows little zephyrs.

So much Dead to soothe my soul, and this is some of it. Tight.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Gaelic Park

When the going gets weird, Weir sings the headlight part.

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

This one doesn't have the shimmering lyricism of, say, 5/22/77, but the logic of Jerry's phrasing is a hoot.

The Other One
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

Needs to be on the map. Features a jam that seems to be based on Skydog's 'Little Martha' and a nice 'Tiger Jam', but that's not all...

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1990
The Omni

Yup, 'Without a Net' proves that a compilation live release can be a great thing.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Well worth hearing. Includes the 'Feelin' Groovy'-themed segue jam and they pull it off very well, as 'Feelin Groovy' segues can run the risk of sagging momentum. This whole show is worth checking out.
Dark Star

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

In an era of dark supergiants this one comes in as a dwarf, of sorts, but packs a lot in--although it is mostly gentle. Check it out!
Greatest Story Ever Told
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Nice tight version from a great show all-around.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

This show is an embarrassment of riches!
