Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 3, 1981
Rainbow Theater

Silky silky goodness. Brent makes this version. He owns a nice little groove right at the end. Pretty solid version

Brokedown Palace
May 16, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Heart wrenching and gorgeous. Rivals my favorite from Dead Set, but just a step below. Incredibly beautiful though, spilling with emotion

Eyes Of The World
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Easily overlooked because of the magical Playin'>UJB>Dew>UJB>Playin' earlier in the set - this version still shines brightly all on it's own

May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

The Other One
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Oh my GOD, the jam out of Drums on this! Very Santana-esque jam, as Coralsand articulated. Primal 70's hyper-speed muscle. Very choice
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Very interesting to transition into this out of PITB. Love the curveball. Fine version taboot
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Hits a very nice, melodic peak and the unusual meat material in the sandwich is undeniably tasty
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Agree in total with HVD. Sick slipknot and the Franklin's is a very bouncy piece of fun. Great version of the suite - nice choice for 30 days of dead
Truckin'
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Agree, the Truckin' is fine, but the real magic comes with the NFBM > Drums > Feelin' Groovy Jam. The keys/drum/bass jam after the Drums is super interesting, then Lesh pulls them into an utterly sick Groovy jam. Great, great sequence
