Winterland Arena

Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Kiel Auditorium

Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Jerry’s solo takes the cake.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

I share the same sentiments stated above. During the coda, Phil stages a near total takeover. A great Eyes from a great era.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Um, a glaring oversight on us Deadheads. This should be ranked way higher....

Jerry belts impassioned vocals. The sorrow is graced with beauty.
Mountains of the Moon
