Ramble On Rose

Winterland Arena

A few steps beyond Just Exactly Perfect. Jerry's main solo is hair-raising stuff.

Easily Weir's best slide work of the 70s. The general vibe of these Egypt shows lends itself so well to Row Jimmy.
El Paso

Upvoted for the ladies absolutely hollering at Bobby for the duration of the song. He must have had his Mojo working overtime that night.
Eyes Of The World

It sounds like they've never played it before, and I mean that in the best way possible. The sound we're more familiar with is the superior approach, but this is a great example of the band being adaptable and playing to the uniqueness of the environment.

This is a unique version -- slower and more mellow without feeling lethargic. Bob seems particularly inspired on guitar here. Not quite an all-timer, but certainly worth hearing.
