Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Winterland Arena

mega fabulous version with Jerry vocal fanning, very good and pleasant fall 73 vibe, with mighty backing force
Eyes Of The World
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Yes, yes, yes, times a million. Has that breezy, effortless quality in spades. Basically every time they play Eyes it's going to be amazing because I just love this tune, I'm obsessed with it. But even so, this is still a particularly fire version and maybe the highlight from a good show all around
