High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Eyes Of The World

Boston Music Hall

Any doubt at the time that Mickey coming back was for the good must have quickly evaporated. The Devils just kill it here with their incredible energy and groupmind. Great solos, my favorite Eyes from '76.

Comes up from the side and pulls you out of your body up somewhere near those cloud hands he's singing about. One of the Dead's greatest compositions played here to beautiful effect.
Playin' In The Band

Winterland Arena

Magnificent musicality throughout. Jerry and Keith at about 11:00 go into some wild modal extraterritoriality. It does exactly what I loved about PITB as a 1st set closer, transforming the show from a set of (great) songs into the long, the strange, and the beautiful.

Really really beautiful. Who's that on the smokey backup vocals?

Matter of taste, but this one never fully lifts off for me. Much prefer 22 Jan. '78 for serious face meltage.
