The Bear tape is a bit over-saturated, but the band is just killing it from all corners. Don't pass this one up out of aud-o-phobia.

Look for the Bear recording, which is the proper speed: You'll find a killer version with an explosive transition than just soars.

Jerry's diamond hard-edged tone slices and slashes achingly, hauntingly, and clear desperado mode.

Just Jerry, Phil, and Bobby are audible in this weird tape - but what a study of their communication. Worth a listen for that alone.

Channels missing in the SBD (no keys, quite vocals), but if you want to study just Jerry's solo, (and it's a killer one), then give this a spin.

Nice long ride. Up and down, squiggling peaks followed by blissful space, followed by further peaks....

Just amazing. Where's the rest of the show?

Nice but incomplete. We'd be grateful for any link to a full show during this amazingly dead month.

The meltdown shoots you out of a cannon like surpise ayahuasca after the deceptively mellow vocals.

Short and sweet. Really mellow vocals followed by a shot-out-of-the-cannon meltdown right into a great Eyes.
