Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

Eyes Of The World

Feyline Field

Locked in is right - just a reminder this take is a 10 and if you take a listen you might just turn it to 11. Straight with no chaser right here.
Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I’m pretty sure this was 1st time played and it was known as “The Blow Jam” (sometimes mis-labeled “The Sixteen”). Either way it smokes and supposedly you can hear Phil bust a string in the middle break after Jer’s 3rd woooo...didn’t make the movie due to film crew bathroom break.
