This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

This is just a great set. Unmistakeably 80s, but that's part of its greatness. No other version of the band sounds like this one. That Playin > Crazy Fingers opener is just a lovefest.
Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

One of those great Eyes where, at times, it seems like the band's barely playing. But they are. (Playing)
Tennessee Jed
Oct. 26, 1971
The Palestra, U. of Rochester

I'm surprised this isn't rocketing up the charts! This is such a lovely, sweet, perfeck Jed. Sorry to comment on my own entry, but yelks!
The Eleven
June 5, 1969
Fillmore West

Light on its feet, pinballing, tilt-a-whirl version. Garcia laying it on the line as usual.
Estimated Prophet
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Garcia just glitters! The whole band rises up.
