Eyes Of The World

Paramount Theatre

Among the obvious things, Weir's a genius. No one like him. As often in 1977, he's in top form. Garcia's a fever dream. What a 2-guitar machine.

Capitol Theatre

Wow - keys with the Tormato-era Yes reference. Impressive and strange!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

McGaw Memorial Hall - Northwestern University

Weir and Kruetzmann crush this one. I mean, they all do. But how lovely it sounds on the Wake extras!

Fillmore West

Sludgy invention of stoner rock. The GD at its heaviest. Like Sabbath heavy. All the way through.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

Majestic and large. If Mahler was a band.
