This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Probably won't hold much for the older Heads, but I like it.

Hornsby always makes Jerry sing better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16
Eyes Of The World

Nice groove on this one. I need to check out the rest of this show!

Uptown Theater

I like the relaxed tempo, and it lets the band get funky. The vocals are (uncharacteristically) good, and Brent is exploring a wide range of sounds and colors that help this version pop. Wish there wasn't a cut in the solo! Nice call on this one.

Greek Theatre - University of California

Hey Grendel, thanks for the recommendation! One of my first tapes was the 7/31 Manor Downs show, so I'm a big fan of the '82 shows. I'll check it out!
