I yearn for a better recording of this show.

Another unsurprisingly great '78 Prophet. Can't get enough of these EP outros, just so.... Jerry

Uptempo with liquid gold Jerry leads. Only EP exists on SBD from this 2nd set-- fight through the muffled AUD and hear the Garcia flamethrower.

Fantastic '78 EP. This song was untouchable in '78 and Jerry doesn't let up in the outro

Amazing solo, just when you think Jerry's done he explodes with some lightning fast hyperpicking

Eyes Of The World

This one gets my vote. This is a rhythm section showcase. I hate how these musicians don't get any credit aside from Jerry (superficially) outside of deadhead circles; listen to Kreutzmann here and tell me that's not a drummer that should be mentioned alongside the likes of Elvin Jones, John Bonham, etc. Same can be said for Phil, Bobby, possibly Keith too

Good call on the aud ds. Sweet outro jam here

This should be higher. Most 80s eyes (in my most likely inadequate experience, as evidenced by this comment) tend to have somewhat disjointed solos that lack the infectious melody and phrasing of the 70s. This one has got two great solos although I wish the second solo was longer. The first solo has that idiosyncratic phrase-to-phrase Jerry "flow" to it that tends to go missing after '78. Very pleasant surprise here

^^^Nice glimpse into their friendship. Moments like that are priceless
