Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

Very subdued but staccato sounding solos if that makes any sense, pretty standardly great 78 version here

Eyes Of The World

Edmundson Pavilion

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
