Awesome. Very elongated solo and some nice verse flourishes

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

Eyes Of The World
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

The melodic chord strumming Jerry started doing post hiatus in the second half of the song is a little janky here (see 9/3/77 or 2/3/78 for a good example of this if you're unsure of what I'm talking about) which is probably the only reason it isn't higher on here. Really unique vocal delivery as well. This is way underrated and is mandatory listening for this song IMO. Added to the long, long list of breathtaking eyes performances. Pure Garcia

Incredible tone from wolf, amazing group jamming and fluidity, Bobby loud in the mix, strong outro section, flawless soloing from Jerry, big contributions from Phil and Keith... Needs to be way higher. Listen again people this hangs with 8/6/74 and is imo even better
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Veneta is probably a hair better just because of the recording quality but man this playin is a force to be reckoned with. When Kreutzmann does that little snare roll and the band just explodes its priceless. Mandatory listening

This may be blasphemous to some but I think this is just as good as 2/13. Truly insane jamming. Listen again folks if Dick picked it it'd be top 5

SO underrated. Jerry is a snakecharmer here and you're the snake
