Throwing Stones

Cal Expo

VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 20, 1983
The Centrum

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Playin' In The Band
March 12, 1981
Boston Garden

Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone

Comments

He's Gone
Nov. 29, 1981
Civic Arena

Like so many, criminally underrated
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Personally my favorite version from 1990 - criminally underrated
Not Fade Away
July 28, 1982
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Awesome Jam + the band's vocals are on fire!
Dark Star
Nov. 2, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway

One of the best Dark Stars of the primal years - awesome Feelin Groovy jam to boot. Wayyy to low on this list
Wharf Rat
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

Been on a Wharf Rat binge recently (drunk on Burgundy wine) and this is pound for pound the best Wharf Rat I've heard. Not drawn out i.e. 4/25/77 but filled to the brim with jams that flow like butter. Fall of '77 contains the best Wharf Rats all around IMO.
