Turn On Your Love Light

Wonderful, highly underrated version that keeps the energy high all throughout. The jam after Pigs 'Box Back Nitties' line is killer

While the recording isn't great, you can still hear and feel the intensity. Really great and worth checking out

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Boston Garden

"Good luck to the Celtics" - Bobby. I believe in reference to the Pacers game (Celtics lost) great US Blues, Jerry doesn't fumble any vocals *I think*

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Come for the China Cat, stay for the Rider. Jerry steals your face while screaming "On a Northbound Train"

Nice, standard 90's jam after the main song is over, Phil really leads the way here
Eyes Of The World
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Classic version, have to love these "disco" Eyes. Glad to see it get released on vinyl later this year

Subdued near Spanish jam at the end thanks to Jerry! First truly inspired playing in the second set, very cool lead into Terrapin. Excellent

Nothing to write home about - decent Eyes>Man Smart. The use of Jerry's MIDI during the jam of Eyes doesn't add anything for me personally
