HOT NFA with Stepehn-ish jam around 6 min akin to the jam before the NFA on 7/28/82

Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version

Very hot and heady Other One out of space, leads into a great Dew

Eyes Of The World

Rainbow Theatre

Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

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

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
