Throwing Stones
May 25, 1993
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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 25, 1990
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Certifiably heady China>Rider, In between jam is particularly sweet, takes a little bit for Phil to properly join the mix but once he does take cover cause you're about to be carpet bombed!
Eyes Of The World
May 5, 1991
Cal Expo

To comment on Beggarstombs previous comment, Bruce is actually not present for the Cal Expo shows - Vince only for 5/3, 4 and 5 of 1991. Makes Vince more impressive IMO
They Love Each Other
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

FAT slow They Love Each Other - Phil bombs all across New Mexico, maybe people thought it was the White Sands Missile Range (~);)
The Eleven
Feb. 21, 1969
Dream Bowl

Incredible 11, like others have commented before tight and long! This really reminds me of the versions revived by the Phil Lesh Quintet that seemingly stretch on forever yet remain incredibly tight. Might be the best??
Promised Land
June 19, 1980
West High Auditorium

Supercharged Promised Land after Alabama, the boys are here to rock!
