Feelin' Groovy Jam
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

Underrated China>Rider featuring this magnificent Feelin' Groovy jam - you think it's gonna end but they just rip it for another climax. What a treat!

Meadowlands Arena

Starts off choppy with Jerry forgetting lyrics but by "Throw me in the jailhouse" the band is in fine form

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Strong post-hiatus version - Phil thundering away on this one. Love how Jerry belches out "BOYS sing 'round the fire"

Eyes Of The World

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

As the previous comment said, just a really fun show. Whole show is to die for and I can't imagine how fun it was to see a post space Eyes

Zenith

Victim>Eyes is an underappreciated combo, executed well this night
The Music Never Stopped
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This is the first version when I truly understood why it's called The Music Never Stopped
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1991
Boston Garden

Nice Hornsby jam at the end
Playin' In The Band
March 31, 1991
Greensboro Coliseum

On the heels of a tremendous Eyes - I bet if this was included with the rest of the bonus on Dick's Picks 17 it would be *much* higher on this list
