Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

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
