Darkness Jam
May 7, 1970
DuPont Gym - MIT

The first one, (maybe not, unheard tapes are being released Dave’s Picks Vol 6), this Darkness Jam is in the middle of an amazing Lovelight.

Darkness Jam
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

Starting at the 7:55 minute mark of GDTR, again very short, but a beautiful Darkness Jam. On RT Vol. 1 No. 3, give it a listen.

He's Gone
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

Very sublime into by Lesh start this soulful He’s Gone. The jam that follows breaks down to pure chaos, Fall ’79 rules again.

Morning Dew
Sept. 17, 1982
Cumberland County Civic Center

Hard to believe this version has not been nominated, one of the beat from ’82, Jerry in strong voice, Phil bombs. Good matrix out now as well.

Black Peter
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

The “Run and See” portion of this Black Peter is off the charts, the best I have heard. The Charlie Miller SB transfer is outstanding, give it a listen. There needs to be an official release from the Spring ’78 Virginia shows, (2 Virgina , 1 West VA) all are very good.
Aiko Aiko
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

The first one is a good version, coming out of St Stephens. I sure many thought it was Not Fade Away, which they then seamlessly transition into after Aiko. Great sequence, give it a listen.
Gimme Some Lovin'
June 25, 1985
Blossom Music Center

Would have nominated this version, I Love It!!
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

This one needs more votes, you should have it, Dick's Picks #34, you know the saying "When Phil is on..."
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

This is when I “Got It”, my third show, up all night started moving forward after the break, found a milk crate about 100’ from the massive stage, the Half-Step in the first set gave me chills, but this Eyes just transcended space and time that day, (It was my first dance song at my wedding, some 23 years later) and continues to inspire me.
