Phil joyously expresses himself on this. A gun shot is heard on this one signaling a jam, and the William Tell Bridge is really well played. Excellent

Sandwiched between Truckin’ and Eyes, this jam takes me to checkerboard floors and red curtains. Deserves its own place. Unique Jerry lines.

I adore any version of this tune. This one is particularly joyful and full of life.

Bouncy as it is lysergic. Unique phrasing from Jerry. Everybody’s vocals are on. The Rider is some pure country fried jamming if I’ve ever heard it.

This is The Dead at peak performance level. Cataclysmic version. Everyone is ON. Explorative and not a beat missed. Easily top 5 of 69.

I’m very partial towards 77-79 for my Dancin’s, but even this version is groovy. The transition out of Dark Star is sick and Jerry’s rhythm playing is awesome as well.

Absolutely cosmic jam before the first verse. So incredibly pretty, this feels very precise yet so free. Complete control of the form. The space gets deep QUICK. Hold on as we go into spaces filled with anti matter. “This is serious!” Says Bobby, which he certainly means. The band quickly start/ emulating the sounds of a UFO. Aliens interacting with this big blue ball. 4th dimensional jamming takes place as the echoes of something that once was attacks the mind. Soundscapes of extraterrestrial beings and landscapes ensue. The Necronomicon in musical form. Lots of magik in this one. The Main 10 ensues, putting anyone who listens under The Warlocks demonic spell. Dark and one of the best.

Truly as dark as they come. Jerry is full of intent right from the get go. A deep dive into silent reflection and quiet flashes of tranquility. What emerges is something that should not be. This feedback section still shakes me to my core. An electronic astral projection takes forth as a cacophony of sound summons an ancient demon right on stage. Afterwards we have serenity and peace. Brilliantly jammed out. Taken to the outer reaches of the cosmos towards the event horizon, eventually hurling towards the unknown. Top 5 for me. One of the best of all time no doubt. Rest in peace Jimi Hendrix.

Captures a nostalgic energy that not many Eyes are able to do in my opinion. A tornado of magik and wonder. The boys dance down yellow brick brick road in the land of Oz exploring and charting new landscapes. Love this version.

They’re all 10 steps ahead of each other. They just knew exactly where they were going to go, how they got there, was determined at that moment. Beautiful spontaneous space travel that takes you through it all. Celestial.
