Eyes Of The World

Capitol Theatre

There's a beautiful 16mm video of this on YouTube -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf1dNTexCL4. Some absolutely beautiful runs by Jerry here

Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1968
Fillmore East

Not the best sound quality, but the quality shines through. Deserves a listing. Jerry and Bill K. on top form

Me and My Uncle
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

This needs more votes. It's confident, solid, well-delivered, and bouncy as hell.

Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

Dynamic. Not the best, perhaps, but a 25-minute version from DP16 that's definitely worth listing.

Caution
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

An absolute monster. From 'Dick's Picks Vol. 22'. The way Pigpen's vocals are recorded, weaving in and out of the rhythm tracks, is truly haunting.

Kezar Stadium

Bouncy and fun, yes, but noteworthy for an ending that never lets up. They really knew how to end shows. Fantastic stuff
Sugar Magnolia

Kezar Stadium

Unbelievably energetic. Love Donna and Bob's orgasms near the end. Has to be heard
Truckin'
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Incandescent throughout, yes, but I'm especially fond of it for the sweet guitar rhythm jam at the end leading into "The Other One".
Here Comes Sunshine
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

Beats Curtis Hixon, which gets #1 spot only because it's the most widely heard. This Winterland rendition is beautifully upful, flawlessly nailed in every way but just that bit more beauteous and transcendent than other versions.
The Wheel
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Stunningly, flawlessly executed. So much power and commitment and passion; so sweetly handled.
