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.

Sugar Magnolia
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

A wonderful version before and after that horrendous cut/fade. Committed and vivacious.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

The chorus is (beauti)fully sung, and Jerry nails the solo after it.
The Race Is On
June 16, 1974
Iowa State Fairgrounds

Keith's stunning piano flourishes make this one a must-listen.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1974
Iowa State Fairgrounds

The "China Cat Sunflower" part is truly sublime. Stunning guitar tone, confident, creative, dazzlingly quick, nimble, playful -- and contains a lovely MLB jam. What more could you ask of a CCS?
Row Jimmy
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

This has greater peaks of guitar emotion than Winterland. There are bits where Jerry makes his strings weep and moan in ways that just aren't there on the Winterland version.
