He's Gone
April 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

A solid version with a passage about a minute long straight out of the heavens - directly following the a capella section. Must hear.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Horrible video with STELLA sound on YouTube.

Black Peter

Rutgers Athletic Center

The first solo is sweet and beautiful. The outro is short, bluesy shredding.

Eyes Of The World

Rutgers Athletic Center

The well played end to a S>F>E>E combination. Jerry plays with a theme recognizable from the eyes on DP6.

Uncle John's Band

Baltimore Civic Center

The encore of the penultimate show of May 1977. It's short, but these people are practiced at this date.

Friend of the Devil
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Very nice. Bob takes a rare solo in between Brent and Jerry.

I think this is top 10 and the video certainly helps to make that case. It's hard to watch the second solo and say otherwise. If, on the other hand, videos existed of, say 12/28/79 and a bunch of others, we would have a different landscape to be sure.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I like the matrix for this one. The reverb of the AUD makes the dreamy intro even dreamier.

Grand Prix Racecourse

Filthy. I don’t hear fotm or franklins. I just hear the good stuff.

My favorite hour of music: S>F>Est>Eyes. Not a letdown in this one with this seaweed source.
