This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

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

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

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.
