Eyes Of The World

New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Wharf Rat
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Nassau Coliseum

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Playin' In The Band
Jan. 6, 1978
Swing Auditorium

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

Deal

City Island

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

Not Fade Away
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Where is the love? I have been on a 77-78 NFA thing for 6+ months and this is one of my go-to ones for a run in that while.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

All I’m looking for with this pair is Garcia’s guitar work on supplication. This is top 5 in that respect for me.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Grugahalle

I don’t usually care for this song, but I do after I saw the video of this one. I don’t actually know that many of these but I do know that what Jerry did with this one was good.
Deal

Grugahalle

5 years later, I revisited this one today. I’m glad to see that it’s picked up some steam. It’s not quite the equal of 5/1/81, but it is of 11/30/80 and it can hang with anything from 89-93, GD or JGB.
