Eyes Of The World

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

I have not been able to put this one down for about two weeks now. Today I heard the SBD for the first time. It was fine, but I've been listening to Jim Wise's AUD up to this point and it sounds more like a matrix. The fact is that you gain nothing with the SBD - You can hear Jerry and Bobby just as well with the AUD - but with the SBD you lose the sound of the audience's reaction, which adds to the experience a couple of times in the 2nd solo.
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

I hate this song - until I listen to it - and 8 times out of 10 I am blown away. This came up on shuffle today - I never would've cued it up on my own - and I had wallpaper and glue on my hands. I was forced to listen to a letter perfect version of this song. Bobby, Donna and Jerry all crush this version. And I wouldn't even have made this comment if I hadn't gone outside 5 minutes ago and literally encountered streetcats in the throes of love.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 13, 1981
Civic Center

I can see why the guys hoped sailor>saint would be popular - and why it never was outside of this little world. Nevertheless, these is some loloyodel video of this on YouTube and it's good enough for me.

Olympic Center

A solid version until Garcia hits a peak in the 2nd solo. The peak puts this into the top 10 - but not much higher.
Pretty Peggy O
Oct. 30, 1977
Assembly Hall - Indiana University

This second set '77 Peggy O has a soaring solo and Keith on some pseudo harpsichord.
