Eyes Of The World
Jan. 17, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Wharf Rat

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.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Yes this is smoky from top to bottom.
Caution
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that many of you might do well to spark one up before you hear this.
He's Gone
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

The last five minutes of this version are amazing and the last minute or so before the transition to Caution is uniquely beautiful.
Let It Grow
April 13, 1986
Irvine Meadows

The transition from supplication is smooth and Jerry's playing is clear and strong.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

Great scarlet solo and a really sweet transition. I like the fire better than klaus smith does even though something apparently goes wrong with jerry's rig for a moment before the first verse. This is a nice one -from the same batch as DP6 - but definitely stands up well on its own.
