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.

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
June 22, 1983
City Island

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

Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

Inasmuch as this is a cocaine-fueled Franklin's, it's at least in the top 5 for the hyperspeed versions. I think top 10 for the stand alone variety as well. It's shortish (10 min.), but it gets to the point in a way that Cape Cod doesn't and there is all this virtuoso playing.

By the time they get to Franklin's Tower, they're cooking. Jerry is really aggressive - from the first note on.

The section before rio grandeo is delicate and resplendent.
