Eyes Of The World

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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

There is a Mountain Jam tease in the transition and that only plays a bit part in what makes this pair so good.
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The first solo is crisp and lightning fast, but the second one is a religious experience. This Deal is dangerously underrated - I urge you not to give into to the squirrel-headed demagoguery of the versions in front of this masterpiece.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

This show is great - and this BEW is a great recommendation. Jerry's solo is great, but made better by the solo that Brent is basically playing at the same time. Top 20.
Candyman
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nothing. This is excellent.
