One of the best stand-alone versions IMO, this one gets quite extended for such an early version, with a jam that flows and peaks.

Providence Civic Center

Ok so it's no 6/28/74, but this one holds its own. Real nice playing that gets pretty deep into that freaky-jazzy stuff they do oh so well

Excellent version. Garcia's playing is sharp and jazzy, and Phil is laying into it with some nice bombs. Smooth segue into a great Other One jam

Jazzy Other One with a really nice segue out of Spanish jam.

WOW!!! You're not kidding. Next to 9/2/78 and 11/30/80, this Scar>Fire has one of the all time best, super smooth, out-of-this -world transitions I've ever heard. And the Fire ROCKS! Nice call, man!!

Very nice version. The transition into drums is especially well played.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

The Other One

International Amphitheatre

Great version with a nice Phil solo and lots of peaks and valleys. Psychedelic rock at its best.

Frost Amphitheatre

A very beautiful and patient Eyes, unique in the fact that it's not speed-laced like most '80s versions. Must hear material from a great show.
