Playing->Ship of Fools->Playin' Jam = 30 minutes of dead-y goodness

Eyes Of The World

Hampton Coliseum

Tribal, thunderous; perhaps because it comes out of Victim and goes into drumz

Knickerbocker Arena

Chugs along at a nice clip. It was included on Dozin' At the Knick, which I believe qualified it as heady.

Bird Song

Alpine Valley

1989 was a very good year for Birdsongs. This one deserves consideration along with 10/8/89 and 12/8/89.

Rocking. Used on the soundrack of the movie "The Music Never Stopped."

The Other One
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Easy mistake to make, especially given the confusing way Road Trips 3.3 was structured, but the That's It For the Other One->Cosmic Charlie is actually from the 5/15 early show, not late.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1990
The Omni

Short but very tight, and oh so rocking.
Jack Straw

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

The little slide guitar lick that intros the song is just exactly perfect.
El Paso
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Has the distinction of being the least heady'ed song from 5/8/77. But during dotcom this song used to get stuck in my head all the time from listening to this show, so I'm adding a vote.
Caution
Dec. 12, 1969
Thelma Theater

Ordered a copy of Dave's Picks 10 this morning when it was announced. Stoked to hear this!
