Let It Grow

Hampton Coliseum

Lightning quick yet totally on-track riffs from Jerry; intense, powerful version. Weir 100% into it. Segues into killer Deal. Trust me. Must hear.

Perfect wind up, pitch & strike down the middle. I've yet to hear a better one, though I'll try some of the recs here. Til then.....

Good Lovin'

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

@thoughtson.... No secret about it. Hands down I'll put this show up against any of 1977 or any year for that matter.
The Other One
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Rivals 1-22-78 for best of 1978. Honorable mention to 12/31, although technically it was past midnight when they played it so it's really a '79 ;-)
Eyes Of The World
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

Yes! Needs a bump on the list. April '78 is what May was to '77, and this (or perhaps 4/24) is arguably the best show of the month. Very worthy Eyes.
It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Hornsby AND Marsalis? Yes, please. This here is the one.
Bird Song
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

I'm sold. (But look for the Miller version that corrects a glitch.)
