El Paso
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

Bobby's vocals are especially sweet & heartfelt in this one & Jerry adds some tasty southwestern-style licks. Very smooth.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 28, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Interesting & under the radar version-sweet & mellow w/a relaxed intro & then usual great '77 exploration jamming--but more lovely than intense

Let It Grow

100% agree (best of '77) and Garcia goes just ballistic in the latter half of the song.
Bird Song
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Phil can be heard after they finish saying "Dynamite!" Agreed.
Eyes Of The World
April 27, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

Yes, the jamming is nice & the transition into Eyes is a fun, rare treat, but it has to be noted also that Jerry's voice is absolutely terrible here* (as it was for much of '85). Not trying to hate at all, just saying that when it comes to overall headiness of this version, this should be taken into account. * Just listen to him barely croaking out the opening line in Scarlet, and Eyes isn't much better.

Jerry's 2 solos push this into legendary territory. No surprise from the show that never stops giving.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

This whole show is spectacular (especially the DS)...Top 3 of '72, and yes, that includes the Europe shows.
