Baltimore Civic Center

DP #23 from Baltimore...yet another jazz exploration that winds and weaves and delights. More introspective than intense & quite worthy!

Roosevelt Stadium

Fantastic 15+ minutes of standa-lone Scarlet featuring a very Phil-front bass section post-lyrics. Final jam section gets real jazzy, too.

From a hot steamy night in Texas an equally hot & steamy Terrapin, which melts into a great Estimated

Eyes Of The World

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Hidden gem! Jazzy mellow intro to fluid, energetic Garcia-led jamming. Cross-up on 'beaches & seasons" in 1st verse chorus- Phil yells "Get it right!"

^^^^I just discovered 2/27/94 and was blown away by it. I'd seriously put it top 3 all time, although this one to me is the absolute best.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Surprised, even bowled-over by how good--no, great--this version is. Love the 2 1/2 minute intro, the acoustic guitar sound, the sick jam Jerry treats us to before the return to the main theme in the coda. This isn't just fantastic for 1994--it's one of the very best from any era, and deserves to be top 3 all-time. Stunning stuff and a terrific recommendation. Oh, and the Supplication tease? Icing on the cake.

^^^^Very cool history lesson, Donnie...thank you! Next we need to dig into the legend of whether Dupree really killed a jewelry store owner for a $1,000 ring :-)

Fillmore West

Jerry's final solo (with whole band in tow) digs down DEEP into jam-jam Hall of Fame stuff here. My favorite.
