Morning Dew
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

Frickin' gorgeous rendition here, that final crescendo is one hell of some sort of evangelical chaotic brain altering space-cosmos slamming gas churning shred. In addition, failing to mention that first major solo section would be pure heresy, it churns like no other, I agree, Garces, this thing is a kingdom, possibly better than Barton.
Morning Dew
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Scorching, first major solo section, emotionally lulling, like a chaotic stream of curling fire the guitar lines cut deep, powerfully, leading into the final solo section, where leading from meandering melancholy to shredding, a mood of major emotion is put forth.
Here Comes Sunshine
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Driven, flowing, intense tension filled vocals, slinky, and jazzy. Close knit, tight, and bouncy Guitar and bass lines interweaving and interplaying simultaneously, a knot of musical synergy.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

China Cat, provides a smooth Feelin' Groovy, the main theme is phrased three times. Thematically and melodically this China Cat is coherent and slinky. The Rider that follows is solid enough, highlight, however, is certainly this transition. Good, serious version, needs more votes.
Eyes Of The World
June 30, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Different, but in an intricate and spiraling swift way, Keith in particular shines. A white hot version coming in from a cold blue spacey Dark Star.
