Uncle John's Band

Fillmore East

Gdtrfb, you are right on with this one. The harmonica intro fits perfect. An Uncle John's Band that captures the essence of it all, great find.
Eyes Of The World

Winterland Arena

This whole sequence has been seared into my DNA, Big River>DS>Eyes>China and then followed by one of the best Sugar Mags ever. This Eyes has Jerry, already on Neptune following the Dark Star, absolutely flying at light-speed through the cosmos, couldn't ask for a better sequence... one of the greatest all time shows.
The Other One

Iowa State Fairgrounds

This Other One sounds too me almost like a Dark Star. There is an entrance into some deep dark territory, space, weirdness, but controlled dichotomy and organic playing as one between all, but especially the back and forth between Garcia and Lesh. An immortal jam sequence for sure.

Strong late 80's smoker, Bobby plays some China Cat licks in the first instrumental break, very cool
