Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

Obligatory, but fun nonetheless.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

Eyes Of The World

Capital Centre

Magical version that demands more love. Same with the "Foolish Heart" that follows.
Dark Star

This one made it to the latest 30 Days so I figured it had to be worth a listen. This is a very good twilight era "Dark Star" with an excellent acid jazz breakdown where Vince especially shines. Not as good 3/20/92, but at 13 minutes it's a lengthy version that gets out there. Coupled with the 12 minute reprise on 12/16 (Dick's Picks 27), you have a good 20 minute of satisfying "Dark Star." Probably the last truly expansive version before 5-7 minute versions became the norm.

This is a great version.

Yea, this one hits the sweet spot. Less intense, "cozy" is indeed the right word. It's like a warm blanket or a cool summer breeze. Love this one.

Best one I've heard. Jerry's solo is divine.
