Hell in a Bucket
Nov. 6, 1987
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Absolutely gorgeous! Nearly as nice as the 11/4/77 Eyes at Colgate, with not quite the same outrageous sense of urgency as that one... And yep, into a savage Samson.....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 11, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Holy cow. Wonderful and unique all over the place. Powerful, too.

Giants Stadium

Wow. Jerry goes a little bananas, as only he can, toward the end, after a beauty of a loping, grooving Eyes. Wow. Hearing this for the first time in a long time, not sure why it doesn't get more attention. Everything before space is spectacular, and it has a long, powerful first set.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

Epic.
