Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

Eyes Of The World

Fox Theatre

Wow!!! Gorgeous!!!! May not share quite the same urgency of 11/4/77 and 10/29/77... but has its own urgent beauty!!!

Interesting and cool 3-way tie for tenth best Eyes here! Still say this is the most powerful, but the other 2 (10/29/77, 5/22/77) are amazing as well. 10/29 will probably pull ahead, has a few more votes since Dave's 33 release (Deservedly! It's absurdly wild!) but this Eyes (Dave's 12, 11/4/77) is still the go to, all time favorite for some of us. Last few minutes are so ridiculous!!! Listen to all 3 again and again and enjoy!!!

Like everything that did not make the cut to DP 3, this shoulda made the cut. And yet, DP 3 is still one of the greatest albums of all time. Again, go figure.....
