Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

An explosive reading of the tune. Maybe Billy had an inkling beforehand and just wanted to be sure ya'll knew it was still a cowboy number.

A very nice 'lush' version nominated in the ongoing attempt to evaluate all of Dick's picks.

Proud and upstanding part of a great sequence. Phil is at the top of his game in one of his greatest of bass-playing years.

County Coliseum

This is most notable, I'd say, for the absolutely nuclear bomb that Phil drops during the 'Space' portion. Play it loud on a big rig!

Is the solo on the album the full thing? Regardless, it's very nice, in that intricate, early-'Tiger' way.

Definitely a really good one.
Dark Star

Boston Garden

There were 7 'Dark Star's in '74.
Uncle John's Band

Nassau Coliseum

Just cause something is barely noticed by the radar doesn't mean it is optimal to not check it out.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Currently sits in the top 10 for '73 Eyes and, despite the sense of discovery and energy that Eyes often offered in this year, I'd say is about right. February '73 was a great month for Eyes.
