Wooden and crunchy. Nice interplay between Jerry and Phil. Vince blows little zephyrs.

So much Dead to soothe my soul, and this is some of it. Tight.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Gaelic Park

When the going gets weird, Weir sings the headlight part.

Eyes Of The World

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

This one doesn't have the shimmering lyricism of, say, 5/22/77, but the logic of Jerry's phrasing is a hoot.

The Other One
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

Needs to be on the map. Features a jam that seems to be based on Skydog's 'Little Martha' and a nice 'Tiger Jam', but that's not all...

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

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.
