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.

The Other One

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!

July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

One of the all-time great 'EP'>'Eyes' transitions. Tablet double-post.
Eyes Of The World

Winterland Arena

As far as Jerry's soloing in between the verses goes (--on the merit of that and the intro is what methinks makes or breaks a great Eyes--), that featured here, sure as cramps after disagreeable food, is good.

Grossly underrated (6 votes? C'mon!).

Meaty.
Turn On Your Love Light

Like good poetry, quickly and efficiently says and does a lot. Hot show.
