Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Morning Dew

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Eyes Of The World
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

One of the all-time great 'EP'>'Eyes' transitions. Tablet double-post.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 23, 1974
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

Fox Theatre

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