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.

Gaelic Park

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

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 11, 1977
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...

Caution

Fillmore East

I've been wondering the same thing of late, CarrionCrow. I've wanted to post the feedback from the 12/12/69 for a long time as that one is a nice piece of spontaneous composition.

Fantastic stuff. A great sequence. Is it my favorite? Don't know. But does it deliver the goods? Big time.

More interesting and fun and so just plain better than any I've heard from '72.

Preposterously underrated.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 12, 1969
Thelma Theater

I remarked to myself when I first heard this on the Dave's Pick. After more listens, it is now one of those 'Uncle John's Band's that I think of when I think of my favorite 'Uncle John's Band's. Wraps the deep, primal ethos of the tune in a warmth and exploration and obvious good cheer that is less to be had on many other versions.
