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...

Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1978
Arrowhead Stadium

The most interesting version I can think of that clocks in at under 9 minutes, and that ain't meant to disparage none of those fine '71 versions.

Another nice one.

The goods get delivered, '78 vintage-style.

And great final jam, too! This one is a monster. In fact, this whole show is one fine little nugget.
Big Railroad Blues
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Still always the first one that comes to mind.
