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.

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...

Bertha
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

A song that I feel was good in each part of its iteration. Jerry's solo in this version is quite accomplished and kinda goes outside in a sweetly melodic way, something that later in the decade he would maybe abandon in his solo on 'Bertha' but use on that in 'TLEO', albeit slowed down.
