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
Oct. 18, 1972
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
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Should also say that this has, along with 9/11/74, one of the best preseventyfive intros out there.
Estimated Prophet
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

5/7/77 was the first time that Eyes directly followed Estimated (from what I can tell), but there was no segue--Estimated ended and from 'dead air' we get Eyes. Cool to know this Boston show (in the 'hockey rink'--Phil) was the first Estimated, Eyes--I hadn't known that until your post prompted me to go back and double check.
Loose Lucy
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Nice call! A tight version that socks a good punch! Jerry's solo is brief but well-developed.
Cassidy
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Nice one. Marshmallowy smooth like a big Cadillac. The jam towards the end is succinct but interesting.
Black Peter
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

A nice Bird Song, Cumberland, Truckin' and PITB in this show, too. Oh yeah, and it's '72 so TOO ain't half bad, either.
