Jerry's having a great night, and check our Brent in the segue to Eyes!

Keith (and everybody) is so on point in this twangy humdinger.

It's a great little tune when they play it like they did in summer '73.

Nassau Coliseum

This might be the highlight of the first set, but it's a really well-played set all around. Try the chasingwilma recording for set I (there's a SBD for set II).
Scarlet Begonias

Alexandra Palace

The technical glitch I can overlook, but Bobby’s noticeably out of tune in stretches of the jam. I can’t upvote, but I can recommend you hear this at least once to appreciate the good aspects, which are significant.
Eyes Of The World

Kiel Auditorium

Fast, nimble, with lots of heart -- basically perfect. It's a great first set overall!
Drums -> Space

Madison Square Garden

This is stupendous and makes me want to revisit all the MSG ’90 Drums>Spaces. Don’t overlook this the next time you hit play on this classic set.

I actually found the last few minutes the most impressive. Jerry switches his guitar tone and the whole jam immediately takes on new colors and textures. Great version.
