Radio City Music Hall

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 17, 1978
Winterland Arena

This should be on the map. Follow it to find the treasure!

Me and My Uncle
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

Promised Land
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

A charged version that starts off a triple-thread run for this massive second set.

Should be ranked higher. The N.F.A->G.D.T.R.F.B->Hey Bo Diddley->N.F.A. combo is top shelf.

Phil leaves his tire tracks all over you back on this whopper. What a week this was in Grateful Dead history!

Truckin'
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Still no comments, eh? This one left everyone speechless I guess! Energetic, yet about as tight as a Truckin' can get for the era. It rocks with a nice, swirling ending jam before drums, and no vocal flubs, to boot! Along with 4/21, this Truckin' is top-shelf for '78.
