Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Monkey and the Engineer
Dec. 31, 1970
Winterland Arena

Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Mason's Children
Jan. 24, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Jerry’s solo takes the cake.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

I share the same sentiments stated above. During the coda, Phil stages a near total takeover. A great Eyes from a great era.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Um, a glaring oversight on us Deadheads. This should be ranked way higher....
Death Don't Have No Mercy

The Ark

Jerry belts impassioned vocals. The sorrow is graced with beauty.
Mountains of the Moon
April 22, 1969
The Ark

A highlight of a stellar show.
