Surprised to not see this listed - this entire show should be on here.

Surprised this one isn't listed. Nice mellow version with super clean playing by JG. Fantastic show.

I'm not always the biggest Mexicali fan, but Jerry's playing on this is dope. Sounds to me like there are a few Big River teases here. Good stuff.

This one starts off kinda run of the mill, then Jerry lays down a sick solo starting around the 4 minute mark. Great JG show as a whole.

Jerry’s playing is so good here. This might be the most underrated version of any song on HV.
Eyes Of The World

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Fast, clean, tight playing by JG. I usually steer clear of this show because Jerry's vocals throughout bother me for some reason - kinda too theatrical or something. The playing is excellent though.

Universal Amphitheatre

This is so good I must comment again. 3:46-3:48 - this is the little riff I love the most.

Veterans Auditorium

Really cool version, and unique like others have mentioned. This needs to be bumped up the list. And what is up with Heady V not having Slewfoot or Green Green Grass of Home listed in the song catalog?

Fantastic closing solo by Jerry. One of my faves ever.
