Jack Straw
Set 2 opener; rumbling with lots of Lesh bombs. Ripping guitar and ferocious bobby lyrics.

Black Peter
Real heavy and emotional a powerhouse version. Emotional and poignant a true classic version

Alabama Getaway
Good way to open a very nice 81 show.
3
Eyes Of The World
Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

Estimated Prophet
Brent is beginning to find his way, slinking through Jerry’s glorious mu-tron wahwah madness! Surges beautifully into a great Eyes!

Ship of Fools
Listen to Phil dig in to intro Jerry's mid-jam solo & Garcia croons this one gently & beautifully & the "caution all" stanza is glorious
2
Not Fade Away
I love '81 NFAs... incisive, tight and powerful... this one has a nice bluesy Nobody's Fault-esque jam.
