Eyes Of The World
Jan. 17, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Wharf Rat
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Nassau Coliseum

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Playin' In The Band
Jan. 6, 1978
Swing Auditorium

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

Deal
June 22, 1983
City Island

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

dude420 - when you're right you're right. I was sure there were too many fucks in your review, but as it turns out, I think this is a three fuck song.
Let It Grow

Hampton Coliseum

This one is smoked. The next song is what I consider the #1 Deal. Hard to find a better pair to close a set 1.

This one, with feeling, for John Lennon. The SBD is sterile, but Dave Usborne's matrix brings everything in this heartfelt version to life. A nice way to mourn another anniversary.
Stir It Up

Capital Centre

This is great. I went and looked at the '88 one before I watched this one and there is no comparison and not just because of Bob's singing in the Hampton version, though that doesn't help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iFiPMCYl0Q
