Eyes Of The World

New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

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

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

Playin' In The Band

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

City Island

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

I'm doing one of Sharleena's spreadsheets with the 77 halfsteps. What's your project going to be darkstar67? Dark star? Are you done S>F, Sharleena? Ready to take on Sugaree?

Underrated.

Frailing or fanning - or whatever you want to call it - isn't my favorite way for a Jerry solo to peak, but the frailing in the second break is clean, clear and powerful. This is a good recommendation.

I thought this was great. I saw you comment on this a couple days ago and I put it at the top of my list. You're right darkstar, it's not the best ever, but it's much better than many of the 7 minute, perfunctory halfsteps you'll find from 85-95. I just don't have enough time to listen these days, especially when school starts. If I ever make it to retirement, this music is going to replace a big chunk of my work life. Next up is that 12/11/72 halfstep you mentioned and then I'm going to get on that 77 halfstep project - complete with one of Sharleena's spreadsheets.

Great ship, darkstar. Let this video take you back: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sc02NqsBgs
