Nice Peaks. Crypical Reprise is a monster.

Avalon Ballroom

Starts off very beautiful and mellow with Garcia driving the train, then flows masterfully, building to a blazing peak of glory at the end!

Nassau Coliseum

An intense, jazzy version that really holds your attention. Comparable to the 2/28 (Dick's Picks 28) version with the Philo Stop.

probably the tightest execution of the "Stronger than Dirt" yet in this early version.

The jam out of Dark Star and into this Eyes is legendary...some of the most beautiful stuff they EVER did! Not to mention Jerry and Keith are playing off each other really great for this only being the 2nd-ever performance.

I prefer the 20th and the 18th for June Eyes, but there was probably never a run better than these. Really unique stuff going on with the funky segue into Big River.
