Builds to a ferocious crescendo.
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 4, 1977
Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Fiercest Eyes ever was played today in 1977! Fiery, ferocious, explosive. It feels like some of the wrathful beauty of a Cryptical Coda from 1969-1970 is slashing through Jerry’s guitar….from an underrated 77 show.
Dark Star
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Keith dives right in (2nd show) to make this profoundly groovy Dark Star-Sittin’-DS-Bobby McGee….
Crazy Fingers
July 18, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

How in tarnation is this only 5 votes?!? Always a tough tune to totally pull off live, true, but always a thing of ragged beauty! This was the first since 9/30/76... The coda jam, outro, whatever we want to call it, is gorgeous and lush! Lyrically, Hunter was running on all cylinders here and when they manage to pull it off so sweetly and Jerry let's those crazy fingers go....
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Whoa. This has become a new favorite.... Everyone should listen. Entire show is ridiculous. Especially the Eleven and the Cryptical Reprise, though the whole show is tight and magnificent and sublime.
