Joyous and radiant. This song just brings on the love. High energy pulse throughout.

Jer sings harmony in parts while whipping out precise 16th-note passages at warp speed. Awesome.

Eyes Of The World

Utica Memorial Auditorium
Spring '73 is the fountain of youth for Eyes fans. This brilliant version has the first (?) Slipknot tease around 11:00. Great show all around.

Bobby's really clear on the Miller mix, and it's excellent. Too many shows from '72 have him way way too far back in the sound. This is closer to what I remember it being like live.

Get some headphones for this, and marvel at just what Keith was capable of when he was at his best. This whole set is packed with underappreciated gems like this one: The band is in total mind-meld, while Keith is just spectacular throughout.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Transition to Rider rev's up and is just about to overheat when they pull it way back and start singing quite sweetly. Nice touch - but an awful cut in my version.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre
The first NFA has its moments and is worth a vote, but stick around for the lickety-split GDTRFB (seems like it's accelerating!) and Jerry lets you know just how much water he's got left in the well. The outro then picks up the energy and they close out on a blistering jam. Great stuff.

A real beaut with a perfect fade-out, ending a great 2nd hour-long jam.
