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.

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.

Sing Me Back Home

Baltimore Civic Center

Yeah, this is one of the best. Doesn't drag at all, vocals in great shape. Beautiful version.
I Know You Rider

Golden State Studios

The most Kingston Trio-ish I've ever heard them sound. What fun. Haven't listened to this in a while, but the comment on "Can't Come Down" brought me here. Cool stuff.

Glad you dig it, darkstar67. The whole second set is balls-to-the wall, with some grit and power.
Playin' In The Band

Keith's work here is superb. He and Jerry are in perfect mind meld. This period for Playin' is such an embarrassment of riches, how could you choose just one favorite? I love how this one finds a beautiful quiet spot mid-way in, gives Billy and Phil some space, then comes sizzling back in like waves of heat off a burning meteor.

The comments are spot on. The punchiness on this one gives in a powerful driven feel. Almost sounds like a musical argument in places: right after the last lyrics in CC, it sounds to me like Jerry tried to pull out a minor variation the Phil vetoed. Anyone else hear it?
