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.

Turn On Your Love Light

Pig's line "and after all that" coming out of a fast paced chase through the jam-a-thon is pretty funny too. This is a big barn-burning number, and could really stand a good cleanup so that the audiophobes can listen to it without fear. Really, heads, this is under-rated, and should be much higher.

Clearly one of the most inspired and radically jammed versions with fantastic power. Does anyone else hear in Jerry's solo musical references to traded solos on "The End" off of Abbey Road? In any case, it's blasting and oh-so-good.

Or a bone in its nose. There's some deep darkness to it, and it grooves beautifully.

Performed as a ballad. A beautiful different interpretation. Lovely warm guitar sound in spite of the B-quality AUD that's suffered a touch of damage.

Should definitely go higher on the list. The '76s are all just so good, but this one has special tightness to it - and a great Betty Board.
