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.

Playin' In The Band
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Lots to grok here: I'm just discovering this one and listening to the whole sandwich on repeat. I'm mostly a pre-hiatus Playin' guy, from its '70 Main-Ten origins through to the 40+ min fusion masterpieces of 1974, but this honestly just kicks ass from end-to-end. The 'Arabesque' jam is well named - it evokes both the Blues for Allah period and the '78 Giza shows. Fun fun stuff.
They Love Each Other

Has just a little more bite to it than the '76 versions, though still in the slower mode from the pre-hiatus ones. Flawless is right, as the man said.

Rock solid show opener. Tight from the start. That '77 perfection starts to shine brightly here.

B e s t o n e e v e r. Love how Jerry just doesn't want to stop and grinds out more and more and more.
Not Fade Away

Around 11:20 Jerry and Keith hit on a new riff that opened up the slow boil onto new terrain. Repetitious? Hardly.... They hit on something that just goes bonkers, turning NFA into hard acid.
