Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

^^Yes, the Dylan influence is very evident here. I think it's just as much influenced by the Yard Birds. This was a really good demo session. It's interesting to hear this early stuff, they where finding there way during the very early psychedelic era.

Bobby and Donna provide some beautiful vocal harmonies on this one. Jerry's solos are especially soaring on this version, partially due to the Travis Bean guitar that he was using at the time.

Phil is really driving this Eyes is along. This is fast, and energetic. Jerrys playing is especially crisp on this one. The T.B is perfectly suited for his high register solo work. And as every one else has stated, they transition into Wharf Rat flawlessly.

Attention all NFA fans. This one is precise and energetic. I could see this in any head's top 5. This song is form the 87 Giants stadium show that was recently release as part of a box set. The soundboard transfer is good, probably not as good as the box set, though.

This is a strong, tight rendering of this beutiful song. Kieth was providing some nice piano flourishes, and he was less then a month in!
