Eyes Of The World

Iowa State Fairgrounds

One of those things that made people say years later "Why don't the Dead play stuff like that anymore?'. The only answers are either they didn't care about what their fans wanted to hear or they were incapable of doing it any longer.

If Kenny G had an abortion, this song would be it.

Winterland Arena

Jerry doing some fanning during the first instrumental break and also towards the end of Keith's solo. What makes this stand out is the work Jerry does when Bob's singing. He's laying out some very nice lines of his own. Worth a listen.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Very interesting solo by Keith. His tones are able to mimic last last verse being sung, followed by a mimic of a guitar solo. The guy takes a lot of heat, but if you pay attention, you'll hear a lot of incredibly good playing from him.

Solid '73 version, but not the best. Too bad Keith isn't given the lead. Jerry does a lot of fanning towards the end. Worth a listen.
