They really attack it as opposed to sauntering through it…one of the most energetic I’ve heard! Don't let an audience tape scare ya...

Starts with some Buddy Rich-style hi-hat play…sounds like he’s doing that thing Buddy would do playing the bottom hat with his left hand fingers!

Just hearing this for the first time -- WOW! Fast and energetic, sure, but it's also heavier than most Eyes...this one has some bite!

Was listening to this show in the backyard yesterday for the anniversary...when Donna let out that scream on the outro, my dog jolted out of her sleep and looked at me like "WTF?!"

Such a soothing (pre-OMSN) finish to this epic, Top 5 show of all time. Jerry does some really cool stuff during the 7/4 section.

This version of this oft-played sandwich is better than most, that's for sure. Bubbling over with euphoric energy, driving home one of the best shows ever in style.

Faster than most! Some great tambourine work during the solo as well...
