Eyes Of The World
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

I love '77 Eyes, but disappointed in this one. Just too fast and rushed, and this became a theme after 1977. I much prefer 2/26/77 @ Swing Auditorium, 5/22/77 (DP4), 9/3/77 Englishtown, and 10/29/77 Dekalb.

This version of El Paso is amazing. A great audience recording. Listen to the stunningly smooth harmonies!!! I'm convinced one of the New Riders sang harmony with Bob on this .. Doesn't sound like Jerry. And Jerry's acoustic soloing throughout is sublime. I generally am as sick as everyone else of this song, but when I heard it in passing it stood out like a gem.
