A sprawling and celebratory 2nd set opener to a fantastic under the radar show from 1987

Energetic and well jammed. Hornsby really shines on this version.

Under the radar version from St. Patrick's Day '88. Really loose and shreddy, nice segue into Eyes

It's really not till the last 5 minutes of the song that you get anything that resembles "crashy noise". This is one that needs full attention though as there is so much going on here. It is certainly not a version you can play in the background during a party. I really do love this version though.
Eyes Of The World

Jai-Alai Fronton

This version is fantastic! It really deserves more love. It's up there with all the other wonderful and highly regarded renditions from '74.

Set aside the cheesy Vince synth sound, this version is really solid and worth the listen for those that enjoy the song.

I agree, this is ridiculously good. I'd put it up against any version from the 80's or 90's.

Really cool Drums > Space segment. Certainly worth a listen. Drums includes Ollin Arageed and the Space has some outstanding Jerry noodling.
