This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World

Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

Who doesn't love Bruce Hornsby? This version is clean and played with enthusiasm. This is the set 2 opener and there's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeqN1fRWjGA

I value your judgment. And I love the song too. I might make listening to the 77 half steps my next project - I know some, but not all - and I know that 10/7 is not on the archive. We'll have to talk.

Well, darkstar, I certainly hold your dead thoughts in high esteem. Indeed, you've shown me some half steps - most recently that 9/1/79 one. I'm surprised that you - and many others - don't like this version. To be honest, I hear 11/6 as a sloppier version than 11/5 and I hear a less faithful source. The guys who used to run the now defunct dead clubhouse site used to talk about the bias that comes with the first version that one gets into. 9/3/77 was the first one for me, but when I heard this one that changed. At any rate, to each his own, my friend.
