Blissful, otherworldly, mellow (but intense) transition...why wasn't this on the Dick's Picks?!?!

constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

This is actually 12/18/73. But good version none the less.

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Easily one of the best of the '80s. How is this not more well known!?

Indeed this is underrated. Fantastic version.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is a good one. Feb '73 Eyes have a unique vibe since they are still working out the ending.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This is possibly the highest energy version you'll ever hear, moving at Warp 10 (at least) with some MONSTER Garcia shred-age and huge power chords. Stunning.
