Hot damn can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet! Too much for words, just listen - this is the hottest of 1974 and one of the best ever!!!

Simply the best Cryptical Envelopment reprise ever. They take this one to Andromeda and back.

probably the tightest execution of the "Stronger than Dirt" yet in this early version.

The jam out of Dark Star and into this Eyes is legendary...some of the most beautiful stuff they EVER did! Not to mention Jerry and Keith are playing off each other really great for this only being the 2nd-ever performance.

I prefer the 20th and the 18th for June Eyes, but there was probably never a run better than these. Really unique stuff going on with the funky segue into Big River.
