Billy and Mickey play together like they were a big octopus on this one. 'The Wheel' comes rolling nicely out of 'Space'. Altogether, a G-rated D>P.

An '82 vintage Playin' sandwich that finds the boys playin' in fine form. DP 32.

Jerry really belts this one out. All of the attention to detail that you'd expect in a version from this era plus a good bridge solo.

An enjoyable listen, but most notable, I'd say, for an excellent little peak that rises up like a volcano towards the end of the jam.

A good, light and airy version that shows quite well what this song was up to near the end of its first year in the rotation.

Never heard this one played like this. Yeah, in that last verse it's like their massaging the song--super stuff!

Very nice. DP 19.
Eyes Of The World

The Sportatorium

One of my all-time favorites. This thing comes out of a very good 'EP' (for just the second time ever, I believe). The intro portion is gorgeous. Jerry just brimming with ideas. His tone is Siren-like. Jerry's solo after the first verse is so expressive and coherent that it is nothing short of a narrative. His second solo is very good, too. After the final verse, the song then disintegrates into a delicate, shimmering pile of crystal chimes as it transitions into ‘Wharf Rat’. This could be the most underrated ‘Eyes’ on these pages.

Keith and Jerry make this thing happen. Keith was ON this night!

Awesome stuff!!! Beautiful segue out of DS, with plenty of dramatic nuance, like all big-time Dews from '72-'74. In particular, this Dew features some of Jerry's most poignant soloing on this tune from this ('72-'74) era.
