Madison Square Garden

A big version. Listen as the baton gets passed without missing a beat.

Madison Square Garden

An A1 performance that just improves with repeated listenings.

They Love Each Other

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A bull's ass in fly season and the boys on this one are both TIGHT!!! (Although tight might not be the correct word for an awesome TLEO.)

Stanley Theatre

While not without imperfection, this version gets at that misty quality central to the ethos of the tune.

A thin slice of sublime cheese in an earwateringly delicious sandwich: EP>Eyes>Playin'>Wheel>Playin' Reprise.

Eyes Of The World
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

A kickass version but it can only ever be tied for best--there are just too many great Eyes out there.
Estimated Prophet
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Nice tempo (just barely fast) and Jerry's final solo is quite expressive (although it seems cut short prematurely).
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Phenomenal.
Dark Star
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Very, very satisfying. Sublime is the word. Into a great Eyes.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Perhaps the all-time best venue for this tune.
