So glad this tune made the cut for acoustic rotation and new release is fantastic. Great tension build in the jam

Super crisp song portion and tension/release jam segment. Very worthy

Jerry is crazy nimble in this. Fresh from a 30 days of dead release - a choice cut

Show starts out a bit rough - tech issues, energy, song selection. Boys seem to come alive here, with some nice Jerry leads and Keith fills

Extremely intentional and well-paced playing. Jerry's vocals are perfect

^Grendel's comment (per usual) nailed it. I love the loose, flowing '76 versions of Eyes and this one is a perfect example. Beautiful and airy

I was very surprised to see the mix in reception for this classic version. Recently respun, twice, and this still holds up fantastically. Super tight Help, explorative Split with some great team jamming, and a triumphant Frank's. Not sure what more you can ask for. This one always has a well-deserved place in my heart.

God, I wish they kept this in rotation... The communication between Jerry's riffs and Pig's raps are insanely good. This track rips

This is absolutely mesmerizing. The crowning jewel in an all-timer show. The connectivity with the band, the ramp up peak, then quieter jamming is so creative and precise. To me, this is infinitely better than any of the disco-laced '77 and beyond versions, which are great no doubt, but are this is in a whole other league of awesome
