I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

The Drums is fine/good, but this one is great to cleary hear some spunion shout "holy fucking, SHIT!" on the SBD. Someone's mind = blown... Priceless

Giants Stadium

Very inspired playing. Jazzy swing from the rhythm devils, Lesh is barreling down the low end, and Jerry dancing the leads to a powerful conclusion

A truly clean and wonderful version. Smooth and certainly worthy of a spin

Dream Bowl

Absolutely hypnotic and mesmerizing. Meditative version

St. Louis Arena

Definitely a more laid back, gentle though bouncy rendition. Very nice
Eyes Of The World

Selland Arena

If it ever feels like nothing is going right in the world, this version is a beacon of light to the contrary. Full band participation, but Phil, Billy, and Keith really holds this one down and bring it to the next echelon. Lovely and have respun several times this week alone

St. Louis Arena

Not usually my track, but this one flows beautifully and the rhythm devils are pushing this one alone. Heady and worth a spin
