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.

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
