Eyes Of The World
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Finally pulled the trigger on this beauty on vinyl and My. God. It's been a while since I heard this version and floored just like the first time. The band is so tight, Jerry so nimble, and Chill Lesh so thick on the bassline. Crisp, melodic, and sublime.
Blow Away

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I’m shocked no one commented on the disgusting Keith/Brent/Pig three-way dueling pianos solos into vocal raps for each. Not quite Cornell quality version, but HEADY all the same.

Capital Centre

Pulsing jam with great full band interplay that for me, is far superior to the oft lauded version just a few days later in tour. Everyone dialed in to create unified voice
He's Gone

Copps Coliseum

God, this one is straight gorgeous. Patient, with excellent Jerry and Brent.

Deep, thick groove in this one. Brent/Jerry joint MVPs.
