The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

This version is sitting undeservingly low. It’s of the best from the 80s, no question!

Blazing hot.
Estimated Prophet

Greek Theater

There are many great Estimated’s from the period, and this one is no exception.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

This one really swings. ‘81 is not known for all-timer versions of Eyes, but this one is overall the best of the year. Check out 3/21 & 11/30 for two other strong readings.
