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.

Get the Matrix. Crowd is very involved for those lightning flashes.

A strong version for ‘81. I think 9/12 (along w/ 3/21 & 11/30) are the best of the year. I really love 1981, but Eyes was played better in other years imho. Still, these versions are highly enjoyable.

I’ve always had an affinity for this song. Wish they had played it more than once.

Jerry is playing like a maddened demon on this one. Off the chain goodness!
