consonantly epic woodshedding on Bird at a special spot, swimming through time.

Good lush midi cassidy into this speedmeister jaunty shuffler. Bruce and weir aim high. Inspired smooth flow. Propulsive coda. Zoo wee mama!

Another gorgeous headlong peggy for caves and knolls, formidable 90's new age orb head textures. Rosebud arpeggiation takes off gloriously in solos.

crystalline gossamer magic. Heartbreaking, tender version.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

Fantastic version. Makes you wonder how quickly Vince could have developed his own voice which he eventually did by somewhere in 93-94, if he didn't have to jockey with Bruce. Oceanic, meditative, tight, playful, kind version.
Jack Straw

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

another fantastic version - Lightning Bolt working that crispy trebly tone, phil/devils off the leash.

powerful screaming version. Bob cuts the big man off while he's rolling
He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

great call, this seems like a major version- 77 is of course the heyday of slow he's gone and this one passes with honors. Betty board is translucent honey. This version is a fearful beggar experiencing disregulation of identity- devils find the spot in the downbeat completely free of anticipation, Phil 'n' Bob jigsaws aligning. Great coda and sprawling dark jam to follow.
