Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

mega fabulous version with Jerry vocal fanning, very good and pleasant fall 73 vibe, with mighty backing force
Eyes Of The World

Kezar Stadium

Yes, yes, yes, times a million. Has that breezy, effortless quality in spades. Basically every time they play Eyes it's going to be amazing because I just love this tune, I'm obsessed with it. But even so, this is still a particularly fire version and maybe the highlight from a good show all around
