Almost a prayer. Stripped down, pure, harmonized and beautiful. Fans of the acoustic Candyman shouldn't pass this one by.

Sweet and solid show opener. A pure expression of the peak '70 year sound. Strap in and enjoy the show....

Yeehaw, but that's a sweet rare tune. Put Sawmill next to Slewfoot for gems from the era. Awesome stuff.

An acoustic lovely. I think DG is there on backup. It's rough-hewn, like just a couple offriends jamming on the verge of the bad crazy 1970s.

Acoustic wow factor, with beautiful harmonies. Unfortunate gap towards the end, but worth it still.

Weather Report Suite

Beautiful transition out of an epic Eyes, keeping up the mellow vibe of the whole show: Take-yer-time, we'll get there...
Eyes Of The World

Kiel Auditorium

This whole show has a nice take-our-time vibe. They build up slow and steady, but get there in the end, making this another top-shelf '73 Eyes.
Here Comes Sunshine

Kiel Auditorium

Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."
Eyes Of The World

Kiel Auditorium

Truly one of the most amazing examples of the GD's brilliance ever. I love this version. No secret that '73 Eyes are soaring glories (wings a mile long...) but this one stands out for its crisp precision and the absolutely freakingly shredding jam after the interlude leading straight into China Doll. Leaves me breathless.

Beautiful spaced out jazz. Sounds for a second like Jer wanted to go into Stella right before Drums.
