Jerry trying to untie one of his "knots" really tears into this version.

One of my favorite versions. When they open with a Bertha like this, you know you're in for a hell of a ride.

It's sooo cliche, the "I can't believe this version isn't represented" but it truly applies here. Incendiary LIG from an amazing show.

I like the idea of this "version" being used as sort of a site message board. Just too bad it's full of strife right now. I can see both sides of the issue....they each have some merit. BUT neither are worth destroying the harmony of this great site. What's done is done - no amount of explanation or bickering is gonna change that. Can we can just move forward now (maybe with a new perspective on each other's viewpoints) and let the music play? I have 2 cool things to share. Maybe they're old hat to some of you folks but they're fairly new to me. One is the Chrome extension called Grateful Grabber (look it up) and the other is that you can listen to gapless shows on relisten.net. Haven't been able to get it to work with Chrome but it works great in Firefox. Imagine listening to Scarlet>Fire or China>Rider in all their glory without that gap right at the transition. IT IS AWESOME!

WOW! I came for the Woman (which is as awesome as advertised) but I stayed for the music. The whole damn show is HOT! Give it a go. From start to finish, this buried gem will put a smile on your face fer sure

Fast, fluid Eyes. As I listen to this it brings to mind that scene from Reefer Madness where the guy who's on the psychotic reefer high keeps telling the piano player to play Faster.....Faster. Every time this version seems like it's going to run off the rails, Jerry holds true and doubles down.

Awesome intro jam. Needs more love - This Eyes is a thing of beauty, One of many standouts from this hot night in New Haven.

How can you not love an EYes that stretches out to almost 24 minutes? Big thumbs up here.
