This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Eyes Of The World

Cal Expo

I was hoping to see this Eyes up here. Such a great flow throughout the song all of the solos are real fluent and Jerry finds excellent hooks along the way. This one is excellent listen in.

They took a break to get their heads together before this one. And it worked. Phil drops a monster bomb following the vocal jam, that seems to feed the manic ending into a killer NFA.

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Creativity abounds on this multi-faceted 01. Jammy and thoughtful it's so good!

Best 70s version for sure - Brent's vocals are all over it!
