I know, I know you can't pick Ithica for everything, but this is one of the best versions ever.

Eyes Of The World
June 10, 1990
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.

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