'73 was a special year for He's Gone. Could Keith play any sweeter than on this version? I think not.

Man did I ever love Sugar Mag sandwich 2nd sets. It always signalled a dance marathon ahead. Add in my favorite Brent transition ever to Scarlet.

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!

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