Keith is fantastic throughout - gives this version the same vibe as some of Garcia/Saunders explorations during the same time period. Fun listen. #50

Sure there’s a couple lyric flubs, but Jerry delivers in a slight trippy fashion during this loping version. Love it

Proudly submit this version. That Dusborne matrix gives this superb depth of sound. Brent’s Hammond solo is lively and strong, and Jerry’s lightning.

Surprised this one hasn’t been submitted already. Raucous version with Brent getting weirdly psychedelic for his calypso-like solo

The mix is very good with lots of Phil and great separation on the UltraMatrix. Great opener and worthy an upvote IMO.
Eyes Of The World

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Almost pastoral feel to this take, nice solo breaks from Jer and pretty textures and backdrop by Vince; super rhythmic with Mickey heavy on percussion. Solid ‘93 Eyes.

Strong version, Jerry shines on the melodic solo.

Sure this gets lost in the shuffle of what turned out to be an amazing year for this tune, but this version deserves more praise. The entire show does, to be honest. Brilliant example of the picture perfect tempo for ‘Eyes!’

I’m sad to see this version so unknown or ignored!?!? Jerry must’ve been hanging out with some of the old Bakersfield sound boys because he adopts that style so smoothly even though I don’t ever remember him doing so many other times. Really got the blood pumpin.’
