Eyes Of The World

Capitol Theatre

There's a beautiful 16mm video of this on YouTube -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf1dNTexCL4. Some absolutely beautiful runs by Jerry here

Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1968
Fillmore East

Not the best sound quality, but the quality shines through. Deserves a listing. Jerry and Bill K. on top form

Me and My Uncle
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

This needs more votes. It's confident, solid, well-delivered, and bouncy as hell.

Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

Dynamic. Not the best, perhaps, but a 25-minute version from DP16 that's definitely worth listing.

Caution
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

An absolute monster. From 'Dick's Picks Vol. 22'. The way Pigpen's vocals are recorded, weaving in and out of the rhythm tracks, is truly haunting.

Sugaree
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

My first 'Sugaree', and an almost impossibly beautiful one. It's arguably the most melodic (quantitatively and qualitatively) that Jerry has ever been in a single song.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Keith is so wonderful on this, and Jerry took me places I'd never been before. And such a beautiful segue, too. I *wish* they'd release the whole damn concert officially.
Eyes Of The World
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

This is my first comment on the site! :) This was my first 'Eyes', and I am eternally grateful for the Watkins Glen SBD. Something about the aural quality of the guitar gets me every time. 28 July '73 was a great, great day.
