Very strong entry w/no lyrical mistakes & Jerry in fine voice, esp. for the year. Crystal clean sound from '90 spring box set shows how good this is!

This melts like a dream from a weirdly underrated Dark Star & is sung beautifully by Jerry & played sweetly by all. Give a listen!

Ok technically it's Help>Slipknot>Fire but c'mon that's pretty cool & even w/out the novelty of the change-up it's a sweet version

Phil: "Remember, if you step up too close We'll HAVE TO STOP PLAYING. Weir: I would remind you all that Halloween is not a legal holiday"

There's a Betty Board of this one available. And it's gorgeous. What's stopping you?

^^^^True the dissonance toward the end here isn’t all that long & given how it crashes into Smag it really is more of as you describe it a tension build up ... I think 4/8/72 has a similar segue & that one’s pretty great too although this one to me goes more places & has a bit more mellow beauty than 4/8...it’s just that even before we get to the feedback-segue I’m sold on everything that’s come to that point. What a spectacular piece of music!

Head over heels gaga for this amazing version, which has easily found its way into my top 5 all time. Gorgeous jazz interplay throughout & musical oceans are crossed before the verse is sung (beautifully) by Jerry. One of my favorite moments is the quiet, contemplative section that floats in suspended animation before we hear a tease for the main theme but just when you think they’re going to start the lyric Jerry takes us back into more of that dreamy float-space to discover more musical signposts of magic. Stunning DS, & yeah, I can do without the last 3-4 minutes of feedback dissonance that was requisite for the year but I don’t even count that as part of this version (& easy enough to excise if you have some music editing software). But for nearly half an hour this is one of the most spellbinding pieces of music the band has ever produced. Emphatic plus one here & i have this one on par with the other all time greats! (Also need to add that the speedy FG jam before the feedback section is as coool and innovative as the bluegrass acid jam version from 9-21-72 Spectrum)

Keith sounds lovely on this version esp. with the official release sound. This show overall really doesn’t stand out to me & i would rate this DaP pretty low on the ladder of officially released shows but this version of HG is def. worthy of upvote.

sorry, folks--but if we're being truly honest & objective here this is a complete embarrassment & damn near un-listenable. The :harmonies" by all involved are enough to make singers the world over weep & jump off a building. This song is not terrible as a song (the only real decent version is from the studio album) but performed live it is a train wreck piled onto a dumpster fire. We all love this band but truth be told they sometimes performed stuff live that was simply out of their vocal range abilities & this is an unfortunate example. (another would be Bobby trying to hit the high notes in "Blackbird" from that show in 1988--fortunately he never tried it again). I know we WANT everything they do to be magical, but this is a crime against ears ..., it just is.

No such thing as a poor Eyes from ‘73 & this one’s noticeably mellower than the night before, but neither to my ears are leaps and bounds above other versions from earlier in the year. Not much intro jamming before first verse and while it’s sweet stuff in between the following verses the jams are also pretty short, as they save the bulk of the jamming for the outro section. Prefer versions like 6/10/73 where Jerry does more exploring before we get to the outro portion.
