Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Wow!!! Gorgeous!!!! May not share quite the same urgency of 11/4/77 and 10/29/77... but has its own urgent beauty!!!

Interesting and cool 3-way tie for tenth best Eyes here! Still say this is the most powerful, but the other 2 (10/29/77, 5/22/77) are amazing as well. 10/29 will probably pull ahead, has a few more votes since Dave's 33 release (Deservedly! It's absurdly wild!) but this Eyes (Dave's 12, 11/4/77) is still the go to, all time favorite for some of us. Last few minutes are so ridiculous!!! Listen to all 3 again and again and enjoy!!!

Like everything that did not make the cut to DP 3, this shoulda made the cut. And yet, DP 3 is still one of the greatest albums of all time. Again, go figure.....
