Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

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.....
