Madison Square Garden

A big version. Listen as the baton gets passed without missing a beat.

Big River

Madison Square Garden

An A1 performance that just improves with repeated listenings.

They Love Each Other
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A bull's ass in fly season and the boys on this one are both TIGHT!!! (Although tight might not be the correct word for an awesome TLEO.)

Brokedown Palace
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

While not without imperfection, this version gets at that misty quality central to the ethos of the tune.

A thin slice of sublime cheese in an earwateringly delicious sandwich: EP>Eyes>Playin'>Wheel>Playin' Reprise.

Eyes Of The World
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

One of the all-time great 'EP'>'Eyes' transitions. Tablet double-post.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

As far as Jerry's soloing in between the verses goes (--on the merit of that and the intro is what methinks makes or breaks a great Eyes--), that featured here, sure as cramps after disagreeable food, is good.
Scarlet Begonias

Capital Centre

Grossly underrated (6 votes? C'mon!).
Estimated Prophet
March 16, 1990
Capital Centre

Meaty.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Like good poetry, quickly and efficiently says and does a lot. Hot show.
