This is worth 18 minutes of your life.

Perhaps its uniqueness prevents it from EPIC status but listen to how obtuse this thing is.

Something for everyone here: lush aural quiltwork, bass solo, and a 'Feelin' Groovy' segment which is followed by tight abstractions

Laid-back yet rich and full. Well worth a listen!!!

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!

Yeah, man, I've come to respect this one a lot more. With each additional listen this thing keeps revealing little secrets

There are still some municipalities that have blue laws which forbid this version from being played upwind of main street.

Union Jack and the Giant—this thing is HUGE! A 5+ minute intro in ’74? And with some nice (brief) leads on the Fender Rhodes? C’mon! Jerry’s first lead is sweet—just when you (and the band) think he’ll start playing the chords to go back into the verse he gets some more great ideas and keeps going (and not just once either). And then during Phil’s solo (which is particularly melodic and similar to the studio version) it’s obvious that Jerry is having a ball. It seems to me that during the outro material (‘Stronger than Dirt, etc.) there was the feeling that anything could happen, and while it may not be the cleanest execution I’ve ever heard, it is interesting as hell with the boys almost playing gotcha with each other. It all comes to an end when Ned unleashes an alien insect attack. It then goes into a jam that itself has some good moments. Check out the ‘Cassidy’ chords just before it goes into ‘Wharf Rat’. Just out of curiosity, what is the longest ever pre-verse Eyes intro jam? (This could certainly be the longest pre-‘retirement’/touring hiatus). I suspect this Eyes isn’t higher because it hasn’t been heard as much. Also, this is the first version played in the olde world.

If this thing were a basketball player, it would come off the bench and give valuable minutes scoring, rebounding,and protecting the ball, all the while giving the starters a necessary rest.

Okay, I see now that this show isn't in the vault. (http://agitators.com/gd/dick_1973.html) The source is a bit old but could still be accurate.
