Jerry's solo to close this one out is hard-driving and aggressive.

This particular version of this particular universe doesn't have a better one than this.

Well worth a listen. Sloppy and tight all at once.

Unique and essential on the merits of the extended intro.

Great version, for sure.

I voted for this one because of the outro portion(s)--I love what Phil does here. Spring/Summer '74 Eyes really seem to showcase Phil.

Jerry's solo after the first verse is silky smooth and sweet. Nearing the end of the 'Stronger than Dirt' sequence (with just over two minutes left in the tune) Jerry has a beautiful burst of inspiration. It is well worth the sixteen minutes to check this one out. Incidentally, I believe this is the last show from their legendary Winter/Spring '73 tour and, as another reviewer on these pages states, their first at Boston Garden.

Great playing on this one--gets a little of that gooey '89/'90 thing going. Check it out!!!
