Madison Square Garden

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

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.

Is the solo on the album the full thing? Regardless, it's very nice, in that intricate, early-'Tiger' way.

Boston Garden

Definitely a really good one.
Dark Star
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

There were 7 'Dark Star's in '74.
Uncle John's Band
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Just cause something is barely noticed by the radar doesn't mean it is optimal to not check it out.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Currently sits in the top 10 for '73 Eyes and, despite the sense of discovery and energy that Eyes often offered in this year, I'd say is about right. February '73 was a great month for Eyes.
