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

An A1 performance that just improves with repeated listenings.

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.)

Stanley Theatre

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

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.

Meaty.
Turn On Your Love Light

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