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.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Should also say that this has, along with 9/11/74, one of the best preseventyfive intros out there.
Estimated Prophet
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

5/7/77 was the first time that Eyes directly followed Estimated (from what I can tell), but there was no segue--Estimated ended and from 'dead air' we get Eyes. Cool to know this Boston show (in the 'hockey rink'--Phil) was the first Estimated, Eyes--I hadn't known that until your post prompted me to go back and double check.
Loose Lucy
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Nice call! A tight version that socks a good punch! Jerry's solo is brief but well-developed.
Cassidy
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Nice one. Marshmallowy smooth like a big Cadillac. The jam towards the end is succinct but interesting.
Black Peter
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

A nice Bird Song, Cumberland, Truckin' and PITB in this show, too. Oh yeah, and it's '72 so TOO ain't half bad, either.
