Eyes Of The World
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium
One of my all-time favorites. This thing comes out of a very good 'EP' (for just the second time ever, I believe). The intro portion is gorgeous. Jerry just brimming with ideas. His tone is Siren-like. Jerry's solo after the first verse is so expressive and coherent that it is nothing short of a narrative. His second solo is very good, too. After the final verse, the song then disintegrates into a delicate, shimmering pile of crystal chimes as it transitions into ‘Wharf Rat’. This could be the most underrated ‘Eyes’ on these pages.
