Hot one!! Brent lays down some nice stuff, Bobby’s slide is… a thing. Then Garcia puts in some work!

Weir insists it’s time for another cowboy song. “This one rose straight to the top of the charts, of course we didn’t do it” great, consistent one

Donna lets out the most insane scream I’ve ever heard and the crowd goes wild lol. Fun one with harmonica action

One of those “surprised not to see this here” moments. A short, less soaring one than many this period, but fun nonetheless

Instead of taking you on the usual, mindboggling journey upon wings of a young dove taking her first solo flight, this one places you on the seat of a mighty stallion, riding alongside a roaring freight train to reach the beachside town of a familiar, yet new lover, Eyes of the World, where you go on to have a night that will change both of your lives and bring you together for as long as you shall live.

Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE Houston. But this is one is just that much sharper to put it over the line for me. Jerry just won’t fucking quit. And I do think ‘72 is the definitive year for this tune. Great stuff. I can’t believe I didn’t appreciate this song earlier as much as I do now.
