Exactly what I look for in an Eyes. As good as they come.

Ecstatic, exhuberent, exciting. Great end to a great set.

Starts like a rocket, lands on Mars bigtime, then light-speed re-entry to a killer Eyes in under 10 minutes after a balls-out Truckin. Great set.

Massive Phil and Jerry co-soloing in a supersonic mindmeld for 19 minutes. Very special with a raw, almost brutish energy.

This starts so calm and sane and soulful, then does that ramping-up thing and becomes a manic hurtling 18-wheeler. '72 may be the best year for BTW and this one is right up there with 'em.

Admit it Glyn... that was you yelling all over the end of this, wasn't it? ;^)

The Dead invented hard rock. There it is. This is when they were at their most dangerous, their most 'hide the kids' threatening to the squares. This version shoots you out of the cannon and blows you to a million pieces, before landing back safely at the beautiful Cryptical to follow: Jagged and heavy peaks, scary circles within circles and loops and fractal roller coasters where you're either on the bus or under it. Those who know don't always say, and those who say don't always know....

Swagger and strut. Bobby just owns the vocals, plus what's been said here already about Keith, who's just brilliant throughout this underrated show.
