Incredible jazzy transition into Supplication

He's Gone

Winterland Arena

I'm not a huge fan of this song after 74, but this version is just exactly perfect. Gave me chills!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1977
Winterland Arena

I'm surprised this one isn't listed yet. Although the Fire is only average, this Scarlet is one of the best unsung versions ever.

Swing Auditorium

If you dig 11-6-77, you'll love this. One of the highest-octane versions ever performed. Insanity.

^ What he said. Some of the best Eyes soloing around...a top version of '73 without a doubt!

This one really grew on me...one of the better versions of '74 for sure

Definitly agree! The China>Rider, Playing, Here Comes Sunshine, and the whole 2nd set from He's Gone thru Morning Dew are superb.

This version is speedy, jazzy, and very tasty. Not quite the legend of 5/26 but definitely one of the best of '73.

the "Orange Tango" jam has a really cool middle-eastern(?) type flavor and definitely makes this version for me.
