Lucky enough to be at this show. Candyman blew everyone away--best song played that night. Awesome trippy guitar jam &Jer belts out vocals

Gorgeous, incredible, up and down, carnival-like bridge jam by Jerry. Picture perfect version--no flaws

April '78 S>F's often mentioned are 4/16 and 4/24 (rightly so) but this one is every bit as good. Superior transition jam--, beautiful, & powerful

Starts out Jazzy, explorative, takes its time, 3 minute intro, then blasts off into the stratosphere with intense Garcia-led jamming

New convert to this version, which I'm proud to have just bumped into the "20s" for votes and hope it goes much higher. I think the reason I never really noticed it before is that 1973 is just too chock full of great versions wherever you look. There is no "poor" '73 Eyes. But this version has a couple of things going for it that set it a bit apart from the others. 1)The jam breaks between the first two verses are a little more stretched out and lengthier than others and Garcia is just pouring liquid through his fingers in the process. In a year known for jazzy Eyes this is as jazzy as it gets. The second jam break in particular shines in a way many others this year don't and reaches some great peaks and even a brief Keith moment of fills before Jerry takes over again and 2) the post-lyrics jam is really special...confident and expressive and drops seamlessly into the Stronger Than Dirt section in a way that some others of this year don't (if there is any flaw in the '73 versions it's in the early part of the year when they don't really have that part of the jam worked out yet and the Stronger Than Dirt sections suffer from some tentativeness and clunkiness. Not here. As also noted, a bluesy jam emerges and then dips into Stella and at nearly 22 minutes long this Eyes is a candidate for best of 1973, and that's saying an awful lot for a year in which this song has such a strong showing.

Best of '74 right here. Bookends an incredible run-jam started by Truckin'. Super fast and furious but well controlled version.

Why oh why am I only hearing this now? Absolutely stellar Birdsong from the year in which this song was consistently played better than any other. Excellent Miller SBD to hear and just a spectacular find. Hear it, love it, bump it up, please.

Very well played Help>Slip, and a great intro to Franklin's. Jerry does some interesting work in the FRanklin's outro jam after the last verse. Not crazy about the rest of the Franklin's, however. Jerry blows a bunch of lyrics, doesn't really do much with his solos, and the rest of the band provides little color or adventure in the meat of the Franklin's either. On the fence about an up-vote here, but it's easily one of the better post-Brent versions, but there are so many other versions from other eras that excite more as a whole. Worth checking out at least for the first two sections.

Really impressed with this. Great Bruce contributions on accordion and Vince is filling nicely too. Jer hits all the right vocal intonations and nails the lyrics. Best post-Brenr version by far. Has me ready to listen to the rest of the show.
