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

2 sources, neither great, but get the MacDonald SBD b/c it's so worth hearing this truly excellent version, which is a harbinger of the wealth of phenomenal renditions that would come in '77, and if there were a grade A SBD available of this one we'd all be singing it's praises already. By late '76 the band was finding the confidence to play a little faster than at the beginning of the year (great as June and July shows were they were still a little slow) and thhis one has that great combo of liquid flow off Garcia's fingers and a great chugging rhythm jam backing it all up. Wish there was a better recording but please don't let that stop you. I'm upping this in spite of the lack of A plus sound quality.

Too fast for my liking. Decent jam after 2d verse but there's about a 15 second intro before Jer starts singing the opening lyric and that's a deal breaker for me. Can't upvote. This song didn't return to glory until they slowed it back down in 1990. (This show overall, however, and the box set, is terrific).

Ha! I remember US Snooze on set lists cuz Jer mumbled his way thru mostly lame mid 80s ones

Good, solid version and an underrated year for this song, although every version this year was a dress rehearsal for '77, peaking with 5/9/77

Dude420 has this right...I've yet to hear a '77 version that has as much in common with a classic, mellow, flowing 1973 as this one does. It's most evident in the sweet sweet intro. The whole version has that liquidy feel of the debut year for this song. The instrumental break before the last verse has the closest thing to a hard jam you'll hear and it's pretty hot but overall this is not a version that tears things up, rather it's just a gorgeous and musically confident journey that ends with a solo Phil romp and deserves some more love. While I do feel this show is a bit overrated overall (the Terrapin especially, a travesty that it's listed as best ever), this EYES does not disappoint.
