Out of tune and a bit of mess, but it's time this tune joins the list on the 50th anniversary of a masterpiece of a night!

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 29, 1977
Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

I'll buy that for a dollar! But howzabout the best Eyes-Estimated?? The first one ever was a few nights later, 11/4/77 and it is smoking hot ridiculousness, out of an incredible Playin.' Like this one, 11/4 is a scorching, blistering, raging beauty. Eyes-Estimated was a lot less frequent, but always a fun surprise! Also agree, both these Eyes are greater than the Englishtown version, and that doesn't take away at all from the greatness of Englishtown! Because these two are that good. They stand up very well to the best of 73-74.

All nice calls re Miles and Sly and the Dirty Harry sound. But.... Maybe I'm crazy but.... Somewhere past 12 minutes, there is a very off-kilter Shakedown jam shaping up. In 1974.
