Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Get the Matrix. Crowd is very involved for those lightning flashes.

This meat is sweet and savory.

A strong version for ‘81. I think 9/12 (along w/ 3/21 & 11/30) are the best of the year. I really love 1981, but Eyes was played better in other years imho. Still, these versions are highly enjoyable.

I’ve always had an affinity for this song. Wish they had played it more than once.

Jerry is playing like a maddened demon on this one. Off the chain goodness!
