The best version of Eyes of the World ever. If you never "got" the Greatful Dead, this will do it. It's well worth the 16+ minutes.

March 29, 1990. Nassau Coliseum. Uniondale, NY. With guest Branford Marsalis.

Lyrics
Right outside this lazy summer home
You ain't got time to call your soul a critic no
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home
Wondering where the nut-thatch winters
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own

There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away
And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay
And night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own

A gorgeous half hour of Grateful Dead: Help on the Way/Slipknot!/Franklin's Tower from Winterland, 6/9/77. It rolls, gathers, coils, explodes. Jerry and his bandmates hit all the right notes and explore each passageway in the three numbers -- especially that Slipknot! A perfect soundtrack for a 1/2 hour car trip, as long as you're on a flat highway and you can pay attention to the music.

6-9-77 Winterland. I remember listening to that. I have it on cassette from my days of tape trading. Cassettes #616 and 617.

From my tape list:

A SB 6-9-77 12 180 Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA (2 A-SB 617)
616 1/2 Step, Jack Straw, TLEO, Cassidy, Sunrise, Deal / Looks Like Rain, Loser, Music II Samson
617 Feniculi Fenicula, Help> Slip> Franklin's, Estimated> Saint Stephen / Saint Stephen> NFA> D>S> Saint Stephen> Terrapin> Sugar Magnolia, U.S. Blues, Sat. Night

I don't have that as a Dicks or Dave's Picks or any of the downloads. Is that an old tape you have or did I miss buying it?

1977 was a very special year!

Complete with Finiculi Finicula, after which Bobby pronounces things just exactly perfect. He likes to say that once they get their electronics right.

The whole concert is also listed. Starting with 1/2 Step. Sound quality is very good. ZVery likely better than the old cassettes I have.

There is so much stuff out there just for recording it's amazing. I'm tempted to play it on my tablet connected to my notebook's Audio-in jack to mane it an AAC.

This all got me looking at archive.org again. Sam Boyd Arena, 5/31-92 Morning Dew is amazing. I think that Steve Miller dropped in on that show. You can hear his familiar licks in Morning Dew. https://archive.org/details/gd92-05-31.sbd.paino.544.sbefail.shnf/gd92-05-31d3t304.shn

Looking at this early clip of U2 you would never know they would go on to become one of the most successful bands in the world.



It's utter drivel but they persevered and and become successful.
 
Ugh, that is awful, but Boy was just 2 years later, and in 3 more years,

It is shockingly stripped down, but I think it is good. Lo-Fi music like this has its place.

Another thing is that starting simple and solid is the way to go. They played that nursery rhyme level song with full confidence. Haha.

It would be interesting to have a contest of making a song that limited in notes and instrumental effects like pedals and presets.

It came out in 2009 as the box set Winterland June 1977, with all 3 concerts. Really nice cartoon art of the band plus a Sgt. Pepper-like cartoon collage of artists who influenced them. After I knew all 3 concerts, but especially the Help medley from the third night, I picked up a second copy of the box so I would never be out that stunning half hour due to a scratch on the disc, or having someone rip it off. It's one of their peak moments onstage, I think. They could do no wrong.

I'm surprised I didn't pick it up. '77 is such a great year for the Dead and I didn't think that I had passed any of them up. I suppose I should check my CD's and make sure that I didn't miss putting it into iTunes. I hardly ever actually touch CD's any more once putting them into the computer.
