I went to a Dead and Company show. Travelled from Brazil to attend two nights at Citi Field last week. My life, as expected, has forever changed. Deadhead in my deepest core!
Best song ever when you're really high. The kind of high where you are happy with where you are in life and you're nice and stoned listening to the grateful dead.
Spot on man. I had an out of body experience during Eyes in Oakland Coliseum 1992. Pure magic. They had this round projection screen hanging over center stage with slow motion video of lovely hippie fam dancing to the music and I can say in all honesty it was the most profoundly beautiful moment I've had in my life.
The Dead blended psychedelic rock jazz and folk so well that they just were such a legendary band throughout history. Jerry was a genius guitarist and such a poetic visionary of his time.
WOW ...yes, but then , I think all the 70 s were great, and even into the 80s ..90s...I just think they really lost something special when Brent was no longer around...
Try visiting a regional burn (similar to burning man, though often not in a desert) I think you'll find the culture and freedoms are alike in many ways.
Im an older dude now, but I grew up in the San Fran bay area during the '60s and moved to the mountains in '77, and my whole youth was immersed in a magical time. The counter culture, the beach, and this music! The stars were aligned in a special way back then and there. A concert ticket was $3.50., I pumped gas at 26 cents a gallon, and a jug of Dead Mountain Red was $1.50! HA! And the ladies OMG! .just lucky that's all.
Recently new dead head here. I have to say they all blow me away! Today was the first time I have ever heard this song. This song is amazing!!! I’ve Ben listening to it all night . I can only imagine what it was like seeing them live!
My olman was a deadhead he turned me and I lost him to cancer I couldn't even listen to then for a Long time it's nice to listen to then now and get that good feeling my kids and grandkids listen to then they're timeless
Row Jimmy, Loose Lucy, Here Comes Sunshine, They Love Each Other, Eyes of the World, China Doll & Wave That Flag (an early version of US Blues) all made their debuts on this fine evening... coincidentally it was also the debut of a new sound system, later to be dubbed "The Wall of Sound"... one of the very best shows you'll find...

Wherever Jerry is, he's bound to be feeling fine, that windblown grin just just oozes the triumphal "Damn we're still getting away with this!" Outlook. This mix is superb, Jerry sounds clear crisp & fully charged... his voice is mixed ideally right in the center & his delivery has clarity & Nuance, as appropriate. At the end Phil pulls Jerry back into the Eyes groove, then Jerry sticks it right back by taking HIS sweet time finishing his last round of solos. This track is a very fine iteration of this jewel. Too many versions are mixed in mud or the vocals leave Jerry sounding like he's grasping a whisper. Not here, Jerry is in fine form in voice & guitar. Gracias!
The first time, I saw them as the Warlocks. My last time was at Shoreline, Jerry's last California concert. Alpha/Omega. It truly was a bizarre day. Thanks to Tiffany and Robert. Tri-Bolbus
Anytime I need a spiritual or emotional lift? I listen to this track. Never fails to turn that frown right side up and into a grin. That's why I LOVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD.
Eyes… my happy place- love that learning it on guitar was an almost endless wealth of knowledge on how an E major 7th (EM7) can be played… as well as many other marvelous lessons. Thank you for sharing.
Are you kidding, i been to there concerts back then. Electric Kool Aid was floating around, take a sip and pass it on, then in the show going on big fan's would blow smoke into the audience, you have to have been there to experience it.
I've been into the Dead since 1970 I was very young. I knew it was my path. I am Tribe Jerry's the father. I still can't deal with the loss of him I cry. Best band ever I am still a devoted Head. Seen Dead and Co. It's all good I know my 👑 is smiling down the music never stops. ✌💓🌞🌹⚡💀 NFA ✌🌹💓
Wow, I have not heard this in many years, I gave the tape to someone else who loved it in the 90s. This was a truly special show, and BTW, this the very first Eyes ever.
Have been sober drug free for 24 yrs and it still has the same vibe WITHOUT the mind altering stuff:) imagine that you can just get great vibes from the music and life:) Did not HAVE TO change ME just what I allowed to alter my mind:) most valuable lesson so far in life,that and honesty with myself:) , although no misunderstanding I would trade my experiences with hallucinogens for anything,they helped prepare me for a lot of what life has handed me,left me with a more open mind in simple terms:) Peace takes Practice. Rick western Co. Wichita Ks.
just remember the most beautiful colors and everyone smiling dancing just pure love for life. I was at a show in Maryland the summer of 1984 tripping on shroowms.. me also dancing and a 10 yr old sleeping the whole time ...good days are god days
The words of this song are words of my own, as the songs that we hear are songs of our own. Share this song with others, turn on them love lights, ✌🏼 Peace, love & pass it on.
The dead helped me come back to my innerself and understated who I truelly am that I was born to be a musician and no one can take that away from me. To discover that I myself was the eyes of the world to help those in need with addiction and the suffering of pain that I once went through myself. Keep truckin ☯️
smooth vibrations fill my mind, as I sink into a soft cool world of grey I look around for a lifted soul to free me. Jerry thats always been you, forever will I miss you. I play your music for my kids and they love it. I am going to wear one of your neck ties when I get hitched one day, love you brother.
Like the fleeting glimmer of sunlight on a passing dolphin, the beautiful scales and accouterments take me to another place, one that knows only beauty.
Amazing version, most awesome though lovin all its incarnations, evolutions & alterations, alliteration Sometimes the songs that we hear are the songs of our own
What a great song, and the undulating eye graphic with hands was a Very special touch! Stellar work sir! A nice and crispy version, and going to my favorites list...
+hellhound551 That it was. I was there. Just like I was there for Roosevelt Stadium 74 (try that one and get back to me). Nassau 3/73's another very great one that I was present for :-) or that night in Springfield on 3/28 later that month as we went hyperdrive out of DS into Eyes. But this one, the first one, is stunningly BEAUTIFUL. It floats like a monarch along a dune line in the October sun, nectaring on goldenrod. Then flitting to another. Onto Michoacan. All in due time. Sometimes the most beautiful things in this life are the simple things. The subtle, the delicate.
thumbs up yall!!! you got the arms all in the eye.....when the third eye is open...one can tell.....WE are the EYES of the world.....we can make or break it....we have timshel...the power of choice!!! cheers and turn it up !!! much love
gotta love the Dead...love this graphic with the hands goin into iris...so like wow man..really cool dude...didnt notice that before .groovy dudes...lol..dead forever..
oh hell yeah
Well said
How cool are the dead man! Not even bothered this guy has it on his channel
@@nvsouli This is a soundboard recording. They have no claim over this, but yeah, agreed
👌✌️🙌💚
This is much better than the studio version, and for a debut it is confident and inviting. I suppose that is what makes the dead the greatest.
🥀Rest in peace, but also run through wildflower fields, Philip C. Lesh! 🐕🌻🐝🌻 Good luck this next adventure! 🥀💜🥀 You are so loved. 🦋
This song brings joy to my heart. I shared it with my daughter and she plays it when down and out.
I went to a Dead and Company show. Travelled from Brazil to attend two nights at Citi Field last week. My life, as expected, has forever changed. Deadhead in my deepest core!
Now thats a road trip! Wwlcome aboard. You would have had your heart melted if hearing Jerry live.
Welcome to the bus
was lucky to see the Dead live 154 times, 1973 to 1995, still friends with many old heads.
Awesome😂😂😂

THIS SONG....Perfect, when absolutely Sober, with Good Friends and High on Life!

So good to listen first thing in the morning
also good when high on other things, but on life is #1
Damn straight
Thank god for the dead they’ve saved a lot of people who are hurting
A fuckin men brother...stay blessed 🙏🏼
Sure did dead
🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 carried me through a lot since around 1974. blessed are the dead.
Yes ....thank GOD for GERRY AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY
@@loudfast1261 been listening to them since the 60s
Anyone who gives this a thumbs-down must be living a horrible nightmare inside their mind.
This song always makes me feel good.
Can you imagine being in attendance at this first Eyes performance? People were probably stunned by this new jam.
and spun out
AOB dude, well said
I didn't go to a lot of dead shows, I went to a few and 'stunned" is one of the best words to describe the feeling.
They were prolly too stoned to remember it now lol
This one & imagine the first Terrapin!
Whenever you feel hopeless or rundown the dead are always there to help me see the light, don’t know what I’d do without them
so transcendental. i can taste it on the tip of my tongue. is it just me? 10 stars all around.
No, it's not just you.
Perfect description by the way.
Fuckin A
The Dead blended psychedelic rock jazz and folk so well that they just were such a legendary band throughout history. Jerry was a genius guitarist and such a poetic visionary of his time.
well said.
Actually, the poetic genius was Robert Hunter...just sayin'...
72-74 recordings are just magic.
WOW ...yes, but then , I think all the 70 s were great, and even into the 80s ..90s...I just think they really lost something special when Brent was no longer around...
Period
I cry when I listen sometimes
On point
Absolutely my favorite Dead!
Wish i could go back for just one night..
Try visiting a regional burn (similar to burning man, though often not in a desert) I think you'll find the culture and freedoms are alike in many ways.
Why ? No need to long for the past since all there is is the present. Be grateful for everything

I saw Dead & Co back in 2016, it was absolutely amazing, life changing for sure
@Corey if you see this comment make sure you go see the band called "Joe Russo's Almost Dead"... Thank me later

Live was pretty wonderful. A long time ago
The first Eyes ever. My favorite Dead song of all time. Thanx for posting this.
No man, just say no to mid song ads.

That's why I LOVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD.
Absolutely lovely, nothing like it! Just wish RUclips didnt play ads in the middle of this composition
if you're using firefox or chrome you can download "ad black" add-on for free and it disable all ads like a charm
73 was the best year for this tune.
Eyes… my happy place- love that learning it on guitar was an almost endless wealth of knowledge on how an E major 7th (EM7) can be played… as well as many other marvelous lessons. Thank you for sharing.
Love the Phil boms! ✌️
Every couple years or so I tell myself that I’m over the dead… then this recording comes on and I’m enthralled all over again
Hearing this Eyes is the moment that made it all start making sense. Keep it going! ☮
The MUSIC is the drug....no other "help" needed.
Needed no. But makes the expierence a lot better
Are you kidding, i been to there concerts back then. Electric Kool Aid was floating around, take a sip and pass it on, then in the show going on big fan's would blow smoke into the audience, you have to have been there to experience it.
@@horseyhorselips3501 what was in this electric koolaid? Acid?
@@williamlake5469 the "electric" preceding the "kool aid" means there was acid in it
Music is the key and dancing is the door.
This is my favorite version of this song Bob Weir's Rhythm Guitar is amazing in this one
Me too so sick. Been looking for it for a while
Bob really is one amazing rhythm guitarist
i know right you can hear it so well the riffs he plays during the verses is awesome
Archanfel what year and venue was this? It's quite beautiful
@@moheganson 2/9/73~~ Stanford U/ Palo Alto, 1st time ever palyed
very nice flowing groove. I like the 73 Dead alot. Eyes is a favorate. Like how laid back this is, room to drift off into another land.
and 15 minutes later you have a new perspective...could that be part of the daily magic that we share ? It reminds me of who i really am.
YEAH ! Words of wisdom ! Love ya !
I've been into the Dead since 1970 I was very young. I knew it was my path. I am Tribe Jerry's the father. I still can't deal with the loss of him I cry. Best band ever I am still a devoted Head. Seen Dead and Co. It's all good I know my 👑 is smiling down the music never stops. ✌💓🌞🌹⚡💀 NFA ✌🌹💓

Wow, I have not heard this in many years, I gave the tape to someone else who loved it in the 90s. This was a truly special show, and BTW, this the very first Eyes ever.
that is awesome. did not know this is the first time they played eyes. It's too good
There were many first's on this evening. At least five or six songs.
Dennis Campbell This is the first eyes?! Oh damn....I always come back to this version, definitely my favorite!
OMG what a beautiful rendition. Thanks for posting!

That's what I was looking for and I'll take your word for it. Thanks. xD
You have that right!...smiling just thinking about it!...agreed, just YES =)

May 13, 73' Mother's Day, Iowa State Fairgrounds. Eyes blew me away. Here's to never forgetting!
When they were on - there was just no stopping them - this is a great version.
Makes me feel light and fluffy. Jerry take me away!!!!
hehhehhehhehhehhehheh :-)
Yep, Jerry was real good at that, probably the best.
Could make a whole damn stadium levitate.
Ha!

One of the best discover of my life...
GREAT TO LIVE THIS LIFE !! ThANKs GUY'S !!!
Robert Hunter guided me here ...rest in song .
First eyes best eyes ❤ So exceptionally beautiful 👀❤️
First Eyes, first show of '73, hometown Palo Alto. Love it.
Such a fantastic version of what I think is the Dead’s best song. ⚡️💀🥀
What a great version !

Always good to see the World through a new set of Eyes.
Been listening to one of the billion versions since 5/8/77 , sing it in the shower lol every day. Makes my life a lil better...wake up
Like the fleeting glimmer of sunlight on a passing dolphin, the beautiful scales and accouterments take me to another place, one that knows only beauty.
Everybody look forward to hearing Jerry jam up in heaven......
Are you kidding?
Where is heaven?
I'm not dying until God allows it.

Utopia at its best... And what's even better - it's HERE and NOW, for all of us!
I loved the parking lot since. Could last for days in between shows.peace and love ❤️ thanks 8888
I love Jerry Garcia so much!!
I never saw the ghostly hands reaching towards the middle until today! I've probably listened 50 times on here.
This is the most unique version of the song can't find it anywhere else protect this video
73/74 eyes are exquisite ...musical art....not a bad version being it the first one...was just laying the groundwork for the tune
Miss doesn't even come close. He will always live in my heart.
Eyes is my favorite song by the Dead. Thanx!
Amazing version, most awesome though lovin all its incarnations, evolutions & alterations, alliteration
Sometimes the songs that we hear are the songs of our own
I love hearing them do a composition live right after the studio recording. You will, for sure, love "Bremen CLub 1972." RUclips.
Listen to Eyes of the World 08/06/74....I am amazed by all the 70's versions of this song. Fabulous!
It's refreshing to read positve, pleasant RUclips comments.
What an awesome song!!! Loved that it's interrupted in the middle by RUclips ads!
"The eye is the finest thing in the human form"
worth considering
What a great song, and the undulating eye graphic with hands was a Very special touch! Stellar work sir! A nice and crispy version, and going to my favorites list...
the 1977 version at Englishtown Nj was one of the best .....just amazing jam
+hellhound551 by far the best...Jerry covers rock, jazz, fusion r&b, and every other style in 16 minutes...this one is great , too
+hellhound551 That it was. I was there. Just like I was there for Roosevelt Stadium 74 (try that one and get back to me). Nassau 3/73's another very great one that I was present for :-) or that night in Springfield on 3/28 later that month as we went hyperdrive out of DS into Eyes.

Sometimes the most beautiful things in this life are the simple things. The subtle, the delicate.
I love that one. I also love 11-11-73. Its my favorite pre-hiatus version
Was at that show. This was my first show. Missed the first few days of collage because of the show. Great time. Was hooked hard.
thumbs up yall!!! you got the arms all in the eye.....when the third eye is open...one can tell.....WE are the EYES of the world.....we can make or break it....we have timshel...the power of choice!!! cheers and turn it up

Yes, this is one of the GREAT songs and instrumentals. absolutely. Love it!!
Thank you Park lots.

This is by far one of my favorite songs by them and it is so wonderful live...
Wide awake and enjoying the ride !!! Love Unconditional !
gotta love the Dead...love this graphic with the hands goin into iris...so like wow man..really cool dude...didnt notice that before
.groovy dudes...lol..dead forever..
4 months later, and, you still cant beat this!!!! (Like a broken drum, nyuk nyuk)
RIP Phil!
My favorite cut of this track
Beautiful song!
Only a greatful dead video do people actually appreciate the music rather than argue in the comments. Beautiful Music, Beautiful People..
This is their best song.
my Dad who was not a Dead Head said this song always reminded him of me when he heard me playing it
Just realized the eye is a bunch of hands reaching out. So.cool
I didn't see it at first either...lol....I couldnt.....
The next time I saw this I saw what was there!!!! 😁😁
Simply the best!
