It was this Estimated/Eyes that turned me into a Deadhead. My boyfriend took me to my first show in 1983 (Madison, WI), and went to quite a few shows at Alpine Valley before we did any serious traveling to see them. But I didn't dress like a Deadhead, I didn't look like a Deadhead, didn't know the lyrics to the songs yet, etc. I felt like an outsider. Then one night he put THIS on for me - and I GOT IT - and was never the same again. BTW, this is on a presumably rare bootleg vinyl album marked "Recorded live at Rick's Café, Casablanca. Mfg in Valencia, Venezuela "All Rights Reserved. All Wrongs Reversed" A mint four album bootleg, and a cherished possession. My wonderful Deadhead husband has been dead over 8 years now, and listening to this brings me joy and pain unimaginable. Hope he's on a back porch somewhere over the rainbow with Jerry........and Pigpen and Keith and Brent...
He always will. (I've never had high speed internet before, so I'm only just recently discovering how much Dead music is on CZcams - this will keep me busy for hours!)
CuzKatieSaysSo It will keep you busy for days! I have the same 4 record box set. I never knew where this one had come from. I saw the dead 14 times but never saw them do this one. It is about one of my favorite tunes from anyone ever.
Went to this show with a buddy, we parked about 5 miles away, wepaid an older couple $10 to park in their front yard. When we got back to our car, they had left milk and cookies on the front porch for us. So cool.... Remember it like Yesterday..... Good ol Grateful Dead
Best chill pill- Listen to this. I was there- Doesn't Get Better 30 year run! Is one of the best no dougt!!! 2023 Still one of best of the best. First day rained out- what a trip- if you were there u know what time it is!!! Rock on
This particular version of Eyes is not only the best; Jerry’s intro with the band is perfection and he is lead by the drums/bass/rhythm all along; it’s just exactly perfect and one of my Top 10 songs of all time
I was 15 and this was my 1st Dead show. Nice to hear this as it's basically a blur in my memory even being there - just bits and pieces. I do remember that Peace Reigns in Old Bridge headline from the Star Ledger the next day. On the 2nd page of the article was a photograph of my sister standing next to the banner she had made with the help of my mother. I can still hear mom saying, "And what are these? Marijuana leaves we're painting?" I remember New RIders opened, pretty sure I crashed during the whole Marshall Tucker set and then the Dead played. It seemed like 12 hours of music.
My friend jeff and i rode our motorcycles there, camped out the night before, saw a great show, will never forget that day. Jeff passed away a few years ago, RIP- buddy, will see you again some day.....
Wow some amazing experiences you got to enjoy, this amazing once in a lifetime show and i'm sure the NYC show was just as amazing, so awesome you got to enjoy a show at the original FILMORE EAST, which is now sadly just a bank in the same building that hosted many magical nights
I was there. While Tucker and NRPS were playing, I worked my way all the way to the front, by the time the boys started, i was as close as you could get. I was 17
Came over from Scotland 4 th July 1976 followed the dead around gods country till81 this was magi personal favourite was Cornell 77 neve r seen bad one sitting in London today jammin along to this groove alls well in the world
I fell in love with a girl in Edinburgh in 1982. Scotland was pure magic and delight. I fell in love with the Grateful Dead at this - my first ever show
i was 7 years old and this is a strong early memory as I grew up 1.5 miles from Raceway Park ... this event JAMMED UP HALF THE STATE!!! pun and no pun intended
I remember going to this show with my girlfriend , and a bunch of friends. The bus that took us there could only come within four miles of the raceway. It was a long walk too, in the heat of that September. Thousands of people walking to the show together, with more then an occasional helicopter buzzing the crowd. We continued walking through sleepy neighbor hoods with residents standing on their porches in awe. At one point the crowd was diverted by a broke down pickup truck onto a homeowner's lawn. The lawn had a slight slope to the sidewalk. That little slope turned from a lush green lawn to a dirt trail before my eye's. We arrived at the show , and was witnessing Dead History in the making. Absolutely one of the most Fantastic landscape's of people I've ever gazed upon. When Eyes of the world came on the crowd seemed to go so cool into a beautiful daze of pleasure, and cheers. Wow.. what a spectacle I thought......... Thinking about it all now sends chills down my back. My girlfriend, and me in our young beautiful bodies swaying to the music...... Many years later I had a delivery van service that supplied English town Raceway with fliers for upcoming events. When I arrived with the fliers one day there was this gentleman that turned out to be one of the executives of the raceway waiting for this particular delivery. I mentioned that I was at the Dead show in 77'. He was a dead head too. We unloaded the pallet of fliers with him helping me in his suit ( Tie ,and all on !) He then wanted to show me some pictures of the show. When we arrived at his office , one whole wall had a high resolution photo of the stage ,and crowds. The picture was taken from a helicopter high above the crowd he mentioned . The other pictures were all backstage photos of him hanging with Jerry........ Such fantastic memories gazing at that giant Photo. Memories of youth ,and the Grateful Dead
+1starcrown dude i was there too, two friends and i, parked on the front lawn of some random dude, 10 bucks, also miles from the show, missed most of marshall tucker band, but plenty of time to get set up in our zone for the show,,we ended up on top of one of the box tractor trailers that were used as fencing,,they lined the entire field..maybe 50 of them,, hippies on toip of every one of them, bouncing and flexing the roofs in time with the tune,,,once the show let out , we were trapped in the throng leaving the racetrack down the access road, people burning fires all along the way, swampy woods to either side of the road,,, we finally got out to the main road, of course no fucking idea where we parked,, hiked around all night , and found our station wagon right at sunup,, i think we parked right next to that pickup what a great fun time we had! of course jersey in summer , the mosquitoes were wicked !
I was there in my van with 8 others from Glen Cove Long Island Ny- we all dead heads, got rained out then the best long jams i’ve seen it of over 700 concerts!! Jams that played 40-50 minutes. Memories for a life time!!!!

42 years ago today! What a day in my life ,fun sun rock and roll with lots of friends! What a strange trip it been 59 years old and still a head !!!peace love fun friends and rock and roll and don't forget the drugs !
Saw this show!! I got on the bus in 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York City, place was almost empty but the boys rocked till daylight anyway, acoustic and electric, been on the bus ever since...RIP Jerry you haven't been forgotten, not by a long shot, we miss you...One of the BEST Dead shows I've ever seen!!
My first Dead show in the 80's, I managed to get right up front at the start and I was so entranced that I didn't even look over my shoulder once. Then, when they busted into Eyes, I realized I should go and try and find my friends, so I turned around and was absolutely stunned to see the entire stadium of people just dancing away like crazy. Truly amazing. A moment I'll never forget.
My best Jerryemory is 1982 music mtn south fallsburg n.y..... Word can't do justice....hear it for yourself sometime.. One of if not my strongest suggested pieces of music/magic in time....truly!
This is a Dead jam that would turn on anyone not yet in to them. This has to be in the top 5 Dead jams that bring in the un-lightened wanderers. It is one of my top 5 Dead jams of all time. The other 4? Depends how I feel and where I am and who I am with and where I have recently been, etc...... That is what makes the Dead the Dead. See?
Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY I've never to this day been able to put into words what makes them and just how the Dead are so damn special. You hit the nail right on the head here. It all depends on environment, which is what makes the music so phenomenal. From person to person, song to song, and place to place, it all weighs into the music. Thanks for finally putting that into the perfect wording, rock on my friend!
My favorite Dead song of all time. This is a great version. I love when they jam this song. I can listen to them play this song forever. Can't wait to get over the rainbow myself someday when everyone will be there. One long Acid Test. It will be great. Thanx for posting this.
Went to see the Marshall Tucker Band...they opened up with "Heard it in a Love Song". I passed out and woke up to find ...I am the eyes of the world...how awesome?!?
I was there, got there the day before, left the day after. Parked in a huge grass field outside the track, partied all night and rolled right up in front when the gates were busted open early on the morning of the show. Blazing hot!! We met up with friends, and might have been the only people who successfully snuck in two huge coolers full of ice cold tall boys. I still remember standing on top of one of those coolers during this awesome version of Eyes. Ahhhhh, to be twenty, tanned and trippin....
Was there for this concert 40 years ago ! When they played looks like rain it started misting , a mystical experience . One of the best concerts for me with over 100,000 dead heads .
This song is the bible for any jam band out there , my girlfriend asked me two days ago which melody of kind of music would describe me best and ill tell her this tune will do her just fine
I noticed there was a side of the audience that was tuned into Phil Lesh at the show "The Phil Side " . His love of improvisational Jazz and classical blends from greats like John Coltrane ,and Charles Ives fueled the Jamming to new levels always evolving , always changing his bass runs with Jerry. A good source for reading about this is the 2010 tome The Grateful Dead in Concert : Essays on Live Improvisation by CSU's Jim Tuedio. One of the book's essays is a piece by Shaun O'Donnell called '' American Chaos ''All The Jamming influences ...Peace
Man, I was at that show many moons ago, what a blast from the past. Its so awesome that you can hear these show now. The Dead were so cool about their recording live policy wish was fuck it let them do it and to actually have a section for people taping. I feel lucky to be there to experience the magic they made. People will be hearing this stuff for hundreds of years that's awesome.
sitting in a hospital ER waiting for these youngsters to show me to the cardiac care bed they say they're keeping me in tonight...I figure they'll get tired of me singing soon enough...
I had never been back to Englishtown since 1977 and I went to a BMW driving event there last year and I just looked at the grounds and pictured the place full of thousands of Deadheads. Helicopters flying around. Hoses shooting out water because it was so hot and everyone was sliding and playing in the mud. I was right up front by the light tower on the left and remember looking back and not being able to see the end of the crowd. It was a strange moment to be there in an entirely different context so many years later but it brought back that magical day. It really was epic! The Woodstock of the 70's for us. I still get chills when I hear this version!
I have never been back either ...so crowded we lost the people we drove from SUNY Brockport with. My friend Lee and I had to sleep on the side of a road and had to hitch hike back to Rochester ,NY. Played Trucking as an encore with a big ol full moon shining. Tough hitch hike though..... took for ever. I guess that is what they mean by a long strange trip ;)
Len Bellacicco seriously, i was 13 and tripping. Hearing this live was a gift, along with hes gone, god i can still smell the patchouli and weed, not to mention those oh so foul porta potties ha!
Was there about 36 hours early...got a good spot really close to the stage. Hot as hell, and no water anywhere and no way to get out. A bucket came from nowhere just as I felt like passing out. A little while later they sprayed people down front with hoses. Saw many, many shows and this was one of the best.
Was at this show, my second. 1977 -- what a years for them! Three hour hike back to my car in the middle of the night and McDonalds on the NJ Turnpike with a bazillion other happy roaster-toasted Deadheads..ah to be twenty again.
1starcrown and Green Infastructure...yeah...totally feel this in my soul as well.... this song and The Band just bring up those deep, wonderful, warm, memories and feelings that melt my heart for all the times at shows. Nobody did it for me like 'the Dead. I'll never live like I did at their shows again.... Thanks you all.....
Wow! Thanks for posting. This show which also featured New Riders of the Purple Sage and Marshall Tucker capped off a week long road trip I took down the skyline drive and onto the smokey mountains and back in time for this. A good time was had by all.
I was 16, my friends and I went from 2 days in the mountains doing peyote, directly to the show. I spent the day slowly working my way down to the stage while Tucker and NRPS played. By the time the boys came on I was right there. Do you remember "red hash, get you red hash"
love all the 70s versions of eyes. the jamming they do in the beginning is perfect. the one from dicks picks vol 18 is oh so sweet too. Jerry misses us all too guys. He wants us all to have a good time this July. he will be there. You all know it. We will all be channeling him all weekend. We love you jerry and miss you deeply.
I attended this show with my sister Mary and her then boyfriend Doc. Great show. Very beautiful song. Just graduated High School, what a way to start out.
It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since you left us all. Miss you Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia. More than mere words can say. August 9, 1995 was the Day the Music Died for me and my generation. xoxo Mare Sobo & our son Dylan Jerome ..named after Bob D. and Jerry G.
Arrived at 3am and parked along the access road. Was able to get the cooler full of beer through security with a small bottle of JD as a bribe. New Rider of the Purple Sage opened and Jerry came out to sit in for a few.Marshall Tuck was up next and opened with "Can't You See". what a day. Truckin' as we walked back to the car. Wiped the fuck out!
I was a young stagehand for that show back then, got to see the band from JG’s side of the stage about 15 ft away . Even then it was a magical experience.
Even to this day, after 40+ years as a career audio pro and toured the world, This one show and especially this son is a shining memory, a pivotal moment that just maybe shaped my whole life working in entertainment.
This was my first Dead show. I was hooked from the start and it started a journey that lasted years and wended its way to many places, physical and spiritual. I am SOOO groovin on this right now :)
It was this Estimated/Eyes that turned me into a Deadhead. My boyfriend took me to my first show in 1983 (Madison, WI), and went to quite a few shows at Alpine Valley before we did any serious traveling to see them.

Some people never get it. Sad. That your husband did and turned you on. Glad. Wonderful memories, I'm sure.
Fat man rocks!
He always will. (I've never had high speed internet before, so I'm only just recently discovering how much Dead music is on CZcams - this will keep me busy for hours!)
CuzKatieSaysSo It will keep you busy for days!
I have the same 4 record box set. I never knew where this one had come from.
I saw the dead 14 times but never saw them do this one. It is about one of my favorite tunes from anyone ever.
Thanks for your comment Katie. I'll see if I can put up Estimated Prophet from this show; it's a great version...!
I'd love to hear it.
I know everyone has their own notion, but this song represents this band at their absolute peak. It's a masterpiece.
Went to this show with a buddy, we parked about 5 miles away, wepaid an older couple $10 to park in their front yard. When we got back to our car, they had left milk and cookies on the front porch for us. So cool.... Remember it like Yesterday..... Good ol Grateful Dead
Those folks you call “older folks” may be younger than you are now. 😆
I was 13 and at this show, what an awesome intro to the rest of my life!
Hard to believe this was 47 years ago.. Saw this show, RIP Rob, Vic & Fritz..
Best chill pill- Listen to this. I was there- Doesn't Get Better
30 year run! Is one of the best no dougt!!!
2023 Still one of best of the best. First day rained out- what a trip- if you were there u know what time it is!!!
Rock on
I was there. Best eyes and he's gone. Drove family woody station wagon. I think there were 9 people in the car. Didn't sleep for over 48 hours
God, Jerry’’s playing is superb on this.
The fascination of this song never ends for me. This is an excellent version because you can clearly hear Phil working his magic.
I was rhere and listening to it here I get to hear Phil in ways I couldn’t hear there.
Yes, another is the Great American Music Hall 75 one.. mandatory Lesh ear candy
This particular version of Eyes is not only the best; Jerry’s intro with the band is perfection and he is lead by the drums/bass/rhythm all along; it’s just exactly perfect and one of my Top 10 songs of all time
The 77 and 78 Eyes are my favorites
24/7/31 i was there NJ 77
This is one of the best cuts
One would of had to be there. Its a life time of memories!!! This puts you in another planet!!!
anyone out there listening now to this song
there's more to the dead than just Touch of Grey that's obvious.
no
I was 15 and this was my 1st Dead show. Nice to hear this as it's basically a blur in my memory even being there - just bits and pieces. I do remember that Peace Reigns in Old Bridge headline from the Star Ledger the next day. On the 2nd page of the article was a photograph of my sister standing next to the banner she had made with the help of my mother. I can still hear mom saying, "And what are these? Marijuana leaves we're painting?" I remember New RIders opened, pretty sure I crashed during the whole Marshall Tucker set and then the Dead played. It seemed like 12 hours of music.
Three years after your post and we're still listening. Cheers
Susan Stack yes RIGHT NOW!
My friend jeff and i rode our motorcycles there, camped out the night before, saw a great show, will never forget that day.
Jeff passed away a few years ago, RIP- buddy, will see you again some day.....
I went to this show, was one of the Dead's finest performances I had ever seen....First saw them at the Fillmore East in NYC in 1969..
Wow some amazing experiences you got to enjoy, this amazing once in a lifetime show and i'm sure the NYC show was just as amazing, so awesome you got to enjoy a show at the original FILMORE EAST, which is now sadly just a bank in the same building that hosted many magical nights
This song makes me happy and I haven't been happy for awhile. But I am now cause of this song smiles ear to ear!!!
I understand ❤️
HOPE THE HAPPY STICKS WITH YA, BTW I KNOW A MEACHAM...HER NAME IS LINDA FROM BUENA PARK CA. ANY RELATION?
I was there. While Tucker and NRPS were playing, I worked my way all the way to the front, by the time the boys started, i was as close as you could get. I was 17
Came over from Scotland 4 th July 1976 followed the dead around gods country till81 this was magi personal favourite was Cornell 77 neve r seen bad one sitting in London today jammin along to this groove alls well in the world
I fell in love with a girl in Edinburgh in 1982. Scotland was pure magic and delight. I fell in love with the Grateful Dead at this - my first ever show
I was there. Best show ever!
It's crazy how one show can change you from a casual fan to a complete freak :)
i was 7 years old and this is a strong early memory as I grew up 1.5 miles from Raceway Park ... this event JAMMED UP HALF THE STATE!!! pun and no pun intended
1968-1995 long strange trip we on
Their music lives on!!
If you were there I know!! History
Dick's Picks vol.15
The whole show is really, really great, 77 was a great year for the Dead.
+Diego Beretta en fuego
+Diego Beretta every year was a great year :D
my favorite show
All on Spotify!!
He’ll yeah!
One of the greatest live performances by The Dead in my honest opinion.
I know right!!!!!
A top-contending date if I had a time travel machine...
The best version up to that particular date in time!!! Could only imagine the future to come
That whole east coast swing during the spring of 1977 was amazing.
And we were there! When life was simple. I was 17 and living without a care.....❤
i was at this show, mini woodstock! it was incredible...dead, marshall tucker, new riders of purple sage...once in a lifetime kinda time, peace
I was there 14 years old. ,changed my life
I remember going to this show with my girlfriend , and a bunch of friends. The bus that took us there could only come within four miles of the raceway. It was a long walk too, in the heat of that September. Thousands of people walking to the show together, with more then an occasional helicopter buzzing the crowd.

I always think of that walk when I think of Englishtown!
Yep, I was there too. Parked on a lawn and made that long walk. But oh it was soo worth it...what day!
Anyone who seen. This band at least 125x raise their hand.
I was there in my van with 8 others from Glen Cove Long Island Ny- we all dead heads, got rained out then the best long jams i’ve seen it of over 700 concerts!! Jams that played 40-50 minutes. Memories for a life time!!!!

Wake up to find out that you are the ears of the universe.

Saw this show!!

And then you woke up!
This music certainly makes me realize we don’t treat each other good enough.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Much love ❤
Skippy!
My first Dead show in the 80's, I managed to get right up front at the start and I was so entranced that I didn't even look over my shoulder once. Then, when they busted into Eyes, I realized I should go and try and find my friends, so I turned around and was absolutely stunned to see the entire stadium of people just dancing away like crazy. Truly amazing. A moment I'll never forget.
I love people like this that have 700 subs and 280k views. Thank You!!!
Wow, good s**t. Love the the music.
Greatest "Eyes of the World" EVER.
Frank Scurato Try NJ live 1974...thank me later

eyes of the world is musicl utopia...jerry was sent from heaven....what beautiful musical cords from garcia
Only Jerry could jam like this with only two cords. Think about it....two cords.

Imagine I could have been there and I didn't go what I lost but what a great day for everybody

Thanks for sending me them eyes April O much love💚 2021
My best Jerryemory is 1982 music mtn south fallsburg n.y.....
Word can't do justice....hear it for yourself sometime..
One of if not my strongest suggested pieces of music/magic in time....truly!
This is a Dead jam that would turn on anyone not yet in to them.
This has to be in the top 5 Dead jams that bring in the un-lightened wanderers.
It is one of my top 5 Dead jams of all time. The other 4? Depends how I feel and where I am and who I am with and where I have recently been, etc......
That is what makes the Dead the Dead. See?
Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY I've never to this day been able to put into words what makes them and just how the Dead are so damn special. You hit the nail right on the head here. It all depends on environment, which is what makes the music so phenomenal. From person to person, song to song, and place to place, it all weighs into the music. Thanks for finally putting that into the perfect wording, rock on my friend!
well said!!
Jerry is absolutely smokin here
I was there!!! Best Eyes ever.
I believe I was present for this. I was 16, and my BF Donnie and I drove from Wilmington. Awesome show. Beautiful day, and this perfect performance.
My favorite Dead song of all time. This is a great version. I love when they jam this song. I can listen to them play this song forever. Can't wait to get over the rainbow myself someday when everyone will be there. One long Acid Test. It will be great. Thanx for posting this.
1st show, 1st acid trip. God was it hot!!
Was there that long, beautiful late summer day........ selling ice cream sandwiches/a new mom was airlifted to a nearby hospital
Yes im listening to a great piece of music
Went to see the Marshall Tucker Band...they opened up with "Heard it in a Love Song". I passed out and woke up to find ...I am the eyes of the world...how awesome?!?
remember this song well.. The sun just started to set.. My 1st Dead show at 14.. I was hooked..
arrived in a u-haul van with 8 of us,,,watched the fence get torn down....and went right right in... 2 days later....made it home.... luv the 70's
My favorite dead song in concert. Brings a smile to my face every single time!
I was there, got there the day before, left the day after. Parked in a huge grass field outside the track, partied all night and rolled right up in front when the gates were busted open early on the morning of the show. Blazing hot!!

mid to late 70's dead had a such a groove to it..love 77
The BEST Dead show I ever saw...
I'm in your video. Thanks for the memories.
Always puts me in a great mood. One of the best, if not the best GD song
I absolutely love this song! My favorite version!
i was there
sitting in a hospital ER waiting for these youngsters to show me to the cardiac care bed they say they're keeping me in tonight...I figure they'll get tired of me singing soon enough...
Hope your ok I just got a pacemakers
I had never been back to Englishtown since 1977 and I went to a BMW driving event there last year and I just looked at the grounds and pictured the place full of thousands of Deadheads. Helicopters flying around. Hoses shooting out water because it was so hot and everyone was sliding and playing in the mud. I was right up front by the light tower on the left and remember looking back and not being able to see the end of the crowd. It was a strange moment to be there in an entirely different context so many years later but it brought back that magical day. It really was epic! The Woodstock of the 70's for us. I still get chills when I hear this version!
I have never been back either ...so crowded we lost the people we drove from SUNY Brockport with. My friend Lee and I had to sleep on the side of a road and had to hitch hike back to Rochester ,NY. Played Trucking as an encore with a big ol full moon shining. Tough hitch hike though..... took for ever. I guess that is what they mean by a long strange trip ;)
Len Bellacicco seriously, i was 13 and tripping. Hearing this live was a gift, along with hes gone, god i can still smell the patchouli and weed, not to mention those oh so foul porta potties ha!
Len Bellacicco unfortunately most of the crowd are yuppie selouts
Len Bellacicco why were there helis flying around though? And who exactly was using water cannons? The fire department?

i remember reading that phil says about this show "This was the big one that we didn't fuck up"
Attended. Best shows ever. Jersey City 1972. Sept. 3. Shows mwt. Mjh Stanley. Theatre
I was there... 40 years ago today!
I was there and found a giant bag of ludes. What a day!!!!!!
That’s excellent man! Phil just rips in this version
Me too!!
Was there about 36 hours early...got a good spot really close to the stage. Hot as hell, and no water anywhere and no way to get out. A bucket came from nowhere just as I felt like passing out. A little while later they sprayed people down front with hoses. Saw many, many shows and this was one of the best.
Was at this show, my second. 1977 -- what a years for them! Three hour hike back to my car in the middle of the night and McDonalds on the NJ Turnpike with a bazillion other happy roaster-toasted Deadheads..ah to be twenty again.
BlissedMiss1 Also my 2nd show and I was 20. Don't know how I found my car, but I did. Great, great show.
This show was my Woodstock.
1starcrown and Green Infastructure...yeah...totally feel this in my soul as well.... this song and The Band just bring up those deep, wonderful, warm, memories and feelings that melt my heart for all the times at shows. Nobody did it for me like 'the Dead. I'll never live like I did at their shows again.... Thanks you all.....
oh thank you this version brought me to tears alright god bless, love and peace to all
what a day,would love to live it again!
Wow! Thanks for posting. This show which also featured New Riders of the Purple Sage and Marshall Tucker capped off a week long road trip I took down the skyline drive and onto the smokey mountains and back in time for this. A good time was had by all.
I was 16, my friends and I went from 2 days in the mountains doing peyote, directly to the show. I spent the day slowly working my way down to the stage while Tucker and NRPS played. By the time the boys came on I was right there. Do you remember "red hash, get you red hash"
the kinda smooth smooth crunch that makes your feet move!
love all the 70s versions of eyes. the jamming they do in the beginning is perfect. the one from dicks picks vol 18 is oh so sweet too. Jerry misses us all too guys. He wants us all to have a good time this July. he will be there. You all know it. We will all be channeling him all weekend.
We love you jerry and miss you deeply.
Best EYES ever hands down!!
There are no Words to defy A Dead Show. I haven't visited a show since Jerry's passing, I must say We Miss You Jerry!!!
defy or define a Dead Show?
Lol. I'm not a spell check guy .
I saw them at the binghamton arena n.y. the same year....they were in the majic groove zone!
this was my first Dead Show. and this is my favorite song of all time.
I attended this show with my sister Mary and her then boyfriend Doc. Great show. Very beautiful song. Just graduated High School, what a way to start out.
I was at this show in spirit,yea in the 5 d....it was hot that day,and even.hotter that night lol
It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since you left us all. Miss you Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia. More than mere words can say. August 9, 1995 was the Day the Music Died for me and my generation. xoxo Mare Sobo & our son Dylan Jerome ..named after Bob D. and Jerry G.
Me I'm listening and enjoying 😊😊
I just got out of navy boot camp and went to this show 1week later one of the best memories in my life and road trip
Was in attendance!! Awesome show, very wild day!
Was at this show! Such great memories................................
I was there too What a grate time Fantastic weekend :)
Arrived at 3am and parked along the access road. Was able to get the cooler full of beer through security with a small bottle of JD as a bribe. New Rider of the Purple Sage opened and Jerry came out to sit in for a few.Marshall Tuck was up next and opened with "Can't You See". what a day. Truckin' as we walked back to the car. Wiped the fuck out!
I was a young stagehand for that show back then, got to see the band from JG’s side of the stage about 15 ft away . Even then it was a magical experience.
You rock, David. Glad you got
To experience that. Cheers.
Even to this day, after 40+ years as a career audio pro and toured the world, This one show and especially this son is a shining memory, a pivotal moment that just maybe shaped my whole life working in entertainment.
This was my first Dead show. I was hooked from the start and it started a journey that lasted years and wended its way to many places, physical and spiritual. I am SOOO groovin on this right now :)
Was there very trippy day for sure
