Grateful Dead 9-7-73 Eyes of the World: Nassau Coliseum

[@markspringer6080]

I was there for all 5 Nassau Coliseum shows in 1973. Great music, great memories.

[@chefbo297]

Me too

[@TheMfmccarthy]

Man that is legendary. In my opinion this is perhaps the greatest Eyes ever recorded

@@markherman9067 I'm amazed I wasn't busted. The Dead didn't come back to the Coliseum until 1979. Happy holidays!

[@dylangatenby9928]

The Nassau shows were always good back in '73.

[@johngalt6838]

Wolf is just so crystal clear...pure. What a great axe and Jerry makes it sing in his prime.

[@stevezurier]

I was at the September 8 show. Was my 18th birthday and was there with a large group of friends. Just a magical time, despite all the bad politics going on at the time. The Dead and all that great music got us through.

[@TheMfmccarthy]

It has been very meaningful to me to find these recordings online with comments from OG deadheads who were there. I believe this Music to be basically divine, especially versions like this

Jerry is absolutely tearing it up. Outstanding Eyes here.

Serious heat on this Eyes! Yes the force is strong with the boys. ❤

[@briankelly7632]

I was ten years old and about ten miles from the Dead when they made this music, growing up on Long Island. I had four years before being introduced to the Dead, and that's when everything changed. The Nassau Coliseum became my home when the Dead were there. I followed them up and down much of the east coast, until '86 when I got clean and sober and had to stay away from the scene for a bit. Last shows were in March 1986 at Hampton Coliseum in Va. Such great memories.

[@davidl.7317]

Some of my favorite shows of the Dead were at Uniondale. Great people, great music, great all around vibe. Met so many great folks there and the music never stopped.

Thank you for posting this! I love this version of Eyes!

[@Jkel913]

LOVE IT! Thank you! Among the SO MANY other beautiful things about this particular eyes…Just Listen to Kreutzman’s snare SNAP, especially in the opening bit. So friggin tight..and absolutely KICKS IT IN GEAR ! LIFT OFF

[@Jkel913]

Or how bout Weir’s especially melodic and lyrical rhythm runs intertwined throughout? STELLAR.

[@erichanhauser3190]

Kreutzmann ruled the skins in 73-74. 76 to forever.

[@Dman216]

Jesus. 1 minute in and I got goosebumps already

[@jimywebb23]

This has and always will be the perfect theme song for the psychedelic experience 👀🌎🕺🏻

[@TheMfmccarthy]

14:07 This little lick right here is a classic example of what sets Jerry apart from other players. This isn't major or minor or any kind of pentatonic. This is like star searching interstellar shit

[@richardwingert2827]

Jerry Garcia had such a magical touch. The joy in his playing is overwhelming 😊

[@llamabanduio5668]

@10:30 Dude had a hell of a right to carry around that briefcase all the time...he's a true PhD. professor. What a player OMG. The tens of thousands of hours put in on the guitar to get to this level.

[@erichanhauser3190]

They rehearsed on stage. Unreal. Fearless musical warriors. The mistakes are somehow epic musical masterpieces. You know, & I know, they're the best band ever.

[@peterjonas4971]

Mnd blowing part. I'm not a guitarist, but I know enough to appreciate what Jerry's doing there. I love the Dead but don't like to call them a jazz band. Nonetheless, that's the closest I've ever heard them come to Be-Bop Jazz improvizing perfection.

[@TheMfmccarthy]

08:06 This chord right here is what separates the Grateful Dead from all the lazy jam bands. Anybody can do a two-cord jam but having a signaled transition into a different key, and that tense sound of danger in the progression, that is golden vintage Grateful Dead

[@ChokeOnHamburder]

Buddy, you need to calm down. True fans don't talk trash about other Jam Bands. This is a family, you douche!

[@quartzimaging]

Hot licks all around! And Lordy Me Oh My -- that extended solo starting at 9:40! Reach down and get it boy!

[@TheMfmccarthy]

15:10-15:28 is literally the only weak link in this whole song. The rest of this recording, especially Jerry's work, is basically flawless. My vote for greatest version of all time

[@MrPete-pe6uk]

its a really good version, but no

[@gordtvradio3465]

Basically agree, though the way he transitions out of it is prettty great

[@mczensun8610]

A true phenomenon traversing time space from beyond 🌈

[@jonlawrence100]

This is the best one, folks - at least pre-hiatus when Eyes had that extra special magic and the fully structured jam sequence. Garcia has it by the balls all the way through here. Only time they truly nailed the diminished arpeggio climax in the jam - what a monumental moment. Would it be too much to ask for the wizards to give us a better mix now that is been officially released? The whole damn show is a good candidate to put out btw. This is the debut of Wolf with the Dead, FYI - JG used it (him?) for the first time a few days earlier, 9/3 I think, in tat JGB show on the boat, whatever thats known as..

[@rm1133]

The BEST ever is a mighty bold statement, especially since we're talking about such a great song. I wouldn't go that far but totally accept your opinion as all of this is subjective anyway. I am partial to 9/3/77 Englishtown, 6/18/74, 8/6/74 and 3/29/90 with Branford. I will say this is one of the most underrated versions out there because I don't think it is held in such high esteem as some of the others. Any way you slice it, it sure is wonderful listening.

09:56 it's my theory that the Grateful Dead listened to the Allman Brothers in their prime and learned from Gregg that they needed to have Brent in here on this kind of sound on keyboards

"Bass player"? What are you doing here, man?

[@ramblinrose5611]

[@KhalDrogo76]

I for one love Phil Leshs playing, he wasn’t a pocket player he was a lyrical bass player who wove lines around the guitars. Very unique and distinct style. A pocket standard bass player wouldn’t have been nearly as a contributor to the Dead’s sound

[@ramblinrose5611]

@@KhalDrogo76 Yes! He added to that tension we love. It was like beautiful chaos! This is a comment that I wrote yesterday about winterland 78 samson and Delilah....... "Phil too! Now I can hear it between the 3. The way they create syncopated rhythms is insane. The amount of tension that built up by the whole band actually makes me laugh out loud around 7:35. It feels like they are tickling my brain!"
