This performance is such a mosaic and the theme Eyes of the World makes it seem even more relevant as a mosaic and the lyrics mirror that theme.There are 6 musicians with special guest Branford Marsalis on saxophone.

[@bobseki7051]

Guest Appearance by Branford Marsalis on Tenor & Soprano Saxophone.

I've heard little or no music from this band and i did not realize they were so musical...soprano sax is tops..

[@chazblitz]

This always has sounded more like David Sanborn jamming with George Benson than the Dead to me. Jazzy AF! The Dead are so multi dimensional that they pull it off with ease. Never my favorite band, I saw them many times with my brother, who was the deadhead of the 20th century. I miss the old boy still.

[@thesecretjewishspacelaser9959]

Nice later rendition. I prefer the 74 eyes where they break off into the modal jam. You’d love it.

[@ChicoEscuela]

Marvin Gaye comment was spot on - definite influence

[@samblethen]

This version ranks number 2 by Deadheads. Number 1 is from Aug. 6, 1974 🍄🍄

[@frankgarcia1]

2 guitars, 1 bass. 2 drummers. 1 keyboards. The horn was a guest for this night but he made this version. Jerry invited him. The flute was a guitar. I never went anywhere before I was 19. By 23, I had been to 46/50 states. I had no money. My parents gave me nothing. Im not saying I did everything legal but I never sold anything that hurt anyone. I made all my own money on tour and worked everyday to get my young ass around the country to see this band.

[@haroldjacobs1490]

The number of players for this was seven. Two drummers, keyboards, bassist, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and sax. The reason it sounds like so many instruments is that the two drummers had all kinds of drums, and all the bells and whistles, including electronics, Jerry had a foot console that let him play something like 20 instruments like flutes horns strings, using the guitar. When the band came into town we gathered like a tribe for the event

Dead would typically play three days/nights consecutively at a given venue, and never repeat any songs for all three shows!

[@ricklopez1241]

I was at EVERY VENUE on that 2 album set ( Without a Net ). To put it mildly, simply beautiful music, GREAT TIMES!!!

[@charlespichler1057]

On You Tube there is an interview with Branford Marsalis talking about playing with the Grateful Dead you may want to check out. Wish I had been at one of the shows he joined in with them. 😀💀

[@jeffmartin1026]

I tweaked my back earlier today and while I'm waiting for the drugs to kick in, you post this - Perfect!! Knowing the LP versions of songs are good to listen to so you can hear just how much fun they are having with them. You now understand why there was nothing like a Grateful Dead show/tour.

[@daveseidnergd]

I remember this Nassau run fondly. Everyone was on fire!

[@dustybaron5942]

This particular recording of "Eyes" with Branford Marsalis (on sax) was always one of my favorite jams from the Dead. Jerry's jamming on it always sounds like "glass" or something -- just beautiful. Thanks for reacting to it!

Bless you Sifa. Been listening to the Grateful Dead since the late 1970's, and I've heard a lot of different versions of "Eyes". The first time I heard this version I knew right away that it was a slight improvement, because of Branford Marsalis' presence on the recording. Jerry's singing and playing are right on point, as are the rest of the boys. This concert was nearby your location, Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. They could even make that venue sound good.

[@robertstein3770]

I had listened to the dead casually and was a fan but when I heard this version of this song my understanding of what music could be dramatically changed. For the good, just so we’re clear.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Great reaction to a great selection!

[@brianfisher6165]

I saw 3 shows with Branford!!! ❤❤ He fit soo well and was smoking great all evening. When he wasn't wailing on his sax he danced on stage all night with the rest of us, Brilliant!!!👌👌👍👍✌✌😁😁 "Flute" was Jerry and your explanation of the experience is dead on accurate. The Album 'In The Dark" was recorded live on stage without an audience in the dark, to try and give a more authentic sound!!!❤❤👌👌✌✌
