The Eyes starts off in a nice rhythm, then slows down a bit right away as Keith attempts to play lounge riffs. IMHBTR, the balance issues are still pretty bad, unfortunate for a song that needs the vox to be there.īTW, and during another vox focused song, they get it fixed. Promised Land is not from the official release and starts off with massive sound issues! They are mainly ironed out quickly, and the balance is almost right by the end of the song.

Who even cares when everything is right here on archive, and nobody needs connections to get it.

The second set here is majestic I love it still.Ībundance has changed our appreciation of this incredible band. I still love Phil's comments: 'yeah, maybe YOU need the three cents!'įor further research on June 1974, check Eyes->Big River on 6/16, and 8/6 while you're at it. I love the interposition of It's a Sin, a tune nobody knew until Deadbase, and I never cared for it anywhere else. You will find stellar versions of Eyes, TN Jed, Stella, and Morning Dew. I was 15 years old and looking for something to believe in, and the Dead were there, touring, ready for my hard-reappropriated bucks, and tapes like this were the theory, the justification, which came much more erratically from the f'd up middle-aged addicts who comprised the good old, old Grateful Dead. Low-generation tapes appeared WAY later, and I was pissed about it, since I needed them 10 years before. This was one of the hissy N-generation cassettes, sent in a padded envelope over mail or lent by somebody in a neighboring dorm, which slayed me over and over in the 80s.
