      wow this kind of sux????? Idk

      I need recommendations for good Eyes jams because my favorite one currently is 5-26-73 (it’s got a real sexy and smooth main part and the jam is okayish) but I want more

          literally why didn’t I even think of this oh dear Jesus thank you Mr. on the Dead

        BTW check out the Eyes on the 77 Glassberg AUD. Kicks ass.

        77/05/03 if my brain were working.

      • FreedomHaul

        1977-10-29, Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL.

        That whole second set should just about do it.

      • FreedomHaul

        There’s also a nice Dark Star > Eyes > China Doll from 1973-02-15, Dane County Coliseum, Madison, WI but that scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it so caveat emptor.

    • FreedomHaul

      Also the 1973-11-11 Eyes (obvious call), the few from the June ’74 tour (Des Moines and Louisville especially), and 1974-08-06 Roosevelt Stadium.

    Is it not beautiful?

      I love Phil playing bass, but I have no idea why the fuck they ever gave him a microphone.

      • PC

        On that note, Bobby chooses He’s Gone to override Bruce, but let Phil sing unmolested on Eyes? Okay.

    Also – for sure Benjy could be included on Drumz. Billy must have a shareholder’s voting advantage.

    • PC

      A last thought for the evening on that – I’m getting the impression that Billy said yes to the 50th shindig based at least partially on his being the only actual kit drummer. Didn’t he make comments about this being an issue from his perspective back in the day?

      It ends with a reading of the final Lyrics from their respective iPads.

        I CANT DECIDE WHOSE COMMENT IS BETTER FUCK

      • PC

        In light of the apparent disagreement between judge and jury, I’m going to claim the win.

      • PC

        Nah. Eyes recommendation too obvious. No one talks up the 5/3/77 AUD but to my ears it smokes the Marsalis version. At least take a listen and tell me what you think.

        • swaggiemaggie

          I am (unfortunately for you, PC) going to have to say I prefer to jam to ToTD’s choice. However, that doesn’t mean that I enjoyed it anymore than the one I like the most, Kezar 5-26-73. There’s just something about that particular show that I can’t keep away from. I think it’s the pace and the way Bob and Jerry really mix together so well. They were both on fire that night. Hell, the whole band was. I’m going to listen to FreedomHaul’s next.

      • swaggiemaggie

        I’ll listen to both and whomever’s one I like better, that’s who wins.

      Maggie, if you’re still looking for an Eyes recommendation, try this one on for size: https://archive.org/details/gd1977-11-04.mtx.chappell.SB5.29091.flac16

      It’s an absolute rager.

      • swaggiemaggie

        Thank you SpamJam! It was very fast and I wasn’t expecting that, but I enjoyed it!

      • SpamJam

        That’s what..

        On second thought, never mind.

    Guess what

    A boy likes me and I’m planning on moving to Portugal to avoid him completely
