Grateful Dead
Dead To The Core Project
Noteworthy Eyes (A Collection)
This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Eyes Of The World
played by the Grateful Dead. It is very closely based on a list put
together by Eric Wybenga and published in his book _Dead To The Core:
An Almanac of the Grateful Dead_. Several of Eric's selections have
been released commercially. I was able to find an audience recording
for 77-09-03 and 90-03-29 and an FM broadcast for 75-08-13. I had no
option but to replace 74-10-19 (which appeared on the Grateful Dead
Movie CD) with 74-10-20 (which has not been on a commercial CD so far
as I can tell). That is too bad -- Eric thinks the 74-10-19 Eyes was
the best one ever.
The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the
performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs
included in the track. For each show, I tried to cut back to just the
Eyes. Since Eyes usually occurs as part of a longer jam, though, I
often found myself merging Eyes with its neighbors. I joined jams with
"shntool join", and then I retracked and added simple fades using
Wavelab. I fixed up the resulting tracks using shntool, and then I
compressed the files using "flac --best". I used shntool version
3.0.2, flac version 1.1.3, and Wavelab version 6.
