Grateful Dead - Wake of the Flood 50th Anniversary (2CD)

The two-CD and set, features the album’s seven original songs and previously unreleased demo recordings of “Eyes Of The World” and “Here Comes Sunshine.” Recorded in early 1973, just before the Grateful Dead performed on February 9th, the demos feature Jerry Garcia singing and playing a pair of new songs he and Robert Hunter had been creating. He presumably shared them with the rest of the band members so they could start learning, and amongst these demos was this beautiful, primitive rendition of "Eyes Of The World." It provided the basis of what would become one of the Dead's most beloved and frequently played songs for the next 20+ years. Additionally, the deluxe edition includes a bonus disc of live material from the final night of a brief tour that immediately followed Wake Of The Flood ’s release.
