The Grateful Dead have shared their original demo for “Eyes Of The World“.
It’s taken from the remastered and expanded 50th anniversary edition of Wake Of The Flood.
Here it is!
Released on September 29 via Rhino, Wake Of The Flood has been newly remastered and expanded with previously unheard material.
A two-CD and digital set features the album’s seven original songs and previously unreleased demo recordings of “Eyes Of The World” and “Here Comes Sunshine”. The set also includes a bonus disc of live material from the final night of a brief tour that immediately followed Wake Of The Flood’s release, recorded at Northwestern University’s McGaw Memorial Hall on November 1, 1973.
Wake Of The Flood will also be released on September 29 as a single 180-gram black vinyl LP and limited edition 12” picture disc; other variants are available at select outlets in the States including Barnes & Noble.
