The Eyes have it, as they say. It was 50 years ago last month that the 9/12/73 William and Mary Eyes made me the man I am today.
Things have slowed down for me. But I’m still walking…
Safe travels til we all meet again. Been too long!
Thank you for that, and let me recommend that folks check out the Great Society’s original version (if they haven’t already) for some serious early psychedelia ❤️❤️
Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life…
Take me to a circus tent
Where I can easily pay my rent
Those are two fine selections right there. I remember some deep tracks at JM and Friends in years gone by. I am happier for you all than I can tell.
I think one factor in the current Phish situation is that we are so far removed from Jerry and the GD that the new generation of fans for both bands don’t have the cross pollination that occurred during the ‘90s and early ‘00s. People are more in their respective scenes and those have diverged significantly.
c’est la vie.
The Great Society epitomizes that perfect moment when folk was evolving into acid. Check out their Somebody to Love and Sally Go Round the Roses.
Hell, just get this album. 😃😎
I revived the original review thread for the show on the occasion its 10th anniversary. A lot of good folks (many of whom don’t come around here much anymore) posted to reminisce. It really was that inspiring a show. Lisapen on Lovelight was a performance for the ages.
I will try to dig that up and also go through my CDs. They are in about the same disarray as Billy’s and TBs, I imagine.
That show is still a, if not the, gold standard. It was an honor and a privilege to have been there. If we are known by the company we keep, I was blessed beyond measure that night.
i can’t make any promises but let me see if I can dig something up.
