Guest Appearance by Branford Marsalis on Tenor & Soprano Saxophone.

This performance is such a mosaic and the theme Eyes of the World makes it seem even more relevant as a mosaic and the lyrics mirror that theme.There are 6 musicians with special guest Branford Marsalis on saxophone.

@haroldjacobs1490 5 ай бұрын

The number of players for this was seven. Two drummers, keyboards, bassist, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and sax. The reason it sounds like so many instruments is that the two drummers had all kinds of drums, and all the bells and whistles, including electronics, Jerry had a foot console that let him play something like 20 instruments like flutes horns strings, using the guitar. When the band came into town we gathered like a tribe for the event

I tweaked my back earlier today and while I'm waiting for the drugs to kick in, you post this - Perfect!! Knowing the LP versions of songs are good to listen to so you can hear just how much fun they are having with them. You now understand why there was nothing like a Grateful Dead show/tour.

This always has sounded more like David Sanborn jamming with George Benson than the Dead to me. Jazzy AF! The Dead are so multi dimensional that they pull it off with ease. Never my favorite band, I saw them many times with my brother, who was the deadhead of the 20th century. I miss the old boy still.

I was at this Nassau Coliseum show, an amazing experience. I heard Branford later say in an interview that he had never heard the Dead's music before, but was able to pick up the flow due to the band's jazz-influenced style. I actually met Branford before one of his shows at Yoshi's jazz club in Oakland, CA. Oddly, we didn't talk music or his sit-ins with the Dead. We talked baseball. He's a well-known Mets fan and was wearing his omnipresent blue Mets hat. I'm a life-long Yankees fan, and both teams were in the playoffs at the time. I asked him if he thought there would be a "Subway World Series"? He said the Mets would be in it, but not the Yanks. Well, there was a NY subway WS, in which the Yankees clobbered the Mets 4 games to 1. Sorry, Branford ;-)

@phantomtides1204 3 ай бұрын

@BrianThe Deadhead I was there too! As for Branford sitting in cold, the solos in Eyes of the World are just E/A/E/A, so it's not exactly challenging for a guy like Branford. (Bird Song, from the first set, is basically the same. Only Estimated Prophet in the second set has complex chords, but even then the solo is just C/F/G. The rest of the tunes are pretty basic.) Definitely in my top GD experiences out of 150+ shows!

This particular recording of "Eyes" with Branford Marsalis (on sax) was always one of my favorite jams from the Dead. Jerry's jamming on it always sounds like "glass" or something -- just beautiful. Thanks for reacting to it!

@bobschenkel7921 5 ай бұрын

Bless you Sifa. Been listening to the Grateful Dead since the late 1970's, and I've heard a lot of different versions of "Eyes". The first time I heard this version I knew right away that it was a slight improvement, because of Branford Marsalis' presence on the recording. Jerry's singing and playing are right on point, as are the rest of the boys. This concert was nearby your location, Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. They could even make that venue sound good.

2 guitars, 1 bass. 2 drummers. 1 keyboards. The horn was a guest for this night but he made this version. Jerry invited him. The flute was a guitar. I never went anywhere before I was 19. By 23, I had been to 46/50 states. I had no money. My parents gave me nothing. Im not saying I did everything legal but I never sold anything that hurt anyone. I made all my own money on tour and worked everyday to get my young ass around the country to see this band.

And I’m pretty sure this was the first time that the saxophone player Branford Marsalis had ever played with the Grateful Dead. He certainly didn’t know the songs meaning that he hadn’t rehearse them or listen to them as far as I know. He may have listened to the Grateful Dead, but as far as I know, he wasn’t a deadhead or someone that put their music on all the time.

Branford Marsalis became a 6th member of the Dead based on his great performance on 3 29 90. He performed with the Dead and before them with his own band) at many venues across the U.S. He brought a sound, the band which had other saxists with them before, loved.

Colleges, theaters, halls, bars - most before stadiums - it was relatively cheap - pile 6 into an old car, crash at someones friends room, apt or dorm- ticket prices were like $7 - if that.

Always fun to watch you discover more Dead. You should consider a mini deep dive on this song, and listen to the studio version - and then one from ‘73/‘74. Some of the signature sounds from then, more prominent bass, only one drummer, cleaner mix, and intensely jazzy and with a portion of the song they dropped after 74.

Phil Lesh introduced his fellow musicians to Branford. Branford never played any Dead tunes before. He was only expected to perform one song, going off the vibes of Jerry and Brent. He took it to new heights and went on to play most of that second set. And Billy and Mickey played many different percussive types in their songs. They could easily have over 100 instruments, between the two of them, playing jazz, blues, rock, world music, etc. They tore it up with their drums.
