50th Anniversary Remaster of the debut album from the bands own label, Grateful Dead Records.

With the recent passing of founding member Ron Pigpen McKernan and temporary exit of drummer, Mickey Hart, this 1973 release introduces a fresh lineup that includes newest members Keith and Donna Godchaux on keys and vocals.

FeaturesEyes Of The World, Stella Blue, and Mississippi HalfStep.

The twoCD and set, features the albums 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 34Eyes Of The World.34 It provided the basis of what would become one of the Dead039s most beloved and frequently played songs for the next 2043 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.

Captured at Northwestern Universitys McGaw Memorial Hall on November 1st, 1973, the set is bookended with Weather Report Suite and Mississippi HalfStep, and features one of the most creative and inspired jams of the entire run Morning DewgtPlaying In The BandgtUncle John039s BandgtPlaying In The Band.
