Eyes of the World, 2/12/06 ☮ Trey & Joan w/ Phil Lesh

Trey Anastasio (of Phish) singing lead vocals on the Grateful Dead's "Eyes of the World" with Joan Osborne, Phil Lesh & friends at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on Feb. 12, 2006.

This is a Matrix recording (aud & soundboard mix). The whole show can be downloaded (for free) directly from Live Archive at:

This was one incredible show. It was a snowy evening in NYC, Phil had "lost his voice" so Trey & Joan and the rest of the band took turns singing leads and harmonies on many great Dead songs as well as classics like Bob Dylan's "Bucket of Rain" & "All Along the Watchtower", the Band's "Up on Cripple Creek," Rolling Stone's "Gimme Shelter" and more...

AND... Trey played guitar masterfully, but don't take my word for it, listen and see for yourself.

Peace

Eyes of the World

Right outside this lazy summer home
you don't have time to call your soul a critic, no
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home
wondering where the nuthatch winters
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away

Wake up to find out
that you are the Eyes of the World
but the heart has its beaches
its homeland and thoughts of its own

Wake now, discover that you
are the song that the morning brings
but the heart has its seasons
its evenings and songs of its own

There comes a redeemer
and he slowly too fades away
There follows a wagon behind him
that's loaded with clay
and the seeds that were silent
all burst into bloom and decay
The night comes so quiet
and it's close on the heels of the day

Wake up to find out
that you are the eyes of the world
but the heart has its beaches
its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you
are the song that the morning brings
but the heart has its seasons
its evenings and songs of its own

Sometimes we live no
particular way but our own
Sometimes we visit your country
and live in your home

Sometimes we ride on your horses
Sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear
are just songs of our own

Wake up to find out
that you are the eyes of the world
but the heart has its beaches
its homeland and thoughts of its own

Wake now, discover that you
are the song that the morning brings
but the heart has its seasons
its evenings and songs of its own
