Pro-Shot Video: Holly Bowling & Tom Hamilton Perform ‘Eyes Of The World’

Pianist Holly Bowling played the Ardmore Music Hall near Philadelphia back on October 18. American Babies/Joe Russo’s Almost Dead guitarist Tom Hamilton kicked off the festivities and jammed with Bowling later in the night. Pro-shot video featuring a highlight of the collaboration has been posted

Tom’s opening set in his hometown saw him joined by guitarist Raina Mullen. Hamilton and Mullen played a set that included a number of American Babies songs and Alice In Chains’ “Got Me Wrong.” Holly kicked off her first set with “China Cat Rider,” which gave way to interpretations of “Swept Away” > “Steep” and “Fast Enough For You” by Phish. Bowling brought out Tom Hamilton after treating the crowd to her recently debuted original, “Proxima B.”

Up first from the Holly/THam pairing was a gorgeous, 20-minute rendition of the Grateful Dead’s “Eyes Of The World.” Bowling and Hamilton worked in “Slipknot” within “Eyes Of The World.” Tom played the riff first and Holly immediately followed along to great success. Here’s pro-shot video of the entire sequence:
