My favorite Comes a Time of all time. Every aspect is superb from Donna's harmonies, Bobby's harmonics and crazy chord voice leadings, Keith, Phil, drums and that end jam wow. It develops into a life of it's own with Jerry pouring emotion. Thanks for posting this version up
Donna is so good here, She adds so much to them, even in an off night where she couldn't hear herself, there are moments where she just shines...and just goes for it, gotta love that.
They never needed Donna , only the men liked her because u could c through her dress ! Us true Deadheads were there for the guys in the band ! They never needed any backup singer ! ❤️🐰🐇🌹🔥🥀👻👽🪐🛸🚀🔥🌏
WHAT??!?!????? The best decision they ever made was to get rid of her. Every once in a long while she did good, but over all she ABSOLUTELY SUCKED!!!!!!!!
I was never a fan of GD music because I never really listened to it intensely. As a former background singer with Melvin Seals & JGB I am determined to learn all the GD songs that I can. I am now officially a deadhead! First time I listened to this GD song and many more this past weekend. I’m hooked! Line and Sinker ❤
One thing alot of people dont understand about jerry garcia, or the grateful dead for that matter is the raw emotion and true power behind every riff, note, word and melody. that bob, and jerry and phil and mickey wanted to portray when they played their music. when you listen to the music, dont just hear the words, or the solos, hear the pain, heartache and happiness behind every aspect. and it will set you free.
When people are paying good money to see me? Yes, I do perform to the best of my abilities. These guys became so complacent because they knew the venue would fill up no matter what shit they dished out. Some nights there was no passion whatsoever, they were just going through the motions and grabbing their money.
You know it baby. I love you. Happy Thanksgiving 2020. I am thankful for my fellow people, fans, followers, etc. That crowd was home and family. Undoubtedly.... I love you
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Around + around oh reeling + rocking is all I got say ! ❤️🐰🐇🌹☠️💀⚡️👽🪐🛸🚀☄️💥🔥🕊️🪽🪭lady with a fan , I’m a fan of u ! ☀️sunshine day dream 🔥fire on the mountain ! Have a grateful life !
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand Says "don't you see?" Gotta make it somehow On the dreams you still believe Don't give it up You got an empty cup Only love can fill Only love can fill Been walking all morning Went walking all night I can't see much difference Between the dark and light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind To cause so much pain From day to day Just letting it ride You get so far away From how it feels inside You can't let go 'Cause you're afraid to fall But the day may come When you can't feel at al
I think this song is appropriate for every single person on earth. There comes a time for everyone to make changes. No matter the switch. We all hate change, but must do what's necessary, and adapt to constantly changing times....
So much emotion from jerry in this. I can't tell you how much this one song has gotten me through. Getting sober from h then relapse and sober again and I always come back here when I need the feels. Thanks man
This and Mission In The Rain from the same album are Jerry in his perfect space. He loved and lived the most painful ballads. You can't sing them if you can't feel them. The day may come when you can feel it all.
I just saw Furthur perform this song on Sunday at the Greek. I've never seen so many people crying all at once. I don't remember crying that hard since my brother died. What a beautiful song.
Chase, I listen to this song all the time. My mom died this March 23rd out of the blue. My dad on April 23rd out of the blue. Fuck, I lost them both. I love and miss them a lot...They're gone and nothing's gonna bring 'em back...But memories. Comes a time when it's up for all of us peace, Chase.
Brokedown Palace and Black Muddy River are wonderful songs to reflect on loved ones lost. We played Brokedown at my Dad's service and it was beautiful. There is a time for us all but this song to me is a song of introspection, to fill our lives with meaning and love while we still can. Peace and love.
+PlanTonto My mom is slowly dying of cancer. This music is the only thing holding me together right now. Without it I'd probably shatter into a million pieces and no one would ever put me back together. Blessings.
Richie T When she does, you will be shattered inti a million pieces. Get your support ready, I didn't have the luxury, if you want to call it that, to be let down sowly, it was completely unexpected and that has fucked me up the rest of my life Be well, hold her hand, cherish every moment. Make it right and say goodbye.
Miss Jerry forever! ❤💔❤ So much raw emotion. No one can ever elicit emotions both vocally and with the guitar. Don’t miss the notes in between. This is one of the sweetest versions I’ve ever heard. Tears flowing every time. This song has gotten all of us through some very tough times. ✌️💚
It still makes me cry too because I was so inlove with him plus he was to me also ! What rockstar comes half way across the county to find u ? He tried but went to the wrong island for me but nobody knew him so he had a restful vacation ! 🌹🐰🐇☠️💀⚡️🥲🪽
Sitting here in limbo, with tears listing to COMES A TIME. The beauty and magical voice of JERRY, will bring a smile like no other to my face, with tears. I love and will forever miss that beautiful soul
Oh hell.....I don't even mind when Donna Jean is a having maybe a slightly off night. This is the best line up of the Dead. Wouldn't trade Donna Jean for anybody.
The great cellist, Yo Yo Ma, once noted that the difference between a good musician and a great one is the space between the notes. Listen to Jerry's solo for the best demonstration of that. He makes it sound effortless. That's what the best do: make it look easy. I just discovered this recording. It's wonderful. Thanks to whoever posted it!
So sad that the remaining members took all the music down on the internet to cash in. Jerry would be pissed. But now he’s playing and singing into his next adventure. I hope I meet him again on that sure plane
Possibly, the greatest 11 mins of live music ever played. I’ve been listening to the Dead since ‘84. Seen a lot of shows, Dead and others. Back in the day, I had over 750 tapes. I’m not saying this is my absolute favorite moment in Grateful Dead history, but, I think it’s their perfect moment. Jerry’s first, short and very simple solo, after the 2nd verse, is absolutely perfect! Not mind bending, just Jer and Keith, playing the simplest stuff ever, but perfectly. The final note, floating up and away into a beautiful silence as Jerry sings “day to day...”. Not exactly Coltrane’s Giant Steps, but just right, to my ears, at least. The ending jam is not something I can explain in words. All I can say is, it’s original, simple, unlike anything anybody else would play, and absolutely Perfect! Grateful Dead-Goddamn, do I Declare!!!
Rest in peace, Mr. Garcia. Listening to this, one of my favorite pieces of music of any band, on what would be the man's 78th. He's smiling down on all of us
Did you figure it out bro? The Lyndon I know is in a Lil bit better place. His son just graduated college, yet he struggles, wants to be better, the demons......the demons
this song will be forgotten like the the dead sea scrolls, like the libraries of alexandria. this song like so many are not commercial nobody gives a damn, but too us it saves us it they are us. peace to us
I put the headphones on this morning and thought, " oh. this must be either a studio version I've never heard, where they did some arrangement variations - or." then I hear jerry's voice, and I'm thinking, "is this some lost sober period I somehow forgot about?" (Because it's obviously Donna and Keith, but now I'm thinking - "OK, harmonics going on sound more like something Tom Konstantan would do". and half way through song, I can't make heads or tails of how what I'm listening to has been put together. then I discover it's a live recording from a concert? -what? can you imagine the popularity and overall impact of this band on contemporary music had band members been less "free-form" with their personal lives? I mean, I'm no anti drug person. I am 56 and still do my share, but this band - talk about genius. putting something like this together and it just happens to be another night on stage. like so many others. and they pull this off? un-fucking believable.
And all these years that I have known that 1977 was my best, favorite year, it took me until now (whenever that is) to realize that 77 was my favorite year partially because the Dead were rockin' it as well. Celebrating 50 years (Springfield, Massachusetts 1973) and still rockin' an' rollin' in what's left of the free world. No regrets, souvenirs? ticket stubs and a few sun rotted t-shirts, photographs? None that I took myself but a huge multiverse full of awesome memories. All the things I planned to do I only did halfway, most of what I used to remember pushed out of my ears- there is room in my head for nothing but song lyrics- many sung by the Dead. Love, respect, peace and happiness to all- the more that you can gather is just more that you can lose- thanks for the memories- my heart (broken) is warm🕊️🎼🙏🕉️🙏🃏🎵🗝️🌬️🌀⚡⚡🎶🛠️🍁🍃🍂🦂💫🏴☠️🙏🕉️🙏®️
this might shock and amaze ya, but i couldn't agree more with this statement by jfrazier. phew! may 77! he was on another level during those days. through the roof. through the stratosphere. through it all.
"When the words come out Like an angry stream You hear yourself say Things you could never mean When the heat cools down And you find your mind You got a lot of words You've got to stand behind"
My son jest got 'accepted' into a Masters program in Epidemiology...i know what that means! He credited lil' ol' ME for pushing him! Jake is AWESUMMABLE!
jerry's solo in this particular version is one for the ages.... This song is just one of the most beautiful pieces of music to grace my ears. Thank you Jerry, Phil, Bob, Mickey, Billy, Keith and Donna.
What they do not understand is that when they ruin a masterpiece like Comes a time 5/9/77 with a fucking advertisement right in the middle of the song I make a mental note to never purchase whatever product they are selling...in fact I become a champion of protest against such a shit product.
Not a huge fan of the donna and keith days. Still love em and there the best . But they did have donna tell jerry they were gonna be part of the band. No invite nothing and they destroyed every hotel room they got. My man jerry just chilled he gave all he had and he def is always. The best.
Chase, from one intrepid traveler to another, thanks for these wonderufl videos. Oh that which was May 1977, if only I had known.......only caught Englishtown that year. But May, that of St. Paul, Ithaca, Buffalo, Hartford, NYC........omg, omg - simply amazing.
Pictures fromMaybeck's Palace of Fine Arts Lagoon. Very appropriate as the Dad were consciously continuing the Bay Area Transcendental artistic foundation, of which Maybeck was perhaps the most articulate early artist, Jerry the most articulate recent one
Grateful The Dead were introduced to me! Nothing has ever touched my heart so purely and perfectly.....Don't give it up, you've got an empty cup that only love can fill...
I can't believe it's been all these years.... I don't listen much anymore.... I can't explain it.... I hung out with Bobby while at The Ohio State University in The Hyatt at Capital Square night before Buckeye Lake '93..... Jack Straw Foolish Heart Bobby had some nuggs and He Twisted We Shouted! Still Dead After All These Years!!!
20 days and I will be home in my beloved California. We got a lot of work to do to make us home again. My messages is. People get ready. We may have love but the world is full of hate and greed. I will be spreading the message. Hope of peace. Prepare for a wars against evil. Peace 🎶 8888
The rat bastard bot that released its wholly disrespectful algorithm and deployed a commercial just before take off at 7:07:00 should be cast into the depths of botting hell and forced to scour Nickelback videos for the remainder of its existence.
