Setlist: Morning Dew Hard To Handle China Cat Sunflower I Know You Rider Deal Black Peter Sugar Magnolia Sing Me Back Home A Brokedown House Production
The Dead created far more music than I can get to, even after being a lifelong Deadhead in my 60’s I’m so grateful for the technology that provides access to this priceless archive, and for all you folks who present it to me , Thanks!!!
Thought this was nice to read while listening - from Jerry Garcia: "We went over there to do a big festival, a free festival they were gonna have, but the festival was rained out. It flooded. We stayed at this little chateau which is owned by a film score composer who has a 16-track recording studio built into the chateau, and this is a chateau that Chopin once lived in; really old, just delightful, out in the country near the town of Auvers-sur-Oise, which is where Vincent van Gogh is buried. We were there with nothing to do: France, a 16-track recording studio upstairs, all our gear, ready to play, and nothing to do. So, we decided to play at the chateau itself, out in the back, in the grass, with a swimming pool, just play into the hills. We didn't even play to hippies, we played to a handful of townspeople in Auvers. We played and the people came - the chief of police, the fire department, just everybody. It was an event and everybody just had a hell of a time - got drunk, fell in the pool. It was great."
J'ai eu la chance d'assister à ce concert improvisé par le groupe après le festival raté pour cause de déluge de pluie à Auvers sur Oise la veille...Un très bon souvenir de musique et de ma jeunesse.....de 21 ans....
vous été lá? wow, ca devait d 'etre un reve, quel souvenirs dans ce cas. Meme il y a une BD sur ce concert et sur le Magne et le chateau. ps: desolé, mon clavier c'est pas francais.

Jerry Garcia’s talk reminds me why he is still one of my favorite philosopher/saints. A government can bomb and kill but this is not true power. True power is about building something good and beautiful. Over 45 years later Jerry’s words still shine like diamonds. Thanks voodoonola. RIP Jerry.
50 years ago today. One of the most amazing eras for the Grateful Dead. The quintessential quintet. Make that guitar sing Jerry. Pure tone healing the souls of so many. I feel so fortunate to have seen them ten times that year. And now we are Old and in the way. Looks like the band couldn’t “Keep off the Grass” that night. France 1971? I’m willing to bet someone helped to fix their hash. I must be another dopeless hope fiend.
Je viens de découvrir grâce au concert de Mélany Gardot de 2018 l'existence du Château d'Hérouville et de sa magnifique histoire avec la musique. On doit ce lieu à ce cher monsieur disparu tragiquement après un suicide Michel Magne. IL semble avoir investi beaucoup de sa vie et son être mais que malheureusement par sa grande générosité et surtout les alinéas du business et du rendement financier même dans le domaine musical et artistique lui ont fait vivre quelques déboires, ce qui lui sera fatal psychologiquement. Mais grâce aux archives pour preuve sa mémoire perdure.
@@AnthonyMonaghanJerry was the heart & Pigpen was the soul. Jerry said he had thought that it was all over when Pigpen died. I don't know if he ever clarified if that meant something he was afraid of at first or if it was just how he felt.
@@royferguson3909 What a stupid ignorant comment trying to be edgy like a stupid kid. I completely agree with the man. It was the years when Pig Pen was strong and the Acid Dead were at their most dynamic and impactful. You probably like the burned out mellow depressed mediocrity of 1972 to 1975 before the y found creativity again with jazz rock and Blues for Allah. Go back to the Beach Boys.
Gods. This, right here? THIS is the band I fell in love with all those years ago. Well, actually I'd fallen in love with 'em about five years earlier, but this is just about when it all peaked.
Thank "God" for someone posting this !!! We Seriously do NOT have enough video footage of Pigpen !!! I missed him by about 3 years :( :( :( My first show was at Hollywood Bowl in 74 ! I was only 12 years old ! :) Well,at least I got to hear ThE Wall !! :) :)
The band were supposed to play at a festival in France, and stayed at the Chateau Herouville, a mansion/recording studio. The Festival was rained off so they did an impromptu show on the mansion grounds instead.
Working my way through '71 shows and I love this year. Possibly even better than '72 because it is even fresher despite the greater development in the following year.
@@CosmicClaire99 Well said; it was a major shift forward. I detected a brilliance then through '72 and then they slowed down more for some reason in '73-'74. They talked and joked with the audience more before '74 as well. There were moments of greatness later, but that flash of energy and great new songs back then was unmistakable.
@@namcat53 Yeah, that arc from after Altamont to Pigpen dying is a discrete period in its own right. A new departure from the primal Dead of the late sixties into what for me is the golden era of the band.
@@CosmicClaire99 Exactly right. Their evolution reached a peak then, incorporating all that came before. All those musical influences and experiences each band member brought into this amazing band flowered at one point. I'm glad they didn't fire Bobby and Pigpen. We're lucky people recorded so many shows during that time; so many other groups didn't and those of us who were around then are lucky to have experienced The Grateful Dead in person. Even now it seems unbelievable and difficult to describe. What a band! I didn't see Miles Davis in a small cub in 1958, but I got to see the Grateful Dead in 1972. Pretty cool.
OMG, you who posted this! I have had this on cassette for many, many moons and have recently lent out and not got back....This one contained my favorite version of Sing Me Back Home by Merle Haggard....It's so beautiful....and so are you! Thanks!!!!
Glory hallelujah. Are you kidding me?! I've ached to see this show for 40 years. Pig at the wheel; the band in perfect form; honoring roots music with a psychedelic kick. Extended golf claps for the poster. Thankee. Peace out.
When I was a liitle hippy child I caught a ride to France 🇫🇷 with the grateful dead and then had to find my way back across the Atlantic 🍰 it's seems like yesterday but it's been fifty years !
I was in a band called Bubastis (I was previously in the band East of Eden) and we were booked to appear at the Festival which was rained off. We ended up staying in the Chateau d'Herouville with the Grateful Dead for several days. Phil Lesh and Bob Weir were very friendly, although Jerry Garcia didn't say much, but he did jam with us in the recording studio one afternoon.
Geoff, this must have been the tail end of your days with East Of Eden, or maybe you had moved on already. Have a couple of albums, including Snafu, which was recorded when you were the lead guitarist. Lp's not so easy to find here in the states
I am a musician, 12+ yrs classical/jazz piano + other instruments. This is rare, mostly color footage from 1971, (Garcia 28 yrs old) ... Ya have to appreciate it for what it is... Having an occasional raw, 'out of tune' sound was what made the Dead a great band.. They played 200+ nights a year for decades.. you can't go 4-5 with 2 HR's and 5 RBI's every night... This is amazing, clear footage with close ups of the guys... effin spectacular!
Thanks Great Thanks for the Wonderful Share. Peeled the years away and joined The Band at the Chateau. It was STELLAR 💫 ✨ 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 ...perfect night for star gazing w/ a new moon 🌚 in Aries ♈️ 🥰✌🏻💙⚡️❤️💎🦋🐉
Thank You Voodoonola for this unpolished gem...just how I like my Dead......raw upasteurized sonic assault....a 30yr acid test........leave your baggage at the door.....the music will transport you to another dimension.......
Sometimes I forget just how Great the Dead back then. Man I Love the Dead.Thanks so much for sharing. This is truly great footage. If the world just listen .
France caught a great show in 1971! A pleasure watching Pig Pen doing his thing. The boys sure look like they were having fun. Thanks so much for this post. Eternally Grateful!!!!!
I live between Ithaca and Watkins glen N.Y. in the finger lakes......home of Cornell 77' and jam at the glenn 73'. I, unfortunately was too young to attend either 😢but in my heart and soul, i was there. Im 53 years old now with many, many shows and great memories under my belt. I cant go a single day without listening to the dead, its hard to explain. Their music is woven into my existence. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful piece of their history. Long live the"good ol' grateful dead"😊
"He has all the negative power, the power to kill. Which is actually the absence of power, because it cannot build up." Says Jerry at about 55m. What a smart man he was. Seldom heard him talk in such a "sober" and simple way. Must be a genius to be able to do so.
the relevance of how his words transend to the current situation is amazing. I remember hearing once someone say "you can change the world with peace but destroy the revolution with violence"
"Sing me away, and turn back the years" Many thanks for posting this fabulous jam in the garden. Also liked Jerry's comments about negative energy "One way or another this darkness has got to give"
I am reading Bill Kreutmann's book, "DEAL", where he details this trip to France, among other crazy fun stories about his long strange trip with the Dead. So great. He calls this their first "French Acid Test"...
Their togetherness on this one to me is a perfect example of how LSD can put musicians on a higher level of connection. They change so perfectly together because their communication with each other is pretty much telepathic. All you true dead heads will know exactly what I'm talking about
Amazing that this is available, I'm very grateful to everyone involved in preserving and presenting this! And I love the wizard of oz-ish black and white into color...
I love the "sing me back home" the end. I'm always curious about hearing Ron playing keys, and I can hear him on this one. Sounds great. So heartfelt. How cool would it be if he was singing harmonies too
There’s a tape out there of a very early Viola Lee Blues where pig sings bobs part, but is too drunk, keeps messing up and leaves, which is why bobby sings on it. A studio version of On the Road Again from the early days also has him singing in the backup harmonies and playing perhaps the meanest sounding harp he ever played
So great! That Sing me back home give me chills. That interview is so good at the end too. Wish I had a version with out the translation. This was such a great time for Jerry, the black bear. Thanks for posting, soooooo good!!
Welcome, Brother! In addition to the fine offerings of youtube, I'd also recommend archive.org. They have basically every recording there is of the Dead there, including early acid test recordings, studio outtakes, and both soundboards and audience tapes.
@@christopherlaskoski189 manufactured insanity it is, indeed! Be brave! Lots of flailing idiots out there pretending to be thinking adults. Glad I have my family, cannabis, and a healthy dgaf attitude.
in the hard to handle after the band gets together in a peak, it seperates into some graphic stuff and you hear a tiny st. stephen tease before that kinda lovely 71 esque second movement. this is an awesome predecessor to that godly version on 08-07
make no mistake... the Hollywood Paladium performance of HTH is absolutely godly. been searching for one that matches is caliber ever since i heard it. Great callout on this predecessor!
A year before their much celebrated 1972 tour of Europe which I managed to hitchhike to no less than 7 glorious gigs in England,including the rained down historical unique Bickershaw Festival with the New Riders of the Purple Sage "cloud clearing magic",among the outmost countercultural illuminates,there was the Dead,still steaming with Pig Pen's full throbbing soulfulness funk!
Bon dia E., quina sort vares tenir d´esser hi ...bé, millor dit, la sort es busca i tu sempre has buscat, doncs llavors no es sort sinó cerca, quelcom de diferent... aprofito que soc el visitant 1954, any de la meva matriculació com deia el vell amic i mestre Mario L. per congratular me de la difussió que fas en red de concerts històrics i pioners, adients per el joven que trepitja darrera nostre i que no va tenir ocassió de estar en aquelles mogudes. Per la meva banda tant sols he gaudit dels Dead via vinils, però ara , gràcies al difusor internàutic de Castellfollit, visualitgo frames mai vistos per els meus ulls... està bé, també ho es pensar amb el cor i escoltar amb la ment, no creus , je, je, ? Demà seré per el matí a la capital empordanesa , Fira del Joguet obliga, sempre es veuen coses interessants, velles andròmines, i demès... agafa a la R. i dona un volt si et convé. Salut ! i canya al mono... r-net
+Eliseu Huertas Cos I read a 17 year old Elvis Costello was in attendance of that concert also and he stated that the Gratefuk Dead left a huge impression on him, although his music isn't my cup of tea but that's irrelavent. Eliseu i envy you being able to say i was there. I'd give my eye teeth :) cheers!
RIP Jerry and Pig Pen, your music will live on forever. As a 16 year old, I'm surrounded by friends who listen to what I consider (and in the words of Bob Dylan) artificially made music. Quite frankly, I can't stand any of it. Hearing the Dead sends shivers through my body, they were so into the music. Watching and listening to them makes me want to shit all over this generations eletronica horseshit and hop in a time machine and go tour with Jerry and the gang. Your music will always be with me
I'd be interested to hear your takes on the current state of music now that you're in your mid-20s. Obviously there's still a lot of garbage music, but the good stuff is slowly working its way back into the mainstream
I'm 19 now and its got even worse at time went on; do you know what its like to be on acid and have your friends play juice wrld over bob weir singing Jerry's 50 memorial? Not fun.
I never realized how important Keith's piano was to China Cat until listening to this version without him. Still sounds great, but that piano totally rounds out the jam.
Great post! A real treat to see the band while Pig Pen was still with them. It's ironic that the lack of popularity in the pop music world allowed the Dead to flourish as the greatest improv band in rock...not having to reproduce a hit song blow for blow, note for note allowed them to play what they felt whenever they soloed, just like jazz. The songs were the same, but, I don't think I've ever heard them play a single song exactly as in another performance.
Listen to Hard to handle from about 10:30 to 15:00. It is an example of gifted musicians playing at the highest level. It is why the Grateful Dead were not only the best at they do but the only ones to do what they do! On the bus.
The Chateau d'Herouville has an amazing musical history starting with Chopin. Rainbow, Elton John, Bowie, T. Rex, Pink Floyd, Bad Company and Fleetwood Mac all recorded there and many others.
