So wonderful. Jerry's guitar takes off like a freight train. Love how they tune for 5 minutes on German TV. Thank you. I listen every morning. Makes me want to greet the day with reckless abandon! "Ah ten Shupe" or whatever Phil yells out in the beginning. Ah ten Shupe indeed! BTW, it starts at 2:00
never even close to top of my favorites list rarely changed from show to show ... rare for a Dead tune lotta sick news lately has me feeling like I needed to hear it
starts a little rough but I Love hearing Brent do that little solo on the moog like in the album with thlittle pitch bend wheel. Not something he did much later on. Jerry's second solo is pretty cool.
Bret ! These were the years I saw the Dead :) funzy fun to dance to - recently learned that they wrote this song cuz they started touring- in the beginning- in Alabama.
So funny. I came across this and settled in for seven minutes of jamming and they took three of those minutes to tune up.....hahahahahahahahah.....Love these guys
Singularly kick-ass Dead jam! The song itself starts at about 2:05; hard-core Deadheads might enjoy the pre-song noise! And Jerry is really ON, so I'll allow him some "poetic license" with his own lyrics!
1985 first exposure to the grateful dead on a tape labeled ROCK SOUTHERN STYLE , Now the dead is forever tattooed in my arm !!!!!!!!! Steal your face !!
way to low-key mention w/o mentioning that they gave Tennessee a way better billing than Alabama despite never playing in Tennessee (or did they finally get there their last few years). not obsessive enough to research it.
Frank Zappa band had everything tuned when they came on stage The Dead took 20 minutes sometimes to tune and no that's not a joke i wish they had guitar tuners in them days
as for hater above, if ya can't dig it . . . leave it. if the bud didn't teach you that, maybe the buddha will . . . or not. actually what the songs about i think. I Loved hearing Keith play the piano, among the greatest rock and roll piano players ever, but sometimes ya just gotta get down and leave and walk away. . .
You might want to think that, but the Grateful Dead have toured in places such as Germany, England, France, and Egypt as well as the United States. Even though they are MOSTLY worshipped in the USA, this doesn't mean they're not one of the greatest bands.
I like the studio version better it is faster with a rock beat not a hippy beat and the solo's are too long here and not too tight- the studio version is so much more check berry
April 80 is best when Bob wears the bunny ears I don't know the exact date I can't even find it on you tube studio is tight too so is this one I love hearing anything by them cause you just can't predict what they are going to do
Don't get me wrong, I like some of their songs (some others are for me unbearable). And I beg your pardon: also Barry Manilow, Peter Frampton or Europe have toured the world and that doesn't mean they are good! Besides, what taylorfish25 writes is simply crap, that's why I replied him. They are really different, but GD don't stand along Stones, Kinks et al. The greatest rock/pop act ever to come from the USA is Bob Dylan. He's not my idol, but he's your best one.
What the hell are you talking about, boy? GD haven't marked a milestone in rock music like RS, Beatles or The Who did. They are only worshipped in the USA, but in the rest of the world they remain mainly unnoticed. Being the most genuine American band doesn't mean they are the world's best!! The Earth has got more than 50 states, never forget it.
@dimpledick3inch I've seen deadheads, they were in San Diego one time and I remember how terrible their body odor was when I walked in the store. It was phucking rancid, they all smelled like a backed up toilet or something.
you just dropped into tell folks they stink? posing as a BagOfRats maybe makin' you grumpy! pose as flowers in spring or something a bit more festive and the neighborhood might taste better
