Once in a packed bar I played "Blow Away" on the juke & I believe I out did you!!! I was bawlin like a baby & had to hit john for a wealth of schnott paper. All true.
Magical. It just tumbles out of him, don't it. Effortlessly dropping precious jewels from moment to moment, we just haven't had too many people like that in any genre of music. I'm a fan of them all and plenty happy at a Furthur concert, but Garcia was just a gift to this planet.
The song I used to listened to by Bob Dylan, over 45 years ago, which reminds me now when I was young. Oh ! missing those young and beautiful days !!! Thanks for your uploading by Grateful Dead which is also my favorite.
what always impressed me about this is that Bobby can remember all the words to this song, when the Dead didn't do it very often and it's 100 verses long, and Bobby has to remember all the lyrics from a million other Dead songs as well.
their best days were between 77 and early 90, not saying that they were not good the other times, the 90s brought some really good shows as well, but the Brent years for me were the best.
@@LIZZIE-lizzie It was kinda the point, I was being a little sarcastic lol, but I love the 72 run and 74 run, then the 77/78, I just love the dead and they have good shows through their entire career but 95 was just so sad but still has it's gems
"And you can hear it blow." And I thought I was the only one. I played this song in the Saguaro National Park outside of Tuscon where I just opened the windows and just blared this song for everything in nature to hear. That was a memorable day.
February 9, 2020 The real Grateful Dead ended with the death of Pigpen. I met Jerry in 1971 March 21, at the Rhode Island Auditorium .Pigpen was still playing with the band.This was my first live show. Jerry was setting on the edge of the stage and I walked up to him and he smiled at me. I shook his hand and then asked him if I could sit behind the amps. He let me get behind the amps and Bear was sound man and was dropping liquid acid on the back of your hand and then you licked off. I hooked up with his Rhode Island acid connection and had a steady supply,until they busted him. I found other people who had acid and keep taking it up till this day. Acid built the wall of sound, Bear dreamed of that sound system, until he got it built.We kept the band going for years selling acid,until the masses discovered them. Four original members are alive, so better go see any of them as soon as you can. In the end, we loved Jerry to death. Though the ripple still keeps spreading. I love all my sisters and brothers, old and young who still believe the dream continues. ⚡️🎸⚡️🖖🏽⚡️🎸
gotta love it, music is to each person a beauty unto itself... comparisons are meaningless because they are not music... love yourselves + each other and if you can't then at least treat each other with common decency and respect... When some civilization digs us up they will think that most folks listened to Jerry because he was recorded (including the tapers) more than any human, . And remember, in the end it was Jerry's chemical romance that did him in. Move on to more important things!
Every version the Dead played of Desolation row is a treat . At least for me , Its one of their finer - americana - songs . And it wasnt a Dead original This band really had keyboard ' naturals ' playing that instrument . Brent is still an absolute treat to hear . His playing was so classy . So joyful .......
Tonight I am at the Crowne Plaza Ventura, CA.... as I look over towards the fairgrounds and down at the boardwalk its not the darkness i see, just the ship of light :D Really, really had a really good time :)
this show was from alpine....and yes...it absolutly is jerry at the 5;26 mark....'you can hear him blow"...he pops in at the end of the next verse as well...brent was kickass but give the credit where its due folks
giants/n.j. 1989 crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy show w/ crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy weather a tornado touchdown a few towns away the promoter i think john scher went on mic during set break and told people to take cover in the halls or under the mez people who were already freaking out were really freaking out by then -good times
They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance one hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants and the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go as Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row. Cinderella, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style and in comes Romeo, he's moaning "You Belong to Me I Believe" And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend You Better leave" and the only sound that's left After the ambulances go is Cinderella sweeping up On Desolation Row Now the moon is almost hidden the stars are beginning to hide The fortune telling lady Has even taken all her things inside All except for Cain and Abel and the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is making love or else expecting rain And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing he's getting ready for the show He's going to the carnival tonight On Desolation Row Now Ophelia, she's neath the window for her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday she already is an old maid To her, death is quite romantic she wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow She spend her time peeking Into Desolation Row Einstein disguised as Robin Hood with his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago with his friend, a jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful as he bummed a cigarette As he went off sniffing drainpipes and reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him but he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row Dr. Filth, he keeps his world inside of a leather cup But all his sexless patients they're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser she's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" They all play on the penny whistles you can hear then blow If you lean your head out far enough From Desolation Row
This was always one of my favorite Bobby (doing Dylan) songs. The lyrics are fan-friggin-tastic too. Thanks for posting this, it takes me back to shows that I only half-remember. ;-p
I think he's describing people familiar to himself in riddles. That's what I get out of the last verse, which is cut from this clip ("Yes, I received your letter yesterday..."). I doubt Dylan will ever say, so we have to look at it ourselves. ...one of my favorite Dylan songs, and a great Dead cover.
If you want to get technical, The Dead is a cover band. The remaining members of the Grateful Dead tour playing your favorite dead tunes and dead covers. The Grateful Dead STILL make more money on merchandise that MCR will make in two lifetimes.
@gksnow2700 its 89 this video looks like it was taken from the "downhill from here" dvd which was shot in july of 89...I wish there was more from that dvd here on youtube...it rocks!!!
How can Bobby remember the lyrics to a 10 minute Dylan song (that he didn't write), and yet mess up Truckin' again and again. Too bad the song cuts out before the end!
Joe Mallett hell yah I was just telling someone, the grateful dead, specifically Bobby and Jerry deserve some sort of reward for taking dylans beautiful, rock genre changing songs and simple poetry. and gave the world the unique instrumental touch of love and profound musicianship that Dylan nay have lacked as a live artist. and thank God they did. listen to dead Dylan covers. it's like a fucking gospel. one love brother
Dave Williams yah everyone has covered Dylan. Some quite well as you mentioned. But I'm saying no band consistently and so thoroughly covered Dylans catalog for decades like the dead. They were pretty much Dylan cover band plus many more things obviously. Jerry and Bob had a passion for Dylan that I think is apparent. That's what I'm really saying
bob was trying to evoke t.s. eliot's wasteland and allen ginsberg's howl into an epic song. certainly his new york pedigree in his formative years (artistically) contributed greatly to the song, but this was more of an amalgam of bob's fusion of stream of consciousness poetry with nuanced poems, the liks of ginsberg and eliot. he didn't just write it on a street corner, rather sought to make the first real epic rock song that fused brilliant poetry with an electric sound. :)
aghhhhhhhh wtf... it gets cut off?? someone could have atleast warned me!! * throwing my arms up in disatisfaction.. it was like almost reaching the climax and just being cut off!!
props for not having the sound malfunctions in this recording, version of the recording. it doesn't really make sense to me. since it's the same video. but it's nice to hear it without it however you pulled it off
