Grateful Dead ~ Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance ~ 3-14-1981 ~ Hartford Civic Center Hartford CT 

The Dead had such a special little love for Hartford, home to one of the great arenas of its time. Two years later, that St. Stephen in Hartford...fucking beautiful...

I hope they will be discovered and rediscovered for centuries to come.

I love all my Dead brothers and sisters we are a rare breed! 💀⚡️❤️

I was tripping face a couple of summers ago on a canoe with my friend on Saranac Lake and I played this on my phone. Sun was going down and we were trying to find our camp site.

Have this one on tape. Used to listen to this constantly in my 1992 Lincoln town car driving to a past girlfriends who lived 20 minutes away down some of the best country roads you’ll ever see…. Good times

Been listening to the Dead since 70 will never stop.

Just sitting here with a biig joint in the sun and decided to quit my shitty job and do what I want and do, carpentry,at least I'd be happy. Screw contracts I'm out "there's no time to lose ..."

Brents underratedness is so angrily criminal!!!

favorite bobby for sure. the transition" like a Swiss watch" these guys are on . sure do miss the live gig. but we still connect daily and they will never die, immortality, like Shakespeare. that's A comfort. Brent and Jerry we'll see ya when we hat there. so many roads to go.thanks for keeping the music alive through these sites. you strengthen my soul regularly. we will stay strong. peace

Best version of this song, powerful message, fits right in the Dead's mystique.

Wow.... This absolutely blows me away. What a tight, soaring jam between Sailor and Saint.... And Brent's keys and vocals busting through in Saint. Holy shit!

I've been listening to the Grateful Dead since 1989 and I'm still amazed at how talented they were and still hear things I've never heard before. They're like this exploration that never ends. I feel so fortunate to have seen Garcia with the Grateful Dead and JGB.

I've never heard this before, what have I missed??!!!like it a lot.great jam

Perfct artwork for this. I can imagine it morph into other things as it goes on. Great version. Love Brents early days sound!!!

The musical deconstruction and rebuilding of these songs speaks volumes.

You must be the angel I thought I might never find ❤

In my practice I have decided to call it connection - cus it isNo longer just meditation. And I love this guy!

What a great version. I think my uncle was at this show

Absolutely amazing version of lost sailer

I love Lost Sailor. My Dad's a big Procol Harum fan and it reminds me of The Dead's version of A Salty Dog.

One of my favorite songs

A beautiful rendition of a great ballad, the compass card spinning

I don't ever miss them, they IMPRINTED on MY SOUL. SORRY, IT'S 💘.

The quality of the music is just amazing, but they were amazing musicians who love people love to play music.

This goes out to my brothers on the El Faro, Fare winds and following seas! RIP Brothers!

Super band wished I was there😎

Many roads have come and gone but it seams I will never quite be ready so I'ma come back untill we all learn to love our devil back home to heaven so we can close the door behindus, I'm so sorry Aria, you gave me the will to not fight this life away and become a bodhisattva in your honer.love, and I pray you feel my echo

Great version. Vocals are on point and sound quality is top notch. Thanks!

This intro gives me the chills One of Bobby's best 👌

RIP Barlow

A simply beautiful rendition 💀👐💀

Recently found out Shel Silverstein wrote “A boy named Sue” and think his rhymes and cadences could have have been perfect with the dead!

Nice! This is spot on! Long live jerry and Brent!

that collective "yeeeeee" at 10:58. sounds like a bunch of giddy interstellar ex-eunuchs adjusting to their new comparatively more baritone range

Perfect Sailor, Perfect Year, Perfect Vibe.

this was a great show as I recall, thanks

Driftin' an Dreamin'

This is as good as anything Dylan has written!! Bravo, Bob Weir and the Dead!!

Dead were Skullfucker extraordinair. Wow.

Thick sounding air 😮

Wow - TY for posting Was this first or second night? I was at first night only and honestly can't remember all the songs without looking at the set list I know St. S was played on night 2, and I believe a young Trey was in the audience

Kinda sloppy beginning but,nice.And,boy...Bobby's mic was definitely loud enough (and bassy).But,yes...very nice !

Where'd that picture come from? I remember it was a pretty good movie.

By the way music would not be the same if it was recorded digitally.

anybody know anything about the initial image in this video? I'd like to blow that up and nail it to my wall, so I'd like to find a vector image file of that.

This is Weir/Barlow’s magnum opus LOL these songs have everything that is great about Weir’s tunes and are killer AND corny which is his appeal.

my Nick name is the lost sailor...

Saint Of Circumstance... 6:44

Did they ever do this with Bruce?

Lost Sailor band, for a Lost Sailor audience.#Rain Magic.
