My high school Engish teacher turned me on to The Dead in 1977, with "Working Man's Dead". In 1978, I gripped on their concert at The Summit in Houston (and discovered Uncle Sid at the same time). In 1979, my roommate in Santa Fe, with a Saab 900, made "Shakedown Street" a part of my life's sound track, as we cruised the Basin Road on mushrooms and watched thunderstorms from above. In 1982, I saw them at Red Rocks from up in the Flagship, while happening with Red Dragon blotter. Several years late, I was working a show in Galveston, when my soon-to-be 2nd wife came to do time at the dorm. The local radio station was featuring a midnight full disc of The Dead, and I looked at my squeeze and said, "Wouldn't it be great if they played Terapin Station?" And they did. In fact, The Dead figure into many of my most memorable moments in life, and Uncle Sid was almost always with them. I suppose I have to thank them for cracking my skull wide open, and to you guys for bringing that all flooding back in to my mind 10,000 miles and a 1,000 years away from those times. Cheers~

The intro was actually from The Great American Music Hall, also in San Francisco, on 8/13/75, from their release One From The Vault. It was Mr. Bill Graham, the man, the myth, the legend. The 26,400 Watts of amplification on The Wall Of Sound was provided by McIntosh Audio. The amps were purchased just before The Dead's concert with The Band and The Allman Brothers Band at Watkins Glen, N.Y.. Tom's last name is pronounced Con-stan-ten. i met him at one of his shows in Pennsylvania and was talking to him for about ten minutes, oh yeah i got his autograph too. And BTW, my Dad's next door neighbors in his freshman college dorm at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va. was future NBC newsman Roger Mudd and author of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Mr. Tom Wolfe.

@@queral58 Sam Cutler has commented that the band stopped being in "the red" at some point after he had been road manager or I think he said as much. Of course, we know that they made the most money from touring. Some groups went broke on tours with all the dancers, pyrotechnics, caviar and coke and champagne type of living. The Dead did only officially draw a salary, submitted purchases through the band as something like a corporation for tax purposes. Jerry obviously made the most, from his side projects, but Rock Scully had written how Jerry shoved alot of checks from shows in his glove box or under the seat and such. Jerry was generous and didn't do it for the money for himself. As anyone with a habit, money is necessary but I'm sure that cash collected from promoters did go to generously pay his band and even tipped the waitresses in the clubs as "Deadheads didn't buy drinks but expected free water and wouldn't even tip" just an approximation of the quote. The Dead did take care of their employees/friends and dump a ton of cash into their equipment. There are other things wrong in this interview and some correct. I also believe that Jerry was Spanish, Swedish, and perhaps Irish descent and I never heard German before.

‘He’s Gone’ ‘He’s Gone’ wasn’t actually written about death. Hunter originally penned the lyrics as a jab at everyone within the Dead family who trusted Lenny Hart, the band’s one-time manager and father of drummer Mickey Hart who absconded with the band’s finances around 1970. But as they tend to do, Hunter’s lyrics began to take on new meaning as the band experienced its fair share of passings. First was Pigpen, for whom the song eventually became a eulogy. As figures like Keith Godchaux, Brent Mydland, and eventually Jerry Garcia passed on, ‘He’s Gone’ transformed into a lament for those who had died within the band’s inner circle. Nowadays, ‘He’s Gone’ is less jaunty and more mournful than it was during its initial days on the road. faroutmagazine.co.uk/15-grateful-dead-songs-about-death/

My friend turned me on to the Dead in 82. I didn't like them because he only has bootleg tapes. He came back from Jamaica with some hash and his great home grown and some Purple Dragon from San Francisco. He was getting it from the same place. Well, about 15 minutes after taking the acid, he asked if he could play a Dead song. I said, "well, just one I guess." It played and I said, "That's pretty good, I listen to them if they all sounded that good!" He laughed and said,"keep listening" After around the third song, I said, "ah shit!" and sit down. I listened to everything I could find for the next 8 years, and sold acid. I tore a sheet in half one time, and took the biggest one to go count laundry at Vanderbilt on Christmas day. LOL I had my headphones on and had the best Christmas up until that point! I lived in Nashville all my life and wanted to play guitar. I stayed on drugs for 40 years, started getting clean 7 years ago. I saw four blood moons and knew it was time. My birthday was 9/7 and I'm 63. 9x7=63. Your body rejuvenates itself every 7 years up to nine times. I moved from Nashville back to Richmond in 2015, on my birthday a week and a half ago, I became complete. My mother died 18 months ago, and my prom date from 1977 came to help clean my house. She broke my 1955 Gibson and instead of getting mad, I thought, time to go electric! But, didn't have time to look for one. I took her back to Nashville and before I could get my suitcase out, I had a burgundy Epiphone landed my lap. Too many miracles have happened since then to put them down here. LOL

The most inaccurate comment in this discussion is about Miles Davis opening for the GD. How on earth could you describe him as being "an obscure jazz musician" in 1970 ? He had already redefined jazz in several directions by that time.

Love you guys .. Jon Rice . St. Louis MO. I SAW JERRY Garcia the real Greatful dead band or what was left right before he died. I was in to the Dead before people knew who they were. The towers were impressive and sounded very unique. They always encouraged people to record their shows and always had an area arranged for it . The Dead loved to play the St. Louis Mo. at the fox theater. I remember purple barrel and orange barrel . I was in Mexico and was asked to go see the original Woodstock concert. I was in middle school or so .☮️

@floydawaight49 Год назад

Not to finish Mr. Groubert thoughts, but I feel I should because of it's important place in the whole story and it's influence and it's manifestation. The "Grateful Dead man", the dead man who is grateful that a stranger paid to respectfully bury his body, he then pays the stranger back by secretly helping them reach their intended destination or accomplish the quest that they were on when they first encountered the Deadman. It later manifested it's self in the lives of the Dead Heads. When your quest is or was to experience this band, you often had to travel long distances and along the way a lot of things could go wrong and often do. Especially if you were among the true Dead Heads that traveled with the band. Many times when on this quest, when all hope is lost, a stranger would manifest a solution. Be kind, always, it may come back to you when you need it most.... PeaceOrElse

Jerry and Bob met in Palo Alto in 1963. Bob was living in Atherton and attended Menlo Atherton High School. On New Year’s Eve 1963, Garcia had met 15-year-old Bob Weir, future Grateful Dead guitarist, who later described the fortuitous encounter: “I was wandering the back streets of Palo Alto with a friend when we heard banjo music coming from the back of a music store….It was Garcia waiting for his pupils, unmindful it was New Year’s Eve. We sat down and started jamming and had a great old rave. I had my guitar with me and we played a little and decided to start a jug band.”

Weir and Pigpen were out of the band for 4 months, and Pigpen was still quite good on stage, until late 1972. Weir was not 'the lead singer'. He was one of 3 lead singers, Garcia, Pigpen and Weir.

@AmericasUntoldStories Год назад

C'mon man - you can do better than this: "By 1971, his health had been affected by alcoholism and liver damage and doctors advised him to stop touring. Following a hiatus, he resumed touring with the group in December 1971 but was forced to retire from touring altogether in June 1972. " There is no such thing as "3 lead singers." Have you ever been in a band? Lol. Pigpen was the frontman and lead singer for the Grateful Dead. ""He was the guy who really sold the band, not me or Weir... Pigpen is what made the band work." From an obscure source; Jerry Garcia 1993. "he (Pigpen) was the group's original leader and was considered the best singer and frontman." Pigpen was fired in October 1968 but bot he and the Dead knew it wouldn't/couldn't last. He only missed 3 shows. Then returned. Turn on your love light bro! McKernan achieved a new prominence in 1969 covering "Turn On Your Love Light"; initially introduced in 1967, the song gradually evolved into the band's show-stopping finale, often taking fifteen to thirty minutes to complete. He sang as a front man - no instrument - sometimes the harp, but he was a traditional frontman. As Jerry said: "If we had paid more attention to Pigpen, it probably would have saved us a couple of years of fucking around." lol After Pigpen's demise Weir emerged as the lead singer for the Grateful Dead.

Brandford Marsalis played with the Grateful Dead at Nassau Coliseum on March 30 1990 . Then also joined in at Madison Square Garden on September 16 1990 and Brandford was there. Ron McKernan died at the age of 27 and was part of the 27 club.

I think the point I made was that Bill Graham said those same words hundreds of times at numerous venues. At least I think that's what I said and/or meant. Five minutes later I think we show a cut of U.S. Blues.

@VixCrush Год назад

@@AmericasUntoldStories True. He says very similar words many times. The reason I know that is those words are at the beginning of the cd One From The Vault which was one of the first CDs the group ever released of live concert footage. Of course I had a cassette of this show way before that. You saw some really great shows which is awesome. I only saw shows from 89-95 but I caught 63 during that period. Very cool that you tried to help Mickey's son. Great American Music Hall was one of only 3 or 4 shows they played on hiatus in 1975 and it is right next to the famous strip club Mitchell Bros in SF.

The two great iconic studio albums I think Mark is referring to is Workingman’s Dead & American Beauty.

@AmericasUntoldStories Год назад

You’re listening to a remastered version of American beauty. The original was flat. Workingman’s Dead was a masterpiece of studio engineering

@immortalserito774 Год назад

Agree Carrie C! Wake of the flood is a not a full studio treatment. MISSISSIPPI half step, Row Jimmy and Eyes of the World are better live.

@immortalserito774 Год назад

@America's Untold Stories your guest screwed up 'American beauty ' is a great studio album, remastered or not. That and Workingman's got the full studio treatment, everything else was pulled together to support the Deads bread and butter, live touring.

@MLStanleyK Год назад

I saw them @ University of Santa Barbara in '74 and then in LV at an infamous show - Raindance Episode - in '92(?) and both were great shows. Steve Miller opened in LV going solo, just an acoustic guitar and vocals - was great also! BTW - American Beauty was one of the great studio albums I think.......&........I get the statement about the past! Nice. I wonder if you are familiar with the book 'Rolling Thunder'? There was a Dead connection there too. Anyway....thanks......lotsa fun!

Jerrys diabetic coma was during the Dylan and the Dead tour in '86 caused by dehydration according to the Long Strange trip documentary. That's when Merl helped him relearn the guitar. The Jerry Garcia: The Complete 1985 "Frets" Interview (HD Audio) on YT does a good job capturing his struggles prior to arrest and coma. John Khan Jerry's partner in crime supplied the H that ultimately took them both.

I love the footage of Jerry Garcia and a few others show up back parking lot at Altamont (unclear if they were there to play or just hang out); and someone (maybe Jefferson Airplane member?) tells about Hell’s Angels beating people and causing trouble; Jerry says in his passive tender voice, “Oh that’s not cool”.

As for the Dead as an integral part of American culture - I've heard several offhand references to them on cable news shows, including last night when one host who was handing off to the next host was plugging his upcoming tour - the next host asked if she could get her a ticket - or was she going to have to sell cheese sandwiches out of the back of her car like at a Dead concert.

Wow... I just love Marc's storytelling.. And I love all these tidbits, lesser known stories about popular culture, band culture.. It's wild to hear but just so fascinating.. Especially with all the threads that connect the band and their origin story together.. Loved the back story on their name.. Talk about something that those not in the know would totally misconstrue if they heard 'grateful dead'.. Love the real meaning makes it an even better band name!!!

"We are Everywhere". I miss seeing that bumpersticker and still miss those shows. What a pleasant surprise! Look forward to offshoots about Barlow & Kesey, etc... I don't go as far back as Groubert, but I caught about 25-30 shows from 1987 and they still played some great shows in that time. '93 in Eugene, one of the funnest times ever because camping all weekend (Fri.- Mon.) at the venue was allowed. Full immersion caused that lifestyle to feel very seductive.

Spanish and Irish roots. Garcia: An American Life by Blair Jackson is the most well written informative biography of Jerry Garcia & also much about the Grateful Dead.

Her grandfather Patrick Clifford was born in Ireland in the middle of the nineteenth century and emigrated to California, where he married another Irish expatriate named Ellen Callahan. Ruth's father, William Henry Clifford, was born in San Francisco in 1883. In his twenties he got involved in the laundry business and married nineteen-year-old Tillie May Olsen, whose ancestors had sailed to California from Sweden around the time of the Gold Rush.
