@@dougpayton188 This dew melts beginning from beginning to end. I'd hate to open another set after this burner! Bus usually MD's were played first or last . I hacen't done my research on this particular show but I heard the dew and it blew me away. In my 20s, my kiddie years. 20 more and i'm still a bigtime head with more wisdom, but also got on the ship of fools for awhile, then the wharf rat, But I'm putting myself back on my feet little by little. Beena head since '94, too late to see them live but just old enough to find dick latvala's shows and man did he know how to pick em! I ended up with all 36 and since dave's picks, the 12 lot. I got into phish alot,which i found sadly GD fans and phish kids really weren't a family meant to be together. Phish kids robbed, stuck ppl for their N20 and nasty stuff like that and then the mike Gordo scandal (which I don't really believe , I think it was a fast money grab by griftersm and they were peaking right then and didn't bad PR. Sad cause Gordo used to ride his bike out into the tent cities and shakedown street, always nice to get a piece bought by mike, usually given most likely. Take care of each other, it's a cruel world, all we have is each other!
@@pattamus1 5/8/77 is widely known as the best show ever, or at least right up there. The Scarlet Fire was also incredible. I saw, I think, about 18 shows, mostly 80's. Never saw a Phish show as I just can't get into their music for whatever reason. As for your last statement - isn't that the truth. Hang in there and keep dancing.
I was once sitting outside the bar smoking with a female friend in my car. I had a kick a$$ stereo system in it. We we're cranking the Europe 72 Morning Dew. Half the bar came outside to brawl. After about 30 seconds everybody quit fighting & started shaking hands. We willed it & never doubted it. True story
That's right I stopped doing acid. Over 20 years ago. I did it every day for 7 years I never wanted to come down. But I did. And the Music never stopped
i listen to the Dead in the morning and cry while I am gardening. This world is dark but there is so much beauty and light that it brings me to tears every morning as my hands are stirring up our Mothers beauty.
Sweet Word's of Truth, I still live in the Nieborhood I was born in, I played my Dead Album's loud and rock'n them day's of the early 70's. Need a new turn table to do it today, need to wake up the Old Italian Niebor's of Yesteryear's gone Past and Chase the Ghetto Rat's Away from here today.
I first heard this bootleg in December 1985 by a friend who was actually there I had seen my first 2 shows at Long Beach Arena,CA. And I was already hooked but this song always reved me up more than any manmade stimulant. I used to crank this entire set thru the PA system when I was a custodian for this huge facility on Saturday's by myself on a dual cassette auto reverse Kenwood system along with Missing Persons Flock of Seagulls Eagles Boston made my 8 hour shift by myself go mega fast as I had to remodel entire office or Manufacturing areas. I always made it fun. Or why even do it?
john boswell Cool for the birth or your son! My daughter was born November 3 also, 1995. She got to see the band's last three shows in Chicago that same year, in utero...and Jerry died exactly a month later unfortunatley. Still the band's legacy, light and positivity shines throughout the next generation. A generation WE raised! 😀😀😀
Started listening to the Dead about a yr ago, at 52 yrs of age I feel like I missed out on a great deal of music, glad I discovered this music at a later age , mostly back in the day people told me that you had to do acid to really appreciate the Dead , they were so wrong , thanks for uploading . Outstanding!!!!!!
Yours is one of my all-time favorite comments on RU-vid. I've heard it said that the Dead are over-rated. Pshaw. Personally, I think they are UNDER-rated and this track showcases some of the best evidence for that assertion. There is so much to these guys: the history, the technology, the artistry, their influence, their encapsulation of Americana, ... just so much it's overwhelming.
they just have poor eyesight, or maybe they were traveling down a bumpy road and their phone/computer bounced around and they missed the LIKE button. only possible excuss i would take.
"engaged" solos. Nice phrase, and I get what you mean. I might even have used "inspired", Jerry's so "engaged" here. This is really awesome. I've always liked the Europe '72 version, and still do, because it's got Weir's guitar more front in the mix and you can hear the interaction with Jerry, but this is pure wonderful too.
how come the cornell betty boards sound better way better than the red rocks? Its more difficult to engage witht he live recordings with out the crowd in the background.
I finally managed to graduate from Cornell in 5/77 although I was class of '75 - and this was the last event I attended before I left. It was such a memorable concert because it was so clear and pristine - the acoustics were the best Barton Hall ever produced.
One thing to keep in mind here folks is Betty mixed this on stage, on the fly !!........ AMAZING doesn't close ......both performance as well as sonic capture !!
Agree with all said. This may be my favorite version of one of my favorite songs The Dead performed.. Less commented on is the video which I think is really nice. Perfectly captures the feel of the song, i.e. in flower field bathed in the late Saturday afternoon glow of an acid sun. Nice
I think it must have been maybe 1960 or 1959, I can't remember, when I saw a film called "On The Beach" and it made a tremendous impression on me. Particularly at that time because everybody was very worried about the bomb and whether we were going to get through the next 10 years. It was a very immediate problem and I remember I was singing in Los Angeles at the Ashe Grove and I sat up all night talking with some friends. I was staying with a girl named Joyce Nastelin whom I lost contact with, nice woman she was. And I don't know, she went to bed or something and I just sat and suddenly I just started writing this song. I had never written anything in my life. I'd written some poetry as a kid. I'd never written songs and this song just came out and really it was a kind of re-enactment of that film in a way where at the end there is nobody left and it was a conversation between these two people trying to explain what's happening. It was really apocalypse, that was what it was about - Bonnie Dobson, explaining why she wrote "Morning Dew" Who remembers the bomb drills in school during that time?
totally remember that! had daily thoughts of annihilation (from about 9 yrs old)- talk about why i turned into a blue-blooded hippie! had to live, find my truth and most of all attain FREEDOM from the earthly concerns that plague everyone...
You are right on about your story. Morning dew is my most favorite jerry dead song. I began following jerry everywhere since 1969 till his death August 9 1995. Every show I would pray to catch the dew at just the right moment. Barton hall is probably my favorite. But I have several other favorites too especially William and Mary 1974 philly 4.6.82 Boston hall the third nite 1973 and a few others. Part of me died when Jerry passed. Me and my friends and all the deadheads on the planet who were lucky enough to see jerry perform caught magic in that 30 year time span. RIP jerry, we all loved you..........💜🍄💜🍄💜🍄💜🍄💜🍄💜🍄💜🍄💜🥀🥀🥀billy
Definitely The. Best. Freaking. Dew. Ever! Whenever anxiety looms in life, I listen to this and the Universe rights itself. Those 3 shows, the tremendous Binghampton '79, and Nassau Coliseum 90 with Branford are my top 5 ever after over 200 in-person shows and hundreds more shows on tape/cd/dvd/thumb drives/external hard drives...
Ange McL I caught dew for the first time at Alpine Valley '82. my 4th dead show at the tender age of 17. there was a "Must have been the roses" that night in the first set and I would've swore that it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. then the dew was likely the most powerful thing I'd ever heard. Its easy to see how dropping everything and going on tour seemed like a reasonable idea.
A folk/protest song about the aftermath of nuclear war, this is my favorite Grateful Dead cover song. Love the rave up at the end. Definitely one of the best live versions I've heard and I've heard quite a few.
You're right, written in 1961, post apocalyptical conversation. I was told a long time ago that it was thoughts of a first world war soldier dying in the trenches, and it seemed so meaningful to me like this. I suppose, being a song, it can have whatever meaning that touches me? The first world war happened, and my forbears died in France and Belgium. As a young boy I feared the Russian bombers coming over at night to drop the Atom bomb, but, thank God, it never happened. As long as we have these weapons it surely will, I am sorry to say. Maybe not in our lifetime. I was shocked when I discovered in my teens that the Russians had actually been on our side in the War, WW2? Now we have warmongering in that direction, mostly to give arms manufacturers a rationale to build weapons and governments to buy them. I often think Russia and US actually have common interests. I'm sure if the people rather than the governments could negotiate, we could live in cooperation and peace. I am hoping that if we become less oil dependent, these oil wars will cease. I'm sure they'll find something else to fight about. Sorry I got a long way from the song. I have been a Deadhead for 50 years this year. Morning Dew is achingly affecting.
This song is about the end result of nuclear war, with all the pain, suffering and destruction that goes with it. This song is a warning for humanity to change its ways.
I don't miss Jerry because i will be nearer to him in the everafter than i was (consider that I hung out with the band) here. & he doesn't need our grief because he is in Paradise.
This is a really sweet matrix. Got the best of both worlds. It's a manufacted moment in time but yet captures a higher reality of what I think that experience must've been like.
This was a wonderful time musically. That S.F. Psychedelic Rock with this song & Mona with the Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Airplane's Wooden Ships. I lived through this tumultuous time in our history, remembering the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, assassinations of: Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy just days and months before graduating from H.S.
This (a cover) is the best version of this song ever recorded, or performed for that matter. I have been aware of this performance of this song from bootleg tapes since the early 1980s. I had one cassette I listened to often over a period of 2 decades. When I converted to CD and then to iTunes I lost this version. I will soon have it back. Please listen to it with an open mind. It is sacred, holy, and divine. As much as I love music--- I cannot, or have rarely said such, about any other piece; save perhaps some performances of some of Beethoven's works. As Beethoven was recognized in his own time as an incarnation of Orpheus by some: so too was Garcia recognized in his own time by some... including myself, (belatedly unfortunately) at the last Grateful Dead show I ever attended at the Oakland Colosseum Arena, during December of 1994. Rediscovering this song online in several locations this afternoon was cathartic to say the least. An "artistic experience" if you will. Art is immortal. Artists are fleeting. "Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by." (Jerry Garcia ["Bird Song"]) Despite the over-the-top and generally embarrassing reactions of many listeners to the Grateful Dead's music (including my own), within their repertoire are priceless pearls for the dredging. This is one of them. The song itself--- its profundity, poignancy, and absolute relevance to the Human Condition--- is heartbreaking enough. This performance does this song great justice. Immortal justice. Please pay special attention to: 1) the restrained sensitively emotional vocal delivery; 2) the slow-paced restraint of the ensemble as they tip-toe to provide the foundation for a masterpiece; 3) the highly variable dynamics with quiet vocal interludes in the middle breaking into instrumental crescendos at the end; 4) and the heart-busting diminuendo of soul-rending arpeggio after arpeggio which brings the song to a definitive closure. As seasoned live performers, one thing the Grateful Dead really knew how to do was end a song properly. Did I tell you I saw The Grateful Dead 100 times? Now, after all which has happened, and after all, now lost, that was included in my experience of The Grateful Dead, I must listen to this with discretion. One can only handle just so many catharses, or complete emotional breakdowns, within a given period of time. Still, I must listen to it.
A true deadhead doesnt put labels on people its whatever have you seen the documentary on deadhead life in the 90s there was this part when these Dead fans came and they were being themselves they dressed all punk with piercings and they were judged so badly it was quite sad. A true deadhead doesnt label people based on how they use words like "feels" and such. Who gives a shit about that
This takes me back, to my van, Nag Champa incense in the ashtray, Heinekens in the cooler, sharing that space and time with brothers and sisters I probably just met, listening to the music that brought it all together.
What is that audience member saying at 7:03 into the song? Sounds like he is mocking Bobby with a 'Shred it Ace' troll barb. How funny, if that's what he really said! Love the unique characters in the crowd at any given show.
Timing perfectly to an amazing NYC sunset right now. Tears of Bliss goin on here, expanding my heart and lifting my soul. Every time, but especially right NOW.
1977? Wow, he's working all weekend; we just had a quick meal and almond infused milk lol; all organic now - Mike will be blown away! You will most certainly have a another family member fan on createsystesthingking.wordpress (my friends are high on your writing as well). Wow, love it all - great pictures! When I hear Jerry, that is where my heart is (\/) is ;). Are you in NY area? We're having a July 4-6 festival here - Dead are webcasting Chicago show! Big screen in backyard, pool, blenders, friends, you are more than welcome to come; just updated many today as usual 7/4 we are at the beach, this year our back yard; I couldn't handle Chicago for 3 days, the festival no issues, but Chicago is too much - exhausted when I return lol nite! Look for Jen O! She's a great friend - I will tag her in!
Yes, this is amazing but so are the versions by the Allman Bros, Nazareth and the Jeff Beck group - particularly the latter band with a young Rod Stewart on lead vocal.
First time live Winterland New Years Eve 1971. With my cousin RIP brother. I think towards the end of the first set about 3:00 a m. Very moving , still the same feelings. Not quite the same as that wonderful time in life.
Fragile Thunder Its amusing how people go out of their way to leave negative remarks about things they don't like or understand. its such a waste of time & energy. you're better off just not listening if its not for you. Taking the time to shit on something you're not into just leaves a bad smell that clings to you, the shitter.
If you don’t love this then you’re clearly mentally ill.I’ve listened to this version literally over a thousand times and it never ceases to amaze me !!
Thank you California.thank you oregon.thank you montana .thank you Wyoming.thank you colorado.thank you Washington.thank you everyone for all the peace and love.thank you grateful dead for all the American buity.
gfewgrwgrweewgegeg Believing Bobby could be hazardous to your health. he's one of those Bohemian Grove Bastids. He's definitely changed sides unless it was always a CIA operation/plot. Getting the truth from guys like that is a risky proposition at best.
awesome use of dynamics in this song...it really moves and speaks...like he says in the opening ..'walk me out' ...followed by the guitar chord shimmers the song starts to take you into the higher dimension and with each note chirp the music takes you deeper if you just let it... I fell in love with this song, back in like 2003 or 2004 when I taped it off the Sunday night Grateful Dead hour that used to play on the radio back then (I miss the days of great late-night music of the 70s-early millenia).... and I am so glad to find this digital form tp listen to RU-vid... Thank you for posting! ...and remember, the music never stopped, so keep on making endless Dead mixes everyone!...I listen to the endless mixes as background music all day...or big buddha om chanting...LOL!
Great job, chase. The best video of one of the greatest pieces of heartfelt music ever done. Thanks. I needed this right now. (Sometimes we just miss the orange barrel sunshine.)
