Martin/Vonne electric band,featuring Michael Taylor(Bass)Val Cronk (keyboards) Matt Medellin(drums) George Batista(acoustic)Michael Martin(guitar,vocal) Patricia Vonne(acoustic guitar) Live at The Church/Casbeers,San Antonio TX (Sept.09')
I have heard many versions of this song from late 60's or early 70's to today, and I can say this is the best by far. The vocals are sincere and strong and the musicianship is up with the heavy hitters. Best arrangement by far.
I’ve recently downloaded 135 versions of this song > Morning Dew. From multiple bands , musicians. From the original artist Bonnie Dobson , G Dead , JRAD and others. This version is absolutely beautiful. Was recorded in a church in Texas. I looked up the top 25 songs covered. And surprised this song is not one of them. G Dead May 8 th , 1977 is another incredible version. Let the good times roll
I was at this show at a small church in DT San Antonio,TX with the best acoustics ever and the great talent of Michael Martin & The Infidels (awesomely talented local band). What a show it was!
Years ago when I heard Long John Baldry on this song . Thankyou Bonnie. The depth, love. angst,.Mr Taylor you have set the and with your BAND a beautiful Cut. You Nailed IT.
absolutely stunning guitar work and powerful melodious voice. It is the best version of this song out there. I can (and do) listen to it over and over. I think Mike does it the way the song was meant to be sung.
Lyrics: Walk Me Out In The Morning Walk me out in the morning to my room Walk me out in the morning dew today Can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey I can't walk you out in the morning dew today I Thought I heard a baby cry this morning I Thought I heard a baby cry today You didn't hear no baby cry this morning You didn't heard no baby cry today I Thought I heard a young men morn this morning I Thought I heard a young men morn today You didn't hear no young men morn this morning You didn't heard no young men morn today Walk me out in the morning to my honey Walk me out in the morning dew today I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey I can't walk you out in the morning dew today Where have all the people gone my honey? Where have all the people gone today? There's no need for you to be worry about all those people You never seen those people anyway Walk me out in the morning dew to my honey Walk me out in the morning dew today I guess it doesn't matter at all I guess it doesn't matter anyway
Very nice, Deadlike version. There are so many great covers of this that I couldn’t really choose a favorite. But Jeff Beck’s from Truth is in the conversation
Exceptional!! Leans very, very heavily on the Dead's highly re-worked interpretation of the original, so credit where credit's due, however. Very strong vocals (a Dead frailty), tight but quite simplistic guitar interplay compared to the GD - there is simply none of Phil's or Bob's sophistication in the bass or rhythm, or even tonal subtleties, but the extraordinary solemnity and purity of the delivery is near-genius. Stunning sound engineering here, just beautiful - I think the small venue (appears to be a church with miraculous acoustic properties) and uncluttered P.A. just project perfectly. There's a wonderful sense of divinity to this performance, just spiritually moving, almost prayerful. The Dead's take is more Wagnerian, cosmic. The difference is monastic St. Augustine versus universe-shattering Bhagavad-Gita. I generally resist drawing comparisons between the Dead and other bands, but with two superheavyweight efforts like this, a little deconstruction is forgivable, no?
This is a cover of the Grateful Dead version of "Morning Dew". Damn good one too. Just freaked me out to notice they are playing in a church, considering the post apocalyptic reference of the song.
Casbeers was an old church, and the music played there was usually ironic, considering. It's now a hot dog restaurant, and while that might seem even odder, it's way more packed than ever. Only now it's hipsters, not hippies. lol
@@krazkayaker62 You are correct. However, this is almost a note-for-note cover of the Grateful Dead's arrangement. Including lyrical tweaks that the Dead employed and the guy plays both Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia licks throughout. And the Deads arrangement is different than of the other bands that have covered this tune. Lastly, he does include the last line that Jerry added to this tune "I guess it doesn't matter anyway"
it always just amazes me how many people will critisize a artist just on fact they have never heard of them before and yes I my self have heard this song by grateful Dead & Nazereth to which both bands played the song in many different styles nazereths early version recored on live tv is really my fav version but then later recorded again with some kind of disco beat that totaly stunk in my opinion and GD also released a version with some kind of Jamacan reagge disco beat but this very good #1
its a song written about nuclear fallout, the day "s" after the world blows itself up. Sad how human's talk about love and kindness, while at the same time plotting the destruction of their so called enemies. powerful song foretelling the future.
This is Michael Martin from San Antonio, TX. He also has a band that goes by the Infidels. He's is probably best know for his stint touring with Tom Russell. Look up Tom's videos and you can she Michael in action on Letterman and more...
Really. Why even compare this version to the Dead's when it's not even they're song to begin with. That alone speaks volumes of the Grateful Dead's rendition.
I wasn't criticizing the musicianship, which is the only good thing here. Good phrasing in the vocals and good feel all around. There just isn't really a song here musically speaking, which is typical of the Dead.
