"Calebration" broadcast on KQED-TV San Francisco with FM simulcast.

Correct…
This puts a BIG smile on my face! Pigpen was a gifted bluesman! Thank you for sharing!! 😀💗
damn skippy! watch Pigpen and I think of Bon Scott. They both flat out owned their bands. Subsequent iterations of each band were good, but lacked that coiled carnal verve ever after.
He sure was. He should’ve been in the Mississippi Delta.
So sorry I missed Pigpen
1st show Winterland’69
@@shemsuddinmillard3172 hey brother, I think I expressed that exact sentiment.
I have been a Lighting Hopkins fan since I was a kid,living in Philly from 68,69,70. I saw so many of the musicians and became aquatinted with some. They were the founders of the music and social revolution that took place from 1960 on. I did see the freaking fab 4 at S. Stadium ,in the Bronx. I have come to know Grace Slicks bff from the 60s and two of the women that were married to or had affairs with one the Airplanes drummers,Spencer Dryden. I have been in touch with David Gans,for years.Jay Blakeburg,famous GD Photographer. Shemsuddin,my friend,you were exactly correct about the lost vibe of the Pig, but the music never stopped and still rolls on,happily for the universe. The right wing killer’s have been at their bloody business since the sixties,what else is new? Hang in there folks,time to ride the Tiger. ⚡️🖖🏽⚡️🎸
I love this glimpse of Weir playing his part at the beginning of "Easy Wind." No one else will ever play like that.
Like, Whooooaaa! that is THE single coolest version of Easy Wind I have ever heard! Go the PIG!
That set was actually performed and broadcast from the KPIX Channel 5 studios in San Francisco. I went a friend's home to watch the simil-cast and we set up 2 stereo systems (each tuned to a different FM simil-cast station) to get the 4 Channel stereo effect. Great Set. :-)
David Castro that is so fkn cool. I bet whoever listened to this live on the radio this way had NONSTOP eargasms👍🏼😎👍🏼
Man that's amazing, you are blessed. This is music as it's intended to be. I went to a few shows in mid 90s, I was 15. The experience of the show changed my life.
That's interesting, since I was always wondering how this worked? Because, you know why it's called "Calibration", which by the way, was done with the Airplane and Quicksilver also on the show as well? Because it was intended to test Quadraphonic. Yet, it seems you guys were using your heads! Given, that nobody had equipment using a common commercially available retail F.M. receiver that was capable of producing the Quadraphonic signal that was being broadcast? Did either KQED and/or KPIX announce ahead of time that your methodology is what was needed to be able to get the full effect?
I too agree, 'Easy Wind' is truly mind blowing for a blues tune, and I always thought that it along with 'Slipknot' and the "Ace" version of 'Playin'' in the Band' are the best studio jams Grateful Dead ever did!
Moreover, I used to fantasize that Robert Hunter would have performed that live with Grateful Dead but obviously that never happened? This seemed plausible to me, because I once using a crappy mono tape machine (since this was one of my earliest attempts, that is before I actually got some good equipment, at making a concert recording) taped Robert Hunter, doing that song in 1978 at "The Whiskey A-Go Go " in Hollywood.

Such a cool little window into early electric Dead. Jerry's vibrato on his voice is amazing.
Vocally I believe Jerry was best 70-71 but I could put 77-78 in there too.
@@Preston_McKnight His vocals on the final verse of Candyman are Jerry at his very best. Just incredible.
Wasn’t the band always electric from the mid-60s onward? When were they not ‘electric’?
This is not early electric GD. That would be ‘65-‘67. By mid ‘67 on into this era they were filling out their musical shoes completely.
Pigpen KING OF THE BLUES !!!!! R.I.P..
This is such a precious upload, I know it doesn't have the high quality that we are used to nowadays but you've the original 5 plus Mickey in the most beautiful time of theire careers other than when Mickey's dad screwed everything up and they kicked him out of the band for a while, but I saw them in Boston with the new riders right around this time and pig pen actually just took over the show with easy wind and turn on your love light and the place was going absolutely bonkers. He was actually the showman of the band until... and I was a young teen at the time, just got my license, hadn't gone to too many concerts yet, but what a beginning this was!! amazing
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dark headed hair and bearded Jerry from the late 60s and early to mid 70s. Happy Bday big guy! Miss you. Aug 1st 2018
I'll say the same for Pigpen too. I wish somebody could 'clean' up this clip, if it were possible
This is an incredible performance. Best Easy Wind ever. But part I love the most is the last part of Uncle John's Band when they harmonize and you can hear Jerry keeping the beat by tapping on his guitar. Amazing stuff. Would love to see a video without all the 60s "effects."
Outta control beautiful !!!! Amazing Candy Man, Casey Jones, and Brokedown Palace
Sweetness...Jerry/Candyman vocal...Superb...Last days of Jerry/Gibson
Don't know why I love this lo-fi recording so much. Best versions I've heard of Casey Jones and Brokedown Palace.
an awesome thing happened on the day i was born long before i was born, awesome! i was born on august 30 91. my mom got to see the dead, and im forever jelous of that. but thankfully the music never stops!
this may be my favorite time, maybe most creative! nice rough audio mix, harmonies. jewel.
Dude, this is awesome! Thanks for sharing...
Great vocals on Brokedown Palace!
WOW this is the best rendition of this track I've ever seen and heard!
This is an old comment, but I’m curious, which track?! They do several lol
History! One of the first color TVs ever with the first jam band in concert!
Love it. The Pigpen is right up there. Amazing music.👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌈🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
60's film effects gone wild!
I live in the Bay Area and I'd like to see KQED do stuff like this now.
Thanks, Nola! Spectacular... despite the hateful graphics. :-D
I love my old weird Uncle Phil. Bless his deeply decent heart.
Is Phil Lesh your uncle?
You have done it again Voodoonola, great stuff. Wish they had realized they were documenting history and kept the trippy special effects to a minimum. Love the vocal harmonies, with Phil in the middle. Thanks again, you made my day.
This is the rockiest I’ve ever heard the Dead!!!!
What a great show! Raw rock and roll at its finest!
I do believe the most righteous video I have ever witnessed in 68 years of life
Unbelievable so raw so real so tight so loose awesomely UNBELIEVABLE no wonder they are my faves❤
been looking for this full show for at least 7 years, thanks for the upload! love when bobby hands the solo over to jerry during easy wind! such a contrast
Be forever Grateful man.
Good leads from Weir in Easy Wind! Nice stuff.
As far as I can tell, Weir always killed his solos on EW (not to mention The Eleven). Too bad the damn cameraman couldn't figure out who was soloing,
@@xianshep And Hard to Handle & China>Rider back in the day. His slide on the other hand... yikes.
Now he can't play to save his life
@@xianshep I appreciate that they showed Jer rippin up the rhythm. Wow!
@@joefelice5062 Are you my brutha from a different mutha?
I remember being high on acid in Pennsylvania and this came on public TV. Whew
I'd ask why you were watching public TV on acid but if this came on that pretty much answers the question. ESP lol
Looked like Weir was playing lead and Jerry rhythm in the beginning. Just saw Wolf Bros. and Bobby looks grate; keep on truckin'. ✌💕🕉
Wow you figured out what I was bitching about I was trying to understand what was happening but I never realized that Bob was that good playing lead back that far back but I was thinking this is not the actual soundtrack that were hearing that we're getting matched up to but I guess that no you figured it out it's that's probably the whole deal there hey thank you very much
Yes, Weir always took the first lead on Easy Wind - which is plenty easy to hear on Workingman's Dead. I also find his leads more ripping and more unique.
The more i listen to this pigpen era the more i love it. Jerrys best playing for sure and thats coming from a true fan of the 80s gd
It's 8/30/22 today
And it lead me to a TDIGDH
That is beyond a chunk of gold to say the least💗
Pigpen looks healthier here than I'm used to seeing him. This period (the 2 1970 albums) and the earlier acid rock period are my favorite Dead eras. Hearing these songs electrified adds a nice edge to the studio versions.
Now I know why Doug Irwin put Wolf, Tiger, Rosebud inlays. Because Jerry put stickers in that spot on all of his guitars and Doug was like "No man, you're not putting glue paper on my nicely figured and gloss finished wood guitars. Let me do the artwork if ya really need to do that" He did in fact replace Jerry's wolf sticker with an identical inlay when he took it back to do some work on it. I see here he had a flag sticker on The SG. And he had a sticker on the burst Strat that same year. Right in the same spot where Doug later put inlays.
Brokedown palace is so sick
This is my favorite Candyman.
Big ol Pigpen.... My father knew him well I only wish I did but I was too young. His reputation proceeds him. He was a gentle as can be my dad said. My father said he was there when he was honorably given a Hells Angels membership in Richmond CA. The only one ever given that he knows of.
Massive upgrade to the video in particular. Stunning.
That was cool!!!!!!!
This is outrageously awesome - Happy Summer 2015 everyone!!
SC
sekgvac HAPPY SUMMER 2015!! Hope it was a BLAST😂
@@bamadeadhead
It was not for me. It was an interesting chapter in the story of my life but not a very fun summer at all there's
Summer of 2021 looks like it's shaping up to be a real hoot
Dayum...sure takes you back
Pigpen: Best bluesman ever!
They came down to the golden bear in Huntington beach, Calif. That year and also the Hollywood palladium - we dug 'em down south and still dig 'em!
@@bradgibson5783 I was in Huntington Beach a couple of years ago and some old hippy surfer dude was telling me tales of The Golden Bear....it must have been an amazing place. He said you could hear the jams sitting out on the beach across the PCH!
Hardly, but the best Grateful Dead front man ever.
mrswimmyboy I bet you swim hardly
@@bamadeadhead- Oh. Guess who mrswimmyboy is. There is a clue here.
The tv transmission date was August 30th but the actual performance/videotaoing date was August 23, 1970.
This was not recorded at KQED Studios. KQED broadcast it after the fact. It was recorded live at McCune Studios, at the corner of 5th and Howard, SF.
everything is recorded live!
:P
@@coffeeNTrees and you know Jerry actually used the same hand that he used when making the album
god that solo on casey jones is just killer. great tone..
This was before they had stereo broadcasting on the telly. So the only way back then to hear stereo from the tv was to hope for a miracle and a stereo fm radio broadcast simulcast. And to watch the broadcast at the same time. No Vcr Either. Life was tough back in those days. Ha
Don't know how we survived. That was when there was no such thing as microwave popcorn.
It's worth being old now to have been young then.😎
Best EASY WIND ever😮
Période PIGPEN la meilleur , trop bon chanteur et clavier
I love how Casey Jones gave Bob Weir an opportunity to do a little lead playing. Really for most of it, Jerry's just strumming chords and Bobby is doing all these neat little licks over it. He does the first part of the solo too.
As did Easy Wind!
MUCH more so in Easy Wind, as always.
Bob shredding!
Too bad they were zooming in on Jerry’s guitar during easy wind when Bobby was Playing lead. BTW, I love 70 - 71 Dead because of minimal (lack of) keyboards. You can really hear Bobby in the mix, chugging away on that hollow body.
Rest in Peace!
God I LOVE when Jerry pounds on those bass strings - just slaps dem low notes!!
And this, folks, is what all the fuss is about. This is the Dead when they are ON.
After their first "last" concert, they became very tight and musically very "professional" which was nice until around 1979. Jerry on the hard stuff and the magic (for me anyway) began to dissipate. By the middle 80's they could still work it up, but the nostalgia element kept me away and by the late 80's Jerry named it - "If we don't have the magic at least we are proficient" or something like that. I met up with some of the G.D. family in the 90's and got my head turned around. The G.D. was a large organization which I thought was a great evolution supporting creative people. The band began to sound like a fine tuned museum exhibit of an earlier time. Sad - so of course, Jerry died. But they were smart, hip - instinctively they knew the time they were in was history being made and like the Beatles and others, they recorded it so the future can see the reality of the magic. Now they're going to do a last, last concert in Chicago. Maybe play to the spirit of the 1968 convention? I don't know but I wish they would do the final bow at a free concert in Golden Gate Park. Peace and love y'all....
They may yet do a Golden Gate Park, I'd be surprised if they didn't, but if they learned anything from Altamont, they aren't going to give away the secret until the last minute.
I agree with your assessment. After Keith left, it started downhill. Not laying the blame on Brent, it's kind of a coincidence.
zambiland The biggest reason for the disaster at Altamont was that the site had been switched from Sears Point Raceway just a couple of days before the show. (The raceway owner apparently had some grunge with the Rolling Stones.) So there was virtually no time to prepare the stage at Altamont, and it was far too low and unprotected. Also, the looooong wait between CSNY and the Rolling Stones (who wanted to play in the dark) caused the crowd to get restless and push forward.
Safuna it gets COLD up there at Altamont Pass. The wind really kicks up when the sun starts to go down.
Safuna According to Stanley Booth's book the reason for the delay was NOT because The Stones wanted to play in the dark, as many lazy journalists have repeatedly reported, but because the Dead decided NOT to play and Bill Wyman was not at the site yet. He had missed the earlier helicopter that the rest of the band had come in on. As soon as he got to the site the Stones went on.
Brian Delaney The announcer was constantly telling everybody they had to back up 15 feet, and used that excuse for the delay for the Stones to play. And they DID start playing precisely when it got dark. Guys in the Grateful Dead said afterward the plan was for them to play after the Stones, in order to avoid a massive exit and an epic traffic jam. Conditions were already difficult enough.
I've been chippin' them rocks from dawn 'til doom.
Awesome, thank you very much
Hot Damn !
This on the "Anthem to Beauty " DVD.
3:26 BEST Jerry solo ever? 👍🏼🤩😎👍🏼
Except for the fact that's Weir playing the solo from 3:26 to 4:24...
America sticker on Jerrys guitar....Cool
icebirdz its got some kind of trick to it .. says I AM AN and when it shifts the ERIC shows up between AM and AN.Jerry always had great stickers! I knew a guy who was a deadhead and he was in a wheelchair and he met Jerry once and gave him one of the GD stickers he used to make and he said Jerry slapped it right on his leather jacket. the guy was amazed.
you are actually correct, my fair ear !!!
☮️
🇺🇦
Phil is playing with his fingers instead of a pick...never seen that before.
Jerry was so much more animated then.
FUCK YEAH!!!!
They never show Phil singing tenor on Brokedown Palace. Looks like a duet between Jerry and Bob.
Hey! This my birthday! Was born in 2002 though😂
Hey! So, any ertswhile Deadhead or video freak with video upscaling experience looking to clean this one up?
This is a jem!
Apologies if this has already been asked, but . . . Why are the drummers not wearing shirts ???
I've never seen this before with the GD. Maybe they thought they would only be on radio?
So comfortably in the pocket!!! Tasty))
Singing of last verse of Candyman is just incredible. Only Jerry capable of that. Great historical film, too bad they had the silly psychedelic effects, would be so much better to just let us see them play. The band had such a great sound at this time, and you can hear it here. The Workingman's and American Beauty repertoire performed at there best then.
Get Rid of that visual effect stuff !
Keep the pig / Harmonica
icebirdz Came with the broadcast. "Headlights" was an S.F. mainstay...
Light shows were present at all gigs back then especially in the Bay Area and the psychedelic culture at the time. Multimedia was in its infancy.
You’ve never tried ACID😂
icebirdz I ESPECIALLY like this one 1:18 the hand, it’s HAS to be Jerry’s favorite dream...😂 full fingers😆
Yeah I find it annoying then but back in the day it was cool and just the way yhings were done.
Love that version of easy 🍃wind
Think this thru with me ...
Awww man the tripping special effects guy was tripping
It's Pigpen Time !!
PIGPEN!
Anyone know whatever happened to that SG? Or Alligator for that matter?
Yeah, well the music was fresh and hot, and danceable. They should have stuck to this formula. They needed a top dog to feed em right, and keep em off bad shit. Bad precedent we let come down then, still going on
👋
Didn't Peter Green of the original Fleetwood Mac play an SG, too??
No, he played an Strat and a Les Paul.
No, PG most definitely did not. But the best guitarist of that era that few have ever heard of - Ollie Hallsall - did, and the first few opening licks of 'Give It All Away' sound just like Jerry.
Some real shredding and jamming going on here. Early Dead the BEST.
Love the Dead - especially the playing of Weir, Lesh, and Kreutzman - but shredding is not a word I'd ever associate with them.
@@xianshep IMHO
The Allman Brothers and Greatful Dead we're instrumental in shredding their all their band's instruments every way possible in theri intense Jam sections. Its not a question of some Alpha Male Mongolian String Bender*** blazing away like Jimi Hendrix in a solo section for endless periods of time. Its primarily a tempo and drummer driven sound. *** Frank Zappa pointed this all out to a young Steve Vai.
Steve Vai is a consumate "Shredder" in every sense of the word.
@@lorenzo6mm Hendrix was not a "shredder," either, a term I believe only accurately applies to Vai, Malmsteen et al (not to mention every other UA-cam guitarist these days), and which is a subgenre of rock guitar playing which generally bores me to tears (I'd take Zappa over Vai any day). So I stand by my assertion that the Dead were very far from shredders, and am as familiar with the ferocity of some of their late 60s/early 70s jams as anyone.
@@xianshep
"Shredders" (tearing up waves on a surfboard) was a 1970's SURFING term adopted by many other people for basically ripping up your instrument what ever that was. It was transplanted into music in the 1980's metal heads and single line soloist of speed and dexterity.
@@lorenzo6mm Semantics.
Amazing! thankyou
Still the best Easy Wind I've heard
True, The Dead did give off easy wind.
@@jensandersen7011 😂👍
ITS BY FAR!!!! the best version I’ve EVER heard. Hands down. Maybe my fave song…
May 15 1970 from the fallout from the Phil zone live album is the best .
Definitely. Two other good ones are 3/21/70 (late show, Capitol Theater) and Winnipeg 7/1/70 which is also on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/KoJI3vesE0c/v-deo.html
Easy Wind is off the hook!
Best version I’ve heard
And how about Kreutzmann’s drumming on this !
My own opinion is they were at their best when Pig was squealin, the band just cooked on r &b and blues songs that Pig loved performing. This performance of Easy Wind is my favorite song of all. Peace!
Definitely off the hizzle!!
@@hammer44head I may have to agree lol. The jams they played behind his Good Lovin raps were so impressive. Lovelight, Smokestack, Midnight Hour, etc...🤯
This wasn't KQED///it aired on KPIX. I should know I produced it!
Say more, please! Do you remember the actual date of the filming? Wasserman reported on 8/28/70 that it was already in the can.
Excellent sound production Silver Fox.
Beautiful to see Pig still strong and healthy, doin' it up. Awesome.

Mark Saltveit 👍🏼😎👍🏼🇺🇸
Hey thanks!
Thnx, Mark!
To skip the intro of "Candyman" and cut right to the main song, start at 7:27.
I love Brokedown Palace, so, so much. I love that each time they played it, it was a little broken. One reason why I love GD is that they were true artists who were raw and imperfect.
Authentic
This is so true. And it's what sets them apart. The music is alive. It's the only music that truelly matters. I love all kinds of music, and listen to a great deal of different bands and styles, but what's there is what's there with other bands and music. The deads music grows and changes with us. It's as relavent and alive today as it was in 1970 at this concert. (At least that's the way it is for me)
Feel the same way about UJB. It’s always a bit fragile but it’s so endearing
Until I saw this, I never realized who was playing which guitar parts on this song... this makes it visible that Bobby is playing the primary lead through the verses, with Jerry comping like mad until the solo break. I've noticed the same thing on the 6-21-71 Chateau d'Herouville video where Bobby plays an extended blues lead on 'Hard to Handle.' Sadly, the cameraman is focused on Jerry during Bobby's solo.
Yes Bobby's soloing and overall abilities are often overlooked by Dead Heads, nevermind everyone else. But it's actually easy to hear him clearly on plenty of recordings: on all Warner Brothers albums, plus any live soundboards from at least '70 to '73, he's panned to the right, with Jerry to the left.
Notable tunes where Weir always soloed, usually first: Easy Wind, China Cat into Rider, Hard to Handle, with the trickiest riffs on the latter two also played by him.
Bands who attempt a China rider with one lead guitar and no weir, never do a good job. It’s so driven by him. Weir is also
Incredibly important in many other songs like
Sugaree for example- all
Of them but I really liked when he’d take a high lead in black muddy river etc later on
The Dead really were a 1A 1B guitar band, like the Allmans with Duane and Dicky, or the Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan: an absolute guitar god paired with a 2nd guitarist whio was excellent in their own right. I love finding as show that has Bob high in the mix, especially early 70s. Lots of classic Dead riffs you wouldn't think are his, Casey Jones, Wharf Rat, China Cat of course.
More than that even, with Phil Lesh playing like a lead guitarist himself.
@@allagoon and as Jorma always says, the Airplane with Kantner’s 12 string.
Once upon a time in an America that no longer exists and I thank you very kindly for this one...🍷🌹🇺🇸🖤✌🏼
The Dead sang about America (Kerouac's) that was disappearing in front of them.. think they're lyrics could outlive this Incredible Music..Saw them in 71, 72,74,77.. and am a PigPen fanatic!
Some of the best live footage of them ever. Love how much they all had to look at each other to make sure they were singing the right lyrics and on the correct beat. Raw and real. SG Jerry- Great era for the band.
I don't think they "had" to get any cues from each other visually - it's just that when you're playing and things are coming together (call it bleshing if you will), you instinctively look each other's way.
Finally sg Jerry in video. Thank you so much
@thehorrorgeek1 The guitar is named a Gibson SG model. Why? Who knows? WTF is a Telecaster or Stratocaster?
@@pewsterbaby SG stands for solid guitar, as opposed to a hollow or semi-hollow guitar
Aside from his Strat tone, and not to diss his beautiful guitars (Tiger, Wolf et al.) SG Jerry is my favorite.
