I went to college for music. I'm only a percussionist, but this is the most theoretically correct and auditorrily stimulating solo that I've ever heard in my life. I listen to this solo nightly. And it always makes me smile... Always...
@@AcolisI’d much rather hear somebody sing their heart out and tell a story than have them sing every note in tune. Listen to the old (early 20th century) blues singers and old folkies; they had a raw, less polished sound. That’s where the Dead’s roots were.
This is by far one of the most emotional and heartfelt performances Jerry had in his later years. Such a joy to see that smile after he nails that solo, with shaky hands and all. We all need to give this man so much credit for revolutionizing the definition of what music can mean. Thank you Jerry, rest in peace my friend
When I listened to Peggy o first time, it was 1983 sometime in October. My eyes were filled with tears back then, and it just gives that sentimental feeling everytime When I listen. Nowadays, I change Peggy O to Jodi O, for my breast cancer survivor wife. Thank you Jerry O
I'm 30 and watching this makes me want to cry. I will never exist while Jerry is alive for the rest of my life. Moments like these will slip further and further away from me. But I'm still thankful for having had them. Something strikes me while listening to this that just makes me feel like Jerry knew his time was coming to an end. It's both sad and beautiful as most of the best things are.
@Samuel Madsen I'm 48 and only saw the Dead with Jerry twice in 1992 and 1993. Could have seen them a lot more starting the late '80s, but I was a metal head at that point and hadn't yet found the other side yet. It's tough thinking about all the missed opportunities.
This is one of the songs he played the last time I saw Him. Was at the ' 95 Vermont show. Makes me misty...F-ing Hell we all miss you Jer, thanks for taking the time to look every one of us in the eyes when you played live for us. I feel like you are my second Father. PEACE BRO!
May 1995 Sam Boyd Stadium Las Vegas... He looked and sounded not great... I knew I'd never seen him again... he died two months later. It was forever over... Had no interest in all the BS vapors of continuing.... Jerry Garcia was the Grateful Dead.
I remember being 23 and bailing on live shows because it was getting too weird and Jerry was deep in the sht again. I wished I had stuck around. Weird thing is that I'm now the same age Jerry was here, look sort of like him without having tried to, and have the same lifestyle. It's a hard age to try to reverse decades long vices.
If people listened to more music like the Grateful Dead, Earth would be paradise...could you imagine 7 billion people living together with great music and joy in their heart, watching as our species goes out to explore space and spread the good news?
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Well put, I never measured my grace per lb..lolThe big guy is the greatest storyteller I ever heard..He would be the first to say he was just a man, zipped his zipper up just like the rest of us..He just happened to have a gift that I considered precious...Never in my life have I ever been with 50,000 people who would would want to be no other place but here..
I raise my hand with you, my friend's water pipe's burst in the apartment above him on august 9th, 1995......sadly... he saw it as all the deadheads in the world crying all at once.Peace
Jerry really does a good job here! I respect your notion that this is the best live version ever. My personal favorite is at The Paladium NY NY 4/30/77 and is definitely worth checking out if you love this song
Josh Kirschenbaum That N.Y. Palladium is a good and therefore fairly famous '77 choice! I'm about to re-check out some of these other suggestions including Englishtown, N.J. 1977-9-3(Sat) which I haven't heard in quite a while but I can't forget that also at Englishtown the 'Eyes of the World' and 'Mississippi 1/2 Step Uptown Toodaloo' are both truly mind blowing, for sure! In any case, you're on the ball and this one here from definitely Vegas '94 as it appears others also have rightfully determined. Not to be too egotistical; we just have to teach the young folks where it's really at! I'm sure you'll agree? Augy, San Diego
Jerry had many great attributes but perhaps his greatest is that he never ran out of things to say with his solos. Peggy-O ain't all that complicated and they played it hundreds of times, yet here we are discussing which version is best all because of the variety of killer solos Jerry turned in on this tune. Me, myself, personally? I like '82 Peggy-O. I know most heads don't care much for early 80s but I'd challenge you to find a subpar Peggy-O from '82.
casey....5.3.87 frost amphitheatre. peggy-o. nothing compares. I promise you'll get a better story. the most perfect story ever and never forget it :-)
I was at this show in the Phil zone about fifty feet from the fat man, when he drops his pick, awe man goosebumps, everyone I went to that show w is now dead I hope they’re dancing in heaven
After seeing the last three Chicago shows, man do I miss what Jerry brought to the Dead and music! No disrespect to the rest of the band, Bruce and Trey
Some may argue that there were more technically proficient guitarists, some may say there were more inventive guitarists, and there are plenty that cram more notes in a bar, but NOBODY has ever played with more emotion than Jerry.
I searched archive.org for every version of Peggy O. I put them in chronological order and listened to every live version they ever played over a 2 week period. I This was not in my top 5 list. Unfortunately, I lost my iPod that had my favorite version but it was a 1978 show. Can't remember the specific show. I would highly HIGHLY recommend listening to every version in a row. It will take 2 to 3 weeks but trust me. Just do it.
I got into the Dead just a few months ago, and this song strikes such a chord with me. I’ve watched most every performance on UA-cam. I now know what I must do next. Thank you!
@@campsjams Andrew, it seems like you'd get bored listening to 1 song hundreds of times over a short time frame but I promise, you will love this exercise. I've tried it with other songs but just couldn't get into it like with Peggy O. It didn't work for St Stephen or Dark Star. I'm not sure those songs are structured for this way to listen to them. I think next I will try it with Row Jimmy or Althea.
This appears to be Las Vegas, Sam Boyd Stadium, I was standing in the 2nd row when he played this. I won't forget that purple shirt. Vince Welnick on the boards did a pretty good job! It was a 101 degrees at night and they had stations where they sprayed folks with cold water hoses and filled water bottles. We met sooo many nice folks there :)
Jerry pulls emotion from God and lets us mortals here it. Bless him. He is SORELY missed. I smoked weed with him in 1975 backstage when he played with Merle Saunders. It was supposed to be mine; I promised him great Jamaican weed I was running from Jamaica but I changed shirts before the concert and the joins I rolled were in the shirt I didn't wear. "No problem." said Jerry. We'll smoke mine". I was embarrassed but got pretty high, so....there's that.
I keep telling this tale but I Hated the GD when I was growing up, just despised them because all I ever heard and all my stoners ever played was 'Truckin' and I found it lacking in so many ways, I vowed to stay away from them. Fast forward when I was 23 and got a job as a night auditor at a hotel, balancing the days books. My claim to fame was knocking out all the work then getting stoned and gliding high the rest of the night. One time some guy from the previous shift left some dead tapes and I pressed "Play"..That was all she wrote! I still dislike Truckin' and thankfully they did not play them much during my 32 concerts I saw of them :)
I have to agree at this point. I would have to go thru all the old tapes and SBD's. But I saw them over 100 times and can say this is a very melodic, pretty and high energy version of this classic. Thanks for the post.
This is by far! One of the most beautiful songs ever written / performed!!! Keep the faith and keep on jamming Jerry! Bring us home to the promise land!!
I woke up the only person left on the blacktop of the Excalibur casino parking lot and needless to say it was fuckin hot and I was so beyond angry, angrier than any previous show and Sam Boyd 94" made like 390 but my people had to step over me to get in the van so after walking, because I was so mad I had fuckin smoke coming off me and u was bottom row Phil zone, 15 feet from stage when they dropped this gem n right when he dropped his pick I spun around and there were my people yo, I hugged em and I wish I could one more time because they're all gone but epic moments epic memories, love to all man
So this was '94? Amazing, just amazing. I saw Dead & Co. this summer 4 times and John was great...BUT, to hear Jerry playing this song in his impossible to emulate style, is to be reminded what a unique talent Jerry was. I got to see him play this song live once, definitely one of my favorites, and possibly is my favorite. Love this video, thanks so much for posting.
He left us all to soon... What a beautiful soul!!! This song brings tears to all that are blessed to hear it. True talent and he loved each and every one of us.. RIP... I know they are loving hearing you in Heaven my friend.
I saw these guys live something like 70-times...and it was always special to get this song. This is actually a very old American folk song whose origins are unknown...the name of the song is actually "Fennarrio" or "Fenarrio" and many others have also covered this song. I miss Jerry, but I feel lucky to have seen them as many times as I did, and really like this version...thanks for posting.
@@itsgonnbeok7249 The lyrics depict a story set in Fennario, where a captain falls deeply in love with a woman named Pretty Peggy-O. He proposes marriage to her, promising freedom for her cities in return. However, Peggy-O hesitates because she feels he doesn't have enough wealth (guineas), fearing her mother's disapproval. The captain, on the other hand, believes that Peggy-O's mother might change her mind upon seeing his wealth and position. However, as the song progresses, there is a tone of despair and a sense of a doomed love. The captain warns that if he ever returns, he would burn her cities, suggesting a tumultuous and possibly unrequited relationship. Ultimately, Sweet William (the captain) dies, having spent all he had for a maid, and Peggy-O is left to mourn his loss. The lyrics narrate a tragic tale of love, societal expectations, and the consequences of decisions made in the throes of passion.
Thats my cousin Jerry miss him. I hung out Vince W and jammed out with him in Tempe Az at an Earth Mother Mind Jam. Vince sang and played piano and I accompanied him on Hammond B-3. before he went to the party in the sky with Jerry. anyone with footage of that show hit me up
Once again I agree !!!! They need to get there dumb ass thumbs checked, and ears cleaned out!!!!! Thank goodness for the True Heads on here!!!! We all know who we are... Just by the kind words we write on here. Peace N Love to you DT117
This has been my favorite GD song since I first heard it via a bootleg cassette. I finally found the version online a few years ago - but this is a close second. Jerry sounds so good! (My #1 - 5/10/78)
The beauty of jerry Garcia makes me cry .. he pulls your soul out of heaven and sits it on your chest
I was searching for the words, and found them here.
Your beautiful
No one like him and there never will be! He is so beloved and to this day has a great huge following!! And still growing...
Wow beautiful!
Read the quote from Bob Dylan on Jerry’s passing. It is pretty amazing
I went to college for music. I'm only a percussionist, but this is the most theoretically correct and auditorrily stimulating solo that I've ever heard in my life. I listen to this solo nightly. And it always makes me smile... Always...
Bob Mason Listen to it all the time ... love love love absolute fav
+Bob Mason Must say you use big words but the best description by one that writes about this song-I can drift away with it
Yes, indeed.
I think 5/9/77 is the best one. Check it out. It blows this one away.
Bob Mason that was a great version of Peggy o but 5/11/77 blows this away
Jerry gets tons of love for his guitar playing, and rightly so, but that voice was also priceless.
His voice is not priceless, it's what he does with it that is. He pours more emotion to his singing than most other singers.
Jay
The GfD if ya could last is great
@@JayChevako & the emotion in his voice manifests into a transcendental storytelling experience
hot take, but jerrys singing is not that great and often out of key, including in this video at moments

Let there be songs to fill the air
Can’t even imagine how many times I’ve come back to this video over the last 20+ years. May be the most beautiful guitar solo I’ve ever heard.

As long as people are listening to his music he continues to exist forever.
Just close your eyes and listen brings you right back to the good old days. This song always makes me cry happy tears
Pretty sure I was at this show…Vegas 6/24/94 first set…so good

There is something great about the wind blowing Jerry's hair around. Such an amazing song!!
It’s not the wind..they had big industrial fans blowing onto the front of the stage that night. I was there.
An old time head told this novice listener that Jerry's playing sometimes reminds you of raindrops....or teardrops. Miss you Jerry.
and sunbeams
Jerry’s solo during looks like rain off without a net, captures this sentiment perfectly!
Little knits 🧶 that wrap you up in the blanket of music.

Surreal performance by ol four fingers
4.5 fingers..all of them crazy :)

Nice version...but my favorite is 4/16/78 Huntington, WV.

He proposes marriage to her, promising freedom for her cities in return. However, Peggy-O hesitates because she feels he doesn't have enough wealth (guineas), fearing her mother's disapproval. The captain, on the other hand, believes that Peggy-O's mother might change her mind upon seeing his wealth and position. However, as the song progresses, there is a tone of despair and a sense of a doomed love. The captain warns that if he ever returns, he would burn her cities, suggesting a tumultuous and possibly unrequited relationship. Ultimately, Sweet William (the captain) dies, having spent all he had for a maid, and Peggy-O is left to mourn his loss.
The lyrics narrate a tragic tale of love, societal expectations, and the consequences of decisions made in the throes of passion.
Awesome thanks - if you want to hear a great song from 1995 listen to visions of Johanna Philadelphia 95 I was there
Indubididily
The guy was a fashion statement and the greatest guitarist that evet lived play on Jerry!!!!
This is based on the old Scottish tune “The Bonnie Lass of Fyvie-o“.
June 26, 1994 - Sam Boyd Silver Bowl.

The best 15 years of my life was traveling to see Jerry Garcia play.
This really might be the best Peggy O ever
Song gives me goosebumps.
Thats my cousin Jerry miss him. I hung out Vince W and jammed out with him in Tempe Az at an Earth Mother Mind Jam. Vince sang and played piano and I accompanied him on Hammond B-3. before he went to the party in the sky with Jerry. anyone with footage of that show hit me up
This solo takes me to a place where everything is ok.
I was here in Vegas it was around my 375th show and I look back and everyone i was w has passed away almost feels like I was left by myself w nobody
I may not have been there with you but you're not alone. We are all still here listening to the sonic vibrations that go on and on and on.
Purple Garcia should be a weed strain
I’ve never heard a bad Peggy-O. Couldn’t pick a best one though.
Hahah I feel you on that
I dream of this song when I'm sleeping and when I'm not.
Great version! I have Jerry's guitar solos...very melodic and unique. This is a favorite Grateful Dead tune of mine.
That solo is impossible. I can't believe it.
104 thumbs down? I can’t wrap my head around1?!?!?!?!?
Once again I agree !!!! They need to get there dumb ass thumbs checked, and ears cleaned out!!!!! Thank goodness for the True Heads on here!!!! We all know who we are... Just by the kind words we write on here. Peace N Love to you DT117
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, we miss you old friend...
Magical espesially on LSD!
The Dead: They will always get you lost, and they will always bring you home.
I fucking love you Jerry!
What would your momma think?
This is a great rendition of the song and its these old traditional based songs that Jerry really sings great in his later years.
Had to come to this version after the playing in the sand version to hear it done properly.
Several times this week!
This is Vegas 6.26.94 🎅🏿
muy gracias. bueno. muy bueno. Thank you!
This has been my favorite GD song since I first heard it via a bootleg cassette. I finally found the version online a few years ago - but this is a close second. Jerry sounds so good! (My #1 - 5/10/78)
I think it's from the Las Vegas concert: June 26, 1994
