Yes sir ! I was there on the floor that night , my first Jerry Garcia Band show ! You can hear me cheering for Jerry ! Convention Hall Asbury Park New Jersey 1977 , I'm almost 56 now , I was 15 years old on that night and it's still so amazing to watch and hear I'm dancing and crying at the same time PEACE , NOT FADE AWAY JERRY GARCIA
I was there that cold winter day waiting in line on side walk to Waterbury theater for great time great show good times great days with jerry garcia band
I saw JGB several times over the 70s years, a few times at a club called Crabshaw Corner in midtown Sacramento. I worked at a little VW repair shop and the club owner used to give me tickets instead of money when I worked on his car. John Kahn on bass, and Donna was there on vocals with Jerry. Donna often reminded me of a screech owl, but this night her voice was ethereal. They did an haunting version of this song. I still think about it, it was so good. I recognized a friend of mine running the sound board that night and asked him years later if he recorded it. Sadly, he said in those days he could barely afford to keep his equipment running much less buy reel-reel tapes to record. I'm glad to have lived then and seen them. I'm 70 now.
I didn't mean to do a thunder sound on any of the music it was a mistake forgive me and let me be forgiven by others and just take it a day at a time and just relax enjoy the summer swim play around and by September I think I should be looking pretty good then in January I split turn February
Both Jerry & Kahn are playing their Travis Bean aluminum neck guitars! They sound GREAT. Never Forget: Jerry played some of his most immortal jams on that Travis Bean. 👍👏👏👏👏✌🎵🎸🎵💃😎
You can see a nanosecond when the line "one day the axe just fell" hits him for a nanosecond and he misses a few words after. I assume most people know his brother accidentally chopped his middle finger off with an axe... He's so out of his ego when he plays but... it's just amazing these little reminders of his humanity. We didn't leave him much room for that. Such an amazing moment... 'if you look at it right'.
That is interesting, I do know the story, along with anything I can find out about jerry. I consider myself a grateful dead scholar, because I am straight up obsessed as most of us are. Funny though, your story reminds me of dewey cox cutting his brother in half with a machete.
@@benringenberg2394 wow Great catch! Wonder if this was something that flashed though his mind…he slayed the rest of the songs after that line though dang
great rendition of a classic. Jerry always did his friend Dylan justice; he add his own soul to the songs without overhauling the original vision. Talent in the extreme.
Jerry was a much better performer than Dylan. There's a reason Dylan got the Nobel prize for literature, not music. The Dylan/Dead tour was a low point in the history of the Dead.
The Knocking from 77 is also awesome... 77 has a vibe... hanging, smoking cigs... while it was still cool, doing other stuff, while it still worked... never cool... ☮️ Miss you Jerry! You and the boys left some great groundwork for the bands to follow!
Miss him so... The day the music died. I was shocked when a co-worker mentioned it so casually at lunch. Like some guy Jerry Garcia... I must have turned more than a touch of gray!
I think that's why Dylan performed with the Dead and Tom Petty in the summer of 1986., because I read an article later on that said Dylan was a fan of Garcia's renditions of his songs
This is what it is all about. Subtle start building into hot fire spawning from ancient world celestial knowledge only three people to have ever lived, Jerry and Bob D and Johann Sebastian Bach, have experienced. Well here we have one performing the works of one, Bach you’re still the boiiiiiiiii. Peace Love Milkshakes.
god knows you've paid your dues getting thru. to us jerry, in the end you paid the ultimate price and you did it mostly for us i believe. thank you brother. much love.
A young guy comes to my home to deliver pizza. I answered the door wearing a Dead shirt, Dead playing on my stereo. He had a tie dye shirt on. He says can I ask you something? Did you actually get to see Jerry? I told him I'm not sure how many times but yes, many dozens of Dead and JGB Shows . I instantly became the kids hero because I saw his legend so many times Now, I get pizza delivered in 20 minutes and a few questions that I'm happy to answer each time. On one hand it's cool but on the other it makes me realize that I'm 10 years older than Jerry was when he passed. Let that 1 sink in.
I thought you'd never say hello she said You look like the silent type Then open up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burning coal Pourin' off of every page Like it was written in my soul From me to you Tangled up in blue

I had just seen the dead twice that spring , this was my first Jerry Band show , shortly after this was Englishtown . I have all the stubs saved - 1977 :)
I saw my first four GD shows that Spring: Springfield 4/23, NYC Palladium 4/29, New Haven 5/5, and Boston 5/7, before Englishtown 9/3. This night on the Asbury boardwalk was an extra-fine treat one hot Summer night in between Spring and Labor Day and the start of sophomore year of college. I got to the Waterbury Thanksgiving Eve show that year, too. All very great.
Then I suggest you watch him play Eyes of the World with his other band about a year later (Duke 78, black and white video is on youtube). Not saying it's more beautiful, just really really nice. Cheers
with no grateful dead shows during the summer of 1977 ~ Jerry Garcia Band - Tangled Up in Blue Recorded Live: 7/9/1977 - Convention Hall - Asbury Park, NJ
Jack Trick tell Mickey and Bill to step it up, or see Cheese, Panic, Phish or listen to Bobby defend that pace? So urgent, w h e e l to t h e s t o r m.... spacing intentional...Neal just drove the bus off a cliff, he was so pissed with the tempo... alright everybody sit down... And content...really? BTW, it is not John Mayers fault... go see JRAD! Good old Dead, fast, not perfect! Ain't no time to hate!
@@jackstraw5602 & Jack Trick - I don't blame any of the later folks/ there is just simply no way to follow this guy - he was the one & only and that is something - no matter who you are Mayer/Haynes/Herring / Anastasio (all great) you're never gonna come close to pulling it off
1977 JGB was so tight...Keith plays a very percussive piano that intertwines so nicely with Ron Tutt’s drums and it gives JG a nice foundation. Personally I was never a John Kahn fan but obviously JG connected with him on a deep level.
Yes sir ! I was there on the floor that night , my first Jerry Garcia Band show ! You can hear me cheering for Jerry !

Grateful Shed This was a helluva show.
Can you time stamp the Jerry? Probably useless to ask but it seems so cool!
Truly amazing never stop telling the stories 🌈
Amen!
Hallelujah for Jerry wherever he is!
It still brings tears to my eyes one of the best Jerry shows I've ever seen the only not fade away❤
That was cherry Jerry. Captain Trips rides again. We were all kids back then, and we danced 'til dawn. Happy days. Gotta love it.
Holy Ballls John khan is the real mvp here with this sick bass line
I was there that cold winter day waiting in line on side walk to Waterbury theater for great time great show good times great days with jerry garcia band

That is the most sincere and touching comment that will be written about this show. Stay healthy and thank you for sharing that story.
Miss the man saw him about 100 times in the 80's my best memories miss the life, tour, mail order tickets and the friends!
Jerry & Jersey, an unbeatable combination.
Wow😎never listen to music the same way again 😎🌹
Ronnie Tutt here on drums, just about a month before Elvis died.
Whomever gave this a "thumbs down" go the nearest mirror, and slap the taste out ya mouth.
Haha! Tell em'!
this cover really sucks ass compared to Dylan's, though, you gotta admit
No visual slap my mouth over whatever kind of music I love all world music be
Hey I listen to all kinds of music and I really enjoy drums space and set 1 and 2 drums and space
I didn't mean to do a thunder sound on any of the music it was a mistake forgive me and let me be forgiven by others and just take it a day at a time and just relax enjoy the summer swim play around and by September I think I should be looking pretty good then in January I split turn February
Garcia's on FIRE 🔥..whole bad is groovin HIGH man..I miss my ole friend Jerry 🪐🍄💥🚀😵💫
Thanks
What an artist…
seen a hundred jerry shows. this was in the top 5 ! not fade away!. come on. it was magical. worth a listen. turn it up. I'm uncle sam!
Hot off the Dead’s EPIC spring 1977 tour, Garcia is on fire here! What a joy to see and hear!❤
Both Jerry & Kahn are playing their Travis Bean aluminum neck guitars! They sound GREAT. Never Forget: Jerry played some of his most immortal jams on that Travis Bean. 👍👏👏👏👏✌🎵🎸🎵💃😎
The Travis is my personal favorite of all Jer's guitars. But I am huge jazz fan, so naturally it makes sense
He said it was the most precise guitar he ever played, probably because it stayed in tune with its all aluminum neck and unique sound.
true im pretty sure he used the bean most of may-77

I always thought that was an allusion to a murder committed by the narrator.
great rendition of a classic. Jerry always did his friend Dylan justice; he add his own soul to the songs without overhauling the original vision. Talent in the extreme.
Wonderfully put. It's VERY hard to cover Dylan. Not many can do it.
But Jerry could.
and he did damn well
Edmund Carrington Poetic Justice at that...RIP Jerry
He was a master of subtelty. Dylan actually said that in jerry's eulogy. I feel that's why his covers always translated so well.
Jerry was a much better performer than Dylan.
There's a reason Dylan got the Nobel prize for literature, not music. The Dylan/Dead tour was a low point in the history of the Dead.
The Jerry John look and smile fucking kills me!!!
There's a mean fucking Dead show going on up in heaven, that is heaven as far as I'm concerned.
They just shared a “shot”…☮️🙏
Saw them at frechies camp, Humboldt county cal. 86 they did about 8 Dylan songs. Incredible
Love Keith Godchaux. His playing sounds just right with JGB.
I miss this man, he was classy as they come, bonified guitarist, certified performer!
We all do 😉
I waz there... 22 years old.. 5th row with good ole' Fredo sitting on my lap.. liquid...3 months later living in S.F. Winterland...
The Knocking from 77 is also awesome... 77 has a vibe... hanging, smoking cigs... while it was still cool, doing other stuff, while it still worked... never cool... ☮️ Miss you Jerry!
You and the boys left some great groundwork for the bands to follow!
Cant stop watching this! I’m not a deadhead but I’m getting there.
Honestly close to beating the dead here. Jerry natural in this element
If u can't stop watching you are a deadhead
Jerry’s guitar was always so distinctive. Gives this song a different flavor. Nice
I always liked the Stratocaster the best, but then The Wolfie took over in the early 1970's and that's the Best until the 1970's to their vacation
Music in the cafes at night, revolution in the air
Miss him so... The day the music died. I was shocked when a co-worker mentioned it so casually at lunch. Like some guy Jerry Garcia... I must have turned more than a touch of gray!
Nice
Thanks again..
Thank you Jerry and all God bless
Probably my favorite JGB track. He makes it his own and somehow keeps the flavor of the original.
I think that's why Dylan performed with the Dead and Tom Petty in the summer of 1986., because I read an article later on that said Dylan was a fan of Garcia's renditions of his songs

Dominick Micale ... Amen Bro ... he had quite the load on his shoulders, yet he kept on taking care of us 'heads to the end.
our god damn hero :) at least mine. lol
Travis Bean guitar just screams. My favorite guitar he ever played
The bass on this was killer.
John Kahn…RIP
Jerry’s brother…..
Very sad…
Check out how John Kahn “followed” Jer 🙏
These were great days !
Seems like another century ago,
when I was young....and so was Jerry :)
Jerry is on point that night. What a great solo...
My god, the second solo is brilliant too...
77 was greatest year for Jerry and the dead
God Bless You sweet angel Jerry Garcia! Still inspiring souls DAILY!!!
Excellent! That man was something else.
This is the best jgb line up of all time IMO… Ron tutt and Keith! Doesn’t get any better than this right here
I wish I could have seen this man live
A young guy comes to my home to deliver pizza. I answered the door wearing a Dead shirt, Dead playing on my stereo. He had a tie dye shirt on. He says can I ask you something?

David-O, as you can read in my various comments on this page, I was there, and as you know already, it was OUTSTANDING.
One day no one alive will have seen Jerry live, but his music will move them. He is everywhere, always.
Such a fine and soulful man and terrific band
There is no other like this man. Forever Jerry!
This is fantastic ... love this rendention.
*rendition. 😉
His movements at 740 really spoke to me.
I thought you'd never say hello she said
You look like the silent type
Then open up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul
From me to you
Tangled up in blue
oooooooooh.
Yep ! sheer brilliance from, the man @!
That's the lyric that got me decades ago...a beautiful grinning view of a lyric.✌️🌌
Dylan might be the greatest lyricist of the 20th century
@@cl2984I wasn't aware that was even up for debate
JGB I love it more than the Dead. Love the John kahn bass.
God, to be able to go back in time. Just this one show.... this one song. One last dance.
I was there, and I do go back in time to this show and night frequently; having this great recording helps. Aloha!
He was so much to me
This song, it’s a gazillion lyrics, so many words to remember, Unbelievable…
Played this UNH 1986
Freedom
JERRY we miss you. Keep on, keeping on!
Jerry has done so many Dylan songs - my favorite being It's all over now baby blue
Thank you
His guitar leads sound so good!
30 years ago I was listening to this song, a bootleg, I reached up, broke the rear view mirror off the windshield and never looked back again
Dylan must be proud! A knock out of intelligence and sesitivity. Thank you Jerry Garcia!
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin'
I was layin' in bed
Wondrin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like
Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bank book wasn't big enough
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues
Gettin' through
Tangled up in blue
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say over my shoulder
We'll meet again some day
On the avenue
Tangled up in blue
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I was looking for to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind
And I just grew
Tangled up in blue
She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, Don't I know your name?
I muttered somethin' under my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces
Of my shoe
Tangled up in blue
She lit a burner on the stove
And offered me a pipe
I thought you'd never say hello, she said
You look like the silent type
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And everyone of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul
From me to you
Tangled up in blue
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafés at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue
So now I'm goin' back again
I got to get to her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters' wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue
My favorite Dylan song covered by one of my favorite humans.
jerrys first solo just takes you away
I'm never going to get enough!
I had just seen the dead twice that spring , this was my first Jerry Band show , shortly after this was Englishtown . I have all the stubs saved - 1977 :)
You caught on at a good time.That 77 tour was killer!
WOW 77 was a good year! Lucky soul
Love name Grateful!
Shed Peace out
I saw my first four GD shows that Spring: Springfield 4/23, NYC Palladium 4/29, New Haven 5/5, and Boston 5/7, before Englishtown 9/3. This night on the Asbury boardwalk was an extra-fine treat one hot Summer night in between Spring and Labor Day and the start of sophomore year of college. I got to the Waterbury Thanksgiving Eve show that year, too. All very great.
Happy 76th Birthday to Jerry G!

No Donna moaning! That's what makes this unique for the era.
I feel you, I am not a Donna fan, think she is slightly better than Yoko
This is Good!
There's revolution in the air
His first solo just floats. Starts at something special 350
Hes super loose
I own that speaker cabinet off to Jerry’s left.
how amazing we can seehear this, #privileged
Yes exactly. Jerry......
Nobody rips a lead like Paw Garcia! RIP
no doubt
1977 JGB was so tight...Keith plays a very percussive piano that intertwines so nicely with Ron Tutt’s drums and it gives JG a nice foundation.
Personally I was never a John Kahn fan but obviously JG connected with him on a deep level.

Keith, you got an extra cup? Concessions...☮️
AnvilOfTheGods
You do understand why?
Look into John’s passing after Jerry, these were the horsemen....
All around worship.... some good...🍭
Garcia Forever
Love 70’s Jerry
Really Really Good!
It would be interesting to see the audience. I would be doing back-flips if I was in attendance.
