    Help on the Way/Slipnot/Franklin's Tower
    The Music Never Stopped

    Welcome to the deepest rabbit hole in music ! If you get into this band you will always have something new to listen to. There is so much to be said about the history of the band the mind blowing level of fan loyalty and of course the decades of dedication to live performances , endless beautiful music !

      We’re so damn lucky that The Dead has their “taper policy” and also recorded damn near everything themselves! So glad that so many great soundboards are emerging! I’m currently plowing through Spring 77, one of my favorite periods! Super “sleeper” show was one I was lucky enough to make: Tuscaloosa AL 5/17/77. Check it if you haven’t! Lot of energy!

    “Ripple”, “Truckin’”, “Uncle John’s Band”, “Casey Jones”, “Friend of the Devil”, “Scarlet Begonias”, “Fire on the Mountain”, “Touch of Grey” are all phenomenal Grateful Dead songs, but this list just scratches the surface, lol. Definitely a rabbit hole worth diving into. 👍

    Terrapin Station off Terrapin Station is a brilliant tune. The Dead would play for 4hrs or more live. Never playing a song the same way two nights in a row, one night for 8mins the next for 28mins. Thus they allowed recording devices and they have 1,246,323 bootlegs.

    Deepest of all rabbit holes! And the most fun! Pig Dead is a lot different than what the band eventually became. If you’re digging Pigpen, I would suggest Easy Wind, Mr.Charlie, Lovelight, and Good Lovin’. That’s enough to hold you for a while, then you might be ready for Bluegrass Dead, Country Dead, Hard Rocking Dead or Trippy Jam Dead. You have much to look forward to! I will say that this (Grateful Dead) is a Trip best taken with a “tour guide” to point you to the best live versions etc.

    I absolutely love Grateful Dead they’re songs are just pure jams and they play so tight together! If your going to continue exploring more of the Grateful Dead I highly recommend listening to Dead and Company…. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! Dead and Company is basically the remaining members of the original band but with John Mayer as well (considered among the music community as the one of the few living guitar hero’s left of this generation)… they still cover the Dead’s original tracks but with John Mayer’s guitar and vocals as well it just takes the songs to new levels imo. I would recommend starting off with ‘Brown Eyed Women’ or ‘Deep Elem Blues’ as the songs are all live jams that can extend up to 15-20 mins long whereas those are both under 10 mins…
    But yea highly recommend checking it out!

      Guitarist??? These newbies get me going Zay!
      I've been a Deadhead for 50 BIG years since 1973!
      Loving every single second with Jerry Garcia live, man! You like the blues? Gotta hear a long, live version of Black Peter, LOSER, and
      Brokedown Palace!! Stay at it you'll love it & have great fun for years!!!

  • @WeirdErnie

    On the main groove of the song, the two guitars are playing complimentary parts that fit together to make the rhythm under the singing and it almost sounds like it's only one guitar. They were like old time dixieland jazz bands where every player was doing their own thing (sometimes wildly), but it all fit together to make the song.

  • @TTM9691
    @TTM9691 2 роки тому +7

    The Grateful Dead could be fantastic live, but they're not very well represented on their released material, especially their studio stuff. So I'm happy to see you check this one out, because it's one of the few "officially released" tracks that I think capture their vibe. Basically you have to imagine a room (or stadium) filled with people tripping on LSD and mushrooms, lol. The "jamming" becomes like an audio kaleidoscope. This one gives a glimmer of that, definitey.

  • @therocknrollmillennial535
    @therocknrollmillennial535 2 роки тому +5

    Hey Zay! Great choice! Now you've opened up 2 rabbit holes, at least from my perspective: The Grateful Dead and The Black Crowes. The Crowes did a cover of this cover and, while I like this version better (because who doesn't like the Dead?), I think that the Crowes' cover did the song well, just in a different style. I'd request either the Grateful Dead-Scarlet Begonias, or The Black Crowes-She Talks to Angels.
    Also, super funny "coincidence" (I think it was intentional, but you never know): The Dead's version of Scarlet Begonias has a length of 4:20.

    • @tommathews3964
      @tommathews3964 2 роки тому +1

    Hey Zay, now you know why the Grateful Dead had millions of fans that followed them everywhere, aka Dead Heads. I personally saw them in Maine, Wisconsin, Florida, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and it was the best 15 years of my life. A deep and wide "rabbit hole" with many different styles and genres. Blues, Funk, Gospel, Jazz, Modal, Country, Rock, Polka, in short Americana. If it was good music, they played it. The voice was Mr. Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, the guitar was Mr. Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia, along with Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzman and Mickey Hart. RIP Pigpen and Jerry. Take what you heard and continue for another three and a half or four hours, and you'll know why all the fuss. You're on the bus.

    Lol, I don't know how I found this vid, or how I even got into this supposed genre of "watching other people discover old music for the first time." But I gotta say, I'm still enjoying it. Lots of others are more "classically trained" and will pause the music frequently to share their opinions on it. It's fine, but I like how this guy just ended up listening the whole way thru. I don't know if that's odd or common for him, but I liked it. We got to jam out together, at the same time, no interruptions. I'm pretty sure I liked it better than people who pause the music. I might be coming back.

    This is one of their worst songs you could react to. It's not even their song, it's a cover. Can't wait to see more reactions to them b/c they are incredible. Check out: The Other One, The Eleven, Shakedown Street, Help>Slip>Franllin's Tower, Saint Stephen, Chinacat Sunflower, I Know You Rider, Ripple, Uncle Johns Band, Eyes of the World, Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain, Mississippi Halfstep just to name a few.

    Only a passable version of this song. Listen to the original by Otis Redding and forget this version.
