Jerry was and because he and the entire crew treated me like a long lost child.4-24-71 they were at the local hockey team rink, the stage was low with him sitting on the edge with his feet hanging over.Eye to eye with him I asked him if I could sit behind a stack of amps. He smiled and as he got up he looked at Ramrod and pointed to me and was off to play. The first person I meet around the back of the amp was Bear,dropping liquid acid onto the back of people’s heads. I stick my hand just under his nose and he looks up and says “oh want some also, I hold my hand there and he puts 4 drops on it and I lick it off and can say 70years later, it’s the best thing I ever did.⚡️🖖🏽⚡️🎸⚡️
This is country,this is rock,this is acoustic, this is from the heart. This is gospel, this is TRUE spirituality : non- denominational, universal, REAL. One reason I'm blessed to have seen the Dead a number of times before Jerry passed.
I used to argue with my father that the Grateful Dead were modern folk music. He disagreed strenuously. He sent me the cover of Time Magazine when Jerry passed. His way of saying I was right.😊
If I knew the way, I would take you home. Let's take a moment to acknowledge the brilliance of Robert Hunter, who wrote these words and most of the others the Dead sang (and who, I only learned recently, is the great-great-grandson of the great Scottish poet Robert Burns - obviously something was passed in the genes).
Robert wrote this one afternoon sitting in London with a case of wine. He wrote 3 that day., Ripple, Brokedown Palace, and To Lay Me Down. Genius indeed. ✌️
Did mark really really write maybe cut out the tuning next time? Lol ever been to a dead show? Ever owned a dead bootleg? Whatever. anyway thanks for the upload.
Ganja, the gateway drug. Thank heavens! Love you, miss you Jerry. Allthese years later.
One of the Most Beautiful Songs ever Written!!!
Absolutely.
YES.🕊🌻🕊
Last Ripple till 1980, such a shame they played this so rarely, one of the greatest songs ever written
Especially when the audience just eats it up. A great mystery indeed.
Really!? Thats wierd... maybe donna and keith couldnt make it sound right? Maybe. Amazing song
Donna would've massacred this song beyond all recognition. It's better they don't play it much.
One of my all time favorites. Wish I could have met Jerry. He seemed like a down to earth person. R.I.P. brother

it is so organic.......when it comes from the soul and heart, there is no reason to bark........
Thank God for country music. this is perfect for sitting on the porch and sipping some whiskey or whatever
this isnt country music bud.

Still one of the most beautiful.

Thank you Jerry and the grateful dead band , I'm more than great full you exist! ✌️💖🌈
Stunning performance.
AND you promoted it in a REAL hifi bitrate!
Cannot thank you enough for that.
I wish I knew why this song means so much to me!
because if Jerry knew the way he would take you home, and that's enough to bring a tear to your eye.
When it hits you, you’ll know. 🥰
Peace! I think I just miracled a memory.
One of very few electric versions so awesome! Thank you!!
