"Calebration' - TV broadcast with FM simulcast KQED-San Francisco
As far as "quality," forget the vid-aspect... That's part of its awesomeness! Are you kidding me... It's The Dead '70 playing for a PBS-shoot; doing the Greatest albums ever: Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, raw! I guess, I'm a fan.
And not one down vote. Gives me hope for humanity.
I give a down vote on the stupid, square-ass shooting and editing of this. Only when Easy Wind ends do we see the whole band??? A super hot Easy Wind and we never see them working together, no Phil, only Jerry's right hand, just a few seconds of Weir's awesome fingerings. What a missed opportunity. Great, GREAT performance!!! Totally asinine taping.
Wow, what energy! The Dead were a powerful force to reckoned with. I'll love their music until the day I die, and maybe longer!
I was 13 when this was recorded and on Freeport GBI... Historical Awesome Tribalness
I do, on a daily basis. Man, do I miss the bliss of a Grateful Dead show. So often I think of the Phil line 'it's all a dream we dreamed on afternoon long ago'. I saw over 500 shows and I still can't begin to explain the magic to folks who never had the experience. Luckily, they are the most musically preserved band there has ever been.
unacat09 im really hoping the exploding festival scene brings about some jam bands and new ideas. I do believe it will come back in some form or another.
Me too
This is the greatest Dead show anyone can ever watch! Sums everything-up... cosmic, but earthy... Robert Hunter is a poet!
very good..........................................
This was a bit over a year after my story with the Dead started when I was a 9th grade HS freshman. Loved 'em ever since. Thanks Eddie! Foxhall Lars.
1970 was a good year, good music, good wine and good woman .........
Wow! thanks!!!!! The good old days. I remember getting in trouble with my Aunt Irene because I was listening to this show on KSAN (Best Station Ever!) We were at 20th and Hampshire and I would get in trouble for listening to the radio to much! She was a great lady, she just liked older music.
kick ass Easy Wind, long live Ronnie...thanks!
Thanks for making me 15 years old again!!
Killer upload
Muchos gracias senor'(orsenorita)
I wish for you to win the lottery you totally deserve it
something so special about this pbs calebration performance the band was really on and i love the sound and jerry and they boys energy back then love the candyman version on here ty
They just got better and better each year. by late 68 they were a powerhouse and nobody did what they could do, in fact nobody ever went near. You could hear their influence on early Allman Brothers, duane just adored Jerry and they had an influence on the original Fleetwood Mac with Greeny and Danny. Such phenominal music then. RIP Jerry, PIG, and Duane.
hammer44head Jerry admired the Allman bros as well. Those 2 bands defined the "jam" sub genre. Many time emulated but never repeated. I gotta say weather people like them or not the Dave Matthews band did some great thing for the genre and music in general with the sax and violin. Really opened my eyes to the possibilites of music as a early teen. Love this music and its message of realism meets optimism.
why would anyone in their right mind criticize this? just so thankful it exists. que milagro. Great Post!!!! gREAT MUSIC. WHAT A WONDERFUL PRIMARY SOURCE DOCUMENT. Reality isn't 100% pristine, but the existence of this band and their music is the stuff of my life. every precious second...
to each their own......a true Deadhead would know this.
This was simulcast, shown on KQED and broadcast on KSAN, but of course the BetaMax wasn't out until '78 so seeing this again is a treat indeed. The studio setting is nice, but nothing ever comes close to the experience of a show. Jerry always said, "I never play the same song the same way, so when I'm done with it, they can have it." How many other acts have that attitude about taping their performances?
PBS kicked Ass with this one.
With all their imperfections, this band had such a fantastically beautiful fire; I miss them. Utterly unique in so many ways; they captured the universal longing of people everywhere for a decent, humane world. Too bad not enough of us give a damn enough to turn that desire into effective action; capital continues grinding up the world for profit, regardless what we sing along to.
I understand what you're saying, but it is perhaps an excessively bleak take. Are you doing anything that constitutes effective action? If not, you are talking about yourself.
Many thanks for posting this. It has its limitations but I still think this has the best version of Candyman I’ve ever heard. The tune was still new and fresh to them and to see and hear them sing and play through it so gracefully is such a treat. The audience seemed to like it. Again, many thanks!
Loved how they stick in an extra beat or two here and there between sections. Of course, this was all brand new, even to them, so leaving that extra space by way of a signal to each other is just the way they would roll.
wf.....how great this music sounds!!!!?? fantastic...
I wish my pbs picked this up.
As we move through the 21st century i pray that the exploding festival scene here in the states bring back some good jam band sound sculptures. The grateful dead created a beautiful concept that rock n roll can be jazz, folk or whatever else is felt by the musician. I really hope that this concept of improv and spirituality continues. Such beautiful music and such a loving scene i would love to experience. RIP pig, keith, brent, and jerry. I will do my best to keep the bus rolling.
And RIP Vince, and also John Perry Barlow and Robert Hunter.
An absolute gem. This made my day.
Awesome tunes from some glorious records,Jerry with the SG ,1970 was like all,a beautiful year.And the good times rolled on,and if you see that candy man blow the bastard to hell.Double barrel.
Summer of '67, standing outside this bookstore and a bearded barefoot guy wearing a monk's robe walks up. He told us he'd just got back in town and had been following the Dead. We'd just bought their first album so we knew this was pretty cool. Back then the Dead was like some kind of traveling musical commune. I didn't see them till 10 years later, and guess what? They still were!
This is pretty great. And for the record, I truly appreciate all the worthwhile comments. That's a rarity on any youtube video conversation :)
Thanks people, for your awesome comments. I do enjoy reading them. I have more video but keep getting them rejected by big brother. Will try and repost sometime soon. Keep enjoying this one though!
Fuck big brother ,cool video my friend good work.
Love you all thank u When in doubt ?..luv the song
Pig was the heart and soul of the band, at the beginning for sure.... until his passing.....they really learned from him.
Brings back some good memories
whoa....
Thanks.
Thank You very much for this. Here in Botswana internet is slow and I don 't get to see much streaming, This was a real treat and brought back great times and memory's!
The Dead at their best as usual! Thanks for uploading!
thanks!
This is fantastic, a real classic; thanks for posting.
At least they're not trying to save the world...Thank, god for awesome bar-bands, a modest church somewhere...
Pig sounds badass on Easy Wind
Thanks!
This was just five weeks before PBS officially took over for National Educational Television.
Great stuff, too bad the flickering twittering of the film, but wow...a fantastic period of the Dead. Thanks for posting.
I love me some Pig! Outstanding, thanks for posting.
Very Good performance!
Frontman Pig Pen! Can’t get enough!
I REALLY respect that!!
This is awesome!! Thank you kindly!!!
Easy Wind
I watched this doing clear dot in 1970.
EASY WIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)... genuine.outstanding.
Pigpen was incredible on the vocals
What a loss .
Sweet!!!
bobby the kid a mere 22 years old and now robert the elder...
a year ago today 15000 views, nice! must not forget, RIP mr. Lennon
hey was kid that made me dead head,I voted and won!
Now this is the Dead at their finest! About the end of 1977, I personally heard a big change in their sound...
Heroin
Jack Sprat Cocaine Bill said in his book was the worst. Jerry died from heroin OD . But test had stopped using long ago
Agreed
For me it happened between 1972 and 1975. They got slower, didn't talk with the audience and had less energy and inventiveness. They were by all means still amazing sometimes, just not as amazing as before.
It's rough but real. The Grateful Dead before technique replaced soul.
I was there!...
Not the biggest expert on GD iconography, but I saw the 'Steal Your Face' logo around 12:00, didn't realize it existed as early as '70.
7:09 begins my favorite live version of Candyman. Look out!
candyman is my favorite song of all time. it was such a joy to find this version!!
The original front man!! 😊
Away and gone
Yes, those visual effects -- they don't do that anymore! It's good to see Pigpen -- although he could be crude!
Play Easy Wind at my funeral
I really liked what I heard back in 76-78. As far as him being a junkie..? That's none of my business. I simply think his playing really expanded during those years.
Transmission date was 8/30/70. The actual performance date is unknown, but following their August appearances at Fillmore West.
Jerry Garcia is certainly playing with a lot of fire here. He really lost that fire in the following ten years.
The 70s were the best period of the dead almost undoubtably.
I was about 14..knew kpix executive producer...sat on the floor..close enough to touch the band
This was the bands peak 70/71 and the Dead died with Pigpen.
Damn, you said it pretty well my friend
Awesome video, thanks so much for posting. Don't know how I'd never seen this one. Really love the fast-paced Brokedown. Interesting that they chose not to play a Weir song.
Why 'interesting'? This was the Workingman's Dead/American Beauty era, when Hunter & Garcia wrote most of the songs.
yoo, is weir soloing on easy wind? around the 3:35 mark until 4:20-ish, before jerry starts his solo... you can hear lead guitar phrases being played while the camera zooms in on jerry and his SG but he's just strumming chords.
Yup. Bobby took the first solo on the recorded version as well.
Good catch, I never noticed that before.
Easy Wind.
yeah right on.....but there was a reason why he stopped.......it did sound good for awhile ....love harmonies on Til The Morning Comes...Cumberland....ii guess it really worker AmBeauty/Woringman's dead era
who'd a thunk PBS was sooo cool, sure beats sesame street!
Usted es algo correcto, Luis - que a menudo eran descuidado y mal. Pero, para aquellos que prestan atención, Phil Lesh y Bob Weir eran ambos guitarristas increíbles.
SMOKIN
Easy Wind from their 1969 studio album, Workingman's Dead
7:09
my favorite song of all time.
tight
Thanks friend; and btw, I love your "finger" clip art-thanks for the laugh. It's in the same (50s) style as "Bob Dobbs" if you know who that is (fictitious spiritual leader of the "Church of the Subgenius"). If you don't, you should check him out.
This video is awesome. Agree on 76-77 peak. I'd also vote for '73 Fall Tour. The only way i differ (respectfully) is that the 1989 to 1991 period has many outstanding shows.
I just gave this video its 420th like......4:20......do you get it? Aww.....nevermind.
Hello what I want to know is are you kind!! It's the same story it's the only 1 we know 3 Awww so cool thanks
i got some easy wind fer ya.
I'm a stone jack baller
This band never sounded quite as good vocally when Phil stopped singing high harmony.
Agreed way downhill with donna....but phil had some vocal cord issue i believe
What's the name of the first song?
Love this guys so much!
Easy Wind.
Check out Mr Charlie at the beat club 1972. Another great pig pen song. He also sang "hard to handle" which became a big hit for the black crowes. Died at 27 unfortunatly like many of the greats as we all know.
i never saw picasso come out of the dead like that before.. its good to live primal hedonistic prophetic lifestyle no blame there
Tell us what it was like..
Love the Dead, .. They peaked from 76-78, just my opinion. ( don't hate participate )
SuperJayfive that concert on youtube Cameron 1978 is fabulous.
But... 3:28 - 4:18 Weir is soloing! Thats pretty unusual I think.
Pig Pen !
THIS is the real Good Ol' Grateful Dead. Accept no substitutes, no dead and company, etc. those are just pale, unworthy impersonations.
Too bad the original producers opted for the faux psychedelia video effects for the beginning of Casey Jones...
No one's dancing!!
If Jerry was out of tune, he would have noticed man. Maybe he was playing off key for a moment but even then, any basically trained musician would notice.
brown eyed women and red grenadine...
1970. sorry just saying
