- LoloYodel : just the 3rd set and encores from this New Years show with the participation of Ms. Etta James & The Tower of Power !
PS : These are already posted and I didn't spend 1 hour to see if this was an upgrade, but I think it is ! (And if it ain't, who cares).
Color contrast made on the Master Copy (too "red").
Bobby & Phil seem to have a regal time ! Jerry seems bug-eyed but brings some subdued and tasty blues/jazz licks here and there. Bill Graham's last "breakfast in the morning" New Years (or was it ?). Arguably, with the exception of these encores, the rest of this show was substandard and "the cracks were beginning to show" ...
After a refreshed 1979-1981 phase, 1982 seemed almost like "business as usual" for the GD. Jerry, subjectively, was beginning to have degraded vocal changes (hmmmm ...)
Etta James (Tell Your Mama) : 8:10 : " The Grateful Dead is the badest Americain blues band in the world"... "When you hear the The Grateful Dead you hear the blues" ...
Here, we're already into 1983 and this 3rd New Years set is very coooool !
3rd set (encores) :
Turn On Your Love Light (Etta arrives at 4:35) ~
Tell Mama (5:50)
Baby What You Want Me To Do
Hard To Handle (20:20 Etta tries to find the lovelight with Jerry ... haha)
Midnight Hour (23:49)
Brokedown Palace (28:29)

Last "Midnight Hour": 04-29-1971
Final "Tell Mama"
19 thumbs down? Do to the nearest mirror, look at yourself real good. Smack the ish our yaself!
. . . and Jerry and Bobby are LOVIN' IT! They knew they were blessed to be sharing a stage with a legend. One of the hippest things about the Dead was that when a "guest star" came by -- Etta, Branford Marsalis, Ornette Coleman, whoever else -- they truly showcased that person and treated him or her with utmost respect. it wasn't "their" show for as long as that person was on stage. Not a lot of rock or pop musicians would have that kind of integrity and courage.
Except for poor Cipalina, ok,,not fade away, again.....
I enthusiasticly do agree
Wow, didn't know they played with Ornette. Is that tape available?
@@LL-bl8hd I know Jerry was on Ornette's 1988 album "Virgin Beauty."
so true. when you watch MickJagger w a guest star he goes through this grotesque, peculiar kind of dance whereas the boys let their guest shone on.
It's great to have this video. I was lucky enough to get a miracle ticket to this show.
"The grateful dead is the baddest American blues band in the world "
- Etta James
"Amen"
- me
"When you hear the Grateful Dead you hear the blues. Hey, how could you have a name like that?"
Then she said how the hell you come up with that name the Grateful Dead lol
Imagine Pig dueting with Etta backed up by Tower of Power. Great video by the way.
According to Rock Skully, Pig's girlfriend Veronica came up to Etta after the show and thanked her for bringing his spirit back into the room that night.
I love those horns in Lovelight!! They really make the song!!
One of the best New Years sets I saw Miss Etta James!!!🎉🎉☮️😎
I had BACK STAGE passes for this concert!!!!! It was a once in a lifetime experience. It is so great to see it again.
I totally remember some of Etta's comments. Thanks for posting.
Lucky dude!
I still have the cassettes from taping this from the KFOG simulcast!
Similarly, I instead worked to get in free plus I got to see the sound check/rehearsal. Jerry was a little late for that, something about "he could play Lovelight etc. in his sleep". That a paraphrase ie. not an exact quote. But the year before in the process of doing the same, I did find a backstage pass! But that's a longer story.
Augy,
San Diego
Wow 🤩, nice get good times !
I Love You Jerry...I Miss You Jerry...Thank You For The Wonderful Times and The Surrealism With Artistic and Literary Style That You And You Band Brought To My Young Life!! I Will Be Forever Greatful !!!
Right on VoteTrump. Right on!!!
Damn, stupidity reigns everywhere. Be sure to inject those disinfectants! And snort a bunch of covfefe...
This set is a high water mark of human achievement. IT just tickles my soul any and every time I indulge in listening/watching it. Thanks, again, for the quality upload.
Man, this lineup shoulda toured! Tower of power, Etta and the dead !! So awesome. And Lowell George opens the show of course
Lowell George did not open this show as he passed away in 1979

@ FortWarren
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🙄
Of course, maybe you'll get it right in the next life
the dinosaurs opened the show@@edm781
the cracks were starting to show for everyone in 1982..... personally i had just got outta jail and was shooting smack again :) wooooohoooooooooooo early 80's!!!!!!!!!!
Why were you doing that?
really cool! took a while to get in the pocket with Jerry but then it was smooth sailing!
Baddest American Blues Band In The World
So THIS is hip!
I keep comin back for another taste of honey..Etta and the Dead,and Tower of Power,wooo!.. Keeping Pigpen alive with an excellent spontaneous celebration.Thanks Loloyodel for all the great Dead videos.

10:25 Baby What You Want Me To Do
18:00 Hard To Handle : 20:20 Etta tries to find the lovelight with Jerry ... haha, 21:30 Etta seems to have sipped odd, bug-eyed, stuff...
23:49 Midnight Hour
28:29 Brokedown Palace
(10:55 w/ Matt Kelly on harp)
i think she managed to pluck every chicken there she wanted to! lol!
Had the bootleg back in the day and it was always one of my favorites. Soooo great to be able to see Etta belt it out and see how she interacted with the band - especially at 21:09 when she hones in on Jerry and you can see him getting a kick out her antics. Great stuff! Thanks...
Remember seeing this one. Great, classic 80s show with the BIG 3rd set. ...saw them the night before and Etta sang the encore...what a cliffhanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More proof that that the Dead were the best backup band in the history of forever. As if hearing them back up Pigpen and Bob Dylan weren't proof enough. Could do R & B, straight Blues, Country, Rock n Roll, whatever the hell you want.
Bill!
Horns from then on.
When called upon, they could provide great backup. E.g., Backing John Fogerty at the Bill Graham memorial.
Love this, thanks so much!
When things were cool.
Nice to see the Video to go with the audio I've listened to for years...
Pigpen had Janis Joplin, and I guess Bobby had Etta James. Lmao
"Stop playing that pocket pool!"
Yeah she was lookin at him like a snack.
Pretty sure Bobby had Janis too... And Donna. Come to think of it they probably all did, lol ("We can share the women...")
Karma came in and got Bobby lol
32:43 ... at sometime around 2 am in the morning, I think few guitar players could come up with such a sweet and sincere guitar licks ....
LoloYodel As a band known for its improv there is nobody, and I mean NOBODY, who could coax a more gentle, subdued, and breathtakingly beautiful melody from a guitar, or any instrument for that matter. He can be oh so true to the song and then build these variations that are nothing short of a gift from some higher power. I count myself truely blessed to have had the right frame of mind to have caught the fever at a young age and got to see 42 Dead shows (age 14 at my 1st show in 7-4-90 and 19 at the Summer Tour opener in Vegas '95) - a couple more years and I would have missed the greatest music experience I've ever been blessed with. Thanks for posting my brother.
11:56 TIL this was a song called
"Bottle Up And Go" . lyrics by John Lee Hooker
@@seamusrmful awesome for being so young and seeing that many Dead shows. Weren’t a lot of kids born in your generation Phish fans?
I'm paying attention now - thanks for the sign post uh ahead
AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extreme LIKE for this combination of artists. Wow. Etta! Wow!
This beats the Ethyl Merman disco album.
Lol I'm a little young, I only know ethyl merman from Airplane!, but tell me that's a serious album that exists? That would be grand.
@@brendanotoole5871 Yes, for real.. on UA-cam.
@@brendanotoole5871 UA-cam Ethyl Merman - “No Business Like Show Business”.
I still have the cassettes I recorded from the local radio station KFOG simulcast the whole show.
The days
Jerry Saves
And Etta
And Brent
And Bill
Left me standing in the corner crying
Nothing left to do but
Smile. Smile. Smile {🔥}:=}
Fantastic...thankful for the music :-)
It's so cool to hear the Dead with horns... and Etta!!! Shows that they were fully capable of cutting it as a more conventional band if they wanted to... they just preferred to do their own thing.
Unreal :) Love it! I miss music like this! I got to see Jerry perform 15 times, so much fun
Revisiting and replenished - Thanks (once again) Lolo
Thank you does not do justice to the mellow mood this share did for my soul!
A bit of history. 🎸💐🍀🌟 Thanks for sharing.
This was my fourth new years show. I had just turned 20 and I was home from school. The new years before ended with a Dark Star set. Two new years earlier had an acoustic set before two electric sets -- I remember being disappointed it was JUST another Warfield-style show, lol!. My first new years ended at about 3:00 after a full third set. And in 1978, I tried to get tickets, but failed, so I watched the closing of Winterland on TV. Needless to say, the bar had been set pretty high in previous years, but this show delivered throughout!
Before I was into the Dead, I was into Tower of Power. Here were the two bands I had been most into as a kid into young adulthood, playing together on new years (and the night before)! I wasn't backstage, but i was about six people deep from the rail, a thrilled fanboy dancing like a fiend! I was in heaven!!! Sad it ended so abruptly, but I'm happy to have been around at the right place and time to attend a whole bunch of Dead shows!
Tremendous to see video of this set.
@5:56 Kreutzmann is FEELIN IT!
Man do I miss this !!❤❤❤
Ragged but right. A little sloppy here & there but so much heart & soul. Thank you for Peaches & Captain Trips.
Lol Edward! You got that right! 😄
The mistakes some how morphed to perfection
music to bring a smile to anyone's eyes...........
Thank God for the Grateful Dead ! Happy New Year!
awesome!!!
3 letters can sum up this show...F#@&%#g WOW! Welk maybe 2 but dam wish I could of caught Etta with my most favorite band in the world...They surely don't make music or musicians like they used to...thanks for video
Everybody's having a real good time!!! Hot Damn!!!
thanks had the tape.
Amazing
love this encore
That was awesome.. Bob's had bit o' go go juice..
couldnt agree more. I was thinking something similar while watching
I think she's making jerry blush
45 min.s at Woodstock. Pigpen "I got this"
man this is epic
Pig woulda loved this
That was such a great show. I was in the front row. I was always in front.
Happy BDay dear ol' Jerry Sir !
Hot damn!
Hand Etta James a bunch of flowers, she's ready to light up!
Etta rocks
A+

My first lovelight
Yes it's an upgrade in video and audio. Thank you.
Long live BILL GRAHAM. There was nobody better.
Wow.....
my first new years run!
What a great start
❤️❤️❤️
^^^^^ Etta & Tha Dead! wot moah do ya need !!! ^^^^^
Nice cue there Bob.
I think I was at this show. Of course, they all roll into one, so I don't know. Yes. I was.
Outside Sinatra and Elvis, is there anyone the Dead didn't play with. Great stuff.
all hail Pigpen.
I think this is the gig that Rock Scully writes about in detail in his book.
Chi boy who loves etta - tour head etc yeehaw! Have many share many be good and plenty!
Garcia looks like he's in his element here.
my frogs candy just trunred into a real frig and bit my tong
COPY!
I'm just saying.... Can you imagine Jerry and Etta talking backstage? "What you got?" "I don't know, what YOU got??". They were both lovers of the poppy for sure.
When someone says "I don't like the Greatful Dead".I always say....Which One ?!!!!
Perfect answer.
Goddamn this is hot!
See Barbara....I told you she did some NYE encores. This should get you all fired up( just like me)......"Florida Boy"
Well god damn
That HTH is ridiculous.
"There's that low down dirty bluegrass" - Etta James perfectly describing early 80s drugged out Grateful Dead
bobby looks like he's in his prime here.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I BIT HIM IN HALF AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG, Bobby‘s hair is a mess!!!!
27:41
Who is playing percussion right behind Bill?
I always resented it a bit when Bobby sang Lovelight. That was one of Pig’s songs.
It was so sweet to hear her sing Hard to Handle...
Midnight Hour with Etta James and Tower of Power Horns, What fun! "Light those candles now!"
Jerry looks like he’s so happy to have someone else take center stage (it had been a long night).
Brokedown was the quintessential closer.
The box breakfast that Bill had for us was great. There was plenty. Nobody urged us to leave.
When the last of us wandered outside everyone had a smile. It was close to first light; 1983.
Greensleeves
they sound pretty wonderful, but best blues band in the world? come on. best blues singer in the world, etta james? quite probably :-)
They absolutely were
@@b2theran yes
She said "Baddest American" band anyway so you created typical Internet misinformation
Well now that Bobby's solo, he can have all the horns he wants. What he doesn't have is a good bass player.
The tunes Bobby does now are all top heavy, ain't got no butt or thighs to carry the top
Let me tell you something.,.,.The Grateful Dead is the baddest American Blues band there is. Tower of Power are the baddest horns u can get. Lol
idk... these tight horns and jerry don't really go together well on this stage...
Never was a fan of horns with the band. Filled up Jerry's noodle space.
