i've probably listened to this a couple hundred times since high school.. never then did i have any clue, living in my parents house, safe and sound, what the road would do to me. i wouldnt trade my memories for the world.. but sometimes i wish i could just go back and stand still for a while.. feel good with the ones i love. man i miss home. what a fleeting thing home can be. much love everyone. stay grateful
Joseph Caldwell I live alone these Day's, my mom passed 5 day's after my birthday 1992, dad passed in 2014, haven't seen my wife since the day I met her. As sick as it sound's. I wasn't even trying to be with her. We met at am LRY Conference in Toronto Canada September 1,1973. She was from Alaska, I from Niagara Fall's. If you Google Liberal Religious Youth. You'll read that Mountain Girl was President of LRY. She was Jerry Garcia's Second Wife. What a Trip that is
The Sound of America, folks. The quintessence, the zenith, the question to the answer. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Peace be upon you and yours.
Had this in 8 track back in the day. It was black and all it read was "Grateful Dead". I loved this album since the first time I heard it tripping. The sound is awesome! Thank you. It brought back memories, both sweet and melancholy. My spirit longs for those days.
If this music doesn't move you to your soul, you are cold as ice. The boys loved Janis, and it comes through in every strum of Jerry's guitar, and every note of Bobby's vocal. I always feel for Pig when I hear this, she was only gone a few months when this was recorded. They sure did it justice, I get shivers every time I hear it, I tear up too.
I've forgotten what a great album this is. I haven't sat & listened to it in....decades. it's not just s great album, but for me, it's a time machine that brings back friends long gone. I know they're looking down on me, saying "good for you, you s.o.b. see ya real soon". I look forward to it.
So many great artists have done this song, yet Bobby and the band captured it perfectly forever, at this gig in 1971....still would not trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday though, lol
I heard this for the first time, being high, on the car-radio, while hitch-hiking around the States in 1972. One of a handful of songs / versions of songs I remember when and where I heard the first time. The Grateful Dead's version of this song.

GOOD GOOD GOOD CHOICE ! VERY GOOD VERY NICE THANKS ! MY FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE SONG (ALBUM) . SO COOL. SOOOOOOO COOOOL !!! FAMOUS RECORDING !!! GREAT !!!
They all miracles and masterpieces. The best Dead show I had ever seen was usually the last one. I wish I wasn't so young and arrogant...but I found exactly needed there awesome summer tours
It was the second live album (Live Dead was the first) and the music changed to country rock and r&r. From here the Dead will always follow this path till the end.
This is by far the best version of this song I've heard. For me the way they played this gives it such an honesty that frankly Kris's and Janis's versions don't have.
Phil is playing Coney Island next Wed&Thurs.!!! Got Karl Remain, Soulive, and Krasno backing up. Gonna' be awesome. I hope to see some of y'all there.😁🍄
This is just the Truth To Life, in 4 minutes or so, no matter may it be played by the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin or Kris Kristofferson. Just try playing or singing it yourself, maybe shout it if you like, there's a whole way of life in it. Can cure your health.
I do. And I can play it note for note. I'd rather listen though. Just put the guitar down, sit back, close my eyes, and cry. "And I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday".
While I always liked Kris's version, for decades this was the only version that touched Janis's for me. I could listen to any of these on repeat all day long. This is one of my very favorite covers by the Dead- the blend of voices and instruments is perfect. You philistines who dislike Janis's version should check out Pink's cover. Janis's vocal style, but closer in feel to this. 8^)
+Nunna Ubizness Definitely agree! In fact, this is the only version of this song I've heard that I like, and I love their version of this! I don't like the sort of gospel sound with Janis' version, though I like her very much. I also don't like Kristofferson's version of it either though it is his song. It is the looseness of this that just sounds really good here. Actually that is what I like a lot about the Dead. Their sound kind of reminds me of a favorite old set of clothes that are very comfortable and that feel really good when I wear them.
@@meyou-dv8ns Lennon was an egomaniacal misogynistic twat. His stupid hippie glasses don't fool me. Give peace a chance? Yeah right, maybe start at home with that sentiment.

You can't change the past but you can change the ending
Joseph Caldwell damn dude. Never thought a youtube post would bring a tear to my eye
Feeling good was good enough for me. I'm with you!
I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.

Wow, what a deeply true sentiment, thank you.
Lovely, those beautiful words /thanx.. Greetings from Gertie
I love every version of this I ever heard from kris to Janis to the dead toroger miller to pink. But Janis owned it. Sorry kris r.i.p.
Have always loved the way Weir sang this diamond of a song
“From the coal mines of Kentucky, to the California sun. Bobby knew the secrets of my soul.” Such a goosebump line.
Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose is another
This is my favourite version of this song

The song was written by Kris Kristofferson. You van find it on his frist album “Kristofferson” (1969/70)
And Pig is a suiting term of endearment?
@@henningandersen9027 Pig as in "Pigpen" of the Grateful Dead
I so agree. I'm so used to listening to Janis Joplin's version of *"Me and Bobby McGee",* but I've never heard this version by the Grateful Dead.
Kris as really moved when Janis sung a song of his
Really? 39 thumbs down? This song is, well, just plain old perfect.
Thank you Kris, I cannot imagine a world without this song
Jerry's solo is both simple and perfect. Pure bliss !
I've forgotten what a great album this is. I haven't sat & listened to it in....decades. it's not just s great album, but for me, it's a time machine that brings back friends long gone. I know they're looking down on me, saying "good for you, you s.o.b. see ya real soon". I look forward to it.
Hey, how are you doing ?
i can relate to your words so much, mate
Jerry's guitar is exquisite.
Having a hard day put the head phones on and get lost in this makes everything better.
RIP Kris one of the greatest to ever do it

it's called authenticity / soul / gettin' real. Roses and thorns. An American Beauty!
One of my favorite Jerry solos. So emotionally expressive, and beautiful.
This song bring tears to my eyes EVERY TIME. I miss my brothers so much.
R.I.P. NEAL
R.I.P. MARK
RIP Kris Kristopherson
Phil just turned 76; Bobby W, Mickey and Bill still touring W/Dead & Co.; DSO pumping out awesome shows...the train will never stop!!!
Went this summer :)

This version of the song is one of a handful of recorrdings I remember when and where I heard the first time.

I love getting lost in the time and memories that this song makes me think of. I can live there for a while, and yet never again. So bittersweet.
Billy's snare is soooooooooooooooooooo
perfect
GOOD GOOD GOOD CHOICE ! VERY GOOD VERY NICE THANKS ! MY FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE SONG (ALBUM) .
SO COOL. SOOOOOOO COOOOL !!! FAMOUS RECORDING !!! GREAT !!!
Best performance I'd ever listened 😎
Love those drums and Jerry nailed it
1979 in london saw them, dont rember much more but i was there
Perhaps '81?
All around best cover of this song I think
so dam good. sing it bobby! love billy's drums. this is the 1st dead music I ever heard. the library had this and blues for allah.
Cherry Garcia Cherry they did a lot of cover songs.Should check them out thank you might enjoy.
Awesome lead JG RIP!!
Never gets old
Just gets better
@@Frankybroadcast LOL
My new fav rendition!
Beautiful
Bobby... Singing about Bobby.
I LOVE Phil’s syncopated octaves in the chorus starting at 2:44. It’s such a classic delightful Phil style.
Yes, I miss their 3 part harmonies from this period.
One of my fave Phil performances.
They all miracles and masterpieces. The best Dead show I had ever seen was usually the last one. I wish I wasn't so young and arrogant...but I found exactly needed there awesome summer tours
デッドのカバ―曲の中でもこれが一番好き
At :52 seconds. Those drums though.. ❤
yep. my favorite version of this song, with no loss of respect for Janis.
Or Kris.
Or Gordon Lightfoot?
All different for sure. But all to be enjoyed!!
It was the second live album (Live Dead was the first) and the music changed to country rock and r&r. From here the Dead will always follow this path till the end.
One of their better covers, wish they played it past '74, oh well
This is by far the best version of this song I've heard. For me the way they played this gives it such an honesty that frankly Kris's and Janis's versions don't have.
I wouldn't go that far but it is certainly a great rendition.
I gotta agree with that. Not to take anything away from Janice, but this version is flawless.
Jerry Garcia's guitar is just sublime.
The tone!!!!!
best version of this song. Phil is also kicking ass on this one
Nooooimnooot.......-------- importantxallustupidspeople.....--------
.......................................................
sitting in Tulum Mexico after another great BBQ in jungle . thank God I'm alive and still doing the dead
We lost Kris we lost Jerry they're in our hearts forever
miss you guys..
Thank you for uploading this! Thank you very much indeed..
Very good
great version
It's time to get back to your roots, Mija......
RIP Kris...
Phil is playing Coney Island next Wed&Thurs.!!! Got Karl Remain, Soulive, and Krasno backing up. Gonna' be awesome. I hope to see some of y'all there.😁🍄
Jerry's solo is pretty sweet too.
Cherry Garcia YES it is.
1:43 to. 2:44 Jerry is on fire.
One of my fave Jerry performances. Also, some of my fave Phil on this, as well.
Wow-wee.
pure unadulterated Dead.......!
Kris, Janis and the Dead,,,,,
agree ! Kris has a newer version he sings with Lady Antebellum, it's on UA-cam, it's fantastic !
RIP Kris Kristofferson and RIP Phil Lesh. We lost both in less than a month.

Yes.
Amen to that music is some of the best medicine for all if they don't worry about who's written what just put some headphones on and let it work.
How good were they?
Enyoinit...goooooo.....🙃🤏..
best ever - - try playing this on your own guitar
I do. And I can play it note for note. I'd rather listen though. Just put the guitar down, sit back, close my eyes, and cry.
"And I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday".
Jerry Garcia is god, one his best guitar solo
Why the hell did they change "nothing left to lose" to "nothing left to do"?
Can't say that i like that...
god bless kris
While I always liked Kris's version, for decades this was the only version that touched Janis's for me. I could listen to any of these on repeat all day long. This is one of my very favorite covers by the Dead- the blend of voices and instruments is perfect.
You philistines who dislike Janis's version should check out Pink's cover. Janis's vocal style, but closer in feel to this. 8^)
I totally agree.
All three versions are classic, But this has the sublime guitar work.
A lolly pop for the auditory system.
💫👍
What I have been humble wondering throughout the years: why doesn't Bobby sing "I flagged a diesel down"?
+john stewart - - - Oooh well you roll me safely home.
❤
😓 n I'd trade all my tomorrow's for a single yesterday.
🕺...
My favorite "Me and Bobby McGee", I think.
Do you remember which show this is from?
Ory Amitay Fillmore East, New York, NY, April 27, 1971 (it says in the description, i'm not a genius)
GirlyKittyBoy Missed it. Right you are, thanks.
what's this got to do with janis joplin? It's a Kris Kristofferson song and this is the definitive version
What`s the name of this album? Can`t find the cover!?
Shit , , , , , , , , , , I need a beer
And a toke of weed
I love Phil's bass part in the chorus starting at 2:44.
Always come back to this album, even after listening to the Grateful Dead for fifty years or so - pure magic.
I loved Janis, but this version puts hers to shame. This is how the song was supposed to flow.
I actually like the soulful sound of the original from Chris Christopherson.
But this GD version is my fave.
+Nunna Ubizness Definitely agree! In fact, this is the only version of this song I've heard that I like, and I love their version of this!

Their sound kind of reminds me of a favorite old set of clothes that are very comfortable and that feel really good when I wear them.
I've never been terribly impressed with Garcia's guitar playing, but it's absolutely gorgeous in this tune. And Weir's rhythm playing is just right.
I agree. I hated her version, but years later I heard this Dead version and it's heavenly.
wait never have been impressed with garcias guitar playing... :O
Janis version is too wild.... This is how the song should be sang!
I agree..It starts out okay but I can't take the screaming. Gordon Lightfoot is more my style😮
Who is the singer? Great song..
Bob Weir.
Why can’t I read replies
yee ha
Hot tak3 but these guys could really also mess up a song and make it cool at the same time 😂
Ok.
ReLlyuneverknow.
Onlydt.
I like Dylan's version best!!
i like the way john lennon did it- of course he only sang half the song before he made fun of it lol but still it is hard and loud
@@meyou-dv8ns Lennon was an egomaniacal misogynistic twat. His stupid hippie glasses don't fool me. Give peace a chance? Yeah right, maybe start at home with that sentiment.
Everything else looks and sounds unworthy...
lets go to Africa and tame a animal.
it's okay but still prefer both Gordon lightfoot and Janis Joplin version. The yodeling ruined it for me.
Roger miller performed it first though. good song though!
+Burstix --- i love his version as well...that GUItar, ya know...
