1973 my oldest brother took me to my first big concert. Grateful Dead at Winterland. I had been to smaller music events with the Sons of Champlin and other bay area bands, but that night at Winterland with the Dead the world opened up to me. Like Alice thru the looking glass. It changed the way I saw the world. It changed how I heard music. It changed my life for the better forever. I've been lucky. I was at the filming for the movie, Keith and Donnas final show and Brents first show. I saw the Grateful Dead as an opening act for the Who in 76. This is fantastic.
i would love to get a Fire on the Mountain by itself. i would love to get a Franklin's Tower by itself. at least from time to time. knowing they're coming, idk it kind of diminishes the excitement, for me. but i ALWAYS want China>Rider together. the transition that connects them is just brilliant
Oh to be 21 again. We showed up at this show doing some orange sunshine. i think i floated to heaven and back again that night. I remember seeing the notes coming off the guitar, taking flight and filling the arena. you kids wouldn't understand.
.there are many great guitar players, but none have the sweet sweet sound that jerry gave us. Oh some of his leads i could listen to for hours. So pleasing to my soul...
I was 17 & didn't know anything about GD. Spent my holiday in SFO & my friends took me to Winterland. Their music, play style & audiences were so different from those in Japan. GD still stays in my heart, soul & blood. I love China/Rider till my life ends !
I am happy whenever I hear the GD, they were my salvation during the late sixties.. when I was still 19, in '69 I was hobnobbing with the band and Bobby took a liking to me so I got the royal treatment. i danced onstage, stayed in the hotel room. stayed with bob who shared a room with Phil for the entire weekend at the Capitol Theatre, Porchester. I had to do something to be true to my nature so I left college and went off to California. I never saw the Dead live again. I absolutely feel I missed them but, I was strung out on certain substances and needed to change my scenery 100%
Gary Williams i am female, Gary. maybe you should reread my comment. i slept with Bobby. wore a kickass red sweater and jeans, in front of 1,000 people dancing on stage...that's when Bobby was closest to the right side of the stage and Jerry was on left side. they hardly knew their own songs but still the message they played was loud and clear. oh, the '60's were quite an era. i'm glad i can remember that time of my life. nothing has ever equaled my experiences back then!
I know I try and use man as a non gender term of endearment. I shouldn't sometimes. I just meant I bet you could tell tons of other stories being alive on the scene back then. Hell yah good for you my friend.
Gary, no reason to apologize to me. I only meant that in context you should be aware of my gender. After all...Bob Weir would have been gay if I were a man, and he and I - you know fooled around a lot.
sweet version. up there with the 89 one the nyc 1980 and the 72 one on their move. thats got to be my top 3...but thats like picking your top 3 favorite dead songs in general. impossible.
Alot of people don't know this but I was the 'secret Jerry' from 71-74, I was hiding behind the amps and was actually playing the leads on 90% of everything that you thought was Jerry, and by 75 I told Jerry that he needed to step up and move into the lead spot FOR REAL...and he eventually got it, but the years where the GD were really making their 'ART' 71-74, it was me, Tiny Tim, on the guitar....
I tell you U FIND THE BEST JAMS OR A 2 TO 3 SONG RAM THAT IS FREAKIN AMAZING U GOTTA LOOK IN THE SINGLE SONG LISTS AND U FIND LIKE 4 DOUBLE SONGS LIKE THIS CHINA RIDER IN PRETTY GOOD BVET A FEW ARE FREAKING amazing i found a CRAZY FINGER STELLA BLUE THATU WILL ALMOST ORGASIM ITS THAT GOOD. SORRY TRYING TO MAKE ME POINT. SO INSTEAD OF FULL SHOWN ILL USE 5,6 OFTHESE DOUBTE SETS OFSONG AND I KNOW THERE ALLREADE GOOD 👍
Not far from 50 now. How time flies. Thank god for individual tapers, Bear, Betty & Rex, etc., & the whole culture/attitude that has left us with an endless variety of the highest quality. Forever Grateful ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Here's the thing...life secret...if you are in a shitty mood...I'm not talking about clinical depression or anything massively serious, but shit is down...put this on...it's fine... you're welcome...❤️🤠✌️
Matthew Campbell I listen to as many different China/Riders as possible when in a bad mood. Always anticipating how Jerry will sing "I'm a headlight on a North bound train".
I was at this show, or one of the November '73 Winterland shows. I don't remember it very well. We blew it by dropping the night before, hitchhiking down from Olympia. 18 and foolish. I was pretty dragged out at the show. This sounds pretty tight, I don't remember as such, but it was probably me.
We all did the same thing. Handfuls of Shrooms the night before. Dragging our asses to shows with handfuls of shrooms in our mouth. Dragging our shroomed off asses around. Having the best ass dragging time. Too funny. Seriously I don't know how we did it. Youth is awesome.
@@erichanhauser3190 youth is a wonderful thing, I sure miss aspects of it but one thing I discovered after a 30+/- year break from psychedelics is how wasted they are on young minds. Quite a different experience as an old-ish man. IMO ✌🏼
The setlists can be accessed. Might trigger a few memories as to which show you saw. Maybe. I was at the Saturday show of this three concert weekend. Danced and shouted so much I was lame and hoarse for days. Great times!
Love that transition jam! They opened with China rider at all good this year and played that same pretty chord progression in between! Cheers and thanks for the upload.
yep but ya gotta shake it up or they get bored. China /Rider got bigger less blues sounding not better just different. And the timing of the drums when they would throw those big sounds of thunder.People would scream for that I wish I was headlight. Boom. Sometimes Jerry would smash it and some times not so much. And sometimes they wouldn't give Bobby the same effort. What happened no THE SUNS GONNA SHINE IN MY BACK DOOR. just different.
Jepsen staral...... it jumps because the air cant handle the dead within the air itself,its so much better when you see andromeda and Mars go past you, it don't, as you say,skips at all there....honest ,I know ,I really do know that's true...............
You may hear these titles but nobody's heard magic like this since the fall tour 1974. I'm not a "Dead snob" but the jazzy improvisational GD ended at the close of 1974 sadly. Of course that doesn't mean that there's not lots to enjoy post 74. Just very very different. ✌🏼✌🏼
china cat- i know you rider. only seen two, neither like this one. it is funny that you really can't have one without the other: like scarlett/fire. and yet, china cat and scarlett begonias were put out on their albums all by themselves. board recording, with the crowd so loud, the cheers bleed into it. nice.
You know, Hunter and Garcia have not been awarded the Gershwin award, wich is a shame, they are true Americana, when will these stuffed shirts learn, when?
It bounces back and forth between Dmaj and Gmaj, sometimes setting up for the chords for I Know You Rider. It's like a mash up of the two. Hope that helped.
.Try this on UA-cam Folks: CRYPTOBEAST #19 You're WELCOME! BY A DEADHEAD: " It seems as though Chalmers Wood II is the real Forrest Gump. I cried when I read the story of young Chip saving that diplomatic meeting. I think we’re certainly looking at a real American Hero even before he knew he was. It’s inspiring to read a story with that old patriotic American “feeling”, something generations upon generations since then have no idea about which included an innocence of inclusion, family and a healthy sense of pride about the nation. It was a very refreshing and inspirational moment. I have a renewed sense of vigor for the concept that the Grateful Dead espoused. Even though only a shell of the original concept remained even before it was started somehow I think part of that light had shown through because some of us deadheads just won’t give up on this journey."
1973 was the jazziest of years.
who doesn't like the walls melting, and the floors rippling with all kinds of colours?
I love you Frank

You go Frank 💀

Really wonderful. They sound like a super tight jazz orchestra....
Jerry's playing here is absolutely brilliant.
Was at this show...and 100s of others.
Grew up in Marin..
Oh to be 21 again. We showed up at this show doing some orange sunshine. i think i floated to heaven and back again that night. I remember seeing the notes coming off the guitar, taking flight and filling the arena. you kids wouldn't understand.
+2010pjm amen to that. Had some rare times with the Dead in the UK around this time, too. Real fine days.
+2010pjm im going to see them in ohio im takin a road trip there
+2010pjm Those were the days!
Oh, I understand.
oh we definitely understand; somebody is living the same thing you did that night.
Such a gorgeous transition between the two songs....Jerry was the best, God we miss him.
The transition into Rider is really something else. Classic GD, absolutely classic.
DictionRedaction try 11-17-73
This version is really good, like always with the Dead it doesn't take much to find golden gems in any show you look up...
.there are many great guitar players, but none have the sweet sweet sound that jerry gave us. Oh some of his leads i could listen to for hours. So pleasing to my soul...
taking a ride with them live was like no other band.
"i wish i was a headlight on a north bound train" sing it Jerry
I was 17 & didn't know anything about GD. Spent my holiday in SFO & my friends took me to Winterland. Their music, play style & audiences were so different from those in Japan. GD still stays in my heart, soul & blood. I love China/Rider till my life ends !
Europe 72 wins vocals, continuity, transition & JG phrasing, but Weir shines here
The segues were awesome. Jerry jamming for 5 minutes is great.
Beautiful version of China Rider. Some fine playing.
Winterland was ALWAYS my favorite place, in the 70s. It was like you were attending services, for the lord above. Gone are the days.........
YES.....YES....YES... Gerry above.....and the band .....
great transition jam indeed.

sunshinenblues I apologize for any offense.

Love This!

Thanks for letting us in on your, uhhhh, secret lol
I was the guy behind the amps on the other side playing the bass lines. We should have started a band.
that uncle john's tease is subtle and epic
It’s called the feelin’ groovy jam and is sandwiched between most China>riders from 73-74 never to return again…
@@jordanvarela3141 Thank you for knowing that, and thank you for sharing that. Grateful nerds rule.
one of the best renditions
Killer! Thanks for posting! -Nordy
coming up on 40 years since this was created... pretty amazing

Phil's shaking my house rn
Get it Phil 😁
The Crown of Creation
The dead of the 70s to me,are so much more relaxed
yep but ya gotta shake it up or they get bored. China /Rider got bigger less blues sounding not better just different. And the timing of the drums when they would throw those big sounds of thunder.People would scream for that I wish I was headlight. Boom. Sometimes Jerry would smash it and some times not so much. And sometimes they wouldn't give Bobby the same effort. What happened no THE SUNS GONNA SHINE IN MY BACK DOOR. just different.
My all time fav! Bobby at his best…(even though I worked for Jerry!)
Weekend is coming up
why are there always skips in the "feelin' groovy" sections on the the '73 China/Riders?
Cause it's just the groove my BROTHER
Jepsen staral...... it jumps because the air cant handle the dead within the air itself,its so much better when you see andromeda and Mars go past you, it don't, as you say,skips at all there....honest ,I know ,I really do know that's true...............
Its all in your miiiiiiiind 😵
If I hear these songs at the 2017 tour I'm going to shit myself
You may hear these titles but nobody's heard magic like this since the fall tour 1974. I'm not a "Dead snob" but the jazzy improvisational GD ended at the close of 1974 sadly. Of course that doesn't mean that there's not lots to enjoy post 74. Just very very different. ✌🏼✌🏼
@@JerryGarciaPOBox I definitely agree. I mostly listen to 74’ shows for that reason
looooooove Dead!!!!!
oh yeah i really like that do it again~*
yea, should be up now
I dig this version, it's laid back compared to Ladies and Gentlemen. Still rocks though
Its the uncle Johns Band chords
or wheel?
Uncle John's all the way
china cat- i know you rider. only seen two, neither like this one. it is funny that you really can't have one without the other: like scarlett/fire. and yet, china cat and scarlett begonias were put out on their albums all by themselves. board recording, with the crowd so loud, the cheers bleed into it. nice.
sorry for the late response - seems that it's already been uploaded to youtube though
Is china really slow or is it me? Run for the roses also appears in the jam.
That zanny Phil Leah.
Go over it again
Save this graphic for an "Eyes of the World" !!!
Really an ad in middle of doing? Fml
sweet
Rider
You know, Hunter and Garcia have not been awarded the Gershwin award, wich is a shame, they are true Americana, when will these stuffed shirts learn, when?
Too many comerclais !! I'm so pissed off . Love the dead and love you too!!
Probably when its too late.
Save me
I know U too
8:17
does anyone know the transition jam chords?
It bounces back and forth between Dmaj and Gmaj, sometimes setting up for the chords for I Know You Rider. It's like a mash up of the two. Hope that helped.
sometimes with a Cmaj thrown in for good measure.
can you post the scarlet-fire from 11-1-79 please
GODDAMN PEOPLE 😂😂😂😂😃🤣😉😉😗
