- From the Sunshine Daydream DVD. Beautiful song about the then late Janis Joplin. Jerry at his heartfelt best, RIP 20 years. Also, yes there are literally thousands of comments about the naked hippie dude, they just don’t get liked much so they’re way down in the comments. Peace
I consider myself one of earth’s luckiest human beings to have been on the planet at the same time as the Grateful Dead and to have had the great fortune to have seen them live many many times.
I envy you Laura
Hey Laura .....I saw their show back in 1974....can't remember much...I did find my car....
You should 😊
Hell, I consider myself lucky to have got out on the road when there was still a Scene to be seen.
You left out a many
How lucky are we that we get to watch this anytime
I agree. I think UA-cam is one of the finest aspects of this digital world we find ourselves in today. At the time this concert was happening, I was finishing my first summer out of high school, not a care in the world! But I had no idea of the Grateful Dead either as I was pretty naive at 17.
Blessed
...and I get transported to a hot sunny western day, feeling like I was there. -Peace to all
It’s a gift for sure
Too lucky. I mean, to be alive when the Dead played-- hell, to be a teenager in 1965 (btw I noticed your comment has 65 likes at the time of writing... let's keep it below 95 people. You all know why) would have been fucking awesome, amazing beyond words. (And I'm sure they had their share of bad times just like we have ours. But let's not go around comparing suffering.)
But to be alive now?? Dude, the further into the future we get, the more long lost dead tapes are discovered and released. Things that many diehard deadheads have never even heard! It's insane!!
Happy 50th! A half century of healing, joy, transcendence, and naked pole guy. Here’s to the next 50.
I hope naked pole guy is doing well in his later years
I think I know Naked Pole Guy….
Best Birdsong ever. Period. It’s not just Jerry. It’s the whole band is on a compositors trip. They are so locked together. Few bands achieve this status of mind communication.
9/27/72 is also excellent
I agree with this! It just is soooo smooth and perfect
9/17/72 is the best imo
The break around 5:15 is the reason its like the opening of Pandora's box
Agreed
Exactly ❤ they dissolve into each other going from a “me” to a “we”, asking how can I elevate the other guys instead of myself. 🙌🏼 that’s the magic
🌸Om Mani Padme Hum🌸
turned this version of Bird Song on while in a hospital in Beijing with an IV in my arm, made me instantly oblivious to anything going on and assured me everything was going to be just fine. long live the god damn Grateful Dead man
Colin Gasman 👌👌👌
What was in that drip? 😂
Fuckin A Right ! (~);}
God Blessed
forever
stop and think how amazing it is we have free access to high quality video of maybe the best dead show ever! OK, maybe the world isn't so terrible.
Word.
You can get shown the light if you look at it right....Amen.
@Burr Anderson I am,,, that I am

"maybe the best dead show ever".... I think I said that after each one I attended :)
Can't get enough of this clip. Jerry is simply amazing. The Dead still addictive as ever.
My first Dead concert was a month later at Folsom Field in Boulder. Saw them many times later in some fine venues - Red Rocks, Louis Sullivan's classic Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Winterland and the New Years shows in Oakland - but nothing like the first. Plus I really think they were particularly great in 72 (the Europe album has lasted for a reason).
My thoughts exactly
The best. always.
This song written for Janis.
Naked Pole Guy rules!
Who's listening to this during the 2020 Pandemic lockdown?
Checked in friend
Thanksgiving 2020!
@Breckyn Thomas Sunshine Daydream LSD my friend
listening and jamming along on my electric plugged into my computer using S-Gear. Tons of fun!
Oh fuckin rights
I think this is the best bird song I've ever heard
Agruments most definitely can be made for it, for sure. Other beauties: 11/19/72 Houston, 9/27/72 Jersey City, 9/21/72 Spectrum, with Branford 3/29/90. 3/16/73 Nassau & the acoustic one from Radio City 10/27/80 are also great. And I was fortunate enough to see them live for those great versions.
10-27 is a beaut.....anything from 9-21-72 is nothing short of amazing.....but man, this show was magic
Agree, This and Phili 9-72, I think DP 36.
bEST Ever !!
SickBoy666100 Yeah. Really moving.
Bill Kreutzmann, post '72 European tour (where he was once again, the lone drummer) filling in beautifully. At times, his amazing counterpoint like fills make it appear there are two drummers, or maybe a single drummer, and a percussionist or two, playing simultaneously. A big round of respect to Bill!
@Grateful Varmints Without Billy, There would be no "Dead and Company", I believe. With the drummers back (Billy always played the main beat, Mickey following, and filling in the gaps, it seemed.), D+C isn't, The "Further" Tour.
Really miss Jerry. Only followed from late 88'(Miami), steadily on, till 93'-95, just catching shows when we could.. I've always loved The "Bird Song" from 89'/90'? '"Nassau County Colliseum", w/"Branford Marsalis", who Phil invited. He had never heard "The Dead" before. Fast learner!!! I love that "Bird Song"! Jerry was surprised how well Branford went with the flow. They were like 2 birds, meeting, and flying joyously, like no one ever, who doesn't know any of their tunes! So Beautiful to hear there interaction.. Stunning!
@@timturk1899 what a show. Believe that was march 90. Brent passed away before branford marsalis could play with them the 2nd time. Which was around newyears 1990/91
He wasn't distracted by Mickey Hart trying to keep time.
I think it is great that some guy is enjoying the Dead while naked. Good for him. Life can be brutal...enjoy.
And this is without a doubt the best version of Birdsong.
Exactly a month later, they played an amazing Bird Song at Stanley Theater. That's another great one. There's some special magic in this show, despite the crazy hot weather.
Man I wish we all could just rome necked and be free like they could do back then, but now we would get damn arrested. It’s rediculous how life is now. Respect to you brother!! ✌🏼
6/22/73 🙏🏻🔥 but this is the all timer
He is Iggy Pop on mushrooms !!!!
@@ramario6195 I am glad people wear pants nowadays.
The spookiest thing about the dead is how good their music sounds when they arent the greatest singers ever and they dont shred. They just had such a chill approach. Really a rare beautiful thing to ever come about
@SoftserveSodium well they're quite reserved, wouldnt you say?
@@kevingruenofficial No I would definitely not say reserved. Quite the opposite.
@@zach3305 all I'm saying is they didnt need to shred for their music to be good. I have yet to see a concert of theirs with Garcia or weir playing like van halen or something. It wasnt their forte. They were better at writing intricate jazz chords progressions which I'd say was the deads signature sound.
@@kevingruenofficial The apprentice hears what he does not immediately know but wishes to understand.
Check the Dark Star from this show for said shred.
Bob is the greatest rhythm guitar player ever. Totally sublime.
He got even better with Brent. started playing harmonics and finding empty space, not easy with 2 drummers, Jerry, Phil and Brent. I actually find his songs harder to learn. They have chord variants and lots of hooks / little inflections. Of course Jerry's ability to glide between playing styles and craft lead parts was only highlighted more with Bob'.
He was born for this. Took him some time but he got right where he needed to be.
greatest rhythm guitar player... so far 🤙
This video cured my depression. I got home from work today, played this recording and stretched out on the lawn under the tall oaks. Took a shower after that. Right as rain.
you the one standing on the pole so high
I was there somewhere
Send me some video of Redrocks Colorado in 1984anAlpine valley of the stage I was on the Stage by the speakers
Glad you're better. Stay well, sir. Life's a jungle sometimes/often times (sorry GMF for the tweak).
you've got a lawn under tall oaks to stretch out on. Why be depressed?
anybody see/listen to this a MILLION times and simply never tire of it... must be the naked
A beautiful tribute to their dear friend Janis, taken too soon.
Janis and Jerry gone too soon. Miss them always.
@@ganymeade5151 Well at least we got Jerry until he was 53. Heroin was a lot less forgiving to the much smaller Joplin, who consequently joined Club 27.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok nope hers got spiked by the music producer because she was about to quit..They kill them off and turn them into legends,icons and profit forever off of them..
@@daveyboy8907Please .... say the origin of this story.
Is this song really about Janis? Awesome if true - anyway, truly increíble version at the beautiful OCF site - a place I've been blessed to visit many times.
Thank you to whoever posted this! ❤❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate Bobby's guitar being up front in the mix. He played with such vigor during this.
Funny, I was just thinking how nice Jerry's voice was, being to the fore for a change😊.
Some hippy in Oregon is saying “come over here boy, and watch your grandpa shake his junk in front of Jerry”
I laughed at that, thank you
LOL :)
I live in Oregon. This is far too close to the truth.,,
I busted out laughing.
I read somewhere that he is real conservative now and denounces this as he doesn't want to talk about it
Such a beautiful song. Life really has a way of grinding you down, but listening to music like this can make it all seem worth it.
Ya dude.
jamatoneblue I can feel the healing, I hear the light, I can see through the darkness
Its true
This is like a positive alternative universe to soulless days.
Right on
Jerry on the stratocaster, golden
This is the first song my son ever heard in this world...I sang it to him...
Then months later somehow a Paul reed smith guitar falls into my lap...which has birds on the inlays..
I always thought this was my song to my baby, but the more I hear it, it seems like his song to me...at least the "don't you cry" part
Now put a saxophone in his mouth and let circle of Bird continue it's self
You have to really listen for it, because its so perfect, but Keith G’s piano really made the band back then...just flawless
Musically 1972-1974 is hard to beat. The really long jazzy jams that lasted forever and went to far away places....definitely my favorite era largely because of Keith, but it's everyone. They all feed off of each other.
@@fawltytenorcouldn’t agree more. Those years were something special
This show is pretty damn flawless. Ive listened to it countless times and even seen DSO recreate it. This show blows Cornell '77 away imho. Cant believe it was the hottest day of the year and they were tripping balls lol. Absolutely incredible. ✌
77 was pretty amazing but a different flavor and definitely not 65-74/75 Grateful Dead or this show. I used to copy this show repeatedly for friends, to replace my copies, and to have multiples. I don't know if I ever had the entire show until CD trading started and eventually they released this like.... atleast 20 years late.
Of course they were trippin balls
No they were not tripping. Because they could never* play tripping. Jerry admitted it.
@@avail1."Jerry admitted it" was that before or after he talked constantly about how their first shows played as the Grateful Dead were played tripping??? Or the other band members who can name specific shows where they were tripping (Phil and Billy in their books multiple times in fact)??? I think you either misunderstood something else Jerry meant or believe something that is the direct opposite of the truth,the Dead could play tripping. Even worse bands with lazier players can just fine,it's not like having to drive or do your laundry on acid!
As a relatively recent GD fan (well the last 8 years), and the fact that I live in Oregon and have been to the Country Fair every year since I've lived here, I feel blessed the Grateful Dead are so revered in this area. I feel their presence. I'm addicted to their music and learning how to play their songs. They taught me to love playing again and to enjoy life as it comes. Like the other commenters, I wish I could have seen them back in the day. That naked dude in all these videos from the country fair in '72 inspires me to keep enjoying life and to keep keeping on.
Long live naked telephone pole guy!!!!!
Really is an inspiration, shine on you crazy diamond. I point people towards this video to try and explain why I like the band.
The naked guy eventually moved to NY and became a highly successful stock broker...at least that's the story. His name is Bob.
You should have been to the faire in the early 00s. It’s now for families, back then it was for family. I love my Dead family. I have a lot of Mouse’s art. I have enjoyed a lif of the times we shared together after Jerry passed. Spring Morning Rain, Phil and Phriends with Try and Paige, but some of my favorite times have been seeing artists I love pay tribute. So Long Jerry is one of my favorites, Dean Ween
Bob doesn't get enough credit. Smoking rhythm the whole song.
One of the many reasons the Grateful Dead are so special :)
Thank you. It's all about Jerry for sure, but Bob laid down so much great rhythm and really glued it all together. Especially since Phil's bass lines were very contrapuntal. And Billy K. solid as a rock. Vastly underrated drummer.
Bobby was an incredible rhythm guitarist
I CANNOT imagine a Dead without Bobby, and to think he was almost kicked out
I'm going to see bob this summer thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! / spring i think idk man.
RIP Robert Hunter. Playing through some of these wonderful songs today makes me think what gifts he gave us.
and thank you, US CIA and Army, for testing your chemical weapons out on civilians like Robert Hunter and Ken Kesey.
@@Scott64a 🤣
"Sometimes the songs that you hear are just songs of your own."
You can interpret that line any way you like.
Check out what Billy Strings did with Robert's lyrics for Thunder. Billy K asked Billy S to put the lyrics to music as that hadn't been done. Excellent. Robert Hunter lives!
The pause into drumroll - crash into main jam is spectacular and never should have been given up. Later Birdsongs suffered for it.
cameraman's dilemma: greatest American guitar player's fingers or freak on a pole. Admirable compromise!
🤣🍄👍😆🍄👍😊
@@stillaliveandwell5291 haha... I think in the end the camera guy made the right compromise between one of the greatest guitar players ever and some tweeked out Wook naked on a telephone pole.. Wow- dude is probly STILL trippin...
LMAO You are funny
He's not a freak on the pole, I always loved the Greatful Dead An traveled with them been to some great places and let you know I'd be on that pole Dancing with the pole and I'm Just Being Me 😂
@@cindycunningham3026 Really? You'd be up on that Pole Buck Naked?
Nice!
They are just completely unpretentious. It's nice.
That's why they had such a cult following. They were only selling a naive sort of innocence and some great tunes.
I feel like they were there for the exact same reason as the audience. To be apart of a great musical experience. The money and lifestyle was a bonus. Since everybody was there for the same reason, they just soared
Thats why i love em
That’s what copious amounts of LSD will do for you :)
LSD ego death and being ugly does wonders
The world would be a better place putting this on a continuous loop.
You need silence sometimes to appreciate the beauty of life, as well as the music.
@@AJ_Deadshow underrated comment
The song is on repeat for two plays, with its false ending in the middle.
It reminds me of Miles Davis’ Shhh Peaceful where the song ends, and comes back to life, giving a sense of permanent cycle, like the sunrise.
This is the only song that my oldest daughter would fall asleep to when she was 2. I hope she plays it alot
How can you not love the Dead ?
The bass really stands out to me, beautiful.
gotta love Jer on his strat...RIP big man!
Stairway to heaven
Of course, but Bobby deserves his share of the credit here. Some great comping and countermelodies
yes, great rhythm by Bobby Weir here.
he ain't da "big" man - he be da "fat" man ! ! !
RIP . . . Forever . . .
@@TJBmd I love stair way too heaven, Axl Rose sings it so fine.
This is one of the best examples of Grateful Dead being “on.” When they played like this, there simply was not a better band in the world.
Really clear for 46 years ago.
Not a cloud in the sky either.
@@yetivanmarshall1473 Just yesterday
Best 12 minutes I have spent in the last 12 months
Literally the best band ever to exist
A band beyond description.
I always looked at the Grateful Dead as America's Beatles.
✌💀👽🎸🎤🎹🥁🎵🎶
Go Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂
That's right ...not another possibility in my time !
Only if you're stoned out of your mind.
Lighter and more supple with just one drummer,Bill has it all under control.This is my favourite lineup but l love all the combos the Dead played up.
My favorite as well! Billy K just has the perfect swing to him. LOVE this lineup so much.
@@captainkangaroo4301 Ya, but Mickey never learned to keep time. He's always all over the place, like is this it or is that it? Billy K without the distraction of Mickey is so much more enjoyable. Billy is the human locomotive.
Agreeed, love Mikey, but this soooo smooth
And the segs were better, too. But Mickey did provide a lot of punch during rock n rollin' 77.
RIP the two members of The Grateful Dead
Jerry Garcia (August 1, 1942 - August 9, 1995), aged 53
Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (September 8, 1945 - March 8, 1973), aged 27
You both will always be remembered as legends.
Only Jerry can drop his pick and never miss a note.
Incredible. At one of their many peaks during their long strange trip. Even more amazing that they pulled this off considering it was over 100 degrees.
Dude just imagine hearing this sound being played live while peaking on acid. It would be indescribably blissful
I would be exactly like naked Iggy Pop dancing on the pole in the background here.
it was lol .
@@jasonlambert5552 lol i was gonna say the same thing
The music is too good for that mess. It’s not necessary to drop acid.
@@ceciliaohman185 thank you. Some people actually have the ability to understand and enjoy music ala carte
Love and respect for the Naked guy.. PRICELESS
i'm not sure but i am pretty confident that he is my grandfather. passed away 10-11 years ago sadly.
i met Janis and these guys in 1969. i'm far more blessed than anyone not having done this. Janis helped me out after her concert, to find my jacket which never showed up again. she was a "Queen", in the very very awesome sense of that word. THe GD are a longer and deeper story because it was very close and personal. Love and devotion to these great, great, bands
This is the greatest thing on the internet.
bzfgt bzfgt i
True story
He's right, you know?
Oh man you know the china cat from this same concert? I always valued it so much, for me it was the single most important video on youtube. A national treasure even tho im not an american :P Shame it got taken down by warner bros, and got replaced with a video thats more or less the same but one that just doesnt have that psychedelic beauty that chill as the other one. Cant even get close to it. Im such an idiot for not downloading it.
bzfgt bzfgt: correction: on the web...the internet is the wheelbarrow; the web is the content within the wheelbarrow which is empties onto your screen;) Look up the definition of both, then please spread the word. Everything we do online is on the WWW, not the III.
Just makes me feel like a mushroom on a summer day
Excitin' yer chitin
How sO, all shriveled up & DeAD. MakeS mE feel Like ah "Babe in the Woods" with one rabBit in mY jaws, & aNother 🐰 clutched in my paWs.
Golden caps are rad
Actually little pieces of paper soaked in LSD were available when waking into the field in front of the stage. No charge. Free psychedelia that day.
All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you snow and rain
If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passin' by
Laugh in the sunshine, sing
Cry in the dark, fly through the night
Don't cry now, don't you cry
Don't you cry anymore, la, la, la, la
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind, la, la, la, la

Caught this when I was home on leave after. Vietnam made the world seem right again.
When you watch this and see how stark it is - you just appreciate it so much more. They were geniuses at complimenting each other. It's a beautiful version. I miss Jerry so much some days. Thank God we have all of this audio and video............
STARK, as in STARK naked hippie dude dancing atop wooden post! .. No diss to your original statement, but I couldn't resist saying that! lol!
@@sparkimoto that hippy was me in a former life at this concert, he wasn't the only naked person there by a long shot.
@@sparkimoto I saw him too! I came to the comments wondering if anyone else thought to mention him. Then again, it was 1972
My baby is napping on the lawn with this playing on my phone. She has been totally saturated in the Dead since before she was born. She's a nice, chill baby.
Vanessa Orchowski what is she doing outside on the ground?
@@comradeelmo5739 Maybe having a direct connection to Mother Earth.
Samuel Paperman is it really tho?
Jimmy Chimpo yeah
My two month old daughter loves the Dead too. Starts smiling and shaking her little feet whenever I play Sugaree for her.
Love it! The guy dancing naked on the pole behind Jerry just adds to the flavor!!
I'm just so grateful we have this footage of the Dead playing such an incredible Bird Song. It brings tears to my eyes. The band is so very tight at this point that it seems effortless.
Way more than just a band!!! No other musics brings me joy like this. And the people make me feel like I’m with family.
Who would dislike this? I can't think of a single reason why anyone would dislike this, even if it wasn't for them. Makes no sense man!
Underrated Lesh baseline on
this track and loving Jerry’s well worn Strat
this is absolutely the best bird song ever.
Such beautiful music! One of the best songs ever performed by the Grateful Dead live. Flawless. The solo by Jerry has so much passion and sounds like a real bird song. Played 44 years ago and still sounds perfect. Thank you boys!
Jerry, so good on this song. Something I passed on to my kids.
I don't know if I would say flawless some of those harmonies were a little rough but the music's killer what else can you say
it wuz' a good one, it wuz'
@@arlenmargolin1650 Jerry and Zappa both suffered from the misconception/great insight (your choice) that it was okay to play. live, on stage, in front of the paying public, things you never played before/noodle aimlessly in a a hit and miss fashion (your choice). It's only the musicians who hear the obvious clam notes.
I think Zappa is the most egregiously guilty of a aimless noodling/practicing the guitar on stage (your choice). Garcia at least stays close to the diatonic harmonies, but maybe that's cuz they're playing much simpler harmonies (usually!! this song amazed me as a jazz guy, with all the open voiced layered guitar harmonies) to begin with, whereas Zappa is playing over (usually) much more adventurous harmonies, and has a bent for being as avant garde with his playing as his money making, dumb rock beat under it all, cooler than hell lyrical comment tour de force songs will allow. (your choice)
Jerry has at least one excuse for the clams, the drugs, whereas Zappa,, mister
"just say no" has no such excuse. Amazing how libertarian Zappa was in regards to social issues, and at the same time, in the end a quite conservative, misogynistic homophobe who also commentsAmerica's ideas of US's use of its military strength, comments not even a "c hair" left of Bush - Gingrich -reagan -Rush -think.
Interesting, complex individual for sure. Google George Duke's groupie story.
The internet is a terrible embarrassment making thing. Everything you ever did or said in front of a camera, or witnesses will eventually be made public, if you have any celebrity at all.
@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out In the immortal words of Harry Dean Stanton's character Curt in Rancho Deluxe, "Well, okay if that means somethin' to ya."
The Dead always make me smile, smile, smile : )
that's the point of them
Isn’t this maybe the best Bird Song ever? All of it. Phil, Jerry… you know… I’m groovin’ with the naked hippie. 😏
5:26 Jerry is hitting some great "Harmonics/Overtones" here - just Beautiful.😇
Laugh in the sunshine sing cry in the dark fly through the night
Richard Weed might be
Almost as beautiful as "Look for a while at the china cat sunflower proud walking jingle in the midnight sun"
Or "Shall we go, you and I while we can, through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?"
But in my opinion, none better than "If I knew the way, I would take you home."
AJ Deadshow I gotta say once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right is up there with all of them man
As good as any poetry i have ever read and I was an English Literature major.
The sound of the breakdown from 6:38 to the transition at 6:46 is just beautiful
Amen brother. Like breaking through into another dimension and feeling back home again but without ever leaving or arriving...
Come here every time I have a bad day and leave feeling much better.
Always love to hear Jerry on a Strat - really shows off how subtle his playing was. And Bobby, fantastic rhythm playing as always.
Yeah he is one of the unsung heroes of the strat , I guess cuz he moved on, but his bends were so beautiful on a strat.
Designer guitars just like designer drugs, they are killing rock and roll. I absolutely agree, nothing was better than Jerry on a strat
yes it’s the bends he did on the strat
.....AND LEAVE IT ON.
Not too many guitarists like Jerry and Jimi with such an identifiable unique sound.
True genius is rare.
err. Metheney, Scofield, Joe Pass, George Benson, BB King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Could name a few more that i can identify in 3 notes, ore even one note but Ill leave it there
Santana and he's still playing
imagine just walking up on this at a festival
You know those guys you see in old dead show videos just totally zoned out eyes big as saucers and just gritting teeth and going thru the experience ? Well this Bird Song jam puts me immediately into that headspace. Beautiful show, I adore it.
holy shit has anyone noticed Jerry dropping his guitar pick at 6:20, when he finds it again seamlessly into the next chorus?
Celebrating the life of Jerry Garcia. Gone 24 yrs today. Beer and weed and Grateful Dead all day.
Still missed. My 1st show was just a month later in Philadelphia. I was off on an adventure that lasted 20 years. Seems like it was just yesterday. Keep Smiling.
Love yous both!!!
Scot Gallagher do you know Shawn Gallagher?
"Celebrating...Beer and weed..."
If that's what is takes for you to celebrate, you're in need of some psych help.
If there is one thing UA-cam has taught me, it's that there's a hell of a lot of mentally ill motherf*ckers out there. too many...all the people who need drugs to celebrate; those who are proud to note they have to get high, stoned, whatever to listen to music; the really sick ex-military pricks who loudly proclaim they used to listen to this or that band or song when going out to murder people...We live in a f*cked up world of people who are so f*cked up they don't realize (and don't care) how f*cked up they are and how they're f*cking it up for everyone else.
@@jankafka7330 whats you talkin bout Willis? I like your kitty though.
The word that comes to mind when thinking of the Grateful Dead sound is "fruity." It sounds luscious.
One of the great bands all the time!!!
Dripping with sunshine and vibes! I am high just watching and listening! These were the moments you lived for! Most people have no idea what we have lost! Will Earth and Man ever dance together like this again? I hope new generations will capture this feeling again! Slavery sucks!
they will if you and I help them to
C'mon people, Pole Guy is just social distancing. Way ahead of his time.
It's Iggy !!
Adrian Bang or Jennifer Aniston I cant tell
Nah, it's a bit much, it is... 😬
Hey! im that old crow! I was just enjoying the show on my pole!
Renaissance Faire turned into Oregon Country Fair- very commercial but the vibe in Veneta can probably still be found, although nothing like this.
This is without a doubt the best version of Bird Song I've heard. It's pure perfection both in recording quality and the melodic nature of the guitar jamming. 1972 was such a banner year for the Dead with excellent performances all over the world. I like 1977 performances too but the this show was amazing.
Totally. The Beyond Within performed without stress, effort, pretense, or ego... and only brotherly/sisterly vibes. I brings to my mind a poster I saw not long after.. The Grateful Dead - Jesus's children of Paradise.
The singing is totally out of tune.
Guava jelly:the singing is out of tune? you just don’t get it!
if i had to pick just one song , and one song only , it'd have to be this one, this recording, from this show in 1972, it sounds more ethereal each time i hear it, otherwordly , they have directly contacted her , rest in eternal peace Janis
this is the single best performance of any song in the grateful dead's catalogue by the grateful dead.
Individually everyone is completely digging there own shit but collectively it’s a Sonic Ballet just an Amazing performance ..
Best Bird Song ever and there's like 15 people watching.
There was a decent crowd that day it was a festival
I was far away in Vietnam when they did this , glad to see and hear it now
Song makes me think of my father who died 1.5 years ago and brings a tear of happiness / sadness everytime
sorry Rob, the shows with the Dead family couldnt go on forever, but they certainly were quality✌
This song makes me feel happy about the future for some reason
The very best live version of Bird Song, in my opinion...I have to listen to this, as a huge Dead fan, and as a guitarist, at least once a week!
And no live feed on this recording.
Definitely up there with "Reckonings" version bird song,my opinion
Laugh in the sunshine, sing
Cry in the dark, fly through the night
Jerry's vocals on this version is one of the best out there.
I want to fly a 747
I would submit that this is some of the best music ever made by man - this is so raw and real it brings me to tears
Just stop for one second and seriously think about how beautiful this song honestly is.
Weir's playing & tone on this jam are some of the best I've ever heard- he's so fucking on it here....omg.
Wonderful! And Jer coaxed some great stuff from that Strat!
That guitar is an ode to bird song. Ethereal.
anyone who sings a tune so sweet, is passing by..
Best Dead show I ever attended, ended up naming my house on Maui “Sunshine Daydream” in memory of that glorious day
Bobby's rhythm playing is spectacular here. I've ready about how he was admonished by the band in the 1960s to get better at his instrument. Man, his playing is really distinctive by 1972, seriously adding to the texture of their sound.
This is going to sound incredibly strange to many Grateful Dead fans but I did not find the Grateful Dead until I was almost 53 years old! I cannot explain coherently how the Grateful Dead have affected my life since that moment of discovery.
Dang.....what took me so long!
People find them in all sorts of ways, from all sorts of angles. I'm glad you found them. Some folks never do.
Better late than never - Welcome on board
I'm about that age. Hard to imagine my life without the dead woven in since I was about fourteen or so but a part of me is a bit jealous of being able to discover it for the first time. OTOH I have hundreds of shows and haven't listened to much past 1978 in years so I got something to keep me going for a couple more decades at least.
Me and Dead, 1966. Doesn't matter when, Jeffrey. As we all know, what matters is now.
@@williamgrumm7252 Indeed, to be here now.
Seen plenty of Birdsond's but this one ranks in the top 3. Bobby on point with the rhythm.. Priceless
So, I researched the naked dude and apparently he works in real estate, is super conservative and doesn't want to talk about it.
Please provide his Open House schedule. Real estate agents often provide baked goods to visitors, if you know what I'm gettin' at. Wonder where he keeps he contract signing pen? I suspect it's all digital now, though :)
Acid is a hell of a drug
Possibly the funniest shit ever. Buy a policy from him, dude.
Or a house. Get on that.
There you go!
ahh the good ole days ... where u can get naked and climb a wooden pole and dance ..that dude's "bits & peices" have made it into the history books! 🤣. ahhhh yes the good ole Grateful Dead! 😜💙💙🥂🎩
Some babies were born because of these guys.
RIP hunter. this song, this actual performance made me a deadhead in oct of 1984 in my dorm room at american university in room 601 Anderson Hall. late afternoon. soo much beauty!!
Well, that was the best 12 minutes of my day.
can't even begin to understand how lucky and grateful I am to be able to say that any single frame of video is available portraying the Grateful Dead in 1972. It's a hallmark of this civilization and I am here for it!
sunburned and stoned, what a super chill version, love it
