The reason why people are so impressed The the experimental Grateful Dead Blues Band is because for 1 hour and fifty-two minutes there was no band on the planet who could make this great music. Starting at the musical head Jerry Garcia to the two pronged drumming tail they were the ultimate music machine. To help this country improve their music should be play everywhere all the time. I know this is extreme, but we need The Dead more than when I first heard and saw them in the 1960's. Thanks for letting me rant. Great channel.
fuckin a pal
They exceeded the available 4 track recording equipment when recording Anthem of the Sun and had to improvise and patch in extra tracks making the album very expensive to produce. The US version was remixed later eliminating much of the sounds, but the British version used the original master. I was fortunate that my father traveled to England and brought me the unaltered version. Complete with church bells and other interesting sounds.
@@ericagersborg5029 is there a place online to listen to both versions?
Oh, there will be a revival. The Dead shall arise first!
Is thus not pre mickey?
I am a 67 yo student of 20th century American history and am thinking about all that had transpired in that year by the time of this recording. At the time my 15 yo self thought the world was going crazy, you know Tet, MLK, RFK et al. I started exploring the Dead world 2 years later with release of Workingman's. There has been a lot of shit go down in the world since but in times of uncertainty I know I can find solace with these people.
Absolutely!
You have my respect brother
There's a great docu HBO I think called City On Fire about the 1968 World Series between Detroit Tigers and St Louis Cardinals. Race riots were widespread... Lest we are doomed to repeat it, The Grateful Dead always harbingers of peace and love, unfortunately two outdated concepts. Channels like Wall Of Sound obviously striving to reverse this trend. Fortunately, good music never falls out of fashion.
This is treasure this is.
that alligator good god
You did a good job, I would use higher quality editing software. Yet, I mix live sound and multi track the recordings. It's difficult to clean up old analog master reel tapes. Overall, be proud of your work. You will continue to improve and I appreciate your contribution!!!
this was rather condescending.
“Yeah OK job I suppose, I’d have done much better, but here I am, listening to it anyway” - you
Dig the show and shut your yap!
Dude. Read the room
Said channel has less content than the beautiful black hole in the thumbnail. Zero.
Loving how heavy Lesh is in this mix. Such an underrated bassist IMO. Melodic and fluid as hell
heavy strings heavy hands heavy mix
This is the real thing, and it's both beautifully ragged and fiercely deranged. I'll take this anyday over their '80's cover-band trifles. Love the drum interplay triplets on Other One. Whee doggies!
Mr. Norman can find some semblance to the sonic anomalies that beupped the boys in the penultimate year of 68. Shut.
agree 100 percent.
well said
Again sir thank you so much for resurrecting this acid era! 1968 is the year that the Dead really took off musically as before their ideas often outran their abilities, here they have now caught up with and now surpass the simpler joys of the Airplane and others. This is where Hard Rock really started along with psychedelic, Jazz rocks roots and so much more. This is the Dead as the US Beatles of Live performances over LPs. GENIUS. Again thank you sir! This is life support stuff!

Respect my brother.
@@gratefuldrifter6588 thank you! Peace, love, long life and happiness to you and your loved ones brother! It was my older step brother Rick who being a mid 70'd Dead roadie turned me onto the greatest band ever. I got to see Jerry many ties in the early 80's Berkeley where he and his band would play weekends and you could be barr room close to him weekly. Great acid then too ('Blue Dragons'). I was David Peels lead guitarist when Lennon my hero was shot and I lived on his street then too, 344 W 72nd street just 3 blocks from the Dakota and heard the shot. Lennon and Garcia were the parents of the hippie movement. I often call George Clinton 'Black Jerry' as Parliament Funkadlic and the Dead were still waving the Woodstock freak flag in the later 70's and still on top. Also a huge Hendrix, Doors, Allman Brothers fan!
Pig pen years were the best...after he left the trippy sound pretty much left ....no one plays keyboards like that!
TC
Dear Wall, I’m a late comer to your uploads. Being a 68-70 fanatic I am thrilled with what you’ve been unearthing.
Pair of Gibsons for guitars and Pigpen being very vital. Pure Heaven.
Thank you
I made a comment about this soundboard about a year ... this is a superb '68 show ... I keep coming back to it. Must have been something in the water!☠
'68 shows had a certain twang to them ... awful good 💀
On the real.
Rhythm to a different time. A sound that was perfectly aligned to the light of day of the late 1960's. A feeling inside that has changed. Thanks for the ability to go back
Awesome! More primal Dead from '68 The GD sound really expanded during '68-'69, they were just growing musically at an exponential rate
Behold, this is how you drive a Gibson. A Gift for the Ages.
I'm a Fender guy- and I endorse this message!
I know it has already been said many times, but thank you for uploading all these amazing recordings. I used to have a bunch of shows burned onto CD, but lost them many years ago. You tube is now my primary source for complete shows and i must say that your channel is one of the best! High quality sound, cool visual accompaniment and most importantly material that spans the deads career! I am especially digging the 68-69 stuff...a force to be reckoned with for sure!
All this Dead has been an influx for me. .I was a Tapehead ,.But this stuff is incredible
@@kornysinclair9145 was coming to comment on tapes. Just dug some out. Along with the corresponding it was a great time. Grate people. ✌🏽
Charlie Miller is definitely the best!!
Archive.org is the most complete source, but the Wall of Sound has good taste which makes life easier!!
Literally THE BEST for complete soundboard show.
anybody and everybody need to hear this, and stop proclaiming favorites of EVERY/ANY-thing.. and take some fucking clean LSD. Th@ alligator is eating my guts right out.
strychnine Gator .....ughhhh!!!
Shrine Auditorium many times to Hear the Dead..
This is amazing! As close to the real experience as possible today
Never thought I'd get a chance to revisit this again. Thank you
The Dead's music sounded so cool at this time. They were on. On the edge for that time.
well said! that period was iconic and imho
was the best they ever played.
this blew me away. I'm gonna have to listen to more 68 because this is simply great
Yeah, I think in 68 shows there just seems to be so much energy...
'68-'69 band really locking into group-mind and just taking it to another level😎
I cant really say i have a favorite "era" as i love aspects of them all...but the late 60s dead was truly unlike anything else. They obviously continued on improvising and jamming throughout their career...but these shows didnt stop. Listening to dark star the other one cryptical st steven eleven feedback suite that they regularly performed various combinations of is like going on a roller coaster ride that doesn't let up until it ends an hour or so after it started!
To me this is the best THE DEAD LIVE IN 1968 👾🛸👽🥀
This is the era that got me into the Dead, listening to my parents' Anthem of the Sun album... still my favorite "studio" album by them. Feels like barely controlled chaos, like much of life. This Alligator rips!
That's it, it's deranged, ragged, and overpowering.
We all graduated highschool and scurried off to junior college to get our draft deferments.
That there’s a haunting Death Don’t.
Thank you sir
another amazing show of the group at it's most ferocious, it just seems there's nothing they couldn't do musically, if you ever wonder why they were Bill Graham's fave, and he saw them all, well give this show a few listens, tho one may suffice, tho not for me . some incendiary shit going down this hear road feelin' badazz
They were on fire in 68 and very few could work an audience like Pig in a full blues rave.
My 1st Dead show was in '68. It was a school night 😆

Best version of “In The Midnight Hour” I’ve heard. Love when Phil hooks into that bass groove around the hour 46 mark.
Please Mr. Lemieux, if we are listening, release this or 10/12 or 8/20. Like a late 50th birthday 🎁.
'68 Fillmore show!! Wall of Sound, you are the 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you!
And so is Elaine!
Absolutely great. Time for me to get to work recapping my old amp, wimpy computer speakers cannot do any sort of justice. Oh the neighbors are gonna hate me! Thanks much!
This one is becoming one of my favorites from 68...thank you my brother!
I here ya brother
this show really is on the upper end of decent... the opener is mosh pit worthy
The hypnotic riff jerry plays at the beginning of dark star symbolizes 68
The band sounds great! I'd like the vocals more forward in some cases, but that's quibbling.....thanks WallOfSound!
That’s some mighty mellow plucking from Jerome on Dark Star.
Wow. I hear the music, and turn my ear, and I see when I close my eyes. What a great sounding show!
My experience is similar
Oh man that ferocious snarl just before the arrow's release in William Tell is absolute perfection!
This is pure magic, I was only 6 years old at the time. Just a boy compared to some of you guys. I fell in love with the Grateful Dead when I was 14 and haven't stopped. So I would just like to say thank you so much for sharing 👍
i was just a wet dream... we got sad jerry... no pig pen.. and arista influence... i envy you old dusty cats
Listening to this show on the way to work this morning on Sirius - Today in GD History. Had to look it up. Thank you!!
Awesome! Love these old shoes the most. More pigpen!!! Hey, bill or Mickey, take it easy on that gong, brother. I’m betting it’s Mickey. In 67 he did NOT know how to play a gong very well.
Burn down the Filmore gas the Avalon!
So wonderful, how in this period, Jerry would play passages/riffs/musical ideas that no other human musician ever imagined or conceived...and the group musical mind just accepted it and flowed with them. Oh my gosh the drums during these times.......
The stars aligned across the cosmos and the birth of their intelligence and sophistication made way. This year is by far what the Grateful Dead mean to me...raw and frightening, their esp was on 11 (volume) and saturated with L25. Fill ur head, put on headphones, and reach the outer-limits
The improvisation, is a large part of what made the Grateful Dead the masters of the mindf*ck. I have no idea, how many times they got me *lost in space,* until the segue ended and the next song started.

Cool! ! '68 Dead.
Gadzooks, Manfred!! I can't stop playing this over and over. And I can pick it out least 4 or 5 alligators in that great art work accompaniment. Best Wall of Sound ever?
First part of the second set is getting released on vinyl for the Grateful Dead origins comic book they are putting out at the end of July.

@@craigcraig9731 well thank you! I try to have good selections on my playlists peace ✌️
Fantastic show ⚡️💀🌹
6800 copies.
I am so humbled, and grateful!!!! Fantastic post. If you ever get anything form 8/4/68, my 1st show, even low quality, would be most appreciated. thanks, WOS, will enjoy this to no end.
There is no known copy in existance for 8/4, the 1st newport pop festival...sorry... a great site that shows you every copy available aud, sbd, and matrix is www (dot) deadlists (dotcom)
unreal! Jerry just flows brilliance with every note and riff. imho nothing they did after these early concerts comes close to those “ experiences”. i love everything they did BUT primal dead was and is “ The Grateful Dead”. This is where the culture all started
They are too good here to say primal Dead, that's 65-67. 1968 they just completely changed into the Grateful Dead that are musical geniuses. Especially Garcia.
This is the first DS>SS>11 surviving I think. The St Stephen is superb and is the oldest on SBD, (second surviving). It's also the first going into The Eleven (rather than the other way round).
wow.
Brings back memories. Went to this show
OMG a huge mil gracias for posting this show up. Absolutely sensational!
Great sound and free flowin jammin
Charlie I knew you'd gift us forever. Another beautiful transfer for another generation to discover. Sublime.
would you say that is Pigpen on the Other One? based on that I'd say he was equal any other GD keyboardist
I have the same question. Constanten or Pig? I saw them a few months before this show and I can't remember if Constanten was in the band then
Pretty sure it’s pig, doesn’t sound advanced enough to be TC, and I’m fairly sure TC wasn’t a permanent addition til Sep 68.
Thus run marks a maturation and beautiful versions of Dark Star began manifesting evolving and expanding ineffably.
dang I caint download none of these Grateful Dead soundboard postings via mp3juices. Whatta shame it is
Fucking dynamite!!
Dynamite for the mind! 😋
Excelsior!
The Alligator is, indeed, a monster. Listen for hints of "Goin' down the road" in the primordial Alligator swamp
interesting to compare with 3/16 which is where they really started to mind meld
its we bid you goodnight instrumental not GDTRFB although it was often included in the jam. great uploads btw.
So happy you put this one up
This was my "go to" every time I'd get spun.
The audio quality of your work is unbelievable. Hard to imagine this was a barely known band playing 51 years ago and you bring it to the present this directly. Thanks!
Wall of Sound listen for Donovan’s “There is a Mountain” nod at 46:38.
Absolutely great stuff
My favourite,but i dont have one deadhead soldiers know what i mean the 60s were glory,and brother pig was well and full of dead life,bless his blues soul.Tripping 60s lsd for you and me,peace family.
Found my huckleberry, thanks!

Really interesting panning effect at 54 minutes.
I love the '68 shows. They're truly magical.

SG. Fender amps. Nod to the Brothers mountain-Yep.
Jerry played a black les paul summer of 68 SG in 69
@@michaelpiercey2160thank you. My statement stands- for 69’. 😂
Allman Bros weren't even a band when this show was played. The Allmans stole the "Mountain Jam" from the Dead. Barry O and Duane were huge Dead fans.
@@ANVILCLOUDNM weren’t the Allman Joys and Hourglass recording in 1966-1967?
The jamming on Alligator is seriously blowing my mind right now. Jerry's playing is amazing!

It’s an incredible jam a La junior wells
Thanks again
Man - you can really hear Phil wailin' away on his Bass, just clear as a Bell ! The GD sound quite Polished too, as if they finally got enough Stage time with these Songs. Great clean Recording too ! Thanks so much.
That spaceman, that’s what He sees right after the band really kicks into the jamming on Alligator.
I'm 912
Thank you for all you post.
Phil is on Phire here! Wow 🔥
Nice Graphic !
Nice Graphic!
I'm running this fine show you posted through my recently acquired McIntosh 6700...a pair of new Klipsch towers...very nice...ty so much WOS... undoubtedly my brother was at the show we lived close to the whole scene I was going on 11 years old my first show in 71 with so many to follow Grateful Dead call Jerry Garcia band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Quicksilver Messenger Service the dinosaurs, Terry and the pirates, zero, Steve kimock band let's go to a show I'm p a y i n g all we need is a time machine for some of these! Thanks a lot for all your music you post

Wow! Thanks for your work!!

Grateful
Jerry's playing splits my head open like a cantaloupe, so dynamic and powerful during these formative years. They weren't just a blues band any more. The groove is incredible. Two drummers takes it into another dimension, especially two very different drummers like Bill and Mickey blending together. And always good to hear Bob in any mix -- too often buried. I'm sure I am leaving something out, but you can't just listen to one or two players at a time. You have to get the whole picture, the full spectrum, all at once. That's why it takes a few listens. There's so much there.
Thanks for posting this. My favorite year of GD, as it was 5-5-68 when I first saw them. I was 15
Let me be clear, there is nothing and I mean absolutely nothing like a Grateful Dead concert
Name one other band who can play in 4/11 time, go ahead I'll wait.
Wall Of Sound doing God's work. Thanks for all these shows!
listening on headphones transports me back. nothing else matters as i listen
Why do I hear two Jerry’s at times?
Thank you
Thank You! This is...................
^_____^:-)
Crickey! Constanten constant little monotonous, repetitive singsong organ riff in Dark Star makes it unlistenable for me. Ugh!
That is Pigpen, T.C. is not on this show. T.C. was much more inventive.
some absolutely beautiful jams in here.
