Well, shout out to your patrion friend "Phil Lesh" for requesting one of his most outstanding compositions. I always felt the Dead's songs fell into various categories, this falls under Philosophy. Suggestions on how one can live their life, and the dangers that can come with that route. "They say love your brother, but you catch it when you try", or "Forgiveness is the key to every door". Who writes lyrics like this any more? Yeah, keep digging in this direction. Maybe try Eyes of the World or Help on the Way>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower next time for more great lyrics to think about while you're dancin' your ass off.
Thanks!
"Who writes lyrics like this anymore?" #PhilLesh (:
@@poetreatsartreats2469 Actually, words by Bobby Petersen--Phil wrote the music.
Now THATS a request. Top shelf songwriting and some of their best in-studio jamming, carried by Jerry's breathtaking guitar work.
This is Grade A Dead right here
we love when phil sings.....
Absolutely!
Out in space but also grounded. Pretty apt description of Grateful Dead music. Good call S.A.D.
Thanks Marc! Glad you agree!
Deadhead1: Was that Phil?
Deadhead2: Its always been Phil!
Great way to put it, Dan. The song has its feet on the ground and soars as well. Jerry's guitar solo is transcendent and Phil's bass, he wrote the song, is the esrtbound warmth of feet on the ground. Many years ago my girlfriend got into a really bad car accident and after she recovered for the most part we went to retrieve things from her totaled car and in the tape deck was a compilation tape I'd made her called Songs Pulled from a Hat (I'd taken song names and written them on pieces of paper and pulled them from a hat to choose the order of songs) and as we left I popped the tape into the cassette player and this song came on and it really brightened our hearts because she had survived "unbroken" even though she had bruised raccoon eyes and a severely broken leg and arm she survived so Unbroken Chain had always been our song. Your sense of it is spot on.
Wowwww that’s beautiful!
The Phil Lesh??? This is one of the rare ones, Love this one... Thanks Mr. Lesh. The bus came by in 1990, I got on and that's when it all began!!!! (~):}
Beautiful piece of writing by GDs bassist, Phil Lesh...
Very deep & profound lyrics, and amazing arrangement.
Glad to see you guys doing Dead reactions!!✌💜🎶
If you go back a couple months they did Estimated Prophet too.
We love the Dead!
You do know who Phil Lesh is the incredible Bass player and singer of Unbroken Chain.
The most gorgeous haunting song they never played in their prime
Thanks Phil! I was at the show on 3/19/95 when the Dead busted this one out. It ended the first set, The crowd went crazy, and in the mayhem I made my way to the floor and hung out next to the soundboard. As i look around, who should be standing next to me but Candace Brightman, the Lighting Director for the Grateful Dead. So, she says to me, "Wasn't that something!?" 'Wow, it was awesome" I think I got out. We went on to have a five minute conversation about the "Bandmembers" as she called them. What a night. Thanks again.
Sounds like a great time!
was there too..amazing
I love that you always find the most arcane tracks of the band that aren't necessarily indicative of their best or signature work. The thing about them is that their tastes are vast and wide so it's hard to pin down a particular sound. They work in all genres. But might I recommend Shakedown Street as one that is a bit of a fan favorite. But there are so many of their tracks that are so interesting. Welcome to the rabbit hole. It's deep.
Their Patreon supporters request the songs, so you can blame the song choice on the supporters. ;) Imagine if all of the 'reactors' were just listening to the same hit tracks - 30 reviews of "Casey Jones". Yikes.
@@An_Cat_Dubh i wasn't criticizing. I liked the choice.
Thanks Robert! We appreciate you!
I believe this song is some of the Dead’s finest work
Love this whole album. Phil Lesh is singing on this one.
Shoutout to Phil!
Shoutout to Phil!
LOVE THA DEAD!!
Thank you Phil!! Dang sorry I never caught a live "Unbroken Chain"! It was one that eluded me! The percussion on this song is insane!! I just love Mars Hotel and we get another great Lesh/Petersen contribution, "Pride of Cucamonga" on the album. Lots of this material had staying power in the live rotation: US Blues, China Doll, Scarlet Begonias, and Ship of Fools in particular.
Great reaction. Thanks for doing this song, a gem of a deep track from a sweet eclectic album.
Thanks for watching!
About exactly 50 years ago (Aug 6 '71) give or take an hour GD laid down a Hard to Handle in yet another demonstration of what makes live GD so damn special. In terms of studio output, this has a very worthy jam.
I LOVE that y’all listen, REALLY LISTEN! Thanks again!! ❤️
We appreciate you Gene!
It’s so hard to get a good representation of GD from any one song, especially not a studio version. But if you’re doing studio try Terrapin Station for prog rock Dead, Friend if the Devil for perhaps their most timeless folk tale, Althea for bitter sweet silky smooth Jerry guitar etc. For the live stuff you really can’t go wrong with 5/8/77. Especially Scarlet > Fire on the mountain, Morning Dew, or Dancing in the Streets if you’re into a funky hippie disco dance party
This is a perfect representation imo; it shows off songwriting, vocal harmonies, instrumental prowess...all of their best qualities
@@timcardona9962 Couldn't agree more!
@@timcardona9962 for me it would probably be Terrapin.
Thanks!!
If you liked this another great Phil Lesh song is "Box of Rain"
next you should try some New Riders of the Purple Sage: panama red. henry, glendale train, dirty business to name a few .. also one of jerry garcia's fav bands, he'd sit in with them on the pedal steel ... y'all do gr8 work!
Thanks!
Bobby's rhythm guitar is crazy good!!
That bass, and those drums! The keyboard work! Wow.
Spacey and earthy - perfect description. Nice review guys - glad you appreciate
Thanks for watching!
Wowowow! I was just gonna suggest you react to this! It's time signature madness! They rarely played it live, 'cause it was just too hard to keep track of all the shifts!
Pure awesomeness :)
Dunno if the one who suggested this is the ACTUAL Phil Lesh but he was/is the Grateful Dead's ACTUAL bass player. He therefore has a lot to do with the continuity - the unbroken chain - of the music, and the band and its legacy. he also wrote the music to this song. Thanks for tuning in! :) Y
What he said :)
Thanks for watching friend!
Never heard that one before but great guitar work by the late Jerry Garcia his style is unique and I can always recognize it when I hear it.Hats off to the bass player for some great bass work.
I always liked "China Doll" off this album
I LOVE the Dead, in my summer tour 92 shirt now
Shout-out to Phil for suggesting this song (:(:(:(:(:
Nice choice on this suggestion. Prog-rock Dead.
Your choice of cuts is really interesting!
Hi Jim, thanks for watching! They’re all suggestions from our wonderful patrons!

WOW PHIL KNOWS WHO YOU ARE! BEAUTIFUL.
One of their few studio albums. Great stuff thanks
Thank you!!
Is that THE Phil Lesh, the Dead's bassist?! Cool, if so! Not the first time artists or their loved ones have interacted with reaction channels, I hope not the last. Cool tune, typically interesting and perceptive reaction. The "feet on the ground, head in in the sky" thing inevitably, for me, brings to mind Jimi Hendrix's 'Earth Blues', he explicitly sings he's in that position.
If so, Phil is requesting his own song LOL
Let Phil sing
😆 Phil recommended his own song? 😆 Always good to hear the Dead but they're meant to be heard live. The studio is their laboratory 😉😎
True generally. But for this song, not so much. It was so damn difficult to play, that they hardly ever played it live (at least that's what I've heard). Try to follow the time signatures in the intro and bridges, and you get an idea why
I heartily disagree
funny...Phil didn't request a live version......Rock On Phill-er-up!!!
Interesting Dead choice, the San Francisco sound is apparent, makes me want you react to "White Bird" from last days of the Fillmore.
Yes!!! White Bird is exquisite
you know that phillesh is singing on this song and the bass plater and if the phil lesh who asked for song is phil wow
lol it could be him, but its the internet and we doubt it
Kimono Dan strikes again
Fuck man I wanna get high with Dan and vibe with the music pure and true
👍
:)
Thank's! This is not a great Dead song in my opinion but is good. You should try the live songs like Scarlet Begonias into Fire on the Mountain (5/8/77), Eyes of the World (6/18/74) or China Cat Sunflower into I Know you Rider (Europe 72')
Thanks Fernando!
It's my personal favorite Dead song.
Fun fact, the script below the title says Ugly Rumors
PhilZone FTW
You just DEFINED the counterculture, from which the Dead was actually BORN: both earthy AND spacey... How'd you do THAT?
Many say the Dead was all about the concerts, which isn't NOT true, but I think they did some great studio work too! THIS song is one of my fav tunes from the Dead, from my fav lp, Mars Hotel!
:)
This must be re- mixed. I really can not appreciate why they feel a need to re-mix master recordings. It does not sound anything like the original mix. Sounds very weird to what I remember.
Bro is just advertising his own work 😂
An unusual Dead album. Less Garcia/Hunter compositions, and at least two Phil Lesh numbers, this and Pride of Cucomunga which is a great tune. I love Ship of Fools and China Doll which I think are on the album as well.
I might have to join Patreon just to get you to do Dark Star. Still pretty much the best and most creative guitar performance I've ever heard, and the bass playing matches it. A true trip in science fiction psychedelia - invoking visions of space, and cosmological phenomena. Also, the lyrics have the most psychedelic imagery I've ever come across - truly poetic, and probably Hunter's masterpiece.
This is definitely Grade A+ GD material. I was around for it. It was over 26 years ago. Now it’s just a cover band.
This song is fantastic! Thanks for watching!
live concert reactions to GD
One thing about Grateful💀Dead is that if you hate one song there’s always another one you’ll love because they run the whole gamut from folk to country, to funk, to blues, to rock, to psychedelic, and beyond! Something for everyone. Do a reaction to something on the album Reckoning. All acoustic but so nice. Thanks 😊
Listening to studio Dead is kind of missing the point of the band. The records weren't really what mattered.
too bad this one was never done live until right before Jerry died
I think this song is lifeless.
The high pitched landing plane sound is annoying af.
😆 We respect your very descriptive opinion!
