    Happy birthday America, you sick son-of-a-bitch!!! Awesome 😎
    How do you feel about doing some acoustic guitar stuff? My parents won't buy me an electric rig because I haven't spoke to them in 30 years.

    I’m so glad i’ve found your channel i absolutely love everything you are doing. If you don’t already have it on your list, I would love to see a looks like rain lesson, that song has me tearing up every time I hear it, especially the Boston 6/9/76 and DP 18 versions. Looks like rain solos just make me feel something that not many other songs do. Such a beautiful song.

    Love the lessons, Davvy. As a combined dead head/parrot head, I was wondering if you had a Franklin's Tower/One particular harbour on the horizon? Could get two birds stoned at once, so to speak.

    • @Andrewjmarino
      @Andrewjmarino 3 роки тому

      I think it is more that the song was always a fairly regular and predictable encore song. It doesn't really fit well elsewhere in a show, except maybe closing a first set. Opening a show with it every once and a while would've be interesting.

    not to discredit anyone's deadhood, but if you're having problems with that intro, you need to check yourself. every single one of those words was real and true and its the exact kind of shit every hippie has been saying for years and if you disagree with it, then maybe the hippie culture isnt for you man. things need to change and sometimes change means speaking up about things. great lesson davvy

  • @rickwild5695
    @rickwild5695 Рік тому

    Thanks Davvy. While your intro may all be true in essence it is the economic apartheid that creates disparity in America. Regardless of our history the us constitution applies to all people that are citizens of this country. While we are free to be as we are others will always use that freedom to take advantage of others. Be self governing be kind.

    This is one of the few songs in the Dead catalog I've just never been able to get into, but unlike the others at least it's short and it sounded fun to play (which is why I assumed they played it a lot) so I'll give it a shot this weekend. Sometimes I like a song better if I learn it anyway.

    • @TobyDavvy
      @TobyDavvy  3 роки тому +2

      Stating facts about how our country was formed and how much money it would take to raise people out of poverty isn’t a “left opinion”. It’s facts. I don’t support any political party. I care about people. So, maybe do some thinking as to why hearing those facts triggered you before trying to project your insecurities onto me. I don’t care what anyone believes in. I do care about their well being, though. Have a good one.

      Lmao. Not much of a flex, homie. We may not have 100k subs but our videos do great and we make an actual living off of this channel. So while you can troll with your 7 subs and vids from 15 years ago, I’m laughing all the way to the bank. And you still watched the vid and you’re still interacting with it. All of which only helps us.

    Davvy you are the best! Love how you put the song and the holiday in context. One of the things I love about the Dead is they present a vision of America that I can feel patriotic about. Patriotism has been hijacked by the far right and makes people like me feel turned waaaay off by patriotic shit. My American flag isn't red, white, and blue, it's crimson, white, and indigo...
