Goodnight folks, and please be Kind.
Yo @theseventyseven77 - this is the full set list! Finally got around to finishing it. Peace.
Sweet! It looks great. Much appreciated my friend! Peace bro
Thank you so much. Peace, love and groviness
@@skippy1961 Peace
Thanks for posting the setlist!!👍🌞
Billy is a monster drummer, a band is only as good as its drummer! ^8-)
The man is a beast, and makes it looks so simple. Always✌🏽
@@Greens_Blues well said !!! ✌️💗🎶
This recording brings bill's drumming to a focal point. He's pretty amazing!
check out the record called ' turning point ' by john mayall, it will pretty much lay that theory to waste. a band is only as good as the band is , any individual can sink or elevate their sound . the dead had the benefit of being individually all stellar , even visionary, musicians , performers and writers, with the extra added bonus of having the whole being 'grater' than the sum of the parts. anyway this was my first show , tho I'd been to a jerry/merle gig so i was alteady on the bus, then, now, always and forevermore ...
& this band really only ever had one. His name is Billy. Mickey was a unique percussionist who had outlived his contributions and would probably be remembered better had he not returned. All the best but he never added anything after 71. Musically that I liked. Musically, I don't know my @ss from an alligator
Some very pretty vocals. So sweet
Enough has already been said in all of the comments.
Thank You for the upload friend. Much Appreciated
As I recall vaguely, I was at this show, it was my 33rd birthday, brought my 20 year old sister who was a smoke show in her day, think I still have show beverage cup at home. Have to double check, lol
Also made Alpine Valley in 1989 with my mom, I think it was the 19th but I'm not sure. Some kids shared their candy with me. lol
First show was Dillon Stadium, Hartford CT - 7/31/74, yeah, I was just 17 and didn't have a clue, Europe 72 brought me there! I have 25-30 stubs but went to many, many more shows than that!
Awesome show. The mix is unique to me in that the drums and keyboards are up front as much as any Dead concert I've heard. And in this case it's a good thing.
I was at this concert - great music, good times
Me too!…..
The friends that I went to this show with are both dead. I'm Grateful to still survive , I'm only 65! Been seeing this band since 73.
This show is GOAT! Believe me, I've seen alot of shows
An American institution for certain. I saw most of the US shows on the 71 tour into 72. I couldn't deal with DJG impersonating Yoko so I didn't see but maybe 20 or so until she left. But her husband was a great keyboardist. Like Rick Wakeman, only different
@@danielmoore7332 I don't know if Jerry was being polite, but he said on more than one occasion that Donna was a valued member of the band.
Thanks! ⚡💀🎩
Oooohhh!!!! This is sooooo good!!!!! Man I was enjoying this anyway then Phil started singing on Mexicalli just love it
Thanks from SC 77!!!
Excellent sbd a+🍄👍
I Love the Early Scarlet Rock song style. they attack it each time more different then the next this tour. I was 4 in 74. The wall experience must have been the best Ever. The Heat from all those tubes.
holy shit ...i was there!!....had afun time
didn't go in. sat outside on the other side of the sidewalk smoking blond hash with a htfd motorcycle cop that did care as long as we stayed on our side of the sidewalk that separated dillion stadium with colt park. friends were listening on there front porch in EAST HARTFORD OVER THE TRUCK TRAFFIC FROM 91
Darn fire on the mountain is missing
There isn’t a new incarnation of the Dead out there that’s better then Jerry Garcia and the Dead !
I love the 74 shows. Especially the China > Rider segues. I’ve listened to every china rider I have seen out there between 73 and 74. This one is great! My personal favorite is 6/26/74.
First stop for me is always the China-Rider transition from 73 and 74. :) This one is a gem.
FEELING GROOVY 🤩😊✌️
@@marcofanari9820 glad to hear it, feel great myself!!👍👍
Yes, this China Cat/Rider is very beautiful! Particularly, Keith's piano contribution. During '73-'74 Keith was really integrated into the band's sound. Too bad the big H addiction got to him after those two years.
@@davideckman3569 I agree...I've always preferred his (inspired) playing...his delicasy, among other things. I also enjoy the piano sound...although the "organ" sound can be nice...but they've all been nice in their own personal ways...
What a great show I love that sound.. Billy's drums have a nice boxy sound to them. Some of their best stuff. Jerry's on fire
Recorded by the one and only Mr. Kidd Candelario.
Sending Kidd healing vibes and wish him all the best...
I’m so glad be a part of something eternally loving to each soul.
Oh the lives that have been touched…. It’s too much for words…
I’m so glad to be here with you all shaking our asses to into the promised land…..Tom
This is fantastic. This is literally my first concert experience. I can’t remember much of it but what I can remember was wild. Thank you so much for posting this. I’ll be listening to this repeatedly for the next few days.
My my my hard to top if this was your first concert!!..talk about chasing your first..I'm jealous but also so grateful that these recordings are with us ..imagine if we didn't have these ..it would just be torture.
@@StStvNn211 I can never remember a Dead gig I went too, lol only flashes
Obviously the Feelin never goes
tho it was 49 yrs ago i still recall the scene , the high school stadium with the low and easily scalable fence , my two pals i was hitchhiking with climbed up on top of a truck in the lot and crashed as we’d been up all night , i was full of energy tho and kept climbing in and going right up to the front row, then would meander back out over the fence and across to check on my friends. boggles my mind to hear this show , it’s so fucking ass kicking
@@StStvNn211it's only torture if you know what you're missing. You can quote me on that.
I have a cat that purrs and kneads everything the Grateful Dead are playing. Maybe he was a Dead Head in his former life. 😊
I love this band so much it hurts sometimes. It's just so perfect at every turn. , This music will live on forever
What I love about 'em is, bein 52, every month or three I hear @ least one song that's one of they're originals or a cover of somebody else's shit that I never heard them do B4!!! They just keep blowing me away! Like today I heard like three different gospel songs, by J.G.B. I think, that I never heard B4 & I really liked one called "Who Was John" cuz it had a nice bluesey sound to it, Check it out & enjoy!
I know what you mean, especially when I dive into Jerry's solo projects . Hooterall with Howard Wales is an incredible jazz fusion album . Then all the tasty jams with merle saunders, then legion of Mary . I loved the JGB line up with bill , Keith and Donna. Then of course the gospel tunes with Melvin seals. It's just an endless treasure trove that keeps on giving
So well said, my friend! ❤
Great Mississippi 1/2 step…. Love any show where Phil is stomping his way along, and Keith is playing more than he is policing Donna and smoking. The Dead loved playing Connecticut and my hometown NYC.
I'm only learning. That's kinda sad cause til I was a teenager I played Beethoven and all the ( I can't say classics when I HEAR this. This is as classic as it gets.THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤
@@margaretstoner4701 RU Ok?
Phil on EOTW.. man, oh man!!
Thank you for putting this together. J.R.'s photos let me relive the evening. A warm lazy segue from soft sun set to pleasant nightfall. And, yeah, that Wall of Sound was crystal clear. 40+ years on, Jack Straw into China Rider still plays in my diminishing hard drive. Good to have the refresher course. Phil was all over it. They were playing that night....
Recorded on the day I was born at Dillon Stadium, my house was on Dillon street in Dalhousie NB but just saying!! Special show for me ✌
One of the most drippingly psychedelic shows they ever performed. If you have the time and mental ability, I suggest eating some of your favorite mind altering materials and sit back for the next couple hours and watch your mind melt.
Send me tickets for two and be reborn in the pure land of the Buddha. WWJD?
Peace.
@Steve Wilson We would really appreciate a brother doing a solid and sending tickets for two to the EU.
Let bus board the bus again. It has been a long, long time. Peaxe.
May Jerry bless you.
I was born miles and miles away!!
Total melter of a show !
They were locked in I believe dosed to the gills...
Phil contributed just as much vocally as the others, and all were in top form instrumentally....
A Hartford Ct. Melter for sure....
This man or woman offers the best advice one can take.
the boys and girls where on that day the recording has fantastic volume Phil thumps the whole way through
Saw the boys 4 times on those 2 East Coast Summer 74 tours-all excellent shows but this one might be the best...from start to finish as good a show as any ever!
My birthday is may 24th.thanks for the present.listening in Cambodia.
You are part of a worldwide following. Welcome to the Family. Thanks for joining us. NFA.
Peace.

This was my first Dead show. I was 17 and went with about a dozen friends from Milford, CT. Hitched up at 10am and met up there. Watched them assemble the stage. Got some free cards and stuff at a booth. We had so much fun partying, etc. What a great memory.
Didn't any one else notice the Stronger Than Dirt jam at the end of Eyes?
Was at this show. Wall of Sound. I believe Phil and Ned Did a "Seastones" set. Good times.
Yes Seastones....I was fascinated
Wow! I haven't put my head to the good ol' Grateful Dead for a couple of years. I forgot how amazing they are! Not the best at what they do, but they're the only ones doing it... I think Bill Graham said dat. Thanks 🙏 for this show, I really needed it.
This was my first show! Not sure how many total shows. Lost count after we moved to the bay area.
my first show too, didn't know a lot of the material back then, hearing it now, geez, they were just such an amazing group good god
My first as well! I was trippin' hard... I don't remember a lot of it, but wow -- when Truckin' cam on... !
As we approached the stadium , they had already started playing, I remember commenting " The sound is fantastic" As we got closer I saw we were approaching from basically behind/ side of the stage. Unbelievable sound system
Yes, I got the same first impression as I entered the same way. Seeing the massive stack of speakers. Great sound and a wonderful performance. Good times.
Keith sounding extra wild this night
Absolutely marvelous ... What joy this brings.
Thank you very much!
Peace ~ Nick.
Amen! 🐻
I was there! Smoking hot show. Thanx for the upload and the memories of that glorious day.
@Artevius Music All Dead fans are blessed. I'm 70 years old and still listening to the boys every day.
Smokin hot show eh? I see not much is getting past you. 😉😉✌🏽
Amazing to have such a feast of preserved live music.
@@markspringer6080 I am not too far behind and there are plenty of us out there
@@matthewgray469 weare everywhere!
@@markspringer6080 I am 73 and I was at this show. sat outside in dillon park about 50 ft to the right of the stage. I believe Jerry came out as capt trips.
It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait
Woah-oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? What a show! 🤩⚡️👍✌️
Hard to beat that JACK STRAW!! MAN THEY WERE LOCKED IN!! something about Hartford Connecticut, Jerry, and the Dead for that matter, always played well in Connecticut! After a hard day at work, this is very much appreciated. Music is my medicine!! Thank you for sharing!!
I don't know maybe it was the pizza
@@Coastwiser Supreme with extra cheese
So true. There isn't a bad Connecticut show. Even the old coliseum with its terrible acoustics were great shows
" Music is my medicine!!" Well put, my friend. Mine too!!
Syracuse Carrier Dome fall 83 Jack to end the first set.insane end jam i was up front Bobby vamping fell on his ass edge of the staage

Hey 👋 Hippie John!!😔🍂🌿🍁✌I hope you are alive and well!
Hey Gentleman !!! Hope all is well in your part of the world !!! ✌️❤️🎶🍀
Was not in the best of neighborhoods, had my 8-track ripped off, but left the Dead tapes!
And we're off.....⚡
And the music never stopped.Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ü*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*Ä*
Keith is all over this show. Awesome stuff.
if ur out there ms jeannie buffham , and uc this post , i always wanted 2 thank you for stopping and picking up me and my two friends from nj that day hitchhiking and taking us to see this show , i will never forget you and how incredibly nice , and friendly , and how amazingly beautiful , you were . sorry we all got split up and never reconnected thank you and thank you and thanks again
You're a legend. David and Vievie Whitaker. It's me, Steven. Remember your trailer on Brock Bridge Road? The day you two slowed down to pick up this 14 year old nascent hippie? You took me to see Leon Russel later that year, 1973. Remember? Jerry played with the NRPS who opened up. I remember your years of kindness. I remember the grub you fed me.. Wish I could tell you two how much I love you. All those nights listening to Quicksilver, the Airplane, the Dead. The grub you fed me! The politics you educated me. The last show I saw you at Genevieve. Richmond Colleseum 1 Nov. '85 How many people got in for free that night because of you? I love you.
Be kind and contact me. You wouldn't believe WALSTIB.
NFA.
Love that China/Rider/Round and Round; used to end first sets in a really big way.
My god this is exeptional quality. I listened to this show on and off and it wasnt as clean as this one.
8:18 Jerry shouting "Hold on" in the background is great. I always love when the recording picks up banter/dialogue between band members.
The bottles stand as empty
As they were filled before
And time that was in plenty
But from that cup no more
Though I would not caution all
I still might warn a few
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag…🐊🌹✌️
Atop no ship of fools!
Thanks for the great tunes!!🌞🌴 Greatly appreciated 👍👍!!
I was there ..college guy from UMass at the time..did the trip down with a couple of my old high school buddies..was about 20 feet in front of the stage..saw the guy with the microphones on the dummy head..
Rolling Thunder 🍄🌍🍄🌹🍄⚡🍄🌍🍄🔥🍄🌁🌁🌁🍄
Awesome!! Sooo thankful 77
✨✌️❤️🙏🎶✨
Holy moly that Wharf Rat reminding me so beautifully why I put the bottle down!!!
Wracked him in the jaw…
This is one of their best shows that they ever played. Those snobby rich Princeton kids were damn 🍀 lucky to have got a show this exceptional. That said , there are lots of good 74 shows, this and 5/19 Portland,OR. Just stand out as bit above the rest to my ears.
My bad don’t know why I was thinking this was Princeton show. Mind fart
Ask me tomorrow & I'll give you a different june 74 or anytime 73 every other day.
How come you harshin on the crowd? Everybody gets to groove...no matter their class status. Come on...you are all invited
Hartford had so many epic shows over the years! Different venues, but killer shows no matter what! Spring 81 was my first show at, yep, Hartford! Great recording. Thanks for adding it!

Just to prove how irreverent Jerry is you might have cringed when he seemed to flub on of the lead lines lin China Cat.
Oh but contraire monsieur mona me.
Allow me to expound on a few bars seemingly lost but then miraculously found.
Jerry’s just gettin’ down.
One of the best CC-IKUrider. Jerry and Bobby pushing each other to the limit.Lesh, doing his thing in the back ground as the band morphs into one. Don’t know abt you, but, this was Rock n Roll at its finest, played by one of the greatest Rock n Roll bands ever to Grace this world.
74's sound to this uninitiated ear, a real peak in creativity. I appreciate the importance of 72's, 77s, 89s, more recently 91s.. but between the closing 74s and this fine fine example, 74s rock REALLY REALLY Hard..
It was a trainwreck... listen from 53:49. ...it takes forever to get through to iky rider coherently and get everyone back on the same page
I love how you cant abbreviate china cat sunflower > i know you rider as just cc rider 😂😂 love this band man
Ahh those phase canceling mics they had to use with the wall of sound lol
If you listen to enough shows 74 vocals just a bit different. NFA 65-95!
T'was a fantastic year (just graduated High School) seeing the Dead (Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey Chity NJ) before they dissapeared for too long the next. Jerry was clean-shaven, healthy & the Band was tight. The sound was so clean you could hear a fart on stage tween songs
Sloppiness adds to the art
my uncle was at this concert, what a great one.
Me & My Uncle ;-)
I was at the show with my buddies Mike and Bruce…we drove down I84 from Central Mass to Hartford,
Yeah it worked! You gotsta write on it to like it. Wow, that seems to me to be a new You Tube change. Thought I'd write it out to help the next brother or sister. Enjoy the jamz all.
Fat Sound .. Really nice .. thamxx a.lot Greatest Ever.. there will never be another jerry garcia .. waz so much fun ..
My first was March? 74 Portland OR i never sat down danced and stomped the fears into the ground felt the band lift everyone up then drop them down. However each time they got them a little higher and dropped them a little less low so by the time it was over everyone had contacted highness! I thot these are true Masters!
Their not the best at what they do. Their the only ones who do what they do! 🌹
They're on.
I was alive during this show but just a toddler and I am glad I was a little kid before I was an adult. I am glad I can hear it my iPad now because I can hear it with my ears . If I was older I could have been at this show and then I would be older and listening to it on my IPad. I went to some shows and they were fun and then I listen to other shows that I did not attend and they are also good. It is funny to think if I was like born in 2000 and 21 years old I can also listen to this on my iPad and enjoy it. I wish I was 70 so I could say I was at this show and listen to it my iPad. People that saw the dead back in the 70s did acid and had fun and now they can listen to shows on an iPad.
Interesting to read Kreutzmann's description of dealing with the Wall of Sound. Truckin' --> Heavenly Blissful Etheral Cosmic Mind Altering Seamless 25 or so minute jam--> Wharf Rat.WOW!
Snappy Bertha , love and peace to all y'all.
👍😎💥 nice show!!.... thanks for posting..
Was at this show.
Remember trucks and cars stopping on highway ramps near stadium to watch show and cops making them move along.
Hot day , good acid and 3 sets!
Cleaning out my uncle's room where he kept all his cd's a few months ago I stumbled upon this and others. Then found out my aunt was at this show. She said, "It was some really strange music." She also described everyone coming back to their cars after the show to finding their wheels stolen and batteries. Cars were gutted for parts. Just went to see dead and co and the biggest inconvenience was the beer prices. Different times. Wow.
Well that’s bummer after such an incredible show. 😜🐊🥀✌️
They broke into my car to steal the cassette deck FM radio, BUT they left me my Dead tapes! True story
The local animals had a field day busting into cars while we boogied the day and nite away . What would you expect in Hardford?
Are the asterisk denoting first time played? …..Tom
Thanks for posting! There is so much Dead on UA-cam, it's astounding. And much of the music does NOT have Donna Jean trying to 'sing'.
Ramble on..so amazing
😁🤗
Where’s the Phil and Ned? I remember that also…set 2.5!!
And the “Phil and Ned” was superb at the show..that segment blew my mind
I went to this show. Lived in W. HTFD. Hot as blazes that day. I just graduated from HS
Drove down from Boston for this show. Well worth the trip. Stadium was right below I-91 overpass and traffic kept getting backed up as cars slowed down to watch. At one point Weir waves and say "hello freeway!"
This was my first Dead show, I was a freshman in college. Went with some fellow workers from Bill Hahn's located in Westbrook CT, now know as Waters Edge. I am hoping Dark Star picks this show to play on August 2 in Stony Creek.
The wine was never sweeter, grass wass sweeter than dillon stadium in 1974.....I was there!!!
That was you? Some dude stopped just to shake my hand during Scarlet Begonias, and in an instant we swapped lives! Hope yours has been a good one! Or was that in Springfield? Hmm.
check out Ship of Fools -- one of the best versions
One of my favorites. The china/rider is just a masterpiece
God help me,I was only 6 years old,got on the bus 🚌 in Hartford at the St.Stephen show Oct 13th? '83(4ever grateful to my awesome friend, John Bechum) btw... Best drinking buddy ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!I was into metal... Sabbath.Zrpsodem,Judas Priest.
But couple of my peeps had been indoctrinated into the Holy blessings of LSD.. they caught me off guard at a party, tripping balls...lol.. they had me listen to Shakedown Street..I'm like,' Yeah it sux.." They're like,'Listen to it again.." I'm like,"Yeah,it STILL SUX!!" They're like.. ONE MORE TIME...3RD TIMES THE CHARM, RIGHT? THAT time I started digging on Phil's banging bass and the groove got me moving...THEN, JOHNNY SAYS OK...THE DEAD ARE COMING TO THE CIVIC CENTER..WE GOTTA GO!! SND...EE GOTTA GET HIGH AS HELL...( This meant: s hit of blotter each... split a Orange Sunshine and polished it all off by splitting an 1/8th of shrooms...I followed his recommendation fully.. NOW, one piece of info ya gotta hear ..I'm MAJORLY VISUALLY IMPAIRED... I'm talking Helen Keller status... so I told Johnny, remember if you can't see gypsy gypsy can't see you! The minute I walked in the coliseum I was blown away by the whirling swirling colors and smells I can remember smelling opium for the first time and asking Johnny what's that purple smell? That's what opium smell like to me like the color purple and you know the story is already unfolding of course about 15 minutes into the show I lose Johnny! So I head into a bathroom and all these girls are you know splashing water on themselves and everyone saying Jerry this and Jerry that.. so I'm like who's Jerry? And everyone's stopped and looked at me and said first show? I'm like yeah I'm high as hell and I lost my friend, so a kind sister soul put a nice big nugget in my hand and told me to go out in the car in the coliseum and smoke that and have a good time so I went into the civic center proper, and started watching the boys and smoke that weed and something transformed me, all I can say is I sat and watched as Jerry's playing turned into tie-dye musical notess that came whirling out of his guitar into a vortex out through the ceiling of the Civic center into heaven which is exactly where I knew I was and a dead head was born! I miss him everyday but I'm grateful as can be for all the awesome chose that I was able to catch he'll live on in our hearts souls minds forever and until we meet again sweet friend fair thee well..my honey...
They did that a few times in 74 maybe more than a few.....watched Phil online do this a month ago at Skull And Roses festival.... killed it
what a rockin show... this truckin is blowing me away rn. the other day i listened to the 74 show in missoula and man.... 74 was special for them. the early 70's altogether were special for them. God Bless the Dead!!!!!!!!
Good grief!! What a band . What a time!
It Must Have Been the Roses is a beautiful song in any era
😊0😊😊
Do I gotta write something to give this version a like!?
Lesh is more
On Mississippi is he is really swinging
Like wise
"Looks like the old man's gettin on"
those keys god damn!
thanks (so so very much ) for posting, my first show, seems like it was only yesterday ...
Also my first show.
Almost 53 years ago to the day.
