Michael - I was never that into the Dead growing up, but Thank you for the deep dives and for giving me a greater understanding and appreciation for them!
It’s a weird tune for sure. I didn’t really dig it.. then I went and saw the Grateful Dead in Seattle and they opened with it. It was super appropriate. What wild scene. Actually a great tune to warm up the band and audience on.
After enjoying Michael's channel for a long time I still marvel at how much music theory there really IS and how much of it he knows & can APPLY. My life would have been different If I had him as a teacher years ago!
Feels Like A Stranger is my fave show opener from the Dead. Thanks for reviewing this tune Miguel 😀 BTW.. this is the version they put on the Without a Net live album. Recommended!
maybe for an east coast show but the first time they played darkstar in 5 years was at the greek theater in berkeley earlier that same year. my dad worked for bill graham at the time and said the whole audience went crazy, even after the show everyone in the lot was freaking out about it
Happy subscriber -- lifetime member -- over at Guitargate, and, yeah, this long-time Deadhead is over-the-moon psyched to dive into the new course. Can't wait!
I barely picked up the guitar about two years ago and I've already felt like I've hit a plateau in my playing, but watching your videos has been what has kept me interested and wanting to learn everything I can. I've been watching your videos before I had even picked up a guitar and the way you are able to immediately pick up any tune or rhythm is just... OH MY GOD! I love your videos and can't wait to see what you breakdown next!
been watching you since beginning of the pandemic. thrilled to see your evolution of understanding here as well as delving a bit deeper into the catalogue. Shirt is cool too! Peggy-O '77 please...Bobby's subtle voice phrasing on that is sublime.
Thank you for going through this tune Michael. I also really enjoyed seeing/hearing Jerry crush that solo. Very groovy all around thanks again Michael!
Your recent top 5 opener video was fun. For.me, Stranger belongs on the list. What an opening progression and first song for a Dead show. Just getting after it!!! Thanks for this and all you do! (PS. Stll looking for the Cornell Lazy Lightning \Supplication) please
My senior year in high school. This tour was lit as fall tour tended to be, and they knew they were going to bring the fire. This was the tour opener and Brent is screaming "gonna be a long long crazy crazy tour"... a week later at Brendan Byrne on Bobs birthday they captured even more magic and the force was the strongest I ever personally witnessed...nightfall of diamonds they called it. It was never the same after 89.
@@Guitargate I don't know if this would work, but I'd love to see what you think of ua-cam.com/video/MjYkw_hN21g/v-deo.html&ab_channel=GratefulDead-Topic . Phil leads the jam towards the end of the song and it's always one of the first stand-out Phil moments that comes to mind.
@@Guitargate Or the same song from 15th Feb 1973 - Dane County Coliseum - Madison, WI, although I don't think it's released - ua-cam.com/video/6PAhw0P3CNA/v-deo.html
This is my fave on this song. I was able to be at quite a bit of the Without A Net album dates. I like this song so much some of my friends used to call me “Silky” IYKNK
Hey Michael could you do the 5/9/77 Buffalo set 1 opening Help>Slipknot>Franklins? This show is often overlooked as it’s in the shadow of Cornell but every bit as good. Thanks and keep up the good work!
can you a react video of dead and company's version? eel Like a Stranger (Live at Pine Knob Music Theatre, Clarkson, MI, 6/29/22) this version to be more exact? I'd love to hear your take on the two. Both beautiful in their own ways, yet somehow a completely different feeling song. It's unreal
Side comment - how do you like how the moon white color looks in person? Some pictures it looks more subtle (like here) and others it looks very yellow
Great video of one of my faves!! I like this version, but generally think 1980-81 are the best renditions - raw and inspired playing/vocal jams. Heady version always stacks late 80s/90s shows. (attendee bias). ua-cam.com/video/oP4t3YLm4E8/v-deo.html
Hi Michael, if there's time and opportunity u should react to ALIP_BA_TA with his cover of NUMB (by Linkin Park), I promise you will love it! ---> ua-cam.com/video/DjypEPFBLfw/v-deo.html And after that all his other genius covers! All the best man.
Yes, very much a reflection of the times. I know very little about mixing in any context, studio or live, but they seem a little loud compared to the other instruments and vocals, too. Jerry's guitar sounds beautiful, though.
@@boomerdell I find a lot of those late 80s Dead shows to be oddly mixed at times, and they don’t help by being so dry too, with it just being a direct soundboard recoding with almost zero audience mixed in
It is time to get right with Jesus. nobody is automatically gonna go to heaven at the end of it, we all have lied or stolen or had sex before marriage and the punishment is hell. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of a future sin when we confess and forsake it. When you start to follow him you have to strive to obey what he commands. Read the Bible!! No one will enter heaven without the blood of Jesus. No other way but through Jesus!!!

Everyone (rightly) raves about the Eyes with Branford, but Cassidy/Bird Song/Let it Grow are must listens from Without a Net IMO
Michael - I was never that into the Dead growing up, but Thank you for the deep dives and for giving me a greater understanding and appreciation for them!
When I first got into the Dead I didn’t like this song. After a few months I heard this version and now every time it comes on I’m like this 🕺🏿
It’s a weird tune for sure. I didn’t really dig it.. then I went and saw the Grateful Dead in Seattle and they opened with it. It was super appropriate. What wild scene.

Loved seeing you watching and grooving along! Feels good to see others feel good!
Brent tipped the band’s hand. It sure was a “crazy tour”. First Dark Star in 5 years that night!
Lots of talk in the lot if and when that Dark Star would rise again. We walked out that night completely stunned. Attics encore!
And the old man never was the same again ...
Less we forget the Death Don't Have No Mercy 😍
And first Attics in 1082 shows
maybe for an east coast show but the first time they played darkstar in 5 years was at the greek theater in berkeley earlier that same year. my dad worked for bill graham at the time and said the whole audience went crazy, even after the show everyone in the lot was freaking out about it
Love when Jerry teases the melody in his solos
I had never realized Jerry was playing Wolf for these shows.
Keen observation. Not many noted it!

Cheers from Philly keep it up brother! I learn so much from your videos.
I catch myself singing, "Silky, silky, silky crazy night," wonderfully often.
Augusta Maine 1984 has a killer “ Stranger”
I had this show and dozin at the knick on replay for a long time in my 20s lol. Brent was the man, rip.
Thank you for going through this tune Michael. I also really enjoyed seeing/hearing Jerry crush that solo. Very groovy all around thanks again Michael!
I haven't heard this song in so long - I need to put it back in the rotation

They kept the great 89’ energy going all the way until Brent died. For me it was all downhill after the death of Brent.
"Stealth" gigs billed as Warlocks (their previous name) at the Hampton mothership!
Warlocks. Jerry whips out "The Wolf"
Thank you for this!
That was great, Michael. Nice breakdown!
Great show!.
I don’t care how much I get made fun of from friends for liking this one. This version and jam is just so cool.
You need better homies, my friend
Reeeeeeeally wish you would do something like this focusing on examining Phil.
Yes. I’d love that. Ok - what’s the ideal track??

I second that recommendation!
I love studying BB'S BOX, but I wish some one would make a video on some of the boxes Jerry spent most of his time. Please create one!
this was my last show first dark star and attics in forever
My first show
This is my fave on this song. I was able to be at quite a bit of the Without A Net album dates.
I like this song so much some of my friends used to call me “Silky” IYKNK
That was fun. I wanted to comment c#m or b all day but I waited and you figured it out.. nice work!
Please do Meet Me at the Creek by Billy Strings, Austin City Limits
Another great video! Where did you get that t-shirt? It's such a great design!
If you want to react to one of the greatest heartfelt solos of Jerry Garcia check out "When the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" (4-23-93)
I was there.
I’m hearing the c#m as well, but have no idea how that fits. This is such a confusing progression.
Was there both nights. Wonderful times!
Hey Michael could you do the 5/9/77 Buffalo set 1 opening Help>Slipknot>Franklins? This show is often overlooked as it’s in the shadow of Cornell but every bit as good. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I should start transcribing some of these intro noodles you do.... They're kinda fire
You should check out the version of this song by the Motet.
god i love your videos! would love to see your breakdown of grateful dead birdsong 08/27/72
Where'd you get that Shirt Boss? Thx, Great Channel too!
can you a react video of dead and company's version? eel Like a Stranger (Live at Pine Knob Music Theatre, Clarkson, MI, 6/29/22) this version to be more exact? I'd love to hear your take on the two. Both beautiful in their own ways, yet somehow a completely different feeling song. It's unreal
Do I see a prs silversky SE?
Just bought one.
:p
Never met a “Stranger” I liked. But I like the breakdown and analysis.
Side comment - how do you like how the moon white color looks in person? Some pictures it looks more subtle (like here) and others it looks very yellow
Great shirt!
I agree. Dancing Bears simply OWN this song! 😎
Just here to remind you about Albert King and Gary Moore “Stormy Monday” Live.
The Warlocks show - I was there
Nice Jerry & Bob T!
Killer tee!
A request for a reaction to Zach Person, anything from his audiotree session really. Send me away though - such a powerful song.
I want that shirt!
That is a slick shirt.
It's gonna be a long, long, crazy, crazy night...
Please do a Tony Rice video.
I want that shirt...... NOW
I only eat shirts
I'd love to see your take on Charleston Girl by Tyler Childers
Nice shirt!!
Sean Costello - Can't let go
Please listen
I could totally see you replacing John Mayer.
I was thinking the same thing.
and he'd only have to play at half speed !
Are you Bob Weir from Mill Valley? Response is definitely sounds like something Bob Weir would say.
I love your guitar playing/music Bob! Your a very cool cat in my book!
What's the recording equipment you're using?
Please do a reaction of Focus - Hocus Pocus!!
Nice Mike
hit up some 1980 stranger
corey hedge- faithfully listen to it
Great shirt! 😂
A late Wolf show!
Goodmorning
Never had a key, just left the door open

Which you had a mutron and octaver during this.
Day #2 of asking Michael to react to Gary Moore playing The Loner Live at Stockholm 1987!
