    Danced near Bob Weir for the entire concert, onstage at Porchester Theater in 1969 two nights in a row and spent the entire time with the Band. So sweet. I'm 70 now and that experience made me a different person in too many ways to describe. Let's just say that the Grateful Dead are my happiest moments in life.

      You’re right, it’s amazing how it transitions. I was fortunate to have seen the. Several times around this time, here in the US. In the 60s they could meander, in the 70s they were pretty tight, considering their loose style.

    • @benringenberg2394
      @benringenberg2394 Рік тому +2

      Well said, and absolute truth. I cannot listen to the transition without maxing the volume out about 45 seconds before "I know you rider", so sweet and it never gets old. Trying to think about roughly how many times i have listened to this in my lifetime, honestly 1500 is probably pretty accurate, if not more. God damn I love them.

      @benringenberg2394 Рік тому

      Well stated my brother. I find myself questioning if I am an over the top fan these days....and the answer I came up with is a solid absolutely. My love for Jerry is so strong and my appreciation for all the joy he has brought me is beyond measure. I dont want to call him a God, but he kind of is the God of my universe. I like to imagine if there is a heaven, it is a Grateful Dead tour that never ends, and there are bottomless supplies of all the cleanest psychedelics, headiest greens, and pharmaceutical coke and heroin, and I am surrounded by happy loving heads for eternity. This is one dream I would love to see come true.😁

    Once many years ago I put headphones on my mother who was in her mid-70's and told her to listen to this. I said, Pay special attention to the transition between the two songs - that's where the magic happens. Sure enough, at a point midway, a beautiful smile spread across her face. It was a gratifying moment.

    The Allman Brothers Band and the Greatful Dead were touring together back in late 1972. They were playing in Houston and I had front row seats. Berry Oakley had just died two days before the concert and the Allman brothers had cancelled this show. The Grateful Dead showed up and played the entire set by themselves. I was not that big of a fan of the Grateful Dead until that night. The played for over four hours straight. It was incredible.

      Reasons I'll withhold. When I did, they stopped playing and I thought I missed it. It was an intermission, and they did a second set. I've never seen another concert where a band would play for that long. So long, they take a break, halfway through.

      '72, IMO, was the peak. Still had the "high," improved technique and energy creating "Magic" and it wasn't just the "Jerry Worship Show." Maybe THE peak was the Veneta show that year. Maybe before when there was less separation between the "band" and the "audience." In any case, glad they recorded just about every note from those early days that still are a turn on.

      From one Gary to another. I found tabs for China Cat some years ago and was surprised to find out the dedel de ta dedle det sparkly twinkly part is Bob, the raged rythum roller coaster behind it is mostly all jerry beating his low E string silly, (not Phil), hence things were not always what I thought they were.
      in an interview, Phil claimed "Once when Garcias sound wasn't working I was amazed at how well Bob could cover for him until they solved the problem. on the solos that was me whistling all the high notes, the audience didn't even notice !". ( although I take his remarks with a grain of salt). gary

    I first heard about Grateful Dead when I was 14 years old. I was in a hippie mountain town in Colorado, at a gift shop. I saw a t shirt with Jerry Garcia on it and it looked cool, so I asked who it was, and the lady at the cash register told me it was the singer to Grateful Dead. I went home that night and discovered their beautiful music. My life changed forever that day. I'm very grateful that destiny has led me to that moment so I could discover The Grateful Dead.

      I was on an American merchant ship at sea when Jerry Garcia died. When we got the word by High Seas radio, I can tell you, things got quiet and somber. Lots of guys were from San Francisco, plus guys from Sailors Union of the Pacific, where Jerry shipped out once (Ship of Fools). Jerry's mom had that restaurant down the street from the Union hall, and got the SUP guys to ship Jerry out. One trip to sea was enough for Jerry Garcia.

      My next youngest brother, Stan, consummate Dead Head in the day, got to 96 shows before Jerry died, was going for 100 and then was going to retire; he turned me onto the Dead. He liked to say pinochle, so "quintessence and pinochle" (intentional warpage; he did that all the time). I would refer to myself as a (big) Dead fan, not Dead head. I got to four shows [busted going to a fifth; for another time]. So I said, Well, hells bells, I'll donate my four and you can have 100. He said, No, we're bros. TOGETHER, we got to 100 shows! Sure, works for me. ; - ). This is one classic medley, one of their best.

      I have to agree with you. The Dead in 1972 were at the height of their musical prowess. That is not to say they suddenly dropped off after 1972.
      It is just that they were so tight and crisp
      in 1972.

The Grateful Dead started as part of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters experiment which combined large groups of people, pharmaceutical grade psychedelics, (which were legal and very good), and the Dead jamming out and tripping balls. too. I never got the chance to see them live, but I have played music for people and know the rush of really connecting with a crowd,. I can barely imagine how intense and spiritual it could be, with everyone tripping.
