    Love this tune so much. I will always remember when the audience would hear the chords and we’d kind of make a happy sigh...all’s right with the world.

    No matter how much time has passed, or how much older I get...the waves of joy just flow over me...memories of the shows...the love, the experience...it is sorely missed, but not forgotten

    Just got into the Grateful Dead. Wow, what have I been missing out on! Damn what a good band!

    Of all the songs in the Dead's canon, this song somehow warms my heart the most. I think it was intentionally written as an anthem and it always makes me feel better. I remember hearing it for the first time in August 1970 on the first album that the Dead worked hard on their vocals. It showed, we loved it, and 42 years later, it is still being sung and still warming hearts. Long live the Grateful Dead!

      absolutely .. for a more anthem-like version check out 12/30/70 winterland .. was included on the expanded version of workingman's dead ...

    Such a simple, profound song that is great in every way. Thanks good ol' Grateful Dead. Love Brent's harmonies, and Jerry is magic. I want to remember that good place they go to, and take it with me wherever I go.

  • @mynamismudd4883
    @mynamismudd4883 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like the morning sun we come and like the wind we go. Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait. Oh Oh what I want to know,.....Where does the time go? Words to truly live by. Never waste a moment on bad feelings if you can manage it because our lifespand is short. Look at Jerry. He only made it to 52 but the amount of joy and happiness he presided over was way beyond his years on the planet.

  • @davidrubin5453
    @davidrubin5453 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favorite Dead song, since the first time I heard it. It's the spirit of the song and the togetherness it evokes.

  • @jcavilia1
    @jcavilia1 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's a meaningful song in so many ways. It was one of the first Dead songs I learned the guitar chords for, so I could play and sing it for my kids and my siblings' kids. One nephew used to ask me, "play your song, Uncle John."

  • @pizzatherapy
    @pizzatherapy 10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    This takes me back to a much gentler time. I had seen the Dead a number of times before this was recorded and I would see them many more times...Incredible!

      Lucky person you are, I told my wife yesterday it is time we got back to Old School days. Go back to our roots and listen to more Grateful Dead. Brings a smile to our faces!!! Peace from Mississippi 😎✌️

  • @TomMeshanko
    @TomMeshanko 16 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is one of the finest examples of UJB that I have ever heard but definitely the best version that I have ever seen on video. Incredible!!!! Thank you Jerry much.

  • @lebarosky
    @lebarosky 13 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Like to point out that with twice the number of players, The Dead achieve the same degree of precision as Credence. And yet they are improvising all over the place. Truly one of the great bands.

  • @markkelly9540

    I was at this show and a couple more that week. If I remember correctly, they played about a week at Radio City. Just about every night.

    • @ridgemahoney6142

      They played two such runs: in 1980 (definitely) and also in 1981 (I think).

    I wish I could have seen The Greateful Dead with Jerry. I'm 19, and I love them with all my heart. Their studio albums don't even give a close justification of their talent and beauty they express in their music. glad you appreciate their tunes too =]

  • @oldtony100
    @oldtony100 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When I was a kid in the 60's, I heard a few of their songs on the radio and thought, "big deal". Then I went to a show. I' was hooked ever since. I'll lay even odds that most of the people that say "so what" about this band have heard a song like this on the radio and thought the same thing I did originally, but never had the chance to see them play... just like this. Granted, I saw some less-than-stellar shows, but most of the time, that wasn't the case, and on the nights they were on, bingo!

  • @markkelly9540

    Robert Hunter is one of the greatest lyricists around. I love that the good ol' GD included him as part of the band when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

  • @oldtony100
    @oldtony100 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wharf Rat: I just love it when people your age have an understanding for what the band meant to people of all stripes, and I do feel bad you couldn't have had the experience first-hand. But the music will never die, and there is still ample opportu nity for you to enjoy this legendary band. There are also some darn good up and coming rock acts that may give you an oportunity to enjoy a similar experience. All the best, from a 53 year old dinosaur".

  • @sugarhollowdaddy
    @sugarhollowdaddy 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you think I stand alone on this, you haven't been a fan for very long. I first saw this band at age 18 at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in August 1969, I was 10 feet from Pigpen at my next show. The Dead have been the "score" for my entire adult life. There are thousands of us ol' timers out there. There has never been a band like this, and if music is medicine that keeps our souls alive, I stand by my "perspective." If you have a better answer to my question, I am all ears.

    Is there any other single phenomenon in the history of mankind that is any sweeter than life with the Grateful Dead? Whether in 1966 or 2009, this music has been known to save lives and restore lost souls. All I want to know is, "Are you kind?

    I would argue "Imperfection". That's what made the Dead so great; they weren't a machine but an organism. Perfect in their imperfection and cabable of higher highs (and lower lows) than any other band I know of.

    Jerry himself admitted that there were times the GD weren’t at their best. However he also said this became less and less the case as they refined their craft over time and that when the ‘authentic inspiration’ flowed among the players, a certain magic also happened. ‘Ain’t that the truth! What a wonderful synergy of organised noise.

    SOME CLASSIC SHOTS OF JERRY AS WELL AS SOME CLASSIC PLAYING FROM JERRY.RADIO CITY WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST PLACES THAT I EVER SAW THE DEAD PLAY IN,WITH THE BALCONIES AND THE CEILING (WHICH ON THESE NIGHTS WAS VERY,VERY PSYCHEDELIC) AND CASEY JONES ENCORE AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING THEN WALKING THE STREETS OF N.Y.C THEY ARE SOME MEMORIES THAT YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON, BUT I REALLY REALLY MISS THEM.
