I was there in Oakland,Chinese new year,what a show✴
Grateful Dead best version since early 70s
@@cwford3577 smh they didn't play it from 70 to 91...
Dose Buster Owl I like this version better than all of the others they did in the 90s
The Speedway from the film Festival Express, which Hazard released in 4k on TH-cam is one of the greatest things I've ever heard/seen in my short existence..
This is one outrageous recording. If you listen closely you can hear every instrument. Wow is all I have to say.
I know! It's totally amazing!
Yup that’s why they’re the good ol Grateful Dead
You said it all right there!
“ I can hear every instrument”
I’ve really only found that also with Iron Maiden !
Now I’ve listen to both my entire life only difference is I’ve been to 14 Grateful Dead shows up to 92. A couple the dead shows after. One. Iron Maiden show in 83 so there’s that and of course I don’t listen to much of IM records after the 4th or 5th I can’t remember they have great live shows too. But they’re big two in 80’s are just as instrumental just different.
Anyway point is these two are the same in respect to your statement. I love them both. But I only learn music musical history and lineage of so many different types of songs and genre from one of them take a guess lol. Ol Jerry really turned me on two more music and artists than I can remember.
@@johnconroy8323 Nice, Maiden was one of my favorite bands a lifetime ago. I saw the Powerslave tour at Irvine in 1987. To this day one of my top 5 shows. I saw the Dead over 60 times. Over 500 concerts all together. I will have to see if I still have any of my Maiden CDs around and give them a listen. Hallowed be thy name.
Phil sounds great.
Totally!
This song remains so relevant today, maybe even more so.
Ebb & Flow
Liz Spend a lil time on a Mountain spend a little time at a Show . . . .
It was so on it's face they felt weird about it considering their usual cryptic nature. Altamonte was fucked up tho, emotions ran hot
Its actually still pretty vague, with no real obvious references to Altamont. Other than the timing of its release and the fact they told people it was a reaction to it.
I know it says the line "in the heat of the night a man died in cold" but even that is fairly standard for Grateful Dead lyrics. Death, Gambling, Roses
Truth
You are missed brother jerry
so dearly missed
And brother Brent.
very much
It's such a great song. Passage of time makes this song more relevant than ever.
in the remaining years after Brent passed, this is the kind of moment I lived for at GD shows. sure, it wasn't the band at their prime, but it was still good ol grateful dead. I was at that Oakland Col show in Feb. never missed a NorCal show since fall '86. forever grateful.
Was right there with ya Bruce. Usually 20' FOB center. Started in 70 off for a bit, I jumped back on the bus in '84 after a few year haitus and caught 90% of B.A. and Sacto shows. Up close, witnessed it all, the rise in popularity, building of Shorline, the coma (voided 102 BB seats@ cancelled shorlines!), the recoup, the loss, the first P&F show at BCT and the last Shorlines...so many roads. One way or another, we knew it wouldn't last forever.
but sometimes we just didn't want to think about that end. Even my vision during a show on summer 95 I pushed out of mind best I could. I did not think it was Jerry that was leaving as he always seemed to survive and had just had half of 92 off and returned in 93 looking better. by 95 I hardly watched the stage or monitors anymore and stayed back or moved around so totally didn't see the slow decline...could hear it on tapes but every show sounded great at the time.
Hey Bruce im on east coast Canada dont see the boys up this way to much but have seen in Boston a few times , Bring back the New Guy , Dead till im dead.
The shows with Hornsby and Vince were some of my favorites. Big Hornsby fan here. Probably the only time an accordion accompanied Jerry and the boys.
Yep, I was at this one. The highlight of the show.
RIP Brent. We terribly missed you after your passing. 😭
Hints of '69-70 at about the 2:00 minute mark but couldn't quite access those riffs. Such a nice swing he gets from the boys, and in his turn Bruce carries the load much to Jerrys delight. In his plaintive voice taking us out Jerry embodies a place in the pantheon of all great Bluesmen with a love for R&B.
"Now I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold, Other hand I have heard it said, It's just as hard with the weight of lead" One of my Favorite Dead tunes, the Dead have so many tunes to Love tho !!!!!! #GiantsStadium 💀⚡✌🏼❤😁🌷🎶😀☀🕊🌈
I was there this concert was incredible it was an awesome time the grateful dead waa such an awesome band Jerry will always be missed greatly ❤️
What an awesome rendition of an awesome song.
Nothing better than Jerry with a bluesy backbeat behind him imo. This was always one of my favorites.
How the hell did they go 21 years without playing this song????
They forgot
It probably reminded them of Altamont, riots, and the gate crashing the occurred on their 1970 train tour.seen in Festival Exprees. the song is about the darkness and trouble present during the last gasps of the 60s hippy movement. They were dark days, people were anxious to move on and leave the darkness behind. I think this song was so wrapped up in the implications of the era, they decided to shelf it or just had no urge to revisit it.
They even dropped the happy go lucky hippy tunes that didn't have the dark implications (cosmic charlie, doin that rag). I think they just moved on.
it spent a little time on the..
@@raygunner2437 I believe, that song was written as a Weir/Barlow piece that is their way of coming to an understanding of self destructive behavior. Weir was very healthy during this era and Jerry was attempting to give his body a break from opioid addiction.
One way or another! Hell,s bells "Workman"s Dead" This came out on my b-day ! June 14, 1970 @13 did not know until later!
One of my last shows w/ Jerry. Great show…..but they were all great in a different way.
One of the best Dead ever,ever,ever...
An iconic blues classic, where Jerry's vocals infused into my body and mind's musical receptors, I could feel his soul and emotions on my very first listen to the Workingman's Dead studio version as an 11 yr old. It took 49 years before I learned the song was written about the Altamont Festival. 60 years old now, and I'm still getting surprised and amazed with little nuggets of treasured information and hearing new things in the music; like getting surprised with special gifts on Christmas morning! Ah, the dead - never cease to amaze me, and I just know the gifts will keep on coming and never stop!
One of their funkiest tunes . Gotta love Phil’s hot bass ! They were in stride on this tour .kinda has that cool Pink panther ,with an extra hop in his step 😃✌🏾♥️
When Jerry cuts in at the 1:30 mark...it’s like his guitar slices into my very soul and makes everything alright. ✌🏻&❤️
Greetings from Germany ..I Looove how the Grateful dead are plug and play !!! I mean in a fucking cool way !! My First show was 1979 ...I still party like its 79 LOL ...my choice :) Goood God the Shrooms and candy ( LSD) was out of this world ...and my mind is still grooving ... JERRY !!!
My fave live version of this song
Absolutely underrated show. The Dark Star theme was everywhere that night.
IWT. Probably my best show, though Rich Stadium '90 is a close contender. One of the positives of the pandemic is that this show has gotten a lot of love on Sirius, online, etc.
@@blake46long this was hands down my favorite show out of the 124 I saw, and I was also at that rich stadium show too
Í don't believe it was underrated at all. Just the opposite! Stands out and known for being such a solid show! I was there both nights enjoying super hot performances! They were most definitely on!
@@chillpillification I hear you - though it's probably now overrated as so many shows are that are well documented by video or audio are. 7/7/89 is not an all-time show. But it has been so widely available by best in class audio and video that the opinion of it has been swollen.
Without a doubt one of the best Garcia & hunter penned tunes the dead ever did, Jerry always played N.S.B. w/so much hart , soul & conviction, ain't it funny how the time flies& the wheel keeps turning coming around &around, peace to all
This song is awesome and so true for the world now.
Was right up front for this. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jerry Christmas morning, Dec. 25, 2023. Awesome!
This song is timeless, in that it always feels timely regardless of what's happening at the moment.
Coolest song ever.
I was here…great show…lunar eclipse after the show…ahhh, good times
One of my favorite dead tunes. Thanks for the upload
I think the world could really use these words now. one way or another this darkness has got to give
Awesome ❤️
What a Shame they never played this Brent… Vince’s playing and Voice Uggggg!
3/17/91 was the bust out of this song. Again, w/ Bruce. In fact, that whole four day run is fucking phenomenal! Check out 3/21/91 for the Stir it Up Jam coming out of Scarlett/Fire. What a band!
Loved the Giants Stadium Shows 🤙🤙🤙🤙✌️💯
I Friggen Love This Tune⚘️⚘️⚘️
I always work out in my garage playing the dead , 2 or 3 songs and the work out is over!! Songs be like 15 -20 min. Long !!
incredible spatial clarity on the mix
Great tune.
Two drummers and two keyboardists? Who else ever did that? I love the Grateful Dead! (~);-}
King Crimson , has 3 drummers & 2 keyboardists.
Doobie Brothers had two drummers. A few other bands too. Don't know about two keyboardists, but they had horns. Still, no band like the Grateful Dead.
Mars Volta.
Allman Brothers did as well. Although I prefer Dead era with just Billy on drums
Miles Davis
This was such a cool 91 show ⚡️
Saw this in Atlanta 3/30/94. The audience exploded with cheers and everyone was dancing. Great moment and one big memory from that night.
Yes please I need more
Several weeks ago, my honey and I drove Trail Ridge Road to the top of Rocky Mountain National Park. We spent a little time on the mountain....
Amazing! ❤
This darkness got to give. Yes it certainly does. Even more so today! Find The Light, 'cause it's gonna get really, really dark. Think this is dark? We ain't seen nothin' yet!
I was thinking the same thing while listening to this.
So true I wish it weren't but spot on!
Just a little light
Maranatha
Happy Birthday Papa Bear
Tune, love it
I do remember general admission on the floor.The big blue wall..Great day
Love Bruce on this!
Was here for this show. Thanks for posting!
Wonderful show. Thank you
Miss you JERRY....
I was at this show! With 5 or so friends. It was great! Much marijuana smoke was in the air The crazy riffs are awesome!
Saw a ‘61 vw bus this morning with deadhead stickers on the windows. A young kid was driving, said his dad had followed since his age. I smiled, showed him my stealie tattoo and said he had a good dad, and he thoroughly agreed. Deadheads . They have always talked shit, but we are still going down the road
"Dont post a comment if ya dont have nothing new to say Haha "love this song such a good vibe on this one ✌
Thanks Brendan, for helping me remember the venue, Oxford Plains, right! Good memory.
Fuckin amazing jam right here, new Speedway Boogie has always been one of my favorites, i like to play mu harmonica to it, real bluesy
Enjoy the ew speedway boogie fucking awesome
Great clarity!
I was at the oaktown return of new speedway the energy was snap crackle and poppin- good ole grateful dead one of my favorite dead tripping ballz sing along choruses "one way or another this darkness got to give"......
Added to my wake up playlist.
thank you , peace
excellent.
I was at this show 👍✌️
Upbeat and lively for sure.
I grew up in Northwest Jersey I never missed a show.I remember as a kid going to New York and you could see the Red Hot Chili Peppers Bob Dylan Allman Brothers or the dead in one weekend good times
My fav version
Chilling...
Timeless
Truly love this song, all versions, this Jerry version, the latest Dead & Co. with Bob singing, I found a 1970 version with Pigpen on harp but the video is awful. 1970... go figure ha. Thanks for sharing it!
Yeah pretty sure I wore out the tape watching it on utube sorry, also my phone about to run outta ink so I have to stop texting.
Seriously yes I’ve seen it too. Love pigpen shit!
If I'm Vince Welnick and I suddenly find myself playing in the Grateful Dead because I can sing high harmonies, I would be holding back in my playing a lot more.
Song of the day.
Awesome ,
I dont know why, but that‘s my favorite version of Speedway Boogie. I think it has something to do with Jerrys emotional state.. It sounds authentic. I mean, it somehow really sounds authentic. Thats all..Haha. ☺️🤚
I saw 4 or 5 Dead shows summer 91' & for me that New Speedway was highlight of my summer and maybe the high water mark for me in the post Brent Mydland era. Jerry and the boys were the only reason I'd leave my small town in Northern New England and go to New Jersey. Place is concrete waistland with security that were known as some of the worst on the east coast!
I met my wife at this show!
My favorite song I’ve seen thousands of shows
This darkness got to give...
One way or another
He forgot the lyrics.. hahaha! I always get them mixed up right there too..
They grooved so hard n ‘91. F❤️ck yeah Jerry and Rosebud gleaming
That look from Bruce a couple times: “I’m actually playing with the fuckin DEAD!”
My 2020 anthem.
Let's hear it for Bruce Hornsby the unofficial 6th member of the Grateful Dead!!
I saw the tour he & the Range opened for the Dead. Brent passed & Bruce stepped up nicely. The Buckeye Lake show, with Violent Femmes opening, Bruce & Vince both played. Bruce's tinkling ivories really fit the Dead's old timey-esque sound on so many songs. I hated seeing Keith go, & being replaced by Brent. But Brent Mydland's sound belonged. Saw Brent's last show @Tinley Park, hated seeing him depart as well. But Bruce really put his heart & soul into his time with the band. Lot of transitions with the band since PigPen passed... but each emanation has been special & unique, & a blessing to so many whose lives were touched by the music.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one behind the reintroduction of this song. He was always pushing them to try new things, he was like a fan himself.
For example I heard him in an interview say he was always pushing for a first set Dark Star..He wanted to see them get weird right away, in the first set! Start the jams EARLY! But they were always like "we cant do THAT, that's a second set tune!" They had their formula for how the show should flow. But Bruce was always up for something new and interesting. He pushed some of those jams to new heights.
@@kevinr.3542 Yeah Kevin, I saw an interview with Bruce Hornsby a while back and we said that in college he saw his first Dead show and was hooked ever since. Bruce said that he still couldn't believe that he got too play with Jerry and the Boys. It was like he was living a dream come true.
I got to see Bruce in the late 90's in a little theater in my home town and the Man was talking requests from the audience it was great. Someone even wrote out the lyrics to Tangled up in blue. Good Times.
BBBBRRRRUUUUCCCCEEE!!!!!...........
you mean 7th, right?
bobby is on fire for this show
i love that, just like me, Jerry could never get the order of the verses right on this
Having trouble remembering a certain venue, hoping someone out there can help me. It was a show I'm thinking Maine, or N.H, around late eighties, at an old race track? It was so long ago, great show, did a great West L.A. Fade away. Some old raceway? Ah! It's right there!
Oxford Plains Speedway
July 2nd, 1988
rest in peace Vince
"... one way or another, this darkness has got to give..."
That was The night the Hells Angles had the seats Vacated around Me an Valerie.
Right after Brown eyed Women. During which I had excused myself for the restroom. On the way back I obliged a larger blonde older woman to dance with on the way back to my seat.
It was a harmless very umm happy dance.
Apperantly that lady s other half was on stage!
I kept to my seating for rest of the show!
I was there
Jam
Now I love all the covers, so many now, they are cannon. But the boys just drip nectar like a ripe peach, or when ever Jerry went to kona, like a ripe mango. Sweet sweet nectar ripening in the sun.
I know they released this show on cd, but was this released on DVD? 🤔
THE SPIRIT OF JERRY BE WITH YOU
One Way or another Man
spent a little time on the mountain
I got miracled into this show and the guy that gave me a ticket, hucked a backpack full of Heineken and mushrooms to me on the mezzanine.
Damn this was sweet ! Man the Grateful Dead made me believe that anything is possible, anything ! I was walking on water back then ! Thought I was Moses & shit... Best time of my life, 84'- 95'!
Far out, man. :-)
Thought I was Moses and shit! Fantastic buddy, love The self awareness in that comment! Enjoy The rest of life friend, Im trying to. Theres alot of, dare I say, substitutes playing alot of good GD these days. Of course not The Real thing, but still have The ability to mąkę most any fan smile, smile, smile!
@@baileyfurio2327 True. All true. At least we have all this GD media at our disposal these daze. I wish Jerry was still here and that 'The Real' you mentioned never took a bad trip but that's life. I really dig that openish style of all things GD has become. The material is EVERYWHERE now. Some people may disagree though.
Weren't here for 1966 to 1971? Too bad...
Glenn Franzen you dont gotta rub it in, would definitely add 20 years to my life to have seen them years, especially 73, thats MY year! Lucky bastard!
Wasn't this song written in response to the Altamonte experience with the Stones and Hells Angels ? The Stones still sounded great admist the chaos.
Yes it was
It was written in response to an article that was written that was critical of Altamont and saw it as the death of hippy. So Hunter read the article and wrote the song, saying that nothing was dead, it was up to each of us to do right by others. Altamont was an old race track so that's what New Speedway Boogie is in reference to.
♥♥♥
Well of course we all love Jerry, and it's not necessarily a competition, but not seeing Brent on keys hits the hardest
