My two year old daughter requests 'shugreeee' anytime music comes on. So here we are for the millionth time, tiny toddler dancing in circles in the middle of the floor, smiles all around. Love you Jerry, youre the best.
Jerry's endeavors were endless and every band he was associated with have stunning music works that make me glad to have witnessed. Rip you are still sadly missed brother..
The guy had an ability to make his instruments sing in a way that no one else before or after has been able to do. “Often copied but never duplicated.” I believe that’s how the saying goes. Truly one of a kind.
10/17/74 was my first Dead show. I love seeing these videos. Been a Deadhead since that night. Saw them a bunch a times through the 70's . LOv e' em. The wall of sound is so powerful, the sound so crisp n clear. Jerry was in perfect form, even smiling periodically. And the crowd was cool. And the air smelled sweet. :)
You're right. I was a fanatical fan from '67 to late 70's. Saw them again around '90 and Jerry was definitely showing some wear. Last time I heard them was at Bill Graham Memorial in Golden Gate Park 1991. Was a great performance - they opened with "Hell in A Bucket" which Bobby carried brilliantly. The Dead were backing up many artists that day - John Fogerty's was particularly memorable with "Born on the Boyou". Jerry was gone a couple of years later. Hard to believe that was almost 25 years ago.
clarkewi , i was at that show ! It was a good one for sure. I wish i could have seen them in 67. I love the early stuff. My dad was at all the fillmore and winterland shows. One of my first shows was the weekend at laguna saca race track. And that s when they made the touch of gray video.
Beautiful. Jerry showing absolutely perfect tonal control. Crushes it with a light right hand. This is the band at the height of their powers. Sounds best with one drummer, too. Billy keeps time!
Kevin Donovan met an older guy today, said he used to see the stones in the 70s, but never got into the dead because of its following, damn shame. The Dead have one of the better fanatics, such sweet and loving people. Seems like an attracting point imo but to each his own I guess. Til next time
yeah but its the 2% of heads that are strung out junkies that give us a bad look. no one cares or talks about the 98% of heads that are great people that love the band for its music and not the drugs.
Lolo Yodel nice job on Your music, I lived in the City from the late sixties through the seventies. Always went to the Filmore about three nights a week. Thursday nights was dollar night. Winterland was for bigger concerts, Best one was the Dead on New Years and of course the Band. Thanks for the music.
some sugaree solos got a lil drawn out. this version is slow but right on. Jerry's voice is on fire. Phil's solo is different also. miss you jerry, maybe I'll meet you on the run
I don't think Phil was trying to play a solo. I honestly don't know how Jerry could sing over his meandering bass parts sometimes, at least on a slow pretty tune like this.
A riff so hypnotic you could play all night, but vocals that brighten it and it takes ya to church. Piano could have so intruded, but stayed laid down til last second, which is genius.
Never understood the lyrics but always dug the groove. This one found a gentle deep groove. Nice to go to sleep with......or wake up to for that mater.
Now where talking. Just watched Mayer's cover with Dead and Co. Here's Jerry. I miss these shows. I was 2 when this was shot, but at 14, I was a little deadhead and it was love. Every one called me little pru. A special place in my heart for Jerry and those good ole days.
This is the song that hooked me...1976..age 18. I came late to the game but saw the Dead live a few times (Chicago/Phoenix). Amusing anecdote: Early '80's concert at Compton Terrace/Phoenix...almost front row. Weir repeatedly screwed up the lyrics to Truckin' and Sugar Magnolia. Jerry peered over his glasses at Bobby with a sheepish grin mouthing the words "WTF?" Bobby did his hang dog Elvis bit look and recovered. Cool interaction no animosity..screwing up was part of the grateful dead concert experience. Jerry is always set apart but I heard it said by musical scholars that Phil Lesh is actually the most skilled and technically accomplished musician in the band. How true: take his base out and the songs lose their rhythmic flow. Underrated dude...
Beautiful version. Love Jerry's vocals. But check out the intro then skip ahead to the middle or the end. Starts out peppy then the tempo almost comes to a grinding halt by the end. It's like the whole band is on a slow motion nod - LOL.
Everyone knows that Strap was actually Phil's Pet Chinchilla that use to chill with Phil at the shows. Until the arrival of Jerry's Travis Bean guitar, which the Chinchilla did not like and at that point he stopped chilling on stage with the band. haha!!
Joe Lev I would have given my right arm and left foot to have been at this concert! Had to wait and catch them in the 80's. They were still awesome but I would have much rather seen them in the late 60's & 70's. I was born 20yrs too late.
This and other performances in their later years show the effect of Jerry's 20-year addiction which really was the disguise to his claim that they didn't need to rehearse.

The kid knows good music 🥰
This is beautiful, god bless your little girl!
That is so beautiful!
Fantastic! You need to record and post that, heads would love it. ✌
Thankfully The Dead encouraged the audience to record their shows and now there is a treasure trove available to keep them alive.
Heaven should be an infinite Grateful Dead concert
univibe23 Earth is the only place they played. Glad I got to see them 70 times. Plus Heaven’s RaiL would be taken by Jesus snd his Agents.
Good fucking comment
I second that.
Yeah, or an infinite orgasm, huh?
Actually I think it is something like that.
I was at this show ! All nice and cozy warm in my mothers womb. I was a grooving to the tunes .
GD is womblike when like, well, everything. Welcome friend.
awesome!

Spot on man.

I do so so very much miss these days
Young Jerry with the pipes. A real treasure
Ya mon .
He could really sing great in the 70's
It's a shame what opioids do to the body. He was brilliant on the 70s
Fare thee well, Robert Hunter! Your words gave us warmth in our souls
This is an awesome version of Sugaree. SUgaree has also got to be one of my favorite Garcia songs ever. Much
Love this song. It reminds me of my college days. That does not need to end!
Live this version. His voice and guitar playing are flawlessly sweet. Brings a tear to my eye!

If a time machine existed, this video is the closest thing to one. Cheers sir. 🎵🎵
25 years ago today we lost Jerry. Gone but never forgotten. My mom's favorite song. Love you Jerry, miss you Momma...
How could you possibly dislike this. Seems like 69 some odd folks are missing something.
Jerry's voice and guitar playing are absolutely awesome here....
This was their peak. The Kieth and Donna period.
clarkewi , they had a few peaks.

Michael Dorman You right amigo 🇲🇽

I love this video...I've watched it everyday for a week. I am 54 yrs old and I get the Grateful Dead!!!

I'm 64 and have seen/listened to the Dead since 1970...
Why stop at just a week, Kevin?
@@dylancreighton6275 That's Right On!! That's what Bob always said. They didn't want to be recognized for the bad element!!
I think this is the best version of this song. Smooth as butter.
I fell into a trance listening to this. ..Man, that was good.
I'm so happy footage from the early seventies exists.. This is so awesome .
So sweetly sung.
Isn’t it? At moments very haunting & the longing in Jerry’s voice ⭐️
We was there, twenty four years old. Having a high time living the good life !
Forever Grateful :)
jerry really gets to show off his pipes in this. awesome song

Jerry was so friggin soulfull!! Talented of course!
Man, I miss going to shows!! Summer tour should be in full swing....
what an outstanding recording..one of best i have heard/seen
A moment of beauty........thank you
so grateful for these videos in color. one of my favorite dead tunes actually the one that got me on the bus!
An almost mournful Sugaree here, understated at a minimum. These Winterland shows were the best!
The good old days.
Simply pure and amazing ... shake it shake my darling sugaree
Billy's drumming is such a big part of their sound.
Truly is
oh please, billy needed mickey to finish a concert lol. both of them sucked
@@billgrace681 Maybe not all that when it comes to technical playing, however in the context of the dead Billy shined through. Mickey too
All great drum bums in all the top bands go a long way in making them great often underrated
@@billgrace681 Sorry, i dont speak english well. But, why you say that? not a lot of drummers can have a musical conversation for 3 hours
I love when Phil does that descending run on the last verse...
This is like fucking GOLD watching this 40 years later. I mean I got this playing on my flat screen 40 years later. Who woulda thought 💀
The Dead and good old Winterland, good times of course You can't forget The Fillmore.
some sugaree solos got a lil drawn out. this version is slow but right on. Jerry's voice is on fire. Phil's solo is different also. miss you jerry, maybe I'll meet you on the run

th-cam.com/video/mnA51p0_mUU/w-d-xo.html Silky smooth
Phil was really doing some thangz on this. 😄
The Dead and the Winterland concerts of '74. I went one of the nights they performed, a lifetime ago.
Me too!
A lifetime ago? You mean just a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago?
A riff so hypnotic you could play all night, but vocals that brighten it and it takes ya to church. Piano could have so intruded, but stayed laid down til last second, which is genius.
wow!! the dead- thanx
for all the great memories- this was just one-I feel truly
blessed - thanx for making me feel good!!!
😆😆😆😆
The Dead always make me smile, smile, smile : )
My first concert, age 15-thanks you 3 Eyed Bear-"take what you want, but don't take too much"
Rest in peace, Jerry. You live on in our hearts and your music.
So Beautiful
totally rockin on with sugar-ree! lookin great everyone and truckin on back in the day!
Jerry's voice sounds so sweet here.
yes it is.
I really like this performance. It's laid-back, and Jerry is in good form.
That is so awesome,RIP jerry
This song should never end✌️🌹✌️
This is great and thx for posting- good sounds
Found the dead late in my life I need a time machine cuz I need to see them at full tilt
Hot dang it! This is amazing.
Never understood the lyrics but always dug the groove. This one found a gentle deep groove. Nice to go to sleep with......or wake up to for that mater.
It's about a prostitute.
Its about whatever you want it to be. Thats the beauty of hunters lyrics.
@@stunomial The perfect answer!!

Yeah! bitter- sweet goodness
Shake, Shake, Shake it Sugaree....................

Happy 80th, Phil ❤️
Miss and love you, Jerry!
Thanks for posting this. Amazing video! Great performance! A++
My god that man was beautiful.
2018 and I'm still here
Garcia never got enough credit for his voice.
Saw the Dead there a lot; Post and Steiner, had that frozen in my brain.

yup
Yep yep
I was being born at this very moment in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania lol...
Have to say' 74 is my favorite live Dead. The we're on
MISSED - NOT FORGOTTEN
Fabulous
very cool !!!
Great Voice
Beautiful version. Love Jerry's vocals. But check out the intro then skip ahead to the middle or the end. Starts out peppy then the tempo almost comes to a grinding halt by the end. It's like the whole band is on a slow motion nod - LOL.
Lol
Short guitar solos and slow as a glacier, but this is a beautiful version.
Phil's strap looks amazingly comfortable:)
hahaha I was thinking the same thing
Considering all the hardware he had in his bass at the time (The Wall of Sound era), the Guild Starfire had to be pretty heavy
Everyone knows that Strap was actually Phil's Pet Chinchilla that use to chill with Phil at the shows. Until the arrival of Jerry's Travis Bean guitar, which the Chinchilla did not like and at that point he stopped chilling on stage with the band. haha!!

I was there.
Joe Lev I would have given my right arm and left foot to have been at this concert! Had to wait and catch them in the 80's. They were still awesome but I would have much rather seen them in the late 60's & 70's. I was born 20yrs too late.
Lucky bastard
You're a lucky ass soul. You spent your money wisely
Stop rubbing it in !!!
Hellberg exe and time wisely
Awesome!
Seriusly....just don't tell them that you know me
Jerry 🌹💀🍄🤘
Oh man, Jerry's voice sounds sooooo f in good!!!!
Bret Schwartz yes indeed
Yes!!
Beauty
Love it!
Sweet angel voice of Jerry
WOW!
Ahh yes, the Dead and Winterland.... here's to u, Marc, Preston, and R
T 🍻
This and other performances in their later years show the effect of Jerry's 20-year addiction which really was the disguise to his claim that they didn't need to rehearse.
💯❤️💯❤️💯
Winterland rocked, love this
Bob sounds awesome here!
I'm upset I was only 3 months old when this was performed.
Bill ..The man.
RIP Jerry 💔 August 9
The 1.6 mil guitar wolf..
any of yall dead fans know the best one to look at for jerry's best solo for this song?
#thankyoujerry
SWEET!!!!
This is the Jerry/Dead I remember..
As a fellow diabetic, I understand Jerry's sadness in this song.
Crazy
They could have looped the first 25 sec of the song and it would still be great!!!
