In truth, what makes this, and the other May of '77 Dead shows so friggin' great is Betty Cantor-Jackson. This show is not even in the Dead vault and this, her copy, is the reason we have this insanely good soundboard.
ANYONE THAT THINKS JERRY AINT THE HEART AND SOUL OF ALL THIS MADNESS IS CRAZY. no matter what there is no other band that can hold a stick to any of their music
+Philip Williams well, I'm a big deadhead, and went to a lot of shows, but let's be honest here--this song, on this date, is the best they have to offer. There is a lot of crap out there too.
Never been to a dead show, I'm only 25, but i burnt my breakfast grooving to this in the kitchen while scrambling some eggs Guess im dancing to the cornerstore
Jerry songwriting live...hearing a groove in his head and executing it to near perfection with a band that supported his genius better than any band in history. This is so good...Jerry just channeling and becoming the music that came from his soul. Dead at their best....Thanks Jer..
@@justinkagan6222 I was referencing the improvisational capacity of Jerry here. Hearing a jam in his head and making it happen.. lol.I know it is a cover but I thought it was a Van Halen cover..JK! I did not know who originally wrote it so thanks for the info!
"They certainly did make it their own." - stoned out Converge fan friend of mine from Worcester back in college. More than once. This will win anyone with a pair of ears over.
I was just watching the video of Jagger and Bowie's cover of this song. I had to come and listen to the Dead's version, so I could get my ears back to normal.😁
This is great - as is the Pembroke Pines FL '77 Dick's Picks Vol 3 . The groove jam starting at about 4:05 here sends you all sorts of directions. See ya in the streets!
Absolutely. This recording contains the finest example of Bobby's genius, perhaps rivaled only by his rhythm solos in the 8/6/71 "Hard to Handle," 1/2/70 "Mason's Children," and "The Eleven" from Live/Dead. You should check out all of these amazing Bobby moments.
Jerry I went to take a shit a second ago and didn't have any toilet paper. then I found this TH-cam video. and i wiped my ass with it. problem is, this video is shit too. so I wasn't sure what was what.
Lots of people cap on Grateful Dead and rightfully so I guess... Most of these people love their classic rock but they just can't or don't "get" The Dead.... Maybe It takes a particular ear or having grown up to it, or as in my case, a specific incident to turn a person on to the magic of their music... One of the 'gratest' things about this band was the way their sound changed over the years... Sometimes the music doesn't even sound like the same band whatsoever... Take this song for example... Listen to this version a couple 'dozin' times and then listen to the same song from Binghamton, 2 May, 1970 and at times I swear it sounds like a band from a different planet... Both versions are the same song by the same band (+/- three band members) but they are both completely different arrangements and both are absolutely stellar! How did you get into the dead's music? I was taken in 1983, at age 14, by an older neighbor to a Dead Show, at the time only knowing that GD was a band that had an album: "Skeletons From The Closet"... He kept telling me how much fun it would be... Well it was not at all what I expected and I thought the people there were really weird but I had a good time nevertheless... However, it would be a couple more years until I actually "GOT IT"... I was at another deadhead friend's house and we were taking bong hits when she popped in a tape of 5-9-77 and music never stopped came on first... she then left the room to take a call leaving just me with the band... And from that night on, my life's course would forever be changed... I feel so fortunate to have had the final 10 years of memories to cherish forever... Thank You Jerry Et al...
Sorry but this jam alone does in fact make 5/8/77 more than just a really good show that had great sound quality. Or a show inferior to some of those around it. Peeeeeshaw. This is indescribably good. Weir and Jerry finishing each others' chords on those twin takedowns is crazy. At 7:02 Billy says 'Let's go' and they're really off.
if this doesnt make you move your feet, you should turn em back in to the nearest groove authority, because theres a kid somewhere out there that needs em more than you.
This was at the peek of the Disco Era....Everybody couldn’t stop dancing.💃👯♀️💃🕺👯♂️🕺......Bill once said he danced at every GD show ever!.....Charlie Watts could say the same about the Stones!💃💃💃💃💃💃
The original was back in 1966 and one of the best versions is the 5/6/1970 at Kresge Plaza at MIT (I think that's the date). Different but equally great.
This is a pretty good jam.. I have the studio version on Terrapin Station but never heard this one before.. This is one of the GREAT things of the 21st Century, so easy to listen to high quality bootleg Dead that people forgot what it was like before.
This version has been "fixed" a bit, 'cause in it's original take, Weir comes in too soon and they have to play a couple bars longer to get back into it. Still, it's a great song till the very end, TY for posting it, whoever you are ...
coo kie no phil is dominating but i think keith billy micky and as usual jerry are all just fucking killing it hell even donna sounds outstanding and you can't forget about bobby even with the one screw up at the start with the vocals the whole performance IS TIGHT AS FUCK.
coo kie no..its not just you friend..Phil is most definitely killing it on the bass..everytime I listen to this version of "DITS" I understand why many consider this show as the pinnacle of the Dead..fkn smokin' ♩🎸🏃💃♩🎶
I love you guys. I need only spend 5 seconds pokin around hendrix or clapton videos and everyone argues over who can do it better, and there are loads of dislikes. I come to dead videos and everyone's so positive and enthusiastic, and rarely dislikes. Don't tell me this town aint got no heart
16 Shows ..Jerry is MY GOD ..My 1st Show was 1979 ..NY .I was 18 ..my older Sister and her Biker CLUB took me with my 16 yr old GF ..Hi KIM :) Now I am 61 ..still partying with Jerry.....Jerry and I are better than Vampires ! Althea told me .....
not sure what it is about it but that little section around 12:50 is just super pleasurable. I'm not a huge dead head- not yet anyway- but this show and this jam is pretty hard to beat.
Start at 12:00 to get ready, then at 12:45 to the end for me, hang on cause that to me is where you really feel everything getting throw out there to you

Betty Boards
In truth, this sucks.

I love Bobby's beautiful false start.
He has a few of those
Me too... when I turn people on to this I always explain it to them first. lol
Jerry at the top of his game. Doesn't get much better. The Dead embrace and destroy disco at the same time.
Never been to a dead show, I'm only 25, but i burnt my breakfast grooving to this in the kitchen while scrambling some eggs

Egg time!

They take you on a trip and bring you back.
Except that it was originally Martha and the Vandellas song...but agree with the rest.

I never, ever heard anything even half as good....he blew it up that night!!
@@christopherjohnson1803 Try listening to the Music Never Stopped from Buffalo the next night. Absolutely awesome jam too!
My favorite live recording of all time, always gets me grooving
Jerry is throwing lighting bolts that would make Zeus blush.
the energy coming out of the jam is amazing. its dirty, quick, sharp, and above all FUN
JERRY GARCIA - Thank you for this jam.
What a surreal jam...just goes on and on. So awesome.
I was at this concert and loved it but didn’t realize until so many years later how truly exceptional it was.
Same here.
Lucky You!!!
WOW!! Bob and Donna are on fire with their vocals and Jerry takes us on a journey of epic proportions.
I could listen to this for hours.
Wow.... did the boys find the sweet spot on this jam!
EVERYONE was on board this train!
I think this is the best 70s Dancin' they ever did.
"They certainly did make it their own." - stoned out Converge fan friend of mine from Worcester back in college. More than once. This will win anyone with a pair of ears over.
This is the only Grateful Dead performance I have heard where I feel Donna was an indispensable part of the sound.
Holy guacamole!! The master lays it down. Simply the greatest musician in earth's history. Nobody comes close. What he did, can't be duplicated.
Thank God!
I’m gonna be one day I’m 15 years old
Every 5/8 I have to listen. All day! 💞🎶
This may be one of the All time Dead songs of the 70's era
I was just watching the video of Jagger and Bowie's cover of this song. I had to come and listen to the Dead's version, so I could get my ears back to normal.😁
Big sound, great bass and keyboard lineup!
Love this version.....Its intoxicating to listen to....whether you are or are not...it's just fantastic music once again from the fellas....love it
That's a primal Jerry jam right there.
Unleashing the Hippie Funk!
This is great - as is the Pembroke Pines FL '77 Dick's Picks Vol 3 . The groove jam starting at about 4:05 here sends you all sorts of directions. See ya in the streets!

Classic grateful dead style. Someone messing up lyrics, 10 minute jams, and Donna. Great version of this song.

hahahhah
@@toddbannock2023 you a cardi b girl, Megan thee stallion or more like a cold play style girl?
WOW....that wah wah solo damn near killed me, in a good way!!
ughh.... has another band ever been this good live?
Negative
@@sleestack9831 that little circusy thing me every time.
@@danindeed I've seen alot of live bands but the Dead was family.
Nope😂
Top 5 GD jam in my opinion. It doesn't get better than 8:20-9:00
This is certainly one of my favorites.
This is probably the best version you are ever going to hear of this song. Legendary!
Fuk yeah
Welp this the greatest wah solo I’ve ever heard in my life
was in 11th grade friends dad goes oh you like the dead gifted me a tape he said enjoy 15 yrs later this still my top 3

best performance ever. whole show is phenomenal. idk how many cassette tapes I wore out back in the day listening to this
Awesome. 10 minute jam in A, one chord, straight grooving.
Just danced my face off with my hubby in the kitchen drinking cognac awwwe thank you!
Danielle....I raise my snifter to you...and your idea of a good time. Gettin sore from twistin to evey last foray Jerry takes us on in this GEM!
Phil, Bobby and Jerry are just in some cosmic world on this jam. Floating thru the Milky Way.
If you cant dance to this then im afraid you cannot dance !
Jerry and the gang laying down some Electric Love. Thanks for posting :)
Phil is on it......
+carpo719 Not just Phil the whole band and crew!!!! Even though Bobby messed up!! This show has always been in my top ten head stash!
Bobby;s rhythm work has never been more on point than the 2nd half of this jam
Best version out there.
oh I dont know the StL version from 1977 is pretty pretty smoking, but in a different way I concede:)
Brilliant track

Perfection
Jerry's not dead. He's just taking a short break, he'll be right back.
he's on cosmic holiday
he's taking a trip!
I’ll be waiting at cape Canaveral
Love It! Dead really one of the Best Ever! Especially after Shrooms!!
so groovy
phil lesh said at a phil and friends show at barton hall
welcome to this hallowed hall where the grateful dead played its greatest show
Paul Schupf phil says alotta things
I once listened to this after eating one too many rice krispies and saw jerry floating over jupiter shooting lasers out of his guitar
lol
One of the all time best Dancin's there is...St Louis is another one from this year I think.
baltimore '79 melt yer face
Cape Cod 79 is very good as well
Jerry shooting laser beams at the crowd! 💃
Doesn’t matter what you wear…just as long as you are there!
if this doesnt make you move your feet, you should turn em back in to the nearest groove authority, because theres a kid somewhere out there that needs em more than you.
Phil hitting on all cylinders 💣 🔥. Anyone else hear Bobby jumping his cue? 😂
Beautiful.
Jerry and the gang just laying it down! One of the best, if not THE best, jams ever. Try not to move to this one. Bet you can’t.
Thank you for loading this, It is just all-around awesome work. What fun.
PHIL!!!
This was at the peek of the Disco Era....Everybody couldn’t stop dancing.💃👯♀️💃🕺👯♂️🕺......Bill once said he danced at every GD show ever!.....Charlie Watts could say the same about the Stones!💃💃💃💃💃💃

Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it.
Keith is tearing it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always does
I guess you could say "The Stars Were Aligned."
This version has been "fixed" a bit, 'cause in it's original take, Weir comes in too soon and they have to play a couple bars longer to get back into it. Still, it's a great song till the very end, TY for posting it, whoever you are ...

+caspian yurisich Yep, it's groovin. Funky as hell.
I heard it on the radio this morning and when that part came on I was like "yeaaaah, that's nice"
+caspian yurisich add alittle lsd to the mix
does it get better than this? if it does, i wanna know.
Start at 12:00 to get ready, then at 12:45 to the end for me, hang on cause that to me is where you really feel everything getting throw out there to you
Een gitaarsolo van 10 minuten. Geweldig!
We will now see demonstrated to the people how an old Motown song should in fact be played properly.
Yeah. Dis what's up
I love it, even when Bobby f**ks up 😂😂😂😂
