Bring me back to my younger days I'm 71 years old I still don't know how to say I can't get away from rock and roll thank you for making me young again
❤Ain't no cure for deadheads I'm 73 and forever Dead. I walk 3 miles a day and am still truckin'. My chips are far from csshed in. Houston's still too close to New Orleans. And I still am asking "how does the song go?"
I'm sorry to hear that, my stepdad was a fellow deadhead and when he passed away in June of 22 he left a 19 year old to discover such great music when going through his stepdad's old stuff and finding records and CDs and such
I have had this CD in my car for 13 years! Its the only CD I play! The best time to play it is that first day when the Spring weather comes and you drive down the highway with the windows down and feel the life-giving breeze! So good!
Yeah, I’m a southerner, but moved to Pennsylvania 19 years ago. When Spring arrives, I let a big breath out, happy that I didn’t hang myself in a garage. Several Times the GD took me mentally back to Charlotte and the awesome concerts I got to witness!
For many years I listen to the Dead regularly while working, and I guess it will stay with me forever. It just always gives me a good vibe and makes me feel much better.
Too often it seems ppl listening to this musik get lost in their memories. This music is alive now in this moment. Its not merely a portal to the past but a vibe to dance in the present moment
Some here! I hope you got to see the infamous RFK show. It is said to have been their last great show. And I can luckily say it was freaking incredible.
Down to Norfolk Virginia I went, couldn't get a ticket, partied outside in my 62 VW bug with Alex my dog; listening to my old am car radio the Dead was playing in a minute found out my am radio was picking up the signal straight from the band's sound board. Went home, told Dead head Jimmy Salt about that issue..Jimmy then went to all the concerts and recorded every single gig straight out of the band's sound board, lot of recording took place around the country untill the infamous ICC put and end to it. I discovered the soundboard signal in my 62 VW bug. Great times, wonderful people! God bless!
@cHUCHo458 I have about 100 cassettes stored someplace in my basement from the cassette days but no place to play them anymore. Of course I have a ton on CDs that I listen to but I should have something done with the old school cassettes from the shows I have
On holiday in canaries with a Bluetooth speaker and my phone just watching the waves and listening to the dead what a perfect day. 70 and still loving it
I born in 2002 . My uncle always listen and love classic slow rock, and i always listen with he. Until now i really like classic songs anything! Thanks for making masterpice songs for me.. Grateful i life in this world❤. ' Peace and love from BALI island✌🇮🇩

The Grateful Dead and me, it's a whole love story that started in my late teens: I was reading a Jan Kerouac book (Jack Kerouac's daughter), she was talking briefly about it, a concert she had attended. Of course I read a book, a kind of musical dictionary, the history of rock music and the genres and sub-genres...There was only one small page talking about this band. I was living in the deepest part of the Belgian Ardennes, in the woods (I'm not exaggerating, our first neighbors lived 3 km from our house, we had more deer and wild boars than humans, which I liked a lot). But we regularly went to Ostend, to the coast, the North Sea, Ostend was considered at the end of the 80's as a little New-York, very good bars, very good music, only 3 stores where you could find the best LP's and the first CD's. and a media library with very good beat generation books and LP's, audio cassettes and CD's to borrow. It was during a long weekend in Ostend that I borrowed the best live album I ever heard, the Grateful Dead on tour in '72 (the date of my birth, this record was released on my birthday, November 5, '72) as well as the album "American beauty"! I fell in love with their music! More than 20 years later, I still had the tapes that I had recorded and it was while re-reading another book that I remembered this band which is in my opinion one of the best in the world! In the meantime, there was TH-cam, online articles, I listened to every song, every melody, whether it was by Bob Weir or Jerry, with Hunter's great lyrics, it was true love, their timeless live shows, their gift of improvisation..... I try to make other music fans understand that this band is much more than American Folk! As far as I'm concerned, they are (were) geniuses, I cried the day I heard Jerry passed away! He and Crosby could have done wonderful things together! But here we are, Jerry left us very young, we still have his guitar, his banjo, his voice, Jerry lives on through us, in our hearts!
Nice post, thanks for sharing that. When it comes to the Grateful Dead it is indeed a love story. There's no like with this band, only love...as it should be.
LUCRESE 1 They actually had a few jam sessions together . One can find the sessions on TH-cam. Have you ever listened to Marmalades Reflections of my life? Also is that a real Bangali cat you have or did you catch or rescue a ocelot or baby bobcat 🤔😉
Born July 23 1990. My Dad played touch of grey for me when I was still a kid. I would do anything to see Jerry and the Dead play live. Man what a jam. Where does the time go?
I was never a Dead fan in my early years. Then I watched the two hour special about the band and Jerry. I came away from that program with sadness but came to admire and respect him so very much A very special man who is gone too soon as many other greats He left us with a life long legacy RIP Jerry so full of talent and kindness fir his fellow man and never disappointed his people, his fans and his fellow man The kind of human we should all strive to be. Making things better for people.
Post op appendectomy, 19, living alone. Having to take care of myself alone. Holes in my heart, and in my body. These tunes from the dead are really helping me pull thru.
My first concert & 2nd trip was with the Dead on Nov 13, 1972. I just found that show yesterday on Internet Archive, and listened to it again for the 2nd time in ~52 years. I was turned on back in '72 and am still turned on in 2024! Far out, man. What a long, strange trip it's been Keep on truckin'😎✌️
Crazy back then ud play a cassette rewind it play it I can't imagine the loose pages of lyrics on random papers are in my teenage room . The experience is so different now it breaks my heart my grand child won't experience it. But on the weekend I brought her on a cruise in her stroller with a speaker and my Playlist wash very crazy from the Israelite to some crazy stuff. And she was head banging the whole way. And the streets were pretty just getting into spring. So it was happy. We got candy at every little store we stopped at. And after this cold winter it was sunshine. And of course played grateful dead. So it's cool my little granddaughter has appreciation but it's very cool that doing this made people around us happy . And that's legacy of good music that makes u feel good
I consider myself a music lover. I wrote Grateful Dead off. I mocked their fans. I did this having not knowingly ever heard one track. What compelled me to listen the last 78 mins? A fella I work with, he's a fun dude. We're both pushing 50. He's a Deadhead. So, I suppose respect of him would be the compelling catalyst. Any who, tomorrow I'm gonna tell him Touch Of Grey , Estimated Prophet, The Music Never Stopped, Hell in a Bucket, and Casey Jones are surely for casuals, and they're on my playlist. Crazy that I once had a negative bias toward hippie-types. I blame my ex-wife.
I was you once. I grew up with a ton of Hippie stuff and liked some of it, despised parts of it, but just never got the Dead. One day that changed, I got on the bus and am still on.
How about you don’t blame anyone but yourself , and the next time your criticizing something try asking yourself if you really know anything about it or not? Maybe you need an attitude adjustment Seems you should try to like something if you’ve never encountered it, and try to appreciate it until it proves otherwise that you may not so much care care for it after at least giving it the honest chance of coming alive within one’s self? Give yourself a chance at least to be positive. There’s just no comparison to a live show with Jerry playing❤️
Amazing that in a time when it seemed no two people could agree on anything that tens of thousands would stand elbow to elbow, packed in like sardines in a can to experience a Grateful Dead show ... AMAZING !
And it starts with truckin . I got American Beauty at age of 14 and I was into good rock and roll ever since. Just turned 70 and see that all genre of music has good and bad . I choose the good !!!
i was 35 the day i decided to quit the drugs, and live life on LIFES terms ... I NEVER LOOKED BACK !!! indeed ... what a long strange trip its been !!! Sitting here in the kingdom of hawaii at 55 yrs old, with 20 yrs 6 months under my belt !!! Life is good !!! But by the grace of God as i know him; am i still even here to share my story !!!
The greateful dead is a band in a class all by themselves I get the feeling of a blusy rock sound with a hint of old school black gospel such as help is on the way and waiting for a miracle my first time really fully listening to this awesome group of musicians gave me a new found appreciation and respect for their work and inspired messages like of course eyes of the world a touch of grey franklins tower and the proud fact their from my beloved Bay Area Palo Alto California I’m so dammed proud of that and thanks for the opportunity to comment
This music is absolutely astounding. Rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the instruments, in short a Babylonian sound architecture erected by humbles and impetuous performers-composers
@@MegaCirse you write always the same things about all music uploaded, why? Becouse you're made of nothing. What is your work, master of hodgepodge poems? Yes, you're just a boring balls breaker. Hide yourself, ridicolous man.
I have always been aware of Grateful Dead because who isn't but I haven't done a deep dive until now because I am starting a small tie dye business and felt I had to do my research if I truly wanted to make good tie dye. At 24 years old I will now refer to this time change as my time before and after being a Deadhead.
WOW !!!! Thats awesome !!! mi'kmaq ancestry im " home churched " Music is my church, nature is my church, floating in the waves of paradise is my church good vibes are my creed. and readin scripture as well sunday is the day of rest. aloha from paradise, and God bless !!!
When I was 18 in Albany ny, there was a radio station that had a “bring out your dead” segment every night at 9pm. Three songs every night. Good times.
That's tough. Keep on keeping on. I lost both parents at 27.. I'm from San Rafael Marin county San Francisco California 🍄. I remember Black Peter. .. and it's just like any other day. Cruel and brutal, but true. Long Liv the phawkin Grateful Dead 🍄🌁🌁🌁🍄😊
This album is a nice mix of the hits and the classic jam songs from shows. Could probably use Stagger Lee and China Cat but there are so many songs and only so much room. Great album!
it's amazing that some people hate this band and this music, but the last laugh is that a hundred years from now there will be more bands playing this music than either hip-pop nonsense or even Beatles or Zep or Floyd or whatever--the boys proved themselves to be outside of time and space
I'm 65. When I was in high school, a foreign exchange buddy of mine wanted to see a Grateful Dead concert movie playing at the theater. I'll never forget Jerry Garcia demonstrating how different speakers played depending on the notes he was playing. I've loved their music ever since.
There’s really nothing better than several days of shows, and having your tickets for every one ❤️ And maybe your tickets for the following next few venues Back in the good old days with Jerry and 30,000 tripping Dead Heads! There was no better place on Earth you could be‼️
My whole life I thought the Grateful Dead was a grunge band for some reason. I'm 38. Had an Uber rider recommend them, and holy shit, how did these guys fly under my radar so long?
Something very few Dead Heads even know is that they all had their own groups they had outside of the Dead. And Jerry, bless his heart, recorded origional music for children. He did several albums. Everyone with little ones needs to check them out.
American Beauty came out wen I first started JHS...In 70...Been Digging em Ever Since...Takes me Back to a Much NICER time! Gravesend Bklyn, Mini Bikes, Great Food, Hottt Lookin Babes & ROCK & ROLL....😊
1 friend, 1 acquaintance approached me, summer of '77. bus ride down (from Pennsylvania) to DC, fourth of July Yippie smoke-in, White House. After 3 days of rain and sunshine, living on our wits' end, WE hitchhiked home. the song Truckin' was written for us! I was all of 15.
The Dead was my first concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1977. I was 16 -Then saw them again at the Kingdome in Seattle in 1979. Jerry Garcia throws joints off the stage and being right in front I got to take a toke from a Dead Joint! Hash oil for the first time was enjoyed also and regular $5 gram blonde hash! I had on a denim skirt made from jeans, and a rose wreath on. wish there was cell phones back then... Ahhh the memories
I feel if reincarnation has any validity then I lived in the early and mid 60's. I was born in 74. Think maybe I was at a few good shows of my heros then killed in Nam return as a poor old Scotts Irish feller I am
Dedicated to and in memory of Bill Walton, a fellow UCLA alumni whose recent memorials about his descriptions of some of his experiences with the band and the impact it had on his life, helped me rediscover this magical uplifting music. Bill, you were the greatest Deadhead of them all.
Kids still camp out for entire weekends and see their favorite artists. The fests I went to would blown your mind. 10 main stages, 10 other outside stages, temporary night clubs and strip clubs set up on sight. There's was also 50 campgrounds all connected and you could drive your vehicle right up to your campsite. They had all the biggest comedians there and a magical neon Forrest. There's so much more that I could do this all day. Grateful Dead members were always there even after Jerry passed on. People that went to fests in the 60's and 70's would have their mind blown by what they created has turned into.
The difference is concerts were affordable. I saw Alot of bands for $5-$15. I saw a bunch of well known bands for $15 at Party In The Park at Belmont Park. 1979.
I listen to The Dead alot now & then. Still listening to the best tunes 🎶🎵 Even got to one show & Saw Jerry b4 he left us for the concert in the sky. Love 'em. Great musicians. Love Bobby's shorts too!! 💜
One of the best bands of the 20th century. Each studio album was great but live shows especially with the wall of sound were even better in 1972 & 73. The Watkins Glen NY show and Englishtown NJ show were superb.
I was 16 at Englishtown I'm now 62 I can remember it like yesterday what a show what a experience with so many people & So much Love no one can ever match will ever come 😊😊
Must say never purchased greatest hits cause we always bought the record(s), day of release. Trading tapes of shows the night before, that's where the music is at.
I don't think the elders realize what this evolved into. 100 campgrounds, 30 outdoor main stages, a nightclub on sight, strip club on site, electric forrest, real forrest, all the best comedians and over 100 of the best musical acts around. That was pry late 90's and the early part of the new millennium. Covid slowed it down a little but not much. ✌
You have no idea how much I wish I could’ve man. Gatherings on a commune playing drums and guitars are so so beautiful, but I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been watching The Dead live rather than just jamming some of their tunes out of a 30 year old stereo system out the van lmao
Spent a summer following the Dead tour and a summer following the Phish tour. Best two summers of my life and memories that will be with me till the end.
Im 30 and just recently found out how blessed i am my mom had actual standards and love for music when i was growing up because i tell ya people around my age are sincerely fucked when it comes to their "taste in music" its ridiculous however it occurs to me at this point in the world if people can choose their gender then i choose to be removed from my current generation and grouped with the previous generation before me. Winning ❤
one of my biggest regrets in my life..had the opportunity to see the Dead in '94 but instead bought tickets to PInk Floyd...next year Jerry Garcia passed on ...
Disappointing for sure, but at least you missed them for Pink Floyd. That at least hopefully is the one redeeming factor. Gotta look for the silver linings, right?
55 and still loving it !!! i believe i am coined as 2nd gen but thats ok !!! I love all of these comments !!! chicken skins .... My only wish is that there were more; like, us !!! PEACE LOVE AND LIGHT to all of you here !!!
I'll never forget the show in the Portland Coliseum, June, 12 1980, the night of the third eruption of Mount St. Helens, which coated Portland and environs with ash. They played an amazing “Fire on the Mountain” in the middle of the second set, about the same time the mountain blew. Almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat It takes all you got just to stay on the beat You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat But you're here alone, there's no one to compete If Mercy's a business, I wish it for you More than just ashes when your dreams come true Fire! Fire on the mountain Fire! Fire on the mountain Fire! Fire on the mountain Fire! Fire on the mountain We walked outside after the concert and the sky was full of ash. We found a pair of pantyhose in a motel vending machine to place over the air filter of our truck and hightailed it north to Olympia. Unforgettable!
I wish I could have seen them live, It would have been the best experience of my life. Last year my son and his girlfriend got to see dead and company live in Oregon. Bet it was an amazing show.
As a child my mom dragged me to see them yearly. Had no clue in those moments what exactly I was privy to. Once I got in college it clicked. Holy shit😳 YOU saw Jerry... and Bob ALOT, now I'm grateful my mom took me. We'd spin and dances and id just wander the events. Not a care in the world. My next mission, see Dead and Co this Summer for the last tour. It's getting close hope I can pull it off.
The Dead make me have wonderful memories of my mom. A true hippie and lover of life. Unfortunately she confirmed during the yuppie era. Kids do that shit lol. Found memories of spinning and dancing with her, wandering the entire show. Meeting all the old ladies and papas. Remember the commerce that was the shows? Crafts, food, devils lettuce in the air. Everyone was so kind, nobody batted an eye at the solo kids wandering, sometimes we'd be lost for hours jamming with entire other people lol. I never fkn appreciated I saw Jerry man, Bob, Donna. It was a yearly tradition. My dad was a taper and he would sell out once he laid those shows. They were so cool abt tapers. Shared the wealth. This is why they have such a following. Many didnt hear the music we danced to. Didn't get how we were so obsessed with a band who vocally wasn't the best, depending on the show, the drugs consumed and later Jerry's health. They missed the amazing jam band quality of improvising. No show sounded exactly like the album. Go to a concert like James Taylor or the like you were better of listening at home. The radio stations aired these shows for free bc they would sell out. I love licorice and I love buttermilk. I really appreciated it once I was in high school. My concert tokens blow most away. No way I saw them yearly for the bulk of my childhood. I got to see the last tour. Went to the Philly show but had to leave early. They are my life medicine. The music last forever and ever more.
Never forget the freedom of the days when we were there for everyone and we have everything for everyone that was wanting something and be somebody for theirselves
70 yrs old and that light keeps still shining on me. We will survive.
Amen to that brother
I hope.

I'm sorry, but Gerry Garcia and the Greatful Dead deserve a much bigger thumbs up!
maybe because their records don't really reach up into the spheres like the live performances do
Jerry Jerry Garcia... Fool!
Jerry my bro. Jerry
The quality of the performance is reassuring. It's like the music of a craftsman, and every song draws me in.
My heart is broken to think that 💔 there's no more Dead shows. Nothing better than a live show.
Mayer said they will be back...when & how...who knows!
It'll happen!! The music will live on ✌🏼
So hoping Phil &/or Bobbie & the boys will form a new band or something!!!!
Bob Weir and Wolf bros ❤
just bought tickets to there show in vegas theyre back!! :)@@kckrause

A very special man who is gone too soon as many other greats
He left us with a life long legacy
RIP Jerry so full of talent and kindness fir his fellow man and never disappointed his people, his fans and his fellow man
The kind of human we should all strive to be. Making things better for people.
Thank you fir your touching story.
The older I get the faster time goes.
Touch of grey and Running down a Dream are the first two music videos I ever saw. Then I think of the long strange trip my life has been.
@@sgt.stedenko8746 that's what I tell my boys. But I'm just their mom so I don't know what it's like being a young adult 😊
Post op appendectomy, 19, living alone. Having to take care of myself alone. Holes in my heart, and in my body.
These tunes from the dead are really helping me pull thru.
Had a messy one myself a couple of years ago. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.
@veelafayette7653 Feeling better, will probably be on my feet this week. Thank you 🙏
My first concert & 2nd trip was with the Dead on Nov 13, 1972. I just found that show yesterday on Internet Archive, and listened to it again for the 2nd time in ~52 years. I was turned on back in '72 and am still turned on in 2024! Far out, man.
What a long, strange trip it's been
Keep on truckin'😎✌️
Crazy back then ud play a cassette rewind it play it I can't imagine the loose pages of lyrics on random papers are in my teenage room . The experience is so different now it breaks my heart my grand child won't experience it. But on the weekend I brought her on a cruise in her stroller with a speaker and my Playlist wash very crazy from the Israelite to some crazy stuff. And she was head banging the whole way. And the streets were pretty just getting into spring. So it was happy. We got candy at every little store we stopped at. And after this cold winter it was sunshine. And of course played grateful dead. So it's cool my little granddaughter has appreciation but it's very cool that doing this made people around us happy . And that's legacy of good music that makes u feel good
The language of heaven is music, and this is some of the Greatest .
I so miss my twenties and going to shows. The magic was palpable.❤
i confirm .......Bring me back to my younger days
Your only as young as the last time you dropped.
True Words 😆@@truthseek3017
The MAGIC Was just THAT,....👍
With ya bro. Was 17 skipping school to tour 3 consecutive shows. Also caught em in home city Memphis when ban was lifted b4 Jerry died.
I consider myself a music lover. I wrote Grateful Dead off. I mocked their fans. I did this having not knowingly ever heard one track. What compelled me to listen the last 78 mins? A fella I work with, he's a fun dude. We're both pushing 50. He's a Deadhead. So, I suppose respect of him would be the compelling catalyst. Any who, tomorrow I'm gonna tell him Touch Of Grey , Estimated Prophet, The Music Never Stopped, Hell in a Bucket, and Casey Jones are surely for casuals, and they're on my playlist. Crazy that I once had a negative bias toward hippie-types. I blame my ex-wife.
I was you once. I grew up with a ton of Hippie stuff and liked some of it, despised parts of it, but just never got the Dead. One day that changed, I got on the bus and am still on.
How about you don’t blame anyone but yourself , and the next time your criticizing something try asking yourself if you really know anything about it or not?
Maybe you need an attitude adjustment
Seems you should try to like something if you’ve never encountered it, and try to appreciate it until it proves otherwise that you may not so much care care for it after at least giving it the honest chance of coming alive within one’s self?
Give yourself a chance at least to be positive.
There’s just no comparison to a live show with Jerry playing❤️
Amazing that in a time when it seemed no two people could agree on anything that tens of thousands would stand elbow to elbow, packed in like sardines in a can to experience a Grateful Dead show ... AMAZING !
❤️🏄♀️💥✨💪🏻🤟🏻❤️🫵
amen !!! love this !!! God bless !!!
Before I go to bed, I want every animal,plant,and human in this world to know that I love you all so much, I love you all. Goodnight
Very kind❤
before i go to bed i listen to the dead and i love them all so much
Love you too!!
Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead Co-Founder and Bassist, Dead at 84. RIP Rest in Power 🙏
Yes. RID Phil. I'm Greatful for the memories.
OMG that is absolutely terrible news but at least he is hanging with Garcia probably jamming for the lord
And it starts with truckin . I got American Beauty at age of 14 and I was into good rock and roll ever since. Just turned 70 and see that all genre of music has good and bad . I choose the good !!!
This cassette tape is the one that got me hooked on the Dead, years ago.
All things from the 70s are treasures.
Except most of the people
Middle sixties after listening to this feel much younger🎶🎵🔊🔉🎷🎺🤗
My older sister used to hear this when I was a kid. May she rest in peace. . 🇵🇷
I still do!!❤
A friend asked me why I listen to the Grateful Dead every day?
So many memories! woohooo!
Because we can!!! Rock on, brother!
🌪️⚡️💀❤️✨💕🤪
29 yrs old and finally see the light
i was 35 the day i decided to quit the drugs, and live life on LIFES terms ... I NEVER LOOKED BACK !!! indeed ... what a long strange trip its been !!! Sitting here in the kingdom of hawaii at 55 yrs old, with 20 yrs 6 months under my belt !!! Life is good !!! But by the grace of God as i know him; am i still even here to share my story !!!
took me one day back in
frisco summer of love the Haight many moons ago
A band that definitely defines classic rock seen twice met once what a long strange trip it's been
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, The Who all define classic rock more than the Dead.
@@daveberuh5570 agree with all except moody blues
@@daveberuh5570 Yeah, I'd agree. Dead's more Americana.
One song ends and I can't help but break into the next song off the original album from which it came.
that''s why I stopped listening after truckin 😄
On the road it is good to listen to some good classic rock and roll
While I love the studio recordings, the live concerts always have a special place in my heart. @GratefulDeadArchives
This is me as well. I love the spontaneously sounds
I run back to it! 71 as well...nothing beats ' Old School. Long live ' Rock n Roll...❤😊😂
The greateful dead is a band in a class all by themselves I get the feeling of a blusy rock sound with a hint of old school black gospel such as help is on the way and waiting for a miracle my first time really fully listening to this awesome group of musicians gave me a new found appreciation and respect for their work and inspired messages like of course eyes of the world a touch of grey franklins tower and the proud fact their from my beloved Bay Area Palo Alto California I’m so dammed proud of that and thanks for the opportunity to comment
Correction the word Blusy was meant not blustery
This music is absolutely astounding. Rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the instruments, in short a Babylonian sound architecture erected by humbles and impetuous performers-composers
Philippe---- Ca cette certainement un petite peu de literature. --- "Babylonian sound architecture"...
hodge podge language... the same old bullshits...You like write "Babylonian sound" about all music...Boring
@@alessandromarchesini9039
@@MegaCirse you write always the same things about all music uploaded, why? Becouse you're made of nothing. What is your work, master of hodgepodge poems? Yes, you're just a boring balls breaker. Hide yourself, ridicolous man.
And one of the only bands who've ever had honor to perform at the Ghiza....
Best aura , spirit , vibe , gathering , when they came to town to play music .
I once missed my nephew's baptism to hang out with the Grateful Dead in Alpine Valley, Wisconsin!
Coolest Uncle award

Top shelf entertainment. This will never get old. RIP Dad!
I have always been aware of Grateful Dead because who isn't but I haven't done a deep dive until now because I am starting a small tie dye business and felt I had to do my research if I truly wanted to make good tie dye. At 24 years old I will now refer to this time change as my time before and after being a Deadhead.
Thanks guys! I'm enjoying listening to this happy hippie music 🎶 while studying my One Year Bible. ✌️ 🕊️ 🙏 😎 🌞
God said: "Be jouous and dance." You can't dance w/o music. Praise God for Rock and Roll.

This Band was one of its kind.
Better yet true true they were one of a kind
When I was 18 in Albany ny, there was a radio station that had a “bring out your dead” segment every night at 9pm. Three songs every night. Good times.
104 wtry Troy NY 10 pm
from mass was in albany and up state many times great times and great memories !!!
U lucky
Lost my dad today, so I'm sitting here just trying to get by. I will survive. Dead for life
That's tough. Keep on keeping on. I lost both parents at 27.. I'm from San Rafael Marin county San Francisco California 🍄. I remember Black Peter. .. and it's just like any other day. Cruel and brutal, but true. Long Liv the phawkin Grateful Dead 🍄🌁🌁🌁🍄😊
I love you brother,I lost my dad 2 years ago. We will get by
sorry for your loss
Lost mine April 2nd..... ❤
@ShaneHackworth-em1qq it's never easy. I miss mine as I'm sure you do. Stay strong
I am 25 years old love music Mojohand kind of got involved your guys music.
This album is a nice mix of the hits and the classic jam songs from shows. Could probably use Stagger Lee and China Cat but there are so many songs and only so much room. Great album!
Also needs Stella Blue.
I would gave praise and listen to the Grateful Dead when I was younger in university, it still brings me back.
it's amazing that some people hate this band and this music, but the last laugh is that a hundred years from now there will be more bands playing this music than either hip-pop nonsense or even Beatles or Zep or Floyd or whatever--the boys proved themselves to be outside of time and space
I'm 65. When I was in high school, a foreign exchange buddy of mine wanted to see a Grateful Dead concert movie playing at the theater. I'll never forget Jerry Garcia demonstrating how different speakers played depending on the notes he was playing. I've loved their music ever since.

There’s really nothing better than several days of shows, and having your tickets for every one ❤️
And maybe your tickets for the following next few venues
Back in the good old days with Jerry and 30,000 tripping Dead Heads!
There was no better place on Earth you could be‼️
My whole life I thought the Grateful Dead was a grunge band for some reason. I'm 38. Had an Uber rider recommend them, and holy shit, how did these guys fly under my radar so long?
Something very few Dead Heads even know is that they all had their own groups they had outside of the Dead. And Jerry, bless his heart, recorded origional music for children. He did several albums. Everyone with little ones needs to check them out.
American Beauty came out wen I first started JHS...In 70...Been Digging em Ever Since...Takes me Back to a Much NICER time! Gravesend Bklyn, Mini Bikes, Great Food, Hottt Lookin Babes & ROCK & ROLL....😊
1 friend, 1 acquaintance approached me, summer of '77. bus ride down (from Pennsylvania) to DC, fourth of July Yippie smoke-in, White House. After 3 days of rain and sunshine, living on our wits' end, WE hitchhiked home. the song Truckin' was written for us! I was all of 15.
The Dead was my first concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1977. I was 16 -Then saw them again at the Kingdome in Seattle in 1979. Jerry Garcia throws joints off the stage and being right in front I got to take a toke from a Dead Joint! Hash oil for the first time was enjoyed also and regular $5 gram blonde hash! I had on a denim skirt made from jeans, and a rose wreath on. wish there was cell phones back then... Ahhh the memories
I feel if reincarnation has any validity then I lived in the early and mid 60's. I was born in 74. Think maybe I was at a few good shows of my heros then killed in Nam return as a poor old Scotts Irish feller I am
I'm sure I was conceived at that concert
Hell no. Be glad there were no phones. You actually watched the show w your eyes not thru a lens
Omg!!! I remember that $5 blonde hash!! You brought me right back!!! I think we're the same age.
paramounts awesome !!!
Dedicated to and in memory of Bill Walton, a fellow UCLA alumni whose recent memorials about his descriptions of some of his experiences with the band and the impact it had on his life, helped me rediscover this magical uplifting music. Bill, you were the greatest Deadhead of them all.
Kids still camp out for entire weekends and see their favorite artists. The fests I went to would blown your mind. 10 main stages, 10 other outside stages, temporary night clubs and strip clubs set up on sight. There's was also 50 campgrounds all connected and you could drive your vehicle right up to your campsite. They had all the biggest comedians there and a magical neon Forrest. There's so much more that I could do this all day. Grateful Dead members were always there even after Jerry passed on. People that went to fests in the 60's and 70's would have their mind blown by what they created has turned into.
This comment gives me hope...only... because you posted it only one month ago. The festival scene will change you forever.
@@limiegreenie6247 true.
The difference is concerts were affordable. I saw Alot of bands for $5-$15.
I saw a bunch of well known bands for $15 at Party In The Park at Belmont Park. 1979.
Been seeing the dead close to 50 yearsThere is nothing like a dead concert family friends it is something special
Brilliant album and band
11 Concerts and they were ALL Long Strange Trips!
lol too funny you !!!
Amen brother....that Box of Rain
I listen to The Dead alot now & then. Still listening to the best tunes 🎶🎵 Even got to one show & Saw Jerry b4 he left us for the concert in the sky. Love 'em. Great musicians. Love Bobby's shorts too!! 💜
Been following since 1989, am 63 just went to the sphere to see Dead and co, t
Just the medicine I needed!
i was just thinking the same fkn thing spot, on !!!
One of the best bands of the 20th century. Each studio album was great but live shows especially with the wall of sound were even better in 1972 & 73. The Watkins Glen NY show and Englishtown NJ show were superb.
English town what a show what a exp
I was 16 at Englishtown I'm now 62 I can remember it like yesterday what a show what a experience with so many people & So much Love no one can ever match will ever come 😊😊
Still got my wall of sound t shirt
✌️😄👍
not as old as some here 62 but this music never gets old sadly I do but boy this takes me back
55 here and if i may offer you some wisdom from my own rides around the sun ... we are only as old as we feel, and age is but a number !!!
Right on! 🌼🫶
Only had 1 Dead album in 70s. Like them then but love them now. Go figure. Got wiser as I aged. Like IKO IKO too. Any other suggestions.
Must say never purchased greatest hits cause we always bought the record(s), day of release.
Trading tapes of shows the night before, that's where the music is at.
Kids nowadays would have their minds blown just spending one night camping outside of a show
They have no idea. What a wonderful experience.
Was yours not brother tell strawberry high....sgt
Yeah I bet women were getting thier pussies eaten out right in the middle of the crowd thats how wild you hippies were
I don't think the elders realize what this evolved into. 100 campgrounds, 30 outdoor main stages, a nightclub on sight, strip club on site, electric forrest, real forrest, all the best comedians and over 100 of the best musical acts around. That was pry late 90's and the early part of the new millennium. Covid slowed it down a little but not much. ✌
You have no idea how much I wish I could’ve man. Gatherings on a commune playing drums and guitars are so so beautiful, but I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been watching The Dead live rather than just jamming some of their tunes out of a 30 year old stereo system out the van lmao
Spent a summer following the Dead tour and a summer following the Phish tour. Best two summers of my life and memories that will be with me till the end.
Sounds exactly like somethi g a loser groupie would waste his time doing.
Lemme guess. Early to mid 90s?
Where did yesterday go ? And tomorrow's never on time! As they say! Stay tuned!
There is an old riddle what's always coming but never arrives? TOMORROW
KEEP ON TRUCKIN The world is worth fighting for. J. Canada
it always now it just seems 2 move
You are the song that the morning brings!!
First time hearing this band , this is Gold
Welcome!
Ripple-it just doesn’t get any better than that
68 still loving the dead.
Im 30 and just recently found out how blessed i am my mom had actual standards and love for music when i was growing up because i tell ya people around my age are sincerely fucked when it comes to their "taste in music" its ridiculous however it occurs to me at this point in the world if people can choose their gender then i choose to be removed from my current generation and grouped with the previous generation before me. Winning ❤
one of my biggest regrets in my life..had the opportunity to see the Dead in '94 but instead bought tickets to PInk Floyd...next year Jerry Garcia passed on ...
Disappointing for sure, but at least you missed them for Pink Floyd. That at least hopefully is the one redeeming factor. Gotta look for the silver linings, right?
55 and still loving it !!! i believe i am coined as 2nd gen but thats ok !!! I love all of these comments !!! chicken skins .... My only wish is that there were more; like, us !!! PEACE LOVE AND LIGHT to all of you here !!!
I am 59 just heard the dead for the first time can't believe what I have missed 😮😮😮
Omg man... Where u been brother? I'm 45& been listening for like 20 years. I listen nearly every day. Including big Steve's show...
Join in my friend
they are a cultural influence of titanic proportions, how can u have overlooked them?
Welcome home!
I'll never forget the show in the Portland Coliseum, June, 12 1980, the night of the third eruption of Mount St. Helens, which coated Portland and environs with ash. They played an amazing “Fire on the Mountain” in the middle of the second set, about the same time the mountain blew.
Almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete
If Mercy's a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
We walked outside after the concert and the sky was full of ash. We found a pair of pantyhose in a motel vending machine to place over the air filter of our truck and hightailed it north to Olympia.
Unforgettable!
The Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion!
listened to it after many long years. Still you can shake a leg. Yet, my favourite is black muddy river.
Shake a leg, very nicely said!
i play big muddy on piano, its so beautiful
Dank voor het plaatsen ! Groeten uit Amsterdam Oost.
On the bus since 1969. At 83, still enjoying the ride. Cowboy Neal knows the wsy.
way to go Bro, Peace
The Dead is proof, if you're gonna write ballads, ya gotta be able to sing.
I wish I could have seen them live, It would have been the best experience of my life. Last year my son and his girlfriend got to see dead and company live in Oregon. Bet it was an amazing show.
As a child my mom dragged me to see them yearly. Had no clue in those moments what exactly I was privy to. Once I got in college it clicked. Holy shit😳 YOU saw Jerry... and Bob ALOT, now I'm grateful my mom took me. We'd spin and dances and id just wander the events. Not a care in the world. My next mission, see Dead and Co this Summer for the last tour. It's getting close hope I can pull it off.
Oregon and the area is too cool!! Leave time for the redwoods though!! WHEE brought us out there, the land almost didn't let us come home!!
Me too! Sigh, maybe in my next life, Uncle Jerry is surely missed!
A magnificent collection of songs 🌹💀🌹
The Dead soothes my soul like no other music can
Oh heck yeah, the first album of the Dead I ever listened to. Didn't expect to see this uploaded, great stuff!
Same here!
Same!!!
you know all the rules by now..
Thanks guys and gals.from Australia 🎼🌄🚂🎤
I love googling grateful deads greatest hits and the voice says which one? There are so many!
🌈A gazillion 😸💃🏽
Choose any live show..
Maybe one from 72 in Europe
The dead rule. Seen them many times No regrets
😊😊
The Dead make me have wonderful memories of my mom. A true hippie and lover of life. Unfortunately she confirmed during the yuppie era. Kids do that shit lol. Found memories of spinning and dancing with her, wandering the entire show. Meeting all the old ladies and papas. Remember the commerce that was the shows? Crafts, food, devils lettuce in the air. Everyone was so kind, nobody batted an eye at the solo kids wandering, sometimes we'd be lost for hours jamming with entire other people lol. I never fkn appreciated I saw Jerry man, Bob, Donna. It was a yearly tradition. My dad was a taper and he would sell out once he laid those shows. They were so cool abt tapers. Shared the wealth. This is why they have such a following. Many didnt hear the music we danced to. Didn't get how we were so obsessed with a band who vocally wasn't the best, depending on the show, the drugs consumed and later Jerry's health. They missed the amazing jam band quality of improvising. No show sounded exactly like the album. Go to a concert like James Taylor or the like you were better of listening at home. The radio stations aired these shows for free bc they would sell out. I love licorice and I love buttermilk. I really appreciated it once I was in high school. My concert tokens blow most away. No way I saw them yearly for the bulk of my childhood. I got to see the last tour. Went to the Philly show but had to leave early. They are my life medicine. The music last forever and ever more.
Never forget the freedom of the days when we were there for everyone and we have everything for everyone that was wanting something and be somebody for theirselves
