This is the definitive jam compilation of the Dead's primal period. Psychedelic and jazzy, yet hard rocking as well. Some experiences just make you say, wow glad I'm alive at this moment in time. The dead primal era does this for me. Incredible that a jam band from the 60 can generate such a plethora of thought. It is very difficult to describe the thought process that occurs in my head when I listen to the dead, but it is like an excercise for the mind. It makes me ponder important questions and gives me pleasure at the same time.
I'm temporarily in a skilled nursing facility and bored out of my mind. Just stumbled upon this. I close my eyes and imagine I'm back in the glory daze of 1970 Grateful Dead. Now if I just had a joint...

interesting.....never could quite undersand the whole "rap" thing......theres no melody, hardly a harmony, and not much in the way of chords.......H.rap Brown was the first rapper in the 1960's, and stokely carmichael....., the only thing i can compare rap music too to in my era.....bob dylan was a rapper, but he put it to music.
@@johniorio7951 I think people who like percussion instruments and rhythm are attracted to it. That’s what I love about the music. If you like street culture then you find the lyrics beautiful as well. It’s definitely a state-of-mind. Not music to relax to but music to be energized by, inspired by. Rap culture is an art family, people keep each other going though struggles, through the songs and the stories in the songs that record the history of the streets, the history you can’t get in history books. All the songs always reference other artists and their work and their social connection to each other. No other style of music does this. I find that to be a very dignified and special aspect of rap. Woven throughout intense war-like battles for supremacy are constant expressions of gratitude and respect for their inspirations to carry on in the world, gratitude for their place in the world. The whole art form is an interconnected record of the streets, it’s the united heart beat of the people that fight back against poverty and despair.

I’ll never understand how Jerry could so gracefully and effortlessly translate the melody in his head to his fingers and guitar. Good stuff here man, thanks! Primal dead is the best dead
I listen for hours. The music fades into the background as I focus on my work. All of a sudden I am hearing the music for a moment. My brain is listening to all of it and wakes me out of my computer stupor saying "hey, listen to this". Remarkable.
I love the Grateful Dead. They’re probably one of my favorite bands if not my favorite. One of my favorite songs of theirs is Dark Star, and whether I’m stoned out of my mind or tripping I’ll just listen to these mixes, zone out, and just let the music carry me away, but every time I hear Dark Star it draws me back into it, it brings me back to the world and makes everything feel surreal. I love that song with a passion and every time it turns on I turn it up. Pointless information... just the love I have for the song and I thought I’d share it.
Have you heard Greyfolded? Dude spliced over 100 dark stars together and made a double album. "[John Oswald's] uncanny compositions-which he terms 'plunderphonics'-are sculpted by morphing and layering multiple incarnations of a song to make a thoroughly unique version.... While it may not be everyone's blend of surreal sonic psychedelics, Grayfolded is well executed and worthy of inclusion in any Deadhead collection. " th-cam.com/play/PLOmR_eXYHEFAy8EnPA5AgmU7AOpAfK-LY.html
I love how there’s something about this band that forces us to pour out our emotion for (and opinions of) them. There are so many different reasons for which people listen to them and fans have such diversity of opinion on everything from favorite eras to styles (acoustic/folky & hardcore psychedelia to jazz & dissonant spaces-capes), never mind the endless debates on best keyboardist, drummer, etc…if humanity doesn’t end ourselves I believe this music could carry on with nearly the same fervor for hundreds of years. Long Live our Grateful Dead, even when all of us are too 💀
Alot of bands take us on a trip, but no other band makes the trip as beautiful, safe, interconnected and just plain ' Holy Fuk! I don't want this ride to end ' like The Grateful Dead...
Listened to the 70’s 5hr mix for my 59th birthday last year. Golden teacher assisted. Now I know what I’ll be doing for my 60th birthday ❤️ blessings everyone
I always watch these long instrumental videos to study to. Never know what I'm listening to just as long as it's not distracting I keep it on. About two hours in I found myself thinking wow this Playlist is really good how did they find all these bands that sound so good? When it ended I looked up the music genre Grateful Dead and was amazed to find it's a band! And most of their songs have singing! This is literally just them jamming! I still have a hard time believing this is just one band but thanks to the Grateful Dead I no longer look for music to study to. I noticed there is another 5 hour Playlist but right now I'm just going to stay with this one. Amazing band this Grateful Dead is.
Warms my heart. I can only begin to imagine the onslaught of how this discovery must feel like straight to the dome like this. You will still manage to hit waves of even more amazement, satisfaction, and admiration. There's certainly a lot of other stuff out there that is amazing, but nothing like the good ole Grateful Dead.
I've developed an appreciation for the Grateful Dead with time. Their music isn't as much about writing phenomenal songs or anything that can be described as flashy. More than anything else, the Dead is an exploration of sounds and sonic textures and positive vibes. Their music is something that can be easily visualized (very round and colorful, just like psychedelic visuals); much like the psychedelic experiences that inspired it, sound and sight are seamlessly combined in the Dead's music.
Glad you finally got on the bus, but as others have noted, the Dead DID write phenomenal songs, which were the basis for their musical excursions. Friggin' newbie:)
for me, this was the essence of THe Grateful Dead.I stayed home from work to listen to this whole thing, burt I could listen to it 10 more times. Excellent compilation...thank you!
A beautiful mix of the first imprint of what would become the old testament of the bridge to improv jazz, blues and world music by a rock band and explored in depth for the next 30 years. This band's exploration wouid help inspire and endure new generation of jam-improv bands we now know as Jam Bands.
This is soooo awesome. I listened to the first edition of the jams compilation for hours and hours and days and days and it was great music to work by on my computer and now I have this the early days to listen to. I can't wait for the first go-round. Thank you so much for doing this. It is very much appreciated. I've been following the Grateful Dead since I attended the Human Be-In on January 14th 1967 at the Polo Field in Golden Gate Park , San Framcisco when I was 12 years old. I've been rocking to them ever since, 53 years and counting. Cheers!
@@mickflaire The video of Viola Lee from that day is something I really enjoy watching on occasion. It looks like it was a nice day, and everyone seems to just be grooving. So cool.
I first saw the Dead at Magoo's when they were The Warlocks after I left home at 14 and ran away to San Francisco. Seventy one now, and I'm still Grateful4ever.
God, I love the sound of Jerry's playing in 1969, which opens this fantastic comp. My fave year of Jerry's playing without question. The sound of it, the tone, just Godhead.
I may be late - heh heh. I thought his best tone was probably the Wolf guitar on Dick's Pick's 10, but this '69 is GREAT and different. He also sounded way fine on "Alligator" - the Europe "72 modified Strat - it's like dead clean, no masks or crutches. Dark Star is like RELIGION - I fully support John Mayer's decision to not even bother🙂 I mean C'mon?
I love this mix and the other one you did. What impresses me most (besides the jams of course) is the sound quality. Just stunning, particularly for such old recordings. Thank you!
Love it! I'm an old dude that grew up in the SF bay area in the '60s and this takes me back to the days when I lived in a van, had a long legged hippy gal and we'd get high & go to the Fillmore, GG Park and listen to the Dead, Big Bro, Quicksilver. Fun, fun days. Not braggin', just lucky!
Now, for the past 45 years I live in a small town up in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The bay area got too big for me and I was part of exodus to " get back to the land". Tom Bolo, KMPX was a great f.m. station! I'm older, and still listen to the 🎶 of my day, along with the other great stuff that I grew to appreciate. Music is the universal language, IMHO. Cheers to all.
@@smittysmith3170 Nice deal, shmitty!!.....yeah, we all did that on the east coast...i recall my best bud's dad(he was more beatnic era) buying a spread in the ct. country side.....tho, 1972 or so.....you still workin? or workin' the land!!....sierra nevada is my beer of choice.
Oh Yeah this is the one I was waiting for!!! I dug your other 5 hr jam, but I really like this era for it's intense psychedelic blues. No envelope filters which leads to excessive noodling, or long extended deep space jams where imho not much is happening. Thx for taking the time & effort to put this together. Should be nominated for a Grammy lol
There is nothing better then music 2:30:00 - 2:47:00 Next time you need more storage let me know and I will personally buy you a hard drive as long as these mixes keep coming
When this starts, my first impulse is always to rise and begin moving - dancing. Which I do, often, but sometimes I'm working at my desk so I let it ease me into the focus required to do my job with joy, and the music carries me to an effortless feeling of satisfaction. Thank you for putting these jams together so well; your generosity is so very appreciated!
Thanks for taking the time to seam all of this together. I was going to ask you about the dates, but you answered that already, so I will just have to enjoy this while perhaps periodically finding the actual dates, which makes it just that more interesting. Music is great! God Bless.
Boomerbelts early beach day 6:30 am, laying down at the beach on an incredible sunny morn, listening to Dark Star being played by Jerry n The Boys, but this DS is so different quick paced with great acoustics, probably no LSD, lol, but its flowing with excitement like a roller coaster ride, once again The Dead eating up time with a calculated melodic flow of space and ear piercing sound❤️
I discovered and listened to your 71-83 compilation and thought it was fantastic. So stoked to be listening to this one! Thanks so much for deadicating the time to put these together.
Thank You🌹 very very much for putting this together.🌹 This is my go to for relaxing and taking in the day. There where a lot of amazing things taking place while these different pieces of music where brought together. Its good that you have taken the time to carefully put all this together. We all know that Jerry is smiling knowing that it lives forever with the people.💀🌹
gotta say these jam mixes are my saving grace, as the intense lockdown isolation is taking a toll in my brain, meditating with this on the bg is brining great results for my peace of mind, thank you for your work
I like this too. To me, it is nice to listen to them when they still sounded like a local San Francisco band. I like their newer, maybe I should say more recent work too, especially 1983, but this earlier music really show their roots to me. Thanks.
Oh hell yeah! Happy New Year!!! Found this at 1AM, would've came in real handy at 8PM, n saved a lot of wrassling with a writhing remote. Next time!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU, o mighty greatefuldeadosaurusrex!
This reminds me - "We were talking about the space between us all And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth Then it's far too late When they pass away We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew Try to realise it's all within yourself No one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small And life flows on within you and without you We were talking about the love that's gone so cold And the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know They can't see Are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find Peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one And life flows on within you and without you ..." Much love to all the Heads out there
the feeling that he experienced when dead created this music and the feeling you get when you listen to him. The transcendence of feelings is God. Even you don't believe in it. It is in all of us. But you won't believe me and I won't either. God is a very polluted word now. Try to replace it with your own feelings and make a word for yourself which can resembles your feelings. After all God is just a sound that is guised in the ideas but we really don't know what it is. even though we have to desire to put it in a limitation of words which itself created by us.
@@aek12 i met god before so i dont doubt the existing part anymore but the answers to mankinds questions were conveyed to me in a sense of feeling i wont begin to describe.. funny enough i was thinking the other day if jerry garcia ever pondered the fact he was given such a gift as to be jerry garcia then the thought escaped but yes i share what know with you literally without shoving it on you of course.
I appreciate your efforts so much. As others are saying, this is great work music, but also is meditative. This opens up long moments as I listen to it. The sound is so clean I feel that I'm in the room!
No doubt... back in the day I used to collect sheets of blotter for an artist named Mark McCloud who made collages out of the sheets. He did shows around the world and eventually Interpol got the US Feds to come after him... The trial transcript is itself a work of art. He got off (see what I did there...) arguing correctly that the use was artistic and he also had "vanished" the lsd with UV light. But the battle between prankster spirit and THE MAN was epic! And all that fun would never have been possible if it weren't for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead.
So special gratefuldeadosaurusrex! Thank you so vey much for this excellent music! I have over 24 personally recorded Dark Stars on my channel , if you are interested. Cheers from Bedford....
I discovered them in 1972 during high-school time..i have stopped to listen them during all the eighties, nineties and over 21th century. I re-listenjng from 2012 with a different ear at a different age (55y.old) .
This jam drops in with Phil going crazier than a shit house rat on bass! I love recordings when he’s so clear. The mad energy of this makes me feel like it’s gotta be from ‘68, my favorite year. I thought it was a Viola Lee jam at first but after listening through I think it was the final jam of an Other One->The Eleven. If I come across an exact date I’ll report back…
@@thefamilydog3278 possible Dane County 73, the ending of dark star, (Phil jam) into eyes. Pure bliss. Remember flying high across the bay Bridge post kimock show to this jam.

Love this man.. I hear hints of shows I listen to over and over . My favorite Dead years thank you!
Thank you very much, in my mind I'm seeing Jerry, it's like a private show,
These make life better. First one has been played dozens of times in its entirety at my place. Thanks for the work.
"These make life better." Indeed. We are truly blessed to have the Grateful Dead. Something so right happened in the universe to make this happen.
I read Sri Isopanasad while listening to this, it is a unique experience and I hope it helps the band.
There is nothing better then music
2:30:00 - 2:47:00
Next time you need more storage let me know and I will personally buy you a hard drive as long as these mixes keep coming
I do like the "San Francisco" sound. That was the era that made the rest of it possible. Thanks for putting this together for us.
Best organic jam band ever. Thanks for this, saves me a lot of search and edit! Requiem for the boomers dream.
Man, I remember going to this concert. Good times!✌
Bro this is like twenty different concerts
When this starts, my first impulse is always to rise and begin moving - dancing. Which I do, often, but sometimes I'm working at my desk so I let it ease me into the focus required to do my job with joy, and the music carries me to an effortless feeling of satisfaction. Thank you for putting these jams together so well; your generosity is so very appreciated!
you deserve some kind of award for sharing this indescribable music compilation.
Thanks for taking the time to seam all of this together. I was going to ask you about the dates, but you answered that already, so I will just have to enjoy this while perhaps periodically finding the actual dates, which makes it just that more interesting. Music is great! God Bless.
Exquisite background. Really take me back.
Boomerbelts early beach day 6:30 am, laying down at the beach on an incredible sunny morn, listening to Dark Star being played by Jerry n The Boys, but this DS is so different quick paced with great acoustics, probably no LSD, lol, but its flowing with excitement like a roller coaster ride, once again The Dead eating up time with a calculated melodic flow of space and ear piercing sound❤️
thanks for putting this together excellent stuff
WOW! ~ I'm loss for words! ~ All I can say is, WOW! ~ And THANKS!, to whoever put this together.
I discovered and listened to your 71-83 compilation and thought it was fantastic. So stoked to be listening to this one! Thanks so much for deadicating the time to put these together.
Brilliant and enlightening from the start. 5hrs of enjoyment, feels good in da summer time..
Thank You🌹 very very much for putting this together.🌹 This is my go to for relaxing and taking in the day. There where a lot of amazing things taking place while these different pieces of music where brought together. Its good that you have taken the time to carefully put all this together. We all know that Jerry is smiling knowing that it lives forever with the people.💀🌹
You Will be Changed after 5 hours of the best Jams ever. Now go hotbox a Van with blue smoke.
This has completely changed my life, as I'm sure it has for many others
What's that....? Shoving cigarettes up your nose ...
@@helbitkelbit1790 it’s a meme from Google ya goof
Love the GD, the music is healing, it should be mandatory for all of our politicians to ingest a psychedelic while listening to this.
Nixon was into acid sessions...usually at camp david.
The Dead has saved my soul, mind and body countless times. Nothing will ever match it.
Wharf Rat got me to sober up 22 yrs ago, saved me too!!!
Take the next step and find Jesus. 🤞
Mine too I can't listen to nothing else
Yup! Me too 😊
Thank you for these listening treasures!
gotta say these jam mixes are my saving grace, as the intense lockdown isolation is taking a toll in my brain, meditating with this on the bg is brining great results for my peace of mind, thank you for your work
these are wonderful transitions into other jams, thank you for creating this
This is truly a sick mix! Primal dead at its best! You sir are a saint of all saints!
Thank you. This is true kindness.
Thank you for your efforts. I really enjoy the selection and quality of your cuts. Good balance and equalization--John
ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS!..THANK YOU!
I like this too. To me, it is nice to listen to them when they still sounded like a local San Francisco band. I like their newer, maybe I should say more recent work too, especially 1983, but this earlier music really show their roots to me. Thanks.
So much appreciation for your work. This is some of the best creations in existence :) Love from Sweden!
This is so good. Thank you.
Oh hell yeah! Happy New Year!!! Found this at 1AM, would've came in real handy at 8PM, n saved a lot of wrassling with a writhing remote. Next time!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU, o mighty greatefuldeadosaurusrex!
Keep this shit up! Thank you for your help in this time of crisis. Music heals the soul ✌
"heals the soul?" Aye, that it does ....
Just took some shrooms. Thanks for providing the soundtrack to my journey!
Well these two years passed quickly! Oddly enough in the same place again without forethought
Great listening while in front of my computer. Also, I frequently pick up one of my guitars and jam along.
this is more than music, it is life creation at the beginnings
This reminds me -
"We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late
When they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know
They can't see
Are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you ..."
Much love to all the Heads out there
RIP G.H.
1:40:00 to about 1:45:00, pure magic. I can't help but smile through that passageway. Phil picks it up about a minute and a half in.
Thank you so much for this goodness💖
If god doesnt exist, who made this and upload? This is just priceless !
Oh, this is perfect.
Needed this sonic balm. Thanks so much for sharing.
I don't believe in a god, but may he or she bless you for uploading this gem.
I agree Jack, heavenly, from a Garforth , England 'Deadhead' . Wish I knew how to store this on my smartphone
Quite literally one of the most moronic things I've read.. But, I agree with you..
@@slatsstrong5418 Moronic, but you agree. Now THAT is Zen. 😂
the feeling that he experienced when dead created this music and the feeling you get when you listen to him. The transcendence of feelings is God. Even you don't believe in it. It is in all of us. But you won't believe me and I won't either. God is a very polluted word now. Try to replace it with your own feelings and make a word for yourself which can resembles your feelings. After all God is just a sound that is guised in the ideas but we really don't know what it is. even though we have to desire to put it in a limitation of words which itself created by us.
@@aek12 i met god before so i dont doubt the existing part anymore but the answers to mankinds questions were conveyed to me in a sense of feeling i wont begin to describe.. funny enough i was thinking the other day if jerry garcia ever pondered the fact he was given such a gift as to be jerry garcia then the thought escaped but yes i share what know with you literally without shoving it on you of course.
The opening Dark Star is 10-12-68, best primal Dead show
Thank you ❤
3/29/2020 what a great day listening to this.
Phenomenal. Thank you.👍🕺🌌
I appreciate your efforts so much. As others are saying, this is great work music, but also is meditative. This opens up long moments as I listen to it. The sound is so clean I feel that I'm in the room!
just pure concentrated music sent right into the ears
Love the blotter paper back ground slowly moving down
Excellent!
This is sublime.
Its awesome 🎵🎼. I been listening to them at bed time.
LSD tabs are literal pieces of art
No doubt... back in the day I used to collect sheets of blotter for an artist named Mark McCloud who made collages out of the sheets. He did shows around the world and eventually Interpol got the US Feds to come after him... The trial transcript is itself a work of art. He got off (see what I did there...) arguing correctly that the use was artistic and he also had "vanished" the lsd with UV light. But the battle between prankster spirit and THE MAN was epic! And all that fun would never have been possible if it weren't for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead.
Love it, thank you sir. In a way it reminds me of terrapin station, in the sense of the loop. Bless you
LOL!! And hear i am again, listening to the jam. Like Terrapin, haha
background for my therapy, thanks GDasaurusrex
5 hours of Mixolydian, great stuff!!!
I've died and gone to heaven. Thank you.
Saved by jerry!

🌈💥🔥🥀☮🎶🎵🌎🌍🌏🎵🎶☮🥀🔥🌟🌈
ALOHA AND MAHALO FOR THIS AMAZING LABOR OF L♡VE☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you God for making the Grateful Dead
Beautiful
Love it. My brain is having a great time
I discovered them in 1972 during high-school time..i have stopped to listen them during all the eighties, nineties and over 21th century. I re-listenjng from 2012 with a different ear at a different age (55y.old) .
I love this very much , thank u !
03:45:30 So good!!! WOW what a jam!! everything goes perfectly together
You always find the best little pockets of jam
@@gratefuldeadosaurusrex Well, you did find it first! Do you know the date of this awesome jam?
This jam drops in with Phil going crazier than a shit house rat on bass! I love recordings when he’s so clear.
The mad energy of this makes me feel like it’s gotta be from ‘68, my favorite year. I thought it was a Viola Lee jam at first but after listening through I think it was the final jam of an Other One->The Eleven.
If I come across an exact date I’ll report back…
@@thefamilydog3278 possible Dane County 73, the ending of dark star, (Phil jam) into eyes. Pure bliss. Remember flying high across the bay Bridge post kimock show to this jam.
It’s definitely the eleven. Gonna guess 68 based on the tone and the sound of the recording. Maybe those February 68 shows
GRATE GREAT grate great mix .....
