as a Dead Head that has listened to 100's if not 1000's of hours of live Grateful Dead shows this is by far the best Morning Dew ever played. "The Grateful Dead aren't the best at what they do, they are the ONLY ones who do what they do." Bill Graham Concert Promoter
Hey Jamal thanks man you're AWESOME cant wait for the remaining 8 minutes of this with you ha ha - see Simpsons joke on Dead Song lengths - also please react to our band foxzen I'll get the link we gave time 💙❤🎅🏿 LOVE knowing where this is going having heard this version and others hundreds of times
It is a cover song -- about nuclear war. Written in the early 1960's by a young woman from Canada. Check out the original, too. But I am mesmerized watching you listen to this for the first time. You are so feeling this. And rightly so. Welcome to the family, friend xo
Long familiar with magical Dead performances of this, but not previously aware of the original and other covers. Found Dobson's original is an excellent listen - not quite the same words. Some of the other covers provide interesting alternative interpretations. Check out is when she is accompanied by Robert Plant.
I never listened to this band before - the name made me think it was some kind of hard-core grungy type set-up. But this song has made me grateful to be alive. Beautiful, just beautiful. Will be checking out all their stuff now, especially as they remind me of Cream.
When you showed up on my TH-cam feed, I thought the idea of watching a younger black man listening and reacting to the Grateful Dead was absurd. Especially in 2021. I'm so glad I didn't ignore the suggestion because I have met a man who embodies all of the values, beliefs and attitudes of my particular subculture. He lives it and shares it daily. You, brother are a true keeper of the flame. In this world of endless differences, there are things that make us more or less the same. Music is one... It's a great place to start. Thank you...
They should make a movie of Jamel listening to this and call it “The Dawn of the Deadhead.” So great seeing you appreciating the Dead like so many of us do. “Magic!”
@@neurodiversityininsurance I like the way you think! I'm trying to connect with Jamel myself because it would be a cool way for our band foxzen to get famous if he reacts to us - idk Steve at all but wish me luck making the connection and I'll mention it to Jamel!
Finally , one of the most legendary Morning Dews of all time and Betty board sounding so crisp and clear while the boys played just oh so tight. It gives me chills every time.
Hershey 1985 is right up there among the best as well. Rain finally coming to an end. The moon peeking through the clouds above the stage. It was magical. =)
I just wanted to thank you brother for doing what you do. You may not realize it, but you're bringing joy and light into the world. I appreciate you Jamel. Peace, love, and joy brother. ✌🙏💖🏵
I got this song at my 1st Dead show. and I needed it. my soul was saved that nite. thats how I felt, and still do. I cried like a baby. so believe me, I know the Magic. Jerry was glowing on that stage. he looked like an angel to me. such a powerful, beautiful human. Thank you Jerry, and the boys. The Grateful Dead is the greatest thing humans has ever created. 💀⚘⚡❤⚡⚘💀 Forever Grateful
... and I love how Jerry could say things like this -- but with complete humility. No cockiness at all... so humble and grounded, considering himself just fortunate and lucky to be at right places at right time early on- seemingly underestimating his own talent and work ethic. When asked in interview about "going down as one of the greats in history"... he would respond with things like ".. I'd settle for being thought of as having been a 'competent' musician" so you see his balance and his character even amidst complete adoration by thousands every night for decades....
Best line from Jamel in this reaction..."You don't even have to know what the it is, but you gonna feel it." That pretty much encapsulates the past 37 years of my life being a Deadhead. I've never been quite able to put into words what it is that I'm feeling, but the Grateful Dead damn sure make me feel it.
Me too! Started seeing them live in 1972 (In Philly at The Spectrum) SO many GRATE times seeing the boys over the years! Miss Jerry like a immediate family member. :-(
At the '72 London Lyceum, Garcia spent much of this song w/his back to the audience bc he was so into the moment that tears were streaming down his face. That happens to me @ every single live show I go to, I can't control it--the moment I look around & see everyone around me flowing along & the music strikes a chord that hits me in the feels, waterworks just pour down my smiling face.
From their song: The Music Never Stops: "They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir. People join in, hand in hand *while the music plays the band,* Lord, they're settin' us in fire!
I recall listening to music never stopped at a show in the late 80s and it was really hot that summer, and it was the end of the first set and it was a Tuesday and when Bob was about to say the line “and the cool breeze didn’t come on Tuesday” it was great. Another show in Raleigh there was a huge bolt of lightning that came down the same second the first notes to Dark Star began to play. I can tell a dozen of these anecdotes but don’t wanna go on any longer. O one of my favorites was being stared at by Edie Brickell when her band opened for jerry and da boys. For a WHOLE song. I was in the 4 row on the floor though, in the middle. But I wish I woulda approached her somehow for at least an autograph. She was so gorgeous and talented and Bobby Weir was glued to her on the side stage, he wanted to get some of that!
my man - thats crazy funny... well said cause i know that feeling so well, feels like i've felt it countless times- almost exclusively as a result of discovering a new Dead nugget (new to me that is) or even just rediscovering an old favorite. This still happens to me often... after decades of the Dead-- most of my 50 yrs now
Jerry could crawl inside a melody like no one's business and make you feel it in your spine. He made the notes sing in ways only he could have dreamt up or conjured or whatever magic he was channeling at times. I play a bit and Ive studied Jerry since I was like 14. Ive heard 100 other people try and describe his special sauce - the loping lazy path back to the roots, the unexpected detours between scales, the spaces in between notes (the non-note). All the above and 1000 other reasons. I still dont think anyone really can understand why he lit so many of us up and continues to 26 years after he left us. And maybe thats exactly why its his special sauce
@@HappyInSantaMarta he is teaching many here already and providing this school (bus) for us to teach each other too. My only real friend outside my family moved to Hawaii and we barely talk so just being able to chat like this is a blessing and "lesson to me" so thank YOU too!!
Just started, can’t wait! This is one of the Dead’s absolute shining moments. Every member of the band brings something deep to the table in this and Jerry delivers the vocal perfectly.
just think Jamal, everytime us dead fans put on a show we are feeling it like you are expressing, eyes closed, in the moment, boppin' our heads and grinning. its what you do when you GET IT.
Just came across this. I can't imagine what was going through his mind listening to this for the first time. I know how felt almost 40 years ago. I can't imagine my life without the Grateful Dead!
Always happy to see you doing more Grateful Dead. Since you are doing deep cuts, consider listening to “Standing on the Moon”. This version has Branford Marsalis sitting in on sax and Bruce Hornsby on piano: th-cam.com/video/rv4DWUQEY10/w-d-xo.html

@@langwaters9653It's so incredibly fun but this man has "got it" quicker than anyone I've ever witnessed and it's really not for everyone and a lot of time takes cultivating a certain appreciation for musical instruments and classic American rock and roll...I love this so much lol

@@PatTheBatmanFan that would make sense granted I didn’t use Apple Music on my phone and TH-cam on my laptop with no connected email or anything... but I’m no techie, what do i know lol
J is the best reactor out there, and this is one of his best. He emerses himself and is able to get the gist of the song on his first listen. For many of us oldies, watching J brings us back to those times when we first “got into” a song or band. And he does it with so much love, brotherhood, feeling and humbleness - you just have to pay him much respect. Having a bad day, listen to some J!
Totally. He does a phenomenal job of capturing the essence of the song, the lyrics, the vibe, even the fans. And yes, that’s why anyone is watching reaction videos - to kind of regain/retain some of that feeling of what they originally felt when they first came across the music and became obsessed with whatever it is.
Great choice Jamal. This was the period with Keith Godchaux on the keys. He was in the band from 1971-79. The 70s were prime Dead for me. Brent joined in 1979. You also need to dive into the period with Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. He was in the band from 1965-72. He sadly passed away in 1973 at age 27.
Great suggestion. The Hard to Handle from the Yale Bowl (07/31/71), available on Complete Road Trips, is one of the great Dead performances. Pigeon rips it up on vocals and Garcia's solo towards the end is one of my favourite solos of all time. Awesome stuff.
IT IS A COMPLETE PLEASURE AND JOY SEEING YOU GETTING LOST IN GRATEFUL DEAD TUNES. AND THIS ONE IS A JEM IN EVERY DEADHEAD'S COLLECTION. YOUR SOUL SHINES THRU IN YOUR FACE AS YOU RIDE THE MUSIC.
Auditorium Theatre. Listened to that yesterday. My hometown at the time. Got to see 3 May ‘77 shows: Barton Hall and both Auditorium shows. I was about to recommend this Stella Blue to someone.
Why eat.a.f ew stems and.caps? And see colors... When we can eat the whole bag and see jerrymylitus Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
GREAT VERSION AND SHOW!!! This show is in the Library of Congress, which has been said was THE BEST SHOW THE GRATEFUL DEAD PLAYED ... IMHO They have some from this tour that are TRULY Magical Love your reactions you you GET IT
What's so amazing to me about this tune is that it's so wide open, but yet every space is filled with just the right amount of instrumentation. Masterful.
I know I’m late to this party but that’s my favorite thing about the dead. The beauty of their musicianship is that they truly listen to each other on stage. None of them are trying to play the loudest solo or steal the spotlight. They each have so much to offer and they all provide the space for each other to bring it to the table, creating such mind-blowing collectives of incredibly rich musical tapestries built on a foundation of deceptively simple structure. Some of their greatest performances come from songs entirely based around two or three chords, and it gives them all a LOT of room to really work with it and find their groove. “Fire on the Mountain” from this same show is a prime example. Just two chords, but the song is stretched to 15 minutes with an explosive ending. Absolute masters of their craft, each and every one of them.
One of the interesting aspects of going to Dead concert was that no matter how many you went, they were all completely different. Even on the same tour, every night different songs and even the songs that were the same were different versions!
I feel this is the greatest Morning Dew ever played and watching you discover it like this is like watching my emotions embodied out in the world. So glad you enjoyed, brother Jamel!
Thank you for showing more of the world this light in the darkness. Love and Joy for sure in light of the difficult subject matter of this cover song. One of Jerry's favorites
Morning dew a term associated with the aftermath of a nuclear explosion.. ie the next morning the young mother is trying to explain to her child .. then realizes the futility and out they go .. Bonnie Dobson wrote it
This demonstrates the ability this band had to go from a whisper to a ROAR. There were many transcendent moments of musical melange for the adventuresome and persistent patrons of America's finest Rock n Roll Blues Country Folk Jam Band. The moments of magic were worth the trip from anywhere. As Sunshines bumper stickers said it so perfectly. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GRATEFUL DEAD CONCERT. Between 1973 and 1995 I managed to catch over 450 Dead shows and 75+ Jerry shows and yes even Kingfish. I went pro in 82. I couldn't find anything better to do..
I would love to sit with Jamel over a few beers listening to all the great music and talking about it. He is like the best big brother everyone wishes the had. Love you, brother.
Always enjoyed likening this song to the day after the show, literally walking around in morning dew after camping, coming down (or not) the next morning. Remembering everything that was experienced the night before, expanded things seen and heard, the show, and coming back into orbit. After all the craziness, and trying to make sense of it all...it doesn’t matter anyway. ❤️
5/8/77 is a great show indeed. But if you really deep dive into the band's live concerts, there are lots of shows just as good. And many shows even better.
Echoing everyone else - it's great to watch your face as you "get" it. The first time I went to a Dead show I was in awe - I didn't understand how it could make me feel the way it did. I wish you could've been in the parking lot and then in a show. you would have loved it. And it would've loved YOU right back!
Closest I made it to Jerry was 95 lot in ATL and some beautiful Rose dose- a single hit 2nd hand off my buddy's tongue had me tripping harder by a million than 2 tabs of local Athens Demon Point THE NIGHT BEFORE. But I didnt want to try to go in cuz I didnt wan a jinx it by thinking I wouldnt get another chance...
immediate like, haven't even listened yet. Barton Hall Dew is one of the greatest moments in imaginary music history. Morning Dew is a fabulous tune and this was one of the best versions of it.
Wow , i had no idea.... how he strokes this song with his voice and Guitar in the beginning. As if he would be afraid to touch it. And how they go all out in the end. Love it. What a Jam.(and Gem)
The impact of your channel can’t be overstated for me. As a musician, music was magical and a staple for the majority of my life. For reasons unknown, I seemed to have lost some of the magic along the way. Your channel has brought the magic back. Thank you bro, keep up the outstanding work!
If I ever start to forget why I fell in love with music all it takes is a quick visit with Jamel to remind me. Your reactions are so pure and beautiful. Thank ya friend!
Great jam Jamel, We all need great music in our lives and the Grateful Dead always deliver. Lets do 365 days of Dead songs, then we will do 365 more brother. Joy, Peace and Love
Every time I hear this version I have to sit down and it brings me to tears ❤️🔥 thank you brotha for what you do . Keep up the good work and spreading the good message
Exactly. At the time this concert happened, we were hearing a lot about the neutron bomb and the Cold War was heating up. Definitely a comment on the times. I remember it well because I was about to graduate from high school.
It makes me so happy to see people that don't 'partake' and still love the Dead. It's validation that their music holds up no matter how your head is set.
As a Deadhead for the past 45 years I have to admit I'm reliving the first time I heard all of these songs through watching you fall in love with Jerry and the boys. I was lucky enough to catch 24 live shows and one Jerry Garcia Band show with special guest BB King in Burlington, VT back in '83. We have always called Jerry our father. All I can say is welcome to the family my brother.
So much fun watching a clearly discerning, sensitive, open and intelligent guy find what I was lucky enough to experience many, many decades ago. Tears in my eyes. Hey, I want to buy some of those hoodies for myself, wife and as gifts-sold out. That hoodie is a big winner!!
I’ve loved this band forever. They saved my life multiple times. I named my dog after them and they are tattooed on my body. This band means so much to me since 91.
i always related these lyrics to the morning after camping at the show. all the people are gathering their things and leaving for the next show. where have all the people gone my honey??? love it so much. love is real not fade away brother Jamel
He need to hear some Bobby songs sometime folks! Someone turn him onto a good Throwing Stone or Weather report. He sounds like he likes the Phil bombs so how about some Box of Rain. (~);}

Just sit back and let Jerry and the band envelop your soul like the morning sun rising.
J is the best reactor out there, and this is one of his best. He emerses himself and is able to get the gist of the song on his first listen. For many of us oldies, watching J brings us back to those times when we first “got into” a song or band. And he does it with so much love, brotherhood, feeling and humbleness - you just have to pay him much respect. Having a bad day, listen to some J!
Wonderful comment, brother. Love to you and yours, to all.
Totally. He does a phenomenal job of capturing the essence of the song, the lyrics, the vibe, even the fans. And yes, that’s why anyone is watching reaction videos - to kind of regain/retain some of that feeling of what they originally felt when they first came across the music and became obsessed with whatever it is.
So powerful words can't even describe it.
Great choice Jamal. This was the period with Keith Godchaux on the keys. He was in the band from 1971-79. The 70s were prime Dead for me. Brent joined in 1979. You also need to dive into the period with Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. He was in the band from 1965-72. He sadly passed away in 1973 at age 27.
He needs to do a Hurts Me Too or a Hard To Handle!!
Great suggestion. The Hard to Handle from the Yale Bowl (07/31/71), available on Complete Road Trips, is one of the great Dead performances. Pigeon rips it up on vocals and Garcia's solo towards the end is one of my favourite solos of all time. Awesome stuff.
I go to Church at least weekly. This is as close as rock and roll gets to that level.
I see Jamel and Cornell I click I'm a simple man but a happy man. Stay blessed everybody we got this.
IT IS A COMPLETE PLEASURE AND JOY SEEING YOU GETTING LOST IN GRATEFUL DEAD TUNES. AND THIS ONE IS A JEM IN EVERY DEADHEAD'S COLLECTION. YOUR SOUL SHINES THRU IN YOUR FACE AS YOU RIDE THE MUSIC.
Watching you experience the beauty and spectacle that is The Grateful Dead makes me feel all the goodness and love. Thank you!
Cornell 77 is a classic show, every song a winner. Row Jimmy is a beauty.
From Row Jimmy on is where it goes from a good 77 show to legendary
Row jimmy row….
Niiiiice!!!!!
"Stella Blue"...5 days later. 5/13/1977
Auditorium Theatre. Listened to that yesterday. My hometown at the time. Got to see 3 May ‘77 shows: Barton Hall and both Auditorium shows. I was about to recommend this Stella Blue to someone.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’m sure I’ve heard it a bunch but you made me pull up re-listen I’ve been itching for a good Stella lately. Thanks.
@@augustwest5273 The whole is amazing, but the outro is beyond belief!
Great call!
I Second that emotion-- great thought. Named my daughter after it, middle name
I remember peaking on mushrooms while listening to this. You really can’t describe the feeling but I do remember crying from pure and utter joy!
Why eat.a.f ew stems and.caps? And see colors... When we can eat the whole bag and see jerrymylitus Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
GREAT VERSION AND SHOW!!!
This show is in the Library of Congress, which has been said was THE BEST SHOW THE GRATEFUL DEAD PLAYED ...
IMHO They have some from this tour that are TRULY Magical
Love your reactions you you GET IT
What's so amazing to me about this tune is that it's so wide open, but yet every space is filled with just the right amount of instrumentation. Masterful.
I know I’m late to this party but that’s my favorite thing about the dead. The beauty of their musicianship is that they truly listen to each other on stage. None of them are trying to play the loudest solo or steal the spotlight. They each have so much to offer and they all provide the space for each other to bring it to the table, creating such mind-blowing collectives of incredibly rich musical tapestries built on a foundation of deceptively simple structure. Some of their greatest performances come from songs entirely based around two or three chords, and it gives them all a LOT of room to really work with it and find their groove. “Fire on the Mountain” from this same show is a prime example. Just two chords, but the song is stretched to 15 minutes with an explosive ending. Absolute masters of their craft, each and every one of them.
Totally. It doesn’t really matter anyway.
❤️⚡️💙⚡️❤️
One of the interesting aspects of going to Dead concert was that no matter how many you went, they were all completely different. Even on the same tour, every night different songs and even the songs that were the same were different versions!
I feel this is the greatest Morning Dew ever played and watching you discover it like this is like watching my emotions embodied out in the world. So glad you enjoyed, brother Jamel!
You know you're in a zone when you can hear all the instruments separately yet simultaneously.
well put...….especially when you are sans substances! I used to intentionally do that at shows...…..JERRY ALIVE shows!
@@Themin1 right on! I've been sans substances 17+ years! I hear so much more now!
@@gerizkid Good to be FREE! Since I don't do D & C much. I loved to create my own WALL OF SOUND!
So Grateful to have had them in my life
7:17 your eyes at the start of the solo. That is the reason I listen to this music. That is IT. There is nothing like IT.
Thank you for showing more of the world this light in the darkness. Love and Joy for sure in light of the difficult subject matter of this cover song. One of Jerry's favorites
The RESPECT you have for GOOD music makes me SMILE, SMILE, SMiLE!!!
Morning dew a term associated with the aftermath of a nuclear explosion.. ie the next morning the young mother is trying to explain to her child .. then realizes the futility and out they go .. Bonnie Dobson wrote it
This demonstrates the ability this band had to go from a whisper to a ROAR. There were many transcendent moments of musical melange for the adventuresome and persistent patrons of America's finest Rock n Roll Blues Country Folk Jam Band.
The moments of magic were worth the trip from anywhere. As Sunshines bumper stickers said it so perfectly. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GRATEFUL DEAD CONCERT.
Between 1973 and 1995 I managed to catch over 450 Dead shows and 75+ Jerry shows and yes even Kingfish. I went pro in 82. I couldn't find anything better to do..
Morning Dew Europe '72 is even more magical. Jerry even cried while playing the solo
Europe 72 is hard to fuck with
I would love to sit with Jamel over a few beers listening to all the great music and talking about it. He is like the best big brother everyone wishes the had. Love you, brother.
Mike Brady
Always enjoyed likening this song to the day after the show, literally walking around in morning dew after camping, coming down (or not) the next morning. Remembering everything that was experienced the night before, expanded things seen and heard, the show, and coming back into orbit. After all the craziness, and trying to make sense of it all...it doesn’t matter anyway. ❤️
That's great!
Nice!
Been there. Great place.
Haha. Back in the 80’s , I would think of Music never stopped as time just passed by and after the show I would think “were they ever here at all”
That is the ONE! It builds relentlessly and drops you off spent. Glad you’re enjoying your Deaducation!! Summer tours 89-91 were my intro.
Raw power, beauty and awe generated w/o gadgets, gizmos, computers and other jazzed up tricks...just pure magic of the Grateful Dead.
I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see people get turned on to the music we've loved so dearly for so long. Much luv brother
I've heard this so often, and I still get the chills every time
Said to be the best show ever performed by Grateful Dead
Wish he would have reviewed the Saint Steven/Not Fade away back into Saint Steven off that show.
I wish thia wouldve been caught on video. Closing of the wiknterland has a great version ad well.
Depending which day you ask me, my favorite is either this or Veneta '72
5/8/77 is a great show indeed. But if you really deep dive into the band's live concerts, there are lots of shows just as good. And many shows even better.
Most available and very clean in the trading community. As far as best, there are lots. Me personally, I dig 11/17/73.
Echoing everyone else - it's great to watch your face as you "get" it. The first time I went to a Dead show I was in awe - I didn't understand how it could make me feel the way it did. I wish you could've been in the parking lot and then in a show. you would have loved it. And it would've loved YOU right back!
Oh, the Cornell Dew!!! A classic, amongst classics...
Thank you for your openness & passion for "authentic" music. As one Black brother to another, "respect, love, justice, & peace"! A subscriber!
Can’t wait to see jamel at a show.
Without Jerry, It's not the same. In fact, its not even close
Go anyway and keep up with old shows too
Closest I made it to Jerry was 95 lot in ATL and some beautiful Rose dose- a single hit 2nd hand off my buddy's tongue had me tripping harder by a million than 2 tabs of local Athens Demon Point THE NIGHT BEFORE. But I didnt want to try to go in cuz I didnt wan a jinx it by thinking I wouldnt get another chance...
Right that would be awesome!
@@mrcorn9672 No one is claiming that it is the same
immediate like, haven't even listened yet. Barton Hall Dew is one of the greatest moments in imaginary music history. Morning Dew is a fabulous tune and this was one of the best versions of it.
Wow , i had no idea.... how he strokes this song with his voice and Guitar in the beginning. As if he would be afraid to touch it. And how they go all out in the end. Love it. What a Jam.(and Gem)
I feel the magic feel the love feel the loss still brings tears to my eyes
The impact of your channel can’t be overstated for me. As a musician, music was magical and a staple for the majority of my life. For reasons unknown, I seemed to have lost some of the magic along the way. Your channel has brought the magic back. Thank you bro, keep up the outstanding work!
Such a great call with, "The Book of Eli" post apocalyptic reference. You nailed it!
Ha👍 you got it. Nuclear winter
What a long strange trip it’s been
Welcome my brother
Jamel nailed it indeed!
Down the rabbit hole of the grateful dead!!!! Let's do this.
My all time favorite Morning Dew. Heard it hundreds of times and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Truly incredible
Nice to see ANOTHA brotha fall head over heels in love with this band!
If I ever start to forget why I fell in love with music all it takes is a quick visit with Jamel to remind me. Your reactions are so pure and beautiful. Thank ya friend!
You picked a solid Dew.
It’s a pleasure to hear again and as always, to see how it speaks to you. Thanks Jamel
Great jam Jamel, We all need great music in our lives and the Grateful Dead always deliver. Lets do 365 days of Dead songs, then we will do 365 more brother. Joy, Peace and Love
Hell yeah Jamel. You picked a great one today.
This version gives me chills every time. I want it played at my funeral. Such a moving version. Cheers to you 💜
Every time I hear this version I have to sit down and it brings me to tears ❤️🔥 thank you brotha for what you do . Keep up the good work and spreading the good message
"You don't even have to know what the 'it' is, but you're gonna feel it." No one has ever said it better Jamel 💖
Its like they were all at their own concert and then it all came together. You get it so much my brother.✌✌✌✌✌
They opened with “Jack Straw” and played a very rich and colorful “Morning Dew” my first show, Astroworld, Summer of ‘84. I’ll never forget it.
The smile forming at 2:15 is why we are all here ✌🏻
I wish there were more humans like you in the world. All my love and respect.
Think post nuclear holocaust. Last surviving couple having a conversation. Bonnie Dobson wrote it as a nuclear protest song.
Actually written by Bonnie Dobson. You are correct about the context of the song!
@@mikerider6519 Yeah, I don't know where that came from, lol. I changed it. Thanks.
Exactly. At the time this concert happened, we were hearing a lot about the neutron bomb and the Cold War was heating up. Definitely a comment on the times. I remember it well because I was about to graduate from high school.
It makes me so happy to see people that don't 'partake' and still love the Dead. It's validation that their music holds up no matter how your head is set.
Yes! I was thinking that watching this. I've been clean and sober a long time. I hear more in the music now than when I was using.
Proud Wharf Rat
@@brucegrossman3531 Stay strong!
Me just sitting here on the other side of the screen, grinning right back at 'ya.
Peace grateful we able to enjoy this wonderful grand piece of music in this day and age ✌️✌️✌️. Pure energy!
As a Deadhead for the past 45 years I have to admit I'm reliving the first time I heard all of these songs through watching you fall in love with Jerry and the boys. I was lucky enough to catch 24 live shows and one Jerry Garcia Band show with special guest BB King in Burlington, VT back in '83. We have always called Jerry our father. All I can say is welcome to the family my brother.
So much fun watching a clearly discerning, sensitive, open and intelligent guy find what I was lucky enough to experience many, many decades ago. Tears in my eyes. Hey, I want to buy some of those hoodies for myself, wife and as gifts-sold out. That hoodie is a big winner!!
Highly recommend Brokedown Palace, one of their best slow jams. Another Hunter/Garcia masterpiece.
I was going to suggest the same
I’ve loved this band forever. They saved my life multiple times. I named my dog after them and they are tattooed on my body. This band means so much to me since 91.
Same here Joe. Since 78.
@@Trishmarie122 Ditto. 1973
I'm fully marinated.. every time I hear this song, I notice something new, every time
I find peace,sweetness,love in Jerry’s voice..now I find peace lookin n listening to u …keep them comin..♥️
This is one of those songs you can listen to a hundred times and always pick up on something new that you missed before!
i always related these lyrics to the morning after camping at the show. all the people are gathering their things and leaving for the next show. where have all the people gone my honey??? love it so much. love is real not fade away brother Jamel
He need to hear some Bobby songs sometime folks! Someone turn him onto a good Throwing Stone or Weather report. He sounds like he likes the Phil bombs so how about some Box of Rain. (~);}
I know, I've been hoping for a Throwing Stones reaction for a while, and some Pigpen and Phil too. Easy Wind, Box Of Rain, Unbroken Chain.
An OG pigpen lovelight
Yes! Box of Rain & Throwing Stones.
T.O.O!!!!!! .....so Jamel will know why he says he's now on the bus. Time for The Other One!!!!
Does Dark Star>El Paso count as a Bobby song🤔. Lol but he should definitely check some Bobby songs out. And some Pigpen, maybe an OG Lovelight
I am so very pleased to have another clearly kind human on the bus with us. Love from Louisville, Brother.
