I don't know if ya'll play the instrument, but I find Jerry to be one of the most difficult players to keep up with. If one tries to play along with him, pretty soon he'll be leaving you behind, scratching your head. I'm not the biggest Dead Head, but I'm an absolute fan of Jerry Garcia's guitar skills.
@@cicadagodking absolutely, Jerry technically knew scales but associated the sound of blues ,country , and the dorian/mixolydian jazz approach to playing with the feeling of the sounds. All great guitarists seem to have the ability to reject the common cliches, and go thier own way. it doesn't really matter if they are fast or slow, that is not what makes them great . Some of my buddies who play metal and hard rock and also some jazz actually reject the Dead and Allman Brothers . it's actually funny Jerry looked at fame as a necessary evil, that he didn't actually like, he was able to see through the BIZ and just play. A players like Page Beck, Blackmore and Iommi also have the ability to play riffs you have never heard before
i was staying in the florida panhandle around winter 93 or 94 and met some heads hitchin down 30a picked them up turned them on to a meal a shower and a roof for the night. what a wonderful night. they gifted me a jgb bootleg and 25 or so years later i still love it. every time i hear this song it takes me back. what a jam
@@krisdemars1355 peace thanks for the breakfast tune! chills this early in the day bode well. all tore up skippin some shows this week but rocking soon enough. jerry's not playing but when the music and light and scene hit me right the band can still make me feel like im falling in love for the first time.
This was my birthday show, and I was there! The show was incredible, a night I will never forget. Was woken up by barking seals the next morning somewhere on a beach near Monterey Bay.
1spindrah ✨🌛✨🌝✨WoW !!!!!✨☀️🌬💨🌊You lucky Human, You ! You have described what the transition into Heaven would be for me ! Right down to waking up on the beach in Monterey; only difference is, as I am waking up, I am opening my eyes and they are slowly, soft-focusing to a friendly, playful, cutie of a seal ! I am totally tripping on how calm the bay is! It’s like 5:46am and the colours of the sky is playing off and reflected by the water. I am standing now and my new friend, the sweetest, adorable little [ relatively ] seal is there beside me totally insinct with my wonder of how 🌻✨Beautiful!🌈✨ everything is ! I look over at my friend and he/ she is so cute and seems like they are smiling, I would say even gigiling with me too! I am so Blown- Away that I start thanking God, that He can just take me now, life can’t get any better than this !... Then my friend interrupts me by transforming into some theatre guy in long robes, no it’s Saint Peter, no its John Cleese as St. Peter, no it really is St.Peter [ who looks exactly like John Cleese & really sounds like him, too ] and he says we are on the precipice that opens to Heaven. He pulls out this pinky/ mauve, velvet satchle, and He shakes it up and asks me to draw out a question from the bag. If I can answer it, my little friend and myself will be entering paradise today. [ There are more animal souls than human souls in paradise! ] I hand him my lot and He asks me, “ what is your favourite colour ?” I say that’s it, I can say anything? He says, “ Sure.” That’s all I can remember. Sorry about my drawn out story. I really dreamt that, I was so tripping when you mentioned this. And it really happened to you ! Man, that is so WiLD !!! ~ Take Care! [ By the way, I dreamt this shortly after Jerry passed. I was so stressed, I was dreaming so many really intense, and so vivid dreams that are burned into my brain. They were like medicine me; I felt giddy & hopeful, even though I woke up to reality. ~🌼✨Keep- the-dream, Bitter-Sweet✨🌼 Love & Blessings!🕉🙏🏼☯️☮️♒️✨⛅️🌤☀️🌈✨⚡️
Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock Come on baby, it's time to rock I'm so happy I've got you here Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear Ooh wee This feeling's killing me Oh, shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks I love you so Just hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go, don't let go) (Don't let go, don't let go) Thunder, lightning, wind and rain Love is humming inside my brain There's one thing baby, that keeps me crying You been keeping your lips from mine Ooh wee This feeling's killing me Oh, shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks I love you so Just hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go, don't let go) (Don't let go, don't let go) (Don't let go, don't let go) Hound dog barking upside the hill (Don't let go, don't let go) Love is dragging him through the mill (Don't let go, don't let go) If it wasn't for having you (Don't let go, don't let go) I'd be barking and a-hollering too (Don't let go, don't let go) Ooh wee This feeling's killing me Oh, shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks I love you so Just hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go, don't let go) (Don't let go, don't let go) Someday baby, I'll get you yet (Don't let go, don't let go) I'll be hollering, soaking wet (Don't let go, don't let go) One thing baby, I'll never stand (Don't let go, don't let go) Your lips kissing some other man (Don't let go, don't let go) Ooh wee This feeling's killing me Oh, shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks I love you so Just hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go, don't let go) Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go, don't let go)
The call and response between Jerry, Melvin, and the ladies is phenomenal-you can't deny the weariness of working on the land in their voices and the joy found in having a loved one in your life-and the pain that can come from it.
Same brother this is always my go to when I’m feeling down something about hearing Jerry hit the first lines “come on baby it’s 6 o clock!” Gets me every time 👍
to the thousand or so people at that magical May afternoon at the Waikiki Shell in 1990 with the trade winds blowing thru Kapiolani park, we witnessed music and a vibe that was truly a gift . Thank you Jerry....

I'm not waiting for you. I have you in my life already. You give me all I need and want. You are a blessing and I'm grateful for you just the way you are or I would have left you years ago... You are right with me and I failed to see. Took you for granted and I am sorry. You are the best thing that happened to me and I Love You R. ❤❤❤ You are enough for me JUST THE WAY YOU ARE... SO BEAUTIFUL... YOUR SOUL IS FIERCE As a Lion and Pure as a Puppy !!!
I used to hang around the keystone palo alto in the early 80s and it was so beautiful and interesting to see history in the making...Judy Collins WOW..Norton Buffalo..Yikes ha ha David Nelson and Marmaduke...and Garcia at least twice a month...Bill K. drumming slot .. John Kahn always on point..and being from upstate NY. The gracious wonderful CA girls!!!!
I most definitely won't let go I have faith in you,,,,,,,,, you showed be for and didn't know what you had to go through to pull it off,,,,,, but you did now I see the strength in your spirit a true warrior I'm proud of you ❤❤
Un grandissimo, che ha fatto la storia del Rock, scomparso prematuramente e immeritatamente sottovalutato dal pubblico. E anche da certa "critica" cosiddetta esperta. :-|
This went from a nice stroll in the park to , someone started running faster and faster into the dark woods and eventually was entombed in the swamp. It really got freaky after the beginning
"lost sailor " l liked it alot, it is excellent to sail! also while u were singing those words r true cause u don't know where u r sailing off 2! "bob" it was a awesome song! then "jerry" joined in! it rocks!
Best Musician around... listen to that solo with the vocal work going on around 4:01 smokes!!!!...and then the trade of with the keys...no one make the guitar sing like Jerry !!!
Filthy huge killer jam that they really get out there on and it never even comes close to sounding like they are lost or on different pages or just noodling its a flawlessly orchestrated rendition of organized chaos slipped neatly into the song dont let go...right before the last verse............for ten minutes!!!!😋😛😜🤪😝🤔🤔🤔😬😬😬🙄🙄🤫🤫🤫😬😬👹👹😈😈👹👺👺👿🤡👹👹🤡👽👽💀💀💀☠☠☠☠😮😯😲😪😪😪☺☺😅🤣🤣😂😅🤣😆😁😄😃😀....must of been the doses!!!

nothing like a religion, religions have very authoritarian rules, are exempted from payin taxes, are super invested in growth, disingenuous means of recruitment and endless promotion and marketing to raise their head count and pursue achieving self interested political agendas. Tell me how the Dead did any of those?
I love it. You know theory and can follow what they're doing! As a musician, I appreciate that.. However, ya gotta give it to 'em... It's off the cuff. They call it 'playing music' for a reason.
Hold my hand don't let Go ❤❤
This is the one that's stuck in your head five hours later while you're laying in bed trying to fall asleep.
Don’t let go, don’t let go!
just let it go bro.🤣
you somehow described the past 2 months of my life
This is what you play when you and your baby each snort 30 mg of 2 CB
🎶Just hold me close and dont let go🎶
Dont let go dont let go
Absolutely
I love how Jerry took the simplest melodies and turned them into launching pads for deep sonic exploration
that's what makes him the best
Jerry is a creative genius

Happy Belated Birthday !!!! 🌈
A story of a lifetime....cool..🎶🎵🌹
lucky you
This song makes me almost convulse with excitement when I hear Jer playin it...c'mon baby, it's time to ROCK!
Wow - no rain in the Bay Area for months and on this day, Jerry's 80th birthday, I stumble onto this recording and it starts to drizzle -
My favorite part of the song is 0:00-15:43
Gonna have to agree with you there
@@eggman615 me x3
I've tried to like this comment so many times only to realize I already did
I hate the part at 15:43 where it ends
I dunno man, that crowd noise from 15:41-15:43 is kind of a bummer.
Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock
Come on baby, it's time to rock
I'm so happy I've got you here
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear
Ooh wee
This feeling's killing me
Oh, shucks
I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so
Just hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Thunder, lightning, wind and rain
Love is humming inside my brain
There's one thing baby, that keeps me crying
You been keeping your lips from mine
Ooh wee
This feeling's killing me
Oh, shucks
I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so
Just hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
(Don't let go, don't let go)
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Hound dog barking upside the hill
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Love is dragging him through the mill
(Don't let go, don't let go)
If it wasn't for having you
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'd be barking and a-hollering too
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Ooh wee
This feeling's killing me
Oh, shucks
I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so
Just hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Someday baby, I'll get you yet
(Don't let go, don't let go)
I'll be hollering, soaking wet
(Don't let go, don't let go)
One thing baby, I'll never stand
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Your lips kissing some other man
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Ooh wee
This feeling's killing me
Oh, shucks
I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so
Just hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Hold me tight and don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Love this. One of the songs my husband sent me when we were dating. He sent it to me again today 💖💕💘
The call and response between Jerry, Melvin, and the ladies is phenomenal-you can't deny the weariness of working on the land in their voices and the joy found in having a loved one in your life-and the pain that can come from it.
"weariness of working on the land" lmao
aw shucks.......any song that has jerry singing aw shucks is a good, no, a great song!! one of my favorites of all time!!!
indeed
I totally agree and everytime I play it and sing that lyric I just chuckle
Yesssss!
i swear this is the best shit on the street
OMG! When Jerry and Melvin play back and forth the looks on Jerry's face❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ran into john scher at chevy dealership few years ago love u man
Amen
Don't Let Go !!
Speakers cranked......
Grinnin' from ear to ear...
Aw, shucks ♥️
When Jer & Mel start trading licks back & forth @ 4:30 is enough to make me cry. God I miss him!!😥
Agreed, the smiles between the 2 are priceless
Melvin Seals - organ. Not Merl
He said mel. Not merl
Daily bub I'm filled with such great emotions hearing his voice and when he shreds, well I've been known to shed tears of Joy
My thoughts as well so much joy ❤️
Awesome show I was there and remember it well, best times of my life
My go to, when I am depressed

The master
Love this iteration of the band.
JGB was better than the Dead! My opinion! LOVE IT!!!
I'm starting to appreciate the JGB more and more.
I say the dead is incomparable, but JGB compares.
after brent died, JGB often better than the dead.
@@TheCarterCO That sounds right!
Miles better. Jgb was church. Tighter, looser no bobby anarchy.
Two different animals but, Jerry did have more room to groove.
Love watching Jerry play the guitar 👍🏻👍🏻
nothing like Live Dead Jerry Garcia Band Rat Dog Shows Rock On It's Timeless
Best Shows Ever!!!
Dont ya love some of these vids of GD or JGB when its obvious that Jer is having fun? That little sideways grin has always been special to me!

Love the spacey jam on "Don" Let Go". Reminds me a bit of the jam intro to Franklin"s Tower.
What a tasty freaking jam! That interplay is legendary

Right after Brent died. Hard to watch for that but oh so worth it.
i still cant tell whoes best trey or jerry imimpartial because i loved them both
This is like a religion
Amen
nothing like a religion, religions have very authoritarian rules, are exempted from payin taxes, are super invested in growth, disingenuous means of recruitment and endless promotion and marketing to raise their head count and pursue achieving self interested political agendas. Tell me how the Dead did any of those?

Better , much much better😁

Amazing ❤
Come on Melvin

ya know bout Gloria n T Rex?
@@frankdracman4084 This is a different Gloria Jones. I do know about the other Gloria Jones who was with T-Rex and about the tragic car accident.
I just sent this song to GOD>>>…! Yes I did....I hope He Likes it....
Did u see what goaaaaayd just did man !?
@Alejandro Gojon I'm actually a bot ... yup not a real person
@Alejandro Gojon eee oooop boop bleep bloop
pro shot shoreline. originally booked as GD before brent death
I was there. Had tickets for both Shoreline Dead shows. Really happy Jerry played one of them.
the jazz triad arrangement starting around 12 minutes in is phenomenal!
I love it. You know theory and can follow what they're doing! As a musician, I appreciate that.. However, ya gotta give it to 'em... It's off the cuff. They call it 'playing music' for a reason.
