The Grateful Dead often start with one song, and then transition to another song halfway through, and then maybe go into an extended improvisational jam, just to come back and finish with the original song, without ever missing a beat 👍😎
I think you understand why the Grateful Dead is my favorite band. The members take a number and make it soar. There are bands that play with more finesse and perfection, but none with more heart. The Dead loved its fans and that love was reciprocated in force. I was lucky enough to see the Dead several times and I never get tired of listening to them. And you, my dear, would have fit in beautifully at any of their concerts!
Not Fade Away was written by Buddy Holly back in the 1950's. It is a rock and roll classic. Goin Down The Road is a traditional blues song adapted by the Dead.
I was blessed to have been invited by my mom’s friend to a Grateful Dead concert at The Fillmore East in 1968 (I was 12!). They were the headlining act, and the opening act was the DEBUT of the now iconic band The Allman Brothers! Oh my gosh, an amazing concert. Another band that played was called, LOVE, but I never heard of them again. There was a light show called Joshua Light Show…also new. I was the youngest hippie there! 😂 And, wow, lucky my mom agreed to let me go!!
Listening to GD since my first show in 79. Been to dozens of shows on many tours, but tonight I am vicariously living through you! I’m getting joy from the joy on your face. “Wait a minute. That’s another song”. You’re the best!!
There is an almost never ending supply of great versions of Grateful Dead songs to choose from. For a straight musical journey noone did it better. Them and the Beatles will always be the greatest in my book.
At several shows i went to the boys tailed off from not fade away and let the crowd continue singing the chorus for 5 minutes ... till the boys came back on stage and finished the show.
You must go to see Dead & Company, definitely not like in the days of original Dead, but good vibes through and through. You just keep on keeping good music living!! Much love and success to you ❤❤❤!
My favorite band. I’m a Deadhead since 1972 & this album, and especially these 2 songs, are a big reason. There’s plenty of live albums out there by them, so dive deep & enjoy. Awesome reaction, you would have loved attending a live show.✌️❤️🎶
I just stumbled on this and it's amazing how it took me back to when I first heard it when I was about 18. Thank you for reminding me how fun this music can be the first time you hear it. I forgot how much Bobby was driving the train on this album.
according to Woody Guthrie, who was interviewed by Alan Lomax around the time of "The Grapes of Wrath" 1940 film about the depression based on Steinbeck novel. GDTRFB was a favorite among the migrants and he said the song was written by an escaped slave in the 1860s complaining about his treatment in the "free" north. He was returning south where the weather was at least warmer.
First time I saw the Dead was 1970, and I was so high from them that it was 30 minutes in and I thought they were still tuning up to play! Suddenly, the folding chairs were in a big pile on the floor, and everyone was dancing!
Thank you for your great reaction. One of the great things about The Dead is illustrated here: these songs are both covers. But The Dead make it their own. And even better: each live performance is different.
Hands down the best concert I ever went to: New Year’s Eve Oakland early to mid 80 s. The Dead played until almost sunrise. The wall of sound was being used. We all stumbled out of the auditorium to be greeted by their crew handing out little breakfast snacks in brown paper bags!
Great covers by the legendary Grateful Dead. Not Fade Away was written by Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away (1957) and "Going Down The Road Feeling Bad" (also known as the "Lonesome Road Blues") is a traditional American folk song, "a white blues of universal appeal and uncertain origin".
With the Grateful Dead there were six, or so, musicians on the stage, and they were each doing something different, but with a central theme going that made it all work. Wish you could have been there to experience the feel of a show. The recordings are great, but the feeling in the arena was irreplaceable. Sarah you would have fit right in with us Heads.
What you are hearing is a recording done so well that you have a sonic 3D map of the band members. Each instrument and voice is where it would be if you were at the concert standing at the soundboard. Jerry is on the left, Bobby in the middle, and Phil on the right. And this was over 50 years ago. Boggles the mind.
best band ever. The crazy thing is when you've listened to them enough you will catch the first moment someone drops a phrase from the next song and you just know deep down we're goin' down the road felling bad now... 🍄
I did Bears acid in 1971 when I asked Jerry if I could sit behind the amps and he let me and I found Beer dropping liquid acid on the back of people’s hands and then they licked it off. I stuck my hand out and he put four big drops on it and I licked it off. Bear hooked me up with his local dealers. I have to be one of a small number of people that had this experience.⚡️🎸⚡️
Sarah, I have good/bad declaration for you only as a best friend can give. You are in grave danger of being a Grateful Dead addict. No lie. What is good about it is you don't have to take any drugs or alcohol to get 'hooked'. That was why there were Deadheads following them around for over 20 years yet they only had one top ten single. Experts could not figure out why. Each concert was different, each time they played an old song, it was different yet it worked, like in jazz. Two weeks ago I found out there is a new style of music which will give you a high only from the music and the Grateful Dead was one of the originators. Part of it is they have two drummers playing different rhythms giving a hypnotic effect. Young girls in Bali can perform acrobatics under the spell, they can't do in a normal state. Some experts say it is because of the tones, but I don't buy it. I know the Dead spent a fortune experimenting to get their unique sound exactly right using new equipment no one else had. Also to blend the different styles of country, rock, folk, blue grass, blues and so forth shouldn't go under looked. At a concert, if one member hit a groove and the audience reacted, they'd allow him to adlib but they kept eye contact and agree to come back on to the main track and finish the song. On our local jukebox there are 2,300 recordings of their songs. Every musician enjoyed playing with them if they were in town at the same time. Bob Dylan called Jerry Garcia his brother and said Jerry taught him so much about the guitar, for instance.
Saw them once in 1979 New Haven after I’d long renounced “hippy bullshit 🎶 “ in favor of punk rock…I went out of my way to criticize the show/band…but fine music is like fine wine ,,,just gets better with age….
Hello Sarah, its almost Rememderance Day, November 11, here in Canada and I would like to see you react to the song "Highway of Heroes" (th-cam.com/video/QrkgV5bl7kQ/w-d-xo.html) by The Trews, a group from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. This song was writen after a friend of some of the band members from their school days was killed in Afghanistan and took her journey on Canada's Highway of Heroes (th-cam.com/video/Uc6t6HLt7vA/w-d-xo.html) . We in Canada remember and respect sacrifices made for our freedoms and will never forget!
that combo was always a lot of fun... the version you listened to is an "official" one and is.... cute // why not try a combo done in September of 1987 - Playing in NYC's Madison Square Garden - the dead laid this on us for fun one night - enjoy (Good Lovin' > La Bamba > Good Lovin'!) th-cam.com/video/v6FaOqv22Ds/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lO6Be5wWzOLmj4i9
If you are looking for great examples of songs perfectly transition - check out China Cat Sunflower into I Know Your Rider (Europe 72), or Scarlett Begonias into Fire on the Mountain (Dead set), or Help on the Way into Slipknot into Franklins Tower (Blues for Allah or One From the Vault). There is no way you do that and not come out a huge fan of the Grateful Dead
lay down my dear brothers lay down and take your rest oh won't you lay your head down upon your saviors breast I love you well But Jesus loves you the best And I bid you Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Phil
The Grateful Dead often start with one song, and then transition to another song halfway through, and then maybe go into an extended improvisational jam, just to come back and finish with the original song, without ever missing a beat 👍😎
Not to mention the 4.5-hour shows
You're getting it girl, Grateful Dead, Happy music, Fun fun times at Dead shows, Dance and be happy
Then there's nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile. 😊

With the original title of Lonesome Road Blues

Delaney from Delaney & Bonnie taught Jerry this tune on 1970 Festival Express tour
Great reaction Sarah to my favorite Grateful Dead tandem of songs!!! 👍
There is nothing like a Grateful Dead show! ⚡️💀🌹
Yeah if never experienced one there's no way any one could describe what it's like
Thanks for the reaction. We could all use more Grateful Dead in our lives.
Great reaction. Thanks! I have the full uncut version of this concert among my more than 4,000 Grateful Dead bootlegs
There is an almost never ending supply of great versions of Grateful Dead songs to choose from. For a straight musical journey noone did it better. Them and the Beatles will always be the greatest in my book.
Facts
Yes, what a back to back couple of songs! Ain't it just like life 😂
Having 2 drummers always made the place rock ! One of Mikey and Bills duets ,was worth their salt .Not fade away was always a favorite for me
I saw the Dead in Buffalo at a fieldhouse. The fans folded the stairs and the house instantly became a dance floor full of tripping Dead Heads 🍁🙏🍁
'The shortest nine minutes of my life'. That expression perfectly captures the truth of the Grateful Dead & Jerry Garcia!
She is so pretty thanks for the reaction have a lovely night
The 'Dead' were, are, and will ever remain, sonic joy. Great choice!
Thank you for dancing with me!
That's what I'm talking about😎🎸🎸🎸🎸.
At several shows i went to the boys tailed off from not fade away and let the crowd continue singing the chorus for 5 minutes ... till the boys came back on stage and finished the show.
I love this live album! I knew I would love the Grateful Dead the minute Spiro Agnew said-We will be grateful when their dead.
Cheers to your journey, peace❤❤❤❤❤
Never gets old!!
You must go to see Dead & Company, definitely not like in the days of original Dead, but good vibes through and through. You just keep on keeping good music living!! Much love and success to you ❤❤❤!

Two of my favorite tunes of all time.. and the right version of them as well.. thanks for sharing.

Superb Band & music. Cheers

@@dstonetprs the wall of sound wasn’t used in the 80’s
@ I stand corrected! Thanks. Nonetheless still the best concert I’ve been to.

I love your review but I love the children’s laughter in the background even more

This is from April 1971 - Keith would join 6 months later, and Donna a few months after that…
@@mikeweber5416Yeah, I thought I heard no Donna or Keith on this.
@@mikeweber5416 fixed it. It wasn't important to the point I was making. I didn't really think about it.

Boogie on SugarMagnolia.
Great Buddy Holly cover
Two's and sometimes three songs always were put together at concerts. Looks like your enjoying the fast and slow G-dead grooves.
Sarah, you should check out "Steel Magnolia", also by the Grealful Dead. You will love it. Have a wonderful day beautiful lady.😊
Um..."Sugar Magnolia" dude. But you already knew that. Right On!
Not Fade Away sung by Buddy Holly inthe 50's, covered by the Rolling Stones in the 60's. And the Grateful Dead keeping it alive.
this song uses the famous Bo Diddleys beat
Just dance and be happy
Mexicali Blues and Sugar Magnolia are a couple more to check out.
Johnny Renshaw loves SD and GD. NFA❤❤

They used what they called suites which dtart with one song transition to others and come back to the first song withiut a break
twirler in the making
Sarah,
I have good/bad declaration for you only as a best friend can give.
You are in grave danger of being a Grateful Dead addict. No lie. What is good about it is you
don't have to take any drugs or alcohol to get 'hooked'. That was why there were Deadheads
following them around for over 20 years yet they only had one top ten single. Experts could not
figure out why. Each concert was different, each time they played an old song, it was different
yet it worked, like in jazz. Two weeks ago I found out there is a new style of music which will
give you a high only from the music and the Grateful Dead was one of the originators.
Part of it is they have two drummers playing different rhythms giving a hypnotic effect.
Young girls in Bali can perform acrobatics under the spell, they can't do in a normal state.
Some experts say it is because of the tones, but I don't buy it. I know the Dead spent a fortune
experimenting to get their unique sound exactly right using new equipment no one else had.
Also to blend the different styles of country, rock, folk, blue grass, blues and so forth shouldn't
go under looked.
At a concert, if one member hit a groove and the audience reacted, they'd allow him to adlib
but they kept eye contact and agree to come back on to the main track and finish the song.
On our local jukebox there are 2,300 recordings of their songs. Every musician enjoyed playing

HI SARAH- AS AN OLD VIET NAM VET AND VETERANS DAY BEING TOMORROW CAN YOU REACT TO - The Statler Brothers - More Than A Name On A Wall
GDTRFB-Elizabeth Cotten cover
Traditional folk song of unknown origin (Cotton wasn’t the first).
Great story though, the Dead recorded her song “Oh Babe it ain’t no lie” specifically so she would receive royalties. Phenomenal song.
@@thesecretjewishspacelaser9959 Original she asked for royalties for Sugaree. Wasn't possible so Garcia made sure she got paid for what you mentioned.
@ yea it’s been a minute since I heard the story and had forgotten that she wrote shake sugaree. Thanks!!
