For the reccord, it's an OLD blues song about Deep Ellum in Dallas, an area that was famous for blues and jazz in the old days, and an area that I both worked in and played in for years. Whether Garcia spelled it right or not is of no consequence, considering the subject matter. At any rate, this is a great song, no need to further argue about it. Cheers.
This is an old blues tune about the blues/Jazz scene in Dallas, TX. There were a bunch of blues clubs on Elm street. Due to the accents of many of the African American musicians, they pronounced Elm as Ellum, and the area became known as Deep Ellum.
For the record, the correct spelling is Deep Elem. Check out the acoustic set from DP8 (Harpur College, 5-2-70) for the BEST version. There's also a weird 1963 version of Jerry doing this song on banjo with his first wife Sara, on TH-cam.
Nice footage of this! I really always liked Kahn and never cared for all the bitchin about him and dope use and everything that goes with it. Hes a fine bassist and dated Maria Muldaur back in the day.
It was originally recorded by the Lone Star Cowboys 1935 on Bluebird records a subsidiary of RCA. There is even a bootleg recording a Bob Dylan in his early years. He was influenced by Jerry Lee Lewis's version
My last show was Atlanta just before jerry passed met a girl traded tix for a show she gave me hers I couldn't give her mine till next day she trusted me I waited all day she showed up just before show thinking I left her hanging no way she was cool a hand shake still means something

Bob is doing a GREAT harmony here!! He's been off in the past, but here? He's on fire! Just perfect harmonies Bobby! Thanks, men!
John Kahn was a MONSTER bass player. Lots of roll in him.

Damn that solo in Deep elm gives me goosebumps
The JGB played Russian River a bunch of times. Basically a stone throw from Bohemian Grove.
Thanks for all
Deep Ellum is a little district of bars in Dallas Texas. It would be the equivalent to the Tenderloin in SF.
It was originally recorded by the Lone Star Cowboys 1935 on Bluebird records a subsidiary of RCA. There is even a bootleg recording a Bob Dylan in his early years. He was influenced by Jerry Lee Lewis's version

My last show was Atlanta just before jerry passed met a girl traded tix for a show she gave me hers I couldn't give her mine till next day she trusted me I waited all day she showed up just before show thinking I left her hanging no way she was cool a hand shake still means something
Jerrys solos hit harder on acoustic for me 🤷♂️
Im very sorry I screwed up its john kohn on bass not wasserman. my bad, still give the bass man some props
why give credit to only Bob and Jerry ? Rob Wasserman was a hell of a bass player. He deserves credit too
Because that's John Kahn playing bass.....
Thought it was $15.
They giving volume discounts now?
No. No it's not. It's about Deep Ellum in Dallas. Smarten up.
