Anything from '72-'74. I have nothing against Mickey Hart but the band was better with one drummer. '72 was their peak with Keith coming in on keys. Some of the '74 shows were just rocket fuel from the first note to the last. Gimme some '74 Dead jams. Jack Straw, Eyes of the World, Playin' in the Band, Dark Star, oh baby!
Thank you for this continued effort of analyzing these songs. I love the forum. I feel like part of a community of musicians when I watch your videos. It is obvious that we all love more than just the guitar. Hope you can continue to do what you are doing.
This was my first Dead Show, summer of HS senior year! Drove up from NYC with my buddy in his dad's Lincoln Continental, Dylan and Petty played that day as well - just an AWESOME day! I remember that little tease at the top and the full opening riff like it was yesterday! Thanks for bringing it all back, and for your amazing breakdown! PEACE
Let it be known: when asked “What’s your favorite color?” (jokingly) in an interview with NME (UK), Jer replied “Red & black.” lol He had the most acerbic yet genuine sense of humor & I believe it comes thru in much of his playing & writing! Long love & long live Jerome John Garcia! 🤘✌️ “Let there be songs to fill the air”
Over the years this song just steadily grew on me. A few version I heard live, Garcias voice was pure painful emotion as he became the song. I know Garcia's voice was creaky sometimes, but I'll always love his singing regardless. Such emotional delivery, and the creaks and groans were so often, I'd even say typically, just perfect for the song and the context of the story. Emotion, pain, wins and losses, hope for redemption, so much more. Love Garcias signing always. RIP brother.
you know what i admire in you michael? next to your unbelievable contribution as a music teacher (you'r not a guitar teacher really), you have become one of my life teachers. these small things like 'you gotta commit, half in life is about showing up over and over again' is really what makes you such a beautiful wholesome person. you've become one of my idols michael, keep it up, may you and your family stay healthy and happy.
I really appreciate the way you recognize and talk about what each band member is doing, as well as what the band is doing as a whole. You're giving me info about ensemble playing that can apply to future bands I'm in. I'm glad that you're not focused only on the lead guitar. In a band setting, I'm either a rhythm guitar player or playing bass.
Strong work on these vids! I was at that 7/4/86 show with my two brothers, girlfriend and others! Drove 9 hours from Mass in dad's Ford Country Squire Wagon : ) PLEASE keep these Dead Disections coming!!! Awesome!
I'm not musically inclined on a guitar.. so I've always just sat back in the GD crowd in awe of the parade of sounds visiting my ears... You, on the other hand, have the gift of seeing all the music, chords, solos, progressions and harmonies from a musician's POV. Glad to see you are enjoying the talent the GD spread over all their fans from a different slice of bread. Love the videos! Thanks!
I'm happy for you!! These are great to enjoy and your very good at what you do and you can tell you enjoy what your doing!! Perfect situation for life man!! Happy daze ahead for you
Highly recommend checking out "The Other One"! It's a Bobby tune, and it's one of their earlier songs. If you want an amazing live version with good quality video, I'd definitely go with "Grateful Dead - The Other One (Live 1974)". It's from the Winterland shows (which I consider among their best). It also showcases Jerry's more experimental playing, as well as some slide work. A lot of what you've listened to so far would be considered his more "reserved" playing -- not saying that's a bad thing, but Jerry has many faces that you haven't yet seen ;)
PS - the only reason the suggested video has so few views is because it's a reupload. Not sure what happened to the original, but I'm glad someone thought to share it again :)
I discovered this channel about a year ago, sitting in an airport after a red eye flight. I’ve come back countless times over the past year for a shot of dopamine watching you distill the magic that these guys put through an instrument. I wish the Phish videos would come back, the Down with Disease and Divided Sky breakdowns were next level. Keep it up!
I enjoy your videos a lot . Great job!!! As a novice player who loves listening , it is nice to see someone break down the song structure while enjoying the genius of the song.
Trouble ahead, Jerry in Red. I always loved this tune, I first heard the superfast version from the debut album. The unison lead section was a tough nut for me to crack when I was starting out playing, nice to see you take it on.
I was at this show...this was pretty magic...it was broiling hot before the show...lots of people baking in the hot hot sun...the first set was kind of a little slow and flat but when they came out for the second set opener Cold Rain suddenly the breeze kicked up and there was even a little bit of sprinkle to break the heat, the kind of magic that happened at Dead shows all the time..so cool seeing you take apart these classic jams
I love Jerry Garcia and miss him every day. I was fortunate enough to hang with him several times in the '70s and '80s, especially when he was recuperating from his coma in Sebastopol, CA.. He was a special human being.
cosmo naut please do share a Jerry story or two.. it’s a gift for us all. What a blessing for you Cosmo! Jerry was a simple human like us all, but his star still shines bright in the night sky 🌌 and the music he created will carry on for generations to come.. GD forever 🌹
Went to the Michigan ice fest last week with my buddy and started to tell him about your vids. He is not a guitar player but a huge dead head as am I. I got about three sentences in and he was aware of you and your great reaction to your discovery of Jerry and the boys. Thought that was great.
Please never stop doing these ik they dont get crazy view but im a dead head and a musician and these videos really open up pandorss box for me thank you sm
I saw a bunch of cold rain and snow performances back in the day, but missed this show as I already moved to Virginia and started going to more southern shows. This version is exemplary.
First time viewer. This is great work by you. And i ordered a prs from sweetwater last weekend, so I like the gear. I'll def be checking out more videos
Really cool to see a music man enjoy the dead. I was lucky enough to catch em a few times. Just listen and hear it. Then youll be hooked and a dead head for life.
3 min, the discussion of harmonics, Weir did so many colorful things that fit perfectly in fabric of each song. He was/is truly the most original rhythm player you can hear.
Your tone sounds awesome . Jerry's tone was amazing, besides the Mutron, he didn't use many effects. His tone came right from his soul. Great video bredren!! NFA
This vid immediately made me smile. I know exactly what you’re talking about when the stars align and your amp is warmed up just right and reacting to your guitar playing perfectly. I’ve been fortunate enough to play a good amount of large stages with huge side fills and monitors in my musical career, and when the onstage sound is on point and goes with that perfect guitar sound and amp reaction, there’s nothing in the world like it. I’m actually getting goosebumps just thinking about it. Love The Dead, and miss Jerry and his playing very much, but was able to meet him very briefly about a year or so before his passing. At least we’ve got countless recordings of his work. Great vid! Thanks so much. 🎶👍🔊🙂
Yeah! Keep the Jerry tunes coming! One of my faves.Thanks!Well I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life, Run me out in the cold,rain, and snow, rain and snow. Run me out in the cold rain and snow. Well she went up to her room where she sang her faithful tune, And I ain't goin be treated this way this ol way, and I ain't gonna be treated this way. And she was coming down the stairs combin back her yellow hair. Well I'm going where those Chilly Winds Don't Blow Winds Don't Blow. I'm going where those Chilly Winds Don't Blow!
One fun thing about this tune is watching Jerry use the pickup selector. There’s an idea that he *always* used the middle pickup, but on this song, he would consistently switch: bridge on the intro, middle on the verse, and neck pickup for that harmonized lead. He was very consistent during this era about making those switches.
Man it's so cool that you're doing these and that we get to experience these with you. I've seen this vid many times but just 'talking' about the music is fun. SO, What's cool with that harmony run you're addressing is that particular melody really evolved over the years as the unit it is. Sometimes they would off set the lick to hang on the D for maybe a whole beat or two and make up for it on the E...etc. Really great stuff. You'll find all that cool neat stuff. Cheers. Oh also, decorations. You were describing Bobby's style and Brent...sometimes I think if it as decorating the tune. Cheers. I'll drop some good technical Bobby heavy links of GD in the future. Cheers again.
Love your vids of watching the Dead. I was at this show (Dylan backed w/Petty & Heartbreakers opened). Was in DC three days later for same lineup, where Jerry went into his coma after the show. Start of the second set (at least Cold Rain and Fire on the Mountain) was shown at Farm Aid, happening in the midwest at the same time.
One of the best Grateful Dead cover bands of all time is Further. And their cover of this song from the music Festival Lockn’ 2013 is my favorite version of the song ever played.
I think your understanding why so many people have followed them for so many years,all the different mixing of chords etc. It srikes a chord in your very soul!
Man I dig your videos a lot! I like the smile on your face watching the band..its cool to see that you get it! Some Widespread Panic may be a good choice in the future..powerful Southern Jamness!
That lead hasn't changed much since the boys recorded their first album. Altered the tempos a bit over the years, perhaps. A supercharged old Appalachian folk classic. much thx !
Thanks for your perspective on this song, this is a other example of how the Grateful Dead's playing still inspires so many, now you getting the fever, like Bobby says , too much of everything is just enough ! In my opinion you should go through the Dead's entire list of them playing on video and give the world a gift . The music theory you use to explain what the band does reinforces, my personal conviction that they were the best American band in rock history, I knew it the first time I heard them live. My bad for never learning music theory to fully understanding what my ears were hearing. Really wanted you to check out the Farm Aid concert of 7/4/1986. Much better camera work all around. Your so right about how well the tube amps sound that day, they have several clips of the band playing , and Jerry,Phil and Bobby are delighted with the sound. So throw around the idea of nothing but Dead videos on your channel and I don't know if you have the time to cover them all, Make your mark with Dead fans. I read the comments on all the shows you've covered and those who love the band are so thankful for what you've done already. I will be waiting to find out what you think about this dream of mine? Without love in the dream, it will never come true. Best wishes my brother, thank you .⚡️🎸⚡️🖖🏽⚡️🎸
(Musically) Coming down the stairs combing back her yellow hair! Love how the lyrics and music go hand in hand so much with the dead. Would love to see terripin station as the next dead one!
U REALLY KNOW YOUR SHIT!!!!! I have always loved this DEAD tune.. I am a drummer, and the DRUMS .. are really rocking on this version... some HIGH ENERGY .... Jerry was having FUN.... 4 sure..
They were doing harmony leads AND counterpoint since the late 1960's. Only we "early Dead Heads" were aware of their incredible compositional skills. It can be heard from the second album but is most apparent on all of their live albums. You can tell the difference between Jerry's and Bobby's tone. Eventually you will discover the interplay between Jerry, Bobby, and Phil. Bobby is the most skilled rhythm guitarist I have ever heard.
🎵The bus came by and I got on, that’s where it all began.🎵 I’m loving watching this happen to you in real time, getting hit by the lightning bolt. Thanks for sharing these videos. Welcome to the family.
Michael, you might not be aware of this, but Cold Rain & Snow is a tune that goes WAY back in the GD rep. They started playing it in 1966 (maybe earlier), and it was played regularly (5-12 times/year) all through their active years. Sometimes the show opener, usually in the first set. This one is unusual because it opened the 2nd set. It might have been in the Jug Band repertoire too. (Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, the band which preceded The Grateful Dead) As you noted, it is a regularly played Bluegrass tune, so Jerry likely would have played it during his banjo years as well.
Cold Rain and Snow is a tune they didn’t play very often so it was a real treat when they did do it. I’ve heard a lot of Deadheads say that it was a Jerry would only play when a came to “play.” I haven’t heard every single version but I’ve heard enough that I tend to agree with the older wiser heads. I love your channel. Never apologize or have a caveat that you don’t learn/ teach note for note. There’s no need to. Having the skeleton is enough. A song I would like to see you dissect is Blue Sky by the Allman Bros. Band. I will leave a link after I peruse a few versions. Rumor is, is that was the last song Duane recorded with the band. Thanks an keep those inspirational videos coming.
Tom Darkstar : When it was played it usually held the place of set opener. But, not as common as Bertha, Jack Straw, Promised Land or a few others. How many times did it appear between the April ‘71 Fillmore Shows and ‘76. Maybe a few times in ‘77. Obviously it was more commonly played than say, Death Don’t Have No Mercy. I still maintain that when it was played it was a night when Jerry felt like throwing down.
Veneta Oregon 08/27/72 Dark Star. Disregard the fact that the entire show is insane and you could review the China Rider, Jack Straw, He’s Gone, Birdsong, Playin’, honestly any of them. The Complete Sunshine Daydream is peak trippy Dead and they’re in rare form for this show. Someone needs to make sense of this Dar Star I’m counting on you: th-cam.com/video/6JukZBGgv8I/w-d-xo.html
I love it bro! Ur dead fam now for sure!!! Only a dead head smiles like that watching the boys play. When u hear the music playing u get “it” That feeling only dead heads get.
A week before before Jerry goes into diabetic coma. Was at show; played Cold Rain after mini front came through lowering temps dramatically. Dead opened for Dylan backed by Petty and Heartbreakers. Great day.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the camera guy is trippin' balls! I used to do this one in an old band I had years ago. Hey , I have the same Jaws shirt. I wish I could say the same about your PRS! That's freakin' sweet! Great video again , lovin' the channel. Bobby is throwing harmonics all over the place! ✌💀👽👍🎸🎵🎶
Mr Palmisano, I have been enjoying your “reacts” series for several months and have gleaned quite a bit ok knowledge from you in regards to some of the theory behind the music. I’m not sure if you have ever covered any of this material before, but if you haven’t, i highly recommended you check out the Phil and Friends shows from Warfield Theater in 1999. The lineup consists of Phil Lesh, Paige McConnel on keys, John Molo on drums with Steve Kimmock and Trey Anastasio on guitar. I haven’t listened to them in a long time but just had my mind blown by 4/16/99’s opening Help>Slip>Franklin’s then into Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here. That’s all the farther i got before i decided to recommend to you and your audience to give all three shows 4- 16,17,and 18 of 1999 a listen on TH-cam. Keep up the good work sharing the passion for and your knowledge of music.
This is actually an old folk tune from the Ozark region I believe and it's author is unknown. It's usually listed as ''traditional arrangement''. If you've ever heard the original, not the Dead's many covers, you'll hear just how much the Dead had to rework it. A woman sings it and it's more of a chant than a song and is originally titled ''Rain And Snow''. The Dead added the world "Cold'' and it works to sort of jog the tempo along.
Give the people what they want:

I remember that little tease at the top and the full opening riff like it was yesterday! Thanks for bringing it all back, and for your amazing breakdown! PEACE
Nice 1st! It was my 106th. ❤
I don’t like reaction videos but for some reason I’ve watched like 5 of yours. I think it’s because I can tell your enthusiasm is completely genuine.
The most amazing thing with this video is that Jerry’s wearing a T-shirt with a color other then black!
joseph pattison Go look up Jerry and Bob at the Playboy mansion
I was on tour when Jerry broke out the red tee shirt. Immediately, "trouble ahead Jerry in Red" bumper stickers were being sold in the parking lots.
Let it be known: when asked “What’s your favorite color?” (jokingly) in an interview with NME (UK), Jer replied “Red & black.” lol He had the most acerbic yet genuine sense of humor & I believe it comes thru in much of his playing & writing! Long love & long live Jerome John Garcia! 🤘✌️ “Let there be songs to fill the air”

There are at least one hundred mind blowing versions of The Other One. Arguably, the most intense piece they ever did.
The Morning Dew is spectacular. Jerry plays the solo like a surgeon mixed with a creative genius mixed with a soul of a very unique and special man.

In my opinion you should go through the Dead's entire list of them playing on video and give the world a gift . The music theory you use to explain what the band does reinforces, my personal conviction that they were the best American band in rock history, I knew it the first time I heard them live. My bad for never learning music theory to fully understanding what my ears were hearing. Really wanted you to check out the Farm Aid concert of 7/4/1986. Much better camera work all around. Your so right about how well the tube amps sound that day, they have several clips of the band playing , and Jerry,Phil and Bobby are delighted with the sound. So throw around the idea of nothing but Dead videos on your channel and I don't know if you have the time to cover them all, Make your mark with Dead fans.
I read the comments on all the shows you've covered and those who love the band are so thankful for what you've done already. I will be waiting to find out what you think about this dream of mine? Without love in the dream, it will never come true. Best wishes my brother, thank you .⚡️🎸⚡️🖖🏽⚡️🎸
(Musically) Coming down the stairs combing back her yellow hair! Love how the lyrics and music go hand in hand so much with the dead. Would love to see terripin station as the next dead one!
U REALLY KNOW YOUR SHIT!!!!! I have always loved this DEAD tune.. I am a drummer, and the DRUMS .. are really
rocking on this version... some HIGH ENERGY .... Jerry was having FUN.... 4 sure..
They were doing harmony leads AND counterpoint since the late 1960's. Only we "early Dead Heads" were aware of their incredible compositional skills. It can be heard from the second album but is most apparent on all of their live albums. You can tell the difference between Jerry's and Bobby's tone. Eventually you will discover the interplay between Jerry, Bobby, and Phil. Bobby is the most skilled rhythm guitarist I have ever heard.
Hell yea man! Cold Rain and Snow is also a cover! Dude, the Dead made their covers their own song. This song might as well be a Grateful Dead song.
I grew up in the shadows of Rich Stadium and I can tell you that the best times of my life were when the boys rolled into town. Peace
🎵The bus came by and I got on, that’s where it all began.🎵
I’m loving watching this happen to you in real time, getting hit by the lightning bolt. Thanks for sharing these videos. Welcome to the family.
YES
Michael, you might not be aware of this, but Cold Rain & Snow is a tune that goes WAY back in the GD rep. They started playing it in 1966 (maybe earlier), and it was played regularly (5-12 times/year) all through their active years. Sometimes the show opener, usually in the first set. This one is unusual because it opened the 2nd set. It might have been in the Jug Band repertoire too. (Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, the band which preceded The Grateful Dead) As you noted, it is a regularly played Bluegrass tune, so Jerry likely would have played it during his banjo years as well.
Cold Rain and Snow is a tune they didn’t play very often so it was a real treat when they did do it. I’ve heard a lot of Deadheads say that it was a Jerry would only play when a came to “play.” I haven’t heard every single version but I’ve heard enough that I tend to agree with the older wiser heads. I love your channel. Never apologize or have a caveat that you don’t learn/ teach note for note. There’s no need to. Having the skeleton is enough. A song I would like to see you dissect is Blue Sky by the Allman Bros. Band. I will leave a link after I peruse a few versions. Rumor is, is that was the last song Duane recorded with the band. Thanks an keep those inspirational videos coming.
Tom Darkstar : When it was played it usually held the place of set opener. But, not as common as Bertha, Jack Straw, Promised Land or a few others. How many times did it appear between the April ‘71 Fillmore Shows and ‘76. Maybe a few times in ‘77. Obviously it was more commonly played than say, Death Don’t Have No Mercy. I still maintain that when it was played it was a night when Jerry felt like throwing down.
"Man you jest never know what yer gonna git. "
That's the beauty of the Dead brother .
Nice shirt fav movie I saw in in the theater in 75 I was 9. Took me a long time to get back in the water. Great channel dude!
Really enjoy your content - Thank you!
Veneta Oregon 08/27/72 Dark Star. Disregard the fact that the entire show is insane and you could review the China Rider, Jack Straw, He’s Gone, Birdsong, Playin’, honestly any of them. The Complete Sunshine Daydream is peak trippy Dead and they’re in rare form for this show. Someone needs to make sense of this Dar Star I’m counting on you: th-cam.com/video/6JukZBGgv8I/w-d-xo.html
You should check out the version of this song off their first album ! I really like this song , also Morning Dew !
I love it bro! Ur dead fam now for sure!!! Only a dead head smiles like that watching the boys play. When u hear the music playing u get “it”
That feeling only dead heads get.
'Trouble Ahead...Jerry in Red'
Dude! your the Big Brother Of guitar teaching. Totally dug the vid/ LESSON.
A week before before Jerry goes into diabetic coma. Was at show; played Cold Rain after mini front came through lowering temps dramatically. Dead opened for Dylan backed by Petty and Heartbreakers. Great day.
It’s not the cameraman. The video was shot from multiple perspectives. It’s whoever edited the footage.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the camera guy is trippin' balls!
I used to do this one in an old band I had years ago.
Hey , I have the same Jaws shirt. I wish I could say the same about your PRS! That's freakin' sweet!
Great video again , lovin' the channel. Bobby is throwing harmonics all over the place!

Mr Palmisano, I have been enjoying your “reacts” series for several months and have gleaned quite a bit ok knowledge from you in regards to some of the theory behind the music. I’m not sure if you have ever covered any of this material before, but if you haven’t, i highly recommended you check out the Phil and Friends shows from Warfield Theater in 1999. The lineup consists of Phil Lesh, Paige McConnel on keys, John Molo on drums with Steve Kimmock and Trey Anastasio on guitar. I haven’t listened to them in a long time but just had my mind blown by 4/16/99’s opening Help>Slip>Franklin’s then into Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here. That’s all the farther i got before i decided to recommend to you and your audience to give all three shows 4- 16,17,and 18 of 1999 a listen on TH-cam. Keep up the good work sharing the passion for and your knowledge of music.
"Your tube amps having an A+ day smile" That is so good!
This is actually an old folk tune from the Ozark region I believe and it's author is unknown. It's usually listed as ''traditional arrangement''. If you've ever heard the original, not the Dead's many covers, you'll hear just how much the Dead had to rework it. A woman sings it and it's more of a chant than a song and is originally titled ''Rain And Snow''. The Dead added the world "Cold'' and it works to sort of jog the tempo along.
MUSIC NEVER STOPPED !!!!!
Was at this show, Dead opened for Tom Petty and Dylan. Jerry always played well in daylight. Jerry and Brent were really in a good groove.
Keep em coming buddy! More phish and UM too. Thanks you!!
Cold Rain and Snow at the Buffalo show you had that Smokin Deal on was awesome also...
My favorite version of this song is from Truckin' Up to Buffalo '89. One of the most ripping versions ever.
@guitargate- the show i told you to check out on Amazon Prime Video! Killer version...
7/4/89 is probably the best version, but you should totally check out the one from 10/12/84. Absolutely ripping
A great one indeed!
Definitely in the top 249 Cold Rain & Snows!!
@@sweet.n.soursaucethere are 249 amazing versions ❤
