"Another gem from the Classic Closing Of Winterland show, this rendition of Not Fade Away is long, powerful, and fun, filled with terrific solos, special guests, and inspired playing, despite the very late hour of the performance. Followed by another rocker, Around and Around, the Dead would leave enough gas in the tank to later play a third set that featured Dark Star, St. Stephen, and much more." - David Lemieux
justinofhudson Matt Kelly on harp and the inimitable John Cippolina on guitar. It is practically Cippolina’s beat, after all. If Bo Diddley hadn’t invented it, Cippolina would’ve had to. 😎
So exciting to see John Cipollina onstage with the Dead. One of the few guitarists that Garcia considered a peer in that genre of music. I saw Cipollina with Quicksilver Messenger Service back in the day and I was maybe 30 feet from him with a clear view. It was glorious. He was a true innovator who left us too soon.
OMG If I only could have been in the crowd... The Grateful Dead was in the house! Jerry was on and the band followed! Thank you, GOD, for allowing me to live DURING the Grateful Dead's timeline of life as a band!

Man would I have loved to have seen them at their holy grail of venues “Winterland”!! 78 was a fantastic time for the boys and the chemistry was off the charts. Just look at how relaxed and happy Garcia is, Damn!!
The acoustics in Winterland left a lot to be desired. It certainly wasn't a holy grail of anything. Great American Music Hall, Berkeley Community Theater, Fillmore Auditorium--- all Bay Area venues with far better acoustics than Winterland. The Oakland Colosseum Arena had better acoustics.
@@Tipi_Dan what I meant by “holy Grail” wasn’t in reference to sound quality of the venue as compared to others. More so meaning it was their unofficial home and the atmosphere must have been fantastic. Also being that I believe they were a better band in the 70’s.
@@johnpetro9308 I never saw the Dead there, but did in those other venues. I saw Quicksilver there and Little Feat--- new year 1976, I believe. There's a video of the Quicksilver show here on TH-cam. So silly with Gary and Dino and their shark tooth earrings jiggling in synch. I saw someone here who characterized Winterland as "sweaty". Being that my visit was on New Year's Eve, I felt it was a bit dank and drafty, though isn't all the Bay in January, usually?
When I was 17 we drove from Coeur d Alene idaho to San Francisco to see the dead at the civic on Chinese New Year. it was the first time I saw palm trees. I remember we were walking around the park across the street. A guy walked up and in his rain coat and he had eighths and quarter ounces safety pinned to the inside of his jacket just like I saw on TV. it was a trip. Then I bought a two dollar hit of acid and had the best time. I'll never forget it as long as I live. So many different kinds of people dancing together. it was beautiful! and let's not forget the Chinese dragon spaying people with a fire extinguisher between sets. amazing
My first show was at the San Francisco civic, NOW Bill graham memorial auditorium, My first concert, Adam ant 🐜 two drummer. Yes I keep on keeping on Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️🌵☮️🌞🐟 rastafari
I saw the Dead with Pig Pen even earlier than this at Fillmore East and this was what it was really like. We'd come stumbling outta there still stoned as the sun was risin over NYC!
Even though it is physically impossible to go back in time, what I would give to be able to go back in time to see one of their classic shows from 1971, 1977, or 1978 is a lot my friends. Thank God the music still lives in so many bands today though.
i got poked by NY's finest after we missed the last train and I crashed on a bench @ the station upstairs...or was it downstairs....? Felt Forum...... This shit'll live forever.
was there that night as I was many nights at Winterland was always my favorite place to see them and New Years shows always brought out their best or maybe it was the acid or the crowd or the fact that it was a time of such freedom of mind and space . I remember relay races and volleyball before shows it was tribal it was over indulgence and it was the greatest times I've ever had .

I just wish I could get a time machine. Grab an old buddy of mine, who traveled all over to see these guys before he passed. And get miracled in to the show before everyone had to go! Miss them! See you on the flip side my brothers!
@@TonyMacFarlane hello u tube great on this stuff and David as well thanks, I must have been there as to the date, argh here it is in my d.n.a. memory circuits...ha ha ha
I remember 42 years ago getting the recording on cassette and thinking at the time it was a little slow compared to how they did it at my first show in Boston a month and a half before this...The more I listened the more i thought ...Damn! This is great ..Love this version and always end up back at it.
4:48 précisément : qu'est ce qu'ils ont l'air HEUREUX !!! Et les glissendos de la SG Cipollina par dessus les accords de Jerry : quel bonheur ! Une des meilleures versions de "Not fade away" par le GD je pense.
There were so many different versions of Dead songs, I love them all. But this, this version of NFA is beyond mind blowing. I can listen over and over. I love to run to this one.
Its amazing that the best thing i ever seem ... it's make my my heart jump and pump. .. Lee Oskar and the grateful dead its to much for this perfection to me
Mike and I were there.......while living in Berkeley we never missed a Dead Concert barely got to the last bus back to Berkeley it was a New Years Show.........
love that funky building-up and circling-around preamble ...until the words hit ever so lightly, almost like the words are second to the musical message here
after watching many times I must say...Jerry the supreme master of improv puts everyone to shame in a most respectful way...although Chip deserved a bit more volume brother
@@FoFrx I think it was his call, this was his first song of the set right? He probably wanted to warm up a little and find his place in the groove before contributing anything big to it, especially since the Dead are notorious for pulling huge musical left turns out of their ass when least expected. Idk though wasn't there lol
yeah its cool to play through these high quality clips of good performances but its a little disappointing that just about everything has been from 87-93.

I saw them in 1978 at Springfield Massachusetts + met Phil then Bobby plus Ramrod put a sticker on my back of a Jean jacket , then went up to a room to listen the rolling stone magazine on a interview with them but I thought it wasn’t very good ! Bobby asked me how I thought it went so I told him the truth that the Deadheads wouldn’t like it because it wasn’t very personal ! 😝🥺😏😔

Don't you think mentioning the other musicians is a good idea when posting a video ?!

The best band to improv and make an old song sound new.

Energy of the band was fantastic. It was apparent they all loved playing together by the looks on their faces. God I miss this.
