I was nine years old and the folks hated rock and roll. Never would have heard this or the other shows without you guys who were there, taped and shared. Thanks, thanks, thanks. RIP Jerry, Pigpen, Brent, Keith. See ya on the other side someday.
This is probably the most beautiful version I have ever heard of Row Jimmy Row. Garcia is at his best vocal magic, pulling those notes from deep inside with a tenderness that can lullaby any soul....Phil is giving a masterclass on his own and the guitar of Garcia is what myths are made of......Thanks Jerry, we truly miss you even the ones that, like me, never saw you playing live.
+Alan Brain So poetic, wow, you caught that incredibly unique something the Dead had and never saw them. I saw them first in '68 in Phila, twice with no more than 400 people at freebies they'd show up at, many times Fillmore East, some West. The bond between them, the "trip" you took on their "bus", and the audience . . . never seen anything else like it.
Alan Brain I also believe this is THE BEST I've ever heard this song played. I'm so glad that my teenage years were with The Grateful Dead. I'm eternally Grateful.
What i wouldn't give to be in a hallway one more time in a slow motion amorphous communal dance of swirls and twirls and reaching the sky after swimming in the soil and seeing that fucking smile on every face and the knowing looks in each others' eyes.
+photoslum Yep. No doubt. But, some people never had the experience. If there were one thing I could share with people I care about, it would be the feeling and connection you got when they were totally on and you totally got it.
Glenn Hall That's a nice. It was terribly lacking at the Dead and Co show i went to, despite being a great show. It was a first show for a couple friends, they loved it, but they don't know what they didn't get to love. Maybe a summer tour will bring some of that feeling back.
you said what ive been thinking lately. "what i wouldn't give...one more time." Ive been to my share of shows when Jer was in his physical body and i went to Fare Thee Well (took my 17 year old son). It was magical actually. I was in a bad place in my head and the boys got me out of that funk i had been in for years. I went to Alpine last summer for Dead and Co and it was really fun. Not the same of course, but I love Bobby so much. Always have. Summer tour is going to be so much fun. I cant wait to dance to my favorite band with my favorite people! love to all you kind brothers and sisters out there!
From the first time I heard this version of row jumbo, I knew it was going to be one of my favorite versions. I still can't get enough. Thats what the dead will do to you. Since 1978 the majority of the music I listen to is the good old Grateful Dead. I love the way things are strumming along and before you know it they are in a jam that smokes. All you can do is smile.
Walking around inside Barton hall right now, since I can't post a pic here I will try to paint it...crisp, clear beautiful fall day, leaves in full color, this song playing, looking at where Jerry and the boys (and girl) were standing when they played this... goosebumps and fighting off some sort of allergy 😂.
As about as close as you can get to the creation of an American folk tradition from pure scratch. Of course they were steeped deeply in Appalachian folk music. Workingman's Dead is another example of pure myth creation. Pure Americana at its best that along with the Doors is unparalleled.
+Marti LaChance He played it all too little. Singularly expressive normally. On slide he could both skewer and shower the agony and the ecstasy of their music.
except that was pedal steel, an entirely different instrument, but yea its amazing he was skilled in so many different techniques, styles and instruments. He's certainly no derek trucks or duane allman on slide, but in my opinion his slide solos on row jimmy are as good as any slide guitar I've ever heard
Will forever be grateful (no pun intended) that these guys cared about sound and recording back then. I was born way too late to be there live, so this is the closest I have.
Being from muscle shoals I love donna.. and usually everyone hates donna.. seeing all this love makes me happy I know she screams like a skinned banshee but hell yea donna
Present ~ Derek Trucks Then~ Skydog Forever and Always~Jerry imho of course, everybody got their picks I reckon but ain't nobody make the hairs stand up on my arm, feel all warm like the heat of a morphine cram, this version drips Jerry, prolly my favorite RJ and off an amazing and legendary year 🎵🎶🎶strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand, everybody playing in the Heart of Gold band ♥ of Gold🎵🎶🎸🎶
This Dead in Cornell (May 77') is THE BEST dead concert I have ever heard...start to finish, there is not another one out there any better...in my opinion of course.
I started listening to the Dead in the 70's.it's amazing how their music takes me back. Gives me goosebumps. No other band in my 40+ years of listening and playing does that.
I was lucky enough to see Jerry with the Grateful Dead 16 shows from 1990 to 1995.I have so much love and respect for those love the Dead but never got to see old Jer!
Maybe im a jerk for saying this but i hate it when bands shift their lineups around!! I thought the grateful dead died with pigpen as far as their definitive sound and album goes!!!
Why is I went to it dead show or JGB band show, The 1st 2030 seconds of Garcia lighting up would always bring tears to my eyes and a smile on my face.... No other player ever did that... Saw him in 71 and on and off until his passing.... He Polished my thought Jewels so many times...I Thank you Mr. G it was one hell of a ride
Ah, my first BettyBoard--the stellar Barton Hall! I still think this and Boston and Buffalo from the adjoining nights are among the best shows of ANY era. The boys were on fire. One can't say enough about these shows. The "Take A Step Back" is so funny too! Jerry: "Yeah, see yer friends in front are getting horribly bug-eyed." LMFAO!!

Did they really put a commercial before "Broken heart don't feel so bad, you don't have half of what you thought you had"??? wtf. Fyi; best GD line ever.
it's a Betty board.. they're everywhere and easy to find. especially this show..top show on many people's list. including mine.. super tight night all the way through.
For some reason when I heard this at deer creek 2022 I cried like a baby...John sang it well not like Jerry of course.❤ My first one was Niagara Falls 84, I Was still learning and I didn't recognize it at the show.
I think i was a ghost when this went down I think. Had to come back from the ether realm in 1980 to get real again though. Not sure if that was a good idea or not yet.
For many years this was one of a handful of tunes i would name when asked what my favorite GD song was. Still is one of the best IMO tho these days it gets less airplay any way around that i get my music, hint to all you guys and girls w bands out there
This has to be the best version of this song they ever did. It’s flawless. I’ve had chronic IBS for 5 years now, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about ending my life. This song and other dead music helps get me thru another day…
What courage to jump into space and recreate a new what a timid person would have done in 'safe' 'predictable' ways. This is a grate example of why it is we keep rediscovering all the things we thought we knew! Thank you.
There's a fantastic audience copy of this show on archive.net, it will make you feel like you're a few feet from the stage. I recommend giving it a listen!
Since you are insisting on post '75, I do like 5/11/81 and I think you will find one you like in the spring 78 tour. Don't look for any after '81 whatever you do. That is all horrid compared to 73 and 74 believe it.
Broken heart don't feel so bad,, you ain't got half of what you thought you had..
Donna singing in key and the emotionally smooth slide solos make for the most dreamy version ever
And her trills are amazing.

Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Come back steppin' like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don't you run off no more
Don't hang your head, let the two time roll
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
Ask the time baby I don't know
Come back later, gonna let it show
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row
Here's a half dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air

The levee doin' the do-pas-o
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know

Broken heart don't feel so bad
You ain't got half of what you thought you had
Rock you baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
That's the way it's been in town,
Ever since they tore the jukebox down

Not so much as it done before

That's what America sounded like back then.
Jerry's voice just makes me think....everything's just gonna be alllllllright..
A voice and tone that says 'I dont know anything for sure, but I sure feel a lot, a lot of good, a lot of shit, a lot of light, a lot of dark'.
Jerrys voice literally calms my anxiety...I can feel him singing. Not just hear but feel

This song is so beautiful and had truly got me thru some hard times in life. This is by far the most beautiful version I have heard.

Nice ☺️
As about as close as you can get to the creation of an American folk tradition from pure scratch. Of course they were steeped deeply in Appalachian folk music. Workingman's Dead is another example of pure myth creation. Pure Americana at its best that along with the Doors is unparalleled.
...gonna get there?
I don't know...
+Jim Ryan
yes sir, rocking my baby too a fro in about 9 months from now, may the fam be with me :)
Seems a common way to go
this song is about jimmy carter cause he had a boat. that little boat took him to another time and space. gawd, how i'd love to be back there.
Is that Jerry on the slide? It's fabulous. I've got this one on repeat.
+Marti LaChance Sure is.
+Marti LaChance
He played it all too little. Singularly expressive normally. On slide he could both skewer and shower the agony and the ecstasy of their music.
+Glenn Hall "skewer and shower the agony and ecstacy" perfect description :)
+Marti LaChance he also played on CSNY's album, deja vu, on teach your children...thats him!! :)
except that was pedal steel, an entirely different instrument, but yea its amazing he was skilled in so many different techniques, styles and instruments. He's certainly no derek trucks or duane allman on slide, but in my opinion his slide solos on row jimmy are as good as any slide guitar I've ever heard

broken heart don't feel so bad...best breakup song ever!
There was definitely a cross pollenation between the dead and reggae here. So awesome.
Only the ganja man, only the ganja.
Being from muscle shoals I love donna.. and usually everyone hates donna.. seeing all this love makes me happy I know she screams like a skinned banshee but hell yea donna
rawkus1167 this is the best row jimmy...dont bother looking....
The Dead were hitting on all cylinders here. This entire show is some of their finest work. Shit, even Donna was on point.
Great. One of my favorites. What music should be.
so on 5/8/77 apparently never happened , according to Weir it was some kind of joke when people said they attended Cornell
If someone can point me to better slide work, especially the second slide solo, please do.
Yeti Vanmarshall nothing is better IMO, but Derek trucks and Duane Allman also have some breath taking slide moments
Present ~ Derek Trucks
Then~ Skydog
Forever and Always~Jerry
imho of course, everybody got their picks I reckon but ain't nobody make the hairs stand up on my arm, feel all warm like the heat of a morphine cram, this version drips Jerry, prolly my favorite RJ and off an amazing and legendary year

This Dead in Cornell (May 77') is THE BEST dead concert I have ever heard...start to finish, there is not another one out there any better...in my opinion of course.
To Terrapin - Hartford and Dave's picks #1 Richmond - both on CD - awesome -1977
True but........why you gotta front?
To each their own friend , the taper was certainly on it this time . Great quality imo
I started listening to the Dead in the 70's.it's amazing how their music takes me back. Gives me goosebumps. No other band in my 40+ years of listening and playing does that.
Reggae San Rafael p Marin county San Francisco California rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert yes I keep on keepin on Babylon you can blow me
Alice is stuck in the 70s the best time to grow up .

all the shows from may 77 are just gold, 5/15, and an insane fire on 5/21
that felt like an hour :)
Just freaking stunning! A perfect example of why this is a band beyond description. The whole show is a great one.
Why is I went to it dead show or JGB band show, The 1st 2030 seconds of Garcia lighting up would always bring tears to my eyes and a smile on my face.... No other player ever did that...

gives me goosebumps!!! i miss & love jerry so much!!!

Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Come back steppin' like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don't you run off no more
Don't hang your head, let the two time roll
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
Ask the time baby I don't know
Come back later, gonna let it show
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row
Here's a half dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air

Broken heart don't feel so bad
You ain't got half of what you thought you had
Rock you baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
That's the way it's been in town,

The one from Winterland 3/20/77 is very different and WAY worth checking out too...
