Enough to give you a flashback. Ah them days when the acid was Owsley and the music swept us away to other climes and places. Inever caem back, except to suffer the straight world
fucking great, the one place i thought i could get away from bieber and gaga, and you fucks have to talk about it in the comments. we know they are shit, it's common knowledge, so stop bringing it up.
@twinoak170 Where do you get Hanson, Gaga & Bieber from this video? Your officially a complete nincompoop for even bringing up those horrid names on such an epic jam, with some of the worlds best musicians who, thank god, never lived long enough to see such horrible acts as Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber. Who in the sam-hell do you think you are!? MR. BAGGY PANTS!!!!!
This what it was all about back then. Everyone drank a puddle and whatever went down was cool. How the times changed. I would like to get in stewie griffin"s time machine and go back to these times. Now that would be all that.
WOW! can't believe I just found this!!!!! Nice to see now but jams like this HAD to be seen and heard LIVE! Too bad I was a wearin diapers.... I'm just glad almost half a century later and some of these dudes are still supplying the air I need...
three awesome bands came together to create this ultimate trifecta of godly musical power that manifested itself on an unsuspecting stage in san francisco
If I understand correctly, the Family Dog at the Great Highway was a venue out at the end of Golden Gate Park at the ocean, some sort of ice skating rink turned into a live music venue. Am I correct? Does the building still stand?
OH ! OH! WOW AHHHH ??? oh I am supposed to say something now? sorry had stage fright after watching ALL THAT . SHEW! have that electric fuzzy feeling all over and it's not a seizure! This is why I am still a Hippie! That made me feel good . Thanks so much Rick In Wichita Ks.
captain freakybeats ...that's the name they should take ...it reminds me a word or two by Lou Reed... "walk on the wild side" yeah that's so right here
Freakin amazing; incredible, really, would have loved to have been there for this one, as well as the opening of the Red Noodle show previously mentioned; awesome music, awesome video! What an outstanding collection of talent, even Janis was in the audience. Thnx!
Most of one whole side of the Quicksilver Messenger Service LP "Happy Trails" is taken up by the "Who Do You Love Suite", 6 tracks, 1968. That's what your listening to...I wish they'd caught the whole thing. I heard QMS and The Chambers Brothers jam this same number in Hawaii at the opening of The Red Noodle in 1970 for 45 minutes: awesome!
@MrMeddled ...LMMFFAO....I'm sure there is a vault filled by Chet and FD with tons of videos. These guys were so hi, they didn't even notice the cameras. Go to the archive and listen to sum of these shows. Hardly contrived.
and it will be done thru many bands, including my own. we are starting to play some really trippy and far out stuff, and all the locals are now comin to see us, and i have my school wantin bell bottoms and saying groovy, right on, and far out!
no my friend, it will happen in no one city, but across the nation. everywhere i go people want another woodstck they want to expand, they want to love, and to really live. Everybodies screamin for a new underground movement, theres a war goin on that noone wants, this is our chance, i used to think i belonged in the sixties, but now i think i belong now.
all i have to say is: there is still hope, man. bands like phish, tool and radiohead still pull out the crazy stops and push the boundaries like never before. it will be done. but where?!?! austin?!?!
These jams happened a lot after the gigs in San Francisco '65 -'68. It seemed like after everyone was done playing they would show up at the Avalon Ballroom & jam until the Police & Fire Dept. would show up & turn off the power to the building to end it or it would have gone on till daybreak. No one wanted to end, those were the days. I was so lucky to grow up in the SF Bay Area & went every weekend to fantastic gig.
@TheQuicksilverdog Grew up in the East Bay & went to as many as possible. Old Fillmore, Fillmore West, Avalon Ballroom, Playland @ the Beach......this jam is like the one @ the "Last Days of the Fillmore" (West); got in on the guest list with the light show (Little Princess 109, I loved McKays). There's nothing like the jam sessions that carried on after the normal sets!!!
even if i live to be 103 i will probably never see anything as cool as this....kind of depressing actually what happened to the idea of what music is. these days it just sounds like someone threw rocks in a blender and hit puree
@50daysofnight Sure you can still see stuff like this, its just harder to find. I went to bonnaroo the second and third year, there were a few hardcore jammed out sessions involving numerous member from different bands. But I know what you mean, back then scenes like this were normal. In 2005 at the Greek theatre Comes A Time: A Tribute To Jerry Garcia was held, that is a good show check it out. The date for it was 9/24/05
To my ears it sounds very Santana-ish, likely because their rhythm section is at the core of the jam. Really interesting to hear/watch all the different styles intermingle and bounce off each other.
I should of been a teenager in the 70's, unfortunately I got screwed over and was a teen in the 90's and had to put up with grunge and heavy metal.....why??!! The dude @3:44 is cleaning the residue from his nose
Far out, man. This was broadcast on PBS under the title "San Francisco Sounds" the Dead performed, Hard to Handle, China>Rider, Jam.The other performers were JA & Santana. The jam is an absolute MUST for any Deadhead. In fact this snippet sounds BETTER than the SB recording I have. THANK YOU for the post I have a visual to go along with the audio. COOL!!!!!!
I see on stage: Carlos Santana, Michael Shrieve, Michael Carabello, Jerry Garcia, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, and Gary Duncan from Quicksilver Messenger Service. Who plays drums next to Michael Shrieve? Is that Mickey Hart or Spencer Dryden?
Good God, this is probably made in heaven and tape somehow managed it's way to Earth. Just check out the monster line-up, Santana, Shrieve,Jorma, Casady, Kantner, Garcia, Duncan,. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and David Crosby are checking out and dancing. I don't know names of bongo players and I probably didn't even name everyone. There's probably more psychrock-gods hiding there somewhere. Don't you wish our times are like 60s (musically and open-minded) ?
It seems to me that Jorma is playing, some rythmn riffs, and Jerry is the guitar playing at 4:20 and 4:50. At 4:50 you can see his chord transitions and identify the sound, which to me is the same sound as at 4:20. But what do I know ? I wasn't there.
eh. incohesive. i love all these artists though. it just feels like they struggle to find a collective sound. and a lot of them are frustrated or really intoxicated. p.s. i enjoy intoxicants. go music!
Yea, this is always frustrating. There is a reason for the "Garcia=God" rhetoric. If you know each musicians style, you can hear Jerry coming in at 1:15 and basically fronting the guitar section from that point on. NO ONE can lay down those divinely fat riffs like Garcia. Jorma and Santana are utter pupils

Wow, your a candyflipper, cool for you raver boy. Everyone is proud of you for being able to take acid and then fuck it all up with some dumb pressie pills from biker joes bathtub... Theres a reason you werent born in the above era.
@whitney: I can close my eyes & tell who is playing when, solo or simultaneously w/ others. Love em all however Jorma on this one really works ir & probably because Jack Casady is there on bass...that's one four handed monster. I remember watching this "Night @ the Family Dog" special a year after it was recorded on PBS.
from the same show check out the Airplane's "Ballad of Me , You & Pooneil" >>1970 version on youtube!
The Santana drummer and Jefferson bass player are just ripping it up. Amazing players. The other guitar players didn't let it breath enough, only Carlos. Serious groove though. Following in Miles Davis's Bitches Brew vibe.
@dalidivinci Sorry to burst the bubble, but people who keep thinking they see Joplin in this video are looking with their hearts, not their eyes. She was NOT in the building.
@bwanna23 Had it been a paying gig, would have been 3 bucks at the door (or maybe we were up to $3.50 by then, I can't quite remember). But this was an invitation-only private party for the purpose of taping the shows for an NET (predecessor to PBS) special. The edited hour which aired is available again on DVD. Check Amazon for "A Night At the Family Dog".
@TheGreenBlackbird you just can't stop listening to this music:p ive seen "the ballad of you and me and pooneil" at this same show over a hundred times and i'm still not sick of this kind of sound. it's sounds so fresh and yet it's 40 years old music.:p
perhaps should reevaluate all of the musicians involved in this jam. I'm fully aware the camera only pans to certain areas. But there are certainly more guitarists than shown and another bassists as well.
I agree with wakjob614: holy Shit! This is just a psychedelic wet dream, man. Dig that late 60s San Francisco sound! Where did it all go wrong? Too many drugs? Obsession with money? Synthesizers? Get me a time machine.
That was totally Janis. I have a bootleg of this show and it's rockin. Bit O trivia, Janis was dating Pigpen from the Dead at the time and she was at most of their shows. On a couple of occasions she did indeed embarrass herself by coming onstage trashed and trying to sing with em...lol.
bobby wrote estimated prophet not garcia. i got mad love for the burning spear but estimated prophet has nothing to do with him. "and if we should live up in the hills"
Were do we go from Here...... you moved us Phila Boys... Thanks for this cut , now you see the really SF movement, If jerry was free all the groups from their wanted Jerry to sit in. but not only asked him reqested him to play on this song and many others ,... the list go's on.....

@TheGreenBlackbird you just can't stop listening to this music:p ive seen "the ballad of you and me and pooneil" at this same show over a hundred times and i'm still not sick of this kind of sound. it's sounds so fresh and yet it's 40 years old music.:p

Right there at 2:12, now that power trio would have been just fine had they been playing on their own!

If this was filmed in Feb. of 1970, then Santana drummer Michael Shrieve was the same age he was at Woodstock, 20 years old.

My God, is that Janis Joplin at the 2:00 minute mark?

Don't think it is. You can see her again around 3:13 and she doesn't look like Joplin.

perhaps should reevaluate all of the musicians involved in this jam. I'm fully aware the camera only pans to certain areas. But there are certainly more guitarists than shown and another bassists as well.

To PubliusNV, get your head out of your ass. I was friends with Jorma and he is probably one of the best guitarists and teachers ever!

I agree with wakjob614: holy Shit! This is just a psychedelic wet dream, man. Dig that late 60s San Francisco sound! Where did it all go wrong? Too many drugs? Obsession with money? Synthesizers? Get me a time machine.

i hear you. but golden ages aren't meant to last forever. this too shall pass.
at least we still have the music. and if you dig around somewhat, you'll still find some fairly strong echoes around today.

That was totally Janis. I have a bootleg of this show and it's rockin. Bit O trivia, Janis was dating Pigpen from the Dead at the time and she was at most of their shows. On a couple of occasions she did indeed embarrass herself by coming onstage trashed and trying to sing with em...lol.

Amazing. 6 years later I saw Jorma Kaukonen in Hot Tuna dipping cocaine off a pile on top of an amp. What a waste of talent.

I just take a look at J. Garcias face and I know this is a good/god song.
Jerry's like an angel. Winston Rodney as well.
So they wrote songs to honor each other:
Burning Spear (W. Rodney) - "Play Jerry"
Grateful Dead (J. Garcia) - "Estimated Prophet"

bobby wrote estimated prophet not garcia. i got mad love for the burning spear but estimated prophet has nothing to do with him. "and if we should live up in the hills"
