Grateful Dead - Playing In The Band 1987

[NoMoreDepression]

This song has a time signature of 10/4 (ten beats per measure with each quarter note receiving one beat). This is unusual. Anyway, I love this version! Love the dancers and the kaleidoscope of dancing legs. Artistic to the max!

[5AChockey]

What key ? What Mode ?

[Mich2328]

that may be one of the best live songs the dead do. well done

[muz977ify]

i have to say it was quite incredible being introduced and growing up with the dead, in the 80's and 90's thank GOD for one of the best bands in history!!:)

~3:25 through... & @4:33 and over and over again as this segway continues, we know and love you mr garcia...

[davidbp4]

diggin the groove... was lookin for a version to post on a friend's blog... this one fits, for the song itself, for the sound quality, for the live footage... and... for your EXCELLENT blending in of the other bits of others (not at a dead show) dancing and playing!

[Eltamir]

I have So Far on laser disc. This video turned me into a Johnny come lately Dead head. Saw them my one and only time on their last tour in Seattle in May 1995! Talk about just under the wire! Jerry was gone three months later. Hope Jerry, Pigpen, Keith, Brent and Vince are jammin' somewhere in the hereafter!

[nettle99]

that magical climax coming up twice in this one at 5:04 & 6:45

thank you jerry...

[TheStustewart]

AHHH JERRY!!!!

[chuckbyf1]

This is easy to dance to. You just have to get used to putting your foot down on the upbeat or the downbeat.

[circleblueguy]

[kissmyconverse100]

during the most Raw moments of my adolescence i had rented this vhs tape every now and then, but the first time was a memory ill never forget. it was also the second time i smoked marijuana, which made everything so much cooler!

[bjjlv702]

[standardsal]

[darrenable1]

This was a Great Movie by the Dead, Long Live Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead.

[rwk1983]

@darrenable1 bob weir's a whore

[AmanitaPersicina]

@rwk1983 I agree, he joined the bohemian club in 1988, he also got Mickey to join. If you do not know about the bohemian club or bohemian grove then look them up, it goes against everything the dead stood for so it came as a shocker to most heads when they found out Bobby had joined.

[SwordOfTruth3]

@AmanitaPersicina No wonder they pandered to the politicians last election. Jerry bowed out for good reason in 1995. Bless him.

[brusselstarlight]

@AmanitaPersicina I just looked up the bohemian grove, its like illuminati. or skull and bones, or some kind of fraternity for the rich powerful and real ugly. The name fooled me, thereis nothing cool about the Bohemian Grove, its a beat you cant dance to unless you have fire burning your feet.

[brusselstarlight]

@AmanitaPersicina One more thing, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan were members of the bohhemian club. I don't need to say more. It says it all.

[darrenable1]

The is Such a Great Song, and What a great Video, The So Far Sessions, Best by me. Bob Weir

[patchmypants]

this is from 85

[norcalmoz]

Amazing, amazing! I was born in '85 and my father was a huge dead head, he brought home this tape and I would crawl up the entertainment stand and play it over and over and over. The VHS had a blue label and before I could walk I would beg to watch blue music! This video brings back so many fond memories!

[spagNsc]

excellent Video...Remarkable.

[iJah420]

To whoever posted this... I am VERY VERY Grateful...2 say the least. Thank You!!
