John Cipollina with the Dead...the finale

[gregoryerrico]

Great memories!...... Lee Oskar playing Harmonica and Greg Errico sitting in w/Mickey Hart on Drums.....not sure if this is the NYE Winterland Show? Always had a good time hanging and jamming with this group of people!

[tileandstoner]

Everytime I saw the Grateful Dead I was on so much acid it all sounded great! I felt and saw the sound and energy at every show.

3:42. That scared me.

[jgallagherfamily]

This is a great video! The GD were the most amazing live band ever! John C was an incredible, largely unrecognized talent. This recording is a treasure!

[mymeester]

Fantastic sound and video capturing one of my most treasured memories. Thanks Unvicious. Johhny with the Dead the best!

[rotolo]

4:57 when mickey hart is looking at jerry killing it then he starts hitting drums harder that is my favourite moment.. this is so great great, thanks alot..

[gregoryerrico]

I do remember these days well!

I guess I must be missing something, but I found this to be one of the most satisfying videos of the GD on YT. Jerry was definiitely all over this arrangement. If there could be any complaint I'd say not enough screen time w/Jerry. John C and the harp players were in my mind terrific....Thanks Unviciouscircle ....I just saw "The Road" video with Viggo G. and now I got something mindless to rock to Yeah Chuck Berry the Dead and John C. .... Reelin & Rockin' ....Thanks!!!!

[unviciouscircle]

@andyvincentwhostube always great read comments like yours...have a great day.

[skolkoremi]

what a crazy sound..that realy rocks. never stop rocking.



[sleakitweasel]

I feel compelled to comment negatively as this, to me, represents the WORST of the Grateful Dead in one handy package.

This is totally lacking in energy - with Donna G wailing (and screaming) tunelessly as she was wont to do sadly.

I always thought that cocaine engendered a certain 'energy' but THIS is so flat and plodding, it's hard to think that it's the same band as 1972. And they were off their tits big time...

Sorry but this makes me FUME. Travesty.

Just my opinion...

[unviciouscircle]

@sleakitweasel ..no argument 'bout the Coke issue ..take it you saw the Dead many times in '72 then to make such a comparison..never saw them myself but saw Mr Cip a few times ...guess that makes me a lucky Brit.....

[jamjax]

@sleakitweasel Yeah they are a little too blunt here. Too decadent of a night here.

[rdx506]

@sleakitweasel

It wasn't Coke; it was Heroin !

[bellablue108]

@sleakitweasel this is some of the most psychedelically charged full on smoking blown out grooving GD i've seen on yt….gotta get past the wails or whatever…..guess there's a thin line between "flat/plodding" vs. a stage full of people able to play in total high octane synchronicity…..with all due respect, Garcia's smile at the end of that jam kinda attests to the blast this show musta been. This is the real deal.

[Ishmael932]

Is that Paul Butterfield and War harp player, Lee Oskar with them?

[6749er]

Like this & everytime I saw Cipollina play w/ The Dead they sounded great & always seemed to have a real good time.

Now thanks to You I get to see it again

& those that wern't around can see the great sounds & fun & way it was once upon a time in the West. The real QMS (pre-Dino) & The Quick & The Dead shows was as good as it got for me.

I love this stuff-Thanks!

[vicparis]

Still gives me goosebumps!

[longlivejerryg]

as Hunter once said: Oh would these times come again - oh they will, but not for me, not for me......

[lightlyone]

Thanks again, unviciouscircle... great stuff!! CP's QMS guitar adds just the right amount of spice and energy. Roll away the dew!

[unviciouscircle]

@lightlyone Pleasure.... Happy New Year

[Baddoggone]

Those were the days, to bad all good things must pass but that is life. Just glad to have been in the Bay Area as it has always been a magnet for real music.

[Circuit7Active]

Music was real back then, not like today's music.

[vicparis]

I think it probably depends on what music you're listening to.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Thanks from me too....

[irlandos1]

The grande finale!...great share(s)  my friend!...thanks!
