They're destroying this country all around you while you people argue about your damn scene.. You guys do realize that don't you? Just thought I would mention that.
@aznmetalmunkey but look at how much of the youth has succumbed to the fad, much like those days where it wasn't your regular, you did it because it was different, it had feeling though at that time because it was new and unprecedented, but these days are a facade for them, they think this is a way of life but it isn't, it's actually quite embarrassing, sad to say i work at bestbuy and all these kids do is come in, play the shit they listen to, and shuffle while wearing tails on their belts...
@imagine27pce I'm from cali so from my experience it's this, yes i know it's a not only a wide generation gap and altogether culture difference but the way it's going is as i've explained it, i see this every day, i've been to these raves, i've actually seen it, soaked it in, and this (in my mind, by all means believe as you please, i don't mean to stir up arguments or debate, just my opinion) is what i've realized, take it or leave it
Sweet! Even though almost every track from the Dick Pick's Volumes is available on Spotify nowadays I usually end up watching YouTube instead. There's just something about The Dead that makes you wanna watch the show as well as listening to the music.
This is such a great band, great track. Just checked out a really awesome track you may like if you dig this search " Pai Crowd, The Music Video,,,Groove•O•Ly•O•Scene "
I remember watching this when it originally aired. I was in college. It was so cool. But all we could do was talk about it. We had no vcrs or anything. THANKYOU youtube and whoever put it up. wwjd?
While I consider my self to be a "dead head" I don't like all their music. But I always loved their attitude. They played to play music, not to be famous or to make millions of dollars. The music was always at the heart of what they did. Take a toke on my Jerry!
its seems its more like learning to cope with the inevitable problems we all face and trying to make light of a dark situation..... note taken... but really every dead song is epic in its own way.... its all open to interpretation
Why watch videos you know you are not going to like? Seems like the song so obviously says we invite most of our own problems.....The Dire Wolf was at the window, and all I said was come on in......wouldn't have been in position to be murdered if hadn't invited it, maybe we should all take a note.....
WOW!!! What an awesome version. Would do many things to be a teenager at that time. If you can't close your eyes and hear the talent than close your eyes tighter and open your ears wider. sniff sniff I would have done anything to be there this night. Saw them 7 times live but wish i could have seen them 700 times. Sniff Sniff.
Heard this played in Egypt in the late 70's. Cool melody. Found cool Dead stuff on a hysterical website called noveltyjoes. Check it out if you want to crack up.
some people don't see beauty in the dead, some people don't see beauty in anything , but its as David Gans says people dont like it or put it down because they cant see why so many people are having so much fun but o well fuck em...
When grateful dead kept popping up in forums I read I had to listen to them. With a name like grateful dead this is not what I expected, and I've never been happier to have my expectations squashed.
@Parker393 uhh.. the Grateful deads pretty great "Brah" what do you listen to? that gay ass mac miller pussy? or that stupid kid cuddi gayboy? or some jsutin bieber? fucking fag
your one of those creepy f**ks that probably wacks his pud to Justin Bieber. No wonder you can't handle the dead. Instead of criticizing a great band you don't understand or don't like you should spend your time somewhere else.
Grateful Dead Will always live on. This is the soul's music and I mean soul music. My last request shall be "When I'm gone and dead... Please before you rest me to bed.... In that old cold dirt box they call a bed... Play some grateful dead tunes... and let all know that I am gratefully dead"

@missionauto goddamn man for a motherfucker that says this music sucks you sure do spend a lot of time here. do the robot troll again that shit was funny
@missionauto the arsonists aren't even comparable to the Dead. Two intensely different types of music. You obviously like the Dead if you spend so much time trash talking over their videos.
@missionauto no its just your all so butt hurt and its easy lulz.My bad you're simple minded person that likes the banjo and occasional reference to drugs and O WERE SOOO FREEEEE HIPPY BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH music then kk enjoy it simpleton.
Whoever was the kind soul that video taped this 30 years ago, you've done the universe a massive favor. For all the betamax distortion and poor audio, this has to be one of the great performances by the dead. They are ALL smiling throughout, Jerry, Bobby, Phil, Mickey. The feeling that comes across in this video goes such a long way towards explaining the Dead's lasting appeal and they KNOW they are just nailing it. The guitars ever so slightly out of tune, Bobby's harmonies just flat. Perfect.
I've been very unlucky throughout my life and I rarely happy or able to enjoy anything. I woke up in yet another terrible mood and I just wish I could dream forever. But when I watch this song I can't help but break out in a huge grin. Was I ever cheated being born in this useless generation. I hate my life & everything in it, but this song is a rare ray of sunshine :) Cheers everyone!
I was going through some olde cassette tapes and i have this album on cassette. i am personally too young to know this, but, this is a song about my favorite animal, so it caught my eye. I actually like this song after hearing it now.
I know I shouldn't dignify this with a response . . . but aside from the racist ignorance of your comment, the musical ignorance is (arguaby) even worse.
Where do you think rock & roll COMES from, matey?
Your comment makes me think that we've entered the In-tell-i-gen-ce free Zone.
the grateful dead were great performers and are one of my all time favorite bands. but guys they werent as kind as you think.. they were very narcistic people. its hard to beleieve but man they were mean.
@KLBRECH1 Actually, I have a friend that stalked around a hotel after a show in the late '70's and actually found the band's room. She got in and hung out. She said that they were all pretty cool, with the exception of Bobby. She said he was a dick... Everything I've ever heard about Jer, Phil, Mickey has been that they were straight up good guys, I've heard less good things about Bill, but don't really know that from a friend. I've told you what I've heard about Bob
I agree. I am part this whole twenty-something stage of what do I want to do and all that jazz. music is merely the expression of ones soul. no matter what style that is, who are you to judge someone elses expression? If you don`t like it, let it be and move on by. No one is forcing anyone to lsiten to anything. You have your own choice and if you choose to rip on someones creative thinking, be ready to reap the after affects.
@bluevelvetchair Bite your tongue, listen to a few dozen renditions of Stella Blue. It was Phil who was the terrible singer, and I cheered like a maniac whenever he stepped up to the mic...
i'm only 16 so i never got to see the dead with jerry, but man that would have been awesome. he seems like he was a real cool dude and would have been very interesting to talk to
Hahaha I was at a Vampire Weekend concert the other day and before the band came on they played this a couple of times... it really added to the atmosphere!!! Hilarious!!! :- D
I love many different types of music. The real problem today is if 1 band has an origional sound, every record company gets a band to mimic it. Nothing compares to this era. The sound of each band was their own and you could tell which band was playing just by hearing a couple of notes.
Theres still great music being made today however you have to search for it. As much as i like the dead/further i also like jazz, electronic, hip-hop(people under the stairs), metal to. You have to open your mind and accept all forms of music there will still be bad music in every genre. The way i see it electronic/house techno is the new psch rock the shit is amazing when your head is in the clouds.
I think that by posting a negative view of new music, youre totally pissing on the purity of the promise in the experimentalism of the 60s! I mean, if there wasnt 60s music, rock and roll couldnt have morphed into what is now alt-rock and all the sub-genres of rock, blues, punk, of which hip hop takes heavily on blues and poetry and speaking from the heart. Dont diss on hip-hop, even the airheads who make the shittiest hip hop are at least making unique noise, and thats applaudable. Deadhead.
@4everledzep wouldn't we all man! for me I probably would have gone to 65' or 66' and chilled in San Fran till 68' then hit Woodstock and basically whatever.
I really appreciate everything the dead has to offer with their music, on a hard day I just pop in some Jerry and everything seems to just become better. BUT there is good music out there today, not just kanye and lil wayne, there are OTHER alternatives to the 'hippie' generation of music, it hasn't died out, if anything it has trickled down into multiple genres of music today that is just as good and fun to listen to that definitely will give you that pick me up that 'hippie' music has to offer
Saw many a Dead show, first one RFK 72...Jerry always connected through the music, that's the key to good music, did it really move you; this still does!
It's great how the music in many Greateful Dead songs sort of finds a new meaning when you listen to the lyrics. Well it works both ways I guess, but that's when the songs become interesting. Lyrics here are weird as hell.

@KLBRECH1 Actually, I have a friend that stalked around a hotel after a show in the late '70's and actually found the band's room. She got in and hung out. She said that they were all pretty cool, with the exception of Bobby. She said he was a dick... Everything I've ever heard about Jer, Phil, Mickey has been that they were straight up good guys, I've heard less good things about Bill, but don't really know that from a friend. I've told you what I've heard about Bob

I agree. I am part this whole twenty-something stage of what do I want to do and all that jazz. music is merely the expression of ones soul. no matter what style that is, who are you to judge someone elses expression? If you don`t like it, let it be and move on by. No one is forcing anyone to lsiten to anything. You have your own choice and if you choose to rip on someones creative thinking, be ready to reap the after affects.

@bluevelvetchair Bite your tongue, listen to a few dozen renditions of Stella Blue. It was Phil who was the terrible singer, and I cheered like a maniac whenever he stepped up to the mic...

Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia - is there a better combo than that? Another fantastic tune from these legends.

I love many different types of music. The real problem today is if 1 band has an origional sound, every record company gets a band to mimic it. Nothing compares to this era. The sound of each band was their own and you could tell which band was playing just by hearing a couple of notes.

Theres still great music being made today however you have to search for it. As much as i like the dead/further i also like jazz, electronic, hip-hop(people under the stairs), metal to. You have to open your mind and accept all forms of music there will still be bad music in every genre. The way i see it electronic/house techno is the new psch rock the shit is amazing when your head is in the clouds.

I think that by posting a negative view of new music, youre totally pissing on the purity of the promise in the experimentalism of the 60s! I mean, if there wasnt 60s music, rock and roll couldnt have morphed into what is now alt-rock and all the sub-genres of rock, blues, punk, of which hip hop takes heavily on blues and poetry and speaking from the heart. Dont diss on hip-hop, even the airheads who make the shittiest hip hop are at least making unique noise, and thats applaudable. Deadhead.

I really appreciate everything the dead has to offer with their music, on a hard day I just pop in some Jerry and everything seems to just become better. BUT there is good music out there today, not just kanye and lil wayne, there are OTHER alternatives to the 'hippie' generation of music, it hasn't died out, if anything it has trickled down into multiple genres of music today that is just as good and fun to listen to that definitely will give you that pick me up that 'hippie' music has to offer

Saw many a Dead show, first one RFK 72...Jerry always connected through the music, that's the key to good music, did it really move you; this still does!

It's great how the music in many Greateful Dead songs sort of finds a new meaning when you listen to the lyrics. Well it works both ways I guess, but that's when the songs become interesting. Lyrics here are weird as hell.
