Deal (Grateful Dead)

[Lisica2008]

Donna sounds good. 

[hoot6theyre]

agreed..

[deadhead324]

I love this song! My band plays it all the time. Too bad I wasn't able to see The Dead with Jerry. If only I was born earlier than 93

[parsnickenny]

I love watchin Donna groove!

[SlyMcdoogal]

i like the grateful dead

[voodoochili12]

As much as I like crowd noise, over two minutes of it is a little much.

[pcburgh01]

Don't you let that deal go down!

[Joseph364015]

cool tape the dead are.

[pcburgh01]

love this clip. very cool. It is amazing how many years this band spans and the amount of material/footage/songs are still out there. True American icon; The Grateful Dead.

[blueroad99]

I like how the song doesn't start for 2:20 mins...kinda puts ya there..member?

[justanotherdeadhead]

for all the great shows that were recorded, it's a shame they were never filmed as avidly.

[heyjunky]

yeah, i agree. but thanks to youtube i'm seeing all sorts of heady clips left n right i otherwise would not have ever run into. sweet Deal, by the way

[garybletsch]

Takes me back, cruising around the Great Basin Desert with my trusty cassette deck blaring this tune out the window to the Sage Thrashers!

[louiseduvee]

Damn, they did so many great shows. Thanks!

[fiman16]

hey guys i have a version on my computer of this song and the length of it is 9:48 . do any of you know what live album that might be off of?

[VB1UN]

it could have been that you have the recording of them playing it the next day because they played two shows at same place two days in a row

[wobbly585]

You could try 'movin on to Buffalo.' Regardsx

[SweepingTiger]

Downhill From Here  album ?

[louiseduvee]

On 'Bear's Choice',  they did a cover of 'Smokestack Lightning'. The time is right.

[4xhot]

i love this song

[Shlotzkin]

6:25 is hilarious

[the43k]

GOD BLESS JERRY! This is one of my favorite tunes. Great look into a time long ago!

[FrankHenke]

I totally agree with you brother.

[theperson37]

Why is there such a scarcity of Dead legacy on Youtube? I mean there's a lot, but there are barely any classic shows of Deal other than this one! Or Help on the Way! And now there's no '71 version for Uncle John's Band either! Doesn't anybody agree?

[setboy1]

Not many " classic shows" were video taped

[UncleSlam81]

@theperson37 Shit yeah, you can't even find the damn video for Hell In A Bucket on here. Why anybody would want to I don't know, but Lord knows I've tried.

[prophetdude2]

@theperson37 couldn't agree more, I really only appreciate the pigpen years anyways.

[homerjay87]

@theperson37

because taping, especially video taping was hardly around in 1971. especially quality bitchy people these days would be willing to watch

[silvr90210]

@theperson37 well thepiratebay(use at your own risk because of the new sopa act) has all the dead sound bords from 66 on to 96 9 gigs each usualy 2 seasons per year. The grateful dead said that their music is for the world and it is. Archive.org(com?) has alot of dead. And on a side note, thepiratebay should still be okay to download GD from because it is not copyrighted(well the albums are)

[rossbmarshall1]

'Deal' was on Jerry's first solo album - "Garcia"

[brandtsupremecy]

what album was deal on?

[jerseyjack]

for some reason it seemed in the early 90's I couldn't get to a show without hearing this one...Great jam tho

[grtfl]

Bobby looks funny with a beard

[RussKvideo]

Loolds Funny? Have you seen hime lately?

[yaiknowscrewme]

<-perkd haahaha funny how we ended up in teh same place lol..goes to show..

[CASEYJONZ731]

hey now..i was able 2 get my hands on this videio in 1983 from a good freind who went to germany to see the band and i have had that show on VHS ever since..what energy and what a show,,thanks gents

[bschmidt426]

Great performance, but the beginning of this clip just reminds me how rude 70's Deadheads were.

[MrSharkey11]

Hey bschmidt462, It must have been the east coast where the concerts were ass kicking! Not tamed like CA.

[JoeLeslie70]

I love you tube....do you remember copying your Deadhead buddies tapes. This is so easy!!!!

[louiswinthorpe3]

This is definitely my favorite axe of Jerry's. I wish he had kept playing his Travis Bean. I loved the tone of this guitar. cheetotito, I thought it was the Travis Bean Artist model axe of his that went up for auction.

I think this is the last three single-coil guitar Jerry played before going back to a modified Wolf in late 1977.

[Paul4peace]

I dont know what I've been told but if the horse wont pull ya got to carry the load!

[perkd45]

no offense meant but you do realise thats from a different song right?

[Paul4peace]

just trippin out perkd, no offence taken!

[Bobweirhead]

sweet solo

[terripin99]

GOTTA LOVE IT- - 2.24 BEFORE THE DEAD EVEN GET INTO IT- -

My favorite era-70,s shows- -

[aejabassist13]

peace and love man...

[wolfkarel]

donna was so fine..........i love that hair.....how come girls don't wear their hair like that anymore :(

[cheetotito]

My Bust, it appears this isn't the same one going up for Auction. But still, one of Jerries Beans is up for Auction next month.

[cheetotito]

The Travis Bean you see here is going up for Auction Next Month!!!! Get your pennies together and keep an eye on the situation! And yea those Travis Beans are amazing guitars, very unique tone.

[jbb2888]

Hey, Ron Jeremy in the front row at 7:15. Damn, that guy is everywhere...

[luigivocaturo]

am i the only one that wants to see Donna fall of the fucking stage...haha..oh jerry,,,u just simply rock

[Gr8fulTedC]

Actually, Donna was graceful and a very mesmerizing presence on stage. Some dude climbed up on the stage in Indy, 1976?, and tried to dance with her. Many of the soundboard recordings fail to compensate for her return to the vocals, causing some to grimace.

[GarysCreek]

Hey thats me! 2nd row with the boys! What a long strange trip its been.

[socali47]

Do we have to wonder or are we to just assume that teenage kids still consume large amounts of LSD and listen to the dead?

Oh.... We can only Hope!

[darkscarecrow]

oh man this is such a great tune!!!

me and my friends jam to this like theres no tomorrow, man!

its so awesome

[AfterFiveMidnight]

An entire concert on youtube, featuring Bob weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. Only on AfterFiveMidnight channel. 3 hours of video put here to share with you. Have fun fellow heads and enjoy.

[martinvfphoto]

Please . . if nothing else . . . make sure . . that the last thing you do . . is let that deal go down . . . on second thought . .. not even then . . . . NEVER let that deal go down . . . obviously . . you'd be a fool if you did.

[Tacosof91]

What guitar is Jerry using? Is this pre-Wolf? It's not Alligator...but looks like a Strat a bit..anyone?

[TedKelly1]

The guitar is his Travis Bean - one of his pre-Irwin favorites

[mrtfrank]

Its a Travis Bean alluninum guitar.

[mjcglf]

Only the neck is alluminum.The body is Koa.

[elizabethmilligan]

I'm so happy watching these old shows I'm crying. Brings back great memories (and some foggy ones) of shows gone by...

[drippypoo]

for the love of god, don't let that deal go down.

[abreidenbach]

billy k is the shit.

[timeshavechanged]

are they wit the band

[wobrien007]

Good ole 1977 - what a great year for the Dead. Garcia was healthy for possibly the last time in his life, Bobby had that stupid disco beard, Donna was wearing the matronly dresses and trying to stay on key, and Keith was just trying to stay awake at the piano. Man, did they rock both East Coast tours that year. This footage is grainy and the 1st 2 minutes have got to go, but Garcia really winds it up at the end. Deal was always a terrific 1st set closer.

[boochocks]

How about shaving two minutes off the begining? Still... thank you for posting this jewel!!
