Great morning drive music.

[oleesquivel87]

This is my favorite version

[729pjp]

through the 70s, 80s and 90s this song took many turns, always in the right direction!

[Sniz420]

anyone else's hero the guy in the front row, if your a deadhead/ seen the movie a few tiems u know wat im saying

[Michaelatmo]

@Sniz420 you mean Iggy, the guy who recites the poem at the end? What a character he was, eh? Lived near me in Berkeley in those days. I was at this convert! unbelievable!

[Chopin389]

I've never seen Keith play before. I have some bootlegs from that period, but never seen him. Cool!

[PhunkyPhishPhan]

I'll never forget the first time I watched this movie. I always liked Eyes, but when I heard this one it instantly became my favorite version ever, to this day this performance still holds a very special place in my heart, so finding this on youtube was AMAZING, since I no longer have a copy of the DVD.

[roxtar10870]

Love the pyrotechnics!! Guy with a can of butane and a bic lighter.... This is true ART... Not like the overly choreographed shit that passes for music today.

[Chopin389]

@roxtar10870 That was the 70's. The world was a simpler place back then.

[saboo1979]

yeah I love the overalls guy! I was at these shows and in the movie duiring Truckin

[sandmanlip]

sometimes we live no particular way but our own

[BigHyme]

Phil is a BEAST!!!

[lonetrout]

I miss Jerry..............:(

[herrdruhl]

skin the cat and take a shower!

[JimiG54]

@maitafine: I was there. I always wanted to know who gave that plate to Billy! Good going, great that that moment got immortalized! Kudos to you.

[3dtrix]

I was at all four of the shows in this run pieced together for the movie - at the end of the last one, the tickets used for admission were passed out at the exit doors, each one stamped THE LAST ONE - it was rumored these would be the Dead's final shows. When I got mine - I said "see you at the next one." And yes - I still have it...

[axwell21]

Overalls guy FTW

[marciebeezy]

Thanks. What a great ride...

[nowhereluke]

In my opinion when Jerry began using heroin, the whole band started to play slower songs a lot ... someone agrees with me?? forgive jerry cause the stuff of heroin is very very good ..

[liberatedsage]

I prefer both

[masahurryful]

phil leshテライケメンｗｗｗ

[gavvino1]

Donna's hot.

[173rdbobby1967]

Just makes ya happy.

[ShuguProductions]

wish i could have been there.... but i was born to late. blame it on a simple twist of fate.

[5stringofFernandoSor]

I think Donna Jean put out for the whole band. Jerry especially.

[pinkus44]

coyote overall man faces

[esotericPhan]

lol i would love to be the guy whos job it was to chill on stage and shoot fireballs

[seabobinsd]

[dilfcurrie]

phils on fire here...

[ToddBoyle]

Hey (leshtricity) or anybody else, who has brought forward this priceless video. THANK YOU, omg I hope this carries forward in the future. Amazing feat, after all these years, you are GREAT. I been shooting ad recording in Seattle only 4 years, what a hassle! How did you do it?!!!

[whatthecello42]

which night is this from?

[funnykids987]

I had some of Dan Healy's tapes, a good friend of mine gave them to my husband when he and Jerry were alive. I remember going to a show and my friend was very angry that someone was trying to give Jerry coke when he was trying to quit at the time. Goog ol' Jerry G shuffle. Gotta love it! RIP Jerry. <3

[sharegrace]

@funnykids987 Did Dan Healy pass away? Do you have details?

God bless the soul Of Dan and Jerry

[mikestrat56]

72-74 was the best time for the Dead. Or, maybe it seemed that way 'cause it was high school and we were usually stoned. OK.... It was both ;-)

[Pohjoiskarjalainen]

@mikestrat56 I like your comment :-) even if I was only just born in '72 :-) I think 72-74 was the best time for a lot of people, weed or not. Seems like there weren't as many problems and hang-ups and bad attitudes and stuff. Anyway, liked your comment - cheers!

[mikestrat56]

@Pohjoiskarjalainen Thank you. Hopefully your time was as special for you as mine was for me. I think we had the same issues and problems., though. Time does tend to idealize the past. But, I am sincerely glad that I'm not a kid, now. Their lives are FAR more complicated and their future is looking bleak at best.

[mikeA6q]

Is it just me, or is the sound quality on this YouTube Version weak? I wonder if it couldn't be reloaded in a higher quality so it isn't all fucked up.

[wralmost22]

hahaha that guy scratching his chin is frying all hard...

ugh i was born in the wring century.

[ryanlweiler]

@wralmost22 me to

[morvelification]

love the bass solo :)

go phil!

[kcat0866]

WOW thats insane;what an experience,pleasure words can describe the feeling i'm sure!!!!

[blacksdocrack]

bass solo! fuck yeah!

[daysbetween67]

it gotta be a combo--and raerly to both boy and girl work in this manner---his timing is on---hes not rushing it---it sounds energetic--not too speedy----i like him either way--a slower tempo however seems to be funkier to me

[EarlieGee]

My hands-down favorite Grateful Dead song!

[bennyvega100]

this was the Dead's weirdest sound system...I mean that in a good way.

[YellowJullyfish]

you gotta love the guy who knows the poem!

[booblies]

Grateful Dead is really something!

[PubliusNV]

I entered UC Berkeley as a grad student in September 1974, and was in the audience this night, although well back from the stage. My roommate and I had spent many hours on the sidewalk outside Winterland that morning in line for tickets. Thanks for posting this video, it really brings back the memories.

[kc42101]

What's the deal with the Mics? Are they old school stereophonic?

[laneiam]

You have no clue )not being nasty) what "those were the days" rally mean to some people. Like the days they had the wall of sound up. Noone ever talks about that. When I went to Alpine Valley, the summer after 9=11., I was so reminded of "the days". I'm 58 and have been a dead head since the mid 70's allthough I like the change when the 80's came. But those were the days

[cormacgraham1]

jer ber über alles!

[4britt2babe0]

iv been to a dead show, too bad i was only 2 geen jerry died.

[markablanton]

I love this song!!!

[MrStavi1990]

jerrrrry <3 the dead will live on forever!!!

[Dennybeeify]

The DEAD will LIVE forever!

[allmyfriends77]

Love the little fire burst there. Seems a little dangerous but pretty cool. I was born 3 years after this and watching this for the first time is pretty cool. There is so much more Grateful Dead for me to hear and see. I'm a late bloomer in this world, but my collection is growing and growing. I like the little tiny mic he sings into. Then there is another mic below that one.

[janeldudleybeads]

One of my most favorite songs by the Dead!

[ullasofa]

Wow, thank you for this amazing vid, I was at the Meadowlands in NJ years ago, where The Band played for six hours, then the Dead for six hours. It was summer, warm, everyone was happy, and the concert went from 6 pm until 6 am -- those WERE the days.

[griffinmpable]

happy birthday jerry!

[likooMaui]

I was at UCSC during this epoch and was so lucky to have caught all these shows, it' makes me melancholy listening. It was a great moment in time... I used to write set lists on postcards and mail them to friends. A new year's concert they started to set up a second drum kit, right away I knew it was for Micky Hart. The tickets were given back to us when we left which were stamped "The Last One" - it was just before their hiatus. Still have the ticket...

[JudyPepNY]

WOW... great to see this.. I was around listening to the Dead back then...Good to see the boys without their touch of gray!

[hlb53]

After all these years this song still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.Saw them around the same year on the east coast..Awsome vid.

[rpdugoni]

I was right in front of the stage for 2 concerts from this run. Took some b/w pictures one of the nights. It is a great memory...

[maitaifine]

unfortunately i have no photos of my van...just great memories...especially of the dead playing thurs to sun shows at the fillmore...when you would be given a poster and an apple as you exitted...i remember a winterland benefit show when the dead, airplane, quicksilver and santana played with everyone drinking from garbage cans of electric kool aid...and then there was the 1971 new year's show when as you entered you were given a card with a 250mg tab of owsley acid affixed to it...what a trip!

[Outerzoom]

I like how Phil stands out a lot in this version. He has some great melodic moments. Very akin to Berry Oakley from ABB.

[MrPokey3681]

I see Fritz in this video...

[rosset707]

this is my 2nd favorite song and show 10/19/1974 Winterland very organic,pretty accents and fluid drum rolls,it goes places,my favorite song is New Potatoe Caboose 2/14/1968 Carousel Ballroom,damn I'm lucky to be from the bay area :}

[schomusthemoney]

I was at that concert, a lost 17 year old, but I found Jesus 6 years later and have never looked back.

[DenvrDave]

The best GD video on YouTube.

[polarisak]

There was this dude who lived downstairs from us at Suny Morrisville... He would play this song Everyday at 8 AM... Very loud.. we would shower shit and shave.. drink coffee and so on to this song every morning!!! I miss you Ben Katz.. I think of your ass every time I hear this....

[schmax31]

Nice license plate, dude

[MegaSabbath666]

amazing. just perfect in its imperfect way.

[motherbrain86]

oh donna jean is such a fox

[bwanna23]

Ha Ha! At 5:00 those kids probably danced like that at a Dead concert some 20 years later.

[maitaifine]

...i had just given billy my "dead" license plate right before this video begins....bobby had called me up to the stage when he saw me dancing in the crowd with the "dead" plate held high over my head....my volkswagen van with jerry's pic painted on the front vw circle never had a front license plate again after billy put it on his bass drum...

[leshtricity]

@maitaifine you're shittin me....that was you?

[maitaifine]

...a much younger me...perhaps you could post a video with the entire license plate scene...thanks for the memories...there was nothing like a grateful dead concert...

[stuntrocker666]

holy shit! that is you and that is so awesome!!!

[NealMcProblem1]

@maitaifine ~~~ That just friggn rules. There must be video of it right?? I think some of that footage was IN the GDMovie if I remember correctly. what an experience. dig~

[gfeck1]

Thanks, that was a great break from the tunes. Never forget it and I'm glad we all made it into the movie. That made us all realize we were part of the family

[fv593duys]

@maitaifine What a memory huh?? Not only to be seen giving the plate away but to even be at a Winterland show!! I have seen the video many times over and still tear up. My plate on my old VW read BCNUJER and I left it at a shrinei in the haight on 8-9-96, the day I married my beautiful wife. I would love to see some photo's of your old bus and I can return some of mine.....peace!! I will send you a message on tour acct.

[fensterchunster]

@maitaifine great !

[droman30]

@maitaifine That's awesome!

[YellowJullyfish]

@maitaifine are you they guy in the overalls? I've seen some of this movie but I was too stoned to remember.

[jigr925]

@maitaifine EPIC!

[SDpadresSD]

@maitaifine that so freaking cool! was that really you!?

[douchechillum]

@maitaifine You gotta post pics man.

[TheLongestMile]

@douchechillum why?

[RUSSIANRAZORBURN]

Dude trippin face in the beginning never gets old !~:)

[stuntrocker666]

i love stoked overhalls dude. he is intensely stoked.

[marcopolo023]

Thanks for posting this. I had this dvd till some old hipster ruined it hhaha no worries. amazing video. Jerry is truly a jedi

[ClueSign]

This will come out wrong but I like Jerry's playing on coke so much better than his playing on heroin. Please don't flame me, I'm just making an observation.

[pyrotech8285]

i have to agree with you dude

[leshtricity]

@ClueSign i prefer heroin jerry myself.

[josiahscovel]

Jerry didn't start C or H until after around 76-78 I'm pretty sure.

[ClueSign]

@josiahscovel I really don't know...but there were some REALLY fast-tempo shows in 1974...H came later, when things....slowed....way...way.­..way...down...

[lesliej1000]

@ClueSign Jerry was an awesome musician without the c and h! Wish he would have just stayed with m.He might still be playin in the band!!Miss him!

[LadyAltheaIsMe]

@ClueSign I prefer live jerry to dead jerry

[blewis2460]

@ClueSign LSD and pot Jerry was the Jerry I preferred. I wish he would have stayed away from those other chemicals.

[bobshenix]

@blewis2460

I agree with you but it's ironic that the year Jerry really started flirting with a heroin habit was the year he played his best and most consistent guitar work-- the legendary 1977 tour.

He was still enjoying the heroin high, IMO, it was inspiring him and he felt great. His downfall, like all heroin addicts, is when the negatives outweighed the positives of using dope. Unfortunately he did not have the strength to leave it behind him. RIP JG

[wobrien007]

@bobshenix

Unfortunately, you are right......he fucked up and kept going back to heroin and eventually it killed him.

[3000jman]

@blewis2460 yeah, however, it was his weight that killed him not the drugs. the drugs didn't help obviously, but they weren't what killed him

[jordanfan1023]

@ClueSign is this Jerry on coke or heroin?

[ClueSign]

@jordanfan1023 The tempo is fast, Jerry's eyes are clear and his playing is focused, brisk, and crisp...he makes eye contact with the other band members and physically he moves his body-it's coke. You can compare this to later Jerry where's he's slumped over his guitar and looks like he's barely conscious. It's just brain chemistry: both drugs are dangerous, illegal and have a deletrius effect. I preferred to see Jerry "showing up" on all levels rather than being a prop. God rest his soul.

[jordanfan1023]

@ClueSign Thank you. I just wasn't sure how to tell the difference. Thanks for clearing that up. RIP Jerry.

[k20no0bie]

@ClueSign How do you know the man's not tripping? I just saw the movie last night in theatres and they made it a focus to zoom in on jerry and bob's eyes showing huge dilated pupils. That in combination with the interview with bob in the beginning where he is clearly tripping makes me think they most likely were dosed during this performance.. Just my 2 cents

[eskrod1]

@ClueSign

i tend to agree. heroin killed him.

[jimmorrisonmylove]

jazzy :)

[SatounoKumo]

wow I just got very emotional by watching this and I was born two decades later :)

...there's no music alike these days

[leshtricity]

@SatounoKumo same here, my friend! two decades later...but this music is alive and well. and really there isn't anything like this out there. it's inherently magical. like for reals.

[SatounoKumo]

(Y)

[guitarman0478]

@SatounoKumo also born two decades later and luckily we got dso and furthur to go to!

[Crosses2Bear]

This cut made it on the "So Many Roads" box set~

[Chickiee2]

This is from the movie!!

[Freedomisnorml420]

amazing. :')

[leshtricity]

ain't it? :D
