Grateful Dead - The Wheel (Studio Version)

[Spparadise420]

And if the thunder don't get ya then the lightin will...this song reminds me hangin with my dad in the den when i was like 5...that and foothills :)

[MrStuVW]

This song was actually on Jerrys 1971 solo album with Billy Kreutzmann, Jerry playing all instruments and Billy playing all percussion, a Most incredible album Indeed and so very full in my heart... God i miss you Jerry.

[YoungButDeadicated]

Ahhhhhh man. Those pedal steel leads get me every time. You have to watch this with the cartoon off the Grateful Dead Movie. Life changing.

[MrJas1991]

@YoungButDeadicated

that movie is so psychedelic lol

[mynameisERRL410]

this song makes me want to float away into the sky and then hug my friends

[DanteCubit3000]

It's best to say that this is a Jerry Garcia song frequently covered by the Dead. Only two of the Dead's members played on this studio version: Bill on drums and Jerry on everything else. That said, I always loved this seeing this song played live, whether it was by The Jerry Garcia Band or The Grateful Dead. Such a great song.

[sifeb1956]

when i die if i hear i this song then i know i will have lived a good life .never will forget you jerry go raibh mhaith agat!

[ginzy65]

[ronvosh1]

[DivineMoleculeDMT]

Had to listen to this song because of Terrence Mckenna. If anyone gets it than thumbs up to you. =)

[lagging199527]

@DivineMoleculeDMT Exactly why I'm listening to it.

[Hootowl54]

I still have this vinyl. It was a Jerry Garcia solo album, not the Grateful Dead. He played almost all the instrumental parts. It's a GREAT song! Thanks for posting! :-)

[Boz6699]

@Hootowl54 I's has it's as well! (album on vinyl)! (and, psst, the one's who have posted will figure out who did what album and under what name soon enough, ;D )

[RoadNasty]

@themusicmatterz A great song, spacey and beautiful - I used to hear it a lot back in the middle and late 70's out in Colorado via free form radio stations on the air at the time - KTCL in Ft. Collins, etc.

[Messirocks6]

could someone post  the studio version of china cat sunflower please? it is my favourite song by them but i can't find it anywhere

[Tombstoneblues19]

One of my faves!! Grateful Dead will always be a part of me. Thanks for posting.

[mayabelle1107]

Ahhhh.... Did someone say end of the day shroomcake, beer, doobie and a cig?

[peggy986]

@mayabelle1107 I'm having a very early doobie....

[wingman572]

[MobileAppearance]

thinking of Alpine Valley wisconsin with some great friends and a girl I really loved,,,,,a thunderstorm was happening I will always feel that very moment with this song

[TheHuester44]

@MobileAppearance I was there too .good times , great memories

[soundserious]

[brett1234]

[kilofranable]

[TheDickwashboard]

[BBJerry8colorado]

[fotiurocks]

wouldn't mind this as a MP3 download.

Great song.

[robpavi1]

@fotiurocks search youtube mp blah blah if i type it out they wont post it but it converts files to mps

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

All I got in were 3 shows in Southern Cal '89-'91. My friend said that it was something I just had to experience in order to appreciate. From the villiage in the parking lot to the stage contorting before your mind's eye...I was told to 'REMEMBER YOUR ZIP CODE"...and back down to earth I'd arrive.

GREAT GRAPHICS TOO!!!!!!!! Hail organics!

[WEIR4EVER]

Really like all your Stealies !

[pat21502]

Spin that Wheel !!!

[mmagaraci]

Tears , Smiles , Goosebumps , thanks Jerry ! :-)

[bendbadgersteve]

Western sky music for the mind. There might be better pedal steel players but none more spacey than Garcia.

[muz977ify]

please put eep hour, and spidergawd on this >>:)

[83RebelRanger]

Finally someone put the studio version of this song. One of the best dead songs ever

[legunncat]

@83RebelRanger Technically it's a Jer song, but I love it also.

[skbhopps]

@83RebelRanger damn straight

[jamessterlingyoung]

Standing outside my room at the Super 8 in Lovell Wyoming at sundown , watching a freight train hauling by, sorry, this tune is like a memory mirror

[jenniandrea1]

@jamessterlingyoung yh, the medicine wheel is up in the mountains near there

[trfesok]

Thanks a lot! If you also get "Sugaree", "Bird Song" and "Deal" uploaded, that would be great!

[arizona1979100]

def one of my fav dead tunes

[lateforthesky61]

Like seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time...a majestic and unforgettable mind trip via Jerry Garcia's mastery of the pedal steel guitar!!

[kooneya]

Its all the love!
