  • Listen to those bends.Love it

  • nice

  • Okay I wasn't gonna respond but I saw the stupidest comment, The Grateful Dead is hands down the best band and I say that without ever seeing jerry perform with them.

  • 1/5 shows were good... Must got the bad batch that was going around

  • Noticed Senor Garcia playing a Strat... Wtf.. Good things...

  • What's with the continous bass solo throughout the entire song? 

  • @LetzBeaFranque It's called Phil Lesh.... Dig it...

  • @mayabelle1107 I don't dig it and the music suffers because of it - his playing is arhythmic. I saw the dead at least 4 times in the 70s and the were lousy every time. It was too bad because Garcia was brilliant. A friend of mine who is a reformed Deadhead says that 1 out of 5 shows were good. That's 20% - that's an F.

  • @LetzBeaFranque man if you don't dig it don't come around here cause the rest of us do dig it, all of them were brilliant and the dead had their lousy shows as does every other band that's out there. The Dead were the best at what they did and that is all that matters to deadheads.

  • @LetzBeaFranque That is actually laughable for you to say that to dead heads. Phil Lesh is my favorite member of the band is quite a unique and interesting bass player. The Dead tried to play dixie electric. It seems like you pretend to know a lot about music, but do you really. Listen to some Dixie Jazz of the early 1900's to check out multiple musicians improving solos over a melody.

  • Jerry missed his calling. He should have been a literature professor. Anyone know if they still sell Phil's spectacles?

  • Can anyone tell me what kind of bass Phil is playing in this video? Thanks.

  • @pdeyo001

    if im not mistaken, it was one of the first alembics

  • @pdeyo001

    it's an alembic modified guild starfire with dearmond/hagstrom pickups and active electronics

  • How does anyone listen to the Grateful Dead & not wanna get up and dance?!

  • @icecoldhubbas yeah, it was the wrong place for that comment. but if its all the same I'll stick to pussy

  • NOOOORRRTH Bound Trainnnnn

  • Comment removed

  • @dukkhatron eat penis. maybe you came to the wrong place

  • Too bad you left out China Cat Sunflower.

  • There's nothing you can say. Either you got it or not. Beyond the absolute best.

  • I made the'major mistake of choosin' to blow my  -hard-earnt' cash goi'n (again)to India :when i was cosidering going to Egypt for theG,Dead Concert at the great pyramids [edge of cairo]...always regretted it!!!!!!creashonrebel@yahoo.co­m

  • The 72-73 China->Riders were a tour de force! Jerry on that strat was lovely.

  • Wow! Very nice!

  • LOL Quaaludes had 714 printed on them...I popped two one fine afternoon and proceeded to load a bulldozer on a truck; almost killed my ass at the age of 19...

  • :) QC

  • Can anyone think of any combination of guitarists that played as well together as Bob and Jerry? I can't.

  • @pcburgh01 Only one other pair: Keith Richards and Mick Taylor.

  • @pcburgh01 Duane Allman and Dicky Betts

  • @Andrewwernick you just made me slap forehead with a resounding DUH!!!! You my friend, win the prize. A compliment from me. You have a very original screen name. Is it yours? Andrew is a nice name. Please play again.

  • @pcburgh01 the only 2 other rock bands that have chemistry like the dead with rhythm n lead is guns n roses and aerosmith in my opinion

  • @brunosmovies two great bands, no doubt, But I give the improvisation skills of Bob and Jerry the gold star. 

  • @pcburgh01 good point!

  • @brunosmovies thank you. good day sir or madam. 

  • @brunosmovies shi-i-t. not en. not ever.

  • Smiles!

  • groovy baby!!!! lol Yeaaaa! pfffff lol

  • Jerry's greatest tone, ever.

  • the mean jellybeans doin' there thang.......i've heard this so many times my little pubes were just gettin' curly the 1st time.....by the 3rd time thru my pubes looked like jerrys beard......."this'll put some hair on yer chest" my cousin said after he bought it for me.....oh the changes.....i wanna go back!!!!!!

  • Iggy's right - it's the Strat Grahman Nash gave Jerry. It's also by this time been modded by the Alembic cats and features the custom brass tail piece and the brass cover plate over the knobs.

  • @ChynaRider Correct! This is the '57 Strat that Graham gave Jerry....a.k.a "Alligator." He played Alligator exclusively on the '72 Europe tour, which ended up being the guitar's swan song. In may of '73, Jerry received the incredible and legendary "Wolf."

  • One can switch/customize pick-ups, can't one? Garcia wasn't non-adept at rearranging pick-ups and electrical configurations-at all. Besides, a strat has a deeper cutaway underneath the neck, where it joins the body

    The guitar is a Strat! A 1957 'natural' (wood-finish) given to him by Graham Nash....just looked it up. The Harley-Davidson sticker clinched it for me as being the guitar from the Euro '72 tour...peaceout!

  • Vintage! Thanks for posting!

  • That's not a tele that Jerry's playing, it's a strat. Look at the characteristic three pick ups, with the angled bridge pickup and the individual string saddles in the bridge. The tele has the strings paired in the bridge and only two pickups, a bridge and a neck pickup.

  • Miss Jerry...

    

  • 6 people are truly just dead..and not dead groovy like us..

  • C'mon Dead Vaults, why isn't this available on DVD? Surely the Copenhagen gig warrants an official release and not just the nuggets Deadheads have to mine out on You Tube (but thanks for posting anyway ;) )

  • tempo map located at meanspeed music review- median expected tempo = 89.5 bpm, an exceptionally optimistic tempo.

    is,us

  • A little online research suggests Jerry must here be playing the Natural '57 Fender Stratocaster Graham Nash gave him. I love the sound of Fenders. Jer played a variety of guitars over the years, but in the early '70s often favoured Fender Strats. The Grateful Dead with Fender lead guitar has the dead perfect Dead sound = The best ear & soul massage (for me, at least)!

  • @Bobjb999 ..I fully agree with you....Jerry and that Strat....music to my ears...

  • @chestercopperpot359 That's not a stratocaster. It's a telecaster.

  • @iggyaztec Woops! You're correct sir! Well at least I had the Fender part right aye??? :-}

  • This was such an amazing time. I think they were one of the best and most versatile bands around. They played and played and played on. No one except the dead ever knew how long the shows would be. Endless jams flowed into endless jams. It was magic.

  • Head West All Around this Globe 4Europe Fest 2Sense great impact waz whenzen+

  • if your not a HEAD, then you're DEAD

  • Awesome video! Lovin Phil at the 4:51 mark...Jerry is in top form too!

  • Phil Lesh! You fucking rule!

  • This just put me in such a better mood.

  • Which one is pig pen?

  • @Urbanomad22 He played the organ, so he's off to the right off camera, i didn't actually catch a shot of him but i may have missed it... Shortly after this he passed away, in '73, in fact he stopped touring for a while after the europe 72 tour, as his health was deteriorating... He wasn't prominent in china>rider, but take a look at a lovelight and you'll see him leading the jam with his vocals...

  • @Urbanomad22

    He died in the early 70's....very sad

  • @Urbanomad22

    the guy on the piano

  • PHILBOBBY2.

  • JERRY WE WUV U SO MUCHO.

  • either they were too high or didn't have shit to smoke. broke ass haters.

  • sooo sick

  • I had the pleasure and the privilege of seeing the Dead 3 times on the Euro '72 tour and this vid brings it back to life like it was yesterday:-) The Dead are immortal...

  • @ClaireSapphyck

    woah, and I thought I was cool cause I had it on vinyl...

  • @ClaireSapphyck

    i hate you.

    why is there not any vid of one of my europe '72 songs, "you win again"

  • @edslides1  Sorry! ;-)

  • @ClaireSapphyck - Do tell - which concerts? 

  • @Bearses Hi Bearses ~ Thanks or the interest, apologies for the late response, it's those new YT settings! The concerts were 8 April '72, Wembley Empire Pool (legendary Dark Star), 23 May Lyceum (my birthday) and 26 May Lyceum (album sides 5 & 6) ~ bunked off from boarding school without permission for this one! Am I glad I did that:-) One of the greatest nights of my life:-) Stay cool!

  • 5:46 - 6:00 burns deep

  • my parents were deadheads i saw the grateful dead i think 3 times and jgb a couple of times my dad has all the deadhead stuff and a all of the tapes when jerry died he went into a depression and had everything laid out in his room.

  • I can totally relate to wishing to be a headlight on a northbound train; shining my light through the cool Colorado rain.

  • to play dire wolf when i was younger and i still only play dead and bob dylan songs! i just want to say thanks to everybody who was at winterland 77, scarfire changed my life!

  • both of my parents are deadheads so i grew up listening to all this music! when i graduated high school, i inherited my pops entire collection of dead memorabilia, ticket stubs, records, mix tapes...basically everything he had from his bum years. i have listened to the songs, gotten lost in the tie dyes he made, and held the ticket stubs with my eyes closed, trying to picture what a dead show sounded like, felt like, every single day since. i learned to play the acoustic guitar just to be able >

  • @chezystezy I can relate. My parents are also Deadheads. I've gotten almost all of their T-shirts and a bunch of posters/wall art stuff. The stubs and stickers my dad refuses to let go of. He brings them out sometimes when he listens to music. :) The tapes he still has, too, because they're still perfectly playable. I've been trying to get him to let me make them into CDs. I prefer them to the CDs you can buy, even the concerts like Filmore West or Knickerbocker.

  • @TheMiilydork your dad's tapes deserve to be remastered and posted on the live music archive. they'll find their audience there. an amazing resource - there are thousands of dead shows on there.

  • Such an amazing group, I'm 24 years old from spain and I've discovered them recently, i'm telling everyone because everybody should listen to them.

    I'm jealous of all of you guys who were there in the 70's. LONG LIVE GRATEFUL DEAD, LONG LIVE THE 70'S

  • @xarls naw man not long live the 70s. they came and they went, those of us who never lived through them (myself included) can not know what they were like. you should say long live good, positive energy and positive vibe music, music performed by truly talented musicians, and enjoyed by lovely and special people! im stoked you found the dead man, keep it real

  • my ALL time favorite dead

  • This is the best way I can explain it

    Picture my brain as an empty cereal bowl. Jerry's guitar leads are like a fast and furious scattering of delicious Fruity Pebbles floating down from above. Phil is the whole milk pouring in slowly but steadily, absorbing the flavor of the Pebbles but also giving its own satisfying smoothness and full body to the mix. Bobby is the bran muffin that might go good with it sometimes, sometimes not, and Bill and Mickey are the spoon bringing it all back home

  • @axwell21 bobbys sick you prolly cant tell whos playing what they both know exzactly what to do

  • @axwell21 Is Donna your obnoxious mother your wails annoyingly at you and kills the vibe?

  • WHERE DID YOU GET THIS FOOTAGE?! Is it on a DVD? And is the entire Europe '72 performance filmed? I apologize in advance if this is easy to get this footage and I just haven't looked for it first.

  • dead are talkin in this, way more so than in other sheet I've seen....probably cause they were younger and knew no better

  • Phil me up.

  • I want to just set the queue. oopsies.

    Just tried to sell. no go at the Allman's it took Jim twice as long for his also. He did spend a LOT of time yelling and bitching me to cramp in the car. We need a van for road trips uck. I sold in two lots at Further and spent spent. It was fun and poofy.

  • now I want Franklin's Tower @ Radio City1...

    Aesop's fable sprat consults dolphin. I am the ORCA

    How goes it?

  • fantastic

  • @Patrick272012 where did you see me? I was in two lots.

    Nothing is gonna bring him back

  • Furthur is great. I never appreciated how much Bob & Phil contributed to the Grateful Dead sound. It really was a band effort. What a great job!

  • @96BusterMr we are headed to Hampton and Charleston or Boca and another FL show. Jim is using my training to tie dye now. He will then print. Last moment on his artist and T-shirt funds. If we do Fl. I may be able to just 'work the system'. I dunno how so I will try to shazam still. I wanna will call it if he call be less lunar than I for that one moment I am not. We suffer often, at times not on the very same twip.

  • He is gone. I miss him.

  • @Thaxton Jer?

  • @Lottabean what happened?

  • this is great. thanks for the posting

  • dude the tie dye amps are fuckin amazing.

  • This song reminds me of all the people that have passed on in my life.It's sad it's hard but it's true.

  • @gratefulant1 Like a steam locomotive, rolling down the tracks, their gone, gone. And nothings gona bring them back.

  • @JimmyPage97 Bird Song is a good one.RIP Janis Joplin

  • @gratefulant1 Totally on board.

  • fantastic in all regards, performance and quality. A+

  • One of the better Riders, Jerry's doing a good job on vocals and on that Strat.

  • strat with a duo sonic control plate.....huh?

  • 2:00 til 2:30 is fucking epic mindd blowing .

  • @andrewmunro44 The piano? I always loved how much the piano could add to the deads music. Its always very quietly playing behind...but sometimes it just sticks out. So sweet to me. 

  • Feel like I supported these guys myself by buying and losing so many Dead albums. Ran into fellow DeadHead at a doctors office, of all places the only thing we couldn't agree on was what was there best songs.

  • @bboner2

    went to the docs for a bad back and he breaks out his cell phone pics of shows he went to and he gets all excited and is like "look! look!

    needless to say i recieved a favorable outcome concerning that visit...

  • I actually saw them on this tour - was 16 at the time. But never mind. More to the point I've never seen this clip before. And I'm AMAZED that even after all these years I can see this clip and still sit shaking my head in disbelief when it's finished. What a wonderful band!!!

  • One of my favorites indeed! Grate tour, the best! Love and miss ya JG. R.I.P.

  • I was buried with the Grateful Dead and I woke up a Parrothead...

  • @jjustinharper Well that is a shame... because Jimmy Buffett is a tool.

  • @GrandaddyPhunk ouch, judge the man. Im sure you like knew him though...

  • @JimmyPage97 Actually, I now manage the Margaritaville in Pensacola Beach and have had the opportunity to meet Jimmy several times... and my opinion stays the same. He is a tool. I'm not saying his music sucks... he just sucks as a person.

  • @GrandaddyPhunk In short terms, I don't think we should judge a person on: 1) "opportunities" to meet them. 2) when we never personally knew them anyways. 3) or when your at margaritaville and its Jimmy Buffett (OF COURSE he'd act like a tool, thats like Elvis walking into Nashville)

    But either way my opinion of Jimmy Buffet has always been that he is no more then a beach bum drunk who made it big in the music industry because of timing, luck, and half decent singing and guitar playing.

  • @JimmyPage97 fuck jimmy buffet

  • @brunosmovies yea thats a good point you made. I see no possible arguments towards that whatsoever

  • @brunosmovies fuck jimmy page 2

  • @klmclau how can you say that?

  • Work it out !!!! Whoooooo!YeAAAHHHHHH!

  • good ol' Keith...i love the corny nod he gives Jerry after his trippy singing part :D

  • rockin' in the big time. i had an opp to see the dead do europe once and missed it. then, after phil graham announced the dead were headed to china i started investigating how to go but alas it never happened....

  • @MayorMichaelShell like Egypt...& boy was I fool for not trippin over to Vegas in 94, like "O I'll go next year" cuz I was just that confident, the music would never stop. I'm SO grateful for every show I did go, even those really hard allnight drives along the coast after workin all week, then playin so hard, dancin so fast, how I ever made it - workn those angels overtime!

  • @mythtree

    watch out for the day the music dies...

  • @Johnystoo1 already drunk whiskey, & Ry -

    as the last train coasted by,

    sang out bye Vai, miss american pi,

    drive the fender to 11 as the end is nigh,

    so all you good ol' boys sing with me and cry...

    over my dead body sacrificing soul for mankind

    never surrender your voice your hands your body your mind!

    ~I'm just a bird

  • get it on phil

  • Where is Steve Miller?

  • Not bad for a guy with half a finger missing

  • @hitekvoop whats really impressive is the way he plays banjo

  • Thanks for posting that was AWESOME!

  • Wow, this clip is a real jewel ! Thanks for posting it ! It made my day.

  • love it. Miss you Jerry!

  • This is my happy place :)

  • There has never been anything quite like a Dead concert. They were pure electric contagious happiness.

  • We need to get the bus moving.

  • not bad!!

  • great song by a great band  ~~~ --( 8

  • I miss the Grateful Dead. They're music is still the best.

  • i started listening after touch of grey in the 80's... i was like 14 at the time... love 'em, love jerry

  • deep breath

    sigh

    gratitude unlimited

  • Just the way Garcia HOLDS his pick is masterful. His stage presence is incredible. I dig how into their playing they all are. These guys are all chillin' on stage making great music for people while having a great time.

  • wow.

  • thumbs up if you saw furthur

  • @buckster2424 thumbed sideways did you like the scene or just the band?

  • @buckster2424 broome veterans arena

    

  • @buckster2424 saw them last year for the first time, going to see them again next month :)

  • Comment removed

  • @volcom1551 real original

  • This is the Hundred Year Hall version isn't it?

  • Comment removed

  • @pcburgh01 No it's from a TV show recorded in Copenhagen on 17th April 1972. Hundred Year Hall was Frankfurt, 9 days later.

  • Jerry Lives on. Please Keep Rockin' Grateful Dead. In Need...

  • i was blessed to see this played live by the G-D ... owned it on LP - 8 track - Cassette - CD and now it's wisping through the wind on the internet ... times and formats have changed ... but this song as performed by them will stay in the collective memory of all who knew the rider 8 )

  • Europe 72 was released just as the dead were becoming a big deal to my generation. I find it to be one of the premier Dead sets ever. It has the quintessential works like I know you rider and China cat and manifold other great selections. For my money its the greatest compilations ever assebled and my ears second the motion.

  • this is f'ing awesome!

  • @boschicus I like their swinging sound with just Billy too, but I have to admit there are times when Mickey really added a lot. What would Terrapin have sounded like without Mickey's thunderous tom toms? Even straight stuff likeTouch of Grey benefits from his pounding. Nevermind Samson. It's a different sound with Mickey. Works better on some stuff than others. I like the extra heavy backbeat.

  • @sparkomatic yea man the song The Eleven wouldnt be around with out Mickey. He does add alot to the mix and the complexity of the band as a whole

  • As Good as it Gets.

  • @boschicus how dare you bad mouth hart in any way?

  • this just rules!

  • ... 1st show - Spectrum, Philly, '77.. absolutely superb!!!! this medley from the Europe '72 version (that whole cassette), that is, is what clinched it for me back in '76, wow, love at 1st sound byte!!

  • 4 people were so high they missed the thumbs up button

  • @treggers123 -- right ? lol...

  • @treggers123 original

  • @treggers123 LOL.. Nice!

  • @treggers123 Nice!

  • Yeah......I was one of them! :)

    

  • Yes ppl...the best are dead...Phil "the Liver" Lesh and Bobby "blue" Weir go Further on!!!

  • Genius.

  • @meiguoren66 Yes.  Purely

  • If you have a basement band and want to take it to the next level, cover this tune!

  • respond to this?? How can i comment on a state of mind... a world of it's own and a place of peace - You are still loved Jerry. The greatest band...ever. and they still rule 38 years later - I am so Grateful to have been there - seen them and done that!

  • fabulous

  • damn he can play the guitar!

  • I don't like the piano very much.

    it's like the lynird skynird

  • @keo774 hahaha
