[TheDeadAreGrateful]

This is my favorite dead song. I love it.

[moeguy9999]

Miss San Francisco, Inverness,too! And, my partner, who camped all over with

me. And,my dog Marin.

[markamiller100]

There is a nice version on 'Go To Nassau' too. This is my favorite fast one and the one I just mentioned is slower. I wish someone would put up the studio version from 'Go To Heaven'.

[markamiller100]

This version is on, 'Live, Without A Net', is that right ?

[tomcatvmp]

[NooBlessCZ]

When I hear this I start to feel trippy...

[doctorlynchmob]

long live the grateful dead

[deadheads44]

This is what made Grateful Dead so damn good. Amazing Jams.

[protomassive]

Althea = (rhymes with) Garcia.....Hunter wrote this one about Jerry..seems so.. and Jerry would sing it to himself

[wydog286]

@protomassive

althea doesn't rhyme with garcia..

[alliecat889]

i was told that my name was a song and i didnt believe them lol. Its so weird to hear this.

[ElBurkoBandito]

@alliecat889 Haha, If I ever have a daughter, I hope to name her Althea =)

[TheAltheaSmith]

@alliecat889 My name is Althea and guess what... I went by the nickname Allie. Now that I'm older I've found that going by Althea is very useful and people remember you.

[alliecat889]

@TheAltheaSmith that does seem to work for me already, and everyone comments on how unusual a name it is.

[TheDjtoneytone]

i remember in 8th grade i was missed the bus so i was skating my ass to school and some lady stopped and asked me if i needed a ride i was a little hesitant but i saw she was wearing a dead tie dye ( as was i) and this song was playing on her radio, been my favorite dead song since haha

[eddievangundy]

Good aunt- and good nephew !

[HELPFREETHEUSA]

weareeverywere

[TheShampow44]

you'd be screwed if she asked you to make another.... you've used every dead logo/ image in this one haha.

great song

[ezekieloak]

Without a Net Makes Me Wet. And the Shakespeare quotes seal the deal for me.

"To sleep, perchance to dream- ay, there's the rub." -Hamlet.

This is sexy rock 'n' roll. And you know this space is getting hot.

[forsteve]

Great video! Thank you! This is pretty much my favorite Dead song ever. Great job!

[shymama8]

my daughter is laughing to keep hearing her name in this song. dead-head i am, though didnt even realise this was the name of the song til she was about 2 yrs old, LOL. (i didnt know he was saying "althea") i named her after the genus of flowering shrubs. i needed an "A" name to go w/ my other idrens names: aspen and amethyst. a tree and a stone.

[113gurl]

my name's Althea! <3

[TheAltheaSmith]

@113gurl wahoo mine too! :)



[davzale]

Althea \a-lthea,

al-thea\ as a girl's name is pronounced al-THEE-ah. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Althea is "healing herb". From Althaia, and of a different root from Alethea. The name is derived from a shrub that is also called a marshmallow. Greek mythology: mother of Meleager. The name was revived in the 17th century by poet Richard Lovelace, as a poetic name for his beloved. Tennis celebrity Althea Gibson.

[MetsFan2002]

It's all good my friend Cathsgtr!!!!

[berniebop39]

yeah man ;-)



[CheckItOut41]

This is one of my top favorite Dead songs... I keep listening to it on a loop

[1987deadhead]

best version of althea no doubt thanks for posting!!

[thedizzit]

what is this on? without a net?

[MetsFan2002]

Deadheads are the best kind of people.We live love and let people alone.

[Carthsgtr]

@MetsFan2002

Learn to spell asshole.

[MetsFan2002]

@Carthsgtr  No need to be rude dude!!!!!

[Carthsgtr]

@MetsFan2002

Lol I was half joking.

[fuckmycunt99]

@MetsFan2002 little egotistical?

[MetsFan2002]

@fuckmycunt99  maybe?????

[tankertuff2002]

@MetsFan2002

some of the new jam band scenes are getting sheisty though. I wish the vibe would reach down to all people in all generations.

[Fend4urself]

@MetsFan2002 Going to Grateful Dead concerts really mellowed me out and showed me a better way to be. I really connected with deadheads.

[althea9244]

this is my song because this song got me my name althea <3

[jdodd82]

@althea9244 you have a beautiful name and I love your parents for thinking of such a wonderful name. We plan on doing the same. All the very best to you.

[shymama8]

@althea9244 its my youngest daughter's name, too. RAD!

[soul0luos]

Easily one of my favorite GD songs, which is why I've commented twice, hahaha.

[aeunuchsthroat]

Dancing Fibonacci bears = coolest thing I've seen today.

[somerville00]

I will name my first born girl after this song. I often listen to this with a smile in hopes that might come some day I know it will, but Althea is an unpopular name so I have been told. That is part of the reason why I have not met the mother of my future chilldren. Hard to stay in one state at a time being a dharmabum ;)

[soul0luos]

I miss getting puddled in CO listening to the dead...

[Fend4urself]

@soul0luos "puddled" What a perfect term. Reminds me of when I was in high school and I took a couple hits of purple micro dot acid. I came home and my parents were still up and I had to go talk to them. Here I am trying to have a conversation with them while all the light switches and door knobs are running down the walls and collecting in puddles on the floor. You saying that flashed me back! Thanks! needed that.

[soul0luos]

@Fend4urself Hahaha! Sounds like a good trip aside from having to talk with the parents, though in hindsight it makes for a great story. "Getting puddled", as you may have gathered is taking a vial of liquid and squeezing it until there's a puddle on your tongue. Crazy times... Take care man!

[radekjerabek]

a bit wordy but otherwise a very inspirational SONG ! One of my MOST favourite of his..

[monkeykong16]

just tried acid a few hours ago...amazing experiience and ive never loved music more...amazing song

[1969deadhead]

@monkeykong16 i've had a few shots and right now, i really wish i had a few hits o acid to just chill and learn who i reall y am. 'im glad you had an amazing experience. to much propaganda these days about bad trips.... don't take acid if you're in a bad mood or already in a bad state of mind. set and setting. some people are just stupid these days. happy trippin man 

[chiz904]

@monkeykong16 Bro, I'm not gonna tell you a "drugs are bad" lecture, but I AM gonna tell you that I LOVE the grateful dead, sober or not...

[zzmaker3]

@monkeykong16 you're acid only lasted a few hours?

[TheGravygun]

@monkeykong16What do you like about spaceman? 

[beaneroopie]

@monkeykong16 a few hours huh? you would have been tripping while you typed this.

[dilberto0Oz]

@beaneroopie maybe he came down from it then typed it ;O

[TheSjones9]

@monkeykong16 fuck acid

[cartoonistkid001]

@TheSjones9

fuck you. Im just playing, youre entitled to an opinion. But acid is really fun and you shouldnt knock it unless you've tried it.

[low72]

@monkeykong16 why would you waste your acid trip on youtube? hahaha

[thetruth34o9]

@low72 lol

[KingCobraOutlaw]

the lyrics really help cause jerry garcia is hard to understand the way he sings

[shymama8]

@KingCobraOutlaw i know, right. i never knew he was even saying "althea"

[KingCobraOutlaw]

amazing song

[zx1357]

this is so great to come after all that late 70s disco bullshit the dead recorded

[amysinai]

SWEETNESS....THANKYOU!!! Blessing's, Peace, LOVE,Light! LOVE you JERRY....LOVE you Brent....God Bless
