By far, one of the most underrated bands for their vocal talents. I keep in mind that they are NOT vocalists, by any sense of the definition of that term, BUT some of the finest MUSICAL minds of their era and capable of a vocal MIRACLE like this!
When I forget the beauty of simple existence in this amazing world, I listen to this song. Your job, responsibilities and other stresses just melt away. There is beauty in life, and this song proves it.
For the past week and a half i have been stressed out and depressed with college life. then i remembered that my dad would always listen to the grateful dead when he was stressed and depressed and now i understand why. only pure bliss while listening to their music. Amazing and beautiful.
@RiZiNDeMoN99 Welcome aboard The Bus, Young One. I am at least your dad's age, and I saw about 100 shows. That was long before cell phones sucked almost every bit of fun and spontaneity out of life, but there are still some adventures left. I hope music like this inspires you to seek them out.
@MrDoubtfulguest yes cell phones do, do that my favourite thing to do is pack a bowl and walk through the forests, i envy people who were around to see the dead
@SLIMSHADY1357 Use the youtube search bar and check out "Grateful Dead New Years Eve 1985". (Yes, I was there) The telecast really captured the crowd nicely, and gives a decent sense of what it was like to BE THERE. Of course, "Midnight Hour'' was never one of their best covers, even with Pig-Pen, but that's not why I recommend this vid; it really does capture the scene. (And Kesey and Father Sarducci!) To recreate the smell, you will need pot, patchouli oil, and Marlboro Reds. Really.
@SLIMSHADY1357 I was luck enough to see them once at Buckeye Lake, Ohio in 1994 250,000 sold out amazing music multitudes of people, Wish u could have experienced it too.
You are authentic, because you get it. The length of your fan-ness has nothing to do with it. I'm old enough to be your father and I still feel like a newcomer.
all deadheads pick it up around that age. you are not an outsider, nor are you not authentic. the grateful dead are forever, and will always be. the family remains and will be.

reminds me of my first year in college, living with 7 or 8 of my deadhead family here, sitting in silence, tripping our asses off...half of the room had tears in their eyes for a few friends that passed on that month
The playing and especially the harmonies really get me on this song. As lovely as any Beach Boy harmony or any band of the 60's to now. Beautiful and yes heavenly!!
I don't really consider myself a deadhead, but I really like some of their music. I got the American Beauty album because of Ripple, and I heard this song and fell in love with it. Man, they got some harmony!! I used to play this on the piano. I guess I'll have to see if I can still play it.
For my gentle giant. You were the best friend a girl could ever ask for. The only thing that helps this unbearable sadness is knowing how unbelievably lucky I was to have known you. Thank you for giving me the privelege of calling you "friend" for the past 20 years. I love you. Rest now, be at peace.
