Grateful Dead - Looks Like Rain (1978)

[JUSBLAZD1]

Brings a tear to you're eye...What I wouldn't give to be able to turn back time!! Epic Dead!!

[drewnewbatt]

What album is this on?



[gurtobe]

Awesome solo!

[townshend1969]

@gurtobe Without a doubt, one of his finest ever.

[jollysossy]

@gurtobe - the main solowas from 2:51 to 3:43 but the last few minutes he was playing impassionedly behind the singing

[tennesseejed69]

Not sure what that means jw89. I am not up on the pop lingo, but then again, I am listening to songs from 1978.

[tennesseejed69]

MAN I MISS THE OLD DAYS!! I yearn for the 1970's and early 1980's. Oh well maybe in the afterlife.

[sunshinenblues]

@tennesseejed69 how well i know what you mean to say.. for instance i miss the '60's so much i'm sort of still "there" and i'm 61 years old! we'll never leave the past to be in the present! you and i are waiting to see Jerry (the band) and all our loved ones in the hereafter, where it'll be like always.

[fluffydolly]

great kool dead tune(bobby)always great live!!!!

[rramjii]

I love the Grateful Dead!!!!!!!

[arcmadness]

This song is too awesome for anyone to dislike it.

Winterland was a trip. This version is beautiful. I wasn't there for this one but was there in 3-18-19-20 1977 Now those nights were GGGREAT I was in the Army in Europe but came home on leave to see those shows. I missed 1978s My first shows were 10-18-19-20 1974 at Winterland POST and STEINER talk to me if you need to verify!

[nouseforotacon]

HERE COME THE RAIN! (hot damn)

[5150ortiz]

Please don't say you where @ the Winterland. If you say you where there, let me question you. I love that place(Geary & Fillmore) Their are $mill apts there now. I remember when they came with that show the Acid being past around where like pyramids. There will never Wonderland. After Winterland we went to Oakland, then The Shoreline

[penningtonant]

@5150ortiz None of what you said made sense.

[rblodget]

there is a reason they booted donna, and it wasnt the drugs...

[tabber87]

@rblodget Amen

[Revvin]

@rblodget According Phil it was because she and Keith were getting divorced and she wasn;t making the rehearsals.

[cici2702]

i dont think i have ever not fallen in love with a Grateful Dead song. sometimes i think "oh i will skip to my favourites" but then the song starts and i end up listening to it all and thinking its purely amazing...

[AbqBelly]

such a great dead song, such a shame so few people have heard it

[jmcnamara100]

best Dead song

[fbskier20]

@originalritz touche! :)

[chasefukuoka61]

Beautiful...!

[kocean1]

I think Donna is great-she adds so much to this song check 5-11-77 St. Paul CC Arena. Great version. I'll never forget opening Steal Your Face way back-when I saw her photo in the tank top-forgetaboutit. I was in love.

[fbskier20]

WOW. THIS IS WHAT I CALL BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. WHY CAN'T MY GENERATION MELT FACES LIKE THIS?

[OriginalRitz]

@fbskier20

you mean *steal* faces like this?

[CRAXYFINGERS76]

Apparently, Donna was good enough for Elvis and Percy Sledge...DONNA BASHERS SUCK

[CRAXYFINGERS76]

Simply awe inspiring....Words cannot do this justice....

[CRAXYFINGERS76]

Simply awe inspiring....Words cannot do this justice....

[TheDeadhead56]

while this isnt my favorite, i do like this song. bob and donna do great vocals and ive always liked jerrys lead and solo on this. beautifully done song. i know some out there complain about donna. well she was good. and, for the record, they all had off nights. they werent perfect. they enjoyed what they were doing and ive enjoyed them too.

[daveez1969]

Heard a lot of rain, this one's a GEM !

[drminblu]

Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;

The covers were still wet where you been layin'.

Jerry redeems another bob las vegas twighlight years tour, yet to come....donna u are welcome to join him...no dis, just is....

surely looks like rain...

miss you jerry

[mporlides]

I only get to say this rarely, Donna is heavenly on this. They are all spot on, Great solo too.

[TracyElizabeth749]

Donna and Bobby sing together like angels on this song!!!

[lesleygrande]

I think Donna sounds Grate!

[lesleygrande]

<3 Miss You, Planetary Dragon. I kno U hear me~

[OldBeethowen]

JERRY IS GREAT AT SOLO QUITAR ! DONA & BOB IS GOOD VOICES !

[townshend1969]

@OldBeethowen

Thanks for us ! This Jerry's solo is absolutely amazing ! One of his best solos of his carreer.

[MrNINTENDOJOE]

@townshend1969 every solo is his best bud

[silentdreemz85]

@OldBeethowen I'd have to say I enjoy jerry's voice much more than any singer in the world.

[rabbitnosekid]

@silentdreemz85 i very much agree. his voice really is almost angelic.

[tennesseejed69]

I'm getting really tired of people trashing Donna. There are shows where each and every member of the Dead have had off nights, flat, not holding notes etc. Where are those criticisms? If you think that Donna is off on this song you are utterly tone deaf, and really should not be publicly evaluating these posts. You make yourself sound musically illiterate. If you don't like the arrangement, that is purely taste, but don't say she is off key. Lastly always remember these mixes aren't prof qualit

[AliIKarimi]

@tennesseejed69 I just don't like a woman in my Grateful Dead. Its not sexist, its just not what I like.

[tomwhite56]

@tennesseejed69

I can't agree more. I loved Donna's voice, and I revere what I call "The Donna Years".

[grandbbq]

@tennesseejed69 I love the donna!

[jw89]

@tennesseejed69 suite melt brah

[tennesseejed1969]

@tennesseejed69 well said....



[jordanfan1023]

if you can't respect Donna, you can't respect the Dead. end of story.

[grandbbq]

Soooooo Sweeeet

[3210maura]

donna is great, you guys are f'n nuts

[WimseysEchoAnne]

Hafta say Donna sounds pretty bad on close listening. Warbling and wandering on her notes, not even hitting some. Pity. It's my favorite Dead tune...

[heynowtk]

@WimseysEchoAnne Did you ever awaken to the sound of street cats making love,

and guess from their cries that you were listening to Donna Godchaux?

[rubyrose456]

Such a Great, Beautiful song....MMMMmmm....

[rubyrose456]

@TheChronaholic NO DOUBT!!!

[NeoSquadillah]

Great song! There's absolutely nothing in the world... like a Grateful Dead concert...

[howardsd1]

donna is awful. you people are fvcking crazy.

[NeoSquadillah]

@howardsd1 Donna's voice was great. But around 1978, '79, she began to get kinda off-key and not very good. So you're half-right.

[Genshuosho]

I love Donna my fav Dead period.

[mialesmom]

Donna sings like an angel!

[bdagostino11]

I cant listen to it when she sings she manages to ruins it every time

[wischef64]

@bdagostino11 seriously, background vocals should be in the background. her vocals were always too heavy in the mix.

[dopeywonder]

nice i used to have couple of these shows but dont recall this song
