[edwardmashberg1]

Beautifully done! A song that benefited from DG's voice.

Dead fan: Hey, Jerry, how's everything?"

Jerry: "I don't know. I haven't tried everything."

Great version!!! Mellow yet quit jamming as always. P^^ce Bro

[user7272]

great slideshow to compliment a superb jam!.....ty

[upyanuts]

Great essay Chris, real insightful, intellectual, and well written... I was never really exposed to the Greatful Dead, therefore not much of a fan, but I do seem to know what they are all about.

[chasefukuoka61]

@upyanuts - thanks for taking the time to read it. Yeah, they really lived the message they were singing about, its amazing.

[schach420]

I just wonder if you shouldn't feel less concerned about the deep unreal

[TheElissaS]

@schach420 It's deep, no doubting that, but what makes it unreal to you. It's all very realllllllllllllllllllllllllll­.No matter how you phrase it or spell it, you see it, you feel it, you are a part of it, you think about it, it makes you a part of it--that makes it real, in ones' life. You've become involved in it, it has become a part of your life to the extent that you ask a question about it. That makes it real. It's all real.Perhaps you never came upon a learning experience as such itsreal

[schach420]

@TheElissaS The unreal is an experience that is difficult to describe, just like the real is an experience. Maybe this unreal experience is only the absence of the real experience, or the real experience is the absence of the unreal experience. Anyway, I was just quoting the song.

[Ghoopty]

1:42 - I just went "Oh my God".......BEAUTIFUL hippie girls! Proof that there is a God.

[DirMichaelDavid]

This is classic Jerry Garcia

[PAULLONDEN]

4:52..cock rock....sorry,couldn't help noticing.

Other than that,First class collage.Good work.

[HiggDogg420]

I don't like these comments.... If you don't have anything nice to say then it's best to not say anything at all. So ease it up.

[HiggDogg420]

Thank You so much for sharing this song and your pictures are wonderful!! Especially the ones with PigPen. Thank the LORD for The Grateful Dead. Keep it going until the end My Friend.

[chasefukuoka61]

@HiggDogg420 - thanks so much!!! I appreciate your positive spirit.

[HiggDogg420]

Thank You so much for sharing this song and your pictures are wonderful!! Especially the ones with PigPen. Thank the LORD for The Grateful Dead. Keep it going until the end My Friend.

[mythtree]

@steelyvw no place for hate ~ & so misplaced YOU've NO IDEA!

peace!

[trippybbb]

thankyou!!! damp, humid, rainy Fl. day....need some Cosmic Charlie!!!

[Aryozad]

very cool, thanks for upload. However, why do you have HD in the title? got my hopes up for a video and i see millions of dead vids with hd in title when there is no video.

[chasefukuoka61]

@Aryozad - Hi. Sorry if that seemed misleading. I put up two types of videos that i make, the simple ones are smaller size, and the photos don't move. The larger ones are HD photo montages with what's called the Ken Burn's effect, zooming in or out on images. Not live shows but a higher quality video, with much more time and effort put into syncing the images with the music.

[fluffydolly]

awesome song.....great gem!!!!

[chasefukuoka61]

@fluffydolly - thank you!

[mythtree]

someday, Cosmic Charlie! ...someday

miss you Michael... 1/26/61 - 2/26/95

annunakis will steal your face right hoff your head. first thing you said was how do you do last come home your mommas calling you

[jsscat9]

My birthday is Feb 1st so I would have to say I always feel that this is a personalized song. So many connections to the Dead, far too many to list here. Just saw Furthur at Art Park this summer and got to hear it live. Made my night. "Calling me"

[chasefukuoka61]

@jsscat9 - Hey, that's cool...!

[TFrills]

This song makes me wanna jizz

I love the pic of all the planets lined up. Good stuff!!! Thanks GD and fans!

[chasefukuoka61]

hi jambandfreak1 - glad you enjoyed it. check out the Dark Star Europe 72 music video linked here. I found some actual Acid Test film footage and home movies of Neal Cassady drivin the bus that i put into the video...

[ergonomichemorrhoid]

I was about 2 weeks old when that took place :D That was a fun video to watch thanks for posting it.

[terripin99]

A little slower version- -but we like just fine

Beacon was a great venue- - damn I miss this shit!!!!

[chasefukuoka61]

@terripin99 -- yeah, i agree, the Beacon shows were often very special...

[thumpermaloney]

I was there also... at that point we were just glad to have them playing together again,after the "hiatus"... we scored row AA tickets in the 1st ever mail order from the GDTS... felt blessed until we got there late and had to literally fight our way to our "seats"!!! LOL

[chasefukuoka61]

coool..!

[ScreamingCheetah1212]

I'm a longtime GD fan, but I really don't get why people post this slideshow crap.

[chasefukuoka61]

Just close your eyes then, and listen to the music play. No one is forcing you to watch :^)

Peace.

[hashburysp]

I was at this show on June 14th at the Beacon Theatre. I like this version of Cosmic Charlie but it doesn't have the blistering sound of the early days. Still enjoyable.

[chasefukuoka61]

Would have loved to have been there @hashburysp. Thanks for posting.

[ejc1974]

34 years ago today..... awesome video!!

[chasefukuoka61]

thanks @ejc1974 

[pscotmo]

why does the slideshow end with a beetle?

[chasefukuoka61]

i dunno, pscotmo, lol... ladybug, ladybug fly away home, your momma's calling youuuuu, calling you..... home is the planet, home is the galaxy........... home is a flower...

[KINGBB420]

[chasefukuoka61]

It brings a smile to know so many folks are enjoying these. Thanks for coming by :^)

[iamearthbornami]

[ninety9prbs]

Keep these coming! Wow, amazing work putting these together. I enjoyed watchin' them all, thanks again.

[chasefukuoka61]

thanks so much! I'm working on another one right now. Did you see the Eyes uploaded a few days ago?

[ninety9prbs]

@chasefukuoka61

No I didn't...will check out that bad boy right now!! Man when I watched the brokedown vid on mother's day, it gave me goosebumps. Reminded me of that ol Santana quote about the body's molecular composition...can't remember how that went but killer job....

[chasefukuoka61]

Right! Yeah, that's the effect i keep going for, lol...

[cosmic53933]

to chasefukuoka61 Your videos rock thank you

[chasefukuoka61]

You are so very welcome :^)

[gregfordham]

the whole second set of this show is the jam...one of my all time faves...love the energy they have during this one

[chasefukuoka61]

i agree, definitely!!

[mountainboy32]

Nice!

[chasefukuoka61]

Oh, and thanks for the song recommendation! I think i'll work on the Crazy Finger's next, as it is a gem... But will check out the 10/15/83 Playin, if i can find it.

[chasefukuoka61]

Thank you. It's done with iMovie, on an Apple MacBook Pro. The images were worked with beforehand with iPhoto. Some of the stuff (photo montages) is Artwork i did with Adobe photoshop some years back, also a couple of my drawings are in there... Most of the photos though were done by others that i've "borrowed" from places were they're up on the web. If anyone notices one of their photos up there please let me know and i'll formally acknowledge the contribution...

[mosk22rte]

Bravo! Very nice montage!! I love this show -- I think this was the best of the 1976 Cosmic Charlies, and the Help>Slip>Frank that follows the Cosmic Charlie is also outstanding. Thanks!

[chasefukuoka61]

Hi mosk22rte. I agree about Help->Slip->Frank, i have that and wanted to make a video for the Franklin's T but it's too long, i'd have to cut the end. As for Cosmic Charlie there's one released on Dick Pick's 20, from 9/25/76, but i like this version better. What do you think of the Crazy Finger's from 6/14/76? I was thinking about making a video of that.

[pcburgh01]

nice! start a channel if you have more rcordings - use the same pictures....

[chasefukuoka61]

Thanks. I just made a new video for a Stella Blue from 1994. It's posted as a video response above. Please check it out.

[Priestfilms]

Was that Mountain Girl at 1:27?!?

Nicely done. Thanks for putting it together.

[chasefukuoka61]

YES, and "You're VERY welcome"

:^)

[CeeLoneous]

What a clean recording & good job on the video! @:-}

[chasefukuoka61]

Thanks!

[longlivejerryg]

A super vid - I was really moved. Beautiful pictures and good choice of song. One can tell you really love the dead and understand them. Thanks a lot for this.

[chasefukuoka61]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the kind words. There's a lot of history and depth to their music, as we know, lol. Really enjoyed making this...
