Grateful Dead - Born Cross-eyed 1968 live

[Kramnosnits]

They can play...but they cannnot sing.

[chaosnewterer]

Is there anything worse?

[emma199624]

im a 14 year old philipino girl with cancer. in my ASS. nothing touches my soul like a face melting minglewood!! Brent years were the shit lets get those RIP doses back in full swing this summer BOOOYAH

[dannyhood66]

@emma199624 Rip doses huh? Not in cali?

[BluesHonkey]

This so sweet! Thanks for posting. I wish one of you clever Heads would mash this up with this (on youtube): Cross-eyed Opossum Catches Public's Gaze. That would spiff.

[asc123ism]

this track is shite

[free6your7mind0]

Which voice level is Phil's at?

[spacemeddle]

@free6your7mind0 the highest voice you hear, thats Phil.

[folkhippy]

@spacemeddle I LOVE Phil's high harmonies from the early days. There is nothing like hearing a '68 Other One with Phil screaming out "COMIN', COMIN', COMING AROUND!"

[spacemeddle]

@folkhippy True that man,

[Squadillah]

Man, one time i was curious about the dead, id never heard them before, i got one of my dads old tapes and heard "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" and i was immediately hooked. Thats just the power the Grateful Dead have.

[therealCanablisS]

i never understood the attraction to this band , and ya ive tuned in many many times,, hrmm

[kettlepin]

@therealCanablisS

it's more of an academic kinda thing, scripture, etc...

[angrygrunt]

@therealCanablisS for some people it's instant. i didn't like them initially however either, i just kept listening until finally it clicked. now they're my favorite band by a longshot

[NeoSquadillah]

Great song! Anthem Of The Sun is my favorite album. I've borrowed a bunch of bootlegs from my dad... ALL from '68 or '69. sadly, no Born Cross-Eyed, but other '60s Dead classics. If there's actually a way of putting cassettes on a computer, I'll put up full concerts.

[Mordent9]

@NeoSquadillah I bought an Alesis USB cassette tape deck which enables transferring cassettes to the computer.

[kgmule]

this song doesn't get enough credit.  listen to phil for godssake.

[captainsoul1953]

The album version of this was issued as a 45 in the UK with Dark star on the flip....what were they thinking?.....dont think it got one play on the radio

Jim

[Kohntarkosz]

Actually, Dark Star was the A-side, and the version of Born Cross Eyed is a different mix from what's on either the CD or the remixed LP edition. I don't know how it compares to the original LP mix, which supposedly is the same as the CD, but I've heard some people say it's not.

[captainsoul1953]

hi

i have the single....its the same as the uncredited version on the last reissue of the 3rd lp...if you have heard that

Jim

[geekorthodox9]

i think the sunrise in the west in the Greek tale of the age of Cronus, the winding of the machinery before time.

[ZenithJones2]

I'm 30 years old just jumped onto the dead space ship, I'll be trippin forever now !!!

[DoorofPerception60]

Seriously, I'm 19. Mother was a flower child from SF. Once you grip The Dead, you realize there is no one like them. Deadheads never fall, they just keep tripping.

[Robokiller80]

I'm 19 and I love the grateful dead too

[Apocalypse4162]

I'm 20 and Grateful Dead are my favourite band. They have been for a long time and I have a feeling that no other band will overtake them from the top spot for me!

[ugaiko]

I'm13 and I can't enough of the Dead!! My absoloute favorite band. My mother was a hippie and took me to the last show in Michigan before Jerry died. I was still in the womb.

[kettlepin]

@ugaiko nice

[bakeronbass]

Thanks for the post. What a great recording! That Drum track is how you play Drums. Dam Billy was on that night. The more I got into the recording the more I felt a trip coming on, there was some awesome energy there.

Thanks again for all your great post

[moshwangles]

[Mu51ch3r3]

@moshwangles Is this from 2/14/68? I just put up the Spanish Jam from that show, killer show!!!

[wellspout]

dude, break out the archives for all these folks who have never had the good fortune, to hear the real gd

[moshwangles]

i like puttin up dead stuff, ive got a bunch of their early stuff up. i'll eventually put up some more.

[skootmagoot]

dude you should put on some New potato caboos

great song

[DoorofPerception60]

AH! I love that song! Anthem of the Sun was seriously overlooked, that album means the most to me.

[bigbuzman]

Anthem of the Sun is my all time favorite album by ANYONE . I listen to it on a regular basis and have done so since I first bought it in 1970. Especially New Potato all the way thru the alligator jam. Spectacular. My 1st show was closing of the Fillmore west. Lucky me .

[artyouknow]

Great post, thank you so much. Spanish Jam is a very haunting song.

[moshwangles]

no problem, ur right it is haunting, especially the transition with the guitar feedback.

[blues122]

love this song thanks!

[moshwangles]

no problem glad u liked it
