dammit....just imagine being there, lying around, dropping acid and listening to the Grateful Dead....would have been wonderful if only I was a sperm cell to be produced at that time ;D
@voidinggenerations I believe that it (the first tune, Mama Tried) was written by Merle Haggard. It's found on a few Dead albums...Europe '72 and Working Man's Dead....I think. "High Time is a Dead tune...I think. (again)Things are still pretty fuzzy and I've been off the bus for over a decade now...LOL!
@tigercity72 Like I said, "...I think." And now that I think about it, I believe that it's on the Skull and Roses album. But I could be wrong...again. It's been happening a lot lately...LOL!
@iggyaztec ...The concert promoter bought a kilo and divided it up among the crew members, roadies, performers. Legend has it that most of it turned to liquid paste when it got soaked in the rain while on the dividing table.
I don't care who says what - but the dead sound great to me here! we should try and appreciate the differences in the performances each time rather than 'judge'!
So... you live in a forest where your only concerns are "staying warm at night, keeping the rain off me" and getting/stealing food from a drunk farmer, yet you have a computer, internet connection, and a youtube account? Get off here at let us enjoy the music for peace.
jerry garcia called the dead's woodstock gig one of their worst performances of all time. The stage was shaking, the tuning was bad, and the band just couldn't stay togerther. sorry to burst the hippie bubble, still, i love the band
@4hoogs ...Their own stage crew blew it by fucking up the ground wiring. Combined with the rain, the equipment kept shocking Bob Weir and when combined with the natural paranoia that comes with the cocaine, you get a recipe for disaster! Add the possibility that they might have been lightly dosing, FO-GETTA-BOUT-IT ! The blue lightning bolts coming from Weir's guitar probably looked cool to those in the first ten rows, however.
somebody turn on a light so we can see these dudes!The last Waltz by Martin Scorsese is better filmed and has similar artists from the 60 's and 70's.
@FrequentlyFried - I know what you mean. I wonder if the being shocked story isn't made up. The guitar playing is fine, but they seem to have no energy or drive, like they are completely drained.. maybe tired? Bad mood? Tremendously stoned? Zonked on bad acid? All four? Mama Tried sounded alright and St. Steven sounded good to me before it got cut off.
turn on your lovelight from the woodstock dvd is so bad it's funny...why do they have some guy who sounds like a rambling bum on the street "singing" a song?..Im sure they were getting shocks but it seemed like they didn't care and were so pissed off about playing at night and it all effected them I guess. I actually like their songs on the Festival Express 1970..Also The Who, Mountain, and CCR were all great at night even though they had tech problems. The dead just seems to be in a bad mood.
@penningtonant no I know what Pigpen looks like and I've read some of the book Another Saturday Night or whatever so I know a bit about them. I think he's some friend of the band because he's trippin' balls and they let him ramble for at least a minute to start the song hahaha so incredibly bad.. but not on this video..on the dvd.
why don't you church a holics stop looking for a feelgood song to drop your holy 2 cents in- and we can all enjoy the great Spirit~! Jerry would have wanted it that way- Peace~!
Instead of leaching off the church food or stealing, GET A JOB. All employers aren't evil. My boss is good to me, because I work hard for him and help him make money. In turn, he pays me well. That really happens all over America, and the world for that matter. But here's the key - you need to work hard. Believe it or not, that will do more for your satisfaction and self-esteem than anything, not to mention pay for good food and some decent clothes.
At least Bob Weir can actually sing here, I watched another video of him singing (or trying to sing) "One More Saturday Night", he just couldn't pull it off at all. Either he was having a bad performance or he's more suited to country.
Why is there no peace? because we don't think beyond what we're taught... We have the internet to help us think, but we STILL don't use it.
I think the problem is schools teaching style, it claims that the only way of knowledge is through school, which is complete bullshit. It degrades our curiosity to being spoonfed irate propaganda and makes us not question. Why do I question, why do I think. I ask myself every day "what makes me different" and still have no answer, after all this time.
@chinaboyd I agree with you, specially about the part about degrading our curiosity. the teaching method most schools use today is outdated. with computers and internet, we don't need so much to learn to store information in our brain, the material we are taught should be the same, but we should focus on how to use that information, not how to store it in our brains through thoughtless studying. We should be taught to work with computers, not to become them.
@chinaboyd There isn't peace because we're all taught to be nice to each other and we'll have peace that way... its bullshit... yes we should all be as nice as possible because that'll help, but problems and differences will arise whether we want them to or not... to achieve peace we need to learn forgiveness... if someone does wrong by you, you need to forgive them, 'cause getting mad is just gonna prolong and exacerbate differences. turn the other cheek, no matter what is done to you...

The dead I was there. Stood out on many sidewalks for hours to get in to Jerry Garcia play. I left that scene in the eighties. Oh but I can back "tangled up in blue" love the dead prolly more that I did in the seventies. Jerry is an old friend to me. Peace out.
sometimes i feel like i was born in the wrong generation. I feel no connection with todays music but with this i can really relate i love the grateful dead so much, they have some of the most beautiful music of all time.
I've become a big fan of the Dead over the last 10 years- I'm sorry I missed their live concerts but at least they live on with You Tube and Pandora. If they were half as fun as a Buffett concert at Irvine Meadows in the 90's and early 2K's, then it was a hell of a show.
.i get so bored with country dead........weir singing it doesn't help......prefer the more funkier or psychedelice stuff -- even weirs weather suite from 'wake'.
As a lifelong GD fan and a Scotsman, I'd like to take the opportunity to apologise for the performance of "The Incredible String Band" at Woodstock 1969.
If you have a sense of humour and you'd like a laugh, do a youtube search for "incredible string band woodstock". I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.
If their was any other band that must have been at Wookstock other than the Dead was the Jefferson Airplane in my option. Love them both to this day, timeless. If you like the Dead, go further to other bands like NRPS, The Jerry Garcia Band with Donna Jane, Old and in the way, the Bob Weir Band, to Kingfish. WLIR (radio station) I loved you back in the day for broadcasting those great live shows.
All you haters out there, taking the piss out of The Dead, you really don't know what the hell you're taliking about. None of the bands that played at Woodstock felt it was their best performance for various reasons and The Dead were no exception. They knew their performance was shite at the time, largely due to the fact that their sound guy decided he did not like the way the electricals were set up and decided to re-wire the stage and none of their gear was grounded right. Shocking!
@TadRapidly Lights , Hell they were all stoned LOL LOL LOL still got my super stone if you know what that is used for . I'm rolling while I'm typeing got to go. Have a nice day.
Hey leave the young guys alone atleast they listin to music that had meaning not ths crap they play today im dead head been one for 20 yrs i started out at 13 liking them and here i am 20 yrs later
i think the young ones liking this rules... "cool" :young" or not.. love it.. they got here by liking it one way or another. i say who cares how they got here. they got here..
Guys, stop putting down those who say they don't like the Dead. Among the things I learned through the years of following them is to allow EVERYONE to have their own opinion. Another is to appreciate ALL forms of music, doesn't mean I like them, just that I can appreciate them.
To those who don't like the Grateful Dead ... why are you here aggravating yourselves? Go listen to what you like and enjoy your day! =)
"Everybody, try to be nice to everybody else, ok?" Jerry Garcia
@OropherThranduil i never attended one ,i wanted to see one in 1973 but my mom thought they were nothing but a bunch of acid dropping,pot smokin hippies and she didnt want me to be that way, but i turned out that way after she left my dad.
@OropherThranduil it wasnt bad, not to good either cause you never know whats next.you should be glad you were not born back then cause if you were you'd be a old man now.hell im 53 now and i feel 60 coming fast
well, someday i'll be that old too, and me looking back too the music of my youth will be full of (C)rap, Hip Hop, manufactured Pop, modern R'n'B and the like.
@OropherThranduil yeah and by that time things will so diffrant probly no trees or green, the music will be horrible and no one will even know about the kind of music you and i are listening now.music that means something to me.and that rap(or should i call it garbage) is the worst music ,like everthing i gave it a chace and it was awful. why would some want to start crap when they have peace, how someone enjoy chaos is beyond me.
There will always be guys who appreciate good music, i don#t think the Beatles music will ever die, or pet Sounds by the beach boys, and a lot of the 60s singles will live on, who knows, probably one day the charts are full again of good music, we can always hope, yeah, there are some old school hip hop that is quite groovy, like Grandmaster Flashs the Message, but not much overall.
@OropherThranduil i guess im just not used to life without the counterculture and people living in harmony without having to work their whole lives.if things get that way again i hope i live to see it.
@OropherThranduil well now with everyone living the "amarican dream" and working 50 years of their lives in wits end they tell take methadone and morphine sulfate and to hurry up and die because they need as much money that you erned. i never wanted nor did i work for those theiving basturds, i may live in foreist(i make a trip into town once a day thats how i on a get time a computer) but at least i can live happily.(sorry but im not all that good at spelling)
@DCussen poeple have to work to live a shitty meaningless life and if they dont they either live on streets or in car, i chose to live in a forest and off what god gives me (washington has good farmers) . (theiving basturds=politics)
@DCussen thieving basturds=politics,the i've always seen the way the u.s.a works is your trained for the first 21 years of live learning how to be a drone, then you work the rest of it struggle to as they say "get by" or "make ends meat". so i chose to live in a forest were all i stuggle with is staying warm at night, keeping the rain off me and getting enough food from the farmer(hes drunk most of the time so getting caught isnt a normal problem)
@metalfanforlife100 So, let me get this right. All politicians are thieving bastards in your opinion, but you're taking advantage of a farmer who works hard and spends money to raise his crops (so he can make a living) by stealing from him? Interesting. I wonder if there's any hippies that actually see the irony here.
@DCussen yet you fail to see the fact that the man is a drunk that spends the tax payers money on booze for his own pleasure, yeah he may spend some money to have the mexicons, but the fact remains that hes a drunk that doesnt give a shit about anyone or anything except that bottle
@metalfanforlife100 What I'm failing to see is that two wrongs DON'T make a right. Stop stealing from him, and finding ways to justify it. I'm not being judgemental, I've sinned in my own life. But stop doing what you're doing and make your OWN living - not living off of others.
@DCussen i dont just steal from him, i try to grow my OWN, but i have a black thumb everything i touch dies, except the farmers crop.also the church has good food sometimes but other times the food is horrible and there was the time the food made me very ill.the farmers cucumbers and carrots are way better then the churches
The distilled essence of raw, unrefined extraordinary incredible.
I get it that that doesn't make much sense, but if you can even begin to approximate the beauty of this band using proper sentence structure, then, well, kudos to you.
I had always heard that their performance was sub par but this is actually not a very bad version, in tune and rather well done, at least Mama Tried. Thanks for the post...
Answer me this. Did the Dead play at woodstock? A lot of bands did that didn't make it into the movie or album release for many reasons; they didn't want to be included or there just wasn't enough room. I think they did. Creedence did but didn't make the cut. Neil Young supposedly played with CSN but asked to not be filmed.(Weird) I think you can see his arm at one point.
@soundvisionary13 The Dead played at Woodstock and so did Neil Young and Creedence too. There were some bands that they just didn't put in the movie or the soundtrack. Neil Young played "Sea of Madness" and I think another song with CSN.
@ipodtouchone you r the retard they most certianly were at woodstock but for some reason thier performance wasn't on the move. but you can see jerry lighting a joint in the movie. don't talk shit when you don't know what you r talkin bout
@ipodtouchone They were there, but they thought it was there worst performance ever. It was pouring rain, & because there were electrical problems,whenever jerry & bob touched their guitars they got shocks!!!
@ipodtouchone you must be the dumbest person on the planet, why would you go to a video of the grateful dead playing at Woodstock and say they weren't there, when they were obviously there
I turned twenty one in prison, doing life without parole. No one could stear me right, but momma tried. It seems that the Dead chose to play songs that did not represent the hippie culture at all. In fact, they flat out rejected the whole idea. They played songs from their upcoming folk/rock album "Workingman's Dead", as well as some folk standards. Now I understand why they were not included in the film.
@acubassman You show your ignorance, sir. They did a run of "Dark Star>Saint Stephen>the Eleven" as well. They CHOSE to be edited from the film because they were not happy with their performance. With all the water onstage and the glare of the lights blinding them to the fact that there were nearly half a million people out there in the dark, they called it "nightmarish".
im with ravenwildchild just one more time. i felt alive felt loved felt so very happy everyone was kind even the veggie pasta. lol. only bad thing is everytime uncle johns band was played i was always at the porta potty's never failed.
if you like the dead you love um if you dont you hate um. I however wish I could see them one more time. Those concerts were the first time I felt I fit in with the world. The dead were and still are more then a band. They are a feeling a spirit inside. Speaking harshly towards others is not needed and tends to let the ugly in you surface. I once heard it's harder to be nice then to be mean. show youtube your strong and be kind to others
@whiterobin Dude you are totally entitled to your opinion. But let me add that the Dead are capable of doing things that all of your examples fail to do. I absolutely love CSN, and I can dig Zeppelin and Santana when the mood is right.....but the Dead jam. Something I would NEVER want to hear Zeppelin do. GD Jams inspire thought and bring forth unique creativity.
Don't hate so much man, just enjoy your music and well enjoy ours.
well you just gave props to a bunch of great bands, but the dead were a huge part of the fuel that kept the movement going. Ken Kesey? Neil Cassidy? ever heard of those chaps? and also, the dead represented a sound and style that was like home to many many people, and their talent was exTREMELY there. the subtleties of their musics free-style perfection is brilliant in its own sense of expression, just like steve howe or page had THEIR own. and they're PURE real. total devotion to the music.
I am so glad to have finally seen this. I knew Papa Bear wouldn't let us down, he's his own toughest critic, just like us all. What a beautiful sound still. The Dead should bring us together, let our souls shine. I am forever Grateful.
@whiterobin take into consideration the level of influence the dead had on an entire culture. they basically coined the "jam culture". even if you don't like the music. show some respect to some of the most innovative entertainers of all time.
What's the name of the first jam? Before the singing starts.

They knew their performance was shite at the time, largely due to the fact that their sound guy decided he did not like the way the electricals were set up and decided to re-wire the stage and none of their gear was grounded right. Shocking!

Guys, stop putting down those who say they don't like the Dead. Among the things I learned through the years of following them is to allow EVERYONE to have their own opinion. Another is to appreciate ALL forms of music, doesn't mean I like them, just that I can appreciate them.
To those who don't like the Grateful Dead ... why are you here aggravating yourselves? Go listen to what you like and enjoy your day! =)

@DCussen thieving basturds=politics,the i've always seen the way the u.s.a works is your trained for the first 21 years of live learning how to be a drone, then you work the rest of it struggle to as they say "get by" or "make ends meat". so i chose to live in a forest were all i stuggle with is staying warm at night, keeping the rain off me and getting enough food from the farmer(hes drunk most of the time so getting caught isnt a normal problem)
metalfanforlife100 8 months ago
@metalfanforlife100 So, let me get this right. All politicians are thieving bastards in your opinion, but you're taking advantage of a farmer who works hard and spends money to raise his crops (so he can make a living) by stealing from him? Interesting. I wonder if there's any hippies that actually see the irony here.
DCussen 8 months ago
@DCussen yet you fail to see the fact that the man is a drunk that spends the tax payers money on booze for his own pleasure, yeah he may spend some money to have the mexicons, but the fact remains that hes a drunk that doesnt give a shit about anyone or anything except that bottle
metalfanforlife100 7 months ago
@metalfanforlife100 What I'm failing to see is that two wrongs DON'T make a right. Stop stealing from him, and finding ways to justify it. I'm not being judgemental, I've sinned in my own life. But stop doing what you're doing and make your OWN living - not living off of others.

@DCussen i dont just steal from him, i try to grow my OWN, but i have a black thumb everything i touch dies, except the farmers crop.also the church has good food sometimes but other times the food is horrible and there was the time the food made me very ill.the farmers cucumbers and carrots are way better then the churches

Answer me this. Did the Dead play at woodstock? A lot of bands did that didn't make it into the movie or album release for many reasons; they didn't want to be included or there just wasn't enough room. I think they did. Creedence did but didn't make the cut. Neil Young supposedly played with CSN but asked to not be filmed.(Weird) I think you can see his arm at one point.
soundvisionary13 1 year ago
@soundvisionary13 The Dead played at Woodstock and so did Neil Young and Creedence too. There were some bands that they just didn't put in the movie or the soundtrack. Neil Young played "Sea of Madness" and I think another song with CSN.

I turned twenty one in prison, doing life without parole. No one could stear me right, but momma tried. It seems that the Dead chose to play songs that did not represent the hippie culture at all. In fact, they flat out rejected the whole idea. They played songs from their upcoming folk/rock album "Workingman's Dead", as well as some folk standards. Now I understand why they were not included in the film.

@acubassman You show your ignorance, sir. They did a run of "Dark Star>Saint Stephen>the Eleven" as well. They CHOSE to be edited from the film because they were not happy with their performance. With all the water onstage and the glare of the lights blinding them to the fact that there were nearly half a million people out there in the dark, they called it "nightmarish".

if you like the dead you love um if you dont you hate um. I however wish I could see them one more time. Those concerts were the first time I felt I fit in with the world. The dead were and still are more then a band. They are a feeling a spirit inside. Speaking harshly towards others is not needed and tends to let the ugly in you surface. I once heard it's harder to be nice then to be mean. show youtube your strong and be kind to others

@whiterobin Dude you are totally entitled to your opinion. But let me add that the Dead are capable of doing things that all of your examples fail to do. I absolutely love CSN, and I can dig Zeppelin and Santana when the mood is right.....but the Dead jam. Something I would NEVER want to hear Zeppelin do. GD Jams inspire thought and bring forth unique creativity.
Don't hate so much man, just enjoy your music and well enjoy ours.

well you just gave props to a bunch of great bands, but the dead were a huge part of the fuel that kept the movement going. Ken Kesey? Neil Cassidy? ever heard of those chaps? and also, the dead represented a sound and style that was like home to many many people, and their talent was exTREMELY there. the subtleties of their musics free-style perfection is brilliant in its own sense of expression, just like steve howe or page had THEIR own. and they're PURE real. total devotion to the music.
