  • Whatever the case may be.... they nail this.

  • * * * * *

  • Damn i was born to the wrong generation.....BUILD A FUCKIN TIME MACHINE!! do somethin with your life

  • The Grateful Dead suck and aren't even in the same category as the Allmans. Jerry Garcia is a horrible singer,songwriter and guitar player.

  • @1978bluez Hah, Phish fan

  • @BonakEye dont hate on phish...we all know that kid isnt worth any of our time

  • @1978bluez I still don't understand why people watch videos of the Dead and bash Jerry. If you don't like Jerry, LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE! I usually look up videos I want to see, but that's just me.

  • PUT THE LOAD RIGHT ON ME..EASY TO SAY IT...

  • Hey, 1973, 1991...same difference, right?

    ;)

  • Obviously Grateful Dead with Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick, so it is from 9/15/90 to 3/24/92...

  • that's jerry alright <3

  • Not Watkin's Glen. This is 1990s Jerry. Certainly neither Duane Allman nor Dickey Betts were part of this performance.

  • nice slide show

  • NOT The Allmans

  • Yeah, You can change the title of the video now. This show was recorded between 3-28-90 and 3-24-92. This is cleary not Watkins Glen.

  • heavy sound

    

  • this sucks, why would anyone touch what levon has perfected...

  • @vivian2gin Uh....in case you didn't know this is one of the MOST COVERED songs of all time. It should occur to you that it's a COMPLIMENT To cover a great song, dimwit

  • um, this must be a 91 version witth Bruce Hornsby. No Allmans in earshot. If Jerry sounded like that in 1973 I'll eat my laptop.

  • *head imploads*

  • I was at the glen selling T-shirts. Some great memories.

  • @riverlove11 i brought 5 lbs of pot to sell at WG. There was so much stop and stop traffic on the way, it was all sold long before I ever got to the concert.

    Lots of rain, muds, tits, and fun, and did i mention drugs

  • 8)

    

  • This isn't Watkins Glen. The Dead didn't do this song at WG, the Band did, and the jam at the end of the day didn't include this song.

  • @Yakeem55 Memory must be a little foggy.

  • Song has a memory for me! a place a time a person to that old forgotten friend R.I.P. Dear Carmen . PEACE! Rick Wichita Ks. via western slope Colorado.

  • Definatley just the GD no Allmans or the Band, great version

  • such great memories never forgotten miss those long jams

  • i would pay to see this if i could rewind time. wow...the good old days

  • @platter1000 I'm with you. I was there but I didn't hear anything I don't think, some one wrote to me saying which songs were played when..... how could anyone remember that kind of stuff? I couldn't tell you what songs we played at my last gig, much less a concert 35 yrs ago, hahaha guess we all have our little things Huh?

  • Oh my god.

  • Yeah, this ain't the Brothers w/'em...Vince is the 4th voice...

  • @blakester1957 Actually Bruce Hornsby sings the second verse in this version.

  • This song was played at Nassau Col Uniondale LI

    there was a TV show about SF and Had Levon Helm on ...forget the name, but the dead were watching it...and the main caracter Jack Said to Levon( the Bands Version was plaing on Juke box) Levon opened a beer with a lighter and Jack said my tastes run more to truckin by the Dead. So the next night I was there in Uniondale seeing this...full well Lnowing the story behind it! Jimmy War

  • can tell from the sound of jerry's guitar at the beginning this is from the 90s....indoor arena too maybe ?

  • And ain't that Phil on verse 3? 

  • this is just amazing; this is sex for the ears.

  • the Dead performed this with the Allman Brothers AND the Band at Watkins Glen, New York in August 1973

  • @AstridZemanova no they didn't.The only songs played with the Almans at Watkins were NFA, Mountain Jam and Johnny B. Goode.

    First weight was 3-28-90.

  • @AstridZemanova They sure did I was there.

  • LOL very cool! times change folks ,have been jammin all afternoon to these tunes with my 12 yr daughter was jammin with the allman bros and I somehow ran into this lol she started it by first playin "sugar Magnolia" to get a smile out of me! when I was 12 someone would have called the law ,tie dye wearin dad "forcin" his kid to jam to Jerry lol and YES I am sober and 17 yrs straight lol damn Hippies(dad r.i.p) miss you Jerry!Rick Wichita Ks. via Steamboat sprgs Colo.

  • I thought it was gonna be the long lost Watkins Glen concert of 73',

  • @GS0752: i was there 2! you didn't hallucinate- the saturday show was Doug Sahm, the Dead, the Allmans, then the jam. It was an amazing show! Dunno about the next day. That tour was the Allmans' first after Berry Oakley died.

  • The Band is so awesome love them and this is a great cover.

  • 19 couldnt carry the weight

  • Both 5-5-90 and 5-6-90 were good shows but the 5-6 was the best show, many comments say best show of 1990, I agree but go listen to them on Internet Archive, Grateful Dead, Bill Walton was onstage on crutches a friend reviewed that Terence McKenna & Tim Leary standing off to the side near the stage, the heat was 100+,and so were the mindmelders that day!

  • For a great version of the weight check Internet archive for 5-6-90 cal state University Dominguez Hills, in LA damn 104% that day but the show wast epic 2nd set with the Weight thrown in there for me, ( I met this girl Anne she stayed with my camp that nite next day I helped her start selling some beers she got enough money for a ticket and food for that day and next days travel to San Fran, It was the 1st time I heard the Weight (take a load off Annie), also it was my last show with Brent Hi!

  • one of my favs

  • Great song, but not the Allman Brothers, and not the Band... Just the Grateful Dead, with Jerry, Bruce, Phil, and Bobby all taking turns, similar to a version that's out there from 9/21/91.

  • You obviously don't know know you bands if you think this is the Allman Bros with Band. The clue for someone like you should have been that it's a band song. Hello?

    I'll be charitable and assume you got a bum steer from an equally ignorant person who posted the mp3 of this somewhere and also thought Allman Bros ever played with the Dead.

    Sorry never happened. Wishful thinking.

  • @rrr1063 Might want to check into 1973 at DC Stadium - Washington. I was there and am quite sure, although high, that I wasn't halleucinating. Allman Bros. and Grateful Dead DID play together.

  • @rrr1063

    your right this is only the dead.On the other hand they di play with the allmans in 73 at watkins glen (but i dont think they played the weight then)

  • DAM! HAD TO LISTEN TWICE!! Thank you my husband! I Love You..

  • This is The Dead and the Band - you can hear the Band clearly after the first set -

    There is no ABB here.

  • it's Jerry singing

  • That's Phil on that vocal, not Greg Allman. I struggle to hear any Allmans in this song.

    I have a feeling it's Bruce Hornsby on the Piano and maybe melvin seals on the organ.

  • @jgiuffra1

    Its Vince welnick

  • Respond to this video...

    organ is VINCE WELNICK rip

  • the two best bands in the world and together there orgasmic

  • I do beleive this is the Dead and the Allmans the Hammond B3 went away when brent died and Greg allman plays one there is a Hammond B3 on this

  • Good tune, but the ABB is not playing along on this

  • Skrew the 18 dhat didn't dig it. !

  • I Hear NO evidence of The Allman Brothers on this track. I call B.S.

  • UNCLE JERRY

  • Hey folks, just so we're all on the same page....this is not the Allman Brothers, or the Band. This is JUST the Grateful Dead. But I still love it

  • @mrosnbrg20 Actually, I hear a voice that was not one of the Dead. This may have been one of the Alpine Valley shows where they shared the bill (along with Marshall Tucker). Of course, I could be mistaken.

  • @DonkeyOdie2000 The voice you hear is either Bruce Hornsby or Vince Welnick. Both joined the band on keyboards/vocals after Brent Mydland's death, with Bruce staying for a relatively short period.

  • @mrosnbrg20

    Well, actually, it is the Allman Brothers and the Dead.

  • Comment removed

  • @michaelspillman1

    I'm 100% positive this is just the Dead.  6/17/91, Giants Stadium.

  • probably watkins glen

  • RIP Jerry!  Miss Ya!

  • @bsatom

    Yeah man, this isn't all that old, probably from the 80's.

  • This is NOT the Dead and the Allman Brothers! This is the Dead and the Band. The second verse is sung by Rich Danko, the organ is being played by Garth Hudson, and the piano is being played by Richard Manuel. Distinctive and unmistakeable. Somebody goofed up their title, or their tape, or both. Damned potheads! HEY! I think somebody spiked the acid! I'm getting really fucked up, man!!?

  • @Pontifactotum i agree, dope for dopers, the only dope i need is the music, and maybe a horny wench for a LITTLE CASUAL NON COMM ITAL RECREATIONAL SEX. screw dope, A COLD BEER, and great music is what's happening. drunks can get up and go to work, potheads, and crackheads lay in bed all day. that's the reason i have no employees, no dope, and no payroll to make every week

  • @rorygg1

    Ive been a steady smoker for many years and I do very well for me and my family. Its easier to get up after a couple of doobies than a couple of vodkas. I know from experience. You shouldn't talk about shit it if you don't have a frame of reference.

    "Free the Weed & Plant the Seed!"

  • @Pontifactotum That makes sense, Thanx

  • @Pontifactotum Unmistakable? This is the Dead with no others. The second verse is Bruce Hornsby of course, and Richard Manuel rest his soul had been dead for a lot of years when this was played. That's Vince and Bruce on keyboards. Jesus.........

  • @Pontifactotum Sorry..never happened. This is 6-17-91 Giants Stadium. No Band, Just the Dead. The vocalists are Garcia, Weir, Lesh, Welnick and Hornsby. I was there.

  • @spabarman1 Well you're right and you're wrong. It did indeed happen, in 1973, with the Allmans and the Dead, I used to have a boot with the whole "sound check jam." BUT... This is not it. This is indeed 6/17/91, I've got the show and I double checked. I really wish this was the Watkins Glen set, I've been looking for another copy for years, along with 4/7/71 a one set show in Boston with Bobby McGee on it.

  • almost as good as justin bieber.

  • @RedDragonJack

    Yeah man, pretty damn close...

  • @RedDragonJack Haha. This comment made me laugh because you're watching a completely different genre of music than Justin Bieber. Bieber is a little boy who needs to hit puberty so that his record deals will get screwed up because he can't make that high pitch girly sound. I hope you find better artists than Justin Bieber otherwise you're screwed.

  • "He says "I'll fix your rags, if you just jack my dog"

    Gotta love Bob on this line, I like how he switched it up a bit.

  • @dBDom its a song, correct me if i am wrong though, from The Band

  • @dBDom He says, " I'll fix you right, if you just jack my dog- thanks for pointing that out, I missed it first time through. I'm sure someone gave him a hard time for that- Epic.......

  • @bsatom maybe its after pig left us. but im sure there is no a. bros in there. its so sad to hear this song and thinking on the fine musicians who are playing it who are departed. this is my most favorite song of ALL TIME!!!! not sure who is singing verse two but its not garcia and certainly not any of the a.bros.

  • sounds more like Jerry with The Band.

  • Here's my friend...tip my hat....Jerry singing the Weight of the Band ....what a great musical communion

  • ya i dont feel any allman brothers in that jam. thats pigs organ and there is no mistaking greggs vocals or duanes sassy guitar. dont think allmans were in on this one

  • chigago the last show

    crazy fingers florida

  • we all miss ya jerry. damn, you were the best we had. we mourn your passing, even as we celebrate your unique life and all that you left us . . . RIP man, see you soon on the other side . . .

  • Two of the best bands ever, playing together. Wow.

  • Definitely NOT the allmans with the dead here....

  • Comment removed

  • I love that phil got his licks in on this one : )

  • wow... best version of the weight, one hell of an epic classic

  • Rest in Peace Jerry and Duane, we will always miss you both!

  • Seriously excellent. I love Bob singing Rick Danko's part. Rick was an amazing musician....I loved watching him play the bass. RIP Rick.

  • >mase5701......I saw the dead and allmans twice play together...allman show in hartford and bob wier came and played, and watkins glen festival where members of dead, allman and the band played together.

  • @ground752

    Wow I was at both of those shows too.

  • I don't believe Grateful Dead ever played with the Allman Brothers.....I've heard Duane Allman sit in on a GD show, but am I wrong?

  • @mase5701 yeah, theres at fillmore east album from 70 where allman brothers and love opened for the grateful dead. there is a cd of the allmans, it was made by owsley stanley, but the allman brothers join the gd for dark star. the album is dicks picks vol 4 it is also mentioned in the book skydog duane allman story

  • the 71 fillmore shows are amongst my favs, they played a set with the beach boys its pretty sweet, Jerry had to slow down the tempo on Johnny B Good so Carl Wilson could keep up with him.

  • @mase5701

    I was an Allman Brother freak and my friend a dead head. He dragged me to Hartford CT to hear the Dead play for about 3.5 hours when the Allman Brothers came on stage for about an hour and a half.

    Also in Watkins Glen at Summer Jam one of the greatest unknown concerts when they played together too.

  • @happy1thailand hell, in duane's day, the brother did 4 hour soundchecks, and 5-6 hour shows. whipping post was an hour and a half

  • @happy1thailand I WAS THERE AT THE GLEN, THEY ALL JAMMED AT THE END OF THE DAY. It was a great day, though I've never been able to be in crowds since, too many people, it was a mess. I was out truckin' from

    California. I was 21 and had a ball that summer, playing music all over the country, then stumbling into Watkins

    Glen. ha ha I'll be 59 next week, just an old hippie.....

  • @wc4dblues No doubt the Glen was a crazy mud bath with overflowing porta-potties and acid droppers climbing up speaker towers and kids passing out and just uncoordinated madness. But I've never seen cops more mellow and the Dead-Bros. jam was pure bliss. I wish I could find a decent quality recording of that set. Peace out.

  • @wc4dblues You're not old my friend. Just experienced in ways that take years to become. Peace

  • @wc4dblues You're not old my friend. Just experienced in ways that take years to become. Peace

  • Not just an old hippie, Mr.

    You, sir, are an inspiration for us, younger Deadheads!

  • @wc4dblues hey, I was there too! three days, so hot and the allman brother, the band and was i think it was the greatful dead. i was 17

  • @wc4dblues Yes I was at watkins glen also, i was i think may 16 or 17, so many people...........it was a great week end, i think it even rained on the last day. It was the allman bros, the bank and greatful dead Those were the days! donna I will be 56 next year i wish music was it was back than!

  • @wc4dblues God Bless ya!

  • @wc4dblues I was there too. You're right it was a mess. We were able to kind of camp up in the wooded area the night before the show. When we came down in the morning people were thick as sardines, it was hot and there wasn't much food to be had. We did however buy some weed off the back of a U-Haul truck. They must have had pounds of it.

  • @wc4dblues Me too! ;-)

  • @happy1thailand How can you say watkins glen is unknown? there were more people there than at woodstock.

  • @mase5701 Dylan stadium hartford ct..... about 73 as I recall....5$ for the show

  • @mase5701 Duane played with the dead at the fillmore east

  • this was grateful dead only no allman brothers at giants stadium june 17 1991. Includes the ever so great bruce who makes this this such a great version

  • 1 word AWESOME

  • I luv the gratefull dead- thanx for posting this !!

  • I dont beleive thers's any Allmans in this,,,,,,,,,,,,--I do recognize Bruce Hornsby's voice and piano tho

  • It's actually the Grateful Dead w/ Bruce Hornsby (he takes a verse, the one before Phil).

  • this one rates a big ten!!!!!!

  • I saw the dead and the allman brothers in englishtown, nj in 1977, maybe78 or 79. What an awesome concert. Wet willie also played.

  • have you all /get/it been asleep it's all idilwsild south from here.soory

  • WOW-This Music Is Alot Better Than What I Do:)

  • Thanks for this

  • 90's Grateful Dead.....period...second verse is Bruce Hornsby... Vince Welnick is playing the organ... Saw many, many shows during that... "era." Garciafan 101 is right on target with that.

  • Greg and Bob 2010 0r 11 when?

    Red Rocks--Rock On!

  • @64delftlover That is not Jerry's early 70s voice (nor Bobby's). It has to be the 90s. No Gregg Allman either. garciafan101 has it right.

  • this is clearly NOT the early 70's. first of all the second voice sounds NOTHING like greg, because, it IS bruce hornsby. second, listen to jerry and bobby's voices, they sound WAY to weathered to be the early 70's. its is pretty obvious this is the early 90's.

  • @luke5834

    for sure, listen to phil too lol

  • @luke5834 You are right. Jerry is near the end of the line and you can hear it. RIP

  • Gerry's voice is circa late 80's here...

  • @deweypug

    This is clearly a 92'-95' recording due to the fact that Vince is in there singing too.

    "Jerry" sp

  • @beezer215 Oops, my bad on the spelling! I really prefer Jer's voice mid-seventies era...

  • @deweypug Hey, no prob. :) I prefer his voice then too. He got rougher and rougher getting close to 95'. Although in 89'-90' his voice was very majestic and "wise" sounding. Had a certain strain to it that made you feel he was stressing his all just to sing the song for you.

  • @beezer215 SOO TRUE!!! Well put.

  • this is the Grateful Dead. No Allmans no Warren. The Dead started playing The Weight on 03/28/90 and played it through 94. this has Hornsby and Welnick so this has to be between 09/15/90 and 03/24/92 which was Hornsbys tenure with the Dead. Does anybody really hear Warren anywhere on this?

  • hey, Bob, I ain't jackin' yer dog, dude.

  • No one jacks Otis!

  • I believe this is Watkins Glen or Colt Park in Hartford.

  • this must have been in the '90's.. I hear hear the wear on Jerry's voice. Not that he aint singing good..

    what year is this from? venue?

    thnx

    r.d

  • Fuck all ya'll it's still good music who cares who saug it

  • I once took a phone message from Warren Haynes. Wow!

  • Warren Haynes is the only one, as far as I can see, marvelous enough to sit with the Dead. I heard him before, and he's great. Nobody can replace Jerry. But Warren Haynes is great.

  • you must need glasses. warrens alright but he s nothign all that special. John kadlecik from dso is currently their new guitarist and he s so much dirtier than warren.

  • anmaßend und blödsinnig denken. who cares if someone posts other than english. stop being lazy and learn something and stop with the fooling arrogance.

    Awesome song.... I love the Dead, haven't been able to get enough, for the last 30 years!! Miss you Jerry..

  • @buckedoff96 me too buck! JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

  • A real classic! Thanks!

  • Great

  • Rest In Peace, Jerry. We miss you, man!

  • @Thaigirl1972 - hmm...you're Asian? I never saw many Asian Deadheads back in the day. I remember chatting w/one in a microbus leaving the Cap Centre for St. Patty's Day in '93. I saw less than ten during the decade I was seeing the Dead.

    (Don't mean to offend, just observing)

  • At no point did an Allman play with dead with Hornsby as a member (or Hornsby sitting in).

  • Actually Dry, they gigged together as I saw them in DC in '70 or '71. The first day, the Allmans played all day before the Dead the next day, the Dead led off. It was 98 degrees and I wanted to die having to wait all fucking day to see the Allmans. The good news is I saw them the year before with B.B. King in Balamer, sadly without Duane but with Berry still there.

  • Chelliegirl -- that must have been 73 or 74; i saw them the day the Dead played first -- it was More than 98 out on the field -- do you remember? a Sunshower, during 'Playing in the Band,' just when Weir was singing: "Standing on a Tower, world at my command." An "aah" went up from all

  • @chelliegirl ^-9-73 RFK this cut seems Like Uniondale LI

  • see

    The Dead, "Box of Rain," at The Gorge, May 16, 2009

    Warren Haynes sitting in

  • Thanks! Warren has always been so overshadowed by the luminaries he plays with, but DAMN, the man can sing, play, and was a peer of the Grateful Dead, and of any band I've heard that he'd even possibly want to play with..  I guess with Woody gone it was the reason Govt Mule really didn't get a lot of press, but they're awesome these days, in their new lineup.

  • @4rainbowed hey buddy. warren is sick but this isnt him this is the early 90's no allmans ita ll BS. nbut i love this song especially when the dead does it

  • This is the Grateful Dead with Hornsby and Welnick only.

  • Jó párosítás, mindkét csapat zenéjét napokig tudnám hallgatni!

  • Definately hornsby. Likely fall 1990, spring 1991.  No chance allmans on this.

  • where does the time go?

  • There is for sure some Greg Allman. Hornsby there too.
