[darthvadorthestrong]

[cuntmuscleify]

[dylantscott]

Jesus

[yajustgotaloveit]

What a treat to see such an intimate video of Mr.Garcia.

[GSRJosh33]

Bill Monroe is proud. You sung it better than the original. So what YOU gonna do when you come to the end of the way?

[bobshenix]

Jerry Garcia singing bible music... now i've seen it all ;)

[Confederado1]

@bobshenix Jerry's full of surprises; you need to hear his "Amazing Grace," and "Drifting Too Far From the Shore." Notwithstanding his gospel works, don't you think that some of his songs like "So Many Roads" have a spiritual aspect to them or is it just his method of delivery? A facinating person searching for the right path; "All I want is one to take me home." Or maybe I 'm reading too much into it.

[gritzah]

Jerry had a reedy, nasally voice that perfectly complimented his guitar work.

[FRANCECHILD]

GOD

[danadoyel]

Love it! Cold Jordan!

[TheYankees2300]

One of my favs of all time ,,,nice post brother !!

[sittingnextto]

In fact, Jerry probably couldn't believe "that chick" even wanted to sit next to him. In 1970, Jerry was just a cool guy in a 4-year old band. Sylvia Tyson wasn't "some groupie". Ian and Sylvia were a long established Canadian folk duo greatly admired by Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen..and she wrote "You Were On My Mind"--a huge hit.

[ZoSo263]

I hate woman humming in the back of great guitar players / singers. From Dylan over Townes van Zandt to Blind Willie Johnson...

[rainbowcolorsblend]

incorecct

[icoson]

God Bless Jerry

[magicman2001]

Heres the deal with this song, which he sang many times with Weir , John Dawson, and David Nelson. He kind of rushed thru it, didnt really have any accompaniment- Harmony to help him get thru the song which is really a great Old Time Gospel Tune

Singing about making it thru life without Jesus. Jerry wasnt religious but had a great spiritual connection...So....God Bless 'im

[MrMellomusic]

Jerry Garcia was a hairy man.

[estimatedeyes]

One of the Beautiful Ones this man was. Soo missed. xx

[qualls1965]

why is everyone commenting so focused on Sylvia like she is just some groupie on the train? She and her husband Ian performed on the tour with them... look up Ian and Sylvia and also the band Great Speckled Bird for some education....

[funkalicious02]

@qualls1965 Umm cus almost every single person Jerry met became a groupie. Aint nothing wrong with that, he was the boss

[tabber87]

Ian disliked this video.

[mattjohn77]

@tabber87

word on the street is, Ian dislikes puppies and fried chicken too.

[kenbossy22]

i can't explain how brilliant this is. I first discovered Cold Jordan from Dick's PIck's 8 and Festival Express just so happened to be on documentary channel today and i saw this and got chills.

[hicks727]

She's like "take me out on the road jerry". Hes' like "no I won't take you on the road but I will take you tonight....wonder who that is?? what a body

[NJofBaja]

@hicks727 Sylvia Tyson

[twinkie999]

that chick was totally diggin him

[kpaul79]

I love Jerry's voice......

[somanyroads74]

I love the little "Hey!!!" he gives the girl sitting next to him at 0:14 in. Priceless!!!!!! Jerry was the man!!!

[Druss1586]

That girl was humming the chords along with the guitar.... nobody gave her any tribute. I see what Jerry was jivin at though, she was cute.

[bdahlberg12]

jerry garcia will forever and always be THE MAN.

[MGoBlueDeadHead]

miss u jerry

[GhostofCliffGullett]

I can give you John the Baptist's head on a platter. 

[jerryskid84]

God, that's where IT is, I hope I'll be able to inspire someone to play someday the way THE man could... brings tears to my eyes, and this was just him off the cuff... How many times can we say we miss you before we can have you back??

[charfman84]

damn, that chick is fuckin hot for a hippie!!

[tubiebrother]

@charfman84 Sylvia isn't what a would call a hippie. She's more country. Not to be technical. Don't let the bandana throw you

[420timetoburn]

@tubiebrother country can be hippie. hippie is not a look, it's a state of mind.

[tubiebrother]

@420timetoburn I know it's a state of mind. If i thought it was a look, I would have said she might have been hippie here. I meant her state of mind wasn't really hippie. It's country or folk because that is her style of music and in interviews and what not she doesn't really seem hippie. I don't know the woman personally and there are different types of hippies of course but....well nevermind

[420timetoburn]

@charfman84 there are a lot of hot hippies

[ledzepphead1]

love you garcia.... rip man... see you in heaven.

[curbshoppin]

he was a great picker country, gospel,rock, folk, he did it all real well.........I miss the man and his music

[GhostofCliffGullett]

John the Baptist singing Cold Jordan.

[moeronic53]

RIP Jerry.

[stuco]

Jerry is such a bad ass.

[estimatedeyes]

Tickling Ears! ♥

[skydogz1]

Sylvia lookin' great, as usual.

[kevbauder]

Jerry Garcia can sing the gospel.

The crickets are tickling ears.

[imajeepster]

Where DID he learn all those songs?

[schlapya]

bliss

[gcar4812]

that woman is beautiful

[deathlikesilence710]

does anyone know where that strap on jerry's guitar is tied too?

[1982Col]

@deathlikesilence710 right where the neck meets the body of the guitar

[eabrahamson3]

So is Jerry in heaven or hell?

[pajiad191]

@eabrahamson3

heaven, duh

[TheJoshprice1990]

The train is called the festival express. Great dvd from bands who you arent likely to see ever again.

[mountainhigh88]

Beautiful

[deathlikesilence710]

jerry was a jew? lol

[GDplanetrockGD]

you people are really weird. why does everyone think about sex constantly? this song is absolutely incredible, hopefully that'd be more interesting than jerry's sex life

[PageandPlant4Life]

cause sex is fun. It is also part of the Trinity of awesomeness that is Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll

[actron]

People commonly insult Jerry's singing but I thought he had an excellent voice.

[desertfox202]

I agree. This song is traditional and about the Jordan river. I don't know if jerry was Christian, but he had respect.

[peregrinatious]

jerry was a jew and the jordan is in palestine.

[ericbrock75]

you are one uninformed turd

[eabrahamson3]

@ericbrock75

[silverwolfpacora]

Yep Jannis died like right after this was made.

[crwhitneythegreat]

K, he's singing about Jesus, but all the comments to this vid are about sex. Listen to what he's singing about, and get y'all heads out the gutter...And watch festival express, Janis is in it, too. Peace be with them both!

[silverwolfpacora]

On this train they were soooooooo drunk and high look up the move "Festival Express"

[goodbye41]

I just watched it last night for the first time...some KILLER performances by The Dead, Joplin, Buddy Guy, AND The Band...that tour was like no other - it captured all of them barely post-woodstock and fresh off the high of a golden age in music.

[usulkane]

she's not that hot....im sure Jerry had seen MUCH better

[DarthCouragous]

she is so typical, and not that hot. You folks needa run with a different crowd that fits to you, maybe you will find a generic everyday chick like this after all.

[johnnylaw100]

She is so vucking hot. Holy shit!

[willruddock]

Her name is Sylvia Tyson.

[bobshenix]

that look Jerry gives her at 0:12 is priceless... hilarious. i like how she is adding her little vocal nuances to the song, adds a particular feel to the song.

[bobshenix]

lol i'd like to think so... who knows. Sylvia is her name i guess??

She is uhghghghgh so hot. I miss you Jerry!

[windydoughnut]

you know jerry was smackin that, fuckin lady killer

[GDguitarplayer]

I miss Jerry.

[amb73]

id bet he fucked her that night

[rvcrvc2]

Me too. She looked so '60's hot in this, (& maybe stoned.)

[thkujerry]

jerry never cared much for careless love......

[ascheylus]

effin awesome... jerry circa 1993 kindof looks like god would look like to me.. how you gonna feel when you come to the end of the way..

[caseyjones67]

i wonder if jerry tapped tht hot bitch next to him

[1947Chief]

sylvia is so hot - thank you jerry for all the great music - rip

[crwhitneythegreat]

That is true Garcia. Thanx for the post. He is a friend of Jesus...Funny he was singing about a friend of the dev-- earlier. I know Jerry is a friend of Jesus and NOT the dev--.!! Bless you...

CRW

[meatpopsicle1]

you realize that 'friend of the devil" doesn't literally mean the devil right?

[crwhitneythegreat]

I suppose I didn't...

thank ya

crw

[meatpopsicle1]

yeah it's a metaphor, I think for drug use but I'm not sure, that is my best guess though

[crwhitneythegreat]

That does make sense...=)

CRW

[Alfrunk]

What do it mean??

[poopies474]

HIT THAT JERRY

[heyjunky]

pimp as hell..

[CharlieBriggsBeef]

John the Baptist singing Cold Jordan.

[rainbowpagun]

[sistersuetube]

I miss him. He was brilliant. I have many fine memories of all those shows.

[muffinman223]

@sistersuetube your so lucky

[000clint]

@sistersuetube just wondering but you remember them? ha

[Melekaii]

Garcia dreams at Amazon

[Melekaii]

Garcia Dreams  Key word Melekai

[bikerhippy]

Chick next to Jerry is a Hottie

[SugarKowalczyk88]

I would go back in time and marry Jerry.

[mellowmushgrapetripp]

go jerry!

[blackfoot332]

straight lady-killin at 0:14

[hendrix726]

Badass.

[UpsideOutInsideDown]

lol

[austinitesince1979]

I like when Jerry plays acoustic

[silentdreemz85]

@austinitesince1979 You should look into david grisman and garcia all he does is play acoustic in that band

[austinitesince1979]

@silentdreemz85 I have many of Grisman and Garcia's recording's together. My favorites are Old & In the Way, Grateful Dawg, and especially Pizza Tapes with Toni Rice. I cannot forget Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions! You know about that album & have it in your playlist right??? Jerry, Pigpen, and Bob doing entirely jug band songs complete with kazoos, washboard, washtub, harmonica, banjo, guitar, and jug. Awesome album! I link the info from the album to grateful dead info at wikipedia.

[silentdreemz85]

@austinitesince1979 i dont understand how that has anything to do with my comment. i already knew what you told me. im just saying if you like jerry acoustic then just listen to him and grisman.

[silentdreemz85]

@austinitesince1979 Yea I know about it all. I have it all. I have everything I could find. About 200GB of Anything Jerry came close too. You're a rare breed even amongst dead heads. Good Person.

[austinitesince1979]

@silentdreemz85

Wow! 200GB!?!! cool. i was just continuing to talk about other acoustic Garcia recordings. I was born in 1979, and I didn't start playing guitar until 1994, when a freshman in high school. I've still never seen the Grateful Dead in concert. I do love their music. I found Working Man's Dead, and that is still my favorite album. I listen to some of their concerts. I really like it when they do acoustic more than any electric guitar, even though Jerry is great at it all.

[standardsal]

I wish I had been on that train.  Or born yet.

[crosbystillsnash68]

trust me if you were concieved or actually born on that train you'd have some major brain damage man haha but the footage is awesome!
