Just Kidding! ;-)

[americanmumford74]

alabama getaway and sweet home alabama are the best song about my state...or the only same difference. whats this about alabama keeps coming back to me

[pyreauxpyreaux]

i dont like their music,,, but i like their acid...

[wharfRat720]

good vibes gentlemen and gentlewomen.

[DolansDen]

I miss Jerry so much...:( but enjoy his guitar daily. Plus I loved the ending! LOL

[hunterdriscoll123]

the ends fucking halarious

[gaybathroomsex]

The KKK could just yell "WHITE POWER" trying to hold a confederate flag trying to bring back segregation to the south during orgies of hard gay sex when yearning for Larry Craig's highly orgasmic butthole to rapidly convert marble bathroom tiles to a biological lair of buttfuck in a way where the toilet will use human waste as food for the living bathroom while at the same time buttfucking them. Larry Craig could be the first human being to spin off into such a biological contraption.

[livingdead1968]

I laughed my ass off at the ending.

[BBJerry8colorado]

so i was sitting here enjoying my fruit loops and anticipating the ending everyone had commented about...while watching he screen and enjoying the song i became transfixed with so many of the amazing pictures that, when the last shot happened i was entirely not ready and about covered my computer with my munchies

[BytorAndTHEsd]

Majordomo Billy Bojangles... BEST NAME EVA!!!

[thetbird]

i think his guitar goes out where you hear brent the most, kinda funny, kinda lame

[ooJDMoo]

haha the ending was the fucking best xD

[HardcoreHalalHater]

What the fuck was that at the end?

[BoondockSaints01]

@HardcoreHalalHater HAHAHA!!!! U Liek?

[TheLisseyditonto]

@BoondockSaints01 I wasnt expecting that at the end. Epic!!!

[BoondockSaints01]

hmmm... 6 ppl are pinko commie fags

[MrVoulezvous]

@BoondockSaints01 pinko, comm....what? geez, what would jerry say, douche?

[Bumbumawangis]

Dicks pick sounds like a really weird way to play a guitar,i wonder if he used glue or cellotape or god forbid ( and painful) staples.

[cubedify]

right now im listening to the music. But im not watching the video im reading your comments judging you

[johngarlandw]

Love the visuals

[duckkeeper126058]

Some like the rock band version better because you are so untrue to good music. Like this if you love the original the best!

[crispy812]

were the fuk you people get off,,, every comment is bunk..... keep them to yoursefish. arses... i'm disusted...your all fowl ........(~);{

[AtomicSpaceRitual777]

nobody's higher than Mr. Jerry Garcia. The south will rise again!

[R7ZION]

They played this song so good on SNL

[0halfblood0]

i saw them bout 2 years ago at the fourm in inglewood. just isnt the same w/out jerry garcia (R.I.P.)

[AngelusDlion]

@0halfblood0 Yah at this point I'd wonder why they're even bothering. Jerry WAS the band, let's face it.

[turtelyturtleclub]

I think The Dead are more of a live band

dont get my wrong i LOVE there studio stuff

but onstage there AMAZING

[signalsyyz]

would love to see their apperance on SNL when they did this tune...

[musicfan1996]

They make it sound like mosquito-ridden, humid Alabama is thee PLACE to escape from it all. Although I trust Jerry supremely, I find Canada a lot cheaper a getaway. Plus, it's more urban and modern...... Of course, this all-American band would never sing of a "Canada getaway, getaway..."

[dolanbrown]

@musicfan1996

No, the song isn't about taking a vacation to Alabama at all. Alabama is a dude's name and the singer is telling him to "get away."

"The only way to please me is to turn around and leave me, walk away"

[musicfan1996]

@dolanbrown / Awesome! I love the stories behind classic rock songs. I feel like telling dudes the same thing sometimes! "Before I have to hit him I hope he has got the sense to run......... Dun- dun-nuh-nuh!!"

[Brent41576]

we love u guys

[ABSTRACTTK1A]

IS THAT JERRY BOBEY OR BOTH OF THOSE HIPPIES SINGIN???????

[travisbebo]

for one this is a live show, and for two jerrys gutiar goes out , so not so many lead parts

[BoondockSaints01]

@travisbebo srsly? his guitar goes out? i never noticed that, where does it?

[Deadjam5862]

@BoondockSaints01

Rythyms in beginning are a little quiet I think

[deweypug]

You work at a PHARMacy...

[musicfan1996]

Their's is the only music that has the appropriate depth for the times we are living in. I'm no stoner (I work in a pharmacy so there is no way), but when I want to acquire complete denial of reality, I listen to this great band, with much "gratefulness." Hell I'm almost ready to cash in 15 vacation days to visit redneck Alabama!

[catdog420]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wizardlyTKO]

My dad has the book of the dead from them :P

[voodoochile9547]

my uncle chilled with dick in hawaii and helped him get started on his live collections

[hunterdog62]

I prefer the studio version

[HaruUchihaZ]

I prefer the rock band version of this song.

[BoondockSaints01]

yeah the studio version is alright but to me i think their live songs are better because they have more stuff in them like more lead parts and more keyboards.

[HaruUchihaZ]

The live versions are tight, but I can never find them without having to listen to screaming fans. It ruins the song for me, imo.

[shanesmykla]

yeah man i hear ya...but if uve ever seen the dead live youd kno why those fans are sceaming...its amazing man best time of my life

[HardcoreHalalHater]

(Sorry, didn't read the title, I was listening - it is live but doesn't sound like it.)

[Bizlinz]

@HaruUchihaZ ......i prefer the real music, now feck off. this is the rock band version, go kill yourself, dont worry. ill rape you after your dead.

[mandylorenzen]

@Bizlinz ur a fuckn wierdo man

[gtz1975]

If you were to listen to EVERY Dicks Pick Volume 1-36-------- It would take 5 DAYS... 7 HOURS... 59 MINUTES... 11 SECONDS

[mckinsie1995]

How do you know? did you do it!?

[gtz1975]

YES! I timed it all out too! NOTE: the times do NOT include the time switching the discs in the player...

[Dordracnor]

i'm assuming u actually did that?

[gtz1975]

YES! Greatest time of my life!

[Dordracnor]

Excellent dude

[wharfRat720]

@Dordracnor Excellent indeed. I don't know why this song isn't one of their more popular songs, I love it!

[nick4lifez]

man yesterday, i whent to fredericton and i bought there europe tour''1972'' tee it pwns

[fragmaster117]

o wow this gets stuck in your head so easy

[sanzdoop]

greeeeeaaaaaaatt sooong guys

[aznmetalmunkey]

This song is so upbeat! I love it when The Dead do songs like this, Kinda puts me to sleep when they tone down the tempo on a lot of their songs when they are live, But then again might be different If i ever saw them live tripping!

[chasegriffen]

I know what you mean. They came over here to Washinton yesterday and played at the Gorge. It was great!

[BuCkarOoBeauty]

i like upbeat stuff too, you ever heard truckin?

[aznmetalmunkey]

Def ;)

[shanesmykla]

is that a serious question...i think just about everyone whos heard the dead at least once has heard truckin haha

[procrastinate420]

true keep truckin

[0halfblood0]

im gowin to a dead concert in may 9th at the Fourm in Inglewood, CA. It wont be the same with Jerry Garcia gone bt still

[BoondockSaints01]

Jerry was a great guitarist yet everyone likes to think he and the Dead suck...

Also I would LOVE to go to a Dead concert man that be awesome! I live up in Fairfield, CA. so hopefully they come through Sacramento or something.

[gdog8790]

one question man who's "everyone"

[BoondockSaints01]

lol everyone I have talked too...then again most highschoolers and 20 year olds are into other things.

[gdog8790]

you need to talk to other people man lol

[BoondockSaints01]

lol i KNOW!!!! its hard bein a 17 yr old Hippie in this day and age and NOT be in Berkley oh well....

[wfbgard]

Berkeley is too expensive for real hippies, and has been for a long time.

[12OclockLow]

good call.

[tyikiki101]

@BoondockSaints01 lol Berkleys awesome

[danv184]

is alabama suppose to be black people im confused this song seems racist but i dont think the dead would be racist

[BoondockSaints01]

you know im not sure. The Grateful Deads lyrics were out there. I think it might be about a dude named Alabama at least thats what i gather from it. But i wouldnt know for sure.

[djmskat]

too me its about a pimp introuble with the law, ut your guess is as good as mine

[selli82pips]

Well, Dick's Picks are really awesome, with some incredible masterpieces in Dick's Picks 4, 8 and 36, in my opinion

Wishes from Italy :)

[BoondockSaints01]

Italy! nice! you still there or were you just visiting or what?

[selli82pips]

I'm Italian: I Live in Salerno :)

[selli82pips]

1979, sorry :D

[BoondockSaints01]

yup 12/26/79 they were on their game that day, cause personally i like this version more than the original

[selli82pips]

great! dick's picks 5 was recorded on december 26 at oakland auditorium, 1976

brilliant!!!!
