This has to be the greatest male weepie in the history of cinema. Clifford Grove's old flame Norma shows up out of the blue and reminds him of all that's absent from the relentlessly banal prison cell in which he's been trapped for the past 20 years, aka The Nuclear Family. The poor guy instinc...

It's a great song, no denying. But what makes this performance so especially fxxxing awesome is the interplay between Garcia and Croz. Nobody can deny the acid connection twixt Bobby and Jer, but we get the chance here to to listen to something different. The Croz can't touch Bobby's plasticit...

Back in the 80s I recall this circulating as part of a vinyl bootleg called "Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead" and this track was entitled "Morrison's Lament." The whole thing is pretty rough. I'm not aware of an official release but according to Wikipedia the original reels are owned...

That's Dane COUNTY, not Dane "Country". Enjoy. ;)

Where is the video of the concert(s)? These look like "video checks" as much as they sound like soundchecks ...

More, please!

Someone said that they "actually liked this better than MEATBALLS." Anything is possible, I suppose. Some people think Schpeelberg's 1941 is more entertaining than Jaws. If you like watching guys take off their shirts and pants, guys jacking off, guys sitting on toilets, and guys holding each ...

Exactly what is the heinous bullxhxit in the lower right corner of the screen??

Okay, let me break it down for everybody.

The sound in this video SUCKS.

The video is actually not that bad.

But neither the Grateful Dead or whoever "owns" their legacy now (possibly some asshole company that rhymes with "wino") owns this particular footage or sound recording.

If this actual...

In other news, YouTube commenters conclude that The Beatles were a bunch of actors completely acting in talent, and who were utterly incapable of singing a cover version -- much less an original version -- of any song.

In its own sublime way, this movie teaches us as much (or more) about the First Amendment than about pedophiles. In that respect, it's an excellent documentary, one of the best on the subject.

Unless you are engaging in a conspiracy to commit a crime, you are free to think about anything you wa...

This is excellent.

Get rid of the silly digital delay on the vocals when you perform this and 'Somebody to Love'. It's not necessary. You guys have the chops and there's no need for obvious "effects." If anything, it's a distraction.

That said, you guys "get it." I'd give my left nut to hea...

I'd be interested in knowing how the band arrived at their odd stage dynamic with Bobby and Phil huddled near Bill's drums, leaving Jerry as isolated as he could possibly be. Did Jerry tell Bobby to stay the fxck away during "the jams" or did Bobby figure out that Jerry plays better without any ...

I've also wondered whatever happened to Ms. Nortier. I can only guess that she doesn't want us to know and the few people alive who do know where she is (or what happened to her) are respecting her wishes to keep that information secret.

I do know that a band named "Old Yeller &...

Not only composition/lyric genius, but production/recording genius.

Fxckin A. The rhythm. The stereo separation. Lick my bluebird, George Martin.

There's a *tad* bit of surface noise on the audio. ;)

Still, the greatest ever version of this song. Fxck the Beatles.

I think the movie is pretty darn funny as it is. My impression from various academic articles about the film is that very little was cut from the film. Maybe a couple scenes that were deemed too silly/ridiculous by the producers? Who knows what Ford is talking about.

As others have noted, one...

@mlynn02 9-18-74 leaps immediately to mind. Englishtown 77. That's off the top of my head. I'm sure there's many more. It's not about the "wrong notes" (tho' those don't help). It's about attitude. And it's lacking at in this version (and, generally speaking, at this show).

Good vibrations. This is healing music. If I ever lose one of my limbs, I will listen to this music all day long and I bet it grows back.

Love the Dead, especially in 72, and this is fun but ... I'm not surprised they never incorporated it into the regular repertoire. 'Chinatown Shuffle' has more or less the same vibe but had the advantage of Pig on vocals.

My fave version is Karen Dalton's (also on YouTube).

@Parkwoodparkenfarker

Any idea where those snaps were taken? Looks more like LA than SF ... tho, I see some streetcars in the background.

This vid is far superior to any of the other vids of this tour because (1) the Nowhere Man isn't chopped to shxt and (2) you get to hear Paul's fundamental contribution to the history of rock bass. Jack Bruce, Phil Lesh, Jack Cassady, bow down before the original ...

Are you with us or are you a fxcking douchebag???

The Stones simultaneously invent and destroy punk rock ALL DOWN THE FUXCKING LINE MOTHERFUCKRS

Uh ... yeah. Mick's birthday. This is the shit ... you can't love the Stones and not have digested this mega hit of Rolling Acid.

Check out Lindsey's guitar from about 4:50 on, laid on top of Mick's drumming. A massive foundation from which eternal empires are built. Was it the coke in Japan or was it the lack thereof? This is the peak as far as I'm concerned ... although I desperately need the vid of 'You Make Loving Fun' ...

FM Radio classic. Suck my fxcking bahls if this isn't one of the greatest wide stereo rawk productions of all time.

This is how legends are made. Over the course of time, for one reason or another, the Stones made many crucial fuckups (e.g., Get Your Ya Yas is a bullshit documentary of what their 69 prowess and there is nothing documenting their '72 US tour de force) but somehow this moment was captured and T...

Personally, I think Xmas is for the birds which is why I love this song (and this movie). It's actually a rather extraordinary bummer of a tune and Garland (per Minelli's direction) leaves no doubt about the irony of the lyrics. "From now on our troubles will be out of sight." "Through the year...

Peter 'Sleazy' Christopher , director of this video and founding member of Throbbing Gristle, died in his sleep Nov. 24, 2010. RIP

Where is the rest of this incredible footage?!!?!??!

This is sweet, although the cut is brutal ...

The two most plastic bands in the history of the universe were the dead and the velvets, bar none. At the end of the day, the Dead take the cake simply because they were able to maintain the original line-up longer (with Constanten and Hart appearin...

It's like the Stones and the Dead double-fxcking Wire. Truly one of the greatest songs in history of rawk. Hardcore loosers can sxck my balls be cuz drugz make this.

One of the best "amateur" videos on the web. GOD BLESS YOU.

There are a lot of awesome versions of this song. It's the Stones' take on "Caution: Do Not Stop On Tracks." This version is right up there with Mick's Birthday in '72 and Philly a week or so earlier. Almost certainly the last best version recorded ........ enjoy. ;)
