  • god damn- jerry can bend a note in a way nobody has or ever will again.

  • @nickd444 : That '74 bounce is happening while Bill Kreutzman was alone at the drums. It always had a different feel when Mickey Hart was with him.

  • What a great idea! Very cool hearing the nuanced and glaring changes over the years. I do have to agree that as much as I love Micky and the two drummers together, there is an unmistakable pristine aspect to the flow and groove with just BK; his jazz sensibility was able to shine. Either way I keep finding new ways to love all aspects of their music!

  • @schmabit go fuck yourself for saying that you asshole

  • @blackie411 77 englishtown was my first show....agree with you..early 70's to end of Kieth were the best years for the Dead...never cared for brent s voice, songs, or his h .....rot in hell midland

  • Love 'em all differently, but since I fell in love with this music in 69, I favor the period when PigPen was still a part of the band, even though cases can be made that 73 and 74 had more creative, yet refined, improvisation. Still everything that came after the 75 hiatus was a little less ballsy than what preceded it and the scene changed too, in more bad ways, than good ones.

  • Jerry's Bertha solo from 5/23/77 is my all time fav piece of pickin

  • 1970-76 were golden years for the Dead. Their greatest material was recorded in these years and their live work was never better

  • My favorite is the '74 bouncy version followed by the raw energy of the '71. I like the single drummer versions more I guess, though they're all really good. Nice video btw, thanks.

  • @budfox7 (BTW funny name) Almost right on. But it was the year of Phil 1977. The Spectrum in Philly. Best bootleg to date. Scarlet Fire melt ur brain.

  • '71....cuz they were young and edgy. Less refinement, more raw energy. Everything else came later.

  • 74 Sounds like Montana...
