Grateful Dead - Bertha 4-12-78

simply epic

BERTHA!!!!! Furthur CO. march 5,6 be there

First song I've ever heard of the dead (studio version).
After since I called myself a Deadhead.

Born in 1990 here.

Love this song, I was born 3.5 years after this vid was filmed so though wish I was there it couldn't happen.

But for dead head kids who went to shows as babies and others bitch about it being unsafe, well hey if you have lived on a happy and succesful life, well I'd much rather have that feeling in my mind that I saw the Dead in their prime.

RIP Jerry

I love this April '78 Duke University show, and not just for the Bertha. First there's the b/w video that gives a proper sense of the 31 years between then and now. Then there's Jerry, Bob, and Donna all vocally bringing it, and Jerry with his black beard, so energetic and happy. I wish someone had driven me as a 17 year old down from VA to NC to see this show. Still, its sweet to watch and listen on Youtube.

Beautiful, beautiful!

Jerry dancing and enjoying himself is so nice to see.

God, I miss Jerry Garcia and going to Dead shows with my friends.
