  • This is from the Acoustic set from S.M.U., Dallas, Tx.12-26-69. I've had this show for many years, so I'm 100% sure the date is correct. I agree with the earlier post, the crowd isn't heckling at all. In the early days, there was alot of stage chatter, both on and off stage. Often, the banter was between the musicians and people in the audience. This is a good example of that intimacy, which was pretty much gone after 1971, and all together by 1975.

  • You are correct. This IS from 12.26.69

    Stage banter used to be awesome! Remember the 'Yellow Dog Story'???!

  • Best description of the Dead I've ever heard: "It's country music, except the country is Mars."

  • Love it!!!!! Jerry, your voice is so sweet.

  • I highly doubt that they would be heckled for playing country music in Texas...

  • i got my taste for eclectic guitar music in the late sixties. i was happily living out the hippie generation with the Dead, my friends, and anyone i bumped into in Santa Cruz CA. if anyone refuses to acknowledge (good speller since second grade)..then it is their loss and not the Grateful Dead's poor taste. i always loved these guys because they played for themselves and anybody who wanted to listen, the true mark of musicianship

  • Kelli112387 get over it. A lot of what the Dead played could fit easily into "Country" Sorry if this is bad news to you but Mama Tried is a Merle Haggard tune and El Paso is a Marty Robbins tune. S' Even worse than you thought: "Shake Down Streets" is a Disco tune. Real musicians are always listening to what is happening and reflecting it. They're above being stuck in one genre. Except for Opera. That shit is just rap for the menopausal. JK

  • This is country, just look at Bobby's guitar!

  • this isn't country you retards, its good old jerry bluegrass.

  • @ChinaCatDeadHead the band I play in has some of that goin.I think well do this one as were a country rock band

  • haha always thought bob weir sounded like tommy chong...

  • this is from Bears Choice 1970
