I feel kinda sad hearing your review but I understand everyone has their own particular tastes in music. And I'm not a musician (other than being in choirs when I was young and playing a little piano and guitar.) I love many types of music but adore few musicians. I adore Blood Orange. I think of him as kind of a Neo-Soul Jazz with a hint of Indie

I've been a fan of HCS for long time this version speaks for itself absolutely awesome 👌

Great pick. I think it’s great how you pick up on things like Beatles riffs poping in and out. Whether intentional or not they make you hear things that you recognize or want to hear in the music. I can really hear how “I Know You Rider” could flow out of this. Did they mean to do that or is it a story my brain is making up about what I want to hear? All part of the fun of listening to a show and trying to guess what might be next. That’s part of what makes them The Grateful Dead

I always wished they continued to perform this song. I love the floaty swimming through the clouds feel

That Playin went full meltdown, I like it. Beautiful Stella Blue, Great set of music.

Love HCS! Another song that should have never left the rotation! Great review and great version of HCS. I love how you pick up on the multiple different melodies simultaneously but yet is so harmonious. Agreed on the Beatles, the first I heard it I asked myself if this was a Beatles cover.

This song had a short shelve life never understood why

almost hear a dash of China Cat in this.

Somewhere, John Mayer specifically references this jam as an example of Jerry's genius. He says, plenty of players could play the transcribed notes but it would sound chaotic and disjointed. Jerry was all about flow. Other guitarists may have better technique. Jerry's genius was the choices he made. As for the Beatles influence. Garcia acknowledged it. It comes through more on the studio version. There is also a reggae influence on the rhythm. The dead were pretty subtle in their thievery!

Yeah, this jam is one of my favorites.

Mmmm'mm you get any more of them biskets back there!? Yes'em🎉

Yeah,you right! Sounded a bit thin at the start, but once they hit the jam, it filled out and really took off.

Oh, this is a good 'un 👍

Mickey left in February '71 and returned for one show in '74 just before the band went on hiatus. When they started back in '76 Mickey was fully reinstated. So obviously only Bill for this show.

That was classic 👌

You talk about doing a series on the interpolations between songs, and you've picked the perfect one to start with. They mostly went into Fire On the Mountain out of Scarlet Begonias, but not always. The night I became a Deadhead, 10/28/85, they opened the second set with Scarlet Begonias>Touch Of Grey. And I know they've done other songs out of Scarlet too, so it's perfect.

I love the things you pick up on that I’ve never thought of, like, Steal your face and long strange trip in the same sequence. Great review and amazing sequence the MLB jam into Truckin is just absolutely filthy. For me the distinction between songs is the opening chords of the next song. If it’s a long jam to get there then it’s either the previous song there or just a “jam” between songs. Enjoyed this!

Donna sounds best on Maternity Leave

Mind Left Body jam references a similar motif from Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun. The Truckin' jam is a nod to Nobody's Fault but Mine which they did off and on through the years. This show definitely lives up to the billing.

This was pre formal space. So they would experiment more during shows. Latter they had a spot for it

Phil hammering on wharf rat, keith filling beautifully

That melodic jam after the really spacey part you called "some psychedelic shit" is the Mind Left Body Jam

Have a very Jerry Christmas and a happy Bob Weir. Phil Lesh Navidad!

MLB Jam is the descending chord progression starting at 40:55 to about 46:00 of your video. They played it in some dark stars and other jam, eventually Bob wrote it into the chorus of the Music Never Stops. The beginning of he’s gone is similar to ramble on rose and they’re both on Europe ‘72. 1971-1974 was no Mickey. Agree that from he’s gone and on wasn’t their best playing

LISTEN LONG ENUFF AND you can hear their minds work in or bobby's anxiety Phil's detour capabilities...jerry leaping of the central californian coast as a 700ft Pteradactyl...into the Sun...The california condor his closest blood~lion mithachondrialhypocondriatic sea dna-tennessean sea gulski❤🎉u have uuuuuuuu🎉

The Captain has turned off the No Smoking sign.

Distinction for slot of us is when your listen to a band.......like we do sooooo many thousands of answers even w/o an ear for music 1 would and could here the faintest of faint striation being introduced kinda like shutting ur eyes n feeling denim then go in to flannel then perhaps courderoy too snakeskin finisher her off with some sharkskin or 40grit ...sandpaper... Ya know sandpuppy shark🎉❤HO! HO! HO!❤

Maybe even ITS A SIN JAM.....they all run down the same crack in the pavement to me those 3 nobodyd, its a sin, & mind left body!!!.. Don't make me milk ur turkey Now!!

When Jerry breaks into his interpretation of Robert's heartbreaking lyrics for Stella blue, it tears my heart into shreds. The incredible depth of emotion he puts into the life of the loser,who has given his whole life willingly to his art and the ability to make an audience become one with the music and the musician. If you can find that magic moment... it's all worthwhile and your heart is healed kn the moment, even if it falls back into reality when the song ends.

Take a listen to Garcia Doin!!! Funk typewriter deal unit ....ill tell ya! 🎉Did you here what I just Heard🎉

The 12/19/73 is a Dick's Release or sumthin rather.......itll boogie doobie on joe head!!! Here comes the Moonshine before the Sunshine🎉....+ everything else...but Hey this You get @min.35:55 is a cooking in and its a CooooooknnnOut!!!...sometimes the tension in the the Band CO-CREATES!!!!.... HENCE THE PHIL GETTN CHUCKED DOWN THE STAIRS @ 2/14/68 THINKN THAT WAS IT THE BAND IS OVER SURELY!!!....THEN LISTENING TO IT LATER AND HAVING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REALIZATION ....1 OF THEIR GREAT AGGRESSIVE SHOWS...THE 🐲 DRAGON...WAS ON THE STAGE SLITHERING INBETWEEN THE PLAYERS WE KNOW.....YA KNOW!!!...GOOD LISTENIN!! GOOD CHANNEL KEEP IT GOIN AND UR NOT GONNA HAVE ANY PROBLEMS ....YA KNOW!!!🎉 EASY LIKE THAT IMAGINE.....SHOW ME SOMTHIN BUILT TO LAST .......AND YOULL KNOW IT AS HIGH REALLY HIGH ANTIGUITY ......🎉MIND LEFT BODY JAM.....🎉or Nobody's Fault but Mine 🎉I always mix me up!!! There ya have it 🎉❤

Sorry I'm blowing up the conversation, but at least it will help the algorithm. I really appreciate you for curating these performances. After working 14:00 to 23:00 I love being able to share my love for the music with someone who will find it first me and make it available online. Your salient comments delivered at just the right level to be understood without being overwhelming put me in the same room with you, and (obviously) encourage me to participate in the conversation.

I have always loved He's Gone. Such a dis song,but it is what it is . He stole all our money, ( mickeys dad) yet the answer is not to hate , just to accept that it was on him only, and we need to let it go in order to be ourselves. Nothing left to do but smile! I hate that Micky felt he had to leave the band, and was so happy when they reconciled in 74, if I remember from last week's mis post.

How do we know? We don't. Did they know what and when? Sort of. They were striving for the now, at least that was what Jerry said. He said that it didn't work sometimes, and they had to learn how to be "more professional, so that they could deliver a good show every night. Giving up a bit of the magic that occurred every second or third show, allowed them to establish a baseline performance that would please the fans on any given night. I am not entirely sure what he meant, as far as clipping the highs,but I did notice that they developed a baseline level that they could perform to. I'm rambling again, so... merry Christmas!

They were grouchy with each other these 2 weeks!!!....runnin lean on their meds crew and band....This older fellow came up to them backstage what not....shoot the shut and had some good blow!!....maybe it was this weeks time!!...said he used to be in the business....anyhow they put a order in for 20lbs ...they had to wait not knowing when or if he'd come thru...all dam week they had everybody looking out for him....madr them all crotchety!!!... Ya know!!!....i think it was 12/12-15th he showed up with 200lbs of the translucent rainbow fishcake flake!!....hey they had a huge crew!! & they'd need to get more creative then ever to hide their supplies!!! Take a god dam wall of sound of little speakers hand made cabinets and the decoy truck and WOSound went ahead and you damn tootn' wouldnt ya know it!! The damn supplies and the in the process of smuggling transport biz they'd keep adjusting the build to hide the blow!! Bob!#!🎉😂....thats how they did it!! So you see the wall served a purpose then 74' the 200lbs was all whiffed up! And in don't think they ever saw the gent again... He basically comped them a god 1 they only paid for 20lbs got 200! Last fair deal in the country!! ....oh anyways the 12/18 & 12/19 show they had their stuff its night and day difference go listen to 12/18 12/19....if you want to kick it up a couple nothces....4reeeeaaaaL..🎉❤

Ps Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Wow, what a set list! Wharf rat is a personal favorite ,so😍 😍

I caught a sequence of shows where they played, playing in the band and never finished it that night. To have them pull out the finish the next night.

There was actually a taper section located behind the soundboard once the band started selling taper tickets. So typically audience tapes are from the perspective of the soundboard in the room.

I like the version of Half-Step, but it didn't really flow into PITB. It ended and then you can hear Bobby count them into PITB

There's an Android app similar to Relisten called Deadhead Archives

Pretty sure it's Phil you are hearing. He sang backup until '74. He often sang the higher notes.

Yep, I love Relisten. One of the founders of Relisten is in our FB group.

This was a pretty good one. Got kind of dark in some spots which was cool. I really liked the transition into UJB but i think the actually performance of UJB was a bit off feeling.

Really love these reaction videos man. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season. Was trying to think of random songs i dont think you have reviewed yet.. maybe do one of My Brother Essau? Its a 80s era song that is typically only like 5 mins or so not super far out but has some interesting lyrics and one of bobbys best one liners "shadowboxing the apocolypse.. and wondering the land". Just an idea!! Keep the videos coming!

You’re r reactions, evolution, and appreciation have been great! What you’re experiencing reflects people’s reaction when attending shows. Imagine being at these shows not knowing what to expect or expecting something to happen that wouldn’t. If this was your first show, first exposure to the Grateful Dead, or your first Playing in the Band, depending on a lot of factors, your reaction would be different. The second, third, or fourth… Everyone got something personal from every song, set, show, solo, or “movement” (as you nicely described). Keep enjoying and sharing!

You have reached the part of your Dead journey where one asks the question, What went wrong ? You can hear the struggle and it’s interesting that they could be playing that well and still not pull it together. There are places where it does gel and those parts sound fantastic which makes it even more curious. I think their music as a band was a rather delicate thing. I can see why Jerry started the Garcia band. Thanks I really enjoyed this one.

As they slowly started phasing out dark star. This song began to pick up the slack in exploration
