Pigpen sure added another dimension to the Dead.

Talk about being on it...niceeee

My favorite Dead song.

David Hetrix this was our song,miss you buddy,say hello to heaven for me

4:01 is the 2nd Crescendo.

Best 5 minutes of GD ever.

i was at this show, which was magical in so many ways, including this interlude, but the most amazing thing is that this was also the night the dead initiated - in collaboration with a scientist - an esp experiment. it was february, 1971, so i'm willing to bet a good 20% of the audience was tripping (including me) and i for one didn't take the experiement seriously until i read about it in rock scully's book 25 years later....

Shout out Chester

Perks of being older seeing the dead when Pigpen was alive. What I remember from the concert was too large gongs and that massive piano Pigpen played.

Ive never been to the Berkeley Community Theatre. Never even seen a photo til now. But i had the most vivid dream of being there for a movie screening that turned into a concert. Donna was helping to sing NFA and we were all dancing around in circles.

We are not alone.

Pretty little ‘woman.’ 😉

The stretch from 8:33 - 10:33 is everything I love about the early Grateful Dead. Jerry playing loose and easy, Phil dropping bombs effortlessly, Bob carefully adding the perfect compliments, and bill giving the whole crazy mess some legs to stand on. The cowboy/bluesy feeling this song has is wonderful. Like you are flying a spaceship through the Wild West with so much to think and feel. Simply wonderful, and like nothing I’ve ever heard.

1968 was my very first GD experience 🌉🌉🎼🎙️💖🎼🌉🌉

Let us ride

I turned 5 on that day

PhilZone Forever RIP.

Thanks, Phil - NFA⚡⚡

What a voice

I love Donna's vocals -adds so much

I remember trading a long skirt to a hopi couple for bootlegs of the June thirtieth show in Pittsburg I went to once now here I am putting in job applications

Oh gosh, The Dead were nailing Lazy/Supplication on this tour. ❤

This has been the favorite of mine back in the days of Pigpen ! He had a voice u couldn’t mistake from any one else’s ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹

This was played only once, came about only once as far as live performances go and is one of the most “beautiful jams” ever played organically by any band and never repeated is absolutely remarkable. Only the good ole Grateful Dead could ever pull off this incredible masterpiece and know to never try to replicate it. The magic of the Grateful Dead that only Deadheads will ever truely appreciate.

So the set list goes Dark Star>Wharf Rat>Dark Star so where exactly is the beautiful jam? Is it in between Wharf Rat & the second dark Star?

Excellent performance. Thank you.

Sort of reminds me of Green Onions.

Badass

from 12:30-13:06 might by the best 36 seconds of all time from the Grateful Dead

You are a weirdo ❤🎉

You are a weird o

I'm smokestack lightning ⚡ I am truly grateful for my fourtellers in witch are on my side we are going home

I have a bootleg album with this song on it + I bought it in London on my class trip in 1972 after I got divorced to go back to school to get my diploma for my dad ! My other sisters got pregnant so had to quit ! I stayed married for 5 years but they let me back into school , with my new classmates standing behind me all the way ! 💙🐰🐇🪽🌹☠️💀⚡️🥲😘🥰😍💦💧👻👽🪐🛸🚀☮️😊

Thanks for this. Love and miss the pigpen years. The best dead there is.

García era una joya invaluable , terrible musico excepcional !!!!!!!!!

Great performance! Thank you Pigpen, the unknown member of the 27 Club . . .

I bet Wilson Pickett would have approved?😊

Jammin down thee Truckin Paths- Being Buzzed- Twirlin to many Venues to Explore lots of Fun Gatherings- did West Coast Jams- thee Prices went too much in 80s- So was Honored to Learn from the Original Family- $$ was Kind in 60s+ 70s- Jerry+ Kids were out to Delight Us- Keep On Truckin- Hugs- Smiles

This was recorded 1 day shy of my first birthday. The Dead were played in my home growing up and for that I'm eternally grateful.

Dam I need a trip

Gerry really likes Pete Townsend,they both liked the China white, fuckin rich junkie s.

Dam hippies, always smoke in the grass.

Nice choice there’s so many different moods riffs of this jam and because I love the song so much always hear new quality

Pig Pin!!!!!❤

There are certain jams/solos etc from this band that give me chills…it’s when it all comes together…just the right reverb…people disregard the Dead because they don’t “get it” or think you have to be a stoner to listen…greatest American rock band of the last half of 20th century

I loved the way he dressed ! So bad of a man , who would not love that ? ❤️🐰🐇🌹🕊️🪽💀☠️⚡️🥀👽🪐🛸🚀✨🌟💥🤩🥳
