[@joehargis7984]

I have Parkinson’s disease and frequently have some really fucked up episodes where I simply can’t function at all. Listening to this session helps me settle my mind and actually calm down physically and mentally and regain control of my entire being. The Dead literally helps me get straightened out and back to my present state of what I now accept as normal better than any of my PD meds. Thanks for uploading this to KZbin!

[@WellseeTheend]

I pray for you! My father in law has Parkinson’s and he gets so depressed. He was a craftsman. He has a shop with tools. He’s not able to work so it is so disappointing to him. He will have my son come over and do things while he tells him what to do. It helps but he would love to do it himself. I have much compassion for him as I do for you. I pray but sometimes I wonder why a loving god would allow people to suffer. The good book does say his ways are beyond ours. I don’t know the answers but I will pray for you.

[@JohnDoe-km9pb]

Much love brother! I hope everything is well with you!

[@hamboynton7192]

This in my opinion only is the best Scarlet/Fire they ever did. Thanks for all the great music and friendships. Nothing will ever come close to the roadway circus skipping along and stopping in a bunch of towns. Concerts were an all day happening, and you were liable to see 3 bands for the booming price of $6.50. I loved going to concerts and there were a half dozen or so out of state, and I hitchhiked there. Younger generations have no idea what they are missing now a days.Concerts were truly a beautiful place for me to hangout,and meet some great lifelong friends. I'd do it all over again.

By a simple twist of fate I met him backstage at Dominguez Hillls '90. I sat on a tattered sofa. His room so unassuming. He smiled at me through his beard and passed me a joint. FUCK! I don't smoke pot! It makes me soooo paranoid. I hit it twice, oh shit! He could see that it was on top of me. Now im with my hero and im thinking about the labrynth of corridors to get me back to my seat. He looked at me, turned aroud and rummaged through a trunk. He turned back and handed me two passes to watch the show backstage. I dont know how he knew, but that was Jerry. I never really knew him but i never loved a stranger as i did Jerry.

***** thanks... I'll check it out if I haven't already heard it. I once ate a late night meal with Jimmy Carl Black when the Grandfathers performed

[@tpap6827]

Jerry’s solos on both tunes represent his most sophisticated melodic playing That I have ever heard him play. He does simply stay in B Mixolydian but pulls off some serious modal interchange depending on the chords mixing major, Mixolydian, Major and minor pentatonic. Arpeggios. Triads, chord tones for each chord truly playing through the changes in a way that he never hits a bad note. The solo of scarlet sounds like it was composed and yet he never played it even close to that well again. That was the night where his band was the best band I. The world. I don’t think people appreciate how perfect his playing was on that evening. I have memorized the solos and he never again would play with that combination of note choice, flow, playing what he heard in his head with no regard to guitar fall back licks based on thf geometry of the fret board. Talk about a real example of the stars being aligned on this evening. Phil was reshot, Keith, Mickey, Bill snd Bob were all giving each other space with no busyness. That is an untouchable jam which is why the tape is undoubtedly one of the best if not the best performances. they have plenty of great shows but very few shows you can go back to over and over again and figure out new examples of genius. If you can’t enough they will be those nights when even though you’re probably experimenting it seems like every single attempt it’s something new works out. Find any example of scarlet begonias fire in the mountain compared to this and tell me this doesn’t absolutely destroy it there’s literally no contest. Every now and again I talk to some deadhead he’s not a musician who wants to show me something that nobody else is heard and insist it’s the best and it never measures up ever. Whenever somebody says they don’t care for the dead, I have to explain to them that it’s not about liking every single tape. The beauty of your dad is about finding the gems. When you play as frequently as they do You’re going to become awesome, but if you were always trying something new, you were also going to take a lots of risks and some work and many don’t. It doesn’t matter so because it makes the ones that work absolute classics untouchable jam music. One could argue that fish and the Allman Brothers are more consistently good than the Dead. But neither Bend has evenings where they are on question please the greatest band in the world and the dead has dozens of those evenings. Dozens out of thousands of attempts but dozens none the less. Their approach to music reminds me of this song in Wiser Time by The Black Crowes. If you listen to the lyrics to that song you understand the Grateful Dead and why they have so many fans. Those fans are loyal because they are always treated to a pretty good show every now and again they are treated to a miracle shell and that’s just a fact. I understand why a lot of people who are not exposed to the Dead at their best don’t care for them. That’s when you have to do some educating and that’s fun because watching the look on their face when they hear the brilliant evenings makes me know that I just made a new fan and they will be a fan for life

[@brigs369]

i find it funny when people say jerry just played mixo..shows they dont play guitar haha...mixo is the tonic of course but he played through the changes heavily influenced by jazz.. jerry is who got me into guitar 4 years ago and i practice a lot, but this scarlet solo and deal from this show literally haunt me in his ability to outline chords so melodically with such creative phrasing. its truly wild

I'm pretty sure Mom thinks I'm doing drugs because I listen to this really, really loud in the middle of the night. I don't need weed to get this. Sweet, sweet jam! So relaxing and peaceful and plain old good. I wish I could have seen them in their day but my parents weren't even born yet. That just shows how music knows no age or place or era. The world if full of some much hate and sadness and despair but when I listen to this, I can pretend everybody is listening along, just as intrigued and content as I am. Peace and love and thanks for the music!

[@janeseamore1370]

What a special comment. You sound like a most lovely person

[@janeseamore1370]

I think I should tell you something- I spend a lot Of time around really very old Tibetan yogis. Buddhists of profound peace and love. And when they take empowerment- very secret, very sacred events where they are kinda turned up a notch in their understanding -or given new authority to practice a certain practice or text-- they don’t just take an empowerment in ordinary form. They take it in true form. Which is absolute, transcendent, and realizes that at the root- all Beings are identical. And so they take empowerment in the form of visualizing themselves as containing all beings energies... the good they accelerate and multiply, the afflictive they process out right there. They take that empowerment with and for all beings. And the result of taking an empowerment like that cannot be described really but the signs are amazing. I’ve seen 5 rainbows shooting yo filling the sky from their heads, Ive seen parts of their bodies start to vibrate so fast they vanish, Ive seen them multiply their bodies into many bodies all in the same room and then come back to one body. I’ve then seen them Go out into the world and perform Miracle healings and things that is beyond comprehension. What you are describing about that joy you feel and how you bring all beings with you to that joy is EXACTLY the same as they do. Exactly You are probably an unreal healer and just don’t even realize it. Just bless your body speech and mind so any who sees you or hears you or touches you or thinks of you is healed and liberated into happiness. The Grateful Dead naturally draws great bodhisattvas from this and other times to it. It is an assembly of very high lightworkers and very kind people like you. You don’t need to look into the mystical parts or even pay any attention to my comment. I wanted to tell you though that is a very special very high level practice you are doing. You never stopped to think to keep it for yourself. You are a mahasattva. And please, at least, make sure that others around you are kind to you in your life. Don’t forget you are a really good hearted person. Sorry long and weird. Bye bye. Hey you would like 5-22-77 after this

I’ve been listening to the dead for almost a year. My introduction to the dead was Wake of the Flood and The Grateful Dead Movie. It is because of those 2, that I’m very fond of the 1970’s dead. In 2020, I spent 122 hours listening to a lot of Grateful Dead. The dead changed the way I see music nowadays. The dead taught me that playing music should be about improvising, creating something new every time when preforming live and going off on crazy jams. It is because of this that I don’t really listen to bands I like that much anymore (Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Steely Dan, Scorpions, Pink Floyd). When I listen to those bands every time, it’s the same thing over and over, but with the Grateful Dead, I could listen to 5 Dark Star’s from 1972, and they will all be played different. I could listen to Playing in the Band that were preformed in November 1972, particularly 11/15 and 11/18 and both of those playing in the band don’t sound alike at all. The Grateful Dead made me appreciate live music. Long live Jerry and The Grateful Dead. 1970’s dead rules.

[@dalemurphy9558]

I'm in 122 show plus club. I think I hear what you are saying about improv. Don't forget format. Practice your scales. Learn music theory. Play the same thing over and over again. Then improvise.
