Dead & Company - Uncle John's Band (Wheatland, CA 7/29/16)

[@seanhowell7819]

I’m baffled by criticism of John Mayers brilliant contribution to this 50 year musical movement. Appreciation is lost when comparison starts

[@amygravelle5820]

The man is clearly a brilliant and talented musician. Jerry smiles on Dead and Company for keeping his songs alive.

[@242-f5u]

The man is a BRILLIANT guitarist. Always has been. He is a great choice to step in for Jerry. He gets it and is truly passionate about it.

[@silverwolfmonastery]

I about shit myself when I saw John Mayer playing with the Dead. I wasn't surprised that he had the talent: I didn't have any idea that he had the heart and soul to be Dead. I have to conclude that he has become fully Dead and has breathed new life into the Dead. He is not playing with the Dead... he is one of the Dead.

[@28zebra]

I will always miss Jerry and his noodling. In many ways he was the heart and soul of The Dead. But John is a fine guitarist and the spirit of The Dead lives on. Just happy the younger generation gets to experience it.

John Mayer Respects his Position in Today’s Dead & Plays a Mean Guitar! Thanks John! Naomi Radtke 0:38 0:38

[@QueerAndUnplugged]

To those of you ragging on John Mayer's playing, or comparing him to Jerry and saying he can never measure up to Jerry, I saw several Dead shows where Jerry was very obviously loaded on heroin and was not, himself, measuring "up to Jerry", so there's that. Now I'm NOT criticizing Jerry for using; I wasn't in his shoes sharing his burden so I'm in NO position to judge him for using but we've got to stop worshiping Jerry as if everything he played was sunshine and lollipops. There were many times when his playing was subpar and I DO think Jerry would approve of John Mayer's playing tribute to his memory.

[@rsimpson5515]

The music never stopped

[@ilijacuric9582]

John is much better than that guz Garcia.For sure.

[@johnm3152]

You wouldn't even be having this discussion if Jerry wasn't a great song writer and musician

[@j.m.w.1356]

fuckin' ay right! JM's not looking to replace Jerry, no one can and JM knows that, sometimes I really feel it's Jerry playing through JM. Bobby and John have that same chemistry

[@o_o0_x914]

Jerry, thank you for writing moving lyrics and one in a lifetime melodies. I mean I rather have JM than Trey anyday personally. He just needs to get like 3 good doses and we’re there lol

[@geirtastheim8777]

John Mayer truly understands this music. At times listening to him feels like flying as abstract that might come off. Doesn't matter. One fine musician. One fantastic fantastic band.

[@gregmeyer8900]

I agree, he is a welcome addition to the family. As are Jeff and Oteil..lol

[@maddoxhallums4869]

3:25 to 3:59 is some of the most beautiful, melodic, and feel-filled guitar work I've ever heard. John Mayer is just on a different level with his talent, songwriting, and musicianship. To have an amazing modern artist such as he playing with a legendary band is an amazing listening experience.

[@brettlazor8219]

Maddox Hallums the beginning phrase of that solo is so beautiful. I can recall that note for note without having to hear the song, to me that’s proof of how memorable John’s playing is here.

[@gregmeyer8900]

I have literally listend to this version everyday since I discovered it in August, it continues to blow me away. And like Brett Lazor, I hear some of the notes, rifts or just rhytmns in a memory. John was a gift to us grateful souls..

[@scottimus4041]

This song has aged well. Listen carefully and revel in the lyrics. A masterpiece along with Terrapin. Mayer does a credible job and has the sense to stretch it out to 15 minutes. This is one of the tighest bands in the history of music. Two drummers is brilliant. I am going to play this every day because it brings tears of joy. Two years ago at the outdoor Festival at June Lake. We got the live version with Melvin Seales while staring at the face of the mighty Sierra Nevada. Tears streamed down my face in joy.

[@naomiradtke7433]

I had a hard time adjusting to John & now I’m opening myself up to him! I do really his youth! I really enjoy his Addition-he’s really present! Naomi R!

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

I feel your pain I lost my older brother this year at 56. He took me to my first show RFK90 and he was in bad health but made it to several of these shows on their final tour and called my mom and me and talked about how great he felt, like he was cured, and how great the band was. For a little while it's been hard to go back to these shows so I haven't. But I've been revisiting the phish ad Dead shows we saw it the 90s and revisiting some pretty strong memories

[@johncg8092]

John Mayer does a far greater job at filling in for Jerry than from anyone I ever thought imaginable. Then, on his own, he opens up completely differently directions. This guy HAS IT. I wish him a long and splendid career, as it seems to be headed right now!

[@RL-uh4vf]

All those Grammys are a good sign he's pretty good!✌🏻

[@ericwhyte1031]

Couldn't disagree more. Mayer sucks the life out of everything he plays. Just plain awful. Just my opinion.

[@lackenhauser]

Certainly smokes Trey from the Fare Thee Well run.....

[@MyMomo17]

The coolest thing about JM being only 40 and Jeff playing keys is that they are young and could keep this music from ever stopping.

Eric Whyte that may be the most retarded thing I’ve ever read. even if you are a hater, you simply cannot deny he is a master on the guitar.

Mayer is an incredible addition; humble, respectful and a credit to Jerry. Roster changes in many sports, companies, and yes the Dead. We are all so fortunate to have the bus running!!

[@lisztdylan7846]

some phenomenal playing by mayer, really captures garcia spririt and instead of just outright copying him, made it his own. This is probably my favourite dead and company recording :)

[@gregberry1812]

Gov't Mule helped me through some hard times after we lost Jerry and I remember thinking Warren would have been a good fit but John Mayer was born for this. I think Jerry would approve.

[@deadheadwannabe6874]

Bob molded him well

[@marcarchuleta5412]

Warren was a great fit in "The Dead" when they toured in '03

[@biaora]

Warren's a better guitarist by far, but for this job, mayer fits better.

[@deadheadwill2609]

warrens style is kind of heavy and not really what dead and co needed. that being said warren is probably my favorite living guitarist and i love when he plays dead tunes with mule, and i was never really a fan of mayer until this year either, i kinda thought he was blowing it but i was able to hit some shows and he ended up changing my mind hes been really good

Uncle John's Band Grateful Dead Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more, Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, Wo, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind? It's a buck dancer's choice my friend; better take my advice. You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice. Will you come with me? won't you come with me? Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me? Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is "don't tread on me". Come hear uncle John's band playing to the tide, Come with me, or go alone, he's come to take his children home. It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait, Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb; I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune, Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go? Come hear uncle John's band by the riverside, Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide. Come hear uncle John's band playing to the tide, Come on along, or go alone, he's come to take his children home. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go.

Bob Weir - underrated rhythym guitarist

[@JohnDoe-ub8fq]

Ting, ting, ting. He hasn't played a 'rhythym chord' in years.

[@dougbrown6690]

you beat me to it

[@chrispyle2942]

"Bob Weir Isolated guitar 89'" i can honestly say i had no idea what his contributions sounded like before i watched this

[@maximalist5038]

Personally I think of Weir as less of a traditional “rhythm” player and more an accent based one. I guess that falls into the “rhythm” category, but I think his best work is when he’s adding texture and little details to the rhythm section. Its one of those things that doesn’t stand out all that much but everyone would notice if it wasn’t there

[@darkstar92772]

Agreed. 💯. The problem is that he’s usually buried in the mix and you can’t really hear him. I think if you want to get a real idea of how good he really is listen to ‘71. He was up in the mix a little more.

[@1023Endurance]

Well done Mr. Mayer well done

[@1ifbyland2ifbysea]

Its so good

[@samr3473]

Everyone bitching about this is wrong , or this ain't Jerry..... Think about this, a younger generation gets to experience a facet of the dead at least. Bob is making sure to pass along the dead to generations. John Mayer, I don't care what you say, the cat is on point. How about going and experiencing some of what may not go on much longer and enjoy the scene and the memories

[@miaaa7641]

As someone who was born 3 months after Jerry died, I greatly appreciate having a great successor band to see in concert. My first concert seeing them will be this August and I'm literally sooo excited!!

Agree with you so strongly. These are Jerry's songs (and Bob, JP Barlow, and Robert's) John is helping pass them on and he's phenomenal but not Jerry. I was lucky to see Jerry 35 times but many weren't. I'm happy and hoping to see these songs as long as I can

[@Pouzar1]

I loved the Dead and especially Jerry's playing back in the early days when I saw them live many times. Hard drugs ended up killing Jerry but now, as if by miracle, the astounding guitar player John Mayer has stepped in and brought this great American musical institution back to life. We should all be grateful.

[@somewhereinthecity]

Key takeaway here is WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.

[@strizzlestatus]

To all the Mayer haters, who else do you see filling Jerry's role? Its hard to do, yes - but you cant tell me this guy didnt commit all the way with this. He plays with the dead & then does his own concert after. He has already had praise from Clapton, and countless others. The exisiting members of the Dead seem to like it, so why cant the haters? And the Dead isnt about hate, just good vibes.

[@peterfilardo9380]

Very nice at this slower tempo; also, I admire John Mayer for being willing to put a solo career on hold to be "just" part of a larger group -- especially given the great job he is doing here

[@jarg8]

It's not on hold. Guy released an album and toured solo in the spring last year, dead an company all summer, another solo tour in late summer through early fall, then last minute Dead and Co did a fall tour, which was only put on hold before they could finish out the last few shows because his appendix burst. They were back at it in February but he did some more solo shows in January. He's a monster and he's just making more and more music then ever.

[@kgisabeast]

He’s also featured in many other artists songs lately, he’s genuinely so passionate about music and playing the guitar, check out his Instagram live videos on KZbin of him just jamming out at home

[@chinarider8051]

I'm sure he didn't mind putting his club gigs on hold while he plays in the highest grossing tours of each year..as they were pre-95. But these bands are apples and oranges, D&CO and TGD. The only similarities are 3 of the 6 members.

[@MyMomo17]

@@kgisabeast I saw the video where he saw back to the future with McFly playing Johnny B. Goode and he said I want a guitar so his parents gave him a second hand one with 4 strings. He was so good by 16 he went to Berklee School of Music.

I don't like the slower tempo, but this is Dead and Company, not the Grateful Dead. Mayer's a good guitarist and I really like the bass player but I'd like them to step it up a bit.

Because for one thing the grateful dead had a guitarist who could play all types of music. Like bruce hornsby once said jerry's guitar sang.

[@QueerAndUnplugged]

At first, we talked about the 3 joints of Jamaican weed that were sitting at home in the front pocket of the "other" shirt I had on when I rolled them. And how it was a shame that I changed shirts. Then we talked about my "conversion" into a Dead Head in my 2nd year of college by being exposed to nonstop Grateful Dead music thanks to my roommate...and how I didn't "get" the Dead until I was tripping on some shrooms and how after THAT I understood and was hooked. We also talked about the difficulty it was being a Demi-God among Dead Heads. Jerry said he couldn't really understand it. In his words "All I'm doing is playing music and spreading the love of music". I remember very stonily saying (is that a word, stonily?) "Well exactly. Music IS love". He started laughing and chanting "Music is Love" like a mantra and Earl Saunders wandered by and picked up the mantra and we were all saying "Music is Love" and then somebody put an "Ohmm" behind it and we ALL laughed hilariously. All I remember after that is saying "Ice Cream. I MUST have ice cream". In other words, a fun time was had by all, particularly by me. I was in the presence of Demi-Gods, after all. /|\

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I love John but he looks like he’s a little nervous in this one ! But what a great choice ?

[@Diddlydewce]

This is so sweet. What a beautiful UJB. When dead and company formed I didn't even give John Mayor a chance, or anyone else. although I loved John Mayors personal solo career. I only new about 5 John Mayer songs at the time. They were all a major hits with me. My favorite at the time, maybe still, was waiting on the world to change but that was a more recent song when that one came out maybe 10 yrs ago or so. It was so motowny and then some. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Sorta, Marvin Gaye Issac Hayes, James Brownish. You get the idea💡 I first realized John Mayer on the Chappelle Show. It was so funny, but John's Mayor guitar was Spectacular. I was in a dark place at the time. So, I kinda left everything behind, said alot of stupid things out of ignorance of the sceen between 97 to Very Very Recently, about a few years. So I been watching KZbin and I realize how ignorant I've been. But I was in a dark place for all those years. I said some critical dumb ass shit, but I was in the darkest of places. But I had the Magic Power of the Music in me. And it saved me and perhaps another person or too. Bobs so on target with his playing. Dead and company are having their final tour this year. I hope I will be able to go to a show(s) again. I want to see dead and company at least once before the diss-band. But the beauty of the dead, is that their are always gonna be the videos as the bootlegs use to be. I'm planning on having a mini theater when I by my home. High tech every thing, and large enough to have a dance 💃 🕺 floor. I'm gonna have party's with a large silver screen, while I wait on better holographic technology, but I actually believe this technology exists already in a great form, and, you can figure out the rest. Between 97 and pretty much now I missed out on all the shows, but like I said I'm gonna party and boogie with all my friends, and then in private with my wife and My boy. Gotta alotta catching up to do. But boy am I looking forward to it. The beauty of it all is that it's all going to be so so fresh for me. The Bob Weir Wolf Pack shows, and so many other musician's too. And I can't wait. I'd like to add this, as much as I love a live terrapin, and who doesn't, but my favorite has always been the studio version if lady with a fan, and the rest of it. It's my all time favorite Grateful Dead Studio. To me it's perfectly produced, it's flawless to me. And so so sweet. You can really actually feel the spirit in this biggest way with thst album.

Some dead aren't grateful.

I really lived in a silver mine and we called it beggars tomb..( gold mine) but I really named it beggars tomb

[@bertomusica4883]

Pure music

[@daniloverissimo7250]

Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more, Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, Wo, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind? It's a buck dancer's choice my friend; better take my advice. You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice. Will you come with me? won't you come with me? Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me? Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is "don't tread on me". Come hear uncle John's band playing to the tide, Come with me, or go alone, he's come to take his children home. It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait, Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb; I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune, Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go? Come hear uncle John's band by the riverside, Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide. Come hear uncle John's band playing to the tide, Come on along, or go alone, he's come to take his children home. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go.

[@chriscaveny9593]

What I want to know is are you kind?
