First time hearing Grateful dead | Brown Eyed Women | REACTION

[@dman4268]

Sarah, as someone who has enjoyed this music for the past 50 plus years, it is nice to see you genuinely appreciating the beauty of the Dead's flowing, rocking, creative music.

I was at these shows. I was at school in Des Moines, & made the drive, & boy was it worth it. They played the best version of Samson & Delilah to open set two at the UNIDome, mainly because Bobby’s mic didn’t work when he started the first verse, so Jerry played a 5 minute solo while it was replaced. Awesome shows. ✌️❤️🎶

[@johnr.8275]

Lucky you, Al! I was way too young then, unfortunately. That Samson is INTENSE. And the Scarlet > Fire from 2/5 is one of the best ever; might even be my favorite all-time.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

@@johnr.8275 One of the few benefits of being old is that I got to see a lot of great performers. It started with the Doors in February 1970 and the most recent was Gov’t. Mule last Summer. Looking forward to Tedeschi Trucks Band later this year.✌️❤️🎶

[@johnr.8275]

@@alpetrocelli4465 Enjoy them, Al. I have seen TTB a few times and they always bring it. TTB with The Black Crowes in 2013 was incredible. And The Doors? You lucky bastard! My uncle and I are both huge Doors fans.

[@GratefullyDead]

Thanks so much SD.!!! Great reaction. Welcome to our family!!

[@g.e.5723]

"There comes the magic", indeed! Very nice to see that people can still be moved, (literally) by The Dead.

[@axandio]

They made music out of the LOVE OF IT... Money was not the prime motivator... therefore we get awesome pure music not tampered with by a "music industry".

[@GregLangley-j3g]

Jerry was such a gem. Long live the spirit

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

His spirit is eternal.

[@pamagnolia]

They made such great music!!

[@andretib4614]

"here comes the magic..." love it

[@ghambonious]

Love seeing people still Rocking to this! A beautiful face, enjoying a lovely song!

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

I started dancing while listening to this.

[@axandio]

Ms. Dengler, you are almost dancing like a carefree deadhead hippie. :) Let the music move ya.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Oh for sure Sarah would blend well at any GD show.

[@jakeishere]

Music is a form of magic..and these boys knew how to conjure it for sure.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

Perhaps the greatest live band ever. Other great songs by The Grateful Dead include: "Bertha", "Ripple", "Truckin'", "Uncle John's Band", "Scarlet Begonias ", "Sugar Magnolia", "Shakedown Street", "Fire On The Mountain", "Casey Jones" and a fantastic remake of The Rascals' "Good Lovin'".

[@stevennovakovich2525]

'Wheel', 'Box of Rain', 'China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider', 'Dark Star', 'St. Stephen', 'Eyes of the World'...the list seems endless.

[@christopherturbett2342]

The song could be about the good old days when things were harder, simpler, poorer, and absolutely better in every single way

[@leobigelow7021]

Except for the death, the poverty, the suffering and the hopelessness.

[@Rick-or2kq]

Great times Sarah wish you could have been there, you would have fit right in, take it from an old Deadhead. To bad you cannot stop time, I would have stopped it in the 70's.

[@stanfordhicks8502]

Can't go wrong with the Grateful Dead I telling you

[@jimzimmerman2073]

You are just scratching the surface. Enjoy the ride!

[@bobschenkel7921]

There is always room for another fan on the bus, I got on in 1980 and I've been there ever since. "The Bus" comes from the song (That's It For) The Other One, "The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began, there was Cowboy Neil at the wheel of the bus to Nevereverland." Cowboy Neil is Neil Cassidy, a true American character and friend of the band. Welcome aboard Sarah, and bring your dance moves with you.

[@seankinney6328]

Looks like you get it. Enjoy the ride. It's wonderful!!!

[@tenjed4224]

The Dead and offshoots containing members of the Dead played on just about every continent. And they played most types of music at all of those places. People just listening to radio songs miss out on so much more the Dead played (and created, that many other artists used in their songs). Their drum section is what got me listening. For every person who gets hooked (and there are literally millions) there is a different reason. Yet, we all share the love of music and comeraderie.

[@sgg6927]

Here comes the magic is right !

A Robert Hunter story about Americana transported through a Jerry Garcia melody to your ears. Gone are the days when the ox fall down, Take up the yoke and plow the fields around. Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please, Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me." Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down, And it looks like the old man's getting on. 1929 when he stepped to the bar, drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar. 1930 when the wall caved in, he made his way selling red-eyed gin. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down, And it looks like the old man's getting on. Delilah Jones was the mother of twins, Two times over and the rest were sins. Raised eight boys, only I turned bad, Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down, And it looks like the old man's getting on. Tumble down shack in Big Foot county. Snowed so hard that the roof caved in. Delilah Jones went to meet her God, And the old man never was the same again. Daddy made whiskey and he made it well. Cost two dollars and it burned like hell. I cut hickory just to fire the still, Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down, And it looks like the old man's getting on. Gone are the days when the ox fall down, Take up the yoke and plow the fields around. Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please, Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me." Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jerome J. Garcia / Robert C.

[@bsananda0]

Here (hear) it comes ! It is always already there.

[@snerdterguson]

Great version of this song. Probably my favorite Brown Eyed Woman solo from Jerry. Its such a great flowing and building solo. Not that it is anything technically sensational, just so perfectly lands in the song. I had this CD years ago, first "Dicks Picks" I ever bought. In case you didn't know, these are from a series the Grateful Dead released called "Dicks Picks". Named after the caretaker and curator of the bands vault of live performances and other recordings, Dick Latvala. I believe they got up.to around 40 to 50 volumes, each a different show (sometimes with fragments of another show). At this point, I believe you can probably listen to roughly 20%-25% of all live Grateful Dead shows on Spotify.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

One thing I always felt at a show was love.

[@stephentmarksberry4484]

I did Bears acid with the band in 1971. I saw him sitting on the stage with his feet hanging over the edge. This took place at the local pro hockey .So we were face to face and he was smiling at me and I asked him if I could sit behind the amps and he let me. I got to the first space that I could get between. first person I find is Bear dropping liquid acid onto the backs of people’s hands and then they licked it off. I stuck my hand out and he put four big drops on it and I licked it off. I got a seat behind Pigpen and sat there for both sets. At one point I had wandered over to check out their gear and Jerry came over and passed me a big fat joint. We passed it back and forth long enough for people to see what we were doing and I thanked Jerry and went back to my spot behind Pigpen. I asked Bear if I could get some and he hooked me up with his local dealer. I met a lot of people in the underground acid world. I did this for years.Thanks Bear and Jerry and the other band members.⚡️🎸⚡️

[@ecarrionjr1]

You're a sweetheart. Thanks for all your great music input🎉.

[@rhlang11]

the GD stories are so vivid.

[@haroldjacobs1490]

Thank you for doing reaction to Grateful Dead. Also great would be the "Eyes of the World" from 3-30-90 or "Dancin' In The Streets" from 5-8-77. It's all on KZbin.

[@ajschroetlin2196]

Great choices. I would add the Morning Dew from 5/8.

[@johnr.8275]

The Dead didn't play Eyes on 3/30/90, they played it the night before...and it's the most overrated GD this side of 5/8/77. It's like the Dead with Kenny G. Give me a '73 Eyes any day of the week over that one.....

[@brianteichert1959]

I like your chair dancing

[@leobigelow7021]

She had me at, "Here comes the magic!"

[@CryptoCopilots]

Love the DEAD ❤ beautiful reaction ❤

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I think that I quickly assessed 800 or so different songs by the Dead. There's something for everyone and it's difficult to get bored.

[@fotdss1]

I cut hickory just to fire the stilll… drink down a bottle and you’re ready to kill!1. Hooooooooolly shifty. Makes ME SMILE1

[@mikemckool6645]

I love you!!! Grate review! Am subscribed!

[@shemanic1]

My very top Grateful Dead track is "Ripple", I want that played as I shuffle off this mortal coil. Their other awesome tracks are "Truckin'", "Uncle John's Band" & "Sugar Magnolia" Happy Journey through the music we matured with.

[@johnr.8275]

I love "Ripple", too...but the song after it on American Beauty is even better. The two paired together are lovely. I wish had done it that way live more often (I think they only did them in the AB sequence once live, at the Fillmore West 8/18/70).

[@markb3186]

WONDERFUL!!!! try alpine valley wisconsin 1989 called DOWNHILL FROM HERE it is beyond the pale and i was there!!

[@howardcarson9330]

Sarah, you enjoy Jerry's solos so much, you should check out some songs by Jerry Garcia Band, where he played a lot of different material from the Grateful Dead

[@stevennovakovich2525]

Saw the Dead, the Other Ones and Further many, many times since the early-80s. The music has a certain charm and it's never 'perfect' live. Fans of the Dead would rather have stylish imperfections and nuances every show. Jerry's guitar, voice and Phil's bass bombs were fan favorites. Bill Kruetzman's drums/percussions superb. So nice to hear Donna-Jean Godchaux at backing vocals. She is a force of nature.

[@cmzeman]

Just enjoy what you're hearing. That's the entire point. That being said, welcome aboard,

[@WilliamFiler]

"the bottle was dusty but the liqour was clean"

[@brianwalter7928]

I only just got into GD about a couple months ago. Man… now all I wish is to go back to those 70s with Jerry…

[@stephentmarksberry4484]

Anyone get the meaning of “1930 when the wall caved in ?” Roll away the door ⚡️🎸⚡️

[@mikewright4853]

You...dear, sweet woman, are a perfect example of an amazing brown eyed woman.

[@joshp2542]

Delilah Jones went to meet her God, and the old man never was the same again... Dam that's deep.

It is about the great depression.

[@ecarrionjr1]

I would suggest Kenny G..❤

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

The lyrics would flow much better if they were "brown eyed broads".😁👍

[@johnr.8275]

Actually, it would completely fuck up the cadence, whereas "women" fits perfectly.

[@LuanaAlger]

Brown-Eyed Girl, not Women... It's a classic. I can't believe anyone has never heard it before.

[@edhorton2766]

Van Morrison did Brown-Eyed Girl.

[@johnr.8275]

Umm...did you watch the video? The Grateful Dead indeed wrote and performed a song called "Brown-Eyed Women."
