I like how you noticed the logo stickers on the equipment, since that’s actually how the famous skull and lightning logo got started- as a way to mark their equipment. The very first design was actually just a circle with the lightning bolt, and then the skull part was added on later. 💀 ⚡️ 🌹

[@Slikrik1212]

Jerry is his PRIME!!!! Whooo! Hell yeah.

[@doriwiljt]

Yes! Finally someone is reacting to this great live song. One of the best live Dead songs imo. They all bring it. Another great one Bobby sings live is Estimated Prophet. And Jerry's guitar playing. Always ♥️♥️♥️. The whole audience is dancing to this.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

My favorite version is on Dick’s Picks 18 from the UNIDome. It opened set 2, and when Bobby’s mic failed at the start, Jerry ripped off a killer 5 minute solo while repairs were made. What a show! ✌️❤️🎶

[@grayhairedgear5992]

Fantastic - you've reached into an uncommon source for Dead reactions from one of the peak periods of Dead shows. I'll be watching for more, for sure. Thanks for checking this one out; you made my night.

[@mikec6733]

The lead singer's vocal stylings are modeled after the version of this song recorded decades earlier by Reverend Gary Davis. Check him out if you haven't already 😊

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Grew up listening to the Dead. Yes, nothing so sweet as Jerry Garcia's guitar. Legendary live shows.

[@TeezMcGee]

Legendary indeed ❤

[@shortstuff7959]

The stickers were to help ensure no one walked off with their equipment.

[@tyronesharp9205]

I like that you get the Dead. Welcome aboard. Listen to everything. You won't be disappointed. Peace.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

The woman is Donna Godchaux who is a very old woman now. She was married to the piano player Keith Godchaux at the time.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

She was once a back up singer for Elvis as well.✌️❤️🎶

[@billbeliakoff5589]

She was a backup singer at the legendary Muscle Shoals recording studio and sang on several famous songs.

[@tedbowen3085]

Donna Is 76. I hope that isn’t “very old” or I am in deep shit.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

@@tedbowen3085 I only meant old in terms of Teez talking like he wanted her now lol.. I'm only a couple years younger then her so it's good for the goose and the gander.

[@austinterry28]

I thought she was married to Bobby😂😂😂😂

[@krypticalenvelopment]

this was NYE and the "closing" of Winterland where this was performed - "If I had my way; I would tear this OLD BUILDING down!" - 1st set, before the heavy drinking set in - the song was first done by the Reverend Gary Davis who taught the song to Peter, Paul & Mary who recorded a version calling it "If I Had My Way" - very old traditional song - if you're looking for some cool "dead" to check out - try the tune "Mississippi Half Step Uptown Toodleoo" or maybe a nice crunchy "Morning Dew" from 1988 - then for some Jazz - listen to "Eyes of the World" 1989 with Branford Marsalis sitting in for the 1st time with the Grateful Dead that evening

[@regularsizeruss3874]

You can drink heroin? Lol

[@tenjed4224]

At every show, I heard this jam, my feet and arms needed their space for dancing.

[@rhodaJ310]

Samson and Delilah is a song that draws inspiration from the biblical story of Samson and Delilah’s relationship, this is a good one too react to Teez , 👍 Merry Christmas to you and the family 🎄🫶🏻💕🫶🏻🎄

[@TeezMcGee]

Merry Christmas love! Appreciate the education ❤

[@JB-Deadskins]

Finally getting back to Grateful Dead. Nice choice!

[@genosiegelli5237]

Yeah, originally recorded by the late great Reverend Gary Davis who was a big inspiration for Jerry Garcia and the rest of the band. Thanks for the posting this!❤

[@alpetrocelli4465]

Jerry took you someplace new every night. And I read Bobby studied Coltrane first the chords he played supporting Miles’ solos. They were the best live music ever. Great reaction. ✌️❤️🎶

[@philipbarton2634]

My first Dead show. My first hit, (It was a tiny microdot in a clear capsule it was violet colored) My first time walking through the doors at Winterland. I was 14. My head was spinning for days. This was coming off my first concert ever at the Palace of Fine Arts about a year and a half earlier I think, The Tubes. I cannot believe they even let a 13 year old into that show, talk about debauchery. I remember at the Tubes when it started to get quite pornographic I was looking around at the adults wondering when one of them was going to tell me to leave or cover my eyes or something. All that happened was I was offered a hit off of a joint. I looked at my friend and was like "ok I think we're good" took a big drag and went back to staring at the more than half naked girls in leather onstage. I was shipped off to boarding school shortly after (surprise surprise) and did not see the Dead again until 81 with Brent.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Nice. Saw the Dead twice in the 70s. Both shows over 4hrs and brilliant.

[@GratefullyDead]

Let’s make Teez the king of Grateful Dead and JGB reactions. Others do like 10 reactions and quit. Send Teez your best live concert 10 minute jams please

[@kenselcer]

Feel in that moment. That's right!

[@barbarascotto3873]

Greatest group of all time.

[@pango-y8j]

Gratest 🌛⚡🌜🍄🌁🍄

[@bobschenkel7921]

Jerry is playing one of his more famous guitars, known as the "Wolf" Guitar, due to the artwork at the bottom. The beautiful young lady is Mrs. Donna Jean Godcheaux, who was married to the Piano player, Keith Godcheaux. They were in the Grateful Dead for most of the 1970's. This is "The Closing Of Winterland" concert, a New Years Eve tradition which I will be watching in it's entirety in about a week. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!!!

[@tenjed4224]

Unlike most bands with 2 drummers, Billy and Mickey played off one another. But did not hit the same drum notes a good deal of the time. They held down their own percussion section with development of the Rythym Devils (an offshoot of the Dead). They did most of the instrumental music and sounds in Apocalypse Now. They were a percussive section that aided in the development of much that is used in the world of music, today, in every spectrum - including midi exploration.

[@redrum482]

Grateful Dead. That is all.

[@patriciab825]

one of my all time fav dead tunes! This one is awesome so fun to dance to!!

That's Donna Jean Godchaux.

[@TeezMcGee]

Appreciate that 🙌

[@KCHanson100]

Let's not sleep on the fact that she had previously been a backing vocalist at Muscle Shoals singing with Elvis Presley and many other legends.

[@billc2147]

Thanks for doing more Grateful Dead! You mentioned "Fire". Fast forward 10 years to "Deal" : Grateful Dead 1989 at Alpine Valley Jerry melts the face off everyone there including the band if you watch closely. React or listen you won't be disappointed. He's at "full boil"
