Grateful Dead 1965-11-03 with lightshow

[@georgestevens1502]

Pigpen's harp work stands out. So underrated as a blues musician

[@greaseballinthesouth]

Agreed

[@pembrokejones3969]

I was too young to see them in this era- my first show was Munich 81. My folks who were pretty hip( my dad was a huge aDylan fan/ mom loved the Beatles) had the first dead album. I loved American Beauty and Workingmans and ended up seeing them about 30 times total til like 93 when it started to seem impossible to get tickets and the scene got too weird… Recently I starred listening to GD after finding a box of my bootleg tapes at my folks house- I had a friend who was a big trader so I had some sweet boots. But Finding all these shows from 66 and 67 has been so great and I think this early stuff is fantastic. Im blown away by the quality of the recordings considering it was in the infancy of electronic equipment. This video is terrific- great visuals to go along with great music. Im grateful to all involved-thanks!

It is so grand to get a tape I never did yet hear.😊

It's ALL about the recordings made with Pig for me.

[@nankypooh655]

Just scratching the surface, but great songs!

[@georgebethos7890]

So if the Dead released an album in late 65/early 66 this is what it would have sounded like. It compares favorably with any band from that period 💀☠️👻👺👹🙀

[@hobgoblin6659]

Only better.

[@RustyB22]

They are a bar band at this point. This is right when Owsley and Kesey were getting involved

[@russcohen3779]

Love love love love ❤❤❤❤

[@scottsee2468]

Totally, unbelievably groovy!!

[@thomasbaumgartner4801]

Totally unique early teenage rock n roll from the 60s. My favorite time in music and the best...the Warlocks !

[@hashburystumble6021]

Love that "Rider" & probably my fave version of "Early Morning Rain". I can hear the way to '72 from here.

[@TheTrippersMindTrip]

Pure and Powerful Sorcery of the young Dead Boys... Beautiful WARLoCks ✌️🌹 Ol' Pigpen was already a badass on the Harp

[@hobgoblin6659]

Such beauty and 'magic', thank you.

[@jimmymurphy7789]

1. I just love these old Warlocks studio recordings. Great Collage/Light Show - TY. 2. I wonder why Ed Sullivan never picked these guys up on his Show - would have been a great answer to the Beatles & the Stones. 3. Bouncer at the "Divorcée" Club in Palo Alto to the Warlocks as they were packing up after their last night there : "You guys will never Make It - you're Too Weird." Haw 🤠 !

[@egreenbery]

Thanks for the great comment! In my mind, I was thinking of Ed Sullivan standing there really stiff and saying " and now, right here on our stage.......all the way from San Francisco......the weird druggie hippie band..... the Grateful Dead ! "

[@egreenbery]

And on your point #3, wasn't it Magoo's Pizza Parlor ?

[@jackdepalma]

The ed Sullivan show was not for them. I think after the airplane were on the big shew the dead said not for us. I was not aware that they were asked, but the dead got burned again and again. Altamont, Woodstock, and other festival shows that did not go so well. Montery 67? So no Ed Sullivan for them. The Doors fought it. The dead got busted in NoLa so write another song.

[@jodycleveland9780]

Thanks..I really like the Warlocks. I only heard of them until i listened to this great collection. Love the Pig.

[@danielmartinez3889]

I won a radio contest for an excellent early complete collection up until Europe 72 loved them ever since

[@trips4477]

Absolutely Beautiful !!!

REALLY EARLY PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC. LOVE IT. 13th Floor Elevators were just starting at about the same time (late '65) doing shows in little ol' Austin Texas, then later in mid '66 they realeased their first record, with those songs "THE PSYCHELIC SOUNDS OF THE 13 FLOOR ELEVATORS". Who was first THE GRATEFUL DEAD OR ELEBATORS? ? Who knows. DOESN'T REALLY MATTER DOES IT? I think it was kind of simultaneous.

[@indigohippo82]

Lovin the slideshow and visuals

[@Awesomehippie16]

Groovy!

Both great and sad to hear Pigpen singing in 1965 " I won't get drunk no more " .

Better than anything the dead put out in later years when they went full blues rock

[@fabric-chasingsun3478]

Note to Vincent Villalpando.. Check out Mindbender at 3:05 for idea for "Separate My Soul" in Fabric Dos

[@thenazarite2444]

It's so happy ❤🍄🌞💐

[@roygoad2870]

This is almost as good as Tobacco Road, The Nashville Teens and She’s Not There by The Zombies, the other great records a year or so before these recordings, apart from the Beatles, Stones, Who, Yardbirds and Kinks of course!

[@belliose]

These guys were pretty good.

[@hazelmoore4754]

I have heard this several times over the years and it never ceases to amaze how this does not sound anything like the Dead.. even like a year later or less they sound totally different..this sounds like early 60s surf/gogo music with a touch of mid 60s pop psychedelic..and it's tight too..the only tune thats sounds anything like them is caution cause of pigs rap..and i guess i know you rider but even that sounds like a pop 60s version...lol..so weird how quik they changed..and who wrote these songs like can't come down and confusion prince? 🤓🤠

Im not sure about mindbender but jerry wrote cant come down on his own☮️✌️

[@patrickreilly7256]

When the dead came to SoCal to make it big but failed they did learn some new tricks, like nicking the Seeds, Doors and Rascals sounds.

[@funshine817]

That is not true.

[@lamadawa3645]

course that's Jer on vocals... his voice sounds a bit younger- cuz he's only 23 yrs old there....

Nice nice nice perfect perfect he sounds perfect.

Is that Pigpen on piano on "Taste us"? Because if it is, I don't know why they got all those piano players and relegated Pig to congas.

Boring, like many songs of that exact moment and style. About as bad as the Dave Clark 5.

[@sandsoftime1954]

I don't know if it's boring or not. With that said I'll move to the next part. The Dave Clark Five was the bottom of the barrel of that whole English invasion thing. And people bought their crappy music including my own sister. He couldn't sing and they couldn't play Just a lot of noise Thx for posting Lanier

@@dalegamburg8995 Well Dale, I got to tell you, I don't know where my head was at four years. Either the medicine wasn't working too well at the time, or it was really great. I can't remember. Let me recapitulate that, four years later. A lot of people liked the D.C.5 at the time. They had big hits "Because" and "Catch us if you can". My friend at the time had a cherry red 54' Lincoln Coupe with Catch us if you can, painted on the back bumper. He got lots of attention with that. I thought they were pretty mundane and lousy, that's not what I called Rn'R. However, different stokes for different folks and wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same.
