Grateful Dead 4-9-67 Panhandle, Golden Gate Park

[@funshine817]

I was very late getting on the bus. 1989 was my first concert. Blew my socks off! 😁 I miss The Grateful Dead, my fave band of all time. Jerry's guitar playing resonated with the very essence/core of my being like no other musician has ever done. There is just something so magical, beautiful, incredible in his playing that is as rare as it gets. I miss the 60's-80's...great times. The 90's up to 1995 was decent, as well. 2000's on, each year has gotten worse and worse, unless, I suppose, you were a kid then. I think the fondest times, for most people, are our childhood and through our 20's. Today's world, I just don't like all that much. Sigh.

[@lorenzo6mm]

Love these 1960's clips of the Dead. Especially SF and the fusion of Jazz, Rock, Blues and Motown and psychedelic rock. The Beginnings in the streets & Parks was magical.

[@TheProfessorpat]

I was there that day...still remember vividly how windy it was.... the dancing branches of the trees...first time I'd ever dropped mescaline....

Not bad historical video either. Those must've been Mighty High Times!

[@absolutelypositively]

@@Born_Into_This interesting! From an historical standpoint on 11/1/85 these fellas (minus Pig n Mickey) played ‘Dancin’ and ‘High Time’ in what many (myself included) consider to be the best show of that year. ✌️

Thank you voodoonola!!!! I have been trying to find this for literally YEARS. Thanks again for coming thru with the golden goods!

[@carlrudd1858]

Now..finally...a good clip of the GD I remember. Amazingly, Jerry and Phil are singing great harmonies ALMOST on pitch. Good groove going with this song. Guitar solo was a bit raggity, but that's OK. They had this one nailed and they laid it down. Two blocks from my place on Cole Street, btw...

[@WigWagWorkshop]

It's amazing even back then, at such a young age how talented they were on their instruments, especially Phil Lesh. I know it's a known fact that Bobby was not exactly a great musician at the time, but together the music sounded great.

Phil was playing bass maybe 2 years.

[@randyking3057]

Where's Pigpen?

[@nathelm]

I'm curious. I don't think the the Grateful Dead would exist without Bob Weir, let's get that out of the way. But was he a very good musician? I saw Garcia in an interview and he talked about how Weir could play a chord ten different ways and I kind of thought he was being sarcastic. I also heard stories where the sound guys would turn his volume down. Just curious, but trust me, I will always love the Grateful Dead (not to be confused with dead and company).

[@jonkiparsky7369]

I think Weir has always approached music, and his role in a band, at an odd angle to everyone else. He's never been a "rhythm guitarist" in anything like the normal sense, banging the chords on the beats. I think it's not because he's "not a good musician", I think it's just the opposite - he knows exactly where everything is at any moment, and he assumes everyone else is in the same place, so he's about putting some harmonic color on it, making it interesting. What I always loved about hearing the Dead was that when they were firing on all cylinders you could hear the chords happening even though nobody was actually playing them, and I think Bob was always instrumental to that. Even when it sounded like he was just whanging on some arbitrary dyad, it always turned out that that was exactly the dissonance that was going to set up the big resolve that you were waiting for. Always thinking a couple of moves ahead.

[@nataliezementbeisser1492]

Bob had to bring surprises to Jerry. And how can anyone do that in music? I mean it's Captain Trips. You can't follow that kind of magic. You have to be magic! So that's what happened to Bob.

[@oughtssought1198]

so was it CBS or SFPD you cut a deal with to get this footage?

[@cynthiasummers8238]

CBS. They used this footage in the infamous The Hippie Temptation. Conspicuous in her absence and in THT is a blonde with flowers painted on her face. That was me. The clip was taken ( against my permission ) from a Country Joe and the Fish concert on the 14th. However, I made it to at least 4 Dead shows that June 1 Tompkins Square Park, Central Park June 8, both in NYC. I'm in that footage. I was at Elysian Park in Los Angeles ( on stage during the Airplane ) Sept 16. And my favorite concert of all time, Winterland San Francisco October 22. Some great times and great memories!!!!

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

pretty darn early :) if u were there , u are cool

[@beachdog67]

I honestly have NO idea if I was there that day or not. I was there on many days much like this day, but honestly? Nobody *I* knew was keeping track of dates.

[@dantean]

Went to a bunch of shows in New York roughly in the mid-to-late 70s and always felt the dancers should have their own space. Off somewhere where no one had to look at it. I may have turned to stone once or twice accidently catching the odd inadvertent glimpse.

[@GlobalTubeTruth]

tjw3999 The parry is over. Time to grow up. Can you handle the truth at your age, or are you still busy polluting yourself, and spinning in circles, like some wannabe hippie clown. I'll bet you're a blast on the unemployment line.

[@tjw3999]

GlobalTubeTruth time for you to get over your utterly stupid conspiracy theories . and i ve never collected unemployment in my life how bout you ? or are you just a rich piece of shit..i bet your voting for donald trump like the rest of the right wing nut jobs. go back to your alex jones channel and live in your own fantasy world and leave dead heads alone

[@GlobalTubeTruth]

tjw3999 Mk-Ultra is a fact, not a theory. Have you ever used a dictionary, or an encyclopedia?? Maybe try looking something up first, to see if it's true or not, before you dismiss, ridicule, or doubt. That's just pure ignorance, by anyone's definition. LOL!! You've never collected unemployment because you've never had a job, loser!! Selling mushroom chocolates in a Grateful Dead parking lot 25 years ago doesn't qualify you for unemployment. Or did the GD set up a special charity fund for that?? So funny when you say "I'll bet you're voting for Donald Trump". Ironic, when the man owns so many casinos. It's also amusing that because I write a short comment about the GD, you automatically jump to political conclusions. Good toy know you're not the prejudicial type. You're not any kin of Deadhead, you fuckin' weak, fake, wannabe hippie, loser. Nothing I'm saying comes from Alex Jones. In fact, Alex Jones is another one of these political provocateurs that should never be trusted, and I tell people that all the time, so I guess you better try to pull another bullshit theory about me out of your ass. You don't even know what "Right Wing" means. If you did, you might be more critical of Bob Weir being a member of the Bohemian Grove. If you've got such a stick up your ass about wealthy people, how do you justify that bullshit?? Huh?? Speak up asshole!! Phil Lesh is the biggest snob going. You wouldn't know because you know nothing about him, and you've never met him, or even been to any of his shows. You're a fake, newcomer, that has very little clue what the scene is really all about. Tell me, what was your first GD show?? You don't know shit kid, but you better wise up because you're obviously still on the hook. Like I said, it's time to grow up, and stop living in your hippie fantasy world of nostalgic dreams of Haight Ashbury, and the Merry Pranksters. Get over it. The whole thing was a CIA scam. Go read Acid Dreams. You're in for a huge awakening.

[@tjw3999]
