[@markturner6942]

I was fixing airplanes in SE Asia that day.

1968 Jerry sideburns - the coolest fucking mutton chops EVER. Voodoonola, thanks again for your AMAZING share of vintage Dead footage. Keep it coming!

[@DrVonChilla]

The young Grateful Dead, developing the raging power that would soon come to be effortlessly transmitted.... PERFECT meld of video and audio; it actually gave me goosebumps! Study your history. Revolutionary times, my friends.....and they are soon to come again.....

[@lookslikemustard]

Miss you, Jerry...

[@images4all]

Thank you for these priceless images, which should be available forever. Excellent work. Great editing and the sound is well suited. The same images, but with Original sound - no matter what quality - would also be appreciated.

[@oscargritowski212]

Very underrated song. Love it.

[@dandelpha2043]

Solidarity to the protestors at Columbia in 2024.

[@marmaladesky]

oh my god that was so cool kudos to the cameraman and the editing beautiful,so awesome

[@JimiG54]

Still you are lucky benji. I got to see him for 3 years of shows until he got sick and stayed home. About nine or so times total. Wish I could have seen more!

[@adirondacktrekking1972]

That was awesome ,thank you for that time capsule

[@tagarran69]

This is some sweet video! Voodoonola, you continue to amaze me, very nice!

[@JimiG54]

That park show was 1975. I was there. I was also at the Winterland 74 "Last" show when Mickey returned into the fold toward the end of a week long run. At the time they were not sure if they would ever tour again. Believe it or not!

[@eminem13001]

Thanks for posting this I love this footage police fighting with the crowd at a dead show cause they don’t like the dead there

[@donaldgehre5964]

One of the many benefits the Dead did during their career. This show took place during the student strike at Columbia University.

[@portlandpaul656]

So historical to see the police and the national guard there at the sit in at Columbia U. Nice to see the crowd in a groove with the music.

[@damnright4]

Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing.

[@dprimetime69]

dank

[@utapah]

wow

[@jamesnich99]

crap. KZbin would'nt let my post go thru. 'Error, try again'. And here I was, about to say something nice about Police and authority figures. about the vid footage, what odd, shuddering imagery. Just raw fear, that only 60's footage can capture.

[@MichaelHoltMcGregor]

the drop is at 5:21 and its a treat

[@JeffSmith-nh]

Wow. That's an incredible video. The facial expressions in the band and the crowd are so interesting. ...

[@KurtKnutsen]

thanks from a dead head!

[@MichaelHoltMcGregor]

3:55 is when it turns on.

[@johnnybongshow5257]

right at the end it looked like joey ramone at 15 ha ha

[@WhyYouJam]

I just saw pigpen at the end...

[@WhyYouJam]

Very cool video, but its labeled '68, there doesn't seem to be pigpen around, & Mickey is there... Do you know if the date is accurate? That being said (asked) awesome video, thanks for posting

[@jamesnich99]

Since it's working, I might as well say it: Pidgeon-Vison...at 5:40 sec in

[@jacobweinstein6711]

Does anyone know who that black student is that's getting pushed around in aviators at 0:53? Thanks!

[@mrdankjank]

How in gods name would anyone know that

[@1947pauzul]

His name is Woody Lewis

[@1947pauzul]

There are people I know who were there, they can name a lot of the those who were there, they were going to college with them!

[@jacobweinstein6711]

thanks paul! i had to know for a history project, however forgot the context. also fuck you noah gaby you got proven wrong

[@38awarner]

Look, I love The Dead more than life itself, but I don't see the point posting any old open-air movie-clips of the band (of which there are hundreds) overdubbed with audio from indoor concerts from the Carousel or the Fillmore - even if they date from the same time. The editors have made a brave stab at synchronising fleeting moments of instrument and performer, but these are at best pastiches. Don't get me wrong; if you like this sort of thing be my guest, but there are plenty of videos of 'real' gigs out there to enjoy, and to post this as "The Dead at Columbia University on 5/3/68" is downright misleading. It may be what you're seeing, but it isn't what you're hearing.

[@voodoonola]

It tells a story. All the non-GD footage is in chronological order.

[@theupsetterer5126]

I love this historical document of that happening, that theatre of radical consciousness, that expression of solidarity in the transracial, transsexual Hip movement, the crossroad whereat the acidhead dropouts meet and merge with Leftist radicals. We always wore a sense of history. This shit is important. Besides, to see that little boy play air-stick guitar makes this worth anyone's while of time. Thank you voodoonola/New Potato Caboose.

[@PSYCHOLOGYZOOM]

The Dead are ok if you want to get on the bus but Johnny Rebel is much better southern rock here on youtube.

[@douglasnorris109]

Some so called LIVE recordings put out by the GD had instruments added, vocals changed, recording sped up, etc. I don't think the dead would have a problem with this. Far from it.

[@crimsonwolf9099]

Adrian, I agree 110%!!! It is disingenuous at best and deceitful at worst.

[@JimiG54]

Yeah it's 68. Pig was there, just not in the footage.

[@slosh77]

you can see pigpen at 2:55

[@maxcohen13]

There really is nothing worse than a hippie.

[@crimsonwolf9099]

A Republican is far worse!!
