Grateful Dead 5-8-77: Morning Dew: Cornell

[@oughtssought1198]

really glad this recording has the audience "noise" just hearing the audience reaction as people recognized the opening notes of this I got goose bumps from the memory of what those moments felt like back when and now tears of thanks and regret for so many whats come and gone it does matter really

[@jimmiddleton2621]

Ever been moved to tears goin down the interstate listening to this Cornell Dew? Now I can say that I have. Right from the first note and opening sequence, I felt so much tension and emotion in each phrase, leading to the massive build-up of passion and musicianship at the final crescendo, it was just overwhelming. What a song, and what a band! GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

[@johnconroy8323]

Alwxys feel that in the soul especially this Morning’s Dew Cry No, it’s my fave song ever I’ve been playing it for … hmmm awhile I need another 20 years or so to sound like kinda this , I try to do my own version of course I draw heavily from this one and that 66 show from Ontario that is very raw and lots of fuzz on Jerry’s geetar! Think it’s 66 don’t hold me to it. These aluminum kneck guitars have a wicked tone . Only if I could ever afford one or fine one OMFL

[@glyn420]

Yes actually I have.

[@planetmuse]

Rolled into work one morning, red eyed from crying. Caring co-workers immediately inquired if all was ok; hard to explain to them that I had just been listening to Morning Dew. 🤔

[@michaelhill2373]

The last song Jerry sung at my last show in April of 1995…. and we were all full of tears, joy, love, and an awareness that Jerry was sick, his voice frail at first , but my gosh he ended that song like he was roaring in our hearts…miss him so much ! See you in the resurrection Jerry… in the new world!

[@michaelhill2373]

….and this truly is one of the best jammin ‘ Rocking and incredible Dew ever….

[@elmoblatch9787]

you won't see him, Michael. Grow the fuck up.

[@donnaseftel1442]

I was there! up front between Jerry and Bobby! mesmerized. walked out into the morning snow in May!

[@J_Mc314]

Wow! I mean just wow!! This has to be one of if not the greatest version of morning dew. These guys are just unbelievable!!!

[@elmoblatch9787]

73 Oklahoma City is better

[@VeronicaHernandez-pt7bo]

Moving me to happy tears in 2021! Dead 💀 heads live forever! ❤️💀🥰🎶

[@jonmeltzer1361]

This was astounding to hear live.

[@elmoblatch9787]

I don't know...Oklahoma City 10/19/73 is my top Morning Dew...and that's the beauty of the taping culture that this band spawned.

[@j.pederzane9692]

Beyond description. An to think there are many other completely different versions that are just as good. The boys inspire risk-taking and greatness.

[@74jessjane]

1 month straight of live dead. I found heaven.

[@weLiKeoaTs]

The first time I heard this recording, the guy yelling "get it ace!" halfway through was just an annoyance..... 5 years later, it's pretty much the last anchor binding me to reality

[@terrylink53]

to me, it sounds more like he yelled "bright lights"

[@terrylink53]

reality is just dew on the face of consciousness

[@NolalanD]

he was an ace that's for sure

[@GarlTsagan]

I love on row jimmy when he's like "slide it jer, whoa oh!"

[@josephlaskowski1294]

I really loved the three ads I had to go through to listen to the entire song. Thanks KZbin.

[@zacjohnson164]

I used to feel bad about using adblock but it is just infuriating.

[@SuperJayfive]

Good Dew,. My favorite is still NYE 76/77 from the Cow Palace

[@treyfisse3230]

They study the afterlife there. This show is a precursor to whats to come

[@deadfungi1]

great Dew

[@lordchilworth]

cor but phil just blows us into hyperspace... yahooo

[@RobHollanderMusic]

If I had to pick one moment that was the Dead's most inspired and transcendent, the Cornell '77 Morning Dew would be it.

[@glyn420]

Maybe there most passionate vocal performance but not close to their most inspired or transcendent playing. Not even close.

[@elmoblatch9787]

Jerry's guitar solo on the 73 Oklahoma City Stella Blue is astounding.

[@RobHollanderMusic]

@@glyn420 I've been listening to and playing music for over half a century, have seen the Grateful Dead hundreds of times, and have written reviews for Downbeat magazine. You are straight-up mistaken.

[@glyn420]

@@RobHollanderMusic and. None of that makes your response correct. I don’t give a shit who or what you played or wrote for you are the one who is wrong.the playing isn’t remotely complex enough to be their best. There are countless other ones, dark stars, playing in the bands that destroy this playing. The Watkins glen jam destroys this playing. Again vocally transcendent but the playing they’ve done better

[@RobHollanderMusic]

@@glyn420 Well, let's agree to disagree. I was stating an opinion that is something that is subjective, and your comment implies some sort of objective reality in art - which of course doesn't exist, thus you were both ignorant and condescending at the same time. One piece of music cannot "destroy" another piece of music; even your metaphors are telling. And if "complexity" is truly your ultimate value in the playing of music, why are you listening to The Dead? If it truly was your criterion for musical performance, you'd be into jazz and classical.

[@louisviciedo]

The "Dew" of all dews...

[@jarretjordan3837]

Dew you think so? I think.theyve Dawn it better...

[@johnconroy8323]

Yes agreed until there’s another one to topper!

[@johnconroy8323]

The whole set is so intertwined it’s almost overwhelming the first few times one dives into it deeply with out the cut outs of CDs or computerized version. Find a real tape bootleg it’s a whole nother plane of sound if you’ve heard it on tape you know!!🔥💥

[@cha0tr0pic]

Agreed. People can argue over their favourite for all manner of reasons, & I know it's quite 'straight ahead', but... GOOD LORD nobody could possibly deny just hot incredible this one is. In my opinion? PEERLESS

[@Mike7478F]

Wish photos would relate to recording time line. 77 to 2003 not same! Ahh well

[@socalcde]

A f'ing commercial in the middle? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

[@tripsaplenty1227]

Kind of ironic this song about nuclear holocaust was played at a military science building.

[@michaellazarou8724]

tripsaplenty For years now, Barton Hall has been known more as a hub for intramural sports and as one of the better indoor track and field venues in upstate NY. It also happens to be a great place to see a concert and is used frequently for that purpose. However, the "military science" sign still exists on the outside of the building and I appreciate your sense of irony. :-)

[@vitazyme1]

What's more fitting?

[@philippagano3265]

Its not about a nuclear holocaust.. its the day after the RAPTURE and the unbelieving are about to face the Time Of Tribulation. Remember to keep your head up when you refuse to take the MARK

I'm not particularly a GD fan, and not at all familiar with the vast majority of their work. I've read about a "legendary" live show at Cornell being among their finest ever. Anyone better-informed than me case to share whether this was part of that show?

[@kevinpusateri5848]

some say the cornell show never happened...

[@direwolf133173]

Yes, this is the show,

[@daveyboy8907]

It was probably a acid test and recorded in a studio ...

[@idigress7865]

When i first heard this show - it was magic! And i smiled!

[@scotthilton6495]

LOOK...... All shows are different they say this is the best BUT, I think It's really up to the listener. Europe "72 far better but like i said it's up to the listener how hearing both, be up to the person. The way Jerry sang on the '72 version are far more intense and life changing, it's when i knew i was born to be a Deadhead.

[@johnconroy8323]

Believe this sounds like an actual bootleg version I had second set for a long time on tape don’t believe I’ve ever heard Ist set today my honey Er I mean until CD’s till tapers started transferring all them tapes to CD then at some point I heard part of set 1 any………….. way
