Grateful Dead - Althea (Live 03-28-81)

Germany 1981.
I told Althea I was feeling lost
Lacking in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
That my back might need protection
I told Althea that treachery
Was tearing me limb from limb
Althea told me, now cool down boy
Settle back easy, Jim
You may be Saturday's child all grown
Moving with a pinch of grace
You may be a clown in the burying ground
Or just another pretty face
You may be the fate of Ophelia
Sleeping and perchance to dream
Honest to the point of recklessness
Self-centred to the extreme
Ain't nobody messin' with you but you
Your friends are getting most concerned
Loose with the truth, maybe its your fire
Baby I hope you don't get burned
When the smoke has cleared, she said
That's what she said to me
You're gonna want a bed to lay your head
And a little sympathy
There are things you can replace
And others you cannot
The time has come to weigh those things
This space is gettin' hot
You know this space is gettin' hot
I told Althea, I'm a roving sign
That I was born to be a bachelor
Althea told me, OK that's fine
So now I'm trying to catch her
Can't talk to you without talking to me
We're guilty of the same old things
Thinking a lot about less and less
And forgetting the love we bring
Songwriters: Jerry Garcia / Robert Hunter

[@kalaskrille]

Not sure how deep you've dived so far, but Super Session by Bloomfield, Kooper & Stills is unbelivable. I think Althea is one of the greatest songs to exist, but the Dead are not really mu cup of tea. If you listen to Super Session, hopefully Albert's Shuffle (the first song) will knock you off your feet and then His Holy Modal Majesty will scoop you up again. And of course after that you will discover each individual act from Super Session, and get in to CSN (if you haven't already), etc. It's a journey my friend, and I was mos def born decades too late...

Yup! My brother had a ticket for me to see the Dead at the Knick, but I said No, because I didn't want to spend that much time with my brother. Now both my brother and Jerry are gone.

[@jamesgallagher7687]

I was 14 when he died I guess born too young to see him in his prime and really comprehend what I would’ve seen anyway but man knowing what I know about how hard it is to play a guitar with grace, his fingers dance fluidly throughout the beautiful Doug Irwin fretboard as a ballerina would dance at Julliard

Phil's bass is promenant on this one. My all time GD song. No guitar was ever tuned to sound like Jerry's it's just mesmerizing.

[@FlyGuy2000]

I was heading towards the stage on the floor of Autzen Statium as they started up this song, and Phil's melodies were as waves of velvet enveloping the entire space we were all gathered in. It was like a beckoning of the most soothing sound you have ever heard, calling and surrounding in the most heavenly way possible, verging on being visible. It was one of the most vivid experiences I have ever had, and whenever I hear this song and close my eyes it's like I am there again.

[@scotttam7491]

Phil sound is amazing on this one really one of the best bassist he gets over looked cause he not a slapper but he everything a bass player should be i love listening to this one in my buddies car cause he got subs Lol

[@eduardofernandez9799]

Phil was so underated he was always there. His bass was not to be denied. There was only one bass player that I'd call his superior and that was the other worldly Late John Entwhistle. The only bass that could play that thing line a lead. He was unbelievable IMHO. But Phil was a musical virtuoso and played competently 7 other classical concert quality instruments. He was a true musicians musician. He could have been on tour with an orchestra playing the Cello or any other number of instruments he was a master of. Yet he decided his love was with the Dead .

[@cosmicrocks138]

Was thinking.. Mam! Phil is ON ONE TONIGHT BABY ! Phil just going full fire fingers. Love it love it! Btw.. anyone else think ....that its Phil is on the LP cover of Terrapin‽ no doubt! + the restaurant Get me?

“There are things you can replace, and others you cannot. The time has come to weigh those things. This space is getting hot”. You know, this space is getting real hot! We will never have another GD or Jerry. We gotta pass it on. Don’t push, just pass. Some will get it, others will not. But for Christ’s sakes, hopefully, some will get it and keep it going.

I miss him every day. Never forget my first show. I immediately began dancing and I still remember thinking to myself, “Oh, this is what I like!” It has not changed since ‘75. Not for me.

Jerry plays more notes with his pinky than most musicians do with their hands.

[@maryvlockman]

So effortless for Jerry to bring it over and over, many try to follow but no one is Jerry, with such ease he is in a class all his own, effortless to be the best, with a band his equal, young and strong. Makes it look so easy and smooth, just like good dancers, master of all at these darn tunes. How happy we would all be if someone could really fill Jerry's shoes, but alas the Grateful Dead were a phenomena that is no more, and what we have now is sure good stuff, just not the Grateful Dead, my heart is broken forever. Happy there is something going on to carry on, but it will never be the dead, gosh they were just so well there are no words to describe the years we had them, I bet the stones fans are feeling this too right now. I am glad they have not had to feel it for a long time.

One of things that make them so great is that as magnificent as they were, Jerry and the guys made it look easy. No histrionics, no one running from edge of the stage to the other……no gimmicks, just crazy good music. They always left me with the impression that it was never about them. It was about their audience, and the family just having a good f’ing time for three or four hours.

How can ya put an ad right in the middle of Althea? C'mon man. By the way, I still really miss Jerry. My heart hurts when I think too much about it. Jerry visited me in a dream a while after he left us. It was like I was at a show but in the wilderness. We ran into each other and I said hi. He was really cool and he gave me a gift worth more than gold. A multi colored crystal that I can only assume represented my musical motivation. He made me promise to never loose it and he showed me all the colors it had. So surreal...
