Totally with you on that bro ! I want to chime in here just in case you’re not aware of something I learned about Robert when I read his Wikipedia file: the man was born “Robert Burns” and his name became Hunter when his Mom remarried. So, it’s apparently factual that he was the great-great grandson of the famous Scottish poet/ lyricist Robert Burns, mostly known to Americans as the writer of “Auld Lang Syne”, but known to the Scots as a giant figure in their history for his prolific poetry and lyricism. He was said to be “ a pioneer of the Romantic movement”. What a lineage man, it’s no wonder he was born gifted !

I'm glad you picked one from this era - '87-90. They nailed down the tech to move their live sound further. The tunes evolved. Jerry learned to use his unconventional voice to put a different level of emotion into the songs. Brent was still around and Phil was more of a monster than ever.
@jamesbailey99773 жыл бұрын
A lot of people believe Robert Hunter wrote this song about Jerry and his demons. Really great song. Edit: I understand this wasn't Robert Hunter's intention, but like most Grateful Dead songs, the lyrics can take on different meanings and teach different lessons - depending on the context of the show, the context of the audience/listener, or in the context of the folks on stage. That's what makes Hunter so great. Just wish Jerry could've interpreted it this way.

@JamesConley12343 жыл бұрын
There are a lot of levels to this song and like many by Robert open to interpretation. I'm in the process of reading a few Dead books, including "Dark Star" by Robert Greenfield which compiles interviews of a lot of people who were close to him, it gives a lot of insight into the dark periods of his life. A lot of people were trying to reach out and help him and he had a bad habit of avoiding emotional confrontations. By doing so he shut out a lot of loving people and burned many bridges. Althea may represent heroin. Jerry was born on Saturday, August 1st, giving a little bit of insight into "Saturday's child". By "being a bachelor" it was almost a direct reference to how he would shut people out and just wanted to be alone. There were times he would marry someone or have a kid but was often checked out emotionally and physically. By "trying to catch her", he was chasing highs in all the wrong ways, often "self-centered to the extreme". The references to fire even get deeper considering he used to smoke the stuff. If you think of the song in the terms of it coming direct from Hunter, there are definitely messages in there from friends who were "most concerned", and by reading the book it was pretty sad how he often "forgot the love he brings". He had a lot of health scares, especially in the 90's, but right after he died, Mickey was asked how he felt about Jerry's death.. He was quoted as saying "I guess I don't have to wait for the call anymore" or something to that effect. I love Jerry so much. His struggles were just so human, and showed how he suffered from the same things a lot of us do, despite being a true shining light to so many millions of people. May he rest in peace

The last great era of Grateful Dead - 89-90 was sublime. Up until Brent Mydland's untimely death that summer :(. When I listen to GD music these days I stick to 69-74 mostly, but also 1990 era; that's what hooked me as a better-late-than-never 'Touch Head' - like so many of us seeing Touch of Grey on MTV. @Jamel man you don't know how much positivity your reactions bring brother, it refreshes this great canon of music again and for that, we thank you.
@classicrockfan49063 жыл бұрын
Jamel, you "got it" about this song. It is one of the greatest songs of all time, both lyrically and musically. Lyrically, Robert Hunter is a genius. He is the main Dead lyricist. He is a poet in the first degree. Ophelia is a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet and her committing suicide. That is what he means by "Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered to the extreme". Althea is probably the narrator speaking to himself, as you picked up on. It's almost like he's looking at his alter-ego. Musically, the song is in A major, starts on B minor, and goes between B Dorian, E Mixolydian, and A major tonal centers. You are absolutely right that the Dead do a great job making the lyrics play out in the music. I'm so glad you saw the same greatness in this song.

As I have said many times the fortuitous meeting of Garcia and Hunter can be best described by paraphrasing Steely Dan’s ode to Bear, “Kid Charlemagne”. Just by chance they crossed a diamond with a pearl, then they turned it on the world and turned my world around.

I came to say the same thing. @Jamel - One of the many unique things about this band is that Robert Hunter, who played with Jerry early on in a Bluegrass before the Dead band wrote almost all the lyrics for the songs Jerry sings. And...all the songs Bobby sings were written by John Perry Barlow.

@@dowtish1 glad you see it. Hope Jamel realizes it. Jer and Bob did write their music. You know that tho just said it as ‘sang it,’. I guess I’m just another picky deadhead (like the old bumper sticker said). Peace be with you Chris D. Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️🎸

This is my Grateful Dead gateway song. I fell in love and never turned back! Shut out for most I could have seen, always calling them- when I did get in it required being given a crystal which i always left behind inside gifting it to another. Thank you so much for sharing this delight with the you tube world!!!! 🤩⭐️💫🤩❤️💓❤️

We knew the video tapers were out their. They allowed audio taping but video was forbidden! Come the 2000' s and we can marry the two together. Jerry the melody man.

Robert Hunter denied that he wrote the song about Jerry's decline in heath and such... but it fits so perfectly.

The song was written in 76, I think? Jerry was still pretty strong at this point - even if he was well into the H by then.

My daughter's middle name is Althea - and, yes, she's named after the song. That's how beautiful I always thought that this song was.

Oh my, brother Jamel! I've been watching your musical journey for over a year and I've got to say it's amazing how open you've been to new/old sounds. Most older music is a blend of so many different styles and influences where colour is an emotion, not a skin tone. Music knows no colour! Rock 'n' Roll itself is an amalgam of black R&B/Jump Blues and white Country and the result is an acceptance that we are all equals. Great bands, like the Grateful Dead, added Folk to the mix and created a sound that transcends all. The members of the Dead are such accomplished musicians and writers that their music went far beyond the band's Psychedelic roots in much the same way that The Clash went far beyond their Punk roots with their blend of Rock, Folk and Reggae. Like The Clash, The Grateful Dead's greatest asset was their songwriting and the ability to put words into emotions without taking it too far into the obvious. As I taught my sons from birth, love what music you will, but be open to it all or you miss so much. Peace, brother. Take care and stay safe!
