Grateful Dead - Black-Throated Wind (Washington, DC 6/14/91)

"From Bob's first solo record, Ace, Black-Throated Wind was consistently in the setlist 1972-1974, but disappeared when the Dead returned after the hiatus in 1976. Thankfully, on 3/16/90 at the Capital Center in Landover, MD, this Weir-Barlow classic returned, and was right through the final tour in 1995." - David Lemieux

Thank you

[@chadschott7175]

Hey David! Buckeye Lake 93 is an incredible 90’s show with one of the best foolish heart jams and Eyes of the worlds for that period in my opinion. A stellar performance by the band that evening. I’m sure you have heard it all but please give that show a listen. I would love a remastered video or cd of that night! I’m sure the 100k people that were at that show would as well. Thanks friend for sharing the music!

[@jackstraw46]

The good old days. Thanks.

[@noogie3784]

I came here for Phil.

[@ryanmoore2779]

Great History lesson I love it ! Thank you

[@777jones]

In many ways this is Bobby’s masterpiece

[@jessicamullaney4742]

I totally agree...iconic

[@jeffp4535]

Definitely my favorite Bobby tune.

[@maybeioverreacted4504]

I love this tune!

[@gilkaneer]

Totally agree this and weather report

[@bretfoley424]

This and the Weather Report Suite, yes

[@steveanderson2494]

Great video. Funny moment at 1:50 where Jerry hits an off note and Bob reacts. lol

[@timp9560]

we all hit a bum note from time to time :) I always preferred this one from Ace to Looks Like Rain.

[@zac9311]

Hapened just as i was reading tht lol

[@gordon-hensley]

thats perfect... then a wincing, fleeting bob smile

[@stuartmcgill6800]

My favorite Bob song touches my SOUL

[@GhostfaceKiller_93]

Bobby's reaction to Jerry messing up note at 1:50 got me dying over here LMFAO !!!!!! THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED !!!!!!!! 💀⚡✌🏼❤😁🎶☀🌷🌈🙏

[@TheQueueCumber]

Good catch. Apparently Jerry was usually the more critical one.

[@lisica8458]

Thank god for Hornsby; his contributions returned the band to something reminiscent of the early 1970s.

[@gordon-hensley]

jerry's really got his end-game soloing goin' on here... hot, tight playing -- and noted below at 1:50 where jerry hits an off-note and bob winces... perfect.

[@thomaspaine5442]

Bobby's reaction to Jerry's bum note at 1:51 is why I love this band and will always love this band.

[@allenerdman8529]

" You ain't gonna learn what you dont wanna know" so true so true so glad there is so much recordings for a younger fan to enjoy and learn from !!

[@jessicamullaney4742]

Damn right...

[@vivalapsych]

This song along with “Loser” were the two songs that really got me on the bus late. I was blown away. “How did I not know these?” I thought. Better late than never.

[@RobertViani]

I got on the bus at Highgate in 95’. Just glad to have caught them live. And later a good number of Further &Rat dog shows.

[@vivalapsych]

If I recall it was as this show about 100 degrees out cooking down on the floor / feild. But what a night it was.

[@RobertViani]

Lovely song all around. ❤

[@bobschenkel7921]

Yup, I was there, this was the show where Dwight Yokum opened up, very different. Love the look on Bob's face about 1:55 when Jerry hits an "odd" note he wasn't expecting. Startled surprise is about the best description I can give. It's all good though. Happy I was there.

[@heatherdawn13]

I love Jerry’s hair blowing in the wind 💜

[@josephgrumet]

What’s to found racing around You carry your pain wherever you go.... No that’s some Buddhist yogananda heavy heavy stuff so true! Who needs school or the classics everything a person needs to learn about life is in the words and music of the Grateful Dead!!!! Like Mozart for babies makes babies smarter it’s been proven same is true with Grateful Dead music raises your vibration and fires neurons in your brain to make you well, smarter

[@timothyryan6018]

Ah the memories that coming flooding in watching this Vid.. One of Bobbys best tunes, played to perfection. Great stuff.

[@kuau714]

Timothy Ryan Couldn’t agree more though to me not one of the better performances. Jerry almost seemed like he forgot how to play his part... Oh well either way this has always been one of Weir’s best and also Weather Report Suite.

[@kerryc.7438]

I was at one of these in DC, we came from jersey, I lost the friend I was with , couldn’t find him and left him there 😂and went back home without him! I tripping out, and got paranoid after the show when the crowd was thinning out and wanted to get out of there , there was a ton of cops ! No cell phones! Needless to say I don’t remember how I drove home by myself and I don’t remember how he got home but he was pissed ! It was a couple of months b4 we talked again! Sorry mike if you read this!

[@renegade44040]

I am feeling a bit nostalgic for those days on tour traveling to the next city, the next show and being part of a vibe way out past the conventional state of mind.

I was at this show!! Great memories.

[@ryanmoore2779]

I love Jerry! Sun beams shining through his Hair appearing not to have a care!

[@TheQueueCumber]

This was without a doubt one of the better shows I saw. For those on psychadelics, the magnetic connection was SUPER strong that night.... We co-created musical reality for awhile together.

[@RobertViani]

Love.

[@comatoast3931]

Bringing me down I'm running aground Blind in the light of the interstate cars Passing me by The buses and semis Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars But I'm here by the road Bound to the load That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in With its words of a life where nothing is new Ah, Mother American Night, I'm lost from the light Oh, I'm drowning in you I left St. Louis, the City of Blues In the midst of a storm I'd rather forget I tried to pretend it came to an end 'Cause you weren't the woman I thought I once met But I can't deny that times have gone by When I never had doubts or thoughts of regret And I was a man when all this began Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in And it speaks of a life that passes like dew It's forced me to see that you've done better by me Better by me than I've done by you What's to be found, racing around You carry your pain wherever you go Full of the blues and trying to lose You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies Please help them to learn as well as to see Capture a glance and make it a dance Of looking at you looking at me The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in With its words of a lie that could almost be true Ah, Mother American Night, here comes the light I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do Goin' back home that's what I'm gonna do Turnin' around That's what I'm gonna do 'Cause you've done better by me Than I've done by you

[@MuhammadAliInTheRing]

Congratulations on your win. Apparently I might have throat cancer, and that is why when they tackled me, strapped me down and tranquilized me 6 months ago- my voice was also completely gone for three days. Too bad they could have caught it then but oh well. I can never fly into the big city ever again. See after I tried to move to a number of different affordable countries, LAX, JFK, and Seatac- they drugged me for flying into Billings for a doctors appointment but then I got stranded at the airport overnight and after the police took me to the homeless shelter, they then took me to the ER for saying, "I'm not homeless" over and over again. I was homeless for years before I moved to Montana and bought my own house you know. God is so great to me, isn't it? But yes, you get the last laugh. And the best medical care in the world at the time unlike my house that I just huffed radon in the last 4 months because the mitigation system was frozen. I also broke my right hand when they refused me water then slammed a big metal door in my face, and it healed wrong they tell me at the clinic in the next town 50 miles away. I tried to get seen at this clinic when I finally admitted to myself it was broken and got over my fear of them seizing and drugging me- but they said they couldn't see me for month and a half so I taped it up with a Sam splint. But that's certainly obe way to make a person's worst nightmares come true as well as deny any medical assistance for anything. I do hope this nightmare and your curse, your jinx, your hex upon my life ends soon. Thanks again to Jerry and Vince for staring so hard and stalking me right before God started talking to me!!! What a long strange trip its been!

[@AMSOLO420]

Holy sheep crap. I'm not saying you're nuts.... but, I'm not saying you arent either! Holy COW! Are you blaming this all on the Dead?

It's a great, great, song....on Ace! This is all a bit strained. Poor old Vince....why did they ever hire him? He seems like a spare part at a wedding. A book I recently read claimed he was turned away from a reunion in 2002, hastening his depression. Hope someone explained their reasoning to him personally. Very sad.

My throat still isn't right so maybe I really do have throat cancer!! Won't it be great when I can no longer scream? I'm sure the police, the hospitals and my neighbors will be so relieved when my voice is silenced. And I will too. I am tired of screaming all my life for help. I am tired of screaming how much I hate this place. I am so tired.
