Grateful Dead - Casey Jones 1971

Fillmore Last Days
Looks like audio is slightly off

[@voice_from_pizza]

For all the people who “don’t like the Dead” well, this tune throws a wrench in your wheel. Fantastic song.

[@billymitchell158]

thank god we have this band :) rip jerry 1942-1995.

[@erichanhauser3190]

As a tape collector from the 80s, always searching for the magic....You Tube blows my mind.

[@headbanger9549]

Eric Hanhauser isn't it amazing that shit from 45 fifty years ago is still popping up and seeing the light of day

[@bubbagump6934]

You Tube is the AM radio station of the 1960s. The last place where everybody can find something.

[@frankpicasso]

Great bass work from Phil!

[@rdahlem86]

Bobby's sound here is awesome. He's playing a lot of the cool fills from what I can gather based on Jerry's tone vs Bobby's.

[@StationOfTerrapin]

QUALITY QUAITY QUALITY QUALITY THESE ARE THE HITS MAN THESE ARE THE CLASSICS THIS IS WHAT COUNTS OH YEAH BABY THATS HOT JAZZ!

[@DeputyChief63]

Just discovered this. I would pay to be able to go back to this show

[@24Korova]

Holy shit I found gold!!

[@brendagilbert8996]

MY favorite one of their songs.

[@johnlayden1463]

I wish I went to a dead concert in the70s.

[@StationOfTerrapin]

Make a new band and have the same philosophy! I recommend the book Deal by Bill Kreutzmann you all would dig it

[@Thadmotor1044]

I went to about 40

[@jakollee]

The build up at the end of this song, when they’re repeating the chorus, is one of my favorite moments, you can hear the damn train picking up steam!

[@petermorris9818]

That very thing made me appreciate this lot for the first time all those years ago. I still have this on vinyl.

[@tylercoogan1870]

69 comments: this is #70. Live music is my only God. Thank you pure joy. As a kid/younger me I couldn’t relate to this band. Until I saw them live in 92. Omg so late to the party. Saw gd 6 times , saw JGB 7 times. Thank goodness. 2 rules: don’t litter/ don’t lie. Thanks for posting

[@Philinleshed]

Is it just me or does Jerry look like he's seriously enjoying himself 😂

[@smokesomebuddah420]

this makes me smile smile smile

[@davidmiranda7937]

I used to ask my ex to dance when this song came on the juke in the bar. And I'll be damned if she didn't dance just like the girl in this video. First time i saw this video

[@ERICMTHOMPSON]

Actually, watching this portion of Last Days of the Fillmore in '74 was my introduction to GD. I was hooked then, and still am. The quintessential GD performance.

[@swampwitch6133]

My older brother and his best friend used to listen to Grateful Dead in the basement and get stoned. I started hanging out with them and they got me stoned and introduced me to The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd and the music of the late 60's early 70's. Even though he was killed in a head on collusion 20+ years ago I can't listen to the Grateful Dead and not be thankful he introduced me to this music.. Thank you Jim and Mike I will never forget you teaching me about what GREAT music is.. and I am Grateful for that.. SIgned Forever a DeadHead!

[@casecowboy20]

Brings honor to my name

[@wtangodelta1715]

Great post! Thanks a million!

[@hammer44head]

Though i love the Dead from the 69 - 74 time frame the best, especially Pig's squealing R & B numbers, i could never understand how Phil (the geekiest white dude, who looked like he should have a pen filled holder in his shirt pocket) always got such funky dance bass lines?? The chicks dancing like the Family Dog footage not the twirling dancers like this one and later, but real funky dancing to that great rhythm section of the Dead's? Oh well, i guess why question and go with it, have been doing that for 45 years listening and watching em.

[@Dawnmariegrasso]

i love it love

[@Chrisholmes1976]

I don't know why this song is so addictive I can't get enough of it it's like being Casey Jones high on cocaine

[@InTimeBeerReview]

Oh hell yeah!

[@kcat0866]

yes a wonderful present to open

[@benhill144]

pure gold

[@leewolfson6108]

I was there! The dancer came down into the audience...Stood right next to me!

[@royalclipper5382]

Who is the dancer ?

[@Karl_Squell]

S I M P

[@bstill6457]

Turn it all the way up

[@caseyjones6195]

watch your speed, watch your speed, watch your speed, that's all I ever hear

[@thegoldengrundle9663]

That's funny, my real name is Casey Jones also. I was named after this song, my folks were old-ass hippies from the 60's & all I ever hear is ""Drivin' that train..."" nobody ever wants to finish the line. Go ahead! Say it!!!! ""High on COCAINE"" so what?

[@joel46n24]

Insanity at its best

[@danedgington9306]

Casey Jones if you don't like it don't listen it's a no brainier. Genius

[@swampwitch6133]

@@thegoldengrundle9663 hahaha they afraid you might break out them bumps ;)

[@Karl_Squell]

@@thegoldengrundle9663 Nobody wants to finish that line? If it's about speed, I can understand.. but cocaine.. you take what you're offered!

kickass

Trouble ahead. The lady in red was getting down. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣

[@davidfreeman7455]

Only in the 1970s could you make a song about cocaine

[@adamcoats1768]

Johnny cash- cocaine blues 1968. Snowblind- styx-1981. Coke babies- radiohead-1993. The cocaine makes me feel like I'm on this song. System of a down-2005. Can't feel my face- the weekend 2015. And there's more than I can mention for this decade.

[@user-uz9lq8zy4d]

Ya I'm so

[@wailinburnin]

GREAT Posting!

[@RossDuClair]

I might have been there also. I remember the dancer. Do you recall anything else from that concert? I might have seen that show.

[@Hughes17]

Interesting how the percussion starts strong, well before the intensity from the bass and guitar picks up

[@johnwilliams5651]

what guitar jerry was playing? looks kinda like a travis

[@Aenima308]

Looks like a les Paul doublecut

[@MikeEye44]

Yeah a LP double...which until I saw this vid, had no idea he ever gigged with. This must have been a random guitar just before he started playing the Alligator strat.

[@olliepops1124]

It's a Les Paul jr. He only played it April of 1971. After the SG, but just before a Turner Custom.

[@claudiopapasergio6815]

Guidate il treno con prudenza mi raccomando. Ahhahh

[@elmoresam5173]

21 dislikes ! What the Hell

[@swampwitch6133]

I agree how the FUCK could anyone dislike Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead?

[@adamcoats1768]

This is one of my favorite clips ever. They're probably pissed off still about their dad leaving for cigarettes never to return

[@TomAtchleySrA]

@USgovernmentLies no

[@renan.songs.]

More! where the fuck is the full concert?

[@justinj1zalientoxic]

No cue just telepathy that really happens when you play in a good band for a few years you know exactly what they are going to do at anytime

[@PeytonCappitelli]

Bullshit

[@davidfreeman7455]

Before the political correct generation you couldn't make this song today. Love The Dead
