Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower►

[@booognish]

I've never done this before.. I've always been the one seeing these comments... One of my best friends died the night before last in a car accident. I was on his KZbin page going through his favorites and found this. I'm gonna miss hanging with him and listening to the Dead. A lot.. Always try to take the time to appreciate people you love.. Even when life is crazy. Always forgive the ones that are worth it, because a genuine friendship is a beautiful and sacred thing..

[@tonks78]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you have found peace and comfort, especially with the wonderful memories of your friend. Peace.....

[@booognish]

I still miss my friend so much. I think of him every single day...

[@covertcoup1]

Live in his memory. Don't let that go. He's with you.

[@JustinW-o5t]

@@booognish hoping this comment send's you a message and bring's you back to this fantastic song :) we will all see our friends and family again on some other plane of reality and it will be beautiful I just know it. Just not in this life

[@GDguitarplayer]

That Festival Express footage at the end was really cool.

[@darkstarjoel]

its been so long since i saw jerry. i miss tour and i miss jerry. this song brings back so ,so many great memories. so many freinds i made in the nine years i followed them. love this song.

[@MaineUmphreak]

One Word..... Fabulous!

[@69ardentartist]

the pink panther plus the festival express footage.....RRRROYALLY COOL VID!!!!

[@piperwilliams2911]

My little one loves this. We watch it together alot. 😁

[@GenteelBrett]

how can you not love the train ride? boggles the mind ...

[@aumpak]

generations of music . i am so happy I introduced GD to my son.. I met Jerry in Stony brook NY , never will forget he day I waited on him. I screamed so loud he had to evacuate .

[@piperwilliams2911]

This is my daughter's favorite cartoon! 😊. She loves the Grateful Dead. I used to sing the song Ripple to her when she was a baby.

[@sunshinenblues]

Wonderful sentiment! Ripple is a gem 4sure. But, I was "sole owner" of this tune the first time i heard it in 1968. Long story follows..

[@MrStickyicky88]

That scene from the train station is when they ran out of booze on the festival express and everyone on board agreed to stop and stock up! Thanks for this video.

[@MobileAppearance]

I love whoever did the vid for this very entertaining !

[@bevstuff16]

Everything tasted purple for a moment. Rider is frikken AWESOME!!!

[@SFsolarboy]

Right when Jerry sings: "I wish I was a headlight on a North bound train" the train comes around a corner on the tracks with it's headlight shining right into the camera. Perfect!

[@gotswagger99]

Sometimes you get surprised, thought it was going to be China Cat with pics (would have been very happy with that), but Pink Panther clips along with it, what a great day!

[@The420LunchBox]

Miss you everyday Jerry!!! Forever Grateful!!!!!

[@toastedmonkee]

It's from Festival Express. A Toronto-Calgary train trip involving many bands. Search out the video.

[@sweetlipsthereason1]

best live performance group ever gotta love the dead

[@sunshinenblues]

in 1969 the GD played in my school gymnasium!! Stony Brook L.I. needless to say "what a show"...anyway Bob Weir and I hooked up and he invited me to go to Porchester, NY concert the next weekend. when I did, i danced onstage with the band & both I and the rest of the band and the groupies, left in the limo. I stayed with them the whole weekend! the truth, i swear! I SLEPT in the same bed as Bob Weir. so, yeah i'm cool. also, Truthful. which is why i edited my original comment. i filled in some personal details, for you deadheads and for myself, so when i'm ninety years old, i'll get pleasure out of my forgotten memories.

[@spacenerd9499]

sunshinenblues lucky!

[@revkev711]

Christa Woods ;

[@spacenerd9499]

revkev711 that's crazy! crazy cool!

[@ariascarletstorm]

jerry's birthday was yesterday, happy belated birthday jerry!! may the legend live on in our hearts and minds!! peace and love sarah

[@G9et]

Favorited!!! Makes me remember the old days in Brønby Popclub close to Copenhacen in Dennmark where they showed animation films along with the light show.Those were the days of innosence

[@jakethesnake576]

I was a year and a half old when jerry died, but the dead have been such a huge influence in my life! One of my all time favorite song/combo of songs. Great stuff!

[@heidirulz]

such a great combo. Love love love the Dead. RIP Jerry 16 years ago today we lost a legend

[@zlstpedestrian1565]

so mich fun. early version, perfect. the bridge scene...

[@astrofan777]

very nice. thanks . and WOW. giddie UP.

[@ListenToManicAntenna]

Just started listening to GD again recently. Then last night, I randomly watched this Pink Panther episode on Netflix and today I come across this. Cool! :D

[@eyesoftheworld721]

oH MAn I need to dose, Loved the Pink panther, and the more recent video of another time long gone. day 3 with a bad sickness/flu but that sent me all trippy sorts of feeling and that cartoon brought me back to my childhood's most obscure memories

[@Brutz52176]

This is so good, it's like stickin' a pork chop in an apple pie. Take that thought----KZbin People!

[@tonguetiedification]

pchop in an apple pie.....now that is something i can relate to! Wow!

[@christopherbradley3779]

If a you come across a Dead fan that does not think this is one of the greatest songs they sang than he's not a true Deadhead. Period...

[@1999wharfrat]

You are correct folk89, this is the 2/19/71 show from the Capitol. The first show with Mickey Hart for a few years, as the notes in the archive indicate.

[@blueridgedew]

I'll start at 70 just to be sure, but I do have a bunch. I'll try to find it for sure. Thanks for the upload!!! It'll be fun listening to them all like a col-age of China-Rider's. I hope I don't get lost... LOL

[@styx22]

Superb!

[@solsen722]

Reminds me of when we used play the dead and have the tv on in the background with no sound

[@snuffleupagus1617]

I thought I was the only person who did that! Hahaha!

[@Awesomehippie16]

I do that! Sometimes to the Andy Griffith show or other older shows. It's funny when it starts to actually match up!

[@keithmckeon4007]

That's so perfect!

[@franzlvorex1899]

My favorite video on KZbin right now

[@imJustBlazed]

i would give anything to go back and grow up during these days. so much hate and commercialism in todays generation

[@toastedmonkee]

This is really good. Thanks for posting. The Pink Panther stuff is oddly synch'd. I love this. The movie was cool also.

[@higman12]

the footage is from the canadian cross country film when they stopped in Medice Hat(I think0 and the liquor stare was right by the tracks. look at the size of the bottle of CC.

[@jeff8231]

Great job. Thanks.

[@TheRealForrestGeorge]

Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono like a crazy-quilt stargown through a dream night wind Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana like a one-eyed Cheshire like a diamond-eye Jack A leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle to a double-e waterfall over my back Comic book colors on a violin river crying Leonardo words from out a silk trombone I rang a silent bell beneath a shower of pearls in the eagle wing palace of the Queen Chinee

[@seth5654]

2 people must have pressed dislike by accident..... I could listen to this all day!!!

[@schwartzf1]

ALL ABOARD THE FESTIVAL EXPRESS!!!

[@randihawkins3577]

love the video of the PInk Panther!

[@BlissedMiss1]

Nothing as magic as the Cap!!

[@chasefukuoka61]

Brilliant idea, China Cat and this Panther video... love it..!

[@stephanlarsen8169]

In america.we had a cartoon. Pete puma

[@GenteelBrett]

very cool. thank you.

[@mn395422]

Holy shit! Why didn't I ever listen to this band before?

[@sunshinenblues]

guess where the Dead played in 1969? Port Chester...amen. i was 19, and there for that weekends concerts. on the stage, full time with some groupies and we danced for the entire night all that weekend. i slept with my good pal (who said he was my cousin that weekend) BW in a room shared by Phil Lesh and girl from audience Bob and myself. the music was pretty good too, no kidding!

[@TheMeleemonkey]

@wojowut stunning comment. you made me taste purple, and iv been whistling yellow all day because of it. thank ye.

[@smartalek180]

Same as what everyone else said -- it's a great performance, and it was clearly an inspired choice to mate it with Blake Edwards' concept of a trippy cartoon experience. Ya done good -- thank you so much for sharing! Best to you, and to everyone...

[@TheMeleemonkey]

i often jingle in the midnight sun, i think o this tune whenever im walkin in the dark with too much shrapnel in my pocket. copper coins jingle better, more in keepin with the tune. u should try it, silver sounds more beach boys. peace all

[@stevenpyron3406]

Watch this everytime I trip

[@georgefaisonvi4978]

I'm so happy to find new g.d. material like this. AND this is a very good recording of China Rider

[@kasumiquarter]

THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE! IT MAKES ME FEEL HAPPY!!! :DDDDDD

[@KilgoreParadise]

i wish i was a headlight on a northbound train

[@joeyblast]

great cartoon. great band :D

[@stephanlarsen8169]

Pete puma too

[@KansasStateGuru]

YEAH JERRY! WE MISS U!

[@Phishphantom]

Best d@mn video yall put out yet!!! Well the Fire On the Mountain was pretty bad ass 2!!!

[@terrybrown2466]

I miss Jerry more than I miss my mom...

[@CSXT8250]

I Really LOVED this video T.Y.!!!

[@ThomasTERichmond]

Pretty darn cool! Thanks for the video upload! Peace... :-))

If I may. I saw the Dead 💀 in 71 at a Junior college in St. Louis . Garcia played pedal steel for the New Riders . Dropped some window pane with my little hippie buddies. I cried when the Riders played Lonesome LA Cowboy.. I was 13 years old. My friends still rip me. Acid is a hell of a drug 😂😂😂

[@MrHippycris]

Awe grate ! I can't believe I missed this one,Straight to the playlist bro ! Thanks for your uploads !....Peace

[@PhukIT1865]

love the bass pounding my speakers hehe

[@donjohn4277]

Nice trippy video

[@Phishphantom]

Best damn video yall put out yet!!! Well the Fire On the Mountain was pretty bad ass 2!!!

[@smartalek180]

Sometimes it's the destination; sometimes it's the journey; sometimes it's both. You might notice that -- unlike almost any other YT music threads (or for that matter those on almost any subject) -- there's no rancor, no d!ck-waving, and almost no ego showing, in the debate... Just people sharing memories of (or sometimes wishing they'd been there to remember) some great times. And thank you for settling the matter. Cheers . ps -- love your handle; you musta been a *v* early-adopter!

[@grandbbq]

Creative if anything. Really cool.

[@blueridgedew]

If I have to listen to all that I have of this song within 72-74. I'm not gonna have too much fun finding the date for you, Gratefulvideo.... KKKKKKKK

[@ScarletFire1994]

☮I didnt know the pink panther could be so trippy☮

[@jpjohnson37]

Awesome!

[@stageactor1958]

Nicely done! Just discovered your channel and look forward to scouring more of your videos.

[@Gerry50ify]

Great music and video! I love the combo of the Pink Panther and FESTIVAL EXPRESS. You should consider doing a Grateful Dead video to some HERE COMES THE GRUMP clips, another DePatie-Freleng 'toon that delved into psychedelia.

[@ToGetToTerrapin]

16 people do not get and may never get it... sucks to be them

[@nickkotsify]

@higman12 at 5: 01 it kinda looks like the paper says Saskatoon Saskatchewan maybe????

[@MarkMasters...]

Be that HEADLIGHT...✌🕺🇺🇸

[@eyesoftheworld721]

of course I had just listened to Dark Star>Beautiful Jam from I believe 10-31-71

[@Phishphantom]

So freakin awesome=)

[@sunshinenblues]

@equalhappiness what you say! i agree i'll have to that all GD even attempts to capture their total magic are worth the work..and this is coming from a girl who danced onstage with the Band during their Capitol Theatre 1970 concerts. and more.....

[@pottagepeasandbumblebees]

Wow, 14 people must have fallen out of their chair and accidentally hit the dislike button.

[@mikeoverbaugh4686]

Jerry would approve of this

[@jacobmillerii810]

those 14 thumbs downers must be into elevator music or something

[@mac-iv5gs]

I think they miss clicked.

[@amessage]

Nice!

[@wobrien007]

This is definitely late 1970 or early 1971. By late '71 China Cat and I Know You Rider had gotten stretched out to the familiar Europe '72 sound. Slower, smoother and funkier. But, like this version a lot, too....

[@howardb42006]

Very Cool Dead Video Man !

[@doublestrokeroll]

@kalukskate12 yeah that riff is awesome...i'm trying to learn it right now...lol

[@emerica9540]

@folk89 this is europe 72 not capitol theatre

[@HDN1956]

Legendär !

[@seXysFFA]

+1 video is awesome1

[@Chupaskabra45]

more tyoooons man!!

[@deweypug]

[@jimhernandez7712]

[@fatmanrocks13]

@heidirulz such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there

[@cheeks33]

this video is fucking awesome

[@derekanderson848]

RIP

[@trojanlol]

@mn395422 I used to know that band but not listen to it aswell... but man, this is AWESOME

[@Mattye35]

Great west central are you on board!

[@jakethesnake576]

@equalhappiness As much as I love jerry I have to say that Phil was the binding energy that kept the dead togther on those days (rare as they were in the early years) when Garcia was not at his best, he can take all the crazyness and flow of the dead he locks it all in. But yea, I wish I could have been around to see them live!

[@galaxycatfishing4364]

Sure to cure ur blues

[@StaggerLee4206]

Festival Xpress train!!!!

[@Greshapa]

SPREAD THE DOSES

[@Cruth8987]
