RIP Phil. May the music never stop

[@direwolf6234]

1970-74 are my favorite years .. 8 albums .. small venues .. youthful & healthy energy .. tight tunes

[@grizzkid795]

Yeah, maybe include 69. More refined than their first years and before some of the nastier drugs began to take their toll.

[@johnnyfreedom3437]

That's what I really noticed out of this video, how "tight" the group was during the entire recording! Tight also meaning incredibly clean and sober through the whole show! They were so disciplined! Can't believe they made a real music video back in the 70s! Thank you boys!

[@retsdon]

So good to see Jerry looking so happy. He can hardly keep the smile off his face. And good old Pigpen too. Happy days...

[@alantjs5]

He was probably on a high.

[@kmh9868]

What a concert, Jerry playing a Strat the whole show, Phil singing backup, Pigpen & Keith with Bill drum by himself.

[@johnathancross7465]

Seriously what a concert. Everything you said so true. So good blows my top right off my noggin. The Dead nothing better.

[@namcat53]

This is around the time I saw The Grateful Dead. I really dug the tie dye speaker cabinet covers they had then. Nice eye candy.

[@gregmcnair4272]

I remember seeing them for the first time at the Academy of Music in NYC back in 1972. Seeing Bob Weir and realizing that he wasn't that much older than I was at that time. And seeing the band having so-much-fun playing music. But the thing that got me the most was, after hearing 2 and a half hours of this wonderful music, and thinking to myself, "man, that was the best concert I ever heard", to hear Weir say, "we're going to take a short break and play some more for you." Mind blown! Bus come by and I got on. And on that night, my life changed forever, in the most beautiful and positive way.

[@felixfortuna7]

I saw them on the Friday night concert in Tivoli (the clip above is from the following Monday) and it blew my mind as well - 15 years old and an aspiring bass player. I remember how warm people responded - clapping like crazy after each song, so Phil Lesh said after an hour or so: You don't have to clap like that - we'll keep on playing 🙂

[@Jakob_Rastafari]

@@felixfortuna7that’s so sick. I was born in 2000 so I never got to see them.

[@meterpik1]

They played for 5 hours. After 3 Jerry said "You don´t have to clap like that, we´re gonna play all night, right?". People had to walk home through the night of Copenhagen, because the public traffic had stopped. Best concert ever on Danish ground. Thanks for the music and rest in peace, Phil.

[@felixfortuna7]

I remember that it was Phil who said that 🙂 I was there

[@felixfortuna7]

But I could be mistaken - it is after all 52 years ago, I was 15 years old and must admit - smoked a joint or 2

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

What a great piece of film. This, to me, was when the Dead were at their absolute peak. It's rough to see Pig so frail though...

[@phssthpok5075]

The thumbnail says it all. We'll miss you, Phil. Rest in peace❤

[@manuelgomes1569]

Best He's Gone I've ever heard. Flowing smoothly and Billy is riding with the groove. And that solo... Makes all my atoms glow with joy and love!

[@ryanbatista3163]

Those first few moments at the beginning of china where they’re getting into the groove of it. Jerry looks around at 9:20 checking in with everyone then bob kind of turns and head nods at 9:30.. gets me every time! How tuned in to they were to each other. Just magic 🪄

[@matthewellis7002]

that's such a thing of beauty

[@thelatenightbar]

I never gave it much thought.. love me some Grateful Dead, but it occurs to me that considering which albums and recordings I listen to the most.. I think it's this lineup, this time period. .. with Pig Pen I listen to the most. And this video and quality audio is such a treat.

[@imrevandenbogaard9888]

Jerry was such an incredible artist still enjoying him 2024

[@hammer44head]

Keith so underrated, i think his playing on this tour just adds a great dimension and depth to their sound, they were all at the absolute best, for my taste anyhow, but i'm biased, i love the pig years the best, aint nobody could work a crowd like the Pig could. Cheers!

[@craigshewchuk9018]

Yea I agree, Pigpen added something magnificent to them RIP to him

[@STSGuitar16]

Keith coming in really solidified their movement from being a bluesy band into more of a jazzy psychedelic jam band in many ways. Yes, they were already heading that direction before Keith, but Keith's style really allowed them to stretch out into uncharted jam territory that Pigpen wasn't the biggest fan of. They still held onto that pure blues sound a lot, but it's pretty clear that the jams took a different direction once Keith joined them. The various eras are one of the cool things about the group. They never really stayed in one distinct territory very long.

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

@@STSGuitar16yes, all of that. But i think it is worth mentioning that Keith also was great with the saloon style country piano playing that allowed them to have such an authentic country sound during the psychedelic cowboy era. He wasn’t just great with the jazzy, soft touch exploratory fairy dust sprinkling type playing, he also rocked pretty hard on the country songs.

[@STSGuitar16]

@@gmcsrbosavl6964 excellent point about the country influence. He was definitely great at that. I’ll also add that I think Keith actually was pretty great at the jazzy psychedelic freeform jams, too, especially when he would get on the Rhodes keyboard in the mid 70s. There is a Bird Song from the Pacific Northwest ‘73/‘74 release on Spotify is a good example of that. Keith is on the Rhodes in that performance, and coincidentally he is also basically the loudest in the whole mix on that release, so you can hear everything he is playing loud and clear. I mean, I don’t think he was as good as someone like Page from Phish or even Jeff Chimenti in D&C, but in a lot of ways he was completely blazing the trail for jam band keys players. He helped bring the jazz world into the rock world with that style of playing, which definitely shaped the band in a huge way and ultimately helped create the entire jam rock genre. He was incredibly important for the sound of the band. If only Donna would’ve stayed home more often, though lmao

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

@@STSGuitar16 he’s my favorite and when he was at his peak, I prefer him to Brent, Chimenti or any other Dead related keys player. He was not a great soloist but the band didn’t need him to be. Garcia was still bursting with creativity and the way Keith - with a pretty advanced sense of harmony and theory in general from his classical training - wove himself into the already dense tapestry of the band is genius. I love hearing him on piano, but yes, love him on electric keyboards as well. I’ve heard that one of the reasons Jerry soured on him is that he didn’t like playing electric pianos all that much…not sure if that’s true. I forget which show it is, but early in his tenure there was a PNW show when he was playing the house pipe organ…any idea what that show is? Been trying to find it.
