Grateful Dead - Looks Like Rain (Giza, Egypt 9/15, 16/1978)

"Joining the Grateful Dead's repertoire in 1972, Looks Like Rain was a standout track from Bob's 1972 solo record Ace. This performance is one of the many highlights from the Dead's Egypt shows in 1978, and highlights Donna's magnificent contributions to the Grateful Dead's sound." -David Lemieux

I will direct anyone who says donna cant sing to this. Those harmonies are something else

Direct them to a round and round this is not her best

No she can’t. Annoying as hell. Just missed her live but spent years on tour.

This song majes me cry... thinking of my first love..... I still love him

[@davidhunt8685]

Donna, and Bobby's vocals in this one have always been one of my faves

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

I agree 100% percent. In my opinion, I think the Dead should have just retired that song when the Godchauxs' left in 1979, because they never really captured that same magic ever again on that song without Donna...😔

[@nevadanate4957]

@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 I feel like I've heard a version from 91 that was good, but it is maybe my favorite Weir song period

Twenty years today since my fathers been gone, not a single day has passed that i havent thought about him. I miss you dad and will love you forever. "Brave the storm to come, for it surely looks like rain" .

[@romolahodas2413]

When I was younger, I could not listen to this song when I was alone because I would start to cry. This is an amazing version.Boy am I glad I grew up with this band being around.

[@muskybites505]

The guy at 3:44, his face says it all. Glad my face was at a few…love you guys

He’s high AF. 😁

[@sneakerfacevids441]

IMHO this was the very best musical moment from this concert release. Donna & Bobby nail the harmonies !

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

I always thought that Bobby and Donna had GREAT chemistry...

[@keyboardwizard8895]

This is me and David's love song He used to usher for Jerry garcia band and The GD In the early 90s at the Warfield and the fillmore in SF I can't ever hear it again without crying tears of joy I miss him everyday

[@stefanschleps8758]

I was fortunate enough to catch "the Rain" two or three times. It was always an experience of sublime passion and joy. We all felt blessed to have gotten it, sanctified as it were, as if by some Holy Ghost that followed the Dead around. Such beauty seemed ethereal and supernatural, something too good to be taken for granted, like something from another world. RIP

[@robertthompson3941]

Was she Still with Keith?

[@robertthompson3941]

OR had he already PASSED?

[@robertthompson3941]

I suppose that they had Already “Split” Before Keith died

Got a bf that looks like Jerry. He moved away 3 yrs ago to care for sick parents. His father passed then 6 weeks later my father passed. It indeed looks like rain. Beautiful song and memories 😢

Who does the 'meow' at 2:16? Is it one of the drummers pulling an adolescent stunt? It's awesome in any event!

Thought it was Donna❤😻

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

@@sanderschwartz4901I think it’s one of the drummers or even maybe Keith. I’ve watched it 20 times now. Can’t figure it out. It’s not Bob, Donna, Jerry or Phil, as far as I can tell anyway. 🐈🙀

[@mahakala99]

I was going to pour some more concrete or at least try to slope what is there away from the foundation of the house, however it just looked like rain all day- that kind of pissy ass Tlaloc kind of sky you really don't want to mess with if- if it did happen to come down on you it ain't going to be no Seattle drizzle but all heaven unleashes its fury kind of sky.

[@robertthompson3941]

Is that David Duchovny at 3:50?

@@ryanmoore2779 Rainbow Family back in the mid nineties told me that little gem at their nudist colony in Oregon. Is it true? I don’t know but there were lots of people there that had followed the dead since they were the warlocks

[@Perromedic0]

Cmon now...

[@rogergoodman8665]

I believe "Hell in a bucket" is actually about 1% motorcycle clubs & their members attending shows in the 60's & 70's.

[@danemassie3750]

@@rogergoodman8665 that sounds way more likely with the actual motorcycle sounds in the studio version, “up and down carpeted halls.” That had to be a scary time to be a dead head and get ripped off by an MC

It's different it's just not like it what it was in 88

Playing a concert at the pyramids is the ultimate white guy virtue signal

[@sneakerfacevids441]

Talking about “virtue signaling” is just lame.

Making that comment is virtue signaling for yourself.

pretty sure they went to have fun

What virtue are they signaling and what makes the pyramids 'white'. I have 0 idea what on earth you mean by any of this? They wanted to play a gig in a beautiful and awesome location for the sheer fun of it so they did.
