Grateful Dead - Morning Dew (Winterland 10/18/74) (Official Live Video)

"From the middle night of a five night stand that were billed as the Dead's "Farewell Concerts," this is widely considered one of the greatest, and most emotional, versions of Morning Dew ever performed by the Grateful Dead. Thankfully, the Dead's farewell proved to be a two year hiatus from live touring, and in June 1976 they returned to the road." - David Lemieux

There are musicians, and then there is the Good Ol' Grateful Dead.

[@robertmcmahon319]

Everyone says Jerry died young. He really lived for the time he was here. The most relaxed lead guitar player ever

[@thumper8869]

He died just in time

[@Xplore97]

Right? People always say it’s so sad when musicians die young but they often live lives most of us could only dream about.

[@Placement239]

He died young, just after my second show, after listening for 15 years

HELLO BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!

[@k1llj0y87]

Smoked DMT, started getting into a bit of a panic, chaotic feelings swelling in my chest. I put this on and all my troubles melted away, just Jerry, Phil, the Boys, and me, in transcendental space for all of time. Every time the Boys would simmer down into near silence, it was like the ultimate tranquility would take hold. You can just tell they were in no rush here, nowhere to be, nowhere to go, nothing was more important than the next note that was to come from their fingertips, and giving the people a beautiful lament that I'm sure everyone in that crowd carry with them to this day. Godspeed to Jerry, Long Live The Dead, and may the universe bless you beautiful Dead Heads!

[@danhedonia]

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, I was a proud punk and scorned the Dead. Later, I worked in the music biz, with a lot of indie/alt/punk musicians in the 90's. Fast forward to 2010, and I had a shit life year and somehow spent hours, just hours, listening to the Dead on archive.org and posted something about that on FB. This ancient punk guy, famous musician, says "we all shit on them at the time, but the terrible secret is that the music is very, very good." Couldn't say it any better.

[@faeryfeathers]

@@danhedonia never saw the need to shit in peoples choice of music. Im a converted punk myself, but the bashing was always lame.

[@xzysyndrome]

We were geared up. The Van was packed. Our smiles were without rival. We had finally decided to fuck it all and chase the Dead across the country. It was happening...and boy, there was not a higher elation to be found...Then the news broke that Jerry died. That Van stayed packed a few more weeks before we finally offloaded it. I was one bummed human...who never got to see the Dead live. All that aside, this music brings me a joy and release that no other music can. Lovin' ya!

[@jackson4404]

Morning Dew has always been my favorite Dead tune. Turns out it is their best.

[@universalwebworks]

Don't want to brag but I was at all 5 shows. It was farewell to the wall of sound. On the fifth night, Mikey Hart rejoined the band after leaving in the wake of his father ripping off the band a few years earlier. I think I sat in the front row of the balcony most nights taping these shows on a Nakamichi tape recorder. This was before taping was allowed and we had to smuggle our gear past Winterland security. Still friends with the guys I went to these shows with. What a long strange trip indeed...In 2023, one of the three Mad Tapers sadly passed away. But the two of us who are still here trekked to Vegas for a couple of Sphere shows without him. The music never stops...

[@rogdow5497]

Too bad they did not compose it. Jerry liked it and that's all that matters... A song about nuclear Armageddon would be a little weird to represent the band. Dark Star would be more fitting.

[@sethhilaryjackson]

@@rogdow5497 They didn't compose it, but they changed the words, and those changes transformed the song. I always heard the song as not about nuclear armadeddon, but as a love song where one of the lovers is at first hesitant but then decides to open up accept the love.

[@firetecher]

Grew up in the 60s/70s. Never resonated with GD back then. Was lucky enough that my little brother got me "on the bus" in 1994 inspired by Joseph Campbells 2 thumbs for GD. Caught a plane for 3 shows in Oakland. 1st show did not resonate. With some assistance, 2nd show was a singularity. Very life changing. 15 shows in 15 months, and then Jerry passed. And I am still blessed that I am still on a long strange trip 30 years later.

[@lgoodma3]

Jevf Kon and Owsley discovered that technology, I believe.

[@bearhall4919]

It was designed out of necessity because their entire speaker system, known as the Wall Of Sound was located behind them. It was the premier sound system of the time. Most bands sounded like garbage in big halls, so they developed this system to get over the crowd without distortion. It's pretty amazing, including the fact that each musician has his own stacks of speakers, the out of phase mics, and even a quadrophonic soundboard.

You say 'was' as though she is no more. I'm delighted to be able to tell you that great aunt Bonnie is still alive and has been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018. By her own account the song was written after a dinner party discussion with friends where the topic had turned to what the world would look like after a nuclear holocaust, which was inspired by the film 'On The Beach'. But I suppose she could have had a nightmare too.

I remember being in a 73 Econoline van after taking three hits of paper acid I couldn't get into the Irvine show because we bought counterfeit tickets. So we sat in the van in the dark and listened to Europe 72 and I tripped out in space and felt like I was going to lose it until I was landed on the shores of tranquility and was ushered into the morning dew. I never forgot that.

The jamming in this number at this performance - it ranks with the all-time greatest Jazz bands when they would reach their apex live on stages in the 30s, 40's, 50's, even into 60's...free...a group of musicians all speaking to each other with their instruments - having a conversation...through the language of Jazz music. That's what they were playing for much of this...Jazz...in it's purest form. They just did it in their Grateful Dead style. This was sublime. Absolutely sublime.

[@tablaturebutler2823]

I gotta be in there too somewhere - I was at all four of these shows - but I can't say I've found myself yet. All the best!

[@bryanmeekins835]

Wow, that's so cool!

[@dannygagliano237]

I was only 5 years old here but i caught them in 87 for the next 8 yrs over 150 shows with my deadhead family damn i miss all of you God Bless

[@Valarien777]

Morning Dew is still one of my favorite Jerry songs live, never fail to get lost in it's melancholic beauty...

[@classygary]

The best come down song ever . Death n Rebirth over n over .

[@sabrinaleedance]

My son's favorite song to fall asleep to. He's 10 months old. Just shy of a year,not even a full trip around the sun and he already has a love for Jerrys voice and guitar ❤️

[@nickdarbenzio3073]

Putting my daughter to sleep w it now. She’s 6

[@usernameinvalid2675]

Awesome guys there’s hope for the future💥💯

Seu filho felizmente faz parte das pessoas que tem o verdadeiro bom gosto!

No one has traveled around the sun. The sun isnt 93 million miles away. And earth isnt a round ball either. The grateful dead were a masonic stooge band...and knew this. Fuck these lying motherfuckers. Damn shame...still like the music.

[@vwheato]

My daughter would fell asleep to “Gimne Shelter”! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jeffmclean6212]

This is a song to cry to

[@dwiggzmasterflex]

This mix is fire. Phil's shaking my whole house rn.

[@dunestunes1]

What does this "mix is fire" mean?

[@dwiggzmasterflex]

@@dunestunes1 that the audio channels are leveled correctly. Can hear everyone as clear as a spring chicken. Phils bass especially, theres bombs all up and down this dew

[@janeseamore1370]

not kidding

[@PhelaDurosinmi]

phil was taking concrete out of the building with those bass bombs

[@40tired]

Totally agree....video is pristine as well. Fire indeed.

[@jackstraw9244]

Jerry like Hendrix chanelers of another dimension. This song perfect bliss.

[@classygary]

Exactly.

[@lizlovesmusic]

So good! I love seeing the audience shots, too. No cell phones, no talking. What it must have been like to see them at Winterland!

[@ripplebear]

Agreed. Feeling it! Pure magic!

[@tablaturebutler2823]

I was at these - and a couple hundred other - GD shows. Still have my "THE LAST ONE" stamped ticket stub. More or less grew up under the mirrored ball. Hard to express just how good those good times were...

[@lizlovesmusic]

@@tablaturebutler2823 I can sort of imagine. My first show was in 1988. The smallest one I saw was JGB in Reno NV, in a parking lot venue. While most of the shows I saw were quite large, I did have the pleasure of seeing some very special and memorable ones. And of course there were no cell phones! And hanging out near the spinners, not too many people talked during the show :-)

[@densely]

Both Winternald and the Fillmore felt much larger than they really were. It's as if the whole world was there.

[@skianddie]

No cell phones, how true and beautiful.

[@elizabethowens8548]

I just needed a good cleansing cry today safe in the memory of my papa bear before the world broke him. His last words were "I'm tired i want to walk in the morning dew." I got to believe our good ultimate walked him home

[@benmoore701]

Morning dew is always great but imo this is the freaking definitve live version and most righteously mastered

[@Dzilla64]

The best days of the dead...The 70's..Man I miss those days.

[@nancygillingham4918]

I was there all 5 nights. Magic!

[@mikecava3963]

me too 19yrs young

[@davidwaltzer2235]

we drove all the way down from humboldt county to see this show. we didnt have tickets but in those days they always held on to a few hundred tickets to sell at the door at Winterland, so you could always get in. Saw the show and drove home the same night. What a blast!

[@parkerfolsom3193]

Unreal! Billy’s drumming is spot on.

[@kennykaufman8263]

He was flying solo. Could no wrong

[@raphkatchdrums]

The dynamism of the solo Billy years really pushed the band beyond stratospheric heights. As a human I love everything Mickey has done in terms of the acceptance and wider appreciation for other cultures and the impact sound has on our lives. But as a drummer, the band from '71-'74 (and to a lesser extent the early years) having just Bill on the kit was just different gravy. Much love and see y'all out there. ✌️ & ❤️.
