How are you?

[@dough4297]

Any time you're down if you come to a Dead comments section you encounter a lovely world of support, sympathy, camaraderie, kindness, positivity and so many other things that are missing from so many parts of the world. The concerts were amazing because they felt the same and I'm so glad it continues. It's pretty much impossible to come away from a performance like this and comments like this and feel worse than when you came here. It's part of the essence of the band that the audience is STILL part of it.

[@sunshinenblues]

Yes. I am 73 yrs old and live with memories of being 19 onstage at the concerts, right by Bobby Weir, dancing and dancing. And later at the hotel with the band for the weekend. 1969, I was a star too.

[@sunshinenblues]

You made me tear up! I was there from the beginning in 1967, where they played at Stony Brook University. I was a freshman. Became a hippie, (a.k.a. junkie) down the road. But to honestly tell the truth: I wouldn't change one thing. My life should be a book. I am too lazy to put one out there...

[@markgucciardi7360]

[@RickYager-hc9go]

I was listening to this tape when I was 17 years old. Here I am in my 60s still listening to this and being amazed. Always loved going to Cornell for shows

[@sunshinenblues]

I spent weekend in '69 with the band at concert in Porchester, NY. Capitol Theater. My goodness was that a hippie-chick thing to do - I had a crush on Bobby so when they played at my university I got friendly with him. He invited me to the Capitol Theater, I arrived, he told guard at door I was his cousin...i followed him to stage and danced on his left (right side of stage) all night long.. Then, I stayed at their hotel with him. Drove in the limo from concerts to hotel. Hung out getting stoned with band, groupies, roadies, etc. all day, and then came next concert and so on. . .

I was there. At the time we had no idea that we would be looking back on this night thinking about how lucky we were to be at the greatest Dead concert of all time.

[@richierugs6544]

lucky lady--were there seats in front or was it a writhing mass of happy tripping people dancing and loving every second?

[@enriquezvaldez3797]

What an unbelievable piece of music. Music was once great, now look what it's become, I'm so glad this recording is around deadhead till the end.

[@beaulyons1977]

It’s almost comical the music that’s out now that everyone is jumping on…there will never be a band like the Grateful Dead 🌹

Robots have taken over music ,r-d2 d- jay

[@thaddeusk4230]

@@beaulyons1977 Great version, but listen up. One can't eat off the same plate every day musically. I'm not jumping on anything, other than the great musicianship that abounds TODAY. Stringdusters, Billy Strings, Joe K Walsh, Grant Gordy, Mr. Sun, Travelin McCoury's, and so much more. My bowl is full, and FWIW, I first saw the Dead in 1970. Saw them plenty, but I used Jerry's music to find jazz, blues, bluegrass, etc. To blanket statement as you did, tells me you haven't a clue as to what great music is out there these days.

[@maxsno]

Think again amigo

[@sunshinenblues]

Can you imagine how great the sixties felt? & also how disenfranchised!..hippies once ruled!

[@speedspeed121]

As I drive from the Sacramento area, across the Sierras on Hwy 88, I tend to listen to GD during the Summer with my windows down. My journey takes me from the smell of smog to the scent of pine trees and the sounds of some 1970s trip on the radio. I don't necessarily have a destination, but I have a journey and a soundtrack to set the mood. As the high mountains give way to the Carson Valley, I turn south on 395; the adventure continues

[@daslous89]

Drive on man, drive on!!

[@lbshore]

I was there. The acid was good. And it was snowing outside in May when they finally kicked us out... One of those beautiful, magical Grateful Dead nights. How lucky we were.

[@zoltanroolz]

This is one of the Top 10 things ever posted to KZbin.

[@charlesryan427]

There's a reason Cornell is so widely loved.

[@trips4477]

WOW !!! I feel very fortunate to have caught them live back in 74 until Jerry's passing We miss you big time Let's continue to carry the message ❤

[@gordynyc]

I've always thought Keith is the unsung virtuoso of the Cornell show. His keyboard is so light yet feeling.

[@timothyducey5591]

A freakin Professor Longhair? Let me work on it.

[@frog442]

Best Scarlet/Fire EVER!!

[@roberttartaglia8651]

I was there that night. Believe it or not there was a snow storm on my way home that night. Driving in a snow storm at night in May still high on windowpane is a real conclusion to the best Dead show I ever saw!

[@roberttartaglia8651]

Jeff Rogers ... strong in a very mellow way, if that makes any sense. Quite different from something like Orange Sunshine or a "barrel-acid". Windowpane made "sense", enveloped your brain with relaxed intensity.

[@ScarlettFire341]

windowpane was 4 doses per piece of gelatin material +-

[@jimrein2624]

Being clear it was hard to mix crap into it , though 4 way seldom for 4 .The blotter usually same for purity.

[@weebefree]

Lmao

[@jenniferhudson6145]

You weren't because this show never happened.... You were brainwashed ... Check into it

[@chicklets4ever51]

Very, very close to perfection. The Dead's "string trio"--Jerry, Bobby, and Phil--are second to none in the rock world. The KZbin ads are sacrilege.

[@georgevranas498]

Perhaps the greatest jam of all time.

[@LaszloMeszaros88]

Agreed, fantastiche!!!

[@Karmakatt6]

Soon as Jerry jumps on that Mutron, well, reality literally goes out the fucken window..

[@noammospared]

At all of you. No show was ever the same.i was lucky enough to see 13 of them and the tune you are listening to now was never done the same way twice. What makes them the dead!

[@justdiane5]

all my deadhead friends agreed that this was the best jam segue ever cuz we always got lost in the in between, trying to catch the 1st notes of Fire.

[@sunshinenblues]

this is hands down best jam i ever heard since my GD experiences 1968-1970 it was a lot different.& still felt like they all had a magical effect on us all.. i met them, hung out with them, danced the concerts away...on stage and stayed overnight with Bobby and Phil; there's nothing special about me! I was just hit by the magical sounds they made .

[@christopherorman5769]

I agree. Fire "starts" around 7:56 with Bobby strumming the chords. Tones really start around 9:11. The true Fire line is then played by Keith at around 9:46. Then Bobby really hits it at 11:36 and Jerry is on board. I think this is one of those rare Dead jams where the band is moving in unison, but independently in unison. Weather Report made a living playing jams where everyone soloed at once, and this jam definitely takes on that ethos.

[@AllanOstermann]

I've never heard that instant transition in "Help on the Way/Slipknot!" Still love the circuitous transition. Either way's okay with me.

[@justdiane5]

[@davidcann3809]

Makes me smile!

[@paulperkins1615]

Sometimes when I listen to this, I feel impatient, and it seems like it takes forever for anything to happen. Sometimes, like last night when I was not quite ready to go to sleep, and I put it on headphones, I feel peaceful, and it seems like there is plenty going on, and it changes at exactly the right pace.

[@bobscomix]

I'm astounded that this was never officially released anywhere! I'm happy though to have my clean audio bootleg version! the transition from Scarlet to Fire is a thing of beauty!

[@jonathansocha8223]

It wasn't released because it's one of the most widely spread bootlegs so now one would buy it everyone already has it

[@bobscomix]

I think hard core heads would still buy it, as many of us have versions of the show that aren't of the greatest quality.

[@amlesida]

Thanks!

[@PeggyBrennan]

Plus Bobby Weir hints that this show is a myth. He offers a tinfoil hat to folks that claim they were there.

[@sunshinenblues]

@@PeggyBrennan That's too funny! I can see him doing just that..but you know that Weir's my jam!

[@sunshinenblues]

@@AllanOstermann my journey with the GD was very different than yours boys! I flirted with Bob Weir and was invited to stay with him in Porchester. The two nights at Capitol Theater I danced at his side onstage. Never forget even for a minute where that took me! Next stop was California, hippies, hippies, hippies.
