Grateful Dead - Ramble on Rose (Live at Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA 12/31/78)

"Since its debut on 10/19/71 in Minneapolis, the very same night Keith Godchaux played his first show as a member of the Grateful Dead, Ramble On Rose was a consistently played Garcia-Hunter song right up to the Summer of 1995. Never recorded in the studio, the definitive version is the Europe '72 album, along with several other live-only recordings that were never given a studio treatment, including Tennessee Jed, He's Gone, Jack Straw, and Brown-Eyed Women." - David Lemieux

[@dougpotosky4102]

Hi David! Did the Dead play two nights at the Harding Theater in S.F. Before the Europe tour or after. Very early 70's. And where two keyboard players on stage. Thanks! My first Dead experience was thinking first night.

[@yetivanmarshall1473]

This blows the Europe 72 out of the water.

[@draz0909]

the grateful dead played the harding theater on Nov 6 and 7, 1971

[@johnmitchelljr]

We thank the musical gods everyday for that long haired, T shirted smiling guitar genius that took our brain to musical heaven so many many times. If you don’t love this video you don’t know what great music is. Thanks for sharing.

[@knowlesglenn]

Exactly!

[@jasonfoster7481]

I think he is one of the most underrated singers of all time to me. His voice is just heaven.

[@vinnienick4004]

EVH blows him out of the water tho

[@fox0357]

​@@vinnienick4004Yeah well, you know, thats just like, your opinion man.

[@Ggggggyhg]

Musical Gods you say? So Apollo and Hermes? 😉

[@autumngarcia3082]

My 5 yr old immediately starts grooving to this one everytime!!!!♡

[@deechatterton5828]

I have always thought this was the definitive version of this song. Not only is Jerry's guitar playing absolutely perfect, his singing is among the most soulful I've ever heard. Thanks for bringing this to You Tube. I tried like the Dickens to get into that show but to no avail...

[@RobHollanderMusic]

Agree. Finest version of ROR I've ever heard.

[@NicholasOsella]

i mean this show is pure class, and their version of "Stagger Lee" from this same night often gets stuck in my head ...

[@knowlesglenn]

I have to agree 100%. And Donna was stunning as well.

[@tiascott317]

Love grateful dead Number one n ripple is my very favorite

[@SnowTheJamMan]

It's too slow, my favorite version is 11/17/73, great playing by Bob and Keith on that one too.

[@mutedsqueakerHD]

The bass line in this song really carries it home for me

[@TomG315]

Seriously. He goes from deep and boomy to growly and throaty from note to note, it seems.

[@honeychilerider]

Fuck, this is wonderful. And I love that Donna is awesome on this one.

[@naytonestew7202]

"Slow Jerry" is the best!!!

[@soulonsoul8035]

So many bonfires, picnics and bike rides to this song 😭😍. Those were the glory days lol

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

i never really got into the Grateful Dead, but dang, this was really good. Now I have to check them out !

[@JeremyIlenin-mb3mk]

It was great .... and always will be It wasn't that long ago... Folks ..... Love will never die you know Watch yer 12s, 6, 3s and 9s...

[@kmh9868]

"Take you to the leader of the band" Jerry's singing great playing great and looking great.

[@margaretthatcher6828]

Ah...when music was wonderful.

[@darrellminx5459]

Best rambling rose lead by Jerry ever. I haven't heard every version but I'm 66 and have been a dead head since 1967.

[@JeremyIlenin-mb3mk]

I cant even put words to this .... Billy strings knows Will carry.... Are you people listening ? In 2024 ?

[@jasonstouder]

this is primo jerry right here, riding the rhythm like a surfer cruising thriugh the cosmos. one point, about 5 minutes in, he rides a solo right over bobs rythm, up and back. he looks right at bob after that, like, "did you catch that?". bob looks back at jerry right away like a kid trying to keep up on a bike. LETS GO, GRATEGUL DEAD FOREVER!

[@SR-iz2eq]

What a treat to have such lovely A/V of this moment. Happy new year to all of my fellow dead heads xoxo

[@theronsnell396]

[@pango-y8j]

Nice man I wish there was some kind of award or like trophy like a celebratory you know complimentary like t-shirt but you know what that's not all that sarcastic I'm from San Rafael Marin County San Francisco California and I fucking die for Jerry and if you were there I was only 10 years old all right so by default you are mother fucking awesome Rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran Desert yes I keep on keeping on Jerry you at the show I will always think of you and even though we will never meet like who cares like you were there so you're like a witness Jehovah's Witness

[@SpaceGalleria]

I miss enjoying FULL concerts, start to finish, space and drums included.,.,Back to my collection of tapes i guess

[@thomasrohr3130]

Did u say ur name was ramblin rose???? Ramble on baby! Settle down easy!! Ramble on Rose!!!!

[@volta5550]

Late 70’s Jerry is my favorite Jerry ❤

[@stevefaure415]

1978 a good year for them too. And always had more fun when they were at home. Jerry's solo beginning at 4:13 is off the charts good. He was a real jazz player at his best.

[@RiverRat1953]

The 70’s were the absolutely best Dead ever!

[@rifki9055]

Jerry in the 70s oh ya nothing better 🎸✌️👏

[@antoniojaviervegasantana7700]

FANTÁSTICO/ LEGENDARIOS 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@mateusmontiel9630]

7:34 omg the way jerry writes those last notes with his head!! this man lived and exudes music in its most majestic form, love you jerry

[@vicweast]

So much Great fun! Grateful for the tech that lets me see it now, years later, and revel in it's honed glory!

[@DanAtEXIT]

It's always been a favorite and Jer Bear belted this out like no other time. #GoodOldDays

[@michaelallison16]

Happy New Year Everyone! Soft Shoeing To This One!! A Smiling Jerry…..

[@grantmarshall3026]

All hail Jerry I’ve been listening to him since I was in the womb 1974 into 75 just before Blues For Allah ❤

[@d.banerjee4777]

I had to rewind to 3:10 four times today.

[@jamesschmidt2817]

So many dead songs where I do this because I just gotta hear it again lol. Despite Jerry no longer being around and the original Grateful Dead no longer playing, we sure are privileged in this day and age.

[@JeremyIlenin-mb3mk]

😂

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

[@darrenkrivit6854]

Happy New Year y'all ✌️♥️🎶

[@yukyukfactory575]

Sittin' plush with a royal flush, aces back to back 🌄

[@jameslauth544]

Oh hell yeah!!! 😊

[@littlejimeeeerr]

Bob is an amazing dude. And he looks good, and sounds great. And he kept the song together and kicked ass,, the band was all over the place,, that was just Bob. Tony just don’t have anyone to connect with. All the guys are great too, not ripping on them, everyone better than me,,, but that was Bob and it was cool that he still does that

[@stfnjng]

THIS VERSION IS SO LIGHT AND AIRY, FLUFFY AND SUCH...

[@JeremyIlenin-mb3mk]

Yup I was in there

[@gratefuljr]

Great concert. I also like 12/31/76. Samson and delilah. Sirius is running new years shows now. All great

[@justinshort1087]

Happy New Weir!

[@elmoblatch9787]

It's kind of astonishing to see how Jerry aged from mid 1977 to the end of 1978. Seems more like five years than a year and a half. It's true they played so many live concerts and no doubt the hard drug use worsened. Wow. I love the music, but I wish we could have had modern addiction counseling back in the 1970s. For selfish reasons, I think it could have led to better new songs from 1979 on. Alas, I am content with what we have and "grateful" indeed.

[@easglass2289]

Thank you. Happy new year!

[@bradleydavis5198]

Excellent

[@kevincleary9134]

That's how I remember them

[@raddadray7535]

[@bigbossman7991]

Oh wow!! We haven’t seen this a million freakin times or anything!!! 🙄 GIVE ME THE KEY TO THE VAULT!!!!!!!!

[@kellahella5286]

Just not the same without Jerry. RIP Brother.

[@Trifelivin]

The torch carries on ...

Wow

[@tiascott317]

My very favorite is ripple

[@Tom-tk3du]

For whatever reason I didn’t follow these guys back then. So many other great groups to follow I guess. Can’t say I really “followed” anyone in particular.

[@planetarytiger]

hi!

[@rickc661]

ahh, the 'good 'ole days'. there is a concert movie, actually was in theaters, '76 I think. a good version of ' Morning Dew'. a Bonnie Dobson tune related to the movie ' On the Beach' which will rattle Yer brain.

[@dougpotosky4102]

Hey Dead cover bands! Maybe you guys can figure out something else too play. This is perfection and no one will ever top or equal this. Remember you can never copy the deep soul the Dead had. And it was also a reflection of society and the times folks where living in. " Happy New Year Everyone " 2023

[@justinjacob508]

❤️⚡️💙☠️

[@acratone8300]

Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand, Just like Billy Sunday, ina shotgun ragtime band, Just like New York City, just like Jericho, Pace the halls and climb the walls, get out when they blow. Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose. Just like Jack and Jill, papa told the jailer One heat up, and one cool down, nothin' for the tailor. Just like Jack and Jill, mama told the sailer One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor. Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose. I'm gonna sing a hundred verses in ragtime, I know this song, it ain't never gonna end. Gonna march you up and down along your county line, Take you to the leader of a band. Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack, Sittin' plush with a royal flush, aces back to back. Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein, Clank your chains and count your change, and try to walk the line. Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose. I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime, I know this song, it ain't never gonna end. Gonna march you up and down the local county line, Take you to the leader of a band. Good-bye mama and papa Good-bye Jack and Jill The grass ain't greener The wine ain't sweeter Either side of the hill. Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose. Ramble on Rose.
