You know, I'm not even a musician and just about most of the time I can't relate to the things you're explaining. But..what I love watching, is someone discovering music that I've been enjoying for many years. The things you explain have something SO important for aspiring musicians to pick up on. These guys weren't always on fire. Yes there are shows where it feels forced, they're not on the same groove, or one/multiple members are "off". BUT..when they're on it, they're ON IT. That quality of the music interlacing, hearing the bass, Bobby's sometimes substantial rythym contribution, and Jerry overtop of all of it. That sound, the complexity of it, when it all fits together, it will take you places. I've driven hours on the highway lost in a show, singing along, and just like great conversation, realized I've just been in a time warp, and that's my exit coming up. Its why there's so many deadicated fans, why we love this music so much. And musician or not it's really fun watching someone who knows music break it down and explain to people why it's so wonderful. Keep up the great work Mike!

The song’s original 7/4 time signature was conceived by Weir using a metronome-like device known as a Trinome. The song’s structure was pieced together by self-described “shards of stuff in seven” Weir had been working on with a riff that he developed during a band rehearsal. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann took Weir’s at-the-time fascination with 7/4 and further developed the rhythm to give the LP’s lead track its “groove.” “Bobby came and showed me ‘Estimated Prophet’ at rehearsal,” Kreutzmann explained to Alan Paul in 2015. “And he had it going, ‘one, two, three, four, five, six, seven … ‘one, two, three, four, five, six, seven …’ I said, ‘Bobby, that’s no groove, That’s not working.’ I went home on a rainy night and stood in front of my fireplace by myself, rocking my body back and forth and counting and thinking. And I went, ‘Wow. Why don’t we make it half time and make two bars of seven into a 14? So it’s seven doublets and you come down on an even number!’ So we play sevens in bars of two; phrasing it that way is much more musical. That’s how I gave ‘Estimated Prophet’ groove. [sings the beat] The half time is the end of four, which takes you to a new seven.”

Setting aside the incredible history of the band and all the cultural aspects of it (all of which are fascinating subjects in and of themselves), and looking solely at the music they created show after show, year after year, decade after decade. So many layers, so many facets, never the same song twice, never the same show twice. Thank the dancing bears and dark stars for Michael and all his hard work-making guitar come alive for so many, and keeping the Dead relevant and alive for a whole new generation!

As "Not-the-biggest-Dead-fan-in-the-world", this is absolutely my favorite song from Jerry and the band. Thanks for reminding me of this. Quarantine is the perfect time to revisit some vinyl that hasn't hit the turntable in a few years and 'Terrapin Station' feels like it would be about right as the thunderstorms blow through Long Island. EDIT: Your reaction videos on Billy Strings and Sturgill Simpson make me think that you might enjoy a listen to Jerry's 'Shady Grove' album. As much as I'm a *HUGE* fan of Thin Lizzy and Metallica, the cover of 'Whiskey in the Jar' from 'Shady Grove' will always be my favorite. Jerry and David Grisman truly nail the tune.

Trying to follow those guys around a guitar has taught me so much.

Trust me, the deadheads know the odd time signatures. You could always see it in the dancing of the crowd. There is also the eleven, really odd. Also new potato caboose from ‘69 shows has a section that is thirteen. Playin in the band is ten which isn’t odd but still strange. The reason these recordings are so clear is they are from the famous series of “Betty boards.” Recordings made by Betty Cantor right from the soundboards. They started to be traded sometime in the 80s and were the first really good recordings most people had.

I normally don't listen to the Grateful Dead but I am definitely going to set aside some time to listen to their live concerts. I recently saw your Kacey Musgraves video and am happy that we share the same sentiments towards her. She is the best and also you might consider checking out her husband's work, Ruston Kelly. He is also a fantastic singer-songwriter. Assuming you still take requests, I would love to see you do a lesson on her Golden Hour track. It could be the live version or the studio version. The acoustic guitar playing on that record is unreal but especially on Golden Hour. Thanks for the videos and the lesson.

Hey Michael, this is the coolest series on KZbin! I’ve been following along since before you started doing Dead videos but am a total deadhead and love every minute of your analysis. If you ever want to continue this whole show approach after you finish with Cornell, the Veneta OR 72’ show is one of their greatest concerts of all time and just so happened to be captured in video. The bird song, dark star and China > rider are out of this world, and it is a unique view into a unique time. A free concert in the heat of summer in 1972, can you even imagine the joy?! Also, legend has it the whole band was getting “experienced” for that show, which was a rare occasion after the late 60’s.

Another excellent walk through. A few thoughts... 1) Grab a Micro-Tron IV - $280, darn close and stage-reliable. 2) Years back (about this time I think) there was a Guitar Player interview with Jerry where he's asked about a previous comment he'd made about "mastering the neck" - basically your triads mini-tutorial, 3) there is an interview in one of the many "Dead" books where, I think, Bobby, mentions that they spent weeks woodshedding The 11 and other odd time signatures so they had plenty of riffs and fills to slot into those tunes, and 4) that whole outlining the chords, chromatic movement, and the diminished (and minor 6th of course) goes straight back to Gypsy Jazz and of course Jerry, Les, Chet, and hundreds of others in those couple generations all alluded to his influence... so maybe a Django reaction sometime?

the song is actually a portrait of an amalgamation of a number of very specifically similar fans. they would come up to bobby and explain to him why the whole purpose of the grateful dead was to speak directly to them personally, and they each had these arcane theories about lyrics and events and the timing of shows, etc. so when weir & barlow wrote it, the musicality of it had to reflect that.

Ah yes - what we used to call "Bob's chord lake" - many of his compositions feature deeply complex and counter-intuitive passages like this! The Jerry solo reamained 4x14 beats until the December 77 shows, when they became 16x14... the most exciting Jerry solos for this song for me are those in 1978 and early 1979, when this expanded terrain was still new to him - later on I find he starts to play this section a bit predictably.

“ It’s the craziest stuff ever” describing the change. makes your head spin ..🤣😂. That was the Dead’s intention to bring fun weirdness to live audiences across the country. They designed their own style of music .. Loved this lesson.. thanks Michael you’re great ❤️💥🔥👏👏👏

Wow, it's so weird...I've loved this song since Terrapin Station days and never really thought about the tie signature. But you are right, it's clearly in 7+7! I love how the second 7 shifts the emphasis over to the second beat...thanks for alerting me : )

My band had a quarantine gig 3 days ago, opening for Royal Bliss doing a Tom Petty tribute. Man, it was so fun to get back on stage. Of course the bar was in total COVID mode, but still the crowd had so much fun, as did we. I hope we can continue despite the pending danger. Oh, and I got my masters at Cornell...but much after this.

I've always felt that this song is very much in that Hunter-esque vein of intentionally open lyrics of darkness and light. The desolate "my time's comin'; been so long I felt this way; don't worry about me", etc. to the glorious burnin' shores of California, rising up to paradise. Finally, he reaches the full potential of his "power" , calling down the thunder in the bridge. And weir, expertly blends these lyrics with his amazingly weird chord changes. I think the weirdness was, as you said, intentional. It really captures the mood of all of the sides of this Prophet. Great song, great analysis. Thanks!

I've been waiting for you to get to this tune, to explain the why it is so great. My love for reggae and dead combine like voltron - then there are the lyrics, and Phil, of course. Jerry's leads are like light streamers- like you said, bright and guiding. Totally enjoyable funkiness.

Something I thought was really cool when I discovered the "seven count" was that the drummers would usually hit a ride cymbal or cowbell everytime I'd count "one, two three, four, five, six seven" ding-ding!

Excellent, thanks again for another great breakdown. Been on this train for a long time, over 30 years and a musician as well, your analysis is always interesting, and it's been fun watching you get flipped at the high points. Keep it up! I must say, I feel you have been holding out, waiting to go through one of the greatest gems in this show, the Jack Straw. No knock against anything else in this show, I've been listening to this show for decades, but this Jack Straw stands alone. It's unlike any other version of that song and is fantastic. The flow, the vocals, the whole band. Dynamics are crazy, from low to high and back again. It really fulfills the feel of the song lyric, esp at the last solo, of a couple of outlaws, and what's going on in the mind of one of them as he stays up all night deciding if he's going through with killing his partner. I think you'll find a lot to work with, can't wait (hint hint). Peace brother...

The entire rhythmic phrase IS 14. That was baked in. The drummers came up with that. By grouping two sets of 7 into 14, they could play an even-feeling groove over it that would make it work better for western ears. The rest of the band cuts up that rhythm any way they like, and part of what makes it so interesting is that the bass and the guitars/vocals are emphasizing different parts of the breakdown into threes and fours (or twos). If you listen, and count 14, you'll hear the whole phrase. And if you know the history of this band, you know they had been working on odd time signatures for years. "The Eleven" debuted in 1968. And odd time was often employed in jams. This was not random. The band spent quite a bit of time rehearsing odd time signatures, so that they would all feel comfortable with this mode. Estimated Prophet was just a latter-day extension of this work.

The best Estimated is from 7/8/78 at the Red Rocks. The first solo by Jerry is one of the best he ever did. Bob's vocals are incredible, Shouting "AND MIGHT AND GLORY GONNA BE MY NAME "YEAH THEY GONNA LIGHT MY WAY !!!! The best !!!

I remember being at shows when Bobby was doing his vocal riffing at the end of the song and someone on the board would fade it left and right, front and back of the arena which can’t be captured on tape but it was amazing... it’s such an odd and creative song

Yes OMG I remember one from Toronto in 1987 where they played with crazy effects on Bobby's vocals spiraling around the amphitheater. So trippy but I never heard it done to quite that extent again. Then out of a wild Bobby and Brent jam they brought a Harley on stage for space miked with crazy fx and it felt like the stadium was lifting off. If you hear the recording you'll hear Bobby sing "my words fill the sky with flame, check it out" because the sky was on fire with the most amazing sunset. Best days of my life.

Michael Moon .. that’s awesome, I was on the floor in the tapers section at the spectrum in Philly when I first heard it and it was overwhelming my senses, it was stunning. Another mind blower was when they played at the Garden in NYC and they broke out incredibly loud train horn/whistle, blew me away

I loved the skipped album sound they would incorporate from the board. Theres so much more then instruments, creating these vibes. I taped for 20 years, when I went to 4 mics and a mixer, I caught the fade you speak of, on tape. If you listen to a quality, muti spreaker, surround you can catch it.

Jed Tenessee ...no shit?... that would be pretty cool to hear that again but it might be a longshot. Between finding the right recording and a good stage performance that would be something.
