Jerry Garcia & Bob Weir - Ripple - 12/4/1988 - Oakland Coliseum Arena (Official)

[@laurelmarshall6903]

I took my 1st Guitar lessons on a nylon string Folk Guitar when I was 11 the summer of 1965 from "Bob". I didn't know what his last name was & it wasn't till about 20 years later when I finally realized "who" my teacher 'was'/"is".

I take it your from Redwood Atherton also?

[@frankcourtney6065]

This song... as I'm sure may be the case with many .. came across a stereo while I was in the midst of a massive campus with a massive sea of humanity hungering for home knowing full well ..... I was already there. God BleSs JeRrY

Jerry’s plucking and silvery voice, with Bobby’s rhythmic lullaby never fails to pull at those deep heart strings that show you the wonders of nature in the smallest things

[@jonirubbo2835]

[@elmoblatch9787]

It's great to see, but Jerry's voice is devastated at this point.

Jerry looks so sad and worn out there.... I love Jerry and the Dead so much it hurts to watch him suffer. :(

[@phlyers13]

It’s crazy to think he’s only 46 here.

[@mikehutton3187]

My favorite Dead song. My buddy who passed away recently, played the upright bass in our Jr. High band. He requested this song be played at his funeral and it was. Not a dry eye in the church.

No question

Right up there at the top too, Keith Richards & Mick Taylor

There is nobody in the same universe as Weir when it comes to rhythm playing. He invented his style.

BEST MEMORIES oF MY TEENAGE YEARS...! Top 10 All time fav - trust the Dead when even the sad songs are HAPPY

[@terrym5023]

I take solance in knowing that Jerry looks down at the current incarnation and sees 14 and 15 year old kids knowing every single word of the songs and has a big ole grin knowing the legacy won't ever die 😏

[@hammertime714]

Was dancing with a group of 14 year old girls at Boulder Dead an Co back in June and was amazed these teeny boppers knew almost every song.

"If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full, may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall, you fall alone If you should stand, then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home La da da da..."

I use ad blocker. Don't have all that advertising

Buy the video then instead of looking for a handout. Or just buy ad blocker service from KZbin. The Dead charged for plenty, we bought Jerry that fancy black BMW he had (and he deserved it cause he worked hard)👍⚘🎸✌

Saw Garcia and Grisman play it in 91. Beautiful rendition too with the mandolin

[@TheSentinel64]

As much as any gospel hymn is a call of and from the heart to the mystical this is certainly a secular hymn that does the same. I'm rapidly on the way to 60 years on the Little Blue Marble so you would think I would have been a fan of The Grateful Dead long ago but I really wasn't. The nice thing about growing old is sometimes wisdom shines through at the most unsuspecting times. A dear, dear friend of mine sent me this song that comforted her in a time of dreadful need. Thought I might need some too. And like that, whaddaya know....I'm a fan of the Dead. After all these years. But.....isn't that just the revelation that comes from timeless talent waiting to be rediscovered or discovered at all ? And isn't revelation the wellspring of the mystical? "The fountain that was not made by the hands of man" ?

I simply mentioned Jerry Garcia in another video of Billy Strings Jamming. I suggested the camera should never be off the soloist. I then offered Jerry with the Dead as a caveat as his solos sometimes go on forever. Not criticizing, love Jerry's guitar. But the algorithm decided I should see some Jerry Garcia videos. I'm OK with that.

I keep hearing all these cultural and social references in the dialogue of American TV shows about this band called The Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia and how cool and significant and relevant they are. " I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac " from Don Henley's " Boys of Summer " Americans rave on about how great this band is. So I was thinking, wow, they must be very good. You can't imagine my disappointment when I listened to their ' Greatest Hits ' album. All their songs sound like a variation of themselves. Dull and boring attempts at Roots n Blues. I don't know what all the fuss is about. They re-confirm that I have exquisite taste in music
