Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders - Positively 4th street (1973) Live | REACTION/REVIEW

[@chrisdurham6517]

Jerry shows were a great, secret escape. I love the Dead, but a small theatre with Garcia likely set the bar for perfection in my life. Thanks for the reaction, man.

"You're killing me, Smalls," The music you've picked this time is stuff I never thought I like. When people say this or that is something they never knew they needed. I didn't understand, until this song. I met my best friend in 1978 and then in 2010 & we started to work together. Everything fell apart. I knew what happened, but I couldn't voice it. Then you "made" 😊 me listen to this! This is one of the best songs I ever heard. Not just because of the lyrics, the music is incredible too. Thanks. ❤

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY covers a Bob Dylan song like Jerome John Garcia, and his friend Merl Saunders. I have this CD album on my wall, with a self-acquired Merl Sunders autograph inside the front cover. On the Bass is John Kahn, of course, with Bill Vitt on Drums, and Merl on a Hammond B3 Organ. Thank You for playing this, an all time favorite.

Jerry and Merle are pure magic.

[@carlos_herrera]

That final break, with the guitar solo then the electric mandolin, just kills

[@josephmoodler2711]

Jerry playing the guitar like a mandolin towards the end. A connection to his roots in bluegrass.

[@JohnIrwin-rf3di]

Actually that is his good buddy Dave Grisman. Fits in perfectly!

Dude. I’m glad someone did a reaction to this one finally

[@paulprendergast3184]

A great collaboration. Jerry and Merl played together a lot. This is a Dylan song. They did a great cover of Jimmy Cliff's The Harder They Come.

[@things.mostlytrue]

great cd

[@billacikalin8108]

So good watching you digging this and feeling the music.

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

A cover of a Bob Dylan song. It sounds so good! Thank you very much Biz

You have definitely gotten on the bus my friend!!!

[@rmhanseniii]

Man, he’s really getting down with the deep cuts. 👍

[@GratefullyDead]

@Biz is putting in work. He loves the dead and Jerry. But he preaches that is still too new to be 100 head. But he loves 100 of the music so far,,

[@rmhanseniii]

@@GratefullyDead i’m not surprised of that… A lot of people suggest songs from shows that are just not good. There’s a lot of bad dead out there you just have to know what to listen to

[@GratefullyDead]

We have built the ultimate dead and JGB collections. Biz has em all now. But these copyright fees kill creators sometimes. I don’t know. I’m just on the bus reaching out

Biz is you a Dead Head now! I’ve been one going on 45yrs! It’s music and a way of life!✌️☮️

No one covered Dylan better than Jerry. These Keystone shows with Merle were great.

Wow...

Beautiful cover of a great Bob Dylan song. Next listen to Bob do it. I Miss Jerry ✌🏻

[@barbarascotto3873]

Bonnie Raitt at 7:27!! Love the Jerry Garcia Band. My favorite JGB Dylan cover is "Simple Twist of Fate". Please react to that!

Tough Mama is my favorite JGB Dylan cover

I almost skipped this as I have never been a big fan of Bob Dylan or the Grateful Dead - gasp !!! I know that seems sacreligious coming from a girl of the 60/70's. I don't dislike either, just always felt - meh 🥱. HOWEVER, I loved this cover of a well known Dylan song. Of course the lyrics are genius - Dylan's a great poet; i loved the softer, more sensitive vocal, and the instrumentals - the guitar solos and was that a mandolin I hear towards the end? I am going to have to reset my opinions of the Dead and/or Garcia. Perhaps I just didn't ever hear good songs 🤔, or maybe I've matured a bit? Anyway, I'm glad I listened and thank you to whoever requested this. BTW - I don't know if this is just urban legend, but I always heard that Dylan wrote this about Joan Baez who he used to be close with before they had a falling out. Perhaps some fan knows the story??

[@thesecretjewishspacelaser9959]

That’s Jerry making his guitar sound like a mandolin. Checkout an After Midnight-> Eleanor Rigby > After midnight from 1980.

Email him your best live crispy sbd performance of one of your fav dead or JGB tunes jam. Slap him 5 or 10 bucks. Picks a live Cumberland and edushare in love all off us. All at same time. Hi first smile on the right parts of jams is the magic

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

I just got lost in this one

[@krypticalenvelopment]

it was often said that "Grateful Dead" was a type of religion - well if that was the case this it was Jerry Band that took us to church - try this cover of a Bonnie & Delaney tune "Lonesome and a Long Way From Home" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5rNZWd6oL56j6ssi=jRvC7gg9Sv1jmLZI enjoy

[@treydog317]

IMO, it does not get any better than Jerry & Merl. And John Kahn on bass. Next check out “keepers” live at keystone vol 1, or “roadrunner” September 1 1974

[@GratefullyDead]

Oh shit!! Back up the system cuz here come the JGB and Dead heads! It is commonly known that WE CANNOT control or emotions regarding this very of Bobby Dylan’s masterpiece with heaven on earth legend Merk Saunders taking this version next level into IUR and now YOUR HOF!!

[@alphajava761]

Nicely done. It's interesting to hear Jerry deliver the song vocally different than Bob. Bob's delivery is like a middle finger in the face, Jerry's delivery has this passive pain to it.

No way, I've been checking out your old Bob Dylan reactions for the last 30 mins or so, didn't get a notice for this one.
