Grateful Dead Instrumental Jam PITB Live @ RFK Stadium 1973

[@Spherian7]

RFK Sunday 6 10 73. Went to hundreds of GD shows... this really was the greatest. Last great wave of the Psychedelic revolution, and people came from all over the USA for the 2 day affair. This was also before Maple Leaf Wilson went to India to find a cannabis type that could be grown inside under artificial lights. He came back with indica, a very stoney, depressant type. But here at RFK it was all sativa - the psychedelic, up form... and everyone was on acid, too. (Indica ruined many a concert for numerous years. It was ok when the music was up, but the sec the Deed went into, say, a Stella Blue, the bottom would drop out of the audience. This was finally resolved when the founder of the Danish Seed Bank began to mix indica with sativa to produce very effective indoor growing plants, but with much of the indica aspect restored. Hooray !!)

Youre absolutely right on both counts,man..Apart from fine,home made hash,i like the dead when im lifted by c.sativa. Sadly theyre all too rare these days as many folks want the faster,heavier(boring)indicas..I appreciate the mind expanding properties of good c.sativa esp with a good Dead psychedelic improv,like we have here...vibes bro.

[@Spherian7]

RANKIN DANNYDREAD Keep up the wise work and share the knowledge, dear friend.

[@barocasrobin]

I was there too.

[@dphil239]

My Dad went to this show for the Allman Brothers and left a Deadhead..

[@jakenash9376]

I had no idea the Grateful Dead were made from solidified magma! That just adds to the legend!

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

I was at this show and 6/9/73 Sound is amazing Kevin thank you!

[@ogloglson1141]

Bobby is great on this one. And for the record, this 73. 73-06-10, RFK Stadium it's available at the archive, as is the rest of this show. set 1 of this show is great, set 2 is just magic

[@StanleyPacion]

What else but a great moment in the history of American culture, music. Louie Armstrong, Duke Ellington, where else do we find a match in composition and sheer virtuosity. The Grateful Dead song catalog and their grand output of music over the years impresses me more and more.

[@jerrygarcia2092]

woh bobby actually is playing a crazy chord progression in this one

[@MattCuddyMusic]

This is fantastic.

[@jamespacelove6650]

this isn't from 72 though. it's from RFK stadium in 73 73/06/10

[@WiccanPrincess87]

Very good music. Thank you for posting this. My guy would love to hear this. Doesnt have a computer tho.

[@jamespacelove6650]

this is from RFK stadium, 73/06/10

[@kx9x]

This is most definitely Playing In The Band from 6/10/73.

[@andersdejenfelt]

@iJelly I am just sitting here grooving, imagining the good'ol times, Being in the crowd, flowing to the music feeling the sweat on my body and the breeze in the air, the music lifting my soul to new dimensions of being, seeing. Yes, the colors were changing back then man!

[@jrc7660]

❤73

[@gregoryswift9573]

JRC76 man i love the show at Dane. Coliseum. That setlist is like a greatest hits

[@jakethesnake576]

Wish I could have seen these guys live, especially there early stuff, Thanks for posting great recording. One of my favorites is the unreleased movie, "Sunshine Daydream" the whole thing is lurking here on youtube somewhere find it and download it before they take it down!

[@jasonflaherty1114]

This is very similar to my fav playin from Veneta Oregon 72

[@conundrum111]

It's light waves, man. They're evolving!

[@klyshkonizer]

@andersdejenfelt Yea man that's the real way to experience music, you cant get that feeling from all that mainstream garbage.

[@michaelwatkins9581]

If I could have a wish it would be that it really were only 4 people who just don't get it. I mean even if you never got to see them live sometimes "canned music" has the oppur- tunity to deliver something truly beautiful if not inspiring EVEN. IMO arguably one of the best bands to lend them selves to that chance. Ohhhh.. my RFK memories some of the best shows with opening acts too. I remember waiting on the mail just to see who the special guest was going to be WOW even the tickets were special

[@Hippiedudeful]

this is so freaking groovy

[@johnmccabe7645]

there for my bday weekend, both shows, drove from ohio on the previous Wednesday. long long shows, perfect sound, windowpane, and women.

[@gorrilaglueTommy]

best band of all time i cant stop listening to the dead some thing about the noise and how they play i ve had a dead binge for about a year cant stop

[@andersdejenfelt]

I could swear it seems like the picture is changing colors

[@PinkFloydrulez]

i like how you cut right into the good stuff

[@rebuttalc2075]

Pitb jam, this is a guess but I'd say February or March of 73 ”wake of the flood era” with jazzy drums and the rest of the boys sounding tight as ever in their jams

[@ronayotte3571]

It was a weekend to remember...

[@noradowling3536]

Love me some ..JAM..!!

[@andersdejenfelt]

@JimSVoit So you can see that too, man? Groovy dude!

[@NewYorkYankeeboy]

just listened to this start to finished and now I feel so confused... yet awesome. What year is it?

[@coreyhau]

yep. thanks for posting the date.

[@unmeshkhadilkar306]

Thank you Kevin. This is wonderful

[@peterdeadheads6809]

Grazie Jerry

[@JL-yq9xn]

This song is Playing in the Band, RFK 6/10/73

[@jambandfreak1]

nice

[@AvirtualSwitzerland]

@andersdejenfelt ....It is! You should see what it can do live...

[@ronhulka8654]

And to think that a band such as this once did exist...

[@goopunched]

Playin in the band

[@Chrispypullen]

ahhh 8:30am, good dead jam, start the day

[@adamhager5041]

Amazing. Thanks for posting

[@afriendomine4586]

Those who say 73, and maybe RFK sound accurate. I heard 10/18/72 and Bobby has more fuzzed tone. And the watery-toned Garcia, and Keith playing electric piano here so definitely sounds like mid 73.

[@JimSVoit]

@andersdejenfelt because it is! :D

[@ElFlakoRompanTodo]

what about a joint?

[@MsLuke08]

Not Fox Theatre, in that show they don't go into the PITB reprise after the jam, intead they do a little drum break and head into Dark Star -> Morning Dew before the reprise.

[@garbobnewman920]

haha nice

[@gregmenniges5963]

Favorite PITB of all time

[@jedp4811]

f--kin crazy...totally insane...

[@Iliek]

truckloads of LSD

[@victormarchesin1]

im right now on lsd men and this is so beautiful damn

[@MrGene524]

Every drug was available there

[@walnyc]

I went in 1979 and everybody turned into skeletons ..it was great a religious experience.

[@djputzo]

Nick Hahn....we are on the same page!

[@chefbo297]

Saw this show..

[@jltret05]

the ole' flashback, eh? i hear ya.

[@jamesgalyon8812]

for my friend Jason

[@xhellabentx]

even though i respect your opinion i believe theres an excellent live complete video show on YT at alpine valley 89 i think it was jam wise i can see your point though on here thanks for posting

[@gdpacnw5126]

13:14 Jam ends, Playin' reprise

[@tzq5fx]

@The1GJG1 my favorite

[@jerimaiahvick482]

GD always and forever. used to listen to pink Floyd 10 years ago when I was a noob

[@muddywatters4886]

+Jeremiah Vick what's wrong with floyd? their awesome. listen to ummgaumma (live album), and your soul will command you to apologise :D

[@maynord1420]

+muddy watters lol dad got me that album when I was 13 for Christmas been jamming all these 60's bands since 2 years of age

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

+Jeremiah Vick I am a pink Floyd fanatic who loves the grateful dead

[@75sliver]

I happen to think that the Dead and Pink Floyd are two sides of the same coin. The Dead's British counterpart. Both bands starting off very experimental and progressing into great musicians. But also two distinct different bands.

[@mapiliofamooni4247]

fuck off

[@pegasusdesire]

*

[@AvrahamAvigail]

nice trip ...

[@erljay33]

nice choice...

[@headdead10]

playing in the bandd jam??

[@andersdejenfelt]

@JimSVoit So you can see that too, man?

[@headdead10]

@PinkFloydrulez just making sure

[@israellamar]

nada. It's 10-18-1972 find it on archive.org.

[@awsomeman999999999]

mean while the Floyd is jamming in pompeii'

[@ClearSiteDesign]

i think because you said that, there are now 2 dislikes (no it wasn't me)

[@maosaytounge49]

what makes you be so certain?

[@stonahmusiclover]

Its probably the acid....

[@PinkFloydrulez]

@headdead10 uh huh and don't you know it brotehr

[@senismarsenis9678]

@andersdejenfelt :DDD

[@writer125]

So whats the date for this jam, please??

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

is this from europe?

[@xianshep]

PITB was perhaps the Dad's best early-70s jam song, the jams of which were always ruined for me by Donna's caterwauling at their end. Sitting here at 10:55 hoping to be spared in a few minutes. (Nope! 13:14! Ugh! Even the band is thrown completely off by it at 13:23.)

[@jimmyfighera1495]

Hardy remember but do in a way ???

[@twilight11]

2 people don't like to play in the band

[@coolkittyjn909]

THERE'S A SUGAREE FROM THIS… DO U HAVE THAT?

[@marksaltveit]

I dunno, 3 and half minutes in I'm bored silly. When does it get good? They got way too noodly after PigPen died. Give me the Other One 4/28/71 over this a thousand times.

[@sweetpeajunglebean]

+Mark Saltveit i hear ya. 73-74 era jams don't have that same driving sense of tension that made late 69-71 era jams more forceful and compelling. the jazzy freedom of the single drummer still makes these jams wondrous to behold, though.

[@commontater9785]

+Mark Saltveit Sure, that The Other One you love is great. Yes, the Dead got noodly at times. This jam is not noodly, it is another kind of music from your TOO. Relax your mind, it is not dying.

[@garbobnewman920]

+sweetpeajunglebean hell yah billy the jazz man

[@tonydanis1480]

They could get noodly, but, if you could see this transcribed into a score, you'd see they're doing some very complex, structured stuff. The trick here is to try and pick out Weir in this recording (which is tough)n and then you can see how disciplined and non-random this is..............

[@adrianpeters2413]

It gets good at the start.....then gets better, oh well millenium, please stayed bored,as sure as hell in a bucket you will be,

[@buildakicker]

1 dis = 1 hater.

[@rebuttalc2075]

Pitb jam, this is a guess but I'd say February or March of 73 ”wake of the flood era” with jazzy drums and the rest of the boys sounding tight as ever in their jams
