Grateful Dead - St. Stephen_Iko Iko_Not Fade Away_Sugar Magnolia 5-15-77

[@Kingfish179]

Sometimes I won't listen to the Dead for a while, but then I'll come back and hear a great, beautiful piece like this. It truly never loses its magic. Long live the Dead!

[@yuriwebboy]

Kingfish179 and that section between not fade away and sugar magnolia where they play every music that has been made by any band ever.

[@TheMasterTelevision]

For me, "awhile" = longer than 2 hours. The magics real, will not fade away!

[@peterthompson810]

Stop taking breaks Silly! Listen as often as terrapinly possible. Shake it to IT

[@stevenbennett9475]

I was at this show! It was a blur tho. The guy next to me gave me something that fogged my mind. I remember clearly crawling across the rafters of the Arena and sitting on Jerry's shoulder looking out at the audience. Thank you for posting

[@mickeyrooneysghost6917]

Holy smoke!!! Almost 40 years ago when tapers passed around lists of their shows, I got a cassette of a show that was only labeled as 'St. Louis'. Jerry played some amazing licks on Not Fade Away that have stuck in my end head for decades. When I saw this KZbin video, I listened and held my breath. Wow, there were those same licks being played!! I'm amazed and thankful for the good old GD!!!

[@Love18wheelz]

St. Stephen was the first song I ever heard from the dead. As far as I can recollect...haha

[@stacyblue1980]

Love and heart to anyone right now. If you need that kindness. Love conquers all. My gawd let us just help one another. ♥

[@jaykeddie1659]

feckin aye... man

[@michaelleeker7255]

I was there when I was 17 with my late cousin who passed away early. I am 55 now. Weird to hear music that I heard with him at the time. Like a time warp but thanks for adding this it is really cool !!

[@stacyblue1980]

[@mikelester6137]

1977 was one of their best years

[@TheMasterTelevision]

77-78 holds most of my favorite soundboards. Their energy can be felt half a century later

[@jpvega1]

4 in the morning and I can't sleep. so glad KZbin seems to have finally caught into my tastes by suggesting this. I really dig this version of st. stephen. lively, hinting at not fade away before slipping into iko. what a gem

[@gregvanderlaan]

Yes... This one is Excellent... It gets Totally Abstract after Not Fade Away... off into a world where ANYTHING is Possible... Donna And Bob Sing Together Superbly on Sugar Magnolia... and then in the Sunshine Daydream part... Everybody Rocks Out! Thanks for Finding This Gem...

[@garysmathers9629]

The tone to that envelope effect is perfect that's what I want to capture

[@kevinchristie9649]

[@kimockman1]

[@dubious1s]

I barely remember driving past the Arena just before it was torn down, must have been around 98 or 97 when I was about 10. Nice to be able to go back and listen to a show before my time, love the music.

[@robertthompson3941]

[@lisica8458]

Beautiful St Stephen. Wonderful contributions by Keith and Donna. Garcia sounds sharp.

[@justinvalente416]

The is the first sequence I ever heard on a bootleg tape, when I was 16. I was transformed and played that St Louis 5/15 tape until it broke. I only had this section of it as someone had taped over the rest of it by the time the tape made it to my possession, but this was enough to get me going lol

[@mojo5027]

Everytime i go on youtube theres a song og jgb or gd unknown to me. Its like king solomons mines

[@monopolymike1]

Or, King Solomons Marbles.

[@stacyblue1980]

How many years you been at it? I've been all about it for 10 or more years, I find the same thing as you. I can't believe how fortunate we are

Iko iko went from a song id never even listen to, just because I'd judge it based on its name, to a song where I'm telling out "HEY NOW! HEY NOW! IKO IKO AH NAY!"

[@kimockman1]

It translates to fuck the boss. Great song

[@UncleJutty]

Awesome

[@veek.6463]

[@wilfordbrimley1506]

Idk I just can’t vibe with st Stephen >nfa unless they do the 2nd half of st Stephen after going into nfa

[@michaelc.ateoate979]

sounds like they wanted the speed through these four songs and get backstage and do some blow

[@benmoore701]

Hell yeah it does, hard to blame them with Scarface amount of yak and Mac they had...

[@gamingXpoison]

idk about that. St. Stephen (incomplete) is five minutes, and this is one of the best versions. The first ever Iko Iko performed is only 3 minutes, because they played it in the NFA structure for its first performance. The NFA is 9 minutes, and while that isn’t long for this song (many versions reach 12+ from the 70s), 9 minutes isn’t really surprisingly short for this song. And Sugar Mag is 10 minutes, which is the usual. Not to mention they perform an almost 9 minute Uncle John’s Band encore.

[@roberthill799]

These ads for Republican hypocrites don’t blend well with Jerry and company!
