I remember watching this broadcast live on KQED 9, S.F.'s PBS station (the same place where I grew up watching Sesame Street!🐸) Home from college for Christmas... and Dead Shows!!! Miss you, Jerry!! Thank you for everything you gave us... 😘💕🎶

[@illadrobici]

Yes! I had been flipping around channels and landed on this that night. It was some kind of KQED xmas show, I think. Anyway, I remembered it because of the unusual lyric "sa-sa-la-do on the sa-la-sa-ree". I asked my brother the next day if he'd ever heard this particular song done. He said no. Fyi- first concert I ever attended: my mother took us to see Joan Baez at the cow palace. Last concert I ever went to? - the grateful dead at shoreline 1994. Nice bookends, I think.

Another good version... Jody Stecher: Turtle Dove (1977) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4a7qnR-aN2kbLc

[@PaulDeFelice]

The note to the Lomax collection is: Mrs Jones learned 'Turtle Dove' from her ex-slave grandfather, Jet Samson. The old people said this song of rejoicing was sung by the angels when the devil was put out of heaven, 'Sa-sa-la-do' being the solfege of this glorious refrain. This unique spiritual reflects in its many mysterious lines the mysticism of slave Christianity. [Southern Journey Georgia Sea Islands: Biblical Songs and Spirituals Vol 12 Rounder CD 1712] Lomax also records a conversation between Mrs Jones and himself about the song . She said she used to sing it with her grandfather when she was little and it was 'his song' - her grandfather died at the age of 105 in 1941. She said the song was sung at weddings wherein people jumped over a broom to marry. After slavery, people married by licence. There's a fine version on Jody Stecher's 'Going Up on the Mountain' which has recently been reissued on CD [Acoustic Disc ACD 39]. Stecher learned it from Mrs Smith Jones. He asked her about the mysterious words, 'Sasalado on Salasari', in the chorus: 'She had sung it on other occasions as 'Fa Sol La Do on Sol La Sa Ri' which is pretty close to solfege. "Doremi Falasido?", she asked. "Why I know what 'Doremi Falasido' means". She probably did too, but she never really said other than delivering a magnetic and elliptical soliloquy about Eden, gifts, speaking "in tongues" and how even the original songmaker did not know the meaning'." mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=35605
