Damn straight. I listened to the GD since 1974. It's the only music that keeps my heart& soul intact. I'm a amputee and I'm battling 4 different types of cancer on top of diabetes. Gerry & company is only music that keeps me on that path of rightousness

In my opinion, this is THE pinnacle version of the song. If you close your eyes, you can visualize the fog lifting from a metropolitan area's docks, on a gloomy fall morning, and August West sitting there on the ground next to a building.

@@Shepherds100 no music is “better” than the other and talking down on someone for the music they listen to is trashy. Jerry got hip hop wrong when he was alive but it has developed into a stunning art form. The development of hip hop and rnb is an evolution of the same Black music that gave us the Dead, so calling hip hop “crap” is ignorant and shitty tbh

The Deads music can transport to the days of gun slingers and gamblers or deep into your mind on a inter cosmic journey. Always leaving the listener to come to his or her own understanding. Thats why the dead never have and never will sound dated. And what Dead & Co is doing prove still creating beutiful music....Jerry eould be proud.

Phillip Reading i am a dead nubbie. But catching up. Truth be told, i am circling back, having not listened well in years past. Ripple is my current favorite. A song that makes me cry knowing where we could be as a people yet seeing how far we have fallen. I am sure to the GD connoisseur Ripple seems old and worn out. But thats only because we are old and warn out.

I agree. It’s Americana no matter what the delusional hippies have to say...most of these early tunes are in the center of american violence...I don’t get the love peace jive unless it’s unconsciously hooking on to its opposite ...which is in a way fascinating or revealing beyond any hippie claims.

Well that is a great statement that Graham made very poetic but....if your the only one who does something than you ipso facto are the best and worst simultaneously. But truly the quasi jazz improv approach to such a variety of styles was not only unique to them but ot still is to this day. PHISH and modern jam bands all lack the songs the soul and the multi instrumental simultaneously interweaving into each other improv style. This is because they based their efforts on listening to and feeding off each other in real time. "There is nothing like a grateful dead show".... another famous quote which stands out for it's sccuracy

Zappa was too smart (Yalie) for his own good. He spent most of his time entertaining himself in front of the rest of us. Anastasio is the same way. Garcia/Hunter weren't fascinated by themselves like Frank/Trey, they were fascinated by the world--the world we see and the world of possibility. And they shared that vision lovingly and brilliantly with us. These tunes will live forever.

@joedalessandro12069 жыл бұрын
+Chuck Howe Trey was humble enough not to try and pretend he could do what Jerry did. he left a lot of holes in those solos. Those were Jerry's songs and Trey honored them. If anything, I think Phil was being a bit of dick on fare the well, he does have an ego. That being said, Frank thought we were ALL idiots and he was probably right.

Wow! After all these years I figured out that I was at this show. I was part of a group of people from Vermont who protested the building of the Seabrook Nuclear Plant back in 1977. 1400+ of us were arrested and we were put in National Guard Amories. I still have the Time Magazine article on us, and I personally am in the picture that they used in the article. I just found it and noticed that it was in May of '77. I didn't have a ticket to the show, but the guy on the cot next to me told me that he did and that his girlfriend was supposed to go but things weren't working out for them, so he asked me if I wanted to go. SURE ! Miracle ! ... we got there and found that we had seats that were way in the back. I said, "follow me" and we made our way up front and got everyone up dancing and we danced the night away. I always remembered it to be a very special show.

I caught the tail end of their work in the early to mid 90's and in fact the 2nd to last show in Chicago(with Jerry). Wow, seems like yesterday but I guess 25 years ago. WTF!
