What it sounds like when you care about what you do
NAILED IT
Where you wind up when you follow your heart.
I was born that night.
how can you tell?
Found this show the first time I ever got stoned...moment is time...will never forget..
There are certain jams/solos etc from this band that give me chills…it’s when it all comes together…just the right reverb…people disregard the Dead because they don’t “get it” or think you have to be a stoner to listen…greatest American rock band of the last half of 20th century
I had this on cassette back in mid 90s. My buddy never understood why i loved the port chester 71 shows he had. He didn't listen to everything and missed this gempiece
I was about 18 miles away in the Bronx and 2 months in gestation feeling the energy. I was born 7 months later and the Grateful Dead has been part of my being ever since.
51st Anniversary today. Just read an interview with Phil from 97 where he heard it for the first time and it does to him the same thing it always does to me: brings a tear to my eye. 1:24 is overwhelming and what they do as a collective until the end is beyond words. This right here fam...this is music from the GODS.
Its like Jerry is plucking strings of Gold, hard-wired to release the dopamine in our brains! So GrAteful every single time Im blessed to listen!
Gary Fitz yeah, I've had that happen too!!
Snap....synapseisms .. snap
I still remember when my friend played this for me off of the So Many Roads box set. Just stunningly beautiful, one of my favorite pieces of music ever. So joyous to listen to every single time.
Bobby's playing is sympathetic for Jerry to soar over.
Always
This lulled me to sleep one Sunday night back in '91. What's awesome is I had a tape rolling. Thank you David Gans.
The Grateful Dead hour!
This was Mickey Hart's final Grateful Dead show until October 20, 1974...
Billy better without dragging that lame-ass Hart around.
Much thanks. Was just looking for the dates. ✌🏽
And it hardly showed😒
I forget that he wasn't with them in Europe or Watkins Glen.
It must have been amazing at this show the audience must have been absolutely stunned when they played this one off jam
This sparkles! What a delight! Better than chocolate!
most amazing piece of music
1.40 in
The transition at 1:24 where they all fall in line brings hair on my back to rise to this day. Bobbys riffs are fat and juicy and jerrys cuts are spot on, phil driving the buss.... This is music is purest form.
agreed, that's the moment. it's pure telepathy and totally awesome.
Brent Fed most Definately.
From the start the drummers are on lock.........
@@trinocular And this was the famous telepathy/ESP experiment show.
This is taken out of context and really takes away from the feeling when u listen to the full version , this is from a dark star >warf rat> dark star from 2 -18 -71 amazing amazing version. If u like this 2 second snipit ull love the real thing!
i actually like this excerpt. sometimes on really long jams, like the complete ds>wr>ds would be, my attention span wavers and i just don't comprehend some of the music. it's nice to chew on a section that's broken out of the larger context sometimes, maybe when i don't have 45 minutes to spare for the whole thing.
@@petercollins5861 lol right on
At 4:53 he plays same lick from Fade Away/GDTRFB from 4-5-71
@@petercollins5861 I realize you not understanding the music if you’re not a musician. I have been playing guitar since 1968 and believe me The Dead play complicated music but it all is based on music theory. Check out Mike Palmisano , he explains how Jerry and the band did when they played. If you like any of the music,then you’re on the Bus. 🖖🏽
@@stephentmarksberry4484 true, i'm not a musician. i saw 15 or 20 shows starting in 84, when at my second show they broke out Dark Star for their encore at the Greek Theater. i hardly understood how significant that was until later on, but i certainly dug it.
This first set could be my favorite ever!
Simply spectacular
hear and now and forever
Excellent recording.
Down the damp cavernous dark of the great ark Winterland
Slave children drive forward to turn the wheel against the sea
Ground out of time into diamonds
From somewhere above us, a steady storm...
The Grateful Dead
Not sure why, but in my head I read that in the voice of Bill Graham.
i stayed with the GD one fantastic weekend of music in 1969 and it was this theatre! so of course i love the video, and wish it were earlier (1969-1970) so maybe i'd time travel back into the girl who was 19 and FREE!
sunshinenblues I would give anything to have been there having fun with the dead especially bobby. he was so gorgeous. you lucky girl.
Ah yes - Capitol Theatre, Port Chester. I saw Jethro Tull do a Premier performance here, of Aqualung (not yet released). I'm sorry I missed the Dead there, but caught up with them in California, after they were back from their '72 Europe tour. Oh so excellent.
The Capitol is by far the best theater I have ever seen concerts in. And I've seen many concerts in many theaters! There's just something surreal about the Capitol; I swear you can still feel the energy in the air that the Dead left behind all those years ago. I remember reading once that during the '70 Dead shows at Port Chester, the staff would point a flashlight at you until you extinguished the cigarette in your hand. However, if you were smoking a joint they would shine the flashlight on you only until you passed it to someone else, and then they'd leave you alone. A little BGP philosophy on the East Coast, I love it. And relars52: have you ever heard of the Port Chester Resurrection Project? If not you should do a search for it online. Shouldn't take much to find that Tull show you mentioned along with The Kinks, Janis and a ton of other great artists excellently recorded by someone who worked at the Capitol in those days.....
Throughout the entire first 12 years of The Grateful Dead, I hear so many jams where Jerry is effectively teaching Bobby the Rhythm parts, I mean the rhythm parts that would contribute so much to furthering the improvisational explorational musical logical physical radical (just kidding) and right around 1976-1977 Bobby has got his 10000 hours of Jerry's improvisational instructions - Jerry is actually the greatest Rhythm guitar Player ever in the history of our world - and perhaps the greatest teacher too - look how good Bobby got - (Jerry tolerating Bobby's elementary attempts to learn slide live) do you think Jerry "FANNED" because he was tired of waiting for the rest of the band to crescendo with him? Morning Dew @ Barton Hall is an example of Jerry not having to urge the band to crescendo with him - but they all were right there - look how that turned out!!! (MAGNIFICENT!!!) Jerry hit his 10000 hours of playing a stringed instrument very quickly because you hardly ever saw him without a guitar in his hand - so around 1969 he is ready for blastoff but the band is hardly able to catch up with him - Look at Phil's compellingly beautiful playing in this song - such an oddity for a Bass player - so beautiful - when I say Jerry is the best rhythm player ever - just re--listen to their live performances - especially before the heroin and cocaine got so toxic - forget after 1977 - Jerry must've had a seizure and a micro stroke the difference is so evident - and please forgive me if I only mention 1 other Rhythm player in Jerry's league - Alex Weir - who took his style from listening to James Brown (over and over) - then just flew with his own beautiful rhythms - cool last name by the way - have you ever just watched Jerry playing rhythm guitar during a song - nobody comes close... nobody (I never post anything because I am so fragile and lame when it comes to being easily hurt by people who take my comments personally - I know many people will be offended somehow by what I wrote - as some sort of affront to them and then they blast you with hate - so if you do not like what I wrote please just comment on what I wrote without harming me - we need to be nice to each other here - it matters) I love Bob Weirs music BTW - and about the resurgence of their collective joy in playing around 1989 - 1992 credit Jerry having a new baby daughter and a new bride (sorta) Keelin and Manasha. He was so refreshed by his short break from H and C and his new love of SCUBA in HAWAII!!! (I grew up there!!) so refreshed he wouldn't be embarrassed by his crappy post coma playing - so refreshed he invited Bradford and Bruce up there with him. He never could have enjoyed those guys 'properly' in the dirty dirty 80s - about the rhythm claims - listen to him play without a rhythm guy in JGB etc.... enjoy have a Beautiful Jam of a day - just watch his hands when he is doing a rhythm part or when he is playing Chuck Berry's stuff - just watch his hands then watch Bobby - Jerry is the coolest thing on wheels when he starts strumming..... btw you cannot unread what you just read so it might get you to slowly appreciate the validity of my assertions - maybe not right away - but later - when nobody is looking…..
just imagine how awesome you would play if you had 10000 hours of playing with the man Jerry Garcia...
Love this jam...
Beautiful
García era una joya invaluable , terrible musico excepcional !!!!!!!!!
the came like thunder chasing the rain
Betty, Betty, Betty...
gots da chillsssssssss
"Beautiful Jam"
Pranks for sharing!!!
I remember buying this 5-disc set so many roads. Before there was Napster LimeWire or iPods I played the s*** out of all five of those discs and yes this is a beautiful Jam.
YEP!! I stole that same box set from my sister when I was 14, it changed me.....
Yessss.
Loved that box set. If I'm remembering right it also had another great Jam on one of the discs. Jam out of Terrapin maybe?
Majestic....!
50 yrs
It certainly is!
Cap hallowed ground ever since.
According to deadbase this show had a lot of "firsts".
Bertha, Playing in the Band, Loser, Deal, Greatest Story Ever Told. What a monumental show.
Been going from about 1:30-3:30 for about an hour now. Sounds like a normal session
Capital Theater Port Chester NY
No doubt their most beautiful jam ever. The phrasing and dynamics have never been this perfect. However, I think there was another night when they sounded similar to this jam. Not as perfect as this, but a primitive precursor perhaps. From Harpur College, May 2, 1970. The middle section jam in the song Dancin’ in the Street - starting at the 4 minute 30 second mark and lasting over 6 minutes long. It’s the closest thing I’ve heard to this jam.

chilld for sure
grace
The peak of "Deadness".
Peak? I think that’s debatable
And they only did this once!!
happy birthday jerry
its called a beautiful day jam. played at least 3 or 4 times.Its one of those jams like the spanish jam tat sounded like it was ready for lyrics but not to be.
When else was it played?
It never was played again
Yeah tat,your effing head is that to say such things, oh well never mind, put some real tat on , anything after 1974 bar of course the dead,stupid mellinium I guess, oh yes heard this at least ,note for note many times ha ha ha.
I've heard the theme flirted with before, usually surrounding a dark star. Its magic
Adrian Peters what the hell did you jut say
What it's all about
Jerry.
For your friends that underestimate Jerry’s playing. Lol
Jerry*
1:24 brought me here. 3:19 answered the door. Hey! It's 0:55
*Jerry.
Is their anything better??
Keep looking, but I’ll agree it’s unlikely…..blessings from a fellow traveller.
Can't not get douche chills
This is the run where Mickey left the band.
vid ?
