@ 45 years ago, I was blaring Franklins in my bedroom EXTREMELY LOUD - then saw my mother in my doorway - thought she was yelling to turn it down - but she just started dancing - I'll never forget
Great story
The power of music
@@jodyneal4969 music is therapy
That story made my day
I was at this show (teaching in N.H.) with my son who is now 42. My POS husband couldn't get the time off. My son was young, still nursing and I was high as a kite on the energy, all the phone's hanging, dancing in the hallway which has incredible speakers. My son was in a front pack- missing nothing. Just when Jerry hit the line about a child shall ring that bell, a tall gentleman danced by and gave my son a small brass bell. Dude, if you're still out there, thanks and blessings- still got the bell. One of my favorite live shows ever & you were a big part of that- we are one.
That just made me tear up! xo
I mean, Jon Mayer 's a great guitarist and everything, but freaking Jerry is a legend! Every once in a while he's just go on a guitar rampage, just shredding! Jerry will always and forever be my "write-in" candidate for the President of the United States of America...
i voted for jerry that year a write in but it felt good waited on line for 3 days it was a pisser good old days good shows
And don't forget about Brent.
Allman Brothers' version was pretty hip too, but Jerome J was beyond ☆
Well Said. To me there is no comparison at all. Glad we have it at our fingertips.
Totally agree. Just came here from a dead and co version cause it just wasn't the same
Happy Birthday Jerry! I love this live version of FT! Tempo is up. The fact that Jerry can sing, play rhythm and lead guitar and smile throughout the song is a testament to his skill. And the band's ability to play quiet at the right time is amazing!
What I find most unique about Grateful Dead music is that there are a lot of instruments playing, it should be very busy and muddied, but yet there is clarity and space inside of it. You can focus on any one thing and hear it clearly in the mix.
Very good point
Fair thee well, Papa Jerry.
Jerry's Voice is so Beautiful & Mesmerizing! He reminds me of "Nathan", from the Old Testament Bible!
The music still keeps coming. I was in red rocks Colorado when I first met Isley Stanley. I was waisted
Grateful Dead isn't simply music but something more inexplicable
You can hear each instrument individually.
Love this song. When I hear it Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend I'm at a Dead show
My classic radio station features some of the greatest guitarists ever. Page, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Angus Young, Randy Rhoads. Radio doesn't play a lot of Dead and when I listen to it I can't help but feel like I'm hearing the guitar for the first time. This is some fantastic stuff and we are blessed to have it preserved.
wnew in nyc did sundays 24 hours
Jerry was a god 2me i cried and went home from work. Wmmr phila was playin dead constantly then piere roberet anounced that jerry died in a rehab. At least i saw the 2 shows rfk. B4 last chicago i only saw 60 smthng. I bet mutiple poeple watchin that have seen them a few hundred times. Bill walton. Saw them over 1000 times
@@kevingyurecz8177kind of hard to miss Walton boogying on the floor. A wonderful sight to behold
This is a peppy version. Love the song.
I was at this show, Halloween night, last night of the run. Rolling Stone mag would review Talking Heads at RCMH a few nights later. Ushers were quoted as saying " at least this crowd stays in their seats, not like the Grateful Dead fans" lol
Jerry's guitar is mesmerizing. I love this song in all forms grew up in San Rafael best band ever and date ain't no home town bias
Sending love to you all from Patti Cornell. I went all across the country with Bobby starting aff the fildhouse at UVM
Never fails to bring tears to my eyes....Never.
Thx for sharing more music with me From Patti Cornell
Cool seeing Jerry and Phil in opposite positions on stage from my days in the early 80's. Loved Brent as the best fit for keyboard
One of the best things in live music is the groove. The dead had it in spades….. 🙏
I saw this tour. Jerry looked so good.
Sounded good too. 1980 and 81 were great years for Jer
Omg thats unbelievable wow im like give my life be there
I just sent this to someone and said the same thing
@@sniperplatoonjjemarinespecialo.
A little much, maybe ?
For so many of you, maybe not 👏👍🤠
& a username of sniper, jeez.
Fuck you im jealous haha
Was my first Dead concert. Was blown out of the water
I was there! Took the train down from Boston (I was at BU). I had already seen the Dead about 5-6 times by then, mostly at small theaters and giant outdoor events. What made this stand out was RCMH didnt change a thing. The ushers were all in jackets and ties. So were the bathroom attendants. The coat check room was operational too. Fanciest Dead show I ever saw!
He has the voice of an angel too
The drummers side by side in sync is unbelievable.
The first three notes of Jerry's second solo are pure gold
So Stoked see at least a handful of Shows. While Jerry was around. Awesome !
Ripple is still my favorite song
My older brother was into the dead it was out of my view seeing those record covers. I hooked on with terrapin station & shackdown street but I'd like to go back please
They were on 🔥 🔥🔥 for this run
Oh man, what a good show this was!
The band that thought about the name way ahead of time so when there all gone forever known the grateful dead
i was there i wastoo young to really know what i was doing it was fin cool
Damn. Go Jerry Go!!!!!! Just wow is all I have to say. Man he was the shit
3:20 “God bless (‘save’) the child that rings that bell! “
what a concert !! simplt the best
Man, the way Phil plays bass.... nobody else plays like him.
Rain like fire if you lose your way
this is the best version
Dead are on fire 🔥! Sooo loving this live performance ❤️❤️❤️
They really were playing well in this one, and the vocals are outstanding.
the lick Jerry does from 2:49 to 2:53 is everything that he is, in one guitar line... That is Jerry Garcia
yes.there are many familiar figures that he does.the 5.54-5.60 one has that sublime feel and one of the drummers responds to the moment being created.
Yep, that's tasty alright
100% brother - so much compressed in to that short bit. More than most listeners can really grab - you have to be paying attention; and these are the types of phraseings that each member of the band tossed in there like "inside jokes" for their own entertainment whether anyone else got them or not. They were each masters of their craft and their position in the pyramid. And they all paid attention. Such a joy to see this now 42 years after the fact - a techno-treat from the past.
A-Fuckin-mazing never heard this version of Franklin's till now....Thanks Mate....
So great to see these videos, and to occasionally listen to AUDs or MTXs, just to get a sense of how pumped these crowds could be. Jumping, clapping, jubilant. Just wonderful!
This was my first dead show holloween night oh my Guitar God Jerry he will always be missed and can never be replaced John is really good but Jerry can't be replaced rock on Jerry blessed be namaste
2024-03-06: I’m liking it AGAIN !
Hunter’s explication of the lyrics,
as he wrote them😉,
(“Fractures of Unfamiliarity & Circumvention in Pursuit of a Nice Time”
available thru internet search)
is also still a treasure.
🎉❤🎉
Pegando fogo. Muito bem!!
When I was with him, he gave me a glimpse of the joy shadowed by the torture of ‘fame’. I tried to bring him out, at a renaissance fair telling him there were so many men out there mimicking him,, I could hide him…. But it never happened…
Were you with him for a long time?
@@rtxf 1976 - 79. Lit JGB only in the SF bay area. I wasn’t ‘official’, so I didn’t travel with them.
@@roesbud53 sounds like a time to be alive, I’m from 2002 so I can only hear stories about the better days of music :/
@@rtxf sorry, just seeing this…. 1975 - 79.
i was there
I saw this performance on TV right after Jerry Garcia passed away in '95. I was 15 years old and it had just begun learning to play guitar myself. The performance is more complete if it includes Mickey and Bill's feature. I think I borrowed a lick that Phil plays near the end a couple of years later when I was playing a different song in a fusion band.
When Garcia's death was first announced in '95, my oldest cousin who was a diehard deadhead fell apart. Her family came to my house later that day to visit my mother who'd lost her own father, and my cousin asked if I had a picture of Garcia. I told her that I only had video footage of him. The minute the words escaped my lips, I knew that was about to change.
greatshow
coked up dead still rippin
I agree but president i don't know! But I used to say that too thanks for sharing!

Time sped up in the 80's
Ha! WOW thats fast
Vitamin C
@@Rainydaydreamaway7 definitely
Vitamin C
Coke
I saw an interview with Phil Lesh by tom Brokaw. He was asked about Jerry's drug use. His answer was spot on. He said he never saw anyone that enjoyed being as high as Jerry.

Right on
1:43 When you remember what the next verse is
That's pretty funny. He looks so happy.
Exactly right. I smiled big
😂
💯💯
Better Days
Rrrrrrrrrippin!
Don't get me wrong, I love Keith Godchaux, but damn...Brent Mydland brought so much to the GD and he could rock the Hammond B3, The Fender-Rhodes Keys, the Mini-Moog, the piano, and anything else with keys. Sorely missed. There has not been anyone since that could hold a candle to this man.
odd stage lineup usually jerry is close to bent and bob is where jerry is
In another times forgotten space
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you loose your way
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
God save the child that rings that bell
It may have one good ring, baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused, listen to the music play
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice you're gonna harvest the wind
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
You'd better roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
You better roll away the dew (roll away)
Roll away the dew
You better roll away the dew (roll away)
Roll away the due
Roll away the due (roll away)
Roll away the due
Roll away the due (roll away)
You better roll away
Thx❤👍
You a deadhead too😋
😎✌❤🎶
That opening riff gets some butts shaking.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2020 🎃
That droopy butt boogie
Also known as "chooglin'"
when did jerry and phil swap spots ?
Shortly after this tour. Not sure exactly when but I was at shows in 82 and they had changed positions
If you get confused listen to the music play. 💃🏻💀🌹⚡
Yeah they were on it on this one. They were baking with a lot of flour
Cowboy fancy
What was that weird ritual at 8:10
jerry told bobby the next song...
What has jerry's attention so much stage left at the end of the song? looks like he's almost laughing at something that's happening in the audience
he's laughing at Bobby's dosed out face
< IWT
Franklins is salvation.
Rippen....driving that train......lol
The apotheosis of The Dead.
itbwas holloween nite ha ha
Jerry playing super loose and experimental here.
Sly smile at 1:42
Ha ha I came to post the same thing! A little head waggle, and then that Jerry smile - you know the rest is gonna be good!
San Rafael Marin county San Francisco California rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️🌵☮️🌞🐟 yes I keep on keeping on 🍄🍄🍄🇺🇲🌍🔥🍄🍄🍄🎸
Jerry saved song with Jerry jam
no donna years are the best years
Playback at 0.75x 👽✌🏼
But why? This version is perfect the way it is, IMO. Love the coke tempo lol
Noooo! Do you want it to sound like Dead & Co? ; D
I like it better slowed down.
The best song to wang a hippie chick to
Best dead ever? Just sayin!!!!!
wasn't that guitar beautiful
I keep hearing all these cultural and social references in the dialogue of American TV shows about this band called The Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia and how cool and significant and relevant they are.
" I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac " from Don Henley's " Boys of Summer "
Americans rave on about how great this band is.
So I was thinking, wow, they must be very good.
You can't imagine my disappointment when I listened to their ' Greatest Hits ' album.
All their songs sound like a variation of themselves.
Dull and boring attempts at Roots n Blues.
I don't know what all the fuss is about.
They re-confirm that I have exquisite taste in music
Ohhhh! I'm all ears. Please enlighten us with your exquisite taste in music. Edge of my seat, please don't keep me waiting.
The Grateful Dead was meant to be listened to live.
Their studio albums are rough drafts.
I agree that sometimes the " white boy blues " falls flat.
But if you don't like at least some of their songs played live than you don't like rock or psychedelic music.
Which bands do you like, by the way?
lol,you sound like a bored kid pretending to have exquisite tastes in anything 🤣 take your meds
lol
"They re-confirm that I have exquisite taste in music" Elevator Muzak?
That's OK, Alan; they're not for everyone.
And nobody thinks any the less of you for that -- really, they don't.
You have nothing to feel insecure about, nothing at all.
Good song except for overly stoned Weir who is taking it way too seriously… kinda creepy
Nice jew lyrics.
This sucks.
U suck
My son Chubby McTubby cheeks said “Garcia’s solos are like walking on an indoor track with an old person.” Slow, repetitive, gets nowhere, uninteresting, something to be endured out of guilt.
Roll away....The Jew
This is bs
awesome stuff
