Selland Arena; Fresno CA Weather Report Suite: Prelude ~ Weather Report Suite: Part I ~ Weather Report Suite: Part II Let It Grow ~ Jam ~ Spanish Jam ~ Eyes of the World ~ China Doll
WRS is a highly underrated piece of music, even within the GD canon. It’s often overshadowed by Terrapin even though it’s outstanding in its own right. Love this version
I love WRS, and, of course I love Phil Lesh, and want to hear every note he plays distinctly. However, I don't enjoy recordings which are mixed with Phil so loud that the bass totally overwhelms every other instrument and vocal. The bass is an incredibly powerful instrument; it can put out a HUGE amount of sound pressure, just because the low frequencies push so much more air. There are a couple of other 74 WRSs on CZcams that are much better balanced.
We have been called, derisively, the Peace and Love Generation, yet I couldn't be prouder. For I recognized and have always known God's Love in the music of the Dead. Therein were my eyes opened. I AM, God is the All, God is love, and Love is All, As goes another tune, We are all, we are on our own. Unimaginably Beautiful and The Greatest of News, and it's always been right in front of us! Dead Shows were church, and there I talked to Him, at will, in communion with our tribe and the Almighty. Weather Report Suite remains my favorite Church Hymn to this day, and I will always remain Grateful. It's amazing though, how few, even of our tribe, can see the incredible importance of what we did, and were, at that crucial time. Thank you, Robert Hunter. Namaste
+harvey wind What a beautiful way to say it. I have always told my wife that shows were church. As close to heaven on earth with the master that we could ever be. A communion of souls or is that their song too. :)
"Jerry is gone in one form, but like the magician that he is, he has explosively been transformed into a million Jerrys-one improvising in each of our hearts." - Ram Dass
Beautiful recording, wonderful harmonics, sounds, just perfect... a perfect magical performance of a musical masterpiece from every member of the band.
Phil's bass is badass...holy crap...nothing like a great 74 show and donna does sound great..Jerry is...well Jerry...I love weather report, Let it grow is a jam masterpiece...well done mr weir...
just as psychedelic as it can be , we remember always how good time was in youth , there was no problems , we grew strong even if some closed the last door , do you feel that time has changed ? love is still to be heard in these songs , peace with your mind
I love that the Dead could sing and play with instruments out of tune and not even care. The energy was just so damn hot it didn't matter.. Most of us, if we play music, are terrified to make a mistake during a performance. Those kind of thoughts can inhibit one from exploring and being creative. These guys favored novelty over perfection.
"Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven." Walter Savage Landor Keep on jammin' to what moves your soul!
This is great piece! Yes,Phil is dominate,like Berry Oakley almost. All members are inspired here. Perfectly loose but together. Best I've heard jamwise from The Dead!
Geez Bill is a nimble drummer,he has musos ears,always listening to whats happening on stage. Would love to have heard The Wall & this lineup in full flight
I saw them a month before in Vancouver BC, and I wish they would have played this. I can`t imagine how it would have sounded through the greatest sound system ever created: the Wall Of Sound
Totally amazing; the entire band is so tight. Phil is shredding up a storm dropping bombs, Jerry on fire & his voice is magnificent on the eerie and gorgeous China Doll. Thank you for this epic post
wow! all these years i somehow missed this show.... great clip ending with one of the best china dolls ever ....jerry's voice was great and bobby and donna were right on target with the harmonies. awesome!
oh yeah this is the stuff that really got me at first more than music this is feeling the only band that put seasons into words which in turn make you emotional just as the season makes you i am i am i am!!!!!
That Eyes is right up there. Pretty sure if you could have fit a lump of coal somewhere between Billy, Phil and Keith that night a diamond would have formed
Excellent sound mix. Garcia, Weir and Lesh's guitars are wonderfully clear and separated. I amazed to read praise of Donna G's singing. The Florence Foster-Jenkins of rock music in my opinion.
Bar none...the finest light show i have ever seen....n bein a daedhaed from the 60's...i have seen a few. just in fucking awe man...whew!....what a trip!!!! Thank you...had a reel good time!!! beyond werds...so it goes.
I just got done listening to 2 hours of early 70s Miles Davis before checking this out. So clear to hear how Miles was such a massive influence on their free form.
I suppose so... it's not the video sound really it's the effing digital compressed signal......oh where are my valve amps ..s.e.a. ..and warfdales /tannoy ...
what a smokeing show I love it great quality I'm not the best at the computer its awesome to see all the dead shows and to see and listen to all the shows I went to its awesome
dude- just stumbled across your page and this shit is beautiful. I have to stop myself watching this too long because I could get lost In these for hours. don't know if you make these but thanks for sharing either way, awesome way to keep it alive!
holy mollyfoggin manure !!! but then 1974 has always been my favorite year of GD. 1985 is a close second. but they were so jazzy in 74. listen to miles davis' agaterra or pangea from 74 and hear what miles' was doing and what the dead were doing at the same time. just me. you can agree or disagree.
+reblahuty63 Exactly, I wish this period would have gone on longer they hit their stride by this point. The music had matured so much by this point and the sound was absolutely beautiful from the wall, there is no other time period for me that does it like 74. Then the hiatus, that just broke this up completely and went to the formula they stuck with until the end. Set 1. Set 2. Drums/Space. etc. Sure we have the classic 77 shows but 74 is it for me.
+reblahuty63 my favorite year of all as well- the last lone Kreutzmann year (which was a hard decision to make, next would be like '78, '82(?), '89?...) Good point about pangea and agaterra.
yossarian hunter, do not worry about that for a second brother......i will happily devote 35 seconds of silent meditation before beginning this 51 minute journey into inner space......i can't tell you how much joy your upload has brought me, personally, and countless others, id wager to say.......i never knew of this show until your video popped up in my recommendations.....this is the best 51 minutes and 26 seconds a man can spend on this website, and in their soul. oh the dead, what they can do is limitless. THANK YOU. much love !!
oh very yes, we ARE here in Holy Communion, with each other and the master, it is for that very reason we are here. we are part and one with God, so that he can experience his creation.. through us. Namaste, my brother, and thanks for the kind words.
Awesome! - - and aside from the obvious musical genius that seems to always surprise (why is that? a kind of dynamic of incomprehensibility? - ness?) I really want to say you did real good with the graphics!! peaceful, wonderful, a little wild and flowing flowing flowing, you have a good heart. g

73&74 WRS preceded sum artrageous Let It Grows w Phil droppin groov~
WRS is an extraordinary piece of music, with very profound lyrics. I don't understand why they just dropped it so soon.
I love WRS, and, of course I love Phil Lesh, and want to hear every note he plays distinctly. However, I don't enjoy recordings which are mixed with Phil so loud that the bass totally overwhelms every other instrument and vocal.

There are a couple of other 74 WRSs on CZcams that are much better balanced.
@@brianmarasca4496 there are even better mixed copies of this show on YT (so far).
This is one of my favorites that Bob sings, I think it's nothing short of a fukin masterpiece!!
Ain't gonna lie Donna is perfectly placed in this. I like the female back up vocals.
shes always well placed. I like her voice a lot
For me this is one of the most psychedelic, intense, emotional and at times scary songs the Dead ever played. Phil's killing it. Great mix.
Anytime I need a show, 7/19/74 is my go to show. The whole set is amazing.
The Grateful Dead went to every Grateful Dead show there ever was !
lucky bastards
Though I am a Jerry girl, the the Prelude of WRS is one of my favorites always and forever. The best of Bobby. ❤⚡️💙

Are you saying that we millions of atheists aren't allowed to rejoice in the Dead's music? Give us a break, pal! Peace and happiness.
You do know Robert Hunter had no involvement in the writing of Weather Report Suite, no?
tom conley, that's really neat that you read some books, you seem like a very technically inclined person and so quick witted!
This is one wild piece of music!!! Holy God!!!
And stunningly beautiful as well!
Not too shabby huh ⁉️🎼🎶🎸🔊... Phil feeling it to THE MAX !!!
WEATHER REPORT HAS LONG BEEN ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW - Phil is HUGE
He literally & metaphorically unzipped his pants and unleashed that big swinging dick and did unspeakable things to our eardrums 😅
✌🏼💀🎧Happy Days Between Scarlett💃🌈🔥🎶🍒🎸🐻

Beautiful recording, wonderful harmonics, sounds, just perfect... a perfect magical performance of a musical masterpiece from every member of the band.
the weather brought me here. I love this song when summer fades to fall. the nights are cold.
The weather brought me here too.
Jeff Rogers Yup.. Can't miss a note of this piece
Right on, brother.
Phil's bass is badass...holy crap...nothing like a great 74 show and donna does sound great..Jerry is...well Jerry...I love weather report, Let it grow is a jam masterpiece...well done mr weir...
Like going to the dentist... Phil rattling teeth
Most beautiful..I'm going through such a horrible time..and I found this. Thanku from the bottom of my heart
Hopefully things will get better for you Stacey...

Keep on jammin' to what moves your soul!
This is incredible. Been a head for 40 years and hadn’t heard this show before.
Best version I ever heard. 'Wake of the Flood', was the first Dead Album that
I ever owned..
This is great piece! Yes,Phil is dominate,like Berry Oakley almost. All members are inspired here. Perfectly loose but together. Best I've heard jamwise from The Dead!
Legendary wall of sound perfection, my favorite 74 show period!!
this set is one I listen to 3 or 4 times a week with my morning coffee. I love the versio9n of eyes on it.
the eyes on this one is divine. absolutely no words
OHHH MAAAN, JESUS CHRIST CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN JUST TO TOUCH THAT BEAUTIFUL JAM IN THE MIDDLE. Grateful dead, thanks for being part of the creation.
Yep. Deep into the mystic.
Weather Report!! Miss that group.
Terrific stuff right there.
27:50 what a transition man. They’re the best.
Came for the Weather Report. Stayed for the Spanish Jam!
Phil Lesh. Excellent. Special thanks to Cody.
wowzers. ty.
Geez Bill is a nimble drummer,he has musos ears,always listening to whats happening on stage.
Would love to have heard The Wall & this lineup in full flight
Holy bleep. Phil is amazing on this!!!
I saw them a month before in Vancouver BC, and I wish they would have played this. I can`t imagine how it would have sounded through the greatest sound system ever created: the Wall Of Sound
That Pacific Northwest '74 box set is one of my favorites!
That '73 Vancouver show is my 2nd FAVORITE show of all time, right behind Veneta '72. This WRS is equally sublime and majestic.
@@davedepartee4253 Veneta '72 was my first of many.
Totally amazing; the entire band is so tight. Phil is shredding up a storm dropping bombs, Jerry on fire & his voice is magnificent on the eerie and gorgeous China Doll. Thank you for this epic post
holy sheep shit!!! omg this is by far serious ancient alien meets the Lord himself. Amazing
wow! all these years i somehow missed this show.... great clip ending with one of the best china dolls ever ....jerry's voice was great and bobby and donna were right on target with the harmonies. awesome!
This is THE version for all Phil fans!
Wow what a set. This is some amazing Dead right here. '74 Dead is my favorite by far.
Can never get enough!!
"...all I leave behind me, is only what I found..." rip Jerry!!!
By far the best one, the answer came, the wind and rain. Thank you so much.
Phil. Like a boss. One of the most funky, sinister, aggressive jams of 74'. Holy fuck
No need to curse young man...
oh yeah this is the stuff that really got me at first more than music this is feeling the only band that put seasons into words which in turn make you emotional just as the season makes you i am i am i am!!!!!
Beautiful.. eyes of the world...
Wow! The opening iz FANTASTIC Thanks for posting, OUTASITE!!!!
Thx so much for the visuals man 🤙
incredible bass sound!
Same Ol Friends - the Wind & Rain = my spirit guides - they visit me every day, and nights too
Jesus Christ? Best ever? For sure an amazing recording! Thank you for the crispy upload!
That Eyes is right up there. Pretty sure if you could have fit a lump of coal somewhere between Billy, Phil and Keith that night a diamond would have formed
Excellent sound mix. Garcia, Weir and Lesh's guitars are wonderfully clear and separated.

Absofreakinfabutastic!!!!! Thank you for your painstaking editing work on the graphics, that was beyond incredible~~~ Peace
This Fresno show and the recent 74 Miami Jai Ali are DAVE'S Picks CAREER HIGHLIGHTS so far ! Thank you Mr. Lemeaux
Same old friends, the wind and rain🎵
Excellent in every aspect..

I love it when phil is loud!
Truly Magical...
This particular version is incredible. Phil is on fire!
I just got done listening to 2 hours of early 70s Miles Davis before checking this out. So clear to hear how Miles was such a massive influence on their free form.
Miles was on the Bleeding Edge of music his whole solo career. Inspirational to so many!
Crystal Clear!!! This sound quality is AMAZING!
I suppose so... it's not the video sound really it's the effing digital compressed signal......oh where are my valve amps ..s.e.a. ..and warfdales /tannoy ...
Excellent .
what a smokeing show I love it great quality I'm not the best at the computer its awesome to see all the dead shows and to see and listen to all the shows I went to its awesome
As good as it gets.
Yeah! My 4th Bday! Awesome graphics to accompany these wonderful sounds! Thanks!
This is still my favorite I listen almost every day such an awesome passage of musics
Definitely one of my favorite shows! I love this one late at night..great post! (¢);}
This is as good as it gets! Thank you for sharing this!
P H I L….!!! Bonecrunching it to the max!!!
Lovin it, thx!!!🎸🌊🏄♂️🌊👂👀💕🔥👍
Soooooooooooooooooo relaxing and what a show. Thank you yossarian hunter

+reblahuty63 Its called Agartha, agree what you said but ill take any 70s dead. They are always great during that decade.
This is probably my favorite Spanish Jam and I've always thought Jerry's distorted lead sounds like Miles with distortion on his trumpet.
Don Maley 78 had bangers too man. 4/12
thanks so much for this, it's such a brilliant rendition...
They just keep getting better
Every time I listen, I hear something new
SWEET,REASON FOR LIVING AND THEN SOME,LOVE IT ALL DB,!!#!!
That was just loverly,
sheesh, just cue it @ 00:35 ... awesome
Steve Greggs yeah, I screwed the pooch on that infinite silence lol... my bad...
