ESP since jerry mentioned that it dropped off the list no the difficulty in singing it while playing. Maybe the reason for the minimalistic approach. Great.
No nO NO That is not, totally not the correct reference for "Steal Your Face". Just what would you do with that asshole face, anyway? I suggest you listen to ALLIGATOR, the last go home your mommas callin' you.
The session with Phil and Jason Crosby was in the groove, on track and just amazing. I simultaneously cried and experienced such incredible joy hearing "Operator". Playin' In The Band" revealed far more subtleties than live versions! great ensemble playing. "Lazy River Road was another crying externally, experiencing great internal joy moment. They may dislike each other but God, do they make beautiful music together!
I totally love Bob's rhythm playing ... all those little flourishes intead of chords and rhythmically interesting too... After all this is the guy who gave us China Cat's intro....
His guitar playing is almost like "chunck chuncky". And it's got a very "metallic tinny" kind of ring to it. It's a blend of rhythm guitar and almost kind of like a lead percussion.
@@Chrispypullen That sort of sound for him really started in the late 80s/early 90s. Everyone was going for that tinny sort of thin guitar sound around that time, and since then, bobby seems to still favor that tinny sound. He uses many single coil instruments through Vox AC30s on one of his recent tours with Dead and Co, which obviously will produce a very trebly/tinny tone. He used to use a guitar with humbuckers back in the early days, which is definitely my favorite era of Bobby's playing as well as his tone. He played many fully voiced chords much more than the single line runs he does these days. He used to _really_ play like Tyner back in the day with so many chords it would make your head spin following the lead of Garcia's playing, and his tone was very warm and jazzy. Now he uses a lot of treble in his sound, but the opposite could be said about the warm and rich sound of Bobby's ES-335 in the early 70s.
I can never understand the logic of these self-proclaimed music experts who denounce one musician as being inferior and at the same time exalt the praises of musicians who played with him for insanely long periods of time. Bobby played with Jerry for over 30 years and with Phil for over 50. If he is such an inferior musician why would musicians as great as Phil and Jerry collaborate with him for so long? The same sort of criticism is heaped on George Harrison yet he collaborated with Clapton his whole life. There is a reason why these great musicians hung around, played, and recorded with each other for so long and the obvious answer is: respect for each other's talents.
You definitely have a point. If you focus in on Weir's playing, there's so many nuances and it's not a strict rhythm guitar. Very complementary to Gerry and fills in the spaces. Never really heard much criticism about Harrison. He wasn't as fast or flashy as a Clapton or Albert Lee, but always tasty and appropriate lead for the song.
belliose Don't get me started. Few music critics have the gnosis and sensibility, the right stuff, to deal with PoMo fame. Take Rolling Stone's list of the 100 best guitarists: it's supposed to be composed by panels of experts, but it's maddeningly stupid and in the end absolutely useless; for example they have John Lennon fairly high on the list as a rhythm guitarist, exposing themselves as the popularity contest they inevitably degrade into. I love John Lennon, and he is an excellent guitarist, but this is absurd. On the other hand, who, in the whole wide world, is a better rhythm guitarist than Bob Weir? Because the Dead approach is so improvisational, Bob often leads the whole ensemble based on his read of the rhythm section and sometimes plays straight lead, like a sweet slide solo, all of which leaves Jerry as the free guitar who feeds off of Bob. They were a great duo, the equal of Allman/Betts and Green/Spencer. Clapton, who I also love, one of the best guitarists, is the most overrated musical artist to emerge in the 60s, placing in every popularity contest, but he did not sing and he didn't write songs, although he did create some fine guitar music. Harrison was a more rounded guitarist and a truly great songwriter and a fine vocalist to boot. In the future we will hear more of Lennon/Harrison and Garcia/Weir.
belliose Garcia allowed the likes of Donna for years. Go figure. There is more than talent to why a band is what they are. Luck, coincidence, friendship, etc.
rbmunkin Dude, Donna could sing. She could harmonize well and she was very creative with her voice. Jerry was a great musical experimenter and his theory of music was unique and daring. So many people don't 'get' the Dead because they want to think conventionally and Jerry wanted to push the conventions. Donna tried stuff that worked sometimes and sometimes didn't. Just like the rest of the band. If you respect Jerry you should respect his judgment. He had his ideals and strove to achieve them. Donna worked with his ideas and some of her stuff is truly excellent. Which is basically what could be said of all of the Dead's work.
belliose Everyone has their own opinion. Mine is that I didn't like Donna's live singing. It was screetchy and didn't fit, IMO (stress on "IMO"). I'm not alone: Bill Kreutzman: "Donna is a good person and I don't want to hurt her by saying this, but I never felt she fit in with the sound that we were going for...." And he continues a bit. See page 164 of his book "Deal". Just because I respect Jerry and feel he's a GREAT musician, doesn't mean he is perfect or "god". He made mistakes - like heroin and junk food. And Donna (IMO).
Man Bobby sang some great tunes. It really is different when a band has 2 singers. It's like you get so used to one of them and then the voice changes and it's nice to hear something different.
Phil is Dorian Grey. He looks younger at the end of the video than he did at the start. It's uncanny. It's like 40 years have skipped over him without leaving a trace.

Bob is looking more and more like "The Dude" all the time...Wish he would have Jeff Bridges on they could do Bobby McGee together. Jack Straw is a gem on this one! Thanks guys...
I know people grow and change but I really miss seeing them together, finally they found someone who fits in well playing the guitar and Phils not there to enjoy it.
The stage as a sacred place, love it. It's so heart warming to hear band members and family share their stories of magical moments during those times. Another reminder to me that it was real! Thank you for that acknowledgement. Do more of these rocking/couch sessions!
the first time i asked a girl to dance, and it worked, was during a new new minglewood blues at the stone in 1985. george thorogood special guest. also, was nearly killed by some hells angels I happened to call "scams," but narrowly escaped unscathed (with my doobage!) ..don't flush me down, was the phrase, if I recall.
we (Bob Weir)spent two nights together. 1969. I was 19 yrs old. talk about the feelings this evokes! I hate his beard. wonder if he ever thinks of us???
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to the 60s and be a hippie and sleep with bob weir I wonder if he is faithful to his wife he is still incredibly sexy
sunshinenblues I figured that people like you who have been on the inside would have come out sooner.Can you give anything else?It doesn't have to be sexual, I love the behind the scenes stuff.I saw them,garcia band,midnites,kingfish,etc 300++ times,and always wondered abt that stuff....thanx
"What shall we say? Shall we call it by a name?" Garcia was an incarnation of Krishna - you don't have to believe it ["Do you think this will piss off the Clapton people?" - hysterical] Mythology develops over time, "Garcia as Krishna" is not my idea, it will be the idea of people a century or two from now.
Yes! Hopefully Bob Dylan's supporters will have opened the door to make Robert Hunter the Poet Laureate of the United States some time soon! My comment about Garcia as Krishna is about his presence, how you would come away from a Dead show and feel like you had been in the presence of something more than a simple mortal man, how that mystical legend will grow from those who tell their children (somewhere there are Michael Jackson fans undoubtedly convinced of the same sort of thing}! All the best to you!
What about the band as a whole.. I don't understand how everyone takes Garcia as Godlike but it to the whole GD family to make the magic happen.. The whole GD catalog is my Bible but I see them as a whole... Garcia was just a man with man problems just like us all and hated the fact people looked at him as Godlike
I totally agree with you. In fact, even deeper into the myth, his fans killed him. He said that he was afraid to say anything because he could tell people even casually were hanging on his every word, thinking he was delivering some deep message with anything he might say. Talk about magic and the GD family, Bill Kreutzmann, whoa, that guy is cosmic! All the best to you.
Wow I'm really seeing that Jerry was the spit the glue and the Polish his creative Force pulled all the Loose Ends into a tight Mass causing a flow and much tighter Direction
Please cite sources for your information. Until you do I will take the word of Phil Lesh who was actually there. Now I agree that Healy did a good job MOST of the time, but the best sound came out of the Bear era. Owsley was a mad genius at the mixing board, and revolutionized the way engineers do things, still to this day he is one of the most important people in the history of sound engineering and therefore in the history of Rock and Roll.

Nice Cosmic Charlie for 2013!! Sweet… Phil & Bobby harmonize nicely considering the passage of time.

Really fine singing from both. Can you imagine if Jerry were in the mix for this stripped down harmonizing.
...GOOD LORD !!...that jam after Playin' in the band is INDESCIBABLY UNBELIEVABLE!!!
One of the best videos on Us Tubes

This sit down about Pigpen was fantastic to hear. Thanks for the stories.
we're in at almost 19 minutes and I sure am enjoying You guys, Thank YOU for being here!
That Jason Crosby is so talented! I love his violin, keyboards and don't forget he has a Great voice!!
Weir always sounded like he was playing two guitars at once.... Great guitarist.
There's people who hate him quite a bit and think he's the worst. Not sure why.
Jason Crosby on the violin, guitar, lead vocal, and piano. Really good on the ivory.
Some great stories about great People . So Glad to see this one . Thank You :) QC
Absolutely loved this. Awesome Playin' jam. Thanks so much. A bright spot in my week so far!
...been wandering around, not necessarily lost, for a long time, somehow ended up here... Thanks Bob!
Operator! Nice job on that one for Phil!!!
Piggy! Nice one.
Bobby really is a great guitarist. Rare to see a non soloist be that good. Keith Richards comes to mind as well.
Uhhh Yeah!
hell yeah. this is great. i dig phils terrapin turtle pin on his bass strap.
Keith does some really nice Chuck Berry-esque lead stuff, but, yeah, he was more a riff rocking kind of player, no doubt.
I totally love Bob's rhythm playing ... all those little flourishes intead of chords and rhythmically interesting too... After all this is the guy who gave us China Cat's intro....
....totally agree.....he is a very stylish player....under rated............
The Weather Report Suite has always stood out to me as the best example of Bob's awesomeness on guitar.
His guitar playing is almost like "chunck chuncky". And it's got a very "metallic tinny" kind of ring to it. It's a blend of rhythm guitar and almost kind of like a lead percussion.
@@Chrispypullen McCoy Tyner ish

Steve Parish is a funny guy. He tells great stories.
Bobby really is a heck of guitarist, isn't he?
Yes
"I Don't know anybody that plays the guitar like Bobby!"...J. Garcia.
Always like it when Phil is creating the rhythm - leading from behind, giving others the foundation to play on.
I love the shots of Parrish just chillin...
