I was born in 74. When I was 11 I was watching the movie Mask with Cher. At the end when she finds Rocky dead in bed in the am Ripple by The Grateful Dead came on the radio. It struck such a chord w me my mom showed me at the end of the film where the soundtrack is listed. "Oh the Grateful Dead"she says. "Ur Uncle is into them" he lent me an LP and I was on the bus as they say. Sadly Me and My Uncle never got to see Jerry and the boys 2gther. We were supposed to but the day they came to Boston he had a massive heart attack and died the day they left. My mom said you still have to go see the Dead with Chris and a tear rolled down his eye. He passed the next day. Again welcome to the family!
"Me and My Uncle" - I see what you did there. Caught Dead & Co in Cincinnati on the recent "final" tour and personal highlights included this song along with a burning China Cat/I Know You Rider.
"Finniculi Finnicula" was a famous "tuning song" for the boys, and a favorite of Jerry's. Usually meant it was going to be a great concert. Alternate name for the band was "The Just Exactly Perfect Brothers", according to Bob Weir. Help>Slip>Franklin's was a fan favorite, for OBVIOUS reasons. Welcome to The Phil Zone, named for Bassist Phil Lesh.
I was lucky enough to make 3 of these Spring shows in 77 and consider it one of the absolute best periods for the band. Luckily, there are many of these full shows available now on YT. I find myself deep in the 77 stuff quite often......Tuscaloosa, Boston, Portland, Buffalo, Cornell, and on and on. You clearly enjoy the jams and THAT opens the doors for The Dead's music, to me.
my first year. Saw 1 show, by accident. was there as my pops was getting music he left from a concert he was part of a few days before. Wasn't into the Dead, then - more of a beatles/led zeppelin fan. then, Apocalypse Now came out, and I was wondering who did that great background music. That was when I became a head.
Try Pembroke Pines 5/22/77. Amazing LL/SUPP. In my opinion the best one they ever played! Completely agree about 77. The whole year of 77 has just simply amazing moments show after show!
You stumbled onto a version that might scare others away. I’m so glad you get it! They don’t always hit it right but when they do, it’s just magical. Keep digging!
It makes me happy to see people still discovering and loving the Grateful Dead 😎 They were amazing together. Truly greater than the sum of their parts. Now try jumping ahead to the same sequence of songs from the 1990 spring tour. They were on fire, playing better than ever. Thanks, man.
So my friends dragged me to a dead show in 1988 I was aware of the Dead and liked a few songs but wasn’t my thing, welp almost 4 decades later Ive seen over 50 Grateful Dead Show and hundreds of post Jerry incarnations. The band changed my life and couldn’t imagine what my life would’ve been like had I not gone now I take my little one and we dance and sing
Great choice. When John Mayer was learning Dead songs for Dead and Company he said there are no rules in Slipknot. I love that quote because you never know what your going to get during that song except goosebumps.
The day I was born. When I recognize that made me really really happy. I got to see the dead a lot in the 90s. I know that wasn’t considered their best time but I saw what I considered some gems. There were still great songs and I saw the last dark star ever. I know it wasn’t as long as some dark stars but it was still powerful. They change the way I played music. This band will always be my favorite band. I think I’ll be shocked if anything ever comes out that replaces it and I love a lot of music. I’m not saying keep this you’re one and only thing but they’re an amazing band. I love seeing people get turned onto it.⚡️⚡️🌹
1977 was quite the year for the Dead, esp. the Spring run...I was at the 10/1/77 show in Portland OR sitting directly behind the soundboard and it was magnificent. Eyes of the World is astonishing. The 10/1 and 10/2/77 shows are now available on Dave's Picks. Highly recommended.
@@88wildcat Way better than Cornell! I'm with you man. 5/9/77 is easily in top 3 for me. Although I tend to categorize into different era's cuz I could do a top 100 & still leave many favorites out, lol.
That's a Long run, brother. I was lucky to get it night 2 at MSG 83. My first show was the St. Stephen breakout (which I didn't fully appreciate at the time) and H/S/F was set 2 opener the second night. It broke out as I skipped down from upper halls searching for that sound. Struck out but by the time I reached our seats on the floor, I was on the bus! ☮
Yeah the first couple times I saw them do franklins tower was late 80’s when they were doing feel like a stranger>franklins tower and I think Dominguez hills was the first time I saw help on the way>Slipknot!>franklins tower and was so stoked I finally got to see it in person. But now I miss the feel like a stranger> franklins hahahaha grass is always greener but this medley is the stronger one for sure.
I always used to wonder how the boys pulled it off without getting caught. Being a Deadhead felt like getting away with something although I could never quite put a finger on it. Long Live The Dead❤
Help On the Way and the transition piece known as Milking the Turkey/Harder than Dirt created a momentum and energy that flowed and reached fevered pitch and was perfectlythe energy and drive behind Franklin's Tower. A jaw dropping awe inspiring experience live....unlike any other band ever
I seen the Dead in 67 on their first tour at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, need I say more,?? what a band, but what would I know, I seen Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Richie Vallens 3 days before the plane crashed, Bill Haley, and the Comets were there too,, I''m just a lucky boy,, Grateful Dead=Glad to be Alive !!!
I was in England in the Fall of 1990 seeing the Grateful Dead European tour. Did the whole tour. Find the 1990 Euro MTV Halloween show with the Dead from London. Caught 300 shows. Glad you are on the bus.
Love how you sung along to finniculi finnicula. Never heard anyone sing it, you got Good vibes and that's all that matters, along with an open mind and open heart ❤️🌍
Great reaction! The dead are so multifaceted that 30 years into exploring the dead and I’m still in awe every time I listen to a show. I would suggest Morning Dew from 74 ruclips.net/video/fpKQOvlDr-s/видео.html
From that Live Dead album you did dark star, the eleven and turn on your lovelight are must hear Dead songs too ☺️ These 3 songs were a common medley the Dead played. Some songs of theirs always went together. Fans call this Help/Slip/Frank. Other common dead medleys Scarlet begonias/fire on the mountain Lost sailor/saint of circumstance Chinacat sunflower/I know you rider Cryptical envelopment/the other ones/drums/Cryptical envelopment Etc. The Dead did a lot of multi song medleys ☺️
Althea and Scarlet begonias woth Fire on the mountain are the unique baroque land of the Grateful Dead. They describe with the music a dimension they've discovered, precise poetry
I went to this show at Winterland. They did a run in March and June at Winterland, my favorite venue to see the Dead. 1972 and '77 were standout years for me and I saw a lot of shows in '70s. Unfortunately, late '77 is when Garcia started dabbling in heroine and we all know how that turned out.
Phil Lesh always had Jerry knew that Phil was in to writing into classical music and he was a trumpet player. On hearing what Jerry was into he asked to play in the band A true genius like the other members realized that you could take their songs on the road. Jerry told him showed him the basics and he came up with his style of playing. I knew the band and some of the family.LSD helped on many levels. I met Bear the LSD god The two drummers at one point tied their arms together and played like that the Dead encouraged themselves to see how far they could take the music. I sold Beers goods and the money went to Bears masterpiece The Wall Of Sound. Glad your listening, ⚡️🎸⚡️🖖🏽⚡️
5-9-77 is still the pinnacle of Help>Slip>Franklins. Jerry forgets some lyrics in Franklin’s but otherwise it’s perfect and has great energy. This one is pretty sweet too! Very adventurous.
Check out the version of this on Without a Net. This is a relatively early version of this song/songs and obviously it’s great but I definitely prefer the later versions when Brent was with them. The songs develop out nicely after they have played them for a long long time and there are new aspects and Jerry has the whole guitar MIDI thing. The recording is so good and you’d be hard pressed to find any dull moments. The playing absolutely stellar. They are on 🔥 fire. Anything on that album is epic.
That one is stellar and I listen to it at work everyday, but this one is so much more energetic and has a faster tempo. I’m not going to say which one is better but only because I can’t, they are different but incredible, both!!!!!
They are a fusion band born as a family.. This run of shows is after the release of 'Blues for Allah' so they were hot with this music.. If you want to dig into this band start back in 63 with Garcia's Banjos music, then go to the Warlocks'..
Whoa I don't remember 6-9 being so damn good. How can anyone not recognize the Dead as one of the top all time Classic Rock bands like holy smokes this is good. When the Dead are on it is like Magic. Other bands are really Tight and have amazing live shows. But the Dead do it on another level because it doesn't always work with their improv style. But when it works holy crap.
If you're listening to Grateful Dead know Jerry Garcia. He is the lead Guitar and a founder of the band. Bob Weir rhythm guitar, Phil Lesh bass, this was probably Keith Godchaux on piano, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann on drums. Yes two drummers. They are one of the most prolific musical artists EVER! Don't Forget lyricist Robert Hunter who wrote a majority of songs but was just that. The writer member of the band. Since Jerry's death in 95 the band has taken on many forms all of them great! But jerry will forever be missed. He's irreplaceable.
There are so many versions of this available, everyone of them different, and better or worse in their own way. Versions of Franklin's tower are one of my favourite things to find. I think I've heard this one before - but you'll be glad to hear that there are a whole hell of a lot that are much better than this one - which is pretty good.
You might become Australia's second deadhead after me if you're not careful. Maybe I'm over stating it, but they're few and far between in Oz. I fell in love with them when I was around 16, 40 years ago. It was Anthem of the Sun (the vinyl version - it seems to have been stuffed up in digital formats) that sold me, within just half a minute of side 1.
Funiculi Funicula appears because there a delay for technical difficulties. Maybe someone had a broken string or a blown amp. This was Jerry's way of having a little fun instead of just waiting around in silence. And, btw, this particular rendition of Help/Slip/Frank is extraordinary because it is arguably the most energetic, darkest, bad-ass, version they ever performed. Garcia in particular is absolutely locked in and surfing the outer spheres.
There were certain "songs" the Dead did while trying to kill time while there were "technical difficulties", they'd bust out this, the Beer Barrel Polka, The Frozen Logger (I think it's called) among others....**edit** San Francisco (where the band is from) is known for it's cable cars among other things...
"Finniculi Finnicula" - Help-Slip-Frank to start a set is a fucking BANGER! and 77 is officially the best tour from the best live band ever, you are in for some shit amigo! - this is from June 77 Winterland run. listen to all 3 shows
Go from this version to 4/1/84… Jerry forgets the lyrics to Help, typical for the time, but I don’t think he ever sung a better version of Franklins Tower to make up for it. And 99% of Deadheads here are saying “84?? Cmon!!” I s**t you not my friends. If you listen you’ll hear 😉😉😉.

Hope you never find it!!!!

For the people who don't understand that reference. "Stealing Your Face" = Losing your ego.
The Grateful Dead tricking people into liking jazz since 1965.
Great choice. When John Mayer was learning Dead songs for Dead and Company he said there are no rules in Slipknot. I love that quote because you never know what your going to get during that song except goosebumps.
John is Dead 2 me 😊
Mayer also said slipknot was the hardest thing he ever learned to play. Glad he made the effort!
8.13.75 From the Great American Music Hall they brought this to the world for the first live performance of the whole album.

I always used to wonder how the boys pulled it off without getting caught. Being a Deadhead felt like getting away with something although I could never quite put a finger on it. Long Live The Dead❤
A lot of "outlaw" references in the lyrics. I know what you mean. "Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck."
I feel like I was blessed with ears that when lost could always hear the music play

Don't forget Bobby... his rhythm playing knits it all together 🤟🏻😎💯🔥
Very unique style. I agree . Very underrated. Black Throated Wind !!
The lyrics and the songs they had are the core of it all.
You know what Jerry says, "If you get confused, listen to the music play".
Man, Phil lays it down so good.😎🌻🌻
The whole thing sometimes 😊

Right?
Underrated comment right here
From that Live Dead album you did dark star, the eleven and turn on your lovelight are must hear Dead songs too ☺️ These 3 songs were a common medley the Dead played. Some songs of theirs always went together. Fans call this Help/Slip/Frank. Other common dead medleys
Scarlet begonias/fire on the mountain
Lost sailor/saint of circumstance
Chinacat sunflower/I know you rider
Cryptical envelopment/the other ones/drums/Cryptical envelopment
Etc. The Dead did a lot of multi song medleys ☺️
My recommendation for Lost Sailor > St of Circumstance is from Frost Amphitheater 1982. Holds up, Bobby dialed in, band in flow.
Just discovered your channel. Love how you let it roll then react. Was blessed w shows mid-80's to the end. Set me on my live music journey. Grateful

@@Jason5000 Yes sir. Such a great compilation of peak Brent Mydland era Grateful💀Dead music.

very nice, hadn't heard that show before. good ol' grateful dead.
Whoa I don't remember 6-9 being so damn good. How can anyone not recognize the Dead as one of the top all time Classic Rock bands like holy smokes this is good. When the Dead are on it is like Magic. Other bands are really Tight and have amazing live shows. But the Dead do it on another level because it doesn't always work with their improv style. But when it works holy crap.
Nice selection my friend
On all my cassettes it says "help>slip>frank"
Yes I'm late to this party, but it's Wonderful to see younger folks enjoy The Dead.
Finniculi Finnicula meant someone in the band wasn't quite ready, so Jerry went off on a tangent

I saw the one at RFK 7-12-90 before they launched into "Betha".
Just watch your self see how you're head goes up and down you're hooked
"Finniculi Finnicula" - Help-Slip-Frank to start a set is a fucking BANGER! and 77 is officially the best tour from the best live band ever, you are in for some shit amigo! - this is from June 77 Winterland run. listen to all 3 shows
What a great slip>
Go from this version to 4/1/84… Jerry forgets the lyrics to Help, typical for the time, but I don’t think he ever sung a better version of Franklins Tower to make up for it. And 99% of Deadheads here are saying “84?? Cmon!!” I s**t you not my friends. If you listen you’ll hear 😉😉😉.
Yeah, they talk about Pigpen being an imp, but Jerry had a great sense of humor too!
Nice work
I'm sure someone has told you Jerry would play this sometimes when the
Others weren't quite ready to start . silly stuff, well played
New sub😊
When you know what they are going to play from a couple notes they play while getting ready to launch…
