More Grateful Dead recommendations, you say? There's not enough space, lol. But here goes: Shakedown Street Throwing Stones Help on the Way/Slipnot/Franklin's Tower The Music Never Stopped Scarlet Begonias/Fire on the Mountain Easy Wind
Welcome to the deepest rabbit hole in music ! If you get into this band you will always have something new to listen to. There is so much to be said about the history of the band the mind blowing level of fan loyalty and of course the decades of dedication to live performances , endless beautiful music !
We’re so damn lucky that The Dead has their “taper policy” and also recorded damn near everything themselves! So glad that so many great soundboards are emerging! I’m currently plowing through Spring 77, one of my favorite periods! Super “sleeper” show was one I was lucky enough to make: Tuscaloosa AL 5/17/77. Check it if you haven’t! Lot of energy!
Congrats! The only band I've seen more than Yes is the DEAD .Ask any Dead Head the best Dead is live Dead! I saw my first show in 1975 and stopped counting after 100 in 1982. To this day I will go and see Bobby or Phil's bands every chance I get.
“Ripple”, “Truckin’”, “Uncle John’s Band”, “Casey Jones”, “Friend of the Devil”, “Scarlet Begonias”, “Fire on the Mountain”, “Touch of Grey” are all phenomenal Grateful Dead songs, but this list just scratches the surface, lol. Definitely a rabbit hole worth diving into. 👍
Terrapin Station off Terrapin Station is a brilliant tune. The Dead would play for 4hrs or more live. Never playing a song the same way two nights in a row, one night for 8mins the next for 28mins. Thus they allowed recording devices and they have 1,246,323 bootlegs.
Sung by Pigpen, written by Otis Redding. Pigpen sadly died at 27. The Grateful Dead did a lot of blues in their early days. Please play "Ripple" with the original GD video.
You should really really REALLY check out China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider from their Europe 72 live album. Two songs they always played together, and that version is widely considered the best with good reason
Deepest of all rabbit holes! And the most fun! Pig Dead is a lot different than what the band eventually became. If you’re digging Pigpen, I would suggest Easy Wind, Mr.Charlie, Lovelight, and Good Lovin’. That’s enough to hold you for a while, then you might be ready for Bluegrass Dead, Country Dead, Hard Rocking Dead or Trippy Jam Dead. You have much to look forward to! I will say that this (Grateful Dead) is a Trip best taken with a “tour guide” to point you to the best live versions etc.
Since you loved this you should do a reaction to another version they did in France on 6-21-71 with footage, it’s literally a backyard party with the vibe to fit, so hypnotizing and exciting.
On the main groove of the song, the two guitars are playing complimentary parts that fit together to make the rhythm under the singing and it almost sounds like it's only one guitar. They were like old time dixieland jazz bands where every player was doing their own thing (sometimes wildly), but it all fit together to make the song.
The Grateful Dead could be fantastic live, but they're not very well represented on their released material, especially their studio stuff. So I'm happy to see you check this one out, because it's one of the few "officially released" tracks that I think capture their vibe. Basically you have to imagine a room (or stadium) filled with people tripping on LSD and mushrooms, lol. The "jamming" becomes like an audio kaleidoscope. This one gives a glimmer of that, definitey.
I absolutely love Grateful Dead they’re songs are just pure jams and they play so tight together! If your going to continue exploring more of the Grateful Dead I highly recommend listening to Dead and Company…. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! Dead and Company is basically the remaining members of the original band but with John Mayer as well (considered among the music community as the one of the few living guitar hero’s left of this generation)… they still cover the Dead’s original tracks but with John Mayer’s guitar and vocals as well it just takes the songs to new levels imo. I would recommend starting off with ‘Brown Eyed Women’ or ‘Deep Elem Blues’ as the songs are all live jams that can extend up to 15-20 mins long whereas those are both under 10 mins… But yea highly recommend checking it out!
Dillon and Zay not to burst anyone's bubble or especially NOT to confuse you Zay, hear me please Dead & Co. Is NOT the remaining members of the Grateful Dead! What about Phil Lesh the band's outrageous Bass bombist Guitarist??? These newbies get me going Zay! I've been a Deadhead for 50 BIG years since 1973! Loving every single second with Jerry Garcia live, man! You like the blues? Gotta hear a long, live version of Black Peter, LOSER, and Brokedown Palace!! Stay at it you'll love it & have great fun for years!!!
I’m telling you bro you gotta hear me out. With the dead it’s all about live performances. I’d love to hear your reaction to one of these. Mississippi Half Step - 09/25/76 Brown Eyed Women - 05/28/77 Sugaree - 05/28/77 This is just a start man. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Hey Zay, now you know why the Grateful Dead had millions of fans that followed them everywhere, aka Dead Heads. I personally saw them in Maine, Wisconsin, Florida, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and it was the best 15 years of my life. A deep and wide "rabbit hole" with many different styles and genres. Blues, Funk, Gospel, Jazz, Modal, Country, Rock, Polka, in short Americana. If it was good music, they played it. The voice was Mr. Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, the guitar was Mr. Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia, along with Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzman and Mickey Hart. RIP Pigpen and Jerry. Take what you heard and continue for another three and a half or four hours, and you'll know why all the fuss. You're on the bus.
Now you no why we as in us Deadheads would quit our jobs to follow these guys around the country. Lol The lead guitarist is the late great Jerry Garcia. Who left us in 1995 for the grate beyond. The Grateful Dead is one of the worlds most recorded bands they have 30 years of night after night recorded in vault. That they have been putting out on CD for years . You my brother just got on the bus as us Deadhead say and there's no getting off. Lol
Hey Zay! Great choice! Now you've opened up 2 rabbit holes, at least from my perspective: The Grateful Dead and The Black Crowes. The Crowes did a cover of this cover and, while I like this version better (because who doesn't like the Dead?), I think that the Crowes' cover did the song well, just in a different style. I'd request either the Grateful Dead-Scarlet Begonias, or The Black Crowes-She Talks to Angels. Also, super funny "coincidence" (I think it was intentional, but you never know): The Dead's version of Scarlet Begonias has a length of 4:20.
@@tommathews3964 The first instance of 420 was in connections to students at San Rafael High School in 1971 (a secret code that was used, at that time). The song debuted in March of 1974.
@@tommathews3964 I appreciate you taking my response well. I was worried I was going to come off as one of the "well, actually" crowd, which is something I try to avoid as much as I can. Hope you're well, friend!
@@therocknrollmillennial535 Absolutely appreciate you setting it straight! I'm so used to the 420 celebrations in Denver and elsewhere, and the way the current generations use the term, etc. that I clean forgot about The Waldos!
That's SO freakin awesome to actually watch someone experience the Dead and REALLY see what it's about. My recommendations: Live Dead (the album) Dark Star, Closing of Winter land album, Fire on the Mountain. Check out how they go from one song into another without stopping.
the grateful dead were an amazing band! they did just about every style of music that you can think of. if you wanna go with more blues i’d recommend turn on your lovelight, here’s a link: m.ruclips.net/video/QfKVZkZP2_8/видео.html here’s a bonus recommendation, eyes of the world, very jazzy feel to the song. here’s a link: m.ruclips.net/video/vzhqlsN2xRs/видео.html enjoy!
How about more Pigpen? Try “Easy Wind” from Workingman’s Dead? “Gotta find a woman be good to me, won’t hide my liquor try to serve me tea.” And, “Turn on your Lovelight” from the “Live Dead” album. Yeah 👍🏼
Wow well done - excellent selection for your first Grateful Dead! Definitely stick with live music by them at least for now. For the Dead, the magic happened on stage, not in the studio.
Grateful Dead forte is psychedelic music. They were pioneers. Review "Dark Star" off of Live Dead. The epitome of psychedelic rock. It's the song that started my life long obsession with the Dead. That was 52 years ago.
personally i like the version of this song off of fallout from the Phil zone, not sure but the band itself 'may'have been better on this or at least close, but the fallout version the crowd REALLY makes the song, just electric feel to it. i found it awhile back on you tube i think its was maybe August 16, 1971 if memory serves, ya think this was good? that one is Fire. both are really but i like the fallout one. maybe check out some other Pigpen tunes like 'turn on your lovelight' or 'good morning little schoolgirl' without Ron 'pigpen' they lost most of their blues sound and went more of a mix of jazz and bluegrass.
Lol, I don't know how I found this vid, or how I even got into this supposed genre of "watching other people discover old music for the first time." But I gotta say, I'm still enjoying it. Lots of others are more "classically trained" and will pause the music frequently to share their opinions on it. It's fine, but I like how this guy just ended up listening the whole way thru. I don't know if that's odd or common for him, but I liked it. We got to jam out together, at the same time, no interruptions. I'm pretty sure I liked it better than people who pause the music. I might be coming back.
You’re not goin to like everything they do. They’re so eclectic and consistently inconsistent. But there’s a lot of funky intense jams that you’ll really enjoy since you dug Hard to Handle. There are hotter versions. Some of the Funkiest most intense grooves I’ve ever heard are from the Dead.
This is one of their worst songs you could react to. It's not even their song, it's a cover. Can't wait to see more reactions to them b/c they are incredible. Check out: The Other One, The Eleven, Shakedown Street, Help>Slip>Franllin's Tower, Saint Stephen, Chinacat Sunflower, I Know You Rider, Ripple, Uncle Johns Band, Eyes of the World, Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain, Mississippi Halfstep just to name a few.

Best dead reaction I've ever seen dude
NOW we are talking!!
Indeed brother
Grateful Dead.....TRULY one of a kind. Their nation too!!!
You have to hear China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider from the Europe 72 album
Once you go down this rabbit hole it is an endless source of amazing music.
Be sure to check out their song “US Blues”. Smokin’.
This is the perfect starter Dead song! So many more to find. Enjoy!
Grateful Dead have over 500 songs in their library - pick one, any one....I will tune in for everyone you play.
Welcome to a new world Zay! Enjoy the ride brother 💜
one of the few bands i can recommend live recordings

Fun fact, their song “Truckin’” was inducted into the Smithsonian Museum archives as a culturally significant piece of American art.
YAY!!! This is the best stuff the Good Ol' Grateful Dead!!
This band is a threshold to a whole different world.
I LOVE IT when youngsters discover Grateful Dead for the first time! Welcome to the family!
Terrapin Station off Terrapin Station is a brilliant tune. The Dead would play for 4hrs or more live. Never playing a song the same way two nights in a row, one night for 8mins the next for 28mins. Thus they allowed recording devices and they have 1,246,323 bootlegs.
Welcome, fam.
I love their song 'Shakedown Street'.
Sung by Pigpen, written by Otis Redding. Pigpen sadly died at 27. The Grateful Dead did a lot of blues in their early days. Please play "Ripple" with the original GD video.
I was just at the hall of Fame the best thing they have for me was pigpens mini banjo or whatever it is.
Thanks , I have horrible hearing loss and am always hunting for crisp recordings
joined the 27 club
Their shows were like one big, colorful vivid collage. So many songs so many genres and landscapes.
And the most beautiful women…
Always love seeing the birth of a new Deadhead! It starts so innocently....😎
If you liked that, check out the same tune from Hollywood Palladium on 8/6/71. OMG!! 🎸🔥
The matrix version on the Wayback Machine. Fire!
You should really really REALLY check out China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider from their Europe 72 live album. Two songs they always played together, and that version is widely considered the best with good reason
Love seeing a lot of Heads in these comments ♥️💙
Brown Eyed Women from Europe 77’, Althea, Ripple… so much good music. Can’t go wrong

Absolutely glorious. It's so good, I actually hunted down and visited Pig's grave. There were gifts and flowers on it. People love him to this day
Its a Otis Redding song

Welcome aboard the 60’s San Francisco hippie scene. Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir were such a power house. Be careful tho it’s a long strange trip🤜🏼🤜🏼
Shakedown street by the grateful dead
I’m telling you bro you gotta hear me out. With the dead it’s all about live performances. I’d love to hear your reaction to one of these.
Mississippi Half Step - 09/25/76

There’s that 77 Love! Try Jack A Roe and Samson/Delilah from 5/17/77. 💥🔥

Yoo gdf give this dude love nfa
The Dead- Veneta, Colorado - 8/27/72 'playing in the band'. If you thought 'bears choice 'Hard to handle' was groovy try this.
May I suggest New Potato Caboose from their Anthem of the Sun album. Thanks Bro!
totally thought this was The Black Crowes....the music industry is always fucking with our minds
Play terrapin station, sugar magnolia, he's gone, st. Stephen, broken palace, dark star
“Estimated Prophet,” “ Scarlet Begonias,” and for more Pig, play “Easy Wind” off Workingman’s Dead. 👍🏼

Live early Dead is a great intro! Pigpen and Jerry snarling.
How about more Pigpen? Try “Easy Wind” from Workingman’s Dead? “Gotta find a woman be good to me, won’t hide my liquor try to serve me tea.” And, “Turn on your Lovelight” from the “Live Dead” album. Yeah 👍🏼
If you want to hear some straight up funkalicious jammin', you have to check out the Dancin' in the Streets from Cornell 5/8/77.
Great Choice. Check out Europe ‘72 China Rider. Good start for anyone dipping their toes in the wattah

Ya a fairly new band
Do Dark Star. Either the August 1972 at the Olde Renaissance Faire in Oregon or the one on Live/Dead!
Dark Star 2/13/70 is a gold standard.
Diggit pyschedelic California hippie Funk
Good Lord! I can recite this tune word for word, but I never knew it was originally by The Grateful Dead.
It’s by Otis Redding. Was a pretty new song still when they started covering it.
U.S. Blues
just pig and the boys sloppy jalopy r&b 👍🏻❤️🔥💀🌹
5/8/77 dancin in the streets. Barton hall
5/9/77 opening medley of Help On the Way/Slipnot/ Franklins Tower is scorching. That would be my recommendation to to next

terrapin station is the best dead song. estimated profit a second
Play shakedown street

Bear says 400mcg is enough to make anyone freakout. So I'd be cool to see mayer on that!! I'd take
the same & watch him as long as I could, lmao!!!!!
Album cut recommendation - Shakedown Street off album of same name.
Good music is good
You have got to try the Black Crowes covering this song. It is fantastic.
Bro listens to black man's song. Extra Extra!!
Youll be a head within 30 days my bro lol
two drummers
I would do Scarlet Begonias --> Fire, 5/8/77!!!
Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower - I Know You Rider
"Scarlet Begonias" is one I like.
"He's Gone" is a personal favorite. It's more of a bluesy song.
Grateful Dead -- Eyes of the World
Now I might be up half the night having a Deadfest.
You’re not goin to like everything they do. They’re so eclectic and consistently inconsistent.
But there’s a lot of funky intense jams that you’ll really enjoy since you dug Hard to Handle. There are hotter versions. Some of the Funkiest most intense grooves I’ve ever heard are from the Dead.
Go for Lazy Lightnin’ / Supplication from 5/8/77 next 😎
Not even the best live version of that song. The rabbit hole is very deep with GD
More 🐖 pen
Get on the bus
I like the Dead's original songs. They are terrible at covers. Listen to Otis and then this crap, day and night.
This is one of their worst songs you could react to. It's not even their song, it's a cover. Can't wait to see more reactions to them b/c they are incredible.

Blasphemy! Great song!! May not be theirs but it's awesome PigPen brilliance!! Take it back Geoff 😂
I Know You Rider is a cover version too.
Wrong. Great song from a great era.
Only a passable version of this song. Listen to the original by Otis Redding and forget this version.
