- "By the end of the Europe '72 tour, Playing In The Band had stretched out to close to 20 minutes, where it would remain (and much longer many nights) for the next two+ years, through the end of 1974. This is the version that appeared in the Grateful Dead Movie and was included in its uncut entirety on the CD soundtrack to the Movie, released on 2004." -David Lemieux

#GratefulDead #AllTheYearsLive
Imagine a life without the Dead its good we don't have to!
mashallah.
going to a Grateful Dead concert was a pilgrimage
At 4:20
i was thinking the same thing lmao
I saw the Dead in I believe July of 1972 in Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. About 5 am they got into a prelude of Playing in the Band. As the sun rose they were singing Day break day break cross the land. The crowd went wild
Was Bill there?
Love the crowd.
Alice was definitely present 😂
? @@jonmacdonald5345
Donna Godchaux looks like every girl that tore the heart out of my chest in high school
psychedelic rock at its absolute apogee. Hauntingly beautiful, off the charts musicianship
This is absolute gold. Long live Bobby Weir.
Very nice thank you for sharing. Boy do I miss dead shows. Love 💕 to you all. 💜🎶💃☮️🤙🏼🌹🎸💃
Love that this was shot on actual film it's so crisp you can see the diolated puples of people dosed up in the crowd at a few shots
I just said this same thing to my husband. It’s just brilliant I felt like I was there!
LOOOOVE! I miss Dead shows so much!
Big shoes to fill...
Beautiful 😍
5:36 I hope that lady still knows she's a stone cold goddess. :)
The Jerry kick at 1:16 ❤
At 00:45, that’s my mom in the psych ward hospital gown. She has good days……and bad.
Ah yes those classic 6 minute PITB's from '74... Come on why not release the full jam.
EDIT: If you want to hear the full thing Christopher Hazard has a brilliant video on his channel with the full jam. No video of the full thing unfortunately, just what's shown here, but the audio is great.
Facts
Chris is a life saver
personally i like the very early versions from 71 when it was totally new and unrecorded and the audience clapped along was very high energy ...
Link?
😊
Please return these to weekly - we love them and we know you have the footage! It's nice to get some 1970s stuff here but this version in full was part of the Grateful Dead Movie, which is already released. Also why not release the full jam - you even say it's 20+ minutes long. Come on fellas!
That full jam is over 30 minutes long.
That jam is inarguably over 1,969 seconds long. 🧐.I hope to add strength to Cascadia Uploader's request by throwing my own (identical) request in the mix! "Please allow all Heads, everywhere access to Dig on, the entire jam". I personally will groove out with(an appropriate amount of) passion! Keeping my fingers crossed, with thee sincere intent of revitalizing interest, I'm placing an official offer of this; "I will be your best friend"! Thank you, for your kind attentions😁👍.
My wife and I fell in love with this song, and then got married
The husband writing this. Great band. The woman dancing is awesome. I grew up with them and my best friend we met in 1972 and still together today as best friends. Love that woman so much.
My first time hearing this rendition, and I am enjoying the living hell out of it.

Thanks David
Why not just release it all in full, it's 30 minutes long and you put out 6 minutes of it
Great footage and a great extended version of PITB but a real shame that it was edited down so much.
This is so good. Bobby and Donna sound great!
Seriously! I think it's because their sound system was so much better and they could hear themselves/each other properly. I mean, you compare this performance versus, say, the 8/27/72 Veneta show or the one recorded in Bremen, Germany during their Europe '72 tour (the date of the one I'm thinking of is 4/21/72), and this is so much more refined than the other ones. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like those ones too. But Donna particularly shines in this video. She's pitch perfect, doesn't go too far out with her vocalizing, and the song has such beautiful dynamic during the solo part.
brilliant exposition of the communal deadhead philosophy.
How lightly Billy holds dem sticks lets them dance on their own
Many people have trashed Donna Jean for her singing... people, the dead could have put a tuba player and a guy who could only whistle "dixie" on stage i could get up and dance to it... The band put her up there, and kept her up there, so they must have liked what they heard, and THAT ladies and gentlemen is more than fine by me...
Been DH since 77. Some of my favorite shows included Donna. That the fellas loved her should be enough.. I'm not a this or that lineup guy, ain't got no time 4 that.
@@jamespriest9658 too busy dancing and lovin that sweet music
Our yoko… and about as talented as yoko
Depends on the song for me, although I will admit she doesn’t really have good stage presence. She mostly just stood there awkwardly and didn’t seem to be as into the music as the rest of the band was
@@noahmezan2073 as far as particular songs we all have our personal "best". As far as "stage presence" its not like the rest of the band were doing cart wheels, or flying thru the air on ropes for a feeling of "stage presence" pretty much like the crowd, do what you feel, dance or sing along, its all good... as far as "being into the music" when I'm at a show I dance, when I'm under my headphones at home, I'm perfectly still cause I'm dancing in my mind
I'm continued to be reminded of how the early 70s were the Dead's golden years, with all the videos of that era being total fire.
Absolutely. As someone born in '95, I can't claim to have ever seen the original group.. But I am also free of the typical OG deadhead bias where the era of their first show is by default their favorite era.. Having the luxury of being able to absorb the performances of every era, and the evolution of their set and individual songs.. I always find myself coming back around to the opinion that pre-hiatus Keith era (roughly '72-74) was their peak/definitive era.. for me, about 85-90% of their best material was there.. not to mention it contains the bulk of their tightest, liveliest, and most consistent performances.. their improvisational style sounds much more streamlined and sophisticated than the early years, but still contain an aura of inspiration and exuberance that was often lacking in later years.. despite the loss of pigpen after '72 (who penned some great originals w/ Hunter in his final years), as well as the absence of later trademarks like Jerry's funky mu-tron sound and the 'drums/space or your money back!' guarantee.. they were such a tight, cohesive unit.. bill was able to shine like never before or since without mickey (who should have been a full-on auxiliary percussionist, instead of the proverbial superfluous drummer which effectively neutered the drums for them from then on, because to avoid stepping on each others toes basically requires both drummers to be relegated to lifeless metronomes).. and jerry was in that sweet spot in his playing.. between his early period, mixolydian banjo triplets for 36 consecutive measures overplaying, and his later period, forced/strung out chromatic overplaying.. also that killer strat/twin reverb sound from '72 was his best tone hands down.. and finally keith, my favorite keyboard player of theirs, was also in his prime.. light years beyond pigpen in ability, and never more than the tasteful piano/organ/rhodes sounds, which have aged like fine wine compared to the hodge podge of ass/literal fart synth/midi sounds of the brent era.. sure donna was tone deaf on stage, and her harmonies on playing in the band were flat on a good day, and unlistenable on a bad day (though i try to remind myself that stage sound monitoring technology was still pretty terrible in those days).. even she had her moments, and has the rare distinction of being the only piece of eye candy amidst an otherwise disheveled roster of depression-era boxcar hobos..
Which is not to say that they ever stopped being good.. In fact, they were still better overall than just about any other group from their era until the very end.. cuz most bands from the 60s/70s got together at some point and collectively decided to start sucking ass by the 80s and pretty much never do anything worth mentioning for the rest of their careers.. whereas the dead kept rolling, enjoying a brief public resurgence in '87.. on top of staying fresh, hungry, and inspired via their live shows, which, due to their spontaneous/unpredictable nature, maintained the same general spirit and energy throughout their entire career.. even in the mid 80s, and the last few years, when jerry was barely keeping it together.. even me, at my most pessimistic, and having hindsight to inform me roughly how a show will sound and how 'on' the band will probably be in a given era.. i can never write them off completely.. that spark of not knowing exactly what to expect is always there.. even if they suck for all but 10 minutes, that one x factor could very well make it all worth it..
nevertheless, '72-74 all the way. those few key years are the definitive proof that they were every bit as good as any band before or since.
I'm building a Time Machine and I'm going back .......''' Best Music and Band Ever !
Please make a two seater. I want to go too.
merci Mr 👍
continuer Mr Bob wier
I would like to see more Jerry Garcia Band footage.
Gonesville, baby!
... . ...::. ..... .
Brail "I love the Grateful Dead"
OK........that was good. Thank you so much.
Edit: I miss Winterland so much as well. And being young, too. Anyhoo, thanks.
How come not all videos uploaded from these shows are as high quality in 1080p!!?? ALL WINTERLAND OCTOBER 74 CLIPS SHOULD BE REUPLOADED IN 1080p!!!
Pretty sure they didn’t have access to 1080 p cameras back then… I could be wrong but….
@@Smegma_pirate you are wrong but also not. Film doesn't have a resolution like digital, so true, they did not have 1080p cameras. But film captures a much more full snapshot of light, allowing you to blow it up to enormous resolutions without it looking grainy and shitty. This video itself was uploaded at 1080p. Since film negatives don't have a set resolution, you can scan them into whatever resolution you want. I made my original comment because all of the other videos from this reel are uploaded in lower quality but this one is in 1080p. All of the shots from these shows are 100% available in 1080p, they are just locked up in the vault.
Edit: they could upload this shit in 4k if they wanted to LOL
How is everyone complaining about Donna's vocals when Bob doesn't sing a single note in tune in this whole song?!
Bob Weir is clearly one of the great singers in American history. He's still singing and selling out stadiums 50 years later!!
Then again, this is really wonderful footage.
I agree. Being in the crowd is wonderful.
Awesome
Hi I am Bob I’m tripping balls so I’m gonna sing the second verse twice😂
Donna, man 🤘
no because the brief moment of panic on bob's face when he realises he fucked up the lyrics singing the same verse twice and donna teases him about it. man. not to be all american sitcom about this but i felt god in that moment. lol.
My pops was there, at the same age I am now ❤ Definitely got his spirit and am proud to take after him as his crazy deadhead kid
There's two kinds of Dead performances.... those with Donna, and those missing Donna.
And, two types of comments. Those from you, and those not from you!
What about those with Pig Pen?
@@frequentflier9095 He missed those.
Phil looks extremely baked here LOL
He did sing the same verse twice😂
What happened to the good parts? Haha I get it but come on!
Right on .. happy Cinco De Mayo heads
✌🏽Happy Cinco de Mayo
Not just for the Dead, but for many other vocal contributions in American roots rock, soul and blues, Donna will be recorded in history for her outstanding contributions to ... (See her Wikipedia page) "a vocalist on hit songs at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals in Alabama... Percy Sledge on "When a Man Loves a Woman", Elvis Presley on "Suspicious Minds'' and other Elvis songs, and for many other pre-Dead vocal parts for Duane Allman, Boz Scaggs, Neil Diamond, Cher. It's too bad she didn't get more lead vocal part with the Dead, would have been great.
Godcheaux is a man in his 20s who looks 43.
Keith led a rough life, but boy could he play piano. His playin on this jam (not shown in full here sadly) is brilliant
Nicolette Larson, would have fit in perfectly with this band.
Trump 2024
Harris 2024 😁
Yall need to chill. Her yelling for 8 bars is the least offensive part of this entire song.
1:10 wonder what jerry said
He said, “get off the stage, I am going to slay it”
Im here to hear if Donna will screech at some point.
Oh fuck you know it.
She’s the reason I can no longer tolerate this tune.. she’s our little yoko
Bobby got the first line wrong!
Can women please bring that hairstyle back. It's so hot
Love those hippie chicks! Where are they now?
Even if some if thise hippie chicks were under 18 in that video they would be 63 to 67 years old now but toni basil over 75 still can move and dance better than alot of young kids so maybe some of these hippie chicks can still dance aa well but most are probably grandmothers now
The real dead heads
Love to see all them pretty little hippie girls dancin'.
Those people are our friends.
✨⚡💀⚡✨
How can you not love her ? She is absolutely adorable. The right girl at the right time. Precious time capsule.
nah. don't make it weird man. lol.
How would you know ? You weren't even born yet homie
@@Sam-zo6pi yeah i was born in a generation that respects women. lol.
You have to get one first kid
@@HotFirePDX Donna shows are the best!!!
I respect your opinion, but Donna makes the show!
I like records without her, but those with her are on another level!
...all the years combine, they melt into a dream
I love the Grateful Dead
Yak 'etoo
I like the Donna years. It was just another lineup phase in their long career. Donna songs are completely different than the Pigpen years, which are completely different than the Brett years.
It's all good no matter the timeline
bleus for allah inchalah
bonjour 👋 de casablanca maroc 💯❤
mon 1° 33 tour de feu jerry garcia
Ain't much in this world better than a good Playin jam.
It’s better sans donnas wailing
@@Smegma_piratetough break, hater
Hey, at 3:59 you can see Pedro Pascal in the audience. Dude's a time-traveler.
Take that you Donna haters ⚡✌️🌹🎶❤️
She’s terrible
@@Smegma_pirate
I knew one of you would check in soon..
There, s Donna haters in every crowd. 🎶✌️🌹💀⚡
I realize a lot of Deadheads (and Bobby) didn’t like her but I feel she added nice vocals -and they needed another voice.
This proves my theory that anybody who went to a dead concert must have had some kind of really terrible experience with LSD.
THE QUALITY!!!
Others look for fights…. Aye!
She was a ray of sunshine and that’s what the music called for ☀️
A happy group of people tripping balls at a Dead concert… God I miss that!
Psst... It's still a thing.
You-Tube! Your not going to please everyone!. Saw this tour in Missoula Montana 1974. Rolling down US 12. Getting music I haven't heard in 40+ years. 👍
That Missoula show is stellar until Donna takes over the second set
I enjoyed her singing, and she was responsible for leading Jerry Garcia to Jesus Christ before he passed.
Paul, I hope this is true! But how do you know?
Where can I read up on this?
Cant we get some unreleased footage? We look forward to these vids but its all repeat stuff. How about some more 90's stuff. We know you have it crispy in the vaults. Maybe some early 80's? Lets get creative.
They don’t have all that much in the vaults. It is limited.
lets get really raunchy with some 84-85 "lost years" Dead releases
First!
L❤ve
yep
Think about it....this'll be 48yrs ago in October
😁...🔴⚡🔵
50 now
Well now it's 50
I'm an anachronism. Should've been born about 30 earlier than I was...

Love PITB
was released as a vinyl LP in a limited edition of 7,400 copies on November 23, 2018, as part of Record Store Day Black Friday. The album contains only one song, "Playing in the Band". At 46 minutes in length, it is the longest continuous Grateful Dead song ever recorded!!

That's me.
The jam part is what makes this song, or else it would just be A-D for two minutes. Mosg bands would have given up on the song as being too simplistic, but the Dead were able to transform it into something amazing.
Wasn't t in to the Dead by 1974 . More like KC and The Sunshine Band , Eddy Kendricks , ABBA , Foreigner, Deep Purple , The Who , The Kinks were still kicking around, Paul McCartney an Wings , Thin Lizzy , Boz Scags , Santana , and some othersd.
The Soundboards from the October 1974 stand at Winterland are awesome. My favorite: 1974-10-18 which includes Seastones -> Dark Star
Phil?.... WOah. One tends to forget about bearded Phil.
Sounds similar to Proud Mary
Try tuning your guitars, try to sing in key. Maybe you're too stoned to tune or sing. Well, everyone is stoned so it doesn't matter, history of the dead.
The pride of Sheffield, Alabama…Donna Jean
Really Great❤️😎🎸💀
what fun.
Donna!
