I was at this show and I remember them playing this song specifically because I remember the head behind me standing up and yelling, "WANG DANG DOODLE!!!!!!" before anyone else realized what they were playing. XD
Every day I have Grateful Dead in my mind.Their music fulfills my heart with warmth, kindness and bliss. I have to smile in random situations because I remember a sweet melody of Garcia. One of his creative magic moments that I can't forget. He had so many. Like the whole band. I see that I found something that let's me shine from the inside no matter what happens. And I can now give that shine to all around me.
On fire and smokin hot. That was a great chunk time, that long moment that was the late 80's Dead Era. Jerry's gritty vocals, the enter play between Brent and Jerry, Phil's relentless bass and those two syncopated Devils working like clockwork madmen. Lets not forget Weir's vocals and his command of lyrical recall. I could listen, all night long.....Thanks
"Debuting in August 1983, Wang Dang Doodle was a sporadically-played addition to the repertoire until late 1988, when it found a more regular place in the rotation. It was always interesting, however, where it would appear in the set. In early days, it was a show-opener, and was most regularly placed in the blues-song slot early in the first set, as it is here. Occasionally, it would be found in the second set coming out of a bluesy jam." - David Lemieux

The GD's version is based on the Koko Taylor cover, which Joe Strummer called the best cover of any song ever. Jerry's vocals really recall her singing on this.
@@floepiejane That 4th of July show was my all time favorite of the 110 I attended. That Watchtower~Morning Dew~NFA was epic. Jerry hit high notes that I never heard before or since. Nearly perfect versions of every song played. The most soulful Row Jim ever too. LL Rain~Deal to end the first set. Deal was among the greatest versions ever played. So Smokin!!!
@@DennisCampbell777 It was my Got It moment for the Dead. It was so hot that day, but as Terrapin began, the rains came and finally cooled me down. Ahhhh, the Woodstocks that year 😏
His riff are actually pretty intricate for a backup guitarist. He walks the frets between most chords which is uncommon for someone trying to fill space
I love the Dead, but this rendition feels like it sterilizes away all of the violence and grit of the original. Something about 80s sound engineering combined with the stadium setup feels very disconnected from the juke joint origins of the tune. That said, it isn't a complaint, just a weird choice for them in my books.

Was there! Had to drive to Maryland after this show and go back to work after 21/2 weeks on tour! ❄️🌍❄️

this era of the Dead rivals any in my humble opinion. post Jerry coma up to Brent's untimely passing is magnificent!
Undoubtedly this era was the best of the best of the best of Grateful Dead...!!! Many greetings...!!! ;)

So, what's that got to do with the song
"only" lol. must have been great each time

@@artsamson4470you could say the same thing about 99% of the comments here, including your own.
Great song I saw them open with it at the garden, NY it was 1983 I believe.
this was a great show
Oh my.....the boys got down & dirty on that one & Jerry looking quite pleased about it all. '89 Dead....a peak moment in time.
Super Thanks In Advance...!!! ;)
Jerry’s feelin it! Hollering and rock starring! Brent’s even in quiet amazement looking at him
Meanwhile Phil in his tucked-in whale t shirt 😂 I f*❤ing love these boys
oh the Koko classic tune. nice guys.
What a jam
A concert from 1989, boy! A long time ago!!
If you listen to the original it really makes this cover hit. One of the best covers ever

@@DennisCampbell777 and a super-fun encore of US Blues on the Fourth with fireworks. Such a great day. Oh, and 10,000 Maniacs were great too.
@@floepiejane And that Terrapin!

The great Chubb Carrier (Ultra Sound) at 02:45

My first of many Wang Dangs.
It's obvious Jerry had heard Koko Taylor before.
Not on the Howling Wolf level but cool!
"that chick is a real good singer"
--- everyone before 1971
This is one of the very rare times Dead and Company actually has a better version. I'm not lying go. Check it out. Its here on RUclips.
Brent
Jerry is bouncing
Bob was a good vocalist (with a guitar), in the mould of Johnny Cash, Elvis, he was never a great guitarist, IMHO
His riff are actually pretty intricate for a backup guitarist. He walks the frets between most chords which is uncommon for someone trying to fill space

One of my least favorite songs from the band sorry but just 1 heads oppion.
