Truckin' -} The Other One -} Morning Dew
12/31/72 Winterland, San Francisco, CA
Today is the 40th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead's amazing performance at Winterland on New Year's Eve in 1972. I can't think of a better way to celebrate that milestone than by selecting the "big jam" from that show to ring in 2013.
I'm taking the day off to pop the champagne cork. Today's write-up comes courtesy of the Dead Essays blog. I hope you enjoyed the 2012 edition of the Unofficial 31 Days of Dead. Happy 2013 all!
"Technically this show was the first of '73, starting at midnight and continuing til around 4 am on January 1! But the second set shows no sign of weariness -- if anything, it's one of the most inspired sets of the month.
A fine long jam comes out of Truckin', not explosive but full of anticipation as Garcia sounds eager to roam. He starts playing excited Other One runs while the rest of the band is still in Truckin'. They stay in this transition a long time -- Garcia won't let go for the usual drum solo, instead the Other One slowly emerges as Garcia dashes from one new theme to the next, the jam getting more inspired as it goes along. After Lesh finally plays the Other One Intro, the band oozes into a very pretty, drippy jam.
They abruptly pause for a drum break, followed by an aimless Lesh solo -- as he goes into a repeating bass riff that would be very common in '73, the band spins out of this into a fullbore jazz jam. David Crosby has joined them on a twelve-string, giving them a more dense and cluttered sound -- he fits right in (he had also played on the 9/10/72 Dark Star), playing chordal backing along with Weir. The jam speeds up, Garcia barreling along at warp speed, the atmosphere electric, more happening than the ear can catch -- Godchaux in particular is outstanding throughout this night's jams, in his element as he drives the band forward. All of a sudden they stop for a very spacey wah-wah interlude, Godchaux's piano-tinkles and Crosby's bending chords ringing out loudly. Garcia slides into feedback, Lesh pushing him with loud rumbles, the band jabbing in spikes of fizzling confusion, and they rip into a short but powerful Tiger. Dazed, the band drifts, Garcia's guitar creaking and rattling as Crosby adds to the mayhem. Somehow out of this, Weir bursts into some chords and it sounds like they're going into Me & My Uncle -- but it turns out to be a new jam. Just as it gets hotter and seems due to explode, Garcia drops out for a while and it's time for a Weir chordal solo -- once Garcia rejoins him, the band drops nearly to silence. Out of some drum taps, suddenly Lesh rumbles into the Other One again, and we're treated to a very hot entry into the verse.
The biggest surprise of all happens after the verse -- instead of an Other One jam, all of a sudden Garcia slows down the band on a dime into a superb, sweet instrumental that must be heard to be believed -- it's not at all like the Dead's other jams in these shows. It almost sounds like they rehearsed it for just this occasion, it's so tight and evocative. Garcia's lead is simply fantastic, one of the most transcendent pieces I've heard him play. Lifting to an even higher level, this passage ends with Garcia's violin-like volume-swell solo -- Crosby backing him with graceful notes -- which slides fantasy-like into a dreamy Morning Dew. Crosby & Weir add a very phased sound to Dew -- Garcia's singing is heartfelt, and he plays a powerful middle solo. The ending jam, growing out of Garcia/Crosby twin leads, is very deliberate and extended with Crosby's heavy chords and Garcia's fanning, ending this long jam medley with an emotional bang . . .
. . . And with that, the Dead bid farewell to 1972. The next month would be a busy one, writing and rehearsing several new songs -- and in February, they'd come back to the stage with a smoother, more relaxed style.... But that's a story for another day."

Thanks again.😅🎉😊
I was at this show. It’s way up there with being one of the most self assured performances over a sustained time that I ever heard from Garcia. They are all on fire!
i need to find out how to email the channel owner we need more videos it’s been 8 god damned years
This has always been my favorite Dead jam. Jaw dropping.
Psychedelic video--- A++++
Very, very sick other one jam. Some sites refer to the mid portion as jam-space-jam. It is one of the most intense, psychedelic jams I've ever heard. I definitely left my body......
I love how far Phil let's the conversation between Garcia's insistence that the Other One is the shape of the next sound and Keith's exploration of the space created go on. All the while, Phil just keeps reminding us where we took off from until finally agreeing with Jerry's fully painted mosaic and allows it all to Explode
Beautiful

does anyone remember Ken Kesey jumping out of a bucket on the left and another guy on the right> They Land on the stage at midnight heralding 1973 painted on the buckets. They were in diapers which led to the other guy pranking Kesey by ripping off his diaper while the Dead played Round and Round then Kesey rips the other guy's diaper as well. Impossible to forget. Crazy good time.
Never head before a so long Truckin version....over 14 minutes
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....
AMAZING!
Thank you!
Tanks for posting...real good dead performance..begins in last 72 minute and goes on '73...
Uncle Jerry always comes through
Awesome
It would be cool if there was one of these set to ‘Going down the road feeling bad.’
Why are the best GD jamaramas during the days when Mickey Hart wasn’t on the stage ....
Rhetorical
This is a grand adventure; like oh so many from late 71 thru 74.
I’ll take those glorious 36 months over the entirety of everything else; if given a choice.
These jams feel like endless wondrous eternity, and I could spend forever in them.
Your premise is wrong. Thus your conclusion entirely insufficient.
Morning dew start over 55 min from begin...few space for that song...
