I agree, especially that run at the very beginning of Scarlet Begonias. I don't think l've ever heard him do that on any other performance of the song.
I’d love to know what it felt like when jerry hit that first solo in scarlet begonias. The only way I can describe after every time I hear it is “elevating”
Discovered the Dead about a year and a half ago. I’ll always remember, I stumbled across thIs cut of FOTM from Long Strange Trip, and those first 15 seconds into the song, I stopped working and thought, oh my God, what a crescendo of just sound. The whole band just comes through beautifully. This version of Scarlet/Fire, is and probably always be my favorite piece of music, and the “song” I want to send me off into oblivion. the Just truly amazing stuff
Sorry, Jerry's just the greatest. Sweetest guitar licks of anyone. He takes a theme and plays it up and down and inside and out and then expands it to the outer reaches of the universe. The Bach of rock guitar.
Now let us observe a moment of silence for all the Deadheads lost that day, not quite making it through the transition, perpetually humming the Garcia lead line, eyes fixed staring vacantly off into space as if they never left Barton Hall.
All those slackjawed bug eyed Deadheads who may not have even noticed how irritatingly the music's PITCH was so graciously adjusted to a most New Age rationalist appeasing A = 432 Hz instead of the key or timbre it was recorded or performed in. For "better sound quality"!
Chills just went up and down my spine! I could Jerry just grinnin' from ear to ear! You know they are loving what they are doing! Thank you so muck for the upload! Fuckingroovin'!
Ty for the HQ sound. This track bumps so hard. Even the tape I used have was very good quality. Must have just been a very high fidelity recording. They picked a great night to kick up the quality.😂
Thanks so much for this one, one of my all-time favorites. Another request though - the St. Stephen medley from the Cornell show. If it can be done, the progwalrus can do it!
432Hz, also known as the "miracle tone," is said to be in harmony with the natural vibrations of the universe. This music has been designed in 432Hz for relaxation, meditation, and healing purposes, to promote a sense of calmness, improve sleep quality, reduce stress and anxiety.
Fun fact - Enter the date for this show and only the date to Wikopsdia and this show is the first thing to come up on the search engine. Even the web knows a great show
The post-acid, pre-cocaine period of the Dead from 72 to 82 is sprinkled with sublime moments of melodic patience - nothing is forced. Nobody is trying to do too much. Simple, tight, clean CSN-type American Beauty/Working Man's Dead harmonies with Garcia informed more by the sweet rhythms of Bill Monroe rather than the chaotic free jazz of Ornette Coleman. And the unsung hero of Cornell 77? Keith's grand piano.
I know A as 440Hz. (My tuning fork for my guitar) So, my question is: you did what to this recording? Please if you have the time, explain. A = 432Hz... 😁😁😁
@theprogwalrus do you have the full show remastered in 432hz? I used to listen t(at will) to the full show remastered in 432hz by a son for his father. Please contact me if you have the full show or who originally remastered it.432hz. Many Thanks.
There are parts of others, some phrasing and energy that I think is really amazing: but those great parts don't come together to form a whole as satisfying as this one.
Being out of line would be making a profit out of it. This is solely for experimental use. If you don’t want 432hz, then just go listen to the original.
Other than Phil and Jerry I don't understand how people are more obsessed with these slow late 70's Scarlet/Fire's when compared to the 80's and early 90's. There is ZERO inventiveness from the drummers.
Bill with a solid back beat and Mickey with lots of Flavor. Keith at his prime harmonically pleasure each thing that comes out of the stringed instruments. Bobby is also on his shit with super inventive rhythm as always, even playing that china cat lick in FOTM that was seldom played in '77. With all respect, don't know what you mean homie.
Not to take anything away from this show or this magical moment, but I think he's talking about comparisons like this: ruclips.net/video/-uYVPvtLan0/видео.html
As much as I love The Grateful Dead and respect Donna's time with the band. I, for the life of me, cannot stand her singing AT ALL. It is the most annoying thing ever. I leave the Grateful Dead channel on Sirius XM (on at all times) and when I hear old live recordings with her just wailing and annoyingly interjecting herself where not needed I just have to turn it off. It just kills my vibe in the jam for some reason. I try to tolerate it and get over my negativity about it but I just can't.
Ha, that's funny. I kinda understand where you're coming from. Yet in this performance she's right in the pocket. Loving everyone's contribution to this rendition, musically speaking.
Totally agree. Bag of starving cats. The boys knew she couldn’t sing her way out of the shower. Just too lazy to fire her. Can’t think of a single song she’s involved in that she doesn’t damage or completely ruin. As Jerry said “Having Donna in the band was great, she just couldn’t sing.”
I agree, the guys mixing most of the mid to late ‘70s shows should be rounded up and charged with crimes against humanity. Like what would the Italian judicial system do to someone if they went all around Rome smashing Bernini sculptures? Don’t care how high they were, that was wrong and they should have known better.
I think she oversang and tried too hard. I don't think that shows up here, though. But, I totally can appreciate where it doesn't fit. Plenty of those songs do that like Looks Like Rain and numerous others where she and Bob don't connect.
47 years ago!! Still one of my favorite pieces of music.
I was 6 months old
Just about the best 27 minutes of music you will ever hear on Planet Earth ... Sooo Grateful ❤
About the most nicest comment on this earth!!!
If I had to attempt to argue this, my only possible exibit would be the St. Stephen> NFA > St. Stephen that closes this set. Lol.
Q3qq+qqqq+q@@ragweedpollens
Holy crap Phils bassline is amazing from start to finish
Listening to this in 2021 is a testament to the forward thinking of the band
10/10
when Phil is on, always the best shows.
I know, love how it stands out from Jerry's strumming, but blends beautifully with the piano.
Phil is absolutely jamming in this show!
@@alexandermcginnis-noaafede5897 Well put.
I agree, especially that run at the very beginning of Scarlet Begonias. I don't think l've ever heard him do that on any other performance of the song.
The best Dead Concert I have ever had the pleasure to experience for all time !!!!!!!!
Best American band ever
By far. And I think they're also the MOST American band.
Agree ... but Heartbreakers are a close 2nd :)
Beautiful jam than can be looped endlessly
DJing the night shift, I play it every night. Never. gets. old.
Thanks for the info. I never would have realized it.
The segue is transcendental! That place around 11:40 where they turn the corner into Fire still gives be full-on chills!
100% !!
I’m right there. Phil’s bass is so smooth at this transition. The whole band just jives. Musical masterpiece.
Any corner into Fire is phenomenal-it’s a huge sigh and grand smile live
You're a couple of minutes late. The turn was at 9:29. 😅
After years of disliking the Dead, this is what got me on the bus.
Same here!!
Yeah I had to kinda separate the music from some deadheads I'd known that turned me off, and also separate it from my preconceived notions.
Bloated excess lol wtf
Hop on the bus and let's go to school 😃
@@easyandy1978lol
I was at this show. It was good! I first saw them in 1973 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ. That show was real goods!! 🥳
I’d love to know what it felt like when jerry hit that first solo in scarlet begonias. The only way I can describe after every time I hear it is “elevating”
Bobby classic: "All you people need to move back...or feel real guilty"
“What do you mean no?”
That’s was how I had this tape labeled back in the day. Take another step back….
One of if not the best Scarlet/Fire.. They're all so on point! Even Donna 😂
Donna was fire!
but she is especially great on Scarlets' Winterland in '74.
This is the best Scarlet Fire!

Like many others, I believe this performance may have been this band's best of all time. Perfection in two songs.
Sorry, Jerry's just the greatest. Sweetest guitar licks of anyone. He takes a theme and plays it up and down and inside and out and then expands it to the outer reaches of the universe. The Bach of rock guitar.
Wow. That's a big statement. I'm afraid it might be true.
The best live music ever played by anyone ever, cornell 5-8-77
Playing this at work so everyone can taste this sweetness
Same!
Word, the night crew shall know the truth!
you are FIRED boy...
listening to this for the umpteenth time...music at it's best. the ultimate jam!!
Insane. Sounds like a full symphony orchestra.
That whole section from 16:30-18:30 gahhhh gets me every single time. And that squeal at the end. Friggin. Fire.
It definitely takes me places no drug ever could
Really in the pocket
…..
and @24:50 he touches the stars! Yeeeehaaah!
Jerry's solo in Scarlett is close to perfect -- and to think he was improvising, that's genius right there folks
Now let us observe a moment of silence for all the Deadheads lost that day, not quite making it through the transition, perpetually humming the Garcia lead line, eyes fixed staring vacantly off into space as if they never left Barton Hall.
The Brown Eyed Woman from that show is fire. That guitar solo is just piercing. Jerry😊
In the the strangest of places if you look at it rightightightightightightightightightigh - (collapses in a heap)

Greatest piece of American music ever made.✌️🇺🇲
Thank you for the 432 hz version much appreciated
Incredible quality. My fav show ever probably
i agree... no way to go wrong here... best dead ever .. ... is there other life ...... yeah. to both ..
Had to listen twice in a row, just incredible.
This is one of my all time favorites.
This just blows the top of your head clear off...
God himself listens to this
I heard God himself was jerry garcia, our lort n savior.
Herself
@@alexscritters262 Probably
Jerry personally plays and sings it for GOD!
@@mattcouch2965 do you know full well that Jerry did not think this
This is the good stuff!
Love love love music at his purest best
the recording quality is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!

Thank Betty Cantor. It was hers. She did most of them and it was the arena and how she set everything up.

i had this tape back in the 80's and decided to look for it today on youtube, i believe phil was playing a fretless bass this show?
I had the tape in the mid 90’s. I remember it was the first thing I put on when I got my brand new 1997 Honda accord.😂
Take another step back

Soooo soo good
This is a mellow version compared to 4/27/77. Passaic NJ

This is fire 🔥
It's Scarlet/ Fire
On the mountain
with a hint of scarlet 🌺
Very nice!
Minute 13 when Fire comes in I melt.
Where did you get the picture? Like most things the more you pay attention the more interesting it gets.
It's the official album cover of this show. Cornell '77
Dead to the core
Yeah, Phil is driving the bus.
"All the people in the front here are getting horribly smashed". Got to love Jerry
That was Bobby, Jerry never said anything.
When my son was three years old he would sing fire on the mountain when scarlet begonias was ending

Killer solo
Cornell 1977, one of the best
Yes. This SF is a cliche by now but when one really listens to Jerry it’s off the charts.
It’s always been my personal favorite SF since I first got my hands on Dead tapes in the mid 90’s.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Y’all know this show never happened right?😎
Full of folks who never attended the show??
Ithaca was different but it wasn’t this one

Thank you!!
Was there ever a better version than this one?
Greatest dead concert of all time in my opinion. Something clicked that night so many years ago and they just took it to another level
Imo this scarlet>fire is a favorite. They keep it real tight, don't get to lost. It's perfect.
No
There are parts of others, some phrasing and energy that I think is really amazing: but those great parts don't come together to form a whole as satisfying as this one.
haven't heard one. and I've poked around...
Was this played using the wall by chance?
No but it's a "Betty board", Betty Cantor soundboard recording on high quality tapes.
14:26 iconic
If you like A=432 ,by all means use it. But changing the music of artists who did not use it is out of line
Being out of line would be making a profit out of it. This is solely for experimental use. If you don’t want 432hz, then just go listen to the original.
Ive been there before.
Philllllll!
Dooooope
Jajaja so fuking awesome
Hi! I in.
