Grateful Dead - Opening Sequence / U.S. Blues (Winterland 10/74)

- "In Jerry Garcia's original nearly five hour edit of the Grateful Dead Movie, he had the film opening with Uncle John's Band. A wonderful track, with a terrific performance filmed during the five night run (and later released as Bonus Track on the DVD in 2004), but it didn't have the weight of movie's opening sequence that Jerry wanted. In a typically inspired moment of brilliance, Jerry came up with the idea of opening the Grateful Dead Movie with a cartoon, just as films had been presented with cartoons going back to the Golden Age of Cinema. Gary Gutierrez was hired to create what, to this day, is one of the wildest, most visually stunning pieces of animation ever paired with music (heck, it's spectacular on its own!). To my eyes and ears, the Grateful Dead Movie is perfect, and part if its excellence is the opening sequence. When the crew breaks out of jail and lands themselves in Winterland to dance to the tune of U.S. Blues, it is a perfect cinematic, and Grateful Dead, moment." - David Lemieux

360P? Seriously? Is this 2006?
You've released videos from this same movie in 1080P...
You have enough respect for the music to release albums in 24-bit/192kHz, why not show the same amount of respect to the videos?
Keiran Higgins just be grateful man :)
@@oka4678 dude! Thanks for the laugh! Sitting here in my truck, filthy dirty, working construction, takin' lunch, 60 yrs old, and I just lost 40 yrs....my arms got all goosebumply, I felt that trippin' rush and I was there again just a sweatin' and grinnin' pin wheels covering the dashboard! Whatever format this is in it was pure and clean....woa boy!!! Peace! Luv u, mean it!
Keiran makes a valid point though, they've released other footage from this show in HD, and the fact that this is lower quality than standard def is sad, considering the beauty of the sequence.
@@oka4678 What are you? A Grateful crybaby? Back in the day we would walk miles in 4 feet of snow just to meet the guy that would spin us a 4th generation copy of a bootleg cassette. Did we complain ? Noooo...! We smoked the guy out and may or may not have said thank you. The actual verbiage used is lost in a haze,but we were thankful.
I just came back to watch this... after seeing so many of the images re-appear in the Sphere opening night visuals. I love that Dead & Co did that..... like a retrospective! Made me smile, smile, smile.
same exact here. I remember seeing for the first time that skeleton riding his motorcycle while The Wheel is playing on original movie. Just that few moments of hearing Jerry play the pedal steel on that song blew me away and got me hooked on the Dead.
My mom let me take a week off of high school to travel from Denver to see these shows in SF where my older brother lived. Sitting on the sidewalk outside of Winterland all day was so much fun, those are days i will always cherish "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead Concert"
Thank you, Bill Graham for the Fillmore East, and bringing the West to the East. Was there every weekend, the band didn't matter.but The Dead was the Best. They were there all the time, even bring the NRPS, that was a trip. " Who are they", must be good if they open for the Dead. Gerry would FU up on the petal steel, give you that big smile, and go further. Marmaduke, RIP. Quicksilver with Cippolina and Nicki Hopkins, a delight and classy jam act; no one like them now. Grace and the Jefferson Airplane loved the place, they'd come in mid-week and play for GA, cheep. Country Joe and the Fish, always had something new and big sound , Barry Melton. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, The Who..if you were a Music Freak this was the place. And you could SMOKE there,,,no hassle from the ushers. We always had 7th row left side, Gerry's side. He'd wave to us all the time, especially L. Garcia, the model. She thought they were related. Then it ENDED. Other places tried, but not the same, John Scheer, Capital, in NJ. a dump, a jerk....Still a Dead Head, Woodstock 69, Too.
And, there never shall be.
They are not the best at what they do,
But,
They are the only ones who do what they do!
I remember being a teenager and seeing this (opening sequence to The Grateful Dead Movie) on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert one weekend. That got me interested enough to buy an album, which, got me intrested enough to go see a show, which.... pretty much changed my life forever, man.
I love the guy at 9:40, he's so happy!!
He actually looks happier than most people on their wedding day
@@davcav8372 haha! Excellent.
I love the little dude that falls to his knees playing air guitar right around 8:59.....you can almost feel the happiness that is emanating off him. :). God I remember that level of happiness you only get being so young and carefree and at a dead show- take me back home!
Burnin' the Candle at both ends was fun back then.......
Been there done that , got the tee shirt , Twirled a little and went home. 💃
The only thing that makes sense these days is the Grateful Dead. Listen often!
And play it at high volumes, on a decent system. Get 'deadicated'! 😎👍
Man im hip
i agree in all my sense!
And Black Sabbath
Everyday man Grateful Dead forever!!!
when you were raised by a dead head and this cartoon intro is one of your earliest memories...
Watch this on VHS, literally, hundreds of times, over the years.
Man the acid was so clean back then
Matt Aronowitz still is
One Bite it’s hard to find people this happy at a concert anymore
Still is! If not cleaner then ever! Lol
@@MattAronowitz It's even harder to see a live concert, period, these daze.
Same man.. but times gotta change
Whenever Jerry and Bob smile, all is right with the world...
I remember seeing the movie in a theatre. It traveled with its own sound system. That sound system became the THX sound that many theatres have today.
The cartoon/graphics - all done by hand before CG.
SO FREAKING GOOD!!❤
We will get by ... this darkness has to end ...
Ahhh, Jerry looked so young and thin!
Eric Blaustein haha. I thought you were talking about the skeleton
Beautiful that this was kept & restored to be able to be persevered like this. You already know if another band did a sequence like this during a show it'd be lost to time
One of the most painful facts of Led Zeppelin, they jammed live but weren’t preserved like the Dead were
Why Is the video not in 1080p???
This is from the movie !!
thank you so much , peace
My son loved the Dead , I miss you Pookie
I was at this show.
Its 2024 & I don't see videos like the begining cartoon anymore. Where have all the artist gone? The answer is bolwing in the wind
Right on ✌️😁
Extraordinary
When I first saw the movie, I was so hoping the entire movie was just a cartoon with live music backing it.
Right on man!
❤
WAVE THAT FLAG!!!!
WAVE IT WIIIIIDE AND HIGH!
This looks cool with 3D glasses
And the question we’re all still wondering about: what ever happened to “ponytail dude?!!”
I don’t know… but I really want a custom made pinball machine with the graphics at the beginning of the video!
1979 University Theater ... midnight movie, some sticky thai buds and Good Ole GD movie ...
5:29 what is that song? beautiful
The wheel

The Wheel by Jerry Garcia.
The Wheel ⚙️
Same story I know it's been told
Yhe more things change the more they stay the same?
First time i be allone in he famalie place.
Dear Grateful Dead, I am grateful. Always have been. BUT, All The Years has not lived up to the expectation I had hoped for. Especially since it was set by the GD youtube channel. When referring back to David Lemieux introducing the kick off for All The Years on May 16, 2019, he states, “…releasing unreleased Grateful Dead concert videos”. To be honest, most, if not all the video has already been released and available from other sources. What happened here? For many of us that attended many shows, we notice by the soundboard, high quality camera work happening and wondering, will a video of the show ever be available in the future? The future is now. Isn’t GD pursing this footage and cleaning it up and remixing the audio? The money is there, you have the talent, and resources.

01.50 Min.
Very well said, the fact they uploaded this is in 360p is a disservice to the beauty of the opening sequence, only thing i can think of is that they're doing a blu-ray release and are saving it for that.
Dave, for all of us stuck at home and quarantined - can you please post that 5hr edit by Jerry?! Thanks
✌♥💀⚡🌹
Now that be AMAZING
Agreed
The best band the whole wide universe....long live the GREATFULDEAD.....LONGEST LASTING CONTINUING TOUR🤣
Yes please
Oh, please do!!!
❤
We’re all confused, what’s to lose, you can call this song the United States blues.
💯
'Wave that flag, wave it wide and high...'. 😎👍
....BLOOZE!
The amount of splicing and editing in this cartoon must have taken months. There’s thousands of images used. What editing techniques were used to make this?
We need an Act of Congress to replace the Star Spangled Banner with U.S. Blues. I'd stand for (and dance to) the national anthem every damn time!
I saw the movie in a theater when it was released. They had quadraphonic audio system with massive monitor speakers temporarily set up. It was as loud as any concert I have ever been to.
It was great in a Theater!!!
Yes, I remember it well. It blew my mind and I remained 'Deadicated', from thereon in!
Absolutely better at this live performance. I drove up from LA to experience one night of this show. The Wall of Sound was something to experience live and this concert is by far the most memorable concert I ever had the pleasure to part of. I say that because the entire audience was a part of this scene.
I watched this tripping balls so many times my vhs tape was ruined. Psychamuffakkindellik👀
Give me 5. I’m still alive!! Ain’t no luck... I learned to duck!
And wash my hands.
Hang in there America and all the world
We will get by
The Dead mellows me out in these scary times. Good to be an old hippie I guess.
THIS, is the greatest thing to happen to youtube yet, and certainly is one of the greatest things to watch while stoned

I had a music teacher in in 1981 that showed us part of the grateful Dead movie as a little education on acid rock she was a great teacher
Flashing back, sandeigo civic center, yup ....... next ...Pauley pavilion UCLA festival seating, man.. happy people, dancing, no need for negativity!! People are feeling like a big family party, trading red Rose's 4 some micro dots. Cause there's nothing like a GRATEFUL DEAD CONCERT! Ravers, this the OOgs of .party that never stop, cross country and world! RIP JERRY GARCIA! Peace love happiness listen to da dead daily dancing the day away with a smile!
This looks like what I see when I close my eyes to go to sleep
Friend's basement good acid one hell of a fun Saturday night lol
gotta love LSD
Dose this face 😛
😀
😎👌
THE WHEEL! JUST IN TIME TO SAFE US! AND A LITTLE US BLUES! Ladies and Gentleman introducing the real Grateful Dead!
“If the thunder don’t get ya then the lightning will”❤🎉😊
Hi everyone.... stuck at home. Quarantined. Haven’t been to work in 6 days.... can’t wait for Big Steve show later and my byte size delivery of June 1976 at midnight. Have listened to all of PNW, Giants Stadium, May 1977, Sunshine Daydream and all of #TIGDH for the past 9 days.... I hope all of you are doing well and keep washing your hands!!!!!....
Undead Chronic's Son if you have to be quarantined, it would be hard to think of something better to do than what you’ve listened to!
Get ready to fight for the Freedom that is the Grateful Dead man,yes the virus is real and so is the Psy-op takedown techno financial crisis that's happening ( ' look at all those beautiful people rubbin' ana' psychedelic rock buck dancin' goin' on ), the fuckers that control the planet want to take it all away. #MoreThanAVirus #Theanswerto1984is1776 China is mostly back on line as of now, if this goes on more than 60-90 days in the USA? Mad Max / Brave New world, Black mirror coming out, once we lose these rights to be a deadhead like you see here, many will have to die to get those freedoms back to come close to living like that! Happy Trails! Peace
I've decarbed and ready for quarantine if need be
Greetings from Oregon USA.

@@chris7brook Dude, I hope you dried out and got clean.
This video made me cry tears of joy while on shrooms
Now I want to watch the Grateful Dead Movie tonight.
Same
Right!
Me too !
Why 360p though? They released morning dew from the same show in 1080, would be amazing to see the animated intro in high def!!!
And, it's a kick ass Morning Dew, at that. As is, Stella Blue!
3:33 - Translation of what U.S. Blues Skeleton is saying: "Ick oh age. Woppy na wuhh." That is all. :-)
YOU CAN CALL THIS SONG, THE UNITED STATES BLUES!
If anyone out there has any kind of feelings please hold onto them there may come a time in your life when you’re feelings overwhelmed you but don’t push them away hold them close to you and listen to the grateful dead
That be deeep!,,? ..... but those who went to a concert like me never forget..... wow ....2 hours early parking lot was unforgettable fun,things to sell,swap ,free stuff, foods....etc..... then the lights go down and here we goooo, Yeahhhh!
Feelings are what keeps us unique and powerfully alive.
wish I was on Acid be more trippy
Saw this at the Theater on Acid.
Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Give me five, I'm still alive
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck
Check my pulse, it don't change
Stay seventy-two come shine or rain
Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Been hiding out in a rock and roll band
Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan
Shine your shoes, light your fuse
Can you use them old U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
Back to back chicken shack
Son of a gun, better change your act
We're all confused, what's to lose?
You can call this song the United States Blues
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
My my my oh my my my my

I remember seeing this movie for the first time in 1978. Had my wineskin full of Boone's Farm Stawberry Hill and brought a bong. The theater was a cloud of smoke. Still the best concert movie ever made.
Imiss Gerry soooomuch😭and PigPen... And all the others that filled in and died over the years.. the resilience of this band is A true testement to the power of.... The MusicNeverStopped.... And so... THEY KEPT ON DANCING......CUASE THE MUSUC IS STUCK ON IFINITE😁
We're all confused. What's to lose? #flattenthecurve. Stay well Dead Heads.
This gave me a sweet seizure.
I miss peace, pot and microdot. Most of all, I miss Jerry ❤️
Im hear becausr I just painted a design of the dancinf bear logo on my clients curb address.
Swiss
This tickles my brain. The Grateful Dead are the masters of the mind. I needed this.
I love this so much, is there a higher res version anywhere?
The guy at 9:41 was having so much fun just another classic trope of being a dead head
This is incredible. Always one of my favorites. Eep Hour is so underrated and to hear it takes me everywhere! Great job, DL!
I was on the sound crew for a City run Slowmobile in the 70's. We had a 6AM call but nothing scheduled until 9. EEP HOUR was blaring at 6:05AM. Got in trouble.
A daily Dose of The Dead is good for the mind, body and soul… ✌️😎
It was way better even the mescaline was top shelf way better than today's shit
I can't tell if this would be good or bad to watch on acid lol it's really trippy but also creepy
very good
I just did. The loud noises were kinda bad, made me wig out a bit
1st! Classic track. Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam
That's who I am
Ahh...to have the exuberance of a 16 yr old again. Still LUV this movie / Concert...especially the opening.
UNCLE SAME, THATS WHO I AM, BEEN HIDING OUT, IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND
I bought my first Harley,,rode proud
Forever and until the end of days I will forever be a grateful dead fan❤❤
Deadhead s are biker too, especially use Irish.
LSD Made in Switzerland?
Swiss LSD made by Sandoz pharmaceutical company
It took Jerry 3 years to get it right and was it worth it. Filmed in 1974 released 6/2/77.
I saw this as a college student new to California as a midnight show at the Orinda Theater over Christmas Break 1979. One of the best rock concert movies ever, comes as close as one can capture a Grateful Dead concert without actually being there. The cartoon is still brilliant, especially considering video editing with computers was nearly 20 years away when this was produced. I later became a high school history teacher, and when I wanted to try to explain what the zeitgeist of the late 1960s using a video, I picked this: wildly experimental, anti-authoritarian, hedonistic, both transcendent and at times self-indulgent, and a very tribal experience (the Winterland audience). My students though I had gone mad, until I explained it to them on a second, stop and go viewing, and then they got it. I did have to explain pinball machines to some classes, though.
That was the first moment many of them had ever considered that the "hippies" were not just about drugs and sex (though they were that) but also a counterculture that had a strong ethical and anti-authoritarian political thread running through it, and had in common with other moments in U.S. history (the Transcendentalists, the Beats) a rejection of the prevailing morality in favor of something more honest, more celebratory of the senses, more ecstatic.
I've retired, but I wonder how I might use this in comparison with more recent musical critiques of mainstream society, such as hip-hop.
@@markfrommaryland3825 you're a good man to go back and explain to the students some of the hidden meanings in the animated beginning, my favorite is Lady Liberty holding the scales and what makes them move. So deep, so true and compelling.
Lsd brings all cultures together.
I too have danced like them, several times, in the presence of Jerry.
Ahaha they drew the cop as a pig
This entire Movie Concert Is Absolutely Mindblowing, I'm gonna be Listening to the June 1976 Boxset all day Tomorrow, oh Yeaaaah !!!!!! 💀⚡
GGP 420Boy WHOOOO HOOO! Me as well and I can’t wait!!!!!
I haven't received mine yet , can't wait
This blew so many college dorm minds in my day. This is an essential video to have to watch after chiefin’ up in the woods behind the dorms and came back to watch this animation and opening. And listened to music and shot the shit.
