Living historian of a rock band? This ain't no Rock band. I don't know what the fuck they are but if it weren't for acid, they never would have become famous. What did the grateful Dead fans say when he stopped taking drugs? Damn, this band sucks
You're over 50. I'm over 50. But I have decent musical tastes. Doesn't require me taking fucking acid or mushrooms to dance around like a moron for 25 minutes solos. Absolute garbage
I was cleaning Mike Hagen's storage trailer out a couple years ago so I can put a few things in there (still there, I hope) and found his brother Johnny Hagen's stash of stuff (I have a video of it). Including a set of original Herb Greene photos of Jerry and Pigpen, and unused backstage passes, and a bunch of great stuff. Mike was prankster #0, as deep in the history as you can get, and a sweet guy. Still lives up on the hill and has rather epic stories.
That's awesome thanks for sharing would have jumped for an opportunity like that, have always been fascinated with the pranksters and the electric kool aid aid book.
I met my brother for the first time at 35, he lived in Livermore and wanted to show me this old abandoned race track, turned out to be Altamont, I walked around taking everything in, meeting my mom and now getting stoned with my brother at Altamont, great day. While exploring a blue belly lizard ran up my pants leg, so I am shrieking as I could feel it's little claws getting closer to my junk, I dropped my pants and chonies and was dancing around yelling when I finally got it off, my brother who I had known for less than 3 hours was on the ground laughing his ass off. When I first met my Mom and brother on the way to see the Dead for the New Years shows in 88, all I knew about her was she lived in the Bay area, on the way to the show I stopped in Livermore for some cigarettes, I saw a phone booth and looked to see if I could find her name, which I had done in many other cities and towns, this time i hit pay dirt, so I called and told her who I was and she asked where I was and told her, she said dont move and was there in 3 minutes... she lived right around the corner. If it was not for going to that show I may have never met my mom or brother. I have not thought of this for many years and am not sure why I am sharing with you but thank you for stirring up old memories with your old memories.
I’m an older Deadhead. But have gone through many sadness in my life ! To sad to go there but I’m so happy for u to have found ur family ! Grateful to ur brother who seemed to love u as u were ! ❤️🐰🐇🌹👽🪐🛸🚀✨🌙☄️⭐️🌟⚡️🗡️🩸💀☠️🫧💦💧🌊😥😢🥲sadness for who I’ve lost in my life , my soulmate Jerry Garcia who when we met the energy was so strong that we couldn’t even hug the 1 st time until we had a chance to talk + get to know eachother before the nite was over !

You certainly were in the right place at the right time.... And it all started from being kind to a stranger. I love the Grateful Dead, and I love your stories. You sir are a legend. Peace and love always to you and yours. Long live the Grateful Dead!!!
Everyone need to sub to big steve,and even more importantly, share,only way to share this amazing knowledge of the best band that has ever been...thanks so much Steve,this is great!!!
As a teenage kid growing up in Port Chester NY...The Capitol Theater (around the corner from my family's Tavern) was Rock&Roll heaven to me. I got to attend many concerts there between 1970 and May of '73. My personal favorite was the Joe Cocker MD&E concert. I know that many of the Capitol "stage hands" and "roadies" from various bands patronized the bar in the Tavern. I'd be interested to know if any (older) members of "The Dead Family" remember the Tavern around the corner from the Capitol Theater in Port Chester. One of the Capitol stage hands invited my Dad and a bartender to listen to the Dead during a summer concert in 1970. It was 2am in the morning and in true form, the Dead were still playing...with the stage door opened due to the hot weather. So my Father (RIP) got to attend a Dead show one year before I did. When I asked him if he liked "The Dead"..His response was.."Yea...they weren't too loud..". My Dad got see Duke (Ellington), Benny Goodman, Glen Miller and Cab Calloway...so he understood the importance of "live music". I caught the Dead at the Cap during final concert during the Feb '71 week long "residency" at the ripe old age of 16. But it would be two more years before I really "got on the bus..". Looking forward to this series...subscriber to Dead.net
Big Steve, You had some magical shit looking over you all. You are a hell of a storyteller my friend. I am a member of I.A.T.S.E Local 16, San Francisco. A fellow Stagehand! I know you did a lot more than that though! I worked on the lighting rig and did follow spot at Oracle Park for Dead and Co's last shows. Our office knows I am a big Deadhead so they put me on that show. Jerry and the Dead get me home from work, crossing the Golden Gate every day and night! As Robert Plant once said 'Whole Lotta Love!' I could listen to you tell stories all day long! Kurt in Santa Rosa, Ca.
Thanks, Big Steve!! 1st show 74 Roosevelt Stadium N.J. which led to a lifetime of shows. Have my mail order tickets for the Madison Square Garden shows in 95 which sadly never happened. Saw all the different versions after Jerry passed. Fun but not the same, I miss and enjoy him every day
Thanxz Big Steve my first show was 72 a Black panther benifit show I really miss Ramrod ❤ I was blessed to work.with the band in the 90s with Gino and chez Ray
Big Steve!! I heard about your RUclips show just today listening to your weekly Big Steve hour. Nice to have another dose of your wit and wisdom and storytelling. Best wishes
You guys changed the history of the world in so many ways. Please tell us more of these awesome stories! Thank you. I give thanks to the universe to have been around for 14 straight years of Dead shows.
Big Steve I had binoculars and my fav thing to do was watch the crew put things together and the placement design to fit the room was fascinating. Audio you guys were tops. Hear y'all was like the quality of the sound would draw you in. The clarity was so appealing. I was 16 when I saw The Wall. I'm 67 now... Thanks for all you do
As a 5th generation NY stagehand and a big fan of the Dead, this is amazing! I also loved the book Steve!!! Acts of kindness Change lives. I cant wait to see the next episode!
Well "Big" Steve, I didn't realize you were still around until my wife said she was listening to you on Sirius GD channel in her car. Anyway, brings back many memories. I related to many things you were saying about Jerry and his non-egotistical attitudes on life. I witnessed this many times, but one example is when my brother and I were waiting in line quite a few hours early to see the JGB play at Theatre 1839 in SF 1977 (I saw Jerry and Merl Saunders play there too). Anyway, there were only about 20 people in line when Jerry pulled up right out front in a non flamboyant old Mercedes rag top. Guitar in tow (and leaving the car unlocked) he greeted all of us waiting there and strolled in the front door. Just another soul going to the show. He liked (as you know better than I) to get to the "gig" early to get the sound right. It was right that night. He, John Kahn and Bill Vitt cranked out a massive show that shook that theater to the foundation. I don't recall if you were there or not, I was only maybe 18 at the time. I have other stories of meeting him in Portland and Eugene, Oregon, that can attest to his non-egotistical attitude on life. Since I'm retired now, I may try to call in to your radio show and have some yaks.
First thing is Thank You! There isn't enough space to say how much I enjoy the Grateful Dead music, I can't really listen to any other music. I live out in wheat country, middle of nowhere, not to far from Pendleton. I guess really what I just wanted to say is Steve , thank you for taking us along, and remember always that I am appreciative of everything you helped with , why? Because the music has helped me so much, and as a full time biker, I know the importance of giving respect and learning from people like yourself. I enjoy listening to you man, like your style, time to smoke here first thing, and get into episode 2. I was gonna call your show, I figured I would thank you here in the comments, so yeah, thank you, have a great day !
My old man left me in jail general population for a weekend when I was 18 to teach me a lesson and I never went back again. I was so pissed off but eventually realized the value in it. He actually did me a favor and I learned deep down to avoid the behaviors that could ever put me in that situation a 2nd time.
The best lsd trip i had, we where on train tracks and it was on a very steep hill and there was a tunnel down the hill water would go through, you can look down and see a small pond of water, we would through rocks in it and the ripples would change colors in the sun, it was so beuatiful looking. We sat there throwing rocks for hours. It was a memory i will never forget.
This is great! Nice one Steve for sharing your amazing stories. For someone like myself who loves the Dead and psychedelia I could sit listening to this stuff all day long lol...
I hung out with a band called "Tumbleweed" in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. A guy who was a friend of the band named Plum Boy was big into the dead and in 1970, I began to turn into a deadhead. I got on the bus for myself at Winterland in November of 1973.
What an incredible story! I'm only in my 40's and am obsessed with the Grateful Deads music, and this story with the pictures is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!!
thanks for starting this relationship with us all, Steve! I was lucky to have lived in Menlo Park from jan '67 until june of '68; having come up from LA, and then back there after. hitchiking up the bayshore into the city, heading to the Haight and Golden Gate Park starting at the tender age of 14; whew! lots of free shows, and the Avalon and Fillmore; you're bringing back a lot of memories.... the bus came by, and I got on....
What a gift Big Steve is for everyone. Aloha to you, Big Steve-mahalo nui for sharing your amazing stories! Grateful for this RUclips channel. One hour every Thursday isn’t enough for the wealth of knowledge you give to us. A hui hou 🤙🏼
Just found your video(s). I read your book "Home Before Daylight: My Life on the Road with the Grateful Dead". It was great. Obviously you are one with many memories - very detailed too.
Fellow Queens kid here! Had my beers stolen in Astoria Park by the NYPD many times 😂Loyal listener of the Sirius show (ie- weekly Dead related therapy session) and so happy you’re doing this ..wishing you nothing but the best.. hope to see you at The Sphere /Vinetian that first week in June..
Appreciate all your rock and, roll backstage epic tales from your journeys. Shock hands with many rocklegends and , Have had many moments Backstage in my days. This is a wonderful epic show. Appreciate that your sharing story telling of these epic moments Thank you , Steve Love ya , late 🤙🏼Maxwell 🌊
🌹 Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile! I used to be soooo nervous walking up the stairs to the stage via Phil....lol...you're not scary..lol..God bless fascinating Bill Graham and a big hug to you! ❤🙂🙂🙂
Thanks Steve, for all this, and also for the oak tree 🌳 tip! I’ll try that out next time I feel like I’m too high. Wisdom straight from a very powerful source.❤❤❤
So interesting to hear about the formation of the road crew in Episode 1. I guess it's the logical place to begin but also especially interesting to me because not to long ago I wondered how everyone came together. Now, lo and behold, here you are telling the whole story. The Dead have been part of my musical life since 1972 when I first heard them at a friend's older brother's house. Thanks to you and all the crew for your hard work over the years in bringing the band to the people so we could hear them play live. It was always a wonderful experience. By the way - Subscribed!
The most important living historian of the Grateful Dead has a new RUclips channel??? Hell yes, I'm hooked!
Stevie is on old rikers island man wadda ya know. He even met hoffa
Living historian of a rock band? This ain't no Rock band. I don't know what the fuck they are but if it weren't for acid, they never would have become famous. What did the grateful Dead fans say when he stopped taking drugs? Damn, this band sucks
agree
The story teller makes no choice. His job is to shed light. Exquisite story teller, exceptional memory. Bravo!
You're over 50. I'm over 50. But I have decent musical tastes. Doesn't require me taking fucking acid or mushrooms to dance around like a moron for 25 minutes solos. Absolute garbage
The part about the tree of life and staring at a😮 oak tree if you’re tripping too hard directly from Bear himself is legendary!!
i have always been drawn into the woods.
I was literally just gonna type that
I was cleaning Mike Hagen's storage trailer out a couple years ago so I can put a few things in there (still there, I hope) and found his brother Johnny Hagen's stash of stuff (I have a video of it). Including a set of original Herb Greene photos of Jerry and Pigpen, and unused backstage passes, and a bunch of great stuff. Mike was prankster #0, as deep in the history as you can get, and a sweet guy. Still lives up on the hill and has rather epic stories.
