Some people - even some with otherwise great taste in music - just don’t get the Dead. You guys get it, and that makes this old Deadhead happy 😊⚡️💀
Yeah....I really know what you mean. The Dead have always had this sort of charming, honky-tonk rambling quality, loose but clean too. And Jerry's soaring, inspired guitar work. Beautiful tone, and he never crowds his solos or other work with useless note clutter. He's masterful for his silences, and the notes he doesn't play. Jerry understands pauses and silence--and that's part of the reason his playing is so subtle.
(~);} ✌🌺💯
1972 my friends dragged me to a Grateful Dead concert. They paid for my ticket at Roosevelt Stadium in NJ. I danced my shoes off. There is a term Dead Heads use. Yes I got on the “bus” that night, what a long strange trip it’s been! Still is.
If you are a lyric guy, they essentially had a top notch poet on hand in Hunter. The Dead's catalogue is essentially endless.
The only non performing member of a band in the RnR HoF
Really glad that you guys played this song!
Get the book Box of Rain by Robert Hunter if you don't already have it. The original lyrics were follow well but not always. I penciled in my side notes on every page. Yet another way to connect.
This 70 year old dude is soooo happy that you guys reacted to this!😊
Spot on comment!!!!!
"Can't put my finger on it, but it sounds good." Hell yeah, that's how we all got hooked, man.
I've said it before, but your enthusiasm and sincerity in reacting to songs us old farts take for granted is so refreshing! Makes us appreciate them all over again. That is what RUclips reactions are supposed to do, and you two do it perfectly. Going to be so bummed if I wake up one day and you brothers aren't there anymore.
Thanks Mark!!
YES sir
It is great to see 😊
La and Che. You are turning into Deadheads. You need a couple of ty die shirts. A lot more songs to check out. Spark one op sit back and enjoy 😊. Excellent reaction fellas. Much appreciated 🙏 ❤

The Dead were well known for bridging together two songs beautifully. Also, imagine sitting on a grassy hill in the sunshine listening to The Dead jamming for hours.
I don't have to imagine it. I got to do it.
Well in that scenario, bring the schrooms...
@@joelong7448so the grass spins and waves when you look down at it lol.
@@joshp2542 I was thinking about the situation. haha laying on my back looking up at the clouds watching them creating images and morphing into more images and just enjoying it all with friends and beers. ;)
@@J0hnGalt73Yep! Good times with good friends!
Btw if you guys really want to break down where the Dead sound comes from Phil Lesh the bass guitarist was a violinist playing classical music when young changed to jazz saxophone as he aged and ended up playing bass for the Dead and his style is influenced by Bach. Jerry Garcia the lead guitarist plays anything with strings (banjo pedal steel etc) and he played folk country and bluegrass early on Bob Weir the rhythm guitarist was originally into folk and blues and he is influenced by the jazz artist McCoy Tyner in his playing. The drummer Bill Kreutzman was originally into R and B and jazz. Two other members Pigpen McKernan on keys ,until his death was strictly into the blues and Micky Hart (not on this cut) was their second drummer and he was into International music. Put it all together and you get the Grateful Dead
Well said..I saw their last show in the States in 71 in Bangor, Maine before they flew to Europe to do this tour..the New Riders of the Purple Sage opened, Jerry played pedal steel...
forgot Keith Godchaux, a jazz\dixieland trained pianist...he is playing on this recording
@@kenbelke8549 I was just listing the Dead's influences rather than who was playing here. While Godchaux was great he was not really there to really influence how the Dead became the Dead.
@@t.j.payeur5331 I would have loved to have seen Garcia with NRPS. My first time seeing the Dead was Watkins Glen in 73.When I saw the Dead with NRPS later on it was Buddy Cage (who is great btw) but not Garcia on pedal steel. Garcia sounded special even on pedal steel but regretfully I never saw him play it live.
The only other thing to add, is that there sound Man, also happened to be one of the vary best lsd producers in the country. What the original commenter said, plus a huge dose of LSD. Other then the original keyboard player, the rest were like psychedelic warriors.
"I can't put my finger on it." Exactly. That's why we keep coming back. It's the most familiar thing in the world, and it's always just beyond our grasp.
Correcto!
It's because you are trying to describe their souls. Words fall short.
"They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do."
edit: for a great Grateful Dead jam session- check out "Scarlet Begonias/Fire On The Mountain" recorded at Barton Hall 5/7/1977.
We all know you meant 5/8. 🙂But the entire week was awesome!!
Absolutely. UNI-Dome 2/5/78 (Dick's Picks Vol. 18) for another great Scarlet/Fire.
Please when you do Truckin, do 5/19/74 Truckin > Mind Left Body jam
I love Terrapin>Alhambra from 3/18/77, myself.
Or all of that Barton Hall show for that matter...considered the best!
The Dead like Pink Floyd are a genre unto themselves.
Amen to that! The Dead are exactly unique unto themselves. They threw many musical ingredients into the pot, stirred it all up, and served it in a way like no other! I very seem them well over 100 times and no two shows were ever the same. ✌
Same with Steely Dan. All three have a sound that cannot be condensed into one or even multiple genres
Add the original Allmans too.
I’ve been listening to them for over 50 years and have seen them live 19 times (between 1972-1991) and I gave up trying to describe them to people or figure the band out for myself a long time ago.
Now I just sit back, listen to their music and smile.
Sure do miss those shows. When they played in cities, the "ramp garage people" were amazing. Have fun.
When he said he can't put his finger on it the first thing that came to mind for me was a band beyond description.
“Cat on a tin roof.. dogs in a pile..
Nothing left to do but smile smile smile”
😊😊😊
Only 19? I know people by the time I heard of them in 1980 who saw them 100s of times. But you were lucky to have seen them pure and young.
As Jerry said to paraphrase since I don’t have the exact quote, the Dead are like licorice, not everybody likes it but those that do really do.
Type of music: Grateful Dead 😎
They blow my mind in my sobriety as much as they did in my non sobriety. The Dead were the quintessential American rock and roll band.
"The Grateful Dead arent just a band, theyre an environment " if youre on the bus you know.
The first song, China Cat Sunflower, was created by the Dead themselves, the 2nd song was an old country/folk tune that they reworked in their own way.
Jerry Garcia, their lead guitar was actually deeply into Bluegrass, as a banjo player, in the years before the Dead came together.
Their bass player, Phil, was studying and composing modern Classical music, before he took up the bass to join the group.
Great choice for a live Dead reaction guys! This from their European tour of '72
I was wondering this fact. Specifically which concert?
@@johnl.6930 This was performed on May 3, 1972 at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, France
This music was made for dancing and smoking and drinking with your friends or maybe just with yourself! Let your boy Dark Star keep guiding you on this part of your journey!
The Grateful Dead are the originators of The Jamband. Live, improvisational jamming of any genre but with a hippy feel. That’s kinda their bread n butter 😉 They also, to me, are a fusion band. They play rock, jazz, funk, folk, bluegrass, country, Motown n everything in between
I was introduced to the Dead by cosmic accident in '74. My parents took my younger sister to the music store for her birthday and a cassette copy of Europe '72 had found it's way into their bag. So my first listen was Cumberland Blues. I grew up listening to Hank Williams, Johnny Cash etc. I liked what I heard but thought that sure is a strange name for a Country & Western band.
Lol
hahaha. Summer of 73 i’m thumbing thru my older bro album collection stacked vertically and I read a Mood Blues album and grab for it but accidentally pull out the album next to it which was Skull and Roses. Still not realizing I grabbed the wrong album I spin up side one and the opening licks to Berth explodes. “damn the Moody Blues are good!”
That's great. I once told someone if you want to see what the Dead do listen to Cumberland on the studio album Working Man's Dead, then listen to the live one on Europe 72.
Lots of pickup from the Allman Brothers here especially in I Know You're A Rider. I grew up with Country from the 40s to the 60s .. Jimmie Rogers to the Bakersfield Sound. My parents were big into Honky-Tonk and Outlaw Country. My parents were into Rock as well. So when Blonde on Blonde and Sweetheart of The Rodeo came along and then he Dead, Young, Allman's, The Band, etc came along .. well that's my Jam. Country Rock, Folk Rock straight or with other genres mixed in.
As a 20-year-old I had ended up by a lakeside in Nepal in 1978 after travelling the hippie trail from Amsterdam. A couple of freak brothers from Iowa City staying at the same lodge were playing the Europe 72 tapes every day all day. My first listen was Cumberland Blues and at first I just could not get my head around the Dead's music. After about a week I managed though. Still glad I did.
Their sound is simply the unique sound of The Grateful Dead, and it belongs to them alone. It is profoundly American music, folk and country and bluegrass and blues and rock and roll set against a psychedelic background. And you'll never find a better sounding live recording from this era of any other band! They had true tech wizards traveling in their circus, as devoted to their craft as these amazing musicians were to theirs. LOVED watching you guys bop to this incredible performance!!
They called themselves an electric jug band
This whole album is what got me into the dead...Europe 72..this is definitely one of my favorites..its like country rock on acid
The skull with the lightning bolt is called a Steal Your Face, after a lyric from the song "He's Gone", another of their "hidden gems". Dead Heads know it, but most "civilians" don't.
Stop trying so hard
The Dead were committed to living a life of improvisation. Sometimes it might miss, but when it hit, man it was magic.
"I know you rider" was first heard by a musicologist from a young black woman on death row in Louisiana early in the 1900s
😮
the sound of a Fender Stratocaster when played by a musical genius
Not bad for a 51 year old song
This is what country X rock X funk X jazz X blues X Motown fusion sounds like. This band is comprised of several members with varied genre abilities and backgrounds creating this unique fusion. Plus they were the early pioneers of psychedelic rock which has the highest level jamming and improv allowing them to maximize the fusing of these genres.
unique band.you want country ,check out workingmans dead album. you want jazz ,check out EYES OF THE WORLD SONG, you want orchestration, listen to terrapin station, you want soul ,you got jerry garcia band, thats what love will make you do and it goes on and on. you guys will love it all. thanks for playing some
Jerry is easily the most underrated vocalist and guitarist ever if you combine both into one category.
All the great guitarists love Jerry.
This is one of my most favorite pieces of music ever
The greatest band ever! The Beatles with balls!
So much of their bluegrass and jazz influence comes through in this live performance, and it becomes a uniquely Dead brand of funky groove. 1972! This is the perfect example to spin when someone asks “why are their live recordings so much better than their studio stuff?”
They are the ULTIMATE "jam band." They never played a song in exactly same way twice, they made up their play list on stage as they played, and--as in jazz--they played off of each other.
As for style, they were country, blues, bluegrass, rock, jazz...and pretty much anything else. They played what they felt. The thing I love the most about the Dead is the upbeat atmosphere of their music. You just can't help but feel good when they play.
Welcome to your Deadhead membership, guys.
First of all... thank you for the great reactions that you share on your channel, your perspective on the rhythms and the quality of the mixes is always appreciated. I am a long time Dead head and so it is good to see that you guys are heading down the rabbit hole of their songbook. I know that many fans are going to push for you to go after their live performances and I encourage you to also... I would just suggest that you first sample some of the Grateful Deads own live releases before you start into the mass of bootleg performances, which can be great but also uneven at times. The album Live Dead is a great recording of the Dead in the late 60's, Dead Set is a good one from the early 80's, and Europe 72 another fantastic recording of the band. Don't shy away from the studio releases also. American Beauty is a masterpiece, Terrapin Station, Mars Hotel and Touch of Grey are just another few that are well worth a listen. Best wishes to you La and Che on your journey. -Matt
Thank you so much Matt. We’re excited for this Grateful Dead journey. Thanks for the guidance.
Blues for Allah and Wake of the Flood are excellent studio albums.
Don't forget Workingman's Dead. That's got 4 stone cold Dead classics; Uncle John's Band,Cumberland Blues(check out the Europe '72 version),New Speedway Boogie and of course,Casey Jones
Not Fade Away / Goin Down the Road Fellin Bad. Skull&Roses Album
Yeah. I don't understand why that doesn't appear on more reaction videos. I think possibly even more than this one, that's the cut where you can confidently say if someone says they don't like it they're letting their anti-Dead animus get in the way. Or they just don't like music.
Nice guys! The dead are growers,it takes a minute to take all the nuances in . But keep going.they are the coolest story in rock . ..try some Jerry band stuff like knocking on heavens door,any bob Dylan cover by Jerry !
I'm7 0 + and this has always been a top 3 album. -the last 30 min or so - Prelude / Morning dew ' is sublime. M.Dew , written by Canadian folky B. Dobson, from the flick ' on the Beach' which 'll rattle yer brain. oh, someone made a real good Utube Vid. of about an hour of a concert from this run of shows. ( Tivoli ) .... late ps - song ' White Bird' from tangleewood ( utube ) band Beautiful Day
One of my favorite memories of the Grateful Dead:
My brother Ray and I drove down to San Francisco for the closing of Winter land. Had no clue how we were going to get in, but not having a ticket when arriving at a Dead show had never been an issue. We figured it would work out.
The Dead hit the stage a little before midnight and played til it got light outside. Breakfast with the Dead on a bittersweet New Year's Day morning.
Bob Weir and Wolf Bros. are touring right now, you should catch a show. The same awesome music and a great time. Love it all.
The best from the best.
This is there best live album. Many great songs.
Saw them many times live from 1977 to 1993. Such a great sense of community and joy. A lot of dancing amd tripping lol🎸🥁🤣😎
Rock promotor Bill Graham once said of the Grateful Dead they aren't the best at what they do, but they're the only ones that do what they do.
For those of you who didn't know, that's Bob Weir on lead guitar from 4:40 to 6:04.
Help on The Way/Slipnot the opening track on the album Blues For Allah. you should listen to that... The two guitars and bass hold a great groove flowing throughout and weave in and out of each other so intricately in the instrumental bits (Lovely singing too). I know most Grateful Dead fans favour the live stuff (and I do too), but this is my favourite track of theirs.
Can't leave Franklin's tower off that list!
Especially for these cats!
Yes, true. In fact, all of that album is to be recommended, except maybe the title track.
You guys made me smile to this! Listen to anything Cornel 77 to have your minds blown!!
Absolutely! Must watch!
The Bakersfield Sound and Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde album kicked the door open for Country into Rock. Gram Parsons, Byrds, The Dead, The Allman Brothers, CSNY ... it's a long, long list. Dylan created the electric Folk Rock sound you hear here. The Dead are excellent, studio and live.
Maybe my single favorite Dead cut. The guitars in "Rider" sound like sunshine glinting in a million directions as it passes through the pouring rain. The whole crazy locomotive of American music was roaring through the theater that night.
Deadheads know . Superb musicians and great lyrics in the songs . Their music is meant to be experienced.
It IS a jam session. They were committed to improvisation in all areas of band life, and it comes through in the music.
I'm so fucken blessed to have had the Dead ❤
Mickey Hart (one of the drummers)has said that the Grateful Dead were really in the transportation business, the music was how they moved people, like a taxi driver uses a cab. And we did call it Cosmic Country Music, Jerry came from a Bluegrass background.
Here’s a Steely Dan “Kid Charlemagne” connection with the Grateful Dead. Steely Dan wrote that song about Owsley Stanley who most famously was the chemist behind the best LSD that was being produced in the 60’s and early 70’s. He was also a live sound engineer for the Grateful Dead and recorded many live shows of theirs early on. He also poured a lot of his money into the Grateful Dead’s legendary live sound system and out of that would spring Meyer Sound which is now one of the most famous and respected live sound reenforcement companies in the world.
The transition between the trippy, dippy "China Cat Sunflower" to the CW/rock "I Know You Rider" is so-o-o smooth. Your heads were bopping on your shoulders. This was a live album from their Europe '72 Tour. You'll enjoy the vids of them playing live. Such a great band performing in the moment.
It’s all LSD they lived with Bears LSD money Jerry started playing the banjo in blue grass music. having two drummers was who could play together which was incredible.The band was so good it’s hard to explain what was happening but they were such great players,
Sounds like America. Awesome. Rock on.
Rolling stone called Jerry the master of the extended guitar solo...Im a dead head and got 37 shows under my belt to take to the grave. Love them. Every show was a mini woodstock. Camped in arena parking lots up and down the east coast. The best days..all my tour buddys are dead now. Crazy.
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began.
It is a badass tune!
Seen hundreds of shows... used to tape their live shows... and i still can't figure it out... heard that particular china/rider since the late 70s and i still never hear it the same way twice. The Grateful Dead aren't just music, they are magic. Thanks for sharing this ❤
They took every American genre of music (folk, country, western, blues, R&B/Motown, rock n roll, and even a little disco) and put ‘em in a blender. Then they performed it with the improvisational traditions of Jazz, Bluegrass, and Dixieland.
The end result is something completely new and unique, yet feels strangely familiar and comfortable.
People can argue about the “greatest” American band, but no band is more “quintessentially American” than the dead.
“They aren’t the best at what they do, they’re the ONLY ONES who do what they do”
Rolling Thunder. The transition here between these two songs is seamless.
I bob my head the same way when I hear this tune. (Which is frequent. This is one of their best. Endless great versions abound).
If you were ever at a concert as they transitioned from China Cat to Rider, you have never seen an audience on their feet and dancing together like that anywhere else in your life ... pure joy!!!
My man in the expos hat has officially entered the Phil Zone🌌
Oh, once more, soo fun to watch you listen and try to “figure it out.” Yeah, simplify it, fellas, just enjoy it … Yes, you ARE listening and catching so many of the influences … ❤
"We would get to the "end" of a song but the music kept going" ~ some member of the dead c. Early 70s
I know you rider is a famous blues song played by a ton of artists dating back to the 1920s, the dead use the vocals as a skeleton to build their jam on.
The first set of most shows approaches 2 hours, some shows have gotten up to 5 hours of acid soaked jamming and twirling. The music never stopped....
Yeah, they're a little country, blues, reggae, folk, disco, funk, jazz, played in a jamming style. It's just American music, and it's good. They have something everybody can like.
Put your finger on THIS!!! This is the kind of music that's made for you to trip to.
You guys are grateful. I laughed when you said this is dope China cat is not an easy song to sing yes I Rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌵🍄
Those subtle kick drum rolls during I Know U Rider make my hair stand on end, even when I know they're coming. Really adds to the "locomotive" feel of the whole song
You guys said it . They were a Jam Band . Definitely best heard live . Used to love trading tapes back in the day .
Dude. You summed it up better than I’ve ever heard anyone when you said “I can’t put my finger on it, but it sounds good!!”
"Can't put my finger on this one, but it sounds good!"...you guys come up with a gem of an observation every time, it perfectly describes the Dead.
Terrapin is a masterpiece and you really should listen to both the studio and live versions as thestudio has a orchestra too. Eyes of the world live with guest Brantford Marseilles on Sax/ clarinet is amazing
So glad to see these cats diggin what we all know is an American 🇺🇸 original.
The thing about this music, once you start digging what they do you can listen to a top-notch cut like this a hundred times and still notice some awesome detail for the first time
Like at about 9:27, the way Jerry comes in after "like the wild geese in the west." Just the phrasing. It's so frigging great, simple but complex. And it can only be early 70s Jerry. You could play it at the time, and almost anyone would know instantly - oh that's Jerry.
This was the first Dead album I’d ever heard. A friend played it for me on a really good system, and we were all appropriately high - when the seque came and the first clear notes of Know You Rider rang out, I knew I’d be a fan forever.
I do enjoy listening and watching others have a musical revelation.
This is zone out music ,go park in middle of open feild ,injoy stars and musical tripp
THey are kind of a hippie-jazz-country rock kind of thing. BUt definitely a jam band--they would hand out acid in their early shows in the 60s early 70s in the smaller venues and have psychedelic light shows that would show both on the screen behind them and on the audience, too--and the audience would hippie dance to the music--total free form in the light and music. They are a San Francisco based band and all about free expression.
Jerry Garcia was the one who gave Santana the mescaline at Woodstock. Watch Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock sometime. Jerry was such a peaceful guy snd just wanted everyone to get along and vibe. I only went to one show way back in 85' but from what I remember it was a blast! Des Moines to Alpine Valley was a blur. The next day and a half was a blur. The drive home was a blur. But the bits and pieces I do remember make me smile.
As they are saying, can’t put your finger on it. Yup, you just go with the trip. Flow, bounce, drive, fly, cruise, groove.
Its appropriate that you have problems categorizing the Dead's music. They started out as a blues based rock band, then turned into psychedelic acid rock. Then you hit the two folk/country records that went a long way toward establishing the Americana genre, 'Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty". A couple of years after that they turned to jazz.
They just kept on truckin', playing all sorts of stuff from rock 'n roll to extended jams to whatever came to mind that night. So much talent and texture and musical skill.
All timers, and a truly amazing band live.
There's a book called The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test; with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, which is about Ken Kesey who wrote the book; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, released in 1962 and later a major feature film in 1975. Ken Kesey took part as a volunteer in clinical studies regarding LSD during the late 1950's. An Acid Trip inspired Ken to write the book.
Ken was one of many individuals who were a part of the Beatnik Culture, also of the late 1950's that took part in these LSD studies who later influenced the Hippy/Free Speach/Civil Rights/Peace Movements of the 1960's.
Between 1962 and 1964, with the royalties of a best selling book, Ken continued on his own doing lots of LSD and collected a number of like minded people who called themselves The Merry Pranksters. Ken's second book was released in New York in 1964, so Ken and the Merry Pranksters traveled in a tricked out school bus from California to New York, on Acid accumulating about 40 hours of Film Footage.
When Ken and the Pranksters returned to California, they started renting Arenas and holding Electric Kool-aid Acid Tests with multiple film screens showing clips from their "Trips", massive light shows, pyrotechnics, and a band jamming and improvising with headphones on a 10 second delay. All controlled by Ken, up high in scaffolding. The band quite often was The Grateful Dead. This was between late 1964 to late 1966. This is the Origin of The Grateful Dead Jam Sessions, improvisational prowess and creativity.
I just call it Americana. Almost every kind of musical influence possible was channeled into an incredible catalogue. Even non fans have that one Dead song that resonates with them.
Pure as the driven snow Psychedelia… just floats along with the poetic lyrics and incredible harmonies.
You have a better chance of throwing a rope on the wind than "putting your finger" on the Dead,because it's everything,a road map to so many genres. Like legendary promoter Bill Graham said,"The Grateful Dead aren't the best at what they do,they're the ONLY ones who do what they do."
Jerry Garcia was an amazing banjo player as well. If you guys are ever up for some throwdown, his band Old & in the Way is Bluegrass heaven.
As Bill Graham said, They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones that do what they do!
so welcome to being a Dead Head. So awesome. I'm 67, saw them alot, like alot, best china cat was as nassau coliseum europe 72 tour. Last time eugene, 1977. So cool you guys get it. Yeah Phil Lesh enough said.
It's almost impossible to overstate how damn good this band's music is. Oh, and there is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert. Or WAS nothing like it, alas...
❤ you look like I must have looked like when I first heard this at 17 in 1972. Changed my love of live music forever. Be well young men 😎
Ive been so excited for you guys to finally get to this one!💛
The Grateful Dead is a very deep rabbit hole but well worth the trip. "The bus came by and I got on, that's where it all began. There was cowboy Neal at the wheel on a bus to never ever land." Get on the bus, guys. If you want to see a really great concert video try Halloween night at Radio City Music Hall, NYC.
Their type of music is Grateful Dead music...they are a genre unto themselves. When Jerry Garcia died a writer for Rolling Stone magazine summed them up perfectly when he wrote that in the world of rock music 'there is Grateful Dead music and then there is everything else.'
That's whats amazing about the boys. The music sucks you in then when think you have
it all figured you realize what great lyrical writer they(only non touring member of any band of in the hall of fame) have. Then you'll discover there songs are never the same over the years. Always changing and morphing over time. Then when finish that you'll find some other fine detail you never noticed before and so it continues on and on .That's why you become a life long fan and never seem grown tired of them.
You two make perfect bobble heads! And that’s a compliment!❤ You’re right there with the bounce!!
I had kind of a total shit day today, and this video reaction kind of makes things alright again. I’ve been so deep in the Dead scene since I was 14, and watching you guys hear these things for the first time, it’s like I can remember EXACTLY where I was sitting on my damn schoolbus and listening to this song for the first time on my Walkman, all mystified and needing to know more. LOVE IT! Nothing better than finding new music that HITS. ✌🏼☮️
Went to one concert with them and it was a crazy good time!
One of the best shows I ever attended was Grateful Dead and Allman Bros. Their jam at midnight was the JAM!
