CORRECTION: 4:00 and 13:39 Jerry is interviewed by KENNY WARRELL not "Lance Burrell" (thanks again to BAMTV for sharing this mega-rare interview!) Also, please be advised: Journalistic lens aside, "Money Money" slaps.
Thank you for delving into the Grateful Dead history that gets glossed over by both official Dead histories and mainstream biographies. The Dead's true peak was the Seventies and it sucks that there's so little in the way of historical perspectives on this time period.
Sorry but their peak was after Jerry's coma and before Brent's dearh..watch any interview with Jerry and Bobby also were they reference those years as the tightest and best they had ever been and the bands popularity was off the charts at that time ..
68=79 were the peak years IMHO. 89 was pretty good. But most of the 80s that I saw them in and definitely the 90's were much weaker than the 70s shows and material.
This and 1973 are easily the best documentaries of the band that I have ever seen. It may not have the technical editing of a high budget production, but the knowledge and sensitivity of the subject is second to none. I really hope you keep doing these. I have been a fan of the Dead for, quite literally, all of my life (my first recorded words are on the blank space of a cassette that my dad was transferring his vinyl Workingman's and American Beauty too). These are the first sources where I have learned anything new in a long, long while. Great work.
@christopherjolicoeur9001 Just look at DC Cat's video history. It was released in the last couple of months or so. This video is really just a continuation of that one.
I grew up in Novato California in the 1970's. The Dead's business headquarters was in San Rafael back then. The Novato tape storage facility didn't exist then because we would have known about it. I saw Jerry in the grocery store once. Met Grace Slick and Jorma in a park. Played Softball with Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie & Steve Miller. Was at the closing of Winterland with the Dead and The Blues Brothers playing till dawn. Backstage at Led Zeppelin in '77 (my girlfriend's father played cards with Bill Graham). Dozens of other amazing shows, all before I hit the age of 19. Buying bootleg records at the Marin City hippie flea market, partying in the houseboat community in Sausalito, hanging out behind the record plant late at night listening to the muffled sounds of bands like Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, and Steely Dan recording inside. It wasn't like we were in the studio, but the proximity to our heroes made us giddy. And of course KSAN FM 95...the soundtrack of my youth!
@@tonyaharmon1383 Thanks Tonya. I was an unsupervised teenager with cool, wealthy parents living in Marin County in the 70’s. They knew if I didn’t come home at night I was crashed out in the back of my van. I’ll always be grateful for growing up pre-internet and pre-smart phone. Kids today can’t even imagine.
@@RiverRat_1977 I used to record those live concerts to cassette tapes when I was a kid. Now many of them are right here on YT in 2024. KSAN was the best!
Very cool video. Thank you for making it, and posting it. Very informing and fun to watch, and it answered many questions. Is it possible for you to repost your video about 1973. I looked on your lists, and it is not there. Sounds like it would be fun to watch. Thanks again for this video. 😊
The tie in with George McCraes “ Rock Your Baby “ is mind blowing and appropriate….I grew up in that era and it was all blended together….truly magical….we loved The Grateful Dead and we loved K.C. and The Sunshine Band and it was all groovy.
Awesome. This has the depth that Long Strange Road was sorely missing. Much appreciated. It would be interesting to see a part 2 in the same style on up to Touch of Grey's explosion and a part 3 on their eventual legacy.
This is absolutely fantastic. I thought that I was relatively knowledgeable about the Dead, but I learned a ton watching this documentary. Excellent job! Thank you.
This is a Great Documentary . I had not seen this in full , just clips Here on youtube . I sure hope this stays up on Here for many Years , Thank You :) QC
Great video, well done. My first Dead shows at 18 were the February '74 Winterland 3 night run and I was there for The Last One 5 night run too at the end of the year. Drove up with friends from SD for both. Saw quite a few Jerry Band shows at the Keystone Berkeley from '75. A few Kingfish shows too. Remember there was a Deadhead rumor that the Dead would play in GG Park on the Bicentennial in '76. Went down there with some friends stumbled upon a parade with a platoon of Synanon guys dressed in black and goose-stepping. Different days the 70's, not everyone made it through unscathed. Keith and Donna era was my era, the 80's I was going to SF punk shows repeating the Dead's mistakes with white powders and crystals. Saw Jerry and his daughter once on the street in San Rafael going into a vegetarian restaurant with two others just before the Dylan/Dead show in Oakland '86 or so. And I was at Jerry's memorial to honor the man. Phil RIP.
That was fucking great and wildly, entertaining and informative! The greatest scene was probably the last few minutes with Parish and I say thank you very much for your excellent work and good production values and God bless the goddamn Grateful Dead ❤🎉😊
I’ve read and watched just about everything available on this band over the last 35 years and this documentary is incredible. I’m sad that it had to end! It brought back so many show memories and memories of friends who are no longer here. I wish it had been about six or seven hours long! 😀 Thank you for posting this for us!
Just when I thought I’ve seen it all….this pops up! Wow! Fantastic to see such a Freaking rarity! Who ever did this video I say thank u very much! What A treat
I was born in 1974 at St Luke’s in SF. My parents lived in the Tenderloin and the California Hotel is the address on my birth certificate. It’s nice to know I was absorbing the energy of SF at that time as a fetus.
This is awesome, I've always been so curious about this period in the bands history. Also didn't know about the piracy issue they faced with wake of the flood
That video of Commander Cody doing Hot Rod Lincoln is the only live video that I have been able to find of them from that era. I saw them in 74 and they were really good. About 30 years later I saw Kodi several times and small bars around Chicago still banging on them keys, smoking like a chimney, and drinking like a fish money is around 70 years old.
I picked Hot Rod Lincoln for its recognizability but there are at least a few other songs from that shoot out there. I am hoping to find some recordings of full shows from 1974; I hear they were amazing in their own right!
Damn man I had to stop about 20 min in to say thank you. Got on the bus in ‘83, so ‘74 is still a dream… but damn you did a great job helping the imagination. Keep on truckin, would love to see some more moving into the ‘80s✌️🎶
Met dick Latvala here in Brattleboro Vermont he came to our vegetarian restaurant which also had performance space. It was 1997 and he was traveling with a band from jersey called Stir Fried. He was also selling the Dicks picks that were currently available. Dick dosed a bunch of us and we have never forgotten. Love ya Dick
I still meet people/Heads who dont know what the song "He's Gone" is REALLY about. Lenny, Mickeys father went MIA with all their money. They got back some of it, not much. But the band as in the video explains had hired Lenny to manage. BAD mistake. Made Mickey leave the band. I can understand Billy not being for Mickey returning. But ya had a lot of members of the Dead who hated conflict, thus some bad decision making was made on the business side as they chose to ignore the obvious. But to a degree im glad Mickey re joined. But there are DEF shows where... Billy and Mickey are not on with each other. For sure. But when they are on which is most of the time, its awesome. But go listen to some of those shows without Mickey after he had left the band. Billy was a BEAST !
Cheers man... you're one cool cat!!! Keep on Trucking!! And long dive the lead!!! btw.. got anything from Berkeley?? UC?? The Greek?? Zellerbach?? Community Theater?? People's Park?? New Year's Eve at the Oakland Coliseum with Father Time?? SNAC Sunday?? This was just like having a real live flashback of Owsley's best Orange Sunshine on a beautiful warm day in "The Panhandle!!"
In the book that Phil wrote about his time in the Grateful Dead he said that they were just about to play unbroken chain when you requested it and they decided not to do it because of that.
@@charlesandrews2360 The guy next to me was incredulous, he said yeah right you might as well ask for Saint Stephen. I believe they brought that one out on the next tour as well but I don't think I had anything to do with it.
Phils son who I think was about 10 years old at the time asked his dad if they would do it which prompted Phil to talk to the band and then of course they brought it out in 95.
In all the years I've been into the band, I've pronounced it wrong in my head and never caught anyone else saying it. Cutting the voiceover, I somehow knew I was wrong and took my best guess. Then I found the Vault footage and got confirmation from the man himself I got it 86% right! Thanks for watching
One of the highlights (for me) was the first riff Jerry would play , after walking on stage. Riffs like some poly phonic, nightmare scream from hell . L O L ...
Great journalism here, lots of wonderful sourcing and such. A couple mischaracterizations, the one about coke being introduced in 73, as another commenter pointed out it was way earlier, and the comment that the Godchaux era was a golden one would be disputed by many many deadheads who considered her vocals a substantial detriment to the dead experience. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a wonderful singer, and she worked well in JGB, but her singing was just overdone overwrought in the dead, and the music improved substantially when she and Keith were fired.
Fair points all; I hinge the escalation in coke use in early '73 on Jerry's bust(s) in that time suggesting cocaine was beginning to take a presence in the Dead world beyond occasional use. For better or worse, Donna of course famously went on to become its first casualty in the band. Not sure how many others follow before Matthew Kelly's gonads fell victim. Rick James had a good point.
Intresting production. Touched on a lot of areas. Funny th emajorcomplaint in the reviews ghost read was jam length of a song several times. Oh and the length of intermission. i guess asee bothof those as features not bugs. Something about short up beat songs into spacey jams into a ballad makes it so powerfull, finished by several options. The longset break is where I gottoknow many people who becamelong time freinds. 1 love
1974..."It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” ― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

So much is focused on the mud that the lotus is forgotten. If you were blessed to be there when the stars aligned…the alchemy was right and briefly the lotus surfaced from the muck you got to experience losing your virginity again, falling in love for the first time and being a five year old on Christmas morning all rolled into one fleeting time…You lucky rascal.🏄🍿🎭
QVC was like 100 feet from my high school my friend Jimmy was the maintenance man and he said he would look over this wall right in the changing room and look at the models and another friend Chris was the dishwasher Chris was a dead head and probably quit the job to go on tour They did have a lot of gold in the vAult
Im not gonna lie though, the , what i assume is Ned Lagin (sp?) electronic music in the left channel before the 50 minute mark is .... well... im just gonna say it's a real challenge to listen to, lol... i wondered if maybe on purpose? Oh well, but still, top notch better than what's on "TV" stuff
ADD on ADD crime. My aim was to show how closely the advent of disco dovetailed with the Dead specifically scoring a solid cocaine hookup in Hialeah, Florida. Due to my ADD, I find myself getting lost in the reeds all the time. For what its worth, at least I had the sense to cut a section where I explain the origins of the 12" single. Talk about losing the plot lol...thanks for enduring.
@@deadcoroner No worries. I'm gonna go back and finish the last 45. It is pretty interesting. I was digging on KC's early days. The 'Cain built Miami up for sure. I'm in Daytona. My buddy here used to reside in Miami in the late 70's. He's def got some great stories.

Is was a golden era, they just had one more vocalist than they needed unfortunately
@@przybyla420it was such a good era that many could easily overlook her off nights, myself included. Keith and Donna era is primo.

Wow! I had little to no knowledge of Leonard Hart's wrongdoings. Wyf? How did Mickey afford the studio? Very interesting... 🤔 Great documentary 🎉

Help. Was Steve really tripping on the QVC Set?
John Coltrane had Rashid Ali and Elvin Jones as double drummers around 1966. Apparently, Elvin Jones wasn’t happy with the set up.
This is awesome. If you are flexible enough, give yourself a pat on the back
this was great but the high pitched noises through out is pretty aggravating

Ok silly question but why are they melding a dead doc with a doc on Kc and the sunshine band.?This isn't good for my ADD!
ADD on ADD crime. My aim was to show how closely the advent of disco dovetailed with the Dead specifically scoring a solid cocaine hookup in Hialeah, Florida. Due to my ADD, I find myself getting lost in the reeds all the time. For what its worth, at least I had the sense to cut a section where I explain the origins of the 12" single.

@@deadcoroner I would be very interested in a video on the origins of the 12" single, or disco disc as it was sometimes called.
