My attitude towards the Dead is,m I really like some of their songs,, but I don't know if I could have gone to one of their concerts. I'm not too fond of songs which go on for a real long time
Happy 4th of July! Love this song and the studio version still stands as the best recorded version I've heard. My dear departed sister Laura Farrow, a Dead Head most of her adult life, was born on the 4th of July and I play this song every year on this date in her dear memory!
2015 July 4th got to dance to this played live in Chicago. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Hoping the band will tour as soon as it is safe. Dare we all hope by summer?
When I first heard this, I was taken by it, and when I heard them sing "blue suede shoes," I thought this was Carl Perkins' original song of that name, until I heard the real one performed by John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band on their "Live Peace in Toronto 1969" album. But I never knew until now that this one was by the Grateful Dead! Thanks for solving a 46-year-old mystery!
@@davidbowman4259 yes the trump virus and all this chaos he willfully creates gotta end. Another song very appropriate for these trying times, "throwing stones". The dead were wise beyond their years. I miss them.
This, Sugar Mag, Truckin’, Scarlett Begonias and any LIVE version of Fire In The Mountain are usually the tunes which draw people into The Dead. Then you go to your first show…….
Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do? Gimme 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 hidin' 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 ol' 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.
Yeah what a wild line. Almost makes you think that all the San Fran & laurel canyon psychedelic groups were a MK ultra CIA operation on the masses. Lol Nothing is better than the dead tho. Either way... what a long strange trip it’s been
Give me five, I'm still alive!! It ain't no luck I learned to duck, bob, and weave. Learned the right cross, and threw those senators out! Wave that flag for our country both yours and mine. Jerry RIP. NFA
Happy 80th birthday Jerry. We miss you 😘
I found this by accident by searching ‘us lies’. It was better than the Iraq war documentary I was looking for.
That "documentary ", isn't entirely truthful
Well done
.....nevervstop..
Sweet.
Yep, this song pretty much covers it. 😎👌
Tell me, where the fuck do you want to live? You are free to go
Just love the way Jerry played guitar.
jimmy page Keep listening. Pretty soon you'll wake up in the middle of the night singling the lyrics. Not a bad way to end up..
hotajax I loved Jerry, wish he were still here
+jimmy page still brokenhearted here, too. At least we have recordings and videos...not the same, I know.
deadhead for life!

jimmy page Better stay away from Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" and "Passion Play" then.
+jimmy page it's called a jam, maaaaaan
Too bad you missed it, jimmy page, I guarantee you would have LOVED seeing them live!
in the next lifetime
Love the studio version so much ❤
A southern son here. Treat our fellow man with love . We all need it.
More than ANY other band The Grateful Dead mirrors my life and what happens during it as it unfolds. I've just learned to accept it.
Happy 4th of July! Love this song and the studio version still stands as the best recorded version I've heard. My dear departed sister Laura Farrow, a Dead Head most of her adult life, was born on the 4th of July and I play this song every year on this date in her dear memory!
Edward Hammond So sorry to hear about your sister… I also was born on the Fourth of July great day to have a birthday..wave that flag
Technically it's "fourth day of July" my friend...
Happy 4th

On Flag Day, I wear my Grateful Dead shirt, why because who is more American than them?
Back2back chicken shack!

If you are in bad mood, this song definately brings you up high
We all need some more Grateful Dead in 2020!! Stay Blessed out there everyone! ✌😎
I got the US blues!
Especially in the age of the Trumpvirus.

Right on man..we all got them US blues! But we’ll keep on truckin!

what a long strange trip its been
Anyone else been led here during this COVID PLandemic?🤔 We are never really free and never have been! God Bless all during these crazy times🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸
My favorite Grateful Dead song, feel good about the good old USA ! Love America and the freedom to listen to the dead .
Freedom to listen to Americanist anthems, but no freedom of speech anymore.
tongue in cheek sincerity... much better than sarcasm. What a country
While I'm not a huge aficionado of The Dead,I happen to like this song.
Scott Burton same man ✌🏼
I’m a huge Grateful Dead aficionado and I can say with absolute certainty that you are correct sir
This, Sugar Mag, Truckin’, Scarlett Begonias and any LIVE version of Fire In The Mountain are usually the tunes which draw people into The Dead. Then you go to your first show…….
Man could this band could SWING when they wanted...10/10....pure joy in a song
Pure. Joy. Much Love to you and yours
Could I love this more? Heaven help and save the USA, please!
Never gets old.
Man, how much worse is it compared to what you expected 3 years ago?
Now more than ever
You said it. TT
Fantastic lyric writing..!
This was the Deads version of come together. Lyrics were immortal. Lets talk.
Wonderful song! HAPPY 4th of July!!!!
Talk about rockin'!!
Were gonna need it after today
SWEET!
"Shake the hand, that shook the hand..."💗😅Yeahhh been awhile so nice 2B back with my kind.
How else was there in July 4 th 2015 dancing to this live? Oh man every one was dancing and happy.
American Beauty.

No commies!

❤ this song!!
Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.

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 hidin' 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 ol' 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.

you can anything you want jerry Garcia is one of the greatest singer song writers of all time
