Jerry Garcia and David Crosby DID do an album together along with Grace Slick and Paul Katner. It was Blows Against the Empire. If you like this jam session, you will love this album. It's Grateful Dead plus Crosby Stills & Nash with a little Jefferson Airplane on acid thrown in. Check out "Have you seen the stars tonght" "Hijack" and "Starship".
Blows Against the Empire - long before the Star Wars "empire" existed. A bunch of hippies hijacking an interplanetary spaceship - musically flowing like ocean waves - played that album to death, just saying the word "starship" was code for potential, community, drugs and adventure. Still to this day my favorite album.
This is so satisfying on so many levels. Like dropping acid at early show at the Fillmore and meeting some girls that have some good weed and tickets to the late show. Long live rock and roll. 🙏🏻
I just reloaded RUclips and spun the videos with my eyes closed. I said what ever it lands on is going to be the greatest thing ever… literally…. This is what I got.
@no yes Since when did appreciating a valuable service while also making a buck make one a fool? Almost the entire music industry exists on the exchange of money.
I lived in California during this time and loved the Grateful Dead and went to numerous concerts there. All the San Francisco bands were great. I saw Jerry play with Merl Saunders. It was a beautiful time.
Spring & summer of 74 i was in San Rafael & saw numerous Jerry/Merl in numerous spots including Great American Music Hall when one particular evening Steven Stills joined in 💜.
Cali rocks right now.. Well not now but normally! Tons of shows every night of the week in the Bay Area and even more down in LA.. So much good music, it takes over
Thanks for bringing up Saunders. I was also lucky, my guitar teacher in the early '60s was a Mr. Schmitt. His son was Timothy B Schmitt. Craig Chaquico (Starship - wrote Jane) was in my English class in High School. Reggie Knighton was in our band who played a few years with the Guess Who.
@Lastname First My favorite west coast S.F. band is Hot Tuna. I know that you love Jorma maybe as much as me. I tend to give most of your comments and replies a like, we tend to think a bit similar. I'm going to dig up some QSM and give a listen. Take care.
Has this been hidden somewhere! It is fantastic. The play of the three guitars with Phil’s steady groove makes for an incredible jam. I want to hear the rest of the session.
It was circulated amongst tapers as long as I can remember. We literally popped popcorn and had friends over to unwrap the fed ex when we got the DATs in college.
I think the bass players have their own corner with their own rules for which is playing when & when they are switching off how often I think the photo is expressing the musical architecture of these jams 3 guitarists mixing what they are doing as they play 2 bassists mixing what they are doing as they choose
Incredible. So good. I was 4 months old. Regularly say that my favorite music across most genres is from about 2-3 years before I was born to about 5-6 years after (so '67-'76). Think of all the incredible music that came out of that period! A very, very long list. Mind boggling.
True, but sometimes he can go way out there.... like an one hour "Dark Star" jam with a totally nonexistent beat or rhythm. However, he certainly does have his moments!
Saw Gary Burton @ Great American Music Hall in '76, with 2 bassists, 1 was Eberhard Weber, & a wild-haired young guitarist who'd begged to sit-in earlier in the tour & was hired on the spot, it was Pat Metheny, starting his brilliant career! Wow!
Thanks whoever decided to share this incredible music. It demands relaxed listening, in the same way it was created. Just musicians getting together to play whatever they felt at the moment. Incredible treasure !!
It was Graham Nash who leaked it to Paul Kantner in the late 90s. Graham did not fully realize Paul’s relationship with the taper community and now iyou have this recording. Because of this bootleg, there was not to be any record company interest in this product. The master tapes remain in david crosby’s vault to this day.
I love finding this collaboration stuff from that era. Just watched Carlos Santana and Jerry Garcia from 1989. Great, great stuff and thanks to whomever put this out there!
Close my eyes and transported back to the ‘70’s....thanks for sharing. Dead and Hot Tuna, early and late shows at the Fillmore East and saw CSN&Y record Love The One Your With, for their 4Way Street Album. Great times, incredible music!
Yes! Hot Tuna! I was in the studio when they where mixing the album Burgers. Even had a ride in the car on the cover of the album. Joey was driving and the sun was coming up in SF!
@dougpotosky4102 you gotta be kidding? You where in studio for Burgers? omg Ive seen jorma 3 times solo and electric hot tuna. You got a ride in the Burgers car. I guess you met the band and popa john too. How old are you? Are you an engineer or mixer?
Damn, now that's going back a ways. In 75' I was 18. Those were great times. We all thought this music would last forever. It always will in my head and heart. love and "light" to all....
@@kgilliagorilla2761 yeah when Columbian Gold first showed up on Long Island it was selling for $50 an ounce-people were complaining about the high price-that is until they smoked some!!
I left a reply somewhere in the 780 comments (I think) but I'm coming back around to this again.....RIP David Crosby🙏 You and Jerry are picking in the land beyond! Thanks be to @nognuisagoodgnu!!! This is incredible💥❤🤍💙😎
Now this is kindness indeed! Thanks Pastor Dave. Wish I could download this. For me this was the apex of our hippie music, this is its zenith. Peace. NFA.
Righteous. For a couple of days Hot Tuna was a supergroup. Who knew? Not saying they aren’t still, of course, but nothing says supergroup like double bass players. ...Thanks for sharing! ...Keep those lamps trimmed and burning, Yippee!
Incredible talent Jack and Phil the best bass players I've ever seen or heard and for jorma best acoustic sound I ever heard and for jerry he was a god
2 of my favourite albums ever! such a collection of artists the world will never see again!! What times they must've been for all involved wonderful absolutely wonderful music!!!! Ems
Wow Crosby “Remember My Name” sessions. I grabbed my album to see the pictures of all the participants. For those of us that found transcendence in music, liner notes & album covers - I used to sit for hrs. with this one. (Can’t imagine I was the only one) This adds to the joy. Thanks. “I want to drive right over, this afternoon and give them a piece of my mind about peaceful mankind.”
Let's not forget BARON VON TOLLBOOTH AND THE CHROME NUN. A truly psychedelic masterpiece from a mix of all these San Francisco musicians. same as IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME , BLOWS AGAINST THE EMPIRE and SUNFIGHTER
"If I Could Only Remember My Name..." The Best Album that Nobody Bought. Every song was great, you got your monies worth, I still have my copy. And the song book.
Blows Against the Empire (and White Bird, by It's a Beautiful Day) was the soundtrack to my first acid trip in 1971. It was perfect. I remember it like yesterday.
The early Dead . Janis . Carlos jamming with Bloomfield . Jimi playing in the Panhandle near Haight street . Crosby singing 8 miles high with the Byrds . The incredible Jorma . Cippolina . Barry Melton . Jazz legends jamming at the Fillmore .
Stumbled on this whilst just going down the daily rabbit hole of youtube.....Man alive! Love all the music that these individuals have ever produced with their beautiful band mates.... This has just been in my cans through bath time...exquisite! The Alexis Korner and Stephen Stills sessions are worth a listen too!!
I always wondered how Crosby got so many killer musicians to play on If I Could Only Remember My Name. I remember I had to return the first copy of that album I bought from the music store because it was warped and wouldn't play right. The guy at the counter looked at the album, opened it up (it was one of those single albums that used a double album cover for the album design) and said "Holy shit" as he pondered the photos of all the people who played on it. It really was a who's who of California musicians at the time.
he's happy and alive now so it's just how you look at it. He probably wouldn't have had it any other way knowing what I know about him (or think i know)
For B Kocewar: is not important that you were not Born, the real important thing is if this music reaches your soul is all that has a great value for you...i only was fourteen years old.
Agree Marco. It doesn’t matter if you were there to witness. The list of old work that never gets old is long, Beethoven, John Coltrane, Johnny Cash to name a few. I grew up in the Bay Area and started seeing the Dead and Hot Tuna the following year after this was made, but I never heard tons of what was played until fairly recently, including this.
@Etienne Jour You have an incredible ear! I can hear Jerry most easily, Crosby definitely, Young think so. Kaukonen my favorite, I'm not even sure he played in this jam. Bass was all Lesh, no Casady at all ( if no Casady, very likely no Kaukonen)! I believe Kaukonen is the best guitarist with Jerry a clear second! They're all very good. Absolutely love Kaukonen and he kept getting better and better as time passed!
Ummmm Phil lesh(leash) played base with the Dead... and Garcia... for about 20 or so years 🤔... I have seen him play at the La Paloma in Encinitas, Ca.... by himself... but I don't think he played with anyone else... but... I am not a Dead groupie... so I don't fuggin know
I have seen Jerry band warfield theater and I have seen Phil lesh and friends korma and Jack Cassidy hot tuna. korma at his fur peace ranch has work shops to stay for a couple weeks or more and he is the host teaching his style of playing guitar that is his own week end shows at the ranch his own organic coffee and south of Columbus just outside ATHENS OHIO SMALLEST PARTYING UNIVERSITY IN THE COUNTRY JUST ACROSS THE HOKEN RIVER PARKERSBURG WV ITS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH OF A TOWN SKATE UTOPIA SKATE COMMUNE HOT TUNA BEEN TOURING WITH FURTHER SHOWS FESTIVAL,S THEY ARE LIVING UP TO THERE NAME THE SOUND AT THESE SESSIONS ARE LOOSE AND FREE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE DAVID CROSBY UNFORTUNATELY. I LOVE THE FREE FORM NOTHING EXCEPT GOOD HOT ENERGY WOULD GIVE MY FINGER TO BE ABLE TO PLAY LIKE THIS YOUR .THIS IS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT.
Wow! My 1st concert @ 13, just moved from the actual end of the paved road, N.Central Wa.state, June 1968: Fillmore West- Santana opened, Chicago Transit Authority, middle bill, a year b4 either had an album; headliner - Big Brother & The Holding Co, with Janis Joplin! As a percussionist & jazz fan, I was in heaven: Santana had 3 percussionists, Chicago had horns! Big Brother played most of 1st song instrumental, then Janis walked up behind guitarist Peter Albin with an extension cord & plugged in a halo of tiny clear lights in his big hair, 'bing!', & the crowd roared, though she hadn't sung a note yet! I'm thinkin, these peeps are weird! Then, they left no prisoners! Can still play all that sound in my head! & was this thick, sweet smell I couldn't identify..musta been No-Cal homegrown, cuz it don't smell pretty like that now!
@@markgucciardi5724 fuc that they have 3 original member plus Chimenti . Mayer is trying ,does o k in spots , but what do u expect , he never did time on the bus . they are not pretty much a cover band or at leasT the best one your going to see breathing today . Bring back Jerry Garcia .! ! Oh Ya Killer Post , Poster ,Man .
@@jayoleary4538 Give it a rest, analog-crusader. The quality is good because they recorded it in a STUDIO, man. Wally Heider's, no less. Ground zero for SF sound musicians.
Neil Young was also part of PERRO or at least the sessions, I believe D. Crosby's classic If I Could Only Remember My Name came from these same sessions. Significant stuff...Thanks !
I loved Neil young since "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" I guess in 1968. I didn't like his lead guitar on "Cowboy Movie". Jerry was more restrained and tasteful.
'tis a Cold Wind that..."Blows Against the Empire"..the 1st Starship album had most of these guys guesting...great concept album : let's steal the 1st Starship and populate the cosmos with flower children and hippies! yeah! let's do it!!!

BAtE is a great album. Exhilarating and timeless.
The only thing i can realize is that when i see fractions of Sanremo festival i feel really bad and must gong down the road takin a little of air...

@no yes Since when did appreciating a valuable service while also making a buck make one a fool? Almost the entire music industry exists on the exchange of money.
When the first music began to play I knew I hadn't heard this before, but somehow knew it all my life. It sings in my bones. Thanks!
We’ll said!
What I was thinking but didn’t know it. 🤙🤙
Jorma & Phil are still performing 🎉 Happy belated birthday to Jorma ❤
....and Jack, don't forget Jack.

I loved this time period for all of these artists.
Yes, so much good music from 1970-1972
It was special. Things blended and progressed constantly.
And we lucked out, some American R & R "Geniuses" got together & jammed.
AND IT WAS RECORDED
@@vincewhirlwind574'68-'79!
The Dead, the Airplane and CSNY. Wish there was video. Loving this. Want to go home and party.

Classic West Coast 70's sound of my youth. Quicksilver Messenger was a big part of that also, along with others.
QMS my favorite of san francisco sound

I want to go back to 71. Knowing what I know now. Epic time for music.
Jerry Garcia was such a good guitarist he really shines through on these recordings.
Jerry is constantly playing here! Others not so much, sounds like the G.D.
Shut the front door. This is truly the stuff of my dreams. Thank you for this🙏

So glad you made it! We are all blessed with technology that lets us share this sort of thing down the corridors of time.
Started with Right Off Miles then rolled into this I'm eight miles high.
Blows Against the Empire. Sunfighter. Chrome Nun. David and the Dorks. Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra. All special records for us insiders.
What a fantastic joyful handful of music. Sorry to say, it’s very rare to find nowadays.
Has this been hidden somewhere! It is fantastic. The play of the three guitars with Phil’s steady groove makes for an incredible jam. I want to hear the rest of the session.
Decent quality too.
It was circulated amongst tapers as long as I can remember. We literally popped popcorn and had friends over to unwrap the fed ex when we got the DATs in college.
Jack Cassidy on bass also.
Totally agree... what a jam. However, I'm sure it's Jack playing bass, not Phil.
I think the bass players have their own corner with their own rules for
which is playing when & when they are switching off how often
I think the photo is expressing the musical architecture of these jams
3 guitarists mixing what they are doing as they play
2 bassists mixing what they are doing as they choose
Nothing short of amazing. That San Francisco sound. Jam, jam, jam, jam...to eternity. 🥀💀🥀💀
Jerry taking it to another level starting around 12:00. Gotta love that classic SG
What a Gem. Going to sit back in my easy chair lite one up and listen to this.
Incredible. So good. I was 4 months old. Regularly say that my favorite music across most genres is from about 2-3 years before I was born to about 5-6 years after (so '67-'76). Think of all the incredible music that came out of that period! A very, very long list. Mind boggling.
back in the "world" from Viet Nam the year before (69) this music was key to rejoining the human race
That was the year I went over. Music was indeed the glue that held us together, but at the same time separated us culturally.
What'd you do in the Nam? Army, USMC?
Ya got that right, I was there too
Hug a Vet
Welcome home brother.
It's my 60th birthday and this is my cry!! I freaking love this SO much!!
sound is very very nice. warm, spacey, open... raw!
Very cool. Such a special time in music history and
A unique group of musicians.
Garcia, as usual, embarks upon journeys only he can conceive. Thank you.
Jerry & BB King have that one lil riff Maybe some others have it in common too right in the middle of this I'm hearing it.
True, but sometimes he can go way out there.... like an one hour "Dark Star" jam with a totally nonexistent beat or rhythm. However, he certainly does have his moments!
When I stumbled upon this I thought I had who won the election, this group is second to none in musical exploration
Nice low key jam. Allstar group with some real rock legends. Love the double bass with Phil and Jack. Very cool sound!

I have seen Jerry band warfield theater and I have seen Phil lesh and friends korma and Jack Cassidy hot tuna. korma at his fur peace ranch has work shops to stay for a couple weeks or more and he is the host teaching his style of playing guitar that is his own week end shows at the ranch his own organic coffee and south of Columbus just outside ATHENS OHIO SMALLEST PARTYING UNIVERSITY IN THE COUNTRY JUST ACROSS THE HOKEN RIVER PARKERSBURG WV ITS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH OF A TOWN SKATE UTOPIA SKATE COMMUNE HOT TUNA BEEN TOURING WITH FURTHER SHOWS FESTIVAL,S THEY ARE LIVING UP TO THERE NAME THE SOUND AT THESE SESSIONS ARE LOOSE AND FREE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE DAVID CROSBY UNFORTUNATELY. I LOVE THE FREE FORM NOTHING EXCEPT GOOD HOT ENERGY WOULD GIVE MY FINGER TO BE ABLE TO PLAY LIKE THIS YOUR .THIS IS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT.
@@jimimorgan4631saw Hot Tuna (& few others) @ Pepperland, San Rafael, 1st live Quadraphonic sound, about 1970.
...also Captain Beefheart, Leon Russell..
What a gem to find, all my favorites together! ✌️
I wish I could be a little kid again and check these dudes out.
My late beloved wife and I saw and loved Garcia and the boys before we ever had a chance to smoke dope . That was in 1967 in San Francisco ...
❤
Wow! My 1st concert @ 13, just moved from the actual end of the paved road, N.Central Wa.state, June 1968: Fillmore West- Santana opened, Chicago Transit Authority, middle bill, a year b4 either had an album;
headliner - Big Brother & The Holding Co, with Janis Joplin!
As a percussionist & jazz fan, I was in heaven: Santana had 3 percussionists, Chicago had horns!
Big Brother played most of 1st song instrumental, then Janis walked up behind guitarist Peter Albin with an extension cord & plugged in a halo of tiny clear lights in his big hair, 'bing!', & the crowd roared, though she hadn't sung a note yet!
I'm thinkin, these peeps are weird! Then, they left no prisoners!
Can still play all that sound in my head!
& was this thick, sweet smell I couldn't identify..musta been No-Cal homegrown, cuz it don't smell pretty like that now!
Cool!
What a find!! Helped put a happiness factor in my heart ❤️
YAY!!
💝😎🙏🏻
Fabulous Jam Session - Needed Something like this 2020 relief!
This all brings my head right back there and I feel good..
Mind blowing Jam!! Man, those were the days!
Man I loved that David Crosby if I can only remember my name never heard this it sound so crystal clear Thanks left dead and company to listen
Me too. Not sure how this session popped up into RUclips :)
Joe Tye! Dead and Company is pretty much a cover band......John Mayer...Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@markgucciardi5724 fuc that they have 3 original member plus Chimenti . Mayer is trying ,does o k in spots , but what do u expect , he never did time on the bus . they are not pretty much a cover band or at leasT the best one your going to see breathing today . Bring back Jerry Garcia .! ! Oh Ya Killer Post , Poster ,Man .
Great quality sound!
Amazing jam by some of the greats
This singlehandedly cured 2020
Considering how long ago it was recorded, the quality is quite good. Fantastic jams.
The quality is good precisely because (not although) it was recorded nearly 50 years ago, in analog sound. Newer isn't always better...
@@jayoleary4538 Give it a rest, analog-crusader. The quality is good because they recorded it in a STUDIO, man. Wally Heider's, no less. Ground zero for SF sound musicians.
@@greenlightwilly ...and LIVE _ REAL_TIME
@@greenlightwillyI got to record my congas on a guitarist's original demo @ Wally Heider. Sound quality was awesome!
@@sbarncar ...yes, and? 'Live, real-time' meaning what exactly? Regardless, what does this have to do with analogue vs digital?
I feel totally transported! I am now on "A" deck watching the stars.
"m"y point exactly
Exploring musical space and time. Musicnauts.
Neil Young was also part of PERRO or at least the sessions, I believe D. Crosby's classic If I Could Only Remember My Name came from these same sessions. Significant stuff...Thanks !
You are correct. That's Neil on the right in the thumbnail.
I loved Neil young since "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" I guess in 1968. I didn't like his lead guitar on "Cowboy Movie". Jerry was more restrained and tasteful.
..& it was a GOOD lid!
This is magical. Never knew about this, thank you.
Me neither and I thought I was a tape trader back in the 80s
@@checkpointchecky9665 Same here, but 70s! This great jam made me feel like the Ice Cream Kid! Many thanks 🤗
How have I never heard of this before...so glad I found it...thanks for posting!
These sessions were mainly an effort by Crosby's friends to reach out to him after the tragic death of his girlfriend.
@Coon hound Still playing at least
fishercat yesss very true
Coon hound Bullshit. The guy is happy according to himself.
Christine Hinton was a beauty
Wonderful!
This IS a gem!!!
Thank you Thank You Thank You!!
Just wonderful jams
I could listen to this kinda stuff for hours. Great jams. . I had a little bit of these sessions as filler on a cassette a few decades ago
Man I used to love that David Crosby album if I can only remember my name it’s around same time but I never heard this ❤️ it
very good......................................................................................................
'tis a Cold Wind that..."Blows Against the Empire"..the 1st Starship album had most of these guys guesting...great concept album : let's steal the 1st Starship and populate the cosmos with flower children and hippies! yeah! let's do it!!!
I am sending a cat to the moon in 2021.... with myself and Dr Punkin Pie Carew... and back again.... it's the first step in real starships ==>> StarFire is going to the Stars 🌟
Think geodesic dome type sphere... that flies through atmosphere and can make it through the van Allen belts to LEO... after which the escape velocity increases to about 40 thousand meters per hour ... did the math... man I knew this number was important... 666 meters a minute... or 11.11111... meters per second... it's gonna take a long fuggin time to get to the next star.... so I am looking for a shortcut;;☆》... it's about bending space-time... not necessarily going fast
I had that album and the insert booklet that came with it.
@Khaver Paver I remember Orange Sunshine!
Where do we go from here? Chaos or community?
"populate the cosmos with flower children and hippies! " Color me in!!
This is pure congealed SF Psychedelia, I have not heard many better sounds
Thank you for this man, been dying for these missing parts of perro
