I could literally spend the rest of my life sitting in front of a screen watching footage like this. Oh how I miss these guys. We love and miss you Jerry. This footage is absolutely spectacular, thank you.
@@Bridgelessalex Well I think that he has turned into a real Deadhead and he has pulled out some of those awesome country jazzy licks from like 74. There are some videos here on RUclips of him playing with Phil a few years ago and they are really really good. I like that young people are getting into the Dead today because at one time back around 1985 I was that young person.
You are correct, Jane. Three songs as timeless as the wind and the sky, all in one day. Robert Hunter was amazing, and I think his lyrics will be sung until there's no people left to sing them.
@@Tubbknuckles neil is cool as,first song i heard that hit my soul was heart of gold.But my friend chuck its not a competition,i bet ya mr young agrees.They where glorious in there own ways sum guitars have more strings,doesn't mean its better.Its all rock n roll brother.The grateful dead played better then some sobber bands.Haha and remember the drummer in def leppard has one arm,now thats sick.
That moment when a beaming young Bobby is being interviewed and CSNY break into a gorgeous “Woodstock” in the background… and no one seems to notice. What an era!!! 🔥🥰😍😍🥰🔥
I absolutely LOVE the SG era! It was the closest Garcia came to hard rock, imo. But then again, Jerry could make any guitar scream. I love the Strat sound he had in '72 as well.
Amazingly the middle of the dead’s set was when the Queen threw the switch to convert England from black and white to Colour, as we had been putting off the switchover for years due to budget cuts and lack of manpower. However, fans in the audience were astonished to see, just as China Cat started, the monochrome world around them flood with colour, this monentous occasion even being caught on camera too. Unfortunately the system wasn’t well thought out, and the colours were very washed out, to match England’s general sense of grey drab, and had to briefly be plunged back into B&W for a time in the mid-80s so a more faithful colour system could be hooked up. The more you know 💥
What a treasure! I love the airport footage, it's truly like being in the entourage, you can feel the energy of landing somewhere new with the whole experience just about to begin, all that comes with that particular situation. Great stuff.
García talking about Zappa, wow! This is some really cool footage I've never seen before and I've been following the dead off and on for nearly 40 years. Thanks for sharing.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the Dead ever shared a bill with Zappa, which is odd. The Garcia Band did one time, in the early 80s. But who knows if the hung out together... Jerry was deep into the hard drugs at that time and Zappa was always straight. Still, they had music in common so I wonder. Again, I could be wrong... I researched it a looong time ago and my only source was Deadbase.
Where is Garcia talking to Zappa? I missed that. Anyway, I'd wager anything that Frank didn't have high regard for the Dead or their music (witness "Teenage Wind" alone). Both great, in my opinion, but just polar opposites. Beefheart certainly hated the Dead ("Damn Garcia, what's he doing? He looks like Gabby Hayes!"), and I'd bet Zappa was no fan, either.
Great video! Loved seeing Robert Hunter included, as he usually avoided cameras. I believe this is the trip he wrote Ripple, Broke Down Palace, and Too Lay Me down in one afternoon! What a day that must have been!!!
Absolutely I'm probably wrong but I could swear that candyman was in that group or maybe not but I've read it was 4 songs I'm thinking candyman or mhbtr
This is around the time I started going to Grateful Dead shows as often as I could and then that was cut short by an abrupt move to Florida from NYC where the concert scene was nowhere what it was back in the good 'ole city especially Fillmore East. So my assessment: they all look like they just rolled out of bed and yet played some of the most amazing music ever on Planet Earth. Bobby must be talking about the imminent release of "Workingman's Dead" because it was released in early June 1970. It changed EVERYTHING for the Dead. Remember folks, these guys weren't making a fortune - they were doing what they were doing because they loved it.
Edward: did you go to any of the Capitol Theater shows in Port Chester? Specifically, the 1970 ones? I think the June 24, 1970 late show is quite possibly the greatest Dead set of all time. The energy is through the roof and the band is on fire from Jerry on back and left to right! Thank goodness for Ken and Judy Lee's brilliant recordings of this and other PC shows. 11/8/70 at Port Chester is another one of my absolute favorites. I didn't go to them, unfortunately, I wasn't yet born....so I have a good excuse. I saw the Dead many, many times from 1986 until the end, but if I could go back in time, it would be to June 24, 1970 at the Capitol. Just a ridiculous show.
@@johnr.8275 I saw the Dead at Fillmore East exclusively ( 5 times) until January (or February) 1971 when I wen to see them at Capital Theater in Port Chester. I was puzzled. It was a great show but where was Mickey Hart? It wasn't 'til years later that I got the whole thing straightened out about his father's absconding with funds and how he had (despite protestations from the other band members) decided to leave the band. I have become much more philosophical about life as I begin to approach 70. There will never (NEVER) be another Fillmore East but to say those were the greatest Dead concerts ever would be conceitful and self aggrandizing. I had a rough childhood but have had the most wonderful life ever to have seen bands like Grateful Dead, The Who and Led Zeppelin (3 time in 1969). The Dead were lucky, they had a coterie of wonderful "family" that saw to it that much of this music was immortalized. The Who as well - their essential stuff is there and they were a very "consistent" band so with the release of the entire show at Leeds (and now Hull as well) and the release of Vic Young Theater "Who's Next" material is essential and really all you need. I am disappointed that more Zep shows from 1969 are not available. They had a bone to pick. They had been told by John Entwistle and Keith Moon that if they did not live up to their name, that's exactly how they would go over. They had something to prove and they proved it. Probably much more information than you needed or asked for - but that sums up my life. Really.
Jerry was just the brightest yet down to earth dude in any room he ever found himself in. Just SPECTACULAR video. Wish we had, oh, another several hundred more minutes from THIS tour🤔. Thanks so much for posting this; I loved every nano/milli second!!!
That’s some of the greatest film footage I’ve every seen in my 59 years ., Pigpen looks to. be A bad ass , RiP , I’m sure he was a Solid Brother ,Amazing Filming of of the day 🌵🌵🌵
Jerry always said Pigpen looked like a "badass" but was one of the sweetest men alive. He hated getting dosed. He said: "I don't know how you play on that (some expletive)."
@@edwardgonczy3170 Edward, you beat me to it! People used to be freaked by Pig's appearance, but by most accounts he was a sweet, shy fellow. I remember reading somewhere some guy wrote that him and a friend went to try and get tickets somewhat last-minute to a show, and they were bummed out (but hardly surprised) when they discovered at the box office that the concert was sold out. Hanging their heads, they started walking back where they came from, and a voice called out to them, "Hey man, whatchoo doin?" They looked up to see a scruffy guy leaning out of a second floor window. They explained their predicament, and the guy said to hang on and he'd be right back. Sure enough, he came back and threw some freebie tickets down to them. It was Pigpen!
Ah, dear old Sam Cutler. When I was a postgraduate student in the mid-90s, I met him at a sedate afternoon get-together--he was there with his then wife and his baby son. I saw him again at a talk by a Buddhist monk that same evening. BUT THE WORST THING: I had no idea it was him until the day after when somebody told me, and I never saw him again. So there I was, Sam Cutler there to quiz on any topic I wanted, and I didn't know it was him. Darn it.
A few years ago I met him at a Darkstar Orchestra show when he was peddling his book he signed the copy for me he was quite the grizzled cynical old Brit
@@jamesmack3314 I had him agree to sign my book and try to hit it off probably at the same event. My problem was my vehicle blew up on me and couldn't get that far in time. I was really looking forward to hit and I was going to show bearing gifts. Time has since passed but I'd still love to spend an afternoon or evening chatting.
I always love how down to earth these guys were when being interviewed, so unlike rock stars. Plus what a great China Cat performance at the end. thanks for posting.
Far out man love the Dead ❤️ Would have loved to have lived in California in the 60s and been old enough to enjoy all the great music & happenings. RIP Mr Garcia 🙏🙏
Love the side view of Billy and Mickey, the way their arms snake around their kits as they work the engine room of the mighty Grateful Dead. At Dead shows I always used to make my way behind them when they would do their "Drums" (or Rhythm Devils, if you prefer that) segment of the show, and then go back to wherever I was sitting when Jerry and the rest of the boys would come out for Space and beyond. Watching those two was mesmerizing....I guess it's a drummer thing. I miss the Grateful Dead, every minute of every day.
I was 7 years old when this interview happened. 9 years and 3 months and about a week later. I was transformed by them for life at Madison Square Garden on September 4th 1979. I have the soundboard recording.
I remember some music producer saying in an interview: "Everyone in the industry knew that you never, EVER drank anything in the vicinity of the Grateful Dead!" Unless you wanted to trip balls for the next eight hours....
Goodness, this is a treasure. Hearing Jerry riff on the issues of the day is priceless. He was so smart, eloquent and thoughtful. Hearing him speak on Altamont, Woodstock and the Hells Angels kinda puts it all into a perspective that makes perfect sense. Every deadhead should watch this entire thing.
Great example of stage sound versus PA sound. Assuming the mic and camera were in the same spot, it is really evident during Good Lovin'. You can hear Billy and Jerry fairly well but Pigpens vocals were almost non existent from all the way across the stage and away from the monitors. Makes you appreciate how skilled the people running the board are. Excellent footage which I've never seen before. Thank You for posting!
"We do know that they are Hell's Angels... and they are capable of doing some pretty amazing things." Haha "hot tuna! that's sort of what the musicians of the Airplane are doing" Jerry throwing those one liners... fucking hilarious
@@willardmelvin7957 you'd be right about the starship band sucking but the first Jefferson starship album was pretty outrageous I'm not so sure you've heard it because if you ever did you wouldn't say that I mean it had Joni Mitchell David Crosby the list goes on and on and on as far as who played on that record do yourself a favor and give it a listen and I'd be willing to bet my house that you will not be amazed wait a minute how's that go
Wow thanks. Didn’t know this existed. This was my first big festival, Mungo Jerry played twice I think. Was more puzzled by Grateful Dead than anything else. At the time I was into Free, Black Sabbath and Family. Learned to love them after the fact. Never saw them again. Ah well.
Lucky You . I never saw them. The nearest was when the Dead put on a concert for Radio Luxembourg. in '72. The Dead performed a show in my home town Edinburgh in 1981 but I was on the 'old King Cole ' at the time and couldn't afford a ticket.
@@Pilrig1 yeah just wish I had paid more attention. None of my pals in Campbeltown were into them at the time. Hitch-hiked a couple of times up to Edinburgh to catch Taste and John Mayall. Usher Hall I think.
@@Pilrig1 should of crashed it it was quite easy in them days you could even talk your way in after it had started sometimes I remember friends hiding in venues to catch the second show 🤣🤣🤣 they were fun times
@@dlm9293 Sure does I can remember listening to dark star on my transistor radio around midnight I think in my parents little terraced house in north London
I'm pretty sure this was the Grateful Dead's first-ever gig in Europe- it was the Hollywood Festival at Hollywood Farm, in Madeley, near Newcastle-under-Lyme, North Staffordshire. I was there for one of the two (three?) days, but didn't see them. Other acts on the bill included Family, Free, Jose Feliciano, Mungo Jerry, Colisseum and the Radha Krishna Temple.
This is really cool footage. I find Jerry really well spoken and insightful. For whatever reason I had the impression he was a burn out but from listening to him that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
wonderful to see this footage i was there i think it was dead s first show in uk and it was a lovely sunny day perfecto ,wonder if there is any more footage grateful dead eternally alive
Awesome. I could have spent the weekend at the same hotel Dead stayed at but I chose cheapo tent .My buddies had Brent buying there drinks all night and ran into Jerry in the parking lot. He couldn't find his expletive car!! They ran into Bobby on bike trails and.hung out a bit ..I always had fun at shows one way or another.
Aula para os Europeus. Tiveram uma grande oportunidade de serem felizes, Grateful Dead no palco, Jerry Garcia & Cia, para poucos. Como gostaria de ter visto essa banda. Com a formação original.
They seem like such good dudes. It’s why we loved them so much. Just regular guys tossed into an extraordinary situation. You can hear Mickey in the airport “let’s get an ounce of the that skunk bud”
Really cool footage. Long Strange Trip documentary had some other footage of this same trip I believe but this seems like more from that same reel. This is great footage with sounds. Thanks for sharing
Great footage--I have never seen this! I could not help but observe some physical similarity between Jerry (at this age) and Trey A when playing the guitar. I don't know what it was (and usually avoid Phish/Dead comparisons)--just something in the way this young JG was moving here. Love the sustained onstage footage especially of the drummers! Billy K was soooooo fluid and natural during these early years!
it sad i cant find more footage of those concert (FULL SHOWS)of the England 70 tour....that is some great coverage...DAMB!! : PS...I know There Out There!!
Ridin' that plane....high on .....? Looks like they had a hell of allot of fun....our pathetic digital lives today are crap compared to the way things were in 1970....sorry to say folks.
It’s hard to believe that those guys could put out a masterpiece like “American Beauty” which was released about this time. They must had the guidance of God himself.
hunter sat back from most of the scene drama. the transformation from air.fire psychedelia to earthy workingman's/beauty is along with zep int he same years 68/9 (i &II) into 70/1 (III and ZoSo). the deads was more stark. i think it was everyone catching up with dylans basement tapes and the fire phase naturally moving on with a decade shift. I was to young to catch it at 4 lol, but the 79/80 shift was profound from fantasy into sci-i to MTV/new wave.
Where was this I saw them at the Lyceum after Pigpen had passed I think and Mickey wasn't on drums . Then again some years later at Alexandra palace. Was mad about the dead, airplane, quick silver great to stumble across furpeace ranch on this new fangled tube stuff ✌
Hey Garloo. Instant sub for you. Thanks! Hey is that Hunter, or maybe Owsley, in the pack there? I think it's Robert Hunter, but I could be wrong. You know the guy wearing glasses who is not Jerry Garcia? I'd appreciate a response brother man. Thanks again. (Somebody send me Mr. natural, I'm family. Trapped in eastern Europe.) Peace Jerry is God. LSD saves. Not Fade Away
I could literally spend the rest of my life sitting in front of a screen watching footage like this. Oh how I miss these guys. We love and miss you Jerry. This footage is absolutely spectacular, thank you.

I heard that, and I assume it's the record being played over the PA
People this Is the Gibson SG with a Vox Crybaby wah-wah pedal played on Live Dead . This is a huge find THANKS
That is my favorite era of Jerry’s rig. The tones are insane!
I absolutely LOVE the SG era! It was the closest Garcia came to hard rock, imo. But then again, Jerry could make any guitar scream. I love the Strat sound he had in '72 as well.
"Hot tuna, that's what the musicians in Airplain are doing" hilarious.
Still love the Jefferson Airplain too though.
Amazingly the middle of the dead’s set was when the Queen threw the switch to convert England from black and white to Colour, as we had been putting off the switchover for years due to budget cuts and lack of manpower. However, fans in the audience were astonished to see, just as China Cat started, the monochrome world around them flood with colour, this monentous occasion even being caught on camera too.

Must have been an incredible experience. China Cut brings technicolour enlightenment!
We've also seen China Cat/Rider go from color to B & W!
"Those were the days, my friend!"

That is so cool ! I was wondering why it was suddenly in color 🖤💜💙💚💛🧡❤️💝
Like in The Wizard of Oz!
Never saw any of these clips. Good stuff. Jerry, oh so young.

Like something out of a fantastic dream, hanging with peak Dead in an airport and backstage. Love this post, I thank ya kindly.

I was 4 days away from being 6yrs old - lol
It took me another 13yrs and a month to catch them for 1sttime @
Merriweather & City Island in June 83' 😁
I was at this festival. This footage actually sounds better than sitting in the audience. It was a great, event though the sound was not so good.
This was my first music festival, I was 16 years old :)
Me, too, I was 14, walked to it from Trentham via Newcastle-u-Lyme with my mate Tim 'Skull' Mulroy.
Amazing footage! This was when they dosed the camera crew, "care for a beer?" ;)
It would be disrespectful not to take a drink from the grateful dead.Come on what can go wrong,haha trust these guys
I remember some music producer saying in an interview: "Everyone in the industry knew that you never, EVER drank anything in the vicinity of the Grateful Dead!" Unless you wanted to trip balls for the next eight hours....
Wow incredible footage
Love that one of them brought a fishing pole.

“Hot Tuna- that’s kind of what the musicians in the Airplane are doing.” 😂😂
I was there. They didn’t impress me then. Later I liked them, partly because I met so many deadheads. Mungo Jerry were the hit of the festival

Damn this band is tight I'll tell you when I first saw the Dead and 71 they were amazing but this was a good show
"We do know that they are Hell's Angels... and they are capable of doing some pretty amazing things." Haha
"hot tuna! that's sort of what the musicians of the Airplane are doing"
Jerry throwing those one liners... fucking hilarious
hot tuna is the name of a band that people in jefferson airplane formed
@@gametrailerman360 the musicians of the Airplane cause Star ship sucks
@@willardmelvin7957 you'd be right about the starship band sucking but the first Jefferson starship album was pretty outrageous I'm not so sure you've heard it because if you ever did you wouldn't say that I mean it had Joni Mitchell David Crosby the list goes on and on and on as far as who played on that record do yourself a favor and give it a listen and I'd be willing to bet my house that you will not be amazed wait a minute how's that go
@@gametrailerman360 If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack.

Wow thanks. Didn’t know this existed. This was my first big festival, Mungo Jerry played twice I think. Was more puzzled by Grateful Dead than anything else. At the time I was into Free, Black Sabbath and Family. Learned to love them after the fact. Never saw them again. Ah well.
Lucky You . I never saw them. The nearest was when the Dead put on a concert for Radio Luxembourg. in '72. The Dead performed a show in my home town Edinburgh in 1981 but I was on the 'old King Cole ' at the time and couldn't afford a ticket.
@@Pilrig1 yeah just wish I had paid more attention. None of my pals in Campbeltown were into them at the time. Hitch-hiked a couple of times up to Edinburgh to catch Taste and John Mayall. Usher Hall I think.
@@Pilrig1 oh man, that Radio Luxembourg show kicks some serious ass!
@@Pilrig1 should of crashed it it was quite easy in them days you could even talk your way in after it had started sometimes I remember friends hiding in venues to catch the second show 🤣🤣🤣 they were fun times
@@dlm9293 Sure does I can remember listening to dark star on my transistor radio around midnight I think in my parents little terraced house in north London
I’ve never seen this! Incredible
Merci beaucoup for this.
Beautiful footage! Thank you 😀
It cuts off and I cry. Thank you so much for this!
I'm pretty sure this was the Grateful Dead's first-ever gig in Europe- it was the Hollywood Festival at Hollywood Farm, in Madeley, near Newcastle-under-Lyme, North Staffordshire. I was there for one of the two (three?) days, but didn't see them. Other acts on the bill included Family, Free, Jose Feliciano, Mungo Jerry, Colisseum and the Radha Krishna Temple.
What a treasure!!!! A thousand million thank yous! Jer and Phil at 14:20.... priceless!!!
This is really cool footage. I find Jerry really well spoken and insightful. For whatever reason I had the impression he was a burn out but from listening to him that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
wonderful to see this footage i was there i think it was dead s first show in uk and it was a lovely sunny day perfecto ,wonder if there is any more footage grateful dead eternally alive
Awesome. I could have spent the weekend at the same hotel Dead stayed at but I chose cheapo tent .My buddies had Brent buying there drinks all night and ran into Jerry in the parking lot. He couldn't find his expletive car!! They ran into Bobby on bike trails and.hung out a bit ..I always had fun at shows one way or another.
ouch haha oh well
I was bummed to see Good Lovin's drums cut, but then - voila! - COLOR for China/Rider jam.
11:34 P-Funk killin it in the background
great footage! Definitely the coolest guys in town have arrived!
Jerry went from adolescence to 40 yrs old overnight.
Aula para os Europeus. Tiveram uma grande oportunidade de serem felizes, Grateful Dead no palco, Jerry Garcia & Cia, para poucos. Como gostaria de ter visto essa banda. Com a formação original.
Incredible footage! Thank you for uploading this.
Mind officially and completely blown
In their prime.
Funkadelic "I Got a Thing" in the background while Bob is being interviewed. Pretty great
Amazing they can play that well on that much acid..
Oh, please. You youngsters think everyone was stoned on acid 24/7/365 in those days. Hilarious. It just wasn't so.
such fun footage. Thank you!!
Never ever have I’ve ever seen this before!! 😯
I like how he talks about the angels
he seemed a bit dismissive of the death imo.
@@davidryan7386 just different contextual thinking.
They seem like such good dudes. It’s why we loved them so much. Just regular guys tossed into an extraordinary situation.
You can hear Mickey in the airport “let’s get an ounce of the that skunk bud”
Really cool footage. Long Strange Trip documentary had some other footage of this same trip I believe but this seems like more from that same reel. This is great footage with sounds. Thanks for sharing
Anybody else see the use of black m milds even in 1970 by mickey hart and others filmed in the airport
Jer on the SG might be my second favorite of his guitar tone other than his Europe 72 Strat through Fender amps.
"There was a lot of diversion on board."
Miss them everyday.
I found this after watching Kenny Vaughn on Otis Gibbs channel
this is so amazing to see.
thank you for a real good time.
💀⚘⚡❤⚡⚘💀
Great footage--I have never seen this! I could not help but observe some physical similarity between Jerry (at this age) and Trey A when playing the guitar. I don't know what it was (and usually avoid Phish/Dead comparisons)--just something in the way this young JG was moving here. Love the sustained onstage footage especially of the drummers! Billy K was soooooo fluid and natural during these early years!
I was just thinking the same thing re: Trey, specifically in that side shot from his right
6:15 it’s crazy how much Jeff Tweedy sounds like Garcia and his playing and tone too. Took me over 25 years to notice. Now I can’t not hear it
I feel like there should be a lot of footage like this.
Wow great footage thanks for sharing!!
it sad i cant find more footage of those concert (FULL SHOWS)of the England 70 tour....that is some great coverage...DAMB!!
:
PS...I know There Out There!!
asking the dead to play for 45 minutes is like asking Cal Ripkin to play 1200 games in a row.
Damn, Jerry sounds like a sociology professor. Fucking genius.
Why would you insult Jerry like that?
@@jg6698 LOL. Good point.
What an amazing wormhole! I just wish the video continued with the transition from China Cat sunflower to I Know You Rider. 🕊️☮️🌈
Wow, just wow. Just about 4 more minutes into Rider, is all I ask!
I was there I think was that Glastonbury I was 18 great times
Ridin' that plane....high on .....? Looks like they had a hell of allot of fun....our pathetic digital lives today are crap compared to the way things were in 1970....sorry to say folks.
Thanks a lot for this! Amazing
Yep it sure is amazing
Join me on Josh Daniel channel?
Heheh. Marshalls as monitor stands Nice.
Thanks 😀 good stuff!!
It’s hard to believe that those guys could put out a masterpiece like “American Beauty” which was released about this time. They must had the guidance of God himself.
hunter sat back from most of the scene drama.
the transformation from air.fire psychedelia to earthy workingman's/beauty is along with zep int he same years 68/9 (i &II) into 70/1 (III and ZoSo). the deads was more stark.
i think it was everyone catching up with dylans basement tapes and the fire phase naturally moving on with a decade shift.
I was to young to catch it at 4 lol, but the 79/80 shift was profound from fantasy into sci-i to MTV/new wave.
Jerry Garcia is God
Ahem
Ummm, nope.
Where was this I saw them at the Lyceum after Pigpen had passed I think and Mickey wasn't on drums . Then again some years later at Alexandra palace. Was mad about the dead, airplane, quick silver great to stumble across furpeace ranch on this new fangled tube stuff ✌
Hollywood Festival, Newcastle-under- Lyme.
Hey Garloo. Instant sub for you. Thanks! Hey is that Hunter, or maybe Owsley, in the pack there? I think it's Robert Hunter, but I could be wrong. You know the guy wearing glasses who is not Jerry Garcia? I'd appreciate a response brother man. Thanks again.
(Somebody send me Mr. natural, I'm family. Trapped in eastern Europe.) Peace
Jerry is God. LSD saves.
