I think this was half-joking. Looking back at a lot of classic songs from the dead’s live catalogue, many tracks we know and love were covered from 1930 jug bands. Sometimes word for word, sometimes bits and pieces. Gotta love that depression era storytelling
This is funny. Bob is sitting there projecting this total 70's style, and then the interviewer starts asking him about being a "60's" band, and Weir get's all pissed off, and then Jerry's like "Take it easy, man!"
Im not judging or claiming to know it as fact, but I bet Bobby was gakked out his mind. Jerry for the most part was pretty good at handling his demons. Im saying as far as being able to keep it together.
...all the comments,,"they were all coked up",, "they weren't a band,but individuals"..blah,,blah,, what this band was to you,will never be what it was to me.All ages,all ethnicities, all walks of life were welcome at the shows.Through my personal dead experiences, 350 of them , I found and learned many things, but the common denominator was acceptance. A kid who was picked on in school,for instance, with few friends maybe, would be accepted for, well just being there at a show, or in the pre-show party in the parking lot. You didn't have to be anyone else but yourself, as long as you were peaceful. I saw some of the best shows ever played,,,and a few of the worst!! , but that was cool.Thank you Grateful Dead for being you,letting me be me, and for making this life I live,much sweeter......
Jack Straw2... Case in point.. I NEVER, EVER saw a fight at a Dead show. Even with all the psychedelics and other drugs floating around, I never saw a fight. It was all about the music, it was all about the experience of a live Dead show, the story the band told and the way Jerry weaved in and out of the fabric of a song... and the acceptance of who you were before and after in the parking lot scene.
Jay Troxel maybe that’s true of east coast shows, but here in calif I’ve seen plenty of fights at dead shows...SF and Oakland. HA’s always in attendance and knuckleheads with no boundaries!!!
The interviewer genuinely found Jerry's 30's joke sincerely funny. That wasn't a forced laugh, he was excited as hell. Man everybody loved Jerry, even non fans. He absolutely won everybody over. If y'all get a chance to watch his early MTV interview you'll see the same thing. The female interviewer was completely smitten with him lol.💯
Each time they show a vintage photo here of Jerry I want to call out "daddy."! He looks just like my old man Dad. ! Thanks mom and dad for all your music played and free bird style of upbrining! xoxo

Sick interview!!! Bobby really impressed me!!! Jerry is the coolest and most interesting person ever born. His ability to play a guitar cannot be expressed into words...
I liked this interview and The interviewer, he was very gracious. At The end he says, its important to notę they would not have lasted this Long if they were not very fine musicians. Classy!
"...associated with the 'hippie drug movement' in the '60s"....BWA-HA-HA. I love it....these regional TV news bits are the best. And Bob's right: they're not a 60s, 70s, 80s, or any decade band. They are forever.
The live clips they keep showing have Donna and Keith Godchaux in it but they were out of the band by November 79 and Brent was in. My favorite era of the band was the Keith and Donna years.
I personally think some of the shit on anthem is as heavy as anything ever written. just because there isn't heavy guitar distortion and power chords doesn't mean it isn't hard.
60s primal dead was pretty heavy. i have to say, when i got into the dead, listening to mostly extreme metal at the time, it was live/dead that really spoke to me and made me want to seek out more. that dark star and then 12/31/76 eyes of the world
There never was, nor with there ever be again, anything as hot and rocking as the Dead. Luckily I was a young adult in the 80s and was able to see the band 30 times in the period between 80s-95.
The narrator for this piece used to get up at the crack of dawn every morning and have his vocal cords and speech accent starched and pressed. It was a $500.00 per week expense.
This is the appeal of the Dead: they are a psychedelic trip. These guys get a song going, it moves into a jam, the jam eventually gets lost in the musicians doodling on their instruments, then all of a sudden somebody in the band wakes up and pulls the other guys back into the song and at the same time a new rush of LSD courses through the veins of their audience and everyone feels renewed. The Dead finishes the song leaving everybody in a state of lycergic bliss. They do this over and over throughout a 2-3 hour concert and everyone loves it. Tie-dyed shirt and frisbee sales along with boolegs of prior concerts shoot through the roof. It's more than music. It's a psychedelic trip, man!
I hate it when people seek to explain the Dead to the outside world without mentioning the word "improvization" or "jam" or set lists or "segues" or many of the other factors that make them different from all other bands. I was a growing boy in the late '70's, learing to like various music. I was vaguely aware of the GD but didn't "get" what it was all about. And every year or 2 when the Dead came to town there would be stories on radio and TV about this band and their cult following, but I couldn't get why they were any different than other "classic rock" band - except they had fewer hits, and weirder fans. I remember once there was a local affiliate that did a segment on the Dead when they were playing nearby in the mid '80's and the news guy mentioned that the Dead had over 100 songs, changed their set list every night, and never repeated a song. That was a shock to me and my image of how music and live concerts worked. It was still many years before I "got it", but I remember being greatly impressed by that factoid. I remember wondering if any of the new wave bands or the other older bands, or even the supposedly virtuoso prog-rock bands could pull off such a feat. Would elite jazz musicians even attempt something like that?
Elite jazz bands would do that, or sometimes the opposite. Thelonius Monk made his band play the same tune over and over, for 3 sets a night, 6 nights, at a stand at a jazz club. Finally, on the last set of the last night, he let them play a different tune because he felt like they finally got it. I'm sure the audience was a little wore out over that one tune. Jazz musicians do what they've got to do.
don';t worry, my first show was in 88 and i was only 7, then seen them every summer until the end. it was not until 92 that i really got into them, i think it was because that's when i started to really get into music and also started the process into manhood
I think the above date may be wrong. By 11/79, Brent had been in the band for 6-8 months, and this footage features Keith and Donna--and also in the live footage, Jerry still has a touch of the laryngitis that he had all through the end of 1978. He can't hit his normal harmony...
dkroll92 ??? I can't say I agree with that. That was 1971. Several years after Hendrix lit his guitar on fire, the Who smashing their instruments. Their live show was pretty intense for it's day. Hard rock was already starting to take shape. Blue Cheer, The MC 5, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd was doing some louder stuff at the time. The Dead has always been kind of the odd man out in that regard. They were always a rock and roll band to me. I guess they did get sort of dark on that album.
stuco Fair enough but I still think it's not quite right to refer to them as a hard rock band. I think the name throws a lot of people off. People have this preconceived idea about what a band called "The Grateful Dead" is supposed to be like, _if_ they're not familiar with the band.
I'm not really familiar with the Dead except for the popular songs but were they really known as a hard rock band and then became mellower over the years?
No. Acid rock maybe, they wore many hats. Lots of country and blues influences of course, but also jazz and soul. They were very eclectic, heavy LSD use will do that to you.
lolmany tried to replace them, none succeeded. then JM who is a fan stepped in and did not want to replace anyone, he just wanted to fill in the best he could without disrespecting Jerry, the band or the music
Bill Beliakoff there he was, getting deep into Jerry's searing lead guitar pyrotechnics. Donald simply could not believe how gnarly the licks were. 'Bigly!' he exclaimed.
this is what you call a perfect storm, or divine intervention, all the stars were lined up perfectly maybe, 5 talented musicians in their own way, who could play music very well and understood music at the same time that got together by fate that started when LSD was becoming known to many people and were there for the acid tests and from the city that started and was the hippie movement. yes i know i am leaving some stuff out, but you can add to this. this made me laugh; one of the grateful dead's hottest song right now, a real oldie but goodie lol
sittingnextto ~ assuming that the live footage is from the Spectrum, they played there January 5th & 12th,1979 (the last Philly shows with K & D)...maybe the footage is from January? Or maybe network-purchased "stock footage"?
The interviewer didnt have clue as to who or what the Grateful Dead are. When he called them a hard rock band I nearly wet myself from laughing so hard!
Bob Weir turns his head in disgust when the interviewer says “I’m not particularly thrilled with the ‘70s” because Bobby knew the Dead and music in general were in a great place in the ‘70s.
The corporate normies never could properly interview this band. And if you ask an average fan about the myth of the Grateful Dead they will look at you all starry-eyed and be unable to even tell you the core of the myth. I know this because I took the time to research the myth of the Grateful Dead it's started somewhere near Egypt. That's what makes this pilgrimage very meaningful. To summarize the myth in a very short way suffice it to say that it incorporates the Golden Rule as a stranger helps a dead stranger To Get To Heaven... but in helping to properly bury the dead person the traveling stranger is rewarded as the spirit of the Grateful Dead protects him on his dangerous Journey.
lol - the Dead were NEVER "hard rock:" and were actually at their most "MELLOW" during the Acid Cowboy era of the early 70's. The late 70's and early 80's were there most "rock n roll" period.
garcia is funny is shit: "seventies doesn't have much of personality except...advanced social disease." this proves to me he was a really interesting guy, not some stereotypical hippie dipshit. I can also tell by the way he sniffs that he's got a nose full of candy.
+Markus Rose both he and bobby are coked up to the gills!! jerry's voice is telling and bob's temperament is telling. and lately, bill kreutzman's gone on record to say that they were all really blowing through lots of cocaine during the 70's and 80's. he didn't have anything good to say about a band all rocking coke during performances, suggesting that it made everyone "individuals" rather than rocking together cohesively. i get that about coke. it always made me feel like i was the best thing of all time - one of the most hilariously false impressions i've ever had in my days!!!
Yeah, they talk a little bit about the Pyramid gig here . . . according to most accounts, Jerry was borderline-jonesing during that entire tour, really in pretty bad physical shape. Glad he remembered it fondly, but it's too bad he was so far from his peak for what should have been one of the highlight experiences of his life.
"The 70's was people scratching their heads about the 60's"...I love that J!
"Personally, I'd like to hear more about the '30s." -Jerry Garcia. One of many great jokes Jerry told.
I think this was half-joking. Looking back at a lot of classic songs from the dead’s live catalogue, many tracks we know and love were covered from 1930 jug bands. Sometimes word for word, sometimes bits and pieces. Gotta love that depression era storytelling
Dude I was in the process of typing in the quotation when I realized you had already took the words right out of my head 🤣.. right on 😊
"They make you feel good, they make you feel better than anything." What a great quote, facts is facts.
It's the LSD chica!

"The 70s are people scratching their heads about the 60s"

Make a playlist and put it in chronological order. I'm just about to do that myself
Jerry is just brilliant.

The Dead were in the midst of their best years. No wonder Bob was annoyed, he knew how good they were playing.
Jerry’s guitar & vocals are what I followed. so original, no one like him, his lyrics and style.
I Love You

Brought back great memories of The Spectrum!!
Someone in the 1970s must have made a fortune supplying every single set with houseplants.
lol they do add a nice vibe. The camera crew probably hid their coke in them
House plants?
I think it's probably more likely than not that dope dealers were submitting bids to cater Dead events😉
I needed this today!
You can see how connected they are when they interview. And of course of when they play

they will go down in history in their time just as Beethoven or Mozart did
First off, i'd like to hear more about the '30's
Gawd they got a killer show. Nov. 1979 is so awesome.
The live clips they keep showing have Donna and Keith Godchaux in it but they were out of the band by November 79 and Brent was in. My favorite era of the band was the Keith and Donna years.
Donna and Keith left in February 1979.
This is really cool, I'm glad to I watched this
Let the good times roll!
Forever!
We gonna stay here till we soothe our souls, if it takes ALL NIGHT LONG.

"Take it easy, man
Take it easy!" 😂❤
That time some Philadelphia news editor made it look like Bob Weir was the leader of the Dead.
I was always there from the beginning of time. From Patti Cornell. From the beginning of time
This is great!
There never was, nor with there ever be again, anything as hot and rocking as the Dead. Luckily I was a young adult in the 80s and was able to see the band 30 times in the period between 80s-95.

Anyone else notice that dude rockin the double bird to the camera at 1:07??
At a rock concert? Noo, never.
Nice Find!
That's a decent intro by the reporter. I've heard many others that were much more hyperbolic
The narrator for this piece used to get up at the crack of dawn every morning and have his vocal cords and speech accent starched and pressed. It was a $500.00 per week expense.
Wow
Wait, he used a piece of crack every morning? Was it invented? I think it was more freebase then.
"Take it easy, man!" ha ha

It's always interesting to hear a squares take on the dead. Hard rock? Since when has the Dead ever been remotely hard?
+Paul TheSkeptic some of the stuff on Skull and Roses is pretty hard for its day.

No. Acid rock maybe, they wore many hats. Lots of country and blues influences of course, but also jazz and soul. They were very eclectic, heavy LSD use will do that to you.
Not that it matters, but how many people attended the Egypt show? Looks like about 50.

garcia is funny is shit: "seventies doesn't have much of personality except...advanced social disease." this proves to me he was a really interesting guy, not some stereotypical hippie dipshit. I can also tell by the way he sniffs that he's got a nose full of candy.
Agreed. Fat Man rocks!
+Markus Rose both he and bobby are coked up to the gills!! jerry's voice is telling and bob's temperament is telling. and lately, bill kreutzman's gone on record to say that they were all really blowing through lots of cocaine during the 70's and 80's. he didn't have anything good to say about a band all rocking coke during performances, suggesting that it made everyone "individuals" rather than rocking together cohesively. i get that about coke. it always made me feel like i was the best thing of all time - one of the most hilariously false impressions i've ever had in my days!!!
Yeah, they talk a little bit about the Pyramid gig here . . . according to most accounts, Jerry was borderline-jonesing during that entire tour, really in pretty bad physical shape. Glad he remembered it fondly, but it's too bad he was so far from his peak for what should have been one of the highlight experiences of his life.
Bob Weir took it onto himself, like the others cared.
Fool said GD was becoming more “mellow,” he never heard 1/11/79’s Jack Straw
