Sidenote: The year Garcia passed away, I saw The Allman Brothers perform at Memphis in May. They took the stage and launched into Dark Star/ St Stephen as a memorial to Jerry Garcia, then segued into Soulshine. It was absolutely fantastic….and I cried like a baby!
I saw them pull out a long instrumental Franklin's Tower, shortly after Garcia passed. Cool show, by the Allmans but I was mourning in a big way, it was bitter sweet. My favorite band ever, gone forever. Can't believe so long ago now.
That's hella cool. We were stunned and our only reaction drive staight to gg park and set up camp. When I woke up to do a constitutional they moved in like 30 portajohns and at about 11:30 that night i realized they were building a stage and we were right in front in our normal spot. Right in front of Jerry. almost like they saw us and set it up. Are
Can we all just take a second to appreciate how there will literally never be a band like the dead. What they carved out as far as sonic progression. They were equally musically intellectually capable of creating masterpieces but it's the daring notion of how they did it.
Can you imagine a band nowadays trying to get a record contract, telling Mr. Moneybuns that "the best part is, we never know what we're going to play, and it comes out different every time?" Oh ya, just sign here.....
Funkadelic and Phish are the only other bands that deserves as much attention as the dead . Funkadelic in the 70s was chaos , they played like savages and took more lsd then any band ever . Funkadelic 70s , Jerry from 71-78 , Phish from 97-2000 are the greatest eras that take us behind the curtain
I genuinely loved the guy who introduced me to this. How he came to meet a Russian artist who couldn’t care less about him, his descent into heroine and subsequent death all alone is to this day the most heartbreaking thing I carry for the rest of my life. Grateful Dead really does carry the whole weight of my despair and I cannot thank them enough x
This gave me a good cry this Saturday morning, I was cooking bacon and potatoes only too look up and see a butterfly on morning dew.. my nana just passed and she said whenever you see a butterfly think of me... This one's for you nana! Always in my heart.. thank you And thank you Grateful Dead!!
I was tripping at this show. Was given a housewarming plant right before hand that I named Dark Star/Morning Dew after the show. Naming my house plants. Boy was I a hippie. Still am.
after a certain point there were no shows that I did not trip at, until the last one. tolerance was too high and lack of noticeable effect or had I merged with the molecules? Didn't even do entire tour but tripped every night but the night of Deer Creeks cancelled one as I was thrust into driving. nights off still saw me there but preferably campgrounds or farmers property. The one night in a very nice St. Louis hotel room wasn't very fun. I could count on one hand the number of cars going to the show. we dropped as leaving the campground and almost couldn't get to that show. packed up next morning and headed right back and that was when we discovered the accident and lost our "hitch hiker". note: probably not my account I'm writing on. but the missing guy was named Rob and I think from Arizona or Cali but his buddy was West Virginia. Great fun they were. anyhow, long story...GD goes better with electric yummies.
I was 10 when the guys were playing this one. Another 15 years before I heard those immortal words " the Grateful Dead". They have been with me ever since. I plan to have them play me a tune or two when I leave this world.
Morning Dew is such a powerful song. I love listening to them loud to get all of the nuances. They really got the dynamics down in these '73/'74 versions. This one is no exception. I also love Keith's playing in this one, especially as the 2nd jam picks up. Great stuff! Long live the Grateful Dead!
The Winterland Finale. My GOD IN HEAVEN.. What fantastic camerawork. You can trace the subtle visual and audio clues Jerry and Phil are bouncing back and forth in that Dew.. and when Phil hits those Chords as Jerry is climbing that Crescendo, quite frankly, nothing beats it..
This is proof of why they are, and always will be, the best. First verse doesn't come in until 19:00 in. I love the '69 Stars, with their compelling sense of urgency, but this languid version, in no hurry whatsoever, just sounds like the soundtrack of life.
72-74 Dark Star were the best, and the Drums are a big reason why, Bill was in his creative peak here, and honestly Mickey was weighing him down in the early Dark Stars
Snow the Jam Man i couldn’t agree more bill’s solo drumming is one of the things that makes the early 70’s stand out more than the mickey eras. not necessarily better, but dear god the man has unbelievable feel and presence
La force du dead c'est la qualité de l'écoute qu'ils ont les uns pour les autres, cet immense respect mutuel qui leur permet de développer ce type de morceaux avec un feeling inégalable.
I remember when weed had seeds in it. And an ounce of it was twenty bucks. Yes, I'm 71 but there's a frat house across the street from my 🏠 and a next door neighbor with 2 children, all starting out now. I seriously wonder if we'll be here come tonight.
With all the erogenous bad sounds and music of modern times it sure is nice to be able to put this on feels like a familiar hug from an old friend I'm in tears.
There is a fine line between greatness and vast musical self indulgence. This is the antithesis of a one minute, 45-second Ramones song...but I like it. I like both.
One of my favorite trips was on some amazing dead head acid that I acquired from a hippy friend. If I could say anything it’s get your drugs from a dead head you’ll be glad you did haha :)
Not just nostalgia... that ISness is always there; and your connectedness to it all. For me, if I listen to a good quality recording like this and just breath and listen, I start to see the flowers revolving. That peaking feeling.
What more can you ask for? Accomplished musicians playing against and off each other to produce something much more than the sum of its parts....a foretaste of Heaven itself and proof to me as a Christian that human beings are truly made in the Divine Image.
when I first started listening to the dead 20 years ago I didn't care to much for dark star. Like most fans I slowly shifted from listening mostly to the shorter, upbeat first set type songs to the really filthy and psychedelic jams I came more and more to appreciate dark star. It wasn't until I started teaching myself to improvise on guitar that I fully got it. It's way more simple and way more complex than my pre-musician ears could ever comprehend. while playing over various dark stars a dark star backing tracks my newbie girlfriend was pulling out her hair declaring dark star is the most overrated song they play and she was sick of hearing it over and over. now she completely gets it, and agrees it's the dead at their most creative and authentic
Yes indeed. Dark Star is by far for me , the greatest Grateful Dead Composition. I am collecting as many as I can obtain. I also record my own Dark Stars. Here is the link. Please like and sub , if you dig them. :) - ruclips.net/p/PLFjEagF_N2nzPSlW2UK2_-nxhJ6v0XX2A
I am with ya there... Hadn't had had acid since 10th grade when in May 1995 (as I remember) a buddy bought tickets for the coming Tampa Stadium show, a few months before Jerry died, I hadn't heard them live since Baltimore Civic Center, 1973, my oldest son over-nighted a copy of "catcher in the rye", and left a message with his step mother (my third wife, trying to get pregnant at the time, and pissed if I even puffed, woulda flipped if she realized I'd candy flip t that night at age 40) a message that I should re-read page 88 before the concert that night... I found a ten strip on that page... anyway, long story... but... after that evening, though I had owned all the dead studio albums... my wonderful third wife left me (no procreation with her sadly, she was heart broken, since I was diagnosed with testical cancer, and I had to get my lefty chopped), and I was OK, because I started then, that summer, to listen to Dick's Picks... and can't remember which one, but there was a version of Dark Star, a 1973 recording I think, from Tampa stadium, that sent me into a wonderful oblivion, each and every time i listened... sorry, guess little TMI
Thanks for the post. 30 years ago in middle school I had this on side A and side B of a Maxell SL II, so that my yellow Sony Sports Walkman with auto tape flip could keep me warm at night. The music never stopped ✨🎧💙 NFA
How deeply these life long friends of ours are missed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Deeply committed, always Grateful for the Dead. From Vienna. Peace.
The Spanish jam riff at 24:52 is pure jazz. Weir just smelling some good shit and thinkin’ yeah why not fuck it...guys probably didn’t pick it up, as he played it out a bit longer, but they vibed and the train kept moving...next stop the Morning.
Going on 51 years since i got into the Dead at 13. A privilege to have been blessed with their music. As Bill Graham said they are not the best at what they do are the only ones who do it.
Dark Star is definitely something that later incarnations of the Grateful Dead have not been able to perform nearly as well. Much more explorative, and longer too.
Wow, I think this is my favourite version at least so far it is - I've only heard a couple others, this is the most psychedelic one I've heard for sure.
Cow Palace 76 Dew is a good ride. Not necessarily perfect, but so many nuggets of goodness and great energy and dynamics. I had to play it like 10 times in a row when I discovered it ruclips.net/video/PgLL7kRdIn4/видео.html&feature=share
I'm so happy this one is being released on the next daves picks because this is the first grateful dead song I ever heard from this concert. It's very nostalgic to me.
'72, '73 and '74 Dark Stars are the pinnacle of Western civilization. I keep hoping for a re-energization to flip the rotator back around and align the nodes for a rennaissance of maxy-synchronism, but frankly, it's all been downhill since 1978. I've looked under every rock, log and lilypad since, and nothing glows. And YES I love Hoppy John, and I'm REALLY REALLY HAPPY that he's come along and re-puffed the sails (as is, obviously, Bill-the Drummer & Bobby-of the-juvenile-deliquescence). But John Mayers is unqualified to play a REAL Dark Star. And this is not a BAD thing; in the depths of REAL Dark Stars, you can hear Richard Nixon's bullets hitting the kids at Kent State (agitating for PEACE natch, THAT'LL teach the little hippies!) and the real ones even have a whiff of Napalm-Roasted Viet Baby w/ White Phosphorus Sauce. Hoppy should thank his lucky stars he's NOT qualified. Captain Trips wasn't TOO afraid to lead his tour groups into the darkest hells as long as he could bring them back out, but later his own fears of too much power over the audience was just one among many inhibitions. He kinda grew _backwards._ But Mayer can own all the "Cassidys" and "Scarlet Fires" he wants, I hope he stays OUT of the locked doors in the sub-basement for his own mental health. By-the-by, this isn't even _remotely_ dark - try 12/06/73 if tingle is your thingle.
I'll take this Star and quite a few others over Cleveland 12/6/73. I believe it's the longest but it goes a stray and not in a good way, at one point anyway. It's been at least 20 years since I've listened to it, but that's what I remember.
With respect to all the conversation about how good the early or mid 70s versions of Dark Star are, nothing compares to the 68/69 versions where, as someone here says, the sense of urgency is notable. Urgency perhaps, or maybe a cosmic connection not often seen or experienced in such a public fashion for all to blend with.

Proving once again that the Dead are the only ones that do what they do. Collective improv of the likes that most jazz units can't even wrap their heads around.
The year was 2012. research chemicals were perfectly legal you could go to a paraphernalia shop or order online. My friends came across something called 25i. We got a huge amount in powder form. It wasn't widely known so we had no idea how to dose. In the end we (me first) decided to do a line (bear in mind this stuff is active in small amounts of granules) Well I had my phone and another version of the dark star known as the beautiful jam. I can pin point to this moment as my awakening. The rest of the next few days is unexplainable
@@gratefulgregg9058 That's the funny thing most people you rise up are awake in many ways. We just lay dormant till something brings us to the front as an actual being
Wrong! Al wrong! It's about 24 minutes give or take 250 mcs of LSD and the forces tether from the axis, shall we go, you and I.....throoooooooghhhhh the transitive nightfall of diamonds.............
there's jimi hendrix..and then there' JERRY.yahoo.there are only two guitarists i can think of that can create and improvise off the cuff at THAT level..consistently.this is a dreamy laid back version, but jerrys not even on fire yet.
There have been many fine guitar players, but 3 stand out as more INTERESTING than all the rest. Each very different. Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, and Tom Verlaine.

This version of Morning Dew is chilling. Listen while watching b-roll drone footage of a world of empty streets.

check out Bonnie Dobson who composed Morning Dew. Plus all hear may note the differences in lyrics, me too. I've only noticed there is an interesting diff
🍕
Kelly Mcgrath I recommend the 10-18-74 dew, also from winterland, from their run of “last shows”. Truly phucking epic
Last Dark Star for years was also present at that show. Cheers from NY! :)
How lovely of a tune
Saw the Dead first in Walnut Creek, California 1966
Las Lomas High School
@@popeman1st Holy Ghost Hall
@@popeman1st amazing, but it was well before 1968 I was there.
@@popeman1st hey maaan
Proving once again that the Dead are the only ones that do what they do. Collective improv of the likes that most jazz units can't even wrap their heads around.
THE Great Jerry Garcia. TZZZZ.
The year was 2012. research chemicals were perfectly legal you could go to a paraphernalia shop or order online.
My friends came across something called 25i. We got a huge amount in powder form. It wasn't widely known so we had no idea how to dose.
In the end we (me first) decided to do a line (bear in mind this stuff is active in small amounts of granules)
Well I had my phone and another version of the dark star known as the beautiful jam. I can pin point to this moment as my awakening. The rest of the next few days is unexplainable
Leon Wynne sounds insane man
Everyone's awake man, you just realized it.
@@gratefulgregg9058 That's the funny thing most people you rise up are awake in many ways. We just lay dormant till something brings us to the front as an actual being
Live from The Acid Palace. ;)
Love the Grateful Dead covers by Mikaela Davis & Southern Star, hope you check them out some day.
2/24/22: For my love, Bobby.
With love.
P.S. I felt it in my toes.

Sigh. My wife just walked past and said, "What's that noise? It sounds like itchy ears!"

Get rid of her
Not that simple Chris, some people have kids.
My hubs too😣
"Well i married me a wife she's been trouble all my life"
this song is about judgment day its about being left behind
Raul Huerta how do you figure that
It's about a nuclear holocaust, the author of the original version Bonnie Dobson has said so@@eddywade3994
Wrong! Al wrong! It's about 24 minutes give or take 250 mcs of LSD and the forces tether from the axis, shall we go, you and I.....throoooooooghhhhh the transitive nightfall of diamonds.............
@@eddywade3994 He means Morning Dew, not Dark Star. Dew is about a nuclear apocalypse.
It's a story about being left behind....😤
One of the better performences
THe only thing that comapres to what the Dead was doing was Miles Davis during the tiem from "In a Silent Way" through 76 "Pangaea" and "Agharta".
Best dark star>dew ever😋😋😋
am Thinking this is why I am A Deadhead
😊😊😊
who puts an ad in the middle of a jam
there's jimi hendrix..and then there' JERRY.yahoo.there are only two guitarists i can think of that can create and improvise off the cuff at THAT level..consistently.this is a dreamy laid back version, but jerrys not even on fire yet.
star cloud Don't forget about Trey and Santana
Zappa
Duane allman
There have been many fine guitar players, but 3 stand out as more INTERESTING than all the rest. Each very different. Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, and Tom Verlaine.
Hendrix never played the kind of ensemble improv which the Dead did in 1972-1974, it was more straight jamming
Is this when the counting started? !.847.000 days since the last SF dark star....
they played dark star at Winterland 12/31/78
Last one before that was October 18, 1974 (the version in Grateful Dead movie.)
IT IS WHAT IT IS FOLKS
