I went from records to tapes, on to CDs, and now I'm back collecting records again 🙂 I had a short stent with 8 track tapes as a kid and when I was having to drive my mom's Grand Marquis in the early 1980s. It only had an 8-track player. I've just recently been trying to get my collection of tapes and bring them back to my house. I just sold my dad's house down in Houston and his house up in Fort Worth and my tapes were quite difficult to find where they had been left in his homes. In fact I only found a fraction of them. I wish I could find the rest of them but now it's too late since the homes have been sold. I'm legally blind now and that didn't help any in searching. But I enjoy all of those media formats and I even have two reel to reel recorders that were my dads. After I get the McIntosh system look that, possibly recapped, and then I set up the Acoustic Research AR-3 speakers, I'll be jamming again! I will definitely be hooking up the tape deck, for cassettes, the Roberts reel to reel recorder as well, and my old Onkyo CD player. I've already got the extra Dual turntable that will be hooked up ready to go as well 🙂 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
I’m 43 now but became a wannabe dead head in about 1993-94ish. They went on tour and came to my hometown when I was 15. My mom let me and some friends camp out at the mall on the sidewalk overnight to wait for tickets to go on sale. Ticketmaster was inside Parisian (or maybe it was Pizitz) and it was so much fun! The next morning I had my first job interview and Barnes and Noble bookstore and I wreaked of weed and was still tripping. I didn’t get the job BUT I have some incredible memories from that experience.
KATHERINE I didn't know TicketMaster was American as well as I had a libertines tickets live in Kentish town London TM ticket when I was 21 and my dad threw it out (never gave me the money as well as they sold out but I got a good guitar12 string for 1 birthday ) about this interview was you 'AfterGlow' and flaming -syd barrett PF song ' when u see the trippy visual s but no high any more or was u still high from the acid ? Lol
They Did it there ownway,you cant compare them to anyone,no other band.They the dead ( jerry and the gang )where the outlaws of the rock n roll world.They played what they loved,and for the deadheads they were a part of a big peaceful family.I never seen the dead play never meet the cats,but i will tell you my dead friends i feel very close to them! The grateful dead have made me into a peaceful loving man.I used to be something else craved violence and full of hate.Then my ma (mum) brought me Europe 72 on record.And im new man,yes and i still love getting loaded as fuck.Peace and love and respect to the deadheads.
Glad to hear what a positive impact they’ve made on your life. Same here, the Dead created a happiness in me I never knew I had and it’s the only band that I can listen to on a horrible day and the music actually makes me smile. I just watched Long Strange Trip on Prime and couldn’t stop smiling for all 6 episodes.
I found out about the dead very early if yiu wanted a t shirt with skulls it was either the dead or sabbath but i remember a song i liked before getting on the bus the dj for wmmr it must of been the roses was and still one of my favorites this music has been in my life for 3 more years will be 40 years keep on tryckin
Thank you fellas, I may have been young at the end but my life has been enriched by the music & my days were so much more interesting being able to escape Ohio to go to Space and lose my Face
Changed my life to many lives for me for the better. Thanks boys keep it up remaining members, Love that’s Real Not Fade Away-I’ll be seeing Dad and Company soon
Man,that dude Mickey seemed cool as a fan,when he joined the Dead.Then I seen a clip of him around 1987or 88'.He had bowl haircut,talked very robotic.At the end of one his statements ,he looked into the camera and said, it's bad form.His look,his talk and his vibe was one of a KaReN..From cool to KaReN..Dang,Mick I wish I would not have seen your later clip.He was my favorite drummer until that day.
Not what you asked for but there is an excellent studio recording of Lowell teaching the Dead how to do Good Lovin'. His vocals rock, Bob picks it up near the end
Jerry told me he only did about 10 hits at the most plus he didn’t think he did that much because a few hits was enough for him to go where he wanted to go in his mind ! After that he said he was done with it because he saw all there was to c ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹💀☠️⚡️
I loved that movie , one flew over the cocos nest ! It was insane to c how real it is in those places + they r that bad still ! U would not believe what really happened in those places ? I hate them because I have a friend that was put in there for one reason only ! He was better then this cops son being no. 2 so when he saw a chance he put him away ! He fell down while running so he had his 2 nd concussion which made him look like he was screwd up so that cop said he thought he was on bath salts ! All lies ! Me + his mom come together to talk about it but we knew we couldn’t get him out ! So fucking sad plus he was half black ! 😥🥲😢❤️🐇🐰
You gotta try out their live shows… You can’t go wrong with any concert from 77! Check out “To Terrapin” or Cornell 1977 that Cornell show is mind blowing and that’s the best most funky version of “Dancing in the Streets” I have ever heard! Another great concert to start off with is Dicks Picks Vol. 8. But if “In the Dark” is your jam check out: -Road Trips, Vol. 2 No. 1 Live 9/1/90 -Formerly Known as the Warlocks Live in Hampton, VA, October 1989 Also I don’t mean to sound like or assume that you don’t know anything about the Grateful Dead…I don’t know as much as it sounds like. I know I shouldn’t have but I assumed you are kind of starting out on The Grateful Dead because you mentioned one of their studio albums as a favorite. If you have the want and the time please check out Live Grateful Dead if you haven’t already. For me listening to The Grateful Dead live is the tops for me. It doesn’t matter what mood I am in I can always find a show to fit my mood. The Grateful Dead never repeated their set lists and every concert is different and each year is different and if you listen enough you can even hear the band changing and evolving their sound in different months. My ex girlfriend was a real bummer and when you are a bummer most cool stuff doesn’t make sense. She could never understand The Grateful Dead…”I don’t understand how you can listen to the same songs over and over and over again” I told her I rarely ever listen to the same song. She just couldn’t wrap her mind around The Grateful Dead and definatley not The Dead Live. For all of us Dead Heads out here we get it!!!
Let’s get things straight- I saw these guys several hundred times,this myth of a bad night is ridiculous-sure maybe a few miscues,maybe someone is sick,maybe equipment problems- but those were isolated and might effect a song or short period of time-but NEVER a whole show 2) 20 minutes of feedback? More BS
I agree there's no such thing as a bad dead show. It's in regards to the high standards they held themselves to as to whether they considered the show bad/good. Later, dead for life.
Long time Head as well and I'd say I saw some objectively bad shows along the way, especially after Brent died. JGB shows were better than the Dead post 90 imo. All shows had a moment or 2 of fabulous, but I did walk away from a few thinking it was pretty flat and low energy
Steve Parish and pigpen’s brother both say he died from complications of Crohn's disease. Crohns and alcoholism seems more likely than alcohol alone. I don’t think Pigpen knew he had Crohns until it was too late.
@@INDLIS no it didn't. His esophagus separated from his stomach. Alcohol doesn't cause that to happen in any other case, not even old people and Pig was only 27.
a hundred years from now there will still be bands playing their music in bars all over the world
I wonder how many people recognize the voice of the narrator...it's Kris Kristofferson, folks...
Cool, thanks for sharing that.
I find it distracting. Has me thinking more of KK than the GD
nobody else sounds like kris.
Did not know that
excellent job, thanks for posting. For me, the Music Stopped when Jerry passed away in 1995

MTV was awesome in the 80’s and 90’s.
I remember this one so well. Always appreciated Phil's interview. So real. Phil doesn't shy away from the dark side of the band.
YES. And he also doesn't get caught up in the BS Garcia would have *hated* such as Bohemian Grove, and tours just for the money.

Can’t tell you how much these vh1 docs helped me learn about good music at an early formative age. I’d always watch them anytime they were on
Idk how many times I watched this and the zeppelin episode. Felt like I missed it all but now that I found Billy Strings I don't have to feel so bad!
I really enjoyed that again! My cheeks hurt from smiling and I’ll be tripping down memory lane all day 😎 ¡many thanks!

Yes it is!
Legendary
Would’ve been great to see/hear Lowell George play live with The Dead. What a great fit that is
Not what you asked for but there is an excellent studio recording of Lowell teaching the Dead how to do Good Lovin'. His vocals rock, Bob picks it up near the end
Love you , Ron.
Thankyou for this!
Kris did this well
Sure did, he’s the best that the series had to offer!!!
1991 or 92. southern California. The LSD from San Francisco/Berkeley was flowing like 🍺 I was 14 or 15. The Dead were stull Touring with Jerry Garcia
Much love best wishes
Jerry told me he only did about 10 hits at the most plus he didn’t think he did that much because a few hits was enough for him to go where he wanted to go in his mind ! After that he said he was done with it because he saw all there was to c ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹💀☠️⚡️

Not crazy about The Dead, but this was a good documentary
The CIA acid test same LSD Charlie Manson had.
In the Dark is my favorite album

@@joesmith2604 Yeah, if In the Dark is Indlis’ favorite then they are going to love early ‘90’s shows with Hornsby on the keys.
@@joesmith2604 I have and I enjoy them more than the studio albums
@@tmobeygee5351 it was the first album I heard as a kid
They give off lake rock vibes.
So weird at 15:00 with the jugalo deal!
What version of uncle johns band is in the outro?
Omg to be at the Egypt show, did anyone go?
Does anyone know what that song is at the 10:27 mark?
Who is this interloper trying to monetize the band for his own profit?
Let’s get things straight- I saw these guys several hundred times,this myth of a bad night is ridiculous-sure maybe a few miscues,maybe someone is sick,maybe equipment problems- but those were isolated and might effect a song or short period of time-but NEVER a whole show 2) 20 minutes of feedback?

777 maybe he meant in the early acid test days
They did the feedback thing, space is an example of that as well.
Not according to Jerry🤔

Who's the narrator ??
Thats what im saying. Full cowboy. Reminds me of the Big Lebowski lol
Only thing is he reminds me of the daywalker's weapon supplier. He's got that whole cowboy thing going, I dig his style.
Kris Kristofferson
@@KittyCarlile-490 .thank you 💚
Pigpen did Not die of sorosis of the liver, please stop saying this.
@DIRECT SOUND no.
@DIRECT SOUND he was 27, however you spell it, it is an old man's disease, he was not an old man. He had no liver problems
Steve Parish and pigpen’s brother both say he died from complications of Crohn's disease. Crohns and alcoholism seems more likely than alcohol alone. I don’t think Pigpen knew he had Crohns until it was too late.
The alcohol still killed him
@@INDLIS no it didn't. His esophagus separated from his stomach. Alcohol doesn't cause that to happen in any other case, not even old people and Pig was only 27.
