2. Casting the show to my TV with a fairly decent sound bar. It deserves a good presentation.

Pre-show has a dude from England that is a true Deadhead - Sam Cutler....apparently he was their accountant after Lenny Hart absconded with $300K from the Dead.....great stories. He obviously loves this band dearly. What a fascinating dude.

3. He was in the other movie they released

Long Strange Trip - he was in that talking in a car and hears the police and he gets pulled over supposedly.

Should be good - 1972 was a great year for The Dead!

4. Pretty goddam awesome, so far. Wish they could nix the background BS psychedelia...nt

The sound is crisp and live. They do not disappoint. They were young, confident and live for millions to see on German TV in 1972. They took Europe by storm. They got the Dead......

8. "Bertha" the 1st tune outta the gate.....

Live critiquing, thought I'd mention the 1st song....

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. "Playing in the Band"

Holy shit....best version ever. Bob and Donna-Jean lead, Jerry stays in the bacground.....fun times.

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. "Mr. Charley Told Me So"

Ron "Pigpen" McKernan's song. He was on the way out, sadly, permanently.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. "Sugaree"

Thought the 1st attempt was pretty damn good.....

[CountAllVotes]

9. Do I have to belong to amazon?

All I am getting is a interview w/Weir.

No music.

It routes me to amazon and wants me to join something I think?

?

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. Clear that....Look for the Live button in red.

10. Just melted during "Uncle John's Band"

Can't tell you how many times that song has cropped up in my life. And don't want those stories spread around.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. Huh? I missed that in this show, the whole thing.

Maybe we're watching a different stream! LOL

12. "One More Saturday Night"

Weir's tune, but Jerry's got his back. Another better with great video....

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. On my goodness, Keith Gaudsheux (sp) was an awesome piano player.....nt

[CountAllVotes]

17. Godchaux was the best piano player they ever had

I was lucky, I saw him in 1974.

He was indeed perfect for the job!

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. "Playing in the Band" take 2.....

Wow, great audio/video. This is the band when I got hit upside my head with a sonic 2 x 4.

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. Another Bob and Donna-Jean tune, but very excellent.......Weir

was getting ahead of Jerry....and that was a great thing....

19. You people must have different links.

I'm on "Dark Star".

21. Jerry's up now w/Truckin'

Grateful Dead - Beat Club 4/21/72

It has a scroll of conversation going on the fundraiser link right here:

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. ???? Not yet, maybe you are ahead of us? nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. "Beat it on down the line"

Friggen' great. They were the US musical European ambassadors of the 70's....

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. "Truckin", take 2....

Awesome band.....only Bill on Drums, Garcia, Weir, Lesh, and Keith K. What a song for the ages....

[OAITW r.2.0]

24. "Drums _ Kruetzman

He always laid the beat. Mickey, he was out there....

Segue into.....eventually, Comin Around, I guess....

[jls4561]

25. I have no idea what's up with the feed

But now it's "Sugar Magnolia"

Ushered in every New Year at the Civic in SF, then in Oakland. To hell with that New Years ball drop in Times Square. That's how you celebrate the New Year!

Side note: Bill Graham always came out of the rafters at midnight, in some elaborate costume, Bill was terrified of heights, and would only do the New Year's entrance if Mr. Willie John Cashman, superb welder and old biker (and really nice guy) checked it out and told him it was safe.

26. thanks. My husband and I are enjoying this very much

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. Glad to hear that'

As an old fart, the Dead was best in the early 70's....

[CountAllVotes]

27. I sent them a few bucks

Why not?

Life can be damned short, that's what I think these days.

Jerry at his peak - 30 yrs. old.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Lots of Experimentation.....

And then, it ended.....
