I can but didn't want em to; 1967 guitar oh yeah

IMHO this is THE best version of Cream Puff War live (I heard it was only played 7 times live). The organ work is great, Garcia is cooking, but listen to Bill on those drums!!! Simply amazing!

Bill is the drummer I aspire to be like. I can't play to the dead without feeling like I know absolutely nothing on drums lol, Bill is just insane

All you people debating about Keith vs. Brent DO realize the organ here is Pig, don't you?

Yeah, that's Pig -- I dug his playing but that Vox sure did sound cheesy! Like a friggin' roller rink . . . I like it a lot better after the band got some money together and could afford a B-3.

Give Jerry credit for saying that

Wow, I really love hearing these early recordings with Pigpen going crazy on those keys. A shame he couldn't keep up with the band while they jammed like this. Not all recordings with him were great but this one truly is!

Incredible! Best version ever of this great song!

I remember this one well. Great light shows and sound all around. I wouldn't trade those days for anything in this life. Forget all about war, people. Listen to (or create) great music, instead.

Before Jerry shredded his voice with cigarettes and drugs and the only thing he shredded was neck of his Strat. God rest his soul and God bless the GD forever.

The question is........where are the anti-war people NOW, we are now fighting three , maybe four wars ,and nobody says anything, as innocent people are murdered every day by U.S. Troops. for no reason..I served during the Viet Nam war , and saw my generation , traumatized,and left on the streets,to fend for themselves. Now our beloved government is crippling another generation the same way with ruthless un-just , wars. pray for our troops, and open your eyes, STOP THE WAR(s)

You can't stop the wars. Nobody can. And, First Turkey, Russia, Iran(Persia), and the southern States and Nations, have to come against Israel; ...for it is written But when the Prince of Peace comes, after He destroys the wicked Nations then He will establish Peace. And only He, Himself Ps: I forgot to mention North Korea and China. They come against the City that God loves, also The Peace of Christ be with you

Jerry Garcia was always the man who seeks to peace ..... I can feel that great quote .... We need that people again in that age ooooooooooooooo

Donna and Bob Wier had a magical vocal interaction. Their voices blended beautifully. So the Dead were very, very strong 72-77 in part due to Bobby and Donna really stepping up so Jerry could concentrate on writing and playing and making the movie. I think Donna helped give the Dead some breathing space and should be remembered for that. Kieth also had a wonderful piano sound - a great "gospel" feel that worked so well with Robert Hunter songs. Original American music.

Jeez, watching this I'm mesmerized...between the music and the visuals, it's like time travel. Great vid.

I worked at many Greatful Dead shows in the old days, so bear with me. The espoused philosophy is only possible if you have the luxury of standing by while others fight and while others try to stop it. I was up for the draft, but I could not run away, and I could not quit go out into the streets, but I knew that the thing was wrong. I was 18 and all sorts of claims and motives were out there, competing for your attention. Now we know, but looking back, it was a real confusing time for a kid.

I love the Dead's early period, and this is one of my favorite songs. All the more amazing that Pigpen and Bob Weir were, supposedly, struggling to keep up, and were in fact "fired" in 68 or 69, but essentially kept showing up anyway. Jerry Garcia was an inspired guitarist even then, but damn. I don't think any of the Dead were good enough technically, at that time, to stick on side and go about kicking people out of bands. The band rocked, and Pig and Bob were big reasons for that.

@jazzmanchgo

4 жыл бұрын

Well, they weren't struggling so much on straight-ahead rock & roll like this -- it was the "out" stuff, the free-form jams, that they were getting lost in. And as the Dead grew, those jams got more complex and exploratory. Weir was eventually able to find his place in them, but poor Pig never really did, which was why they relegated him to hand-drums and percussion for a while (which, supposedly, really broke his heart).

fucking hell, this version ROCKS!!!

best live version of Cream Puff War ever.

This video is a very interesting (and thrilling) reminder of the fact that the musical behemoth know as The Grateful Dead started out as a garage-rock band - the tightest and baddest garage-rock band in history.

thanks, it really screwed up my mother for life, thus screwing us all up, a long strange trip it's been! We all need to rise up & end the stupid war going on, hopefully it will end soon! Peace!

It is called "Something's Happenning" from 1968

Actually the song is about a divorce!

Thanks! I will try and track it down. thanks also for taking the time to post this video-it is great!

Captain Trip days !! General high Power....

Remember when ;-)! The Dead at their best!

Love the music.

Thanks for sharing, great video!!

Epic intro quote, loving it

i agree with the quote

I really like this video. I think it really captures the spirit. My father and grandfather would think they guy in the military suit with the airplanes on his shoulder was despicable

Our beloved Gen. Hershey Bar at 2:10 ...gone but not forgotten.

Young people and free speech -- the future is yours! Don't give up!

It sounds like the 11/19/1966 show from the Fillmore, coming from the soundboard. Supposedly they only played Cream Puff War live 7 times.

I's never too late

Great music

different versions..... i think almost every show, there songs were different, be it from lyrics or sound.... thats one aspect that made them so great...

Nice track much better than the Album it was on.

Forget the "Ds" and the "Rs" -- just get into this mix and dance. Life is too short. Enjoy it all while you can (or while you can afford to enjoy it, anyway).

only love can conquer hate

@petegib7 yes to that, I've always liked the first studio album as well. As for 'garage rock' I think even by this time Garcia already knew his way around the guitar much better than most professional rock and rollers of the day.

Epic introduction

Those were the days.

Thanks for the posting, love this song. I realize the Dead only did this song 7 times in concert and understand the quote from Jerry: however, I honestly want to know: if Jerry felt this way, why (even though they did not write it) did they play "Morning Dew" (which I also love) so many times? Not looking for flames, just honest answers.

I love the LSD, AND THE GRATEFUL DEAD, the days spent at Grateful Dead shows in Cali blazin on a sunny afternoon in the lot waiting to see Jerry G. and the Grateful Dead, "hey now"...........doses, doses, dancing with ther pretty girls, and guys in beards, "she had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes" dancin, dancin in the street, THE DEAD ARE PLAYING GREAT MUSIC NOW FOLKS IN 2010 LOOK UP "THE ROAD" ON FACEBOOK TO HEAR RECENT GREAT DEAD SHOWS, NOW GO SEE THE DEAD SUMMER TOUR BE THERE

@redtelephone66 If the song was inspired by anything Arthur Lee did, I think it would have to be "7 And 7 Is". I can't think of too much else from Love that reminds me of this particular song. "7" didn't come out until the second Love album, but I think they used to play it in concert well before then.

STARTS AT 1:35 VERY NICE.

oh baby that is sweet

@60spastlife , Cont.> Peace to you and yours my friend!

But Morning Dew is a nuke song and they kept playing that

I think it's a damn good album but has little in common with the type of music associated with the Dead. Actually the first one and the one that followed, Anthem of the Sun, are my favorite Dead albums.

Thanks. But I am hoping to find out the exact date & concert so I can somehow put this song on CD. This is the best version I have ever heard! Totally rocks! Can anyone out there help-?

@MrMeddled Yes. Mickey Hart also I believe.

Significant vehicle without a top at 6:21...

Strange times indeed

@detkadetkadetka I think the fact there is no military conscription (draft) as there was during the Vietnam War, casualties in Afghanistan are relatively much lower, napalm (sp?) is not being used as it was in Vietnam (the use of this and images that showed its horrific effects on civilians was a major factor in turning many Americans against the war.) and the idea that the present conflict is in response to 9/11, thereby justifying the war, point to why there is no large anti-war "movement".

theres also an itunes version

@gratefulvideo Thanks for the upload. Could you post Jerry's quote somewhere. I really like it

My grandpa would think that guy mocking the Air Force would be just terrible

they have gotten a-lot better at making war more acceptable...

I can't read all the quotes. Any idea what Carly Simon is saying so intensely?!

@1999wharfrat Everything u just said x2000 spot on bro

That is not true. What is the name of the track (or track number) that the quote appears on? I have that CD and this quote is nowhere to be found in any part of the interview, unless there are different versions, which is highly unlikely.
