  Great interview! I am curious about your thoughts on post Jerry Dead. In my opinion, Warren Haynes made the guys blossom. No one else came close since they joined forces again. Jimmy Herring did well, be he couldn’t sing and it was clear the guys were really listening and reacting to Warren. That’s just my opinion and I really wish I saw more 2003/04/09 shows.

  I don’t really have a ton of thoughts on the subject. The subject can be so charged with different opinions, my thinking is you should do what you enjoy when it comes to live music. The Fare Thee Well book does a great job unpacking all the different versions of the GD post ‘95. I enjoyed that read a lot, and found it very useful.

  Fun fact, a keen eye will notice that when comparing the vintage script logo to the modern ones the waveform switch settings are not in the same positions. Hence why I try not to just go by what position it's in but also explain the waveform shape also. Keep on Truckin' & pickin

  Great Video thanks!! I have two vintage script-logo ones and they are better than the modern ones. I got to see Jerry's rig up close and he had his waveform switch setting set all the way clockwise (8 O'clock position), the two little circles with a line all the way through them. With that setting and the speed control up high (3 O'clock) is the closest sound I think to a Leslie speaker. My second favorite setting is the one you use it on, first click clockwise (3 O'clock), large circles with the line all the way through it. This deeper setting I like best with speed control on low. I almost choked when I saw what they are selling for on Reverb right now, since I don't need two of them I'm heavily debating selling one off.

  @@crazylegscabs5659 Did you end up giving the setting I suggested a try? The reason I ask is because from my experience of owning several of these is that the Vactrols get funky with age, especially before they fail. The light dependent resistors inside the Vactrols are fine, it's the LED part that is the issue. My pedals have rebuilt Vactrols and it's a night and day difference. I plugged mine in to play with it against your video and with the same settings you use I get a very different sound. When I have time I'll make a video and upload it.

  The trouble with so many Garcia enthusiasts is that they listen to Jerry. Jerry listened to Django, Charlie Christian, and a million others. You have to arrive at Jerry the way he did. I hate playing with people who think playing dead music is an excuse to be sloppy. I’d rather play it with non deadheads who have a deep vocabulary and play from within themselves, not a 2D Jerry xerox.

• 
  @crazylegscabs56592 ай бұрын

  I agree and disagree at the same time. Personally, Garcia was the reason I picked up the guitar in the first place, and it opened up this wide world of other music. Exactly what you mentioned, but more in the Old Timey lane. Elizabeth Cotton, Jimmy Rodgers, Bob Wills, I could keep going. Then there’s the space music side of things: Sun Ra, Ornette ect. Without Garcia I wouldn’t have found my way to half of that stuff. And regarding trying to play dead music with non heads, good luck. I could never make it work. Anyway thanks for the provocative comment. I appreciate it✌️

  @@crazylegscabs5659 I hear you, my original inspirations were Jerry and Dickey Betts when I started playing around 1971 and it took me years to develop my own style. My real issue with it is that people who play Jerry, only play what they think Jerry was playing, and don’t play things that he didn’t play, but in reality, his playing was never the cliché that people think, to quote Mickey Hart ‘we are playing notes, but not the notes people suspect”. Sure, Jerry had his rote riffs, and his little tags, but listen to the 7 hour compilations of 73-74 Playin’ jams and he never ONCE falls into a riff, it is all linear improvisation, how you clear your mind in an arena and just listen and play is pire genius for all of them, never falling into a riff, or into a finger position pattern. I have my Jerry rig and my Jerry guitar, and I find with that setup, I can only play like Jerry, I find it very limiting and it actually stifles creativity, and to copy an innovator is like xeroxing the Mona Lisa, but I always have a Dead band ready to go when the mood strikes. Sure, I love to do it and it’s fun, but the Real Music I make comes from inside and is my own conglomeration of all my influences. The Grateful Dead only happened when they were onstage playing together, it wasn’t a formula, it was their musical sensibilities that created a sound, If you have people who can listen and play, you can play this music with anyone, it won’t sound like the tape playing in your head, but it furthers the genre. Anyhow, hey, I am in NJ and would love to jam sometime. Love your channel.

  Completely understand and respect your point of view. It takes all kinds I suppose, from those who had a sticker that said, “ I’ll be grateful when they are dead” to the spinners who figured Garcia was some kind of quasi deity! For me I started listening to them again after a 20 year break. I was listening to a Russian Lullaby from 75’ yesterday (with Nicky Hopkins). Then I listened to Ella Fitzgerald sing it. It was moving to be sure. Irving Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald, Jerry Garcia. Some of the best the 20th century had to offer. It was a heckuva boat to be sure and I am so glad I got to ride in it tragedy and all…..

  I was very moved by GD and Jerry in the 80's but I was also a person that NEVER wanted to get caught in one boat - being surrounded by such vibrant music other than GD and Garcia. The inspiration of the GD was an invitation to adventure in life, music and exploration - never to be a follower of a long gone era, single individual or band. I was never "rudderless" - I was surrounded by too many incredible authors, musicians and experimenters. All of the cover bands (including Dead and Co) have probably missed the point of origin and the spirit of celebratory failure. They provide some folk tradition of passing on the songs of the GD and the songs they covered - but for me its just too limiting. Most deadheads struck me as "greedy", singular (vs decentralized) and too comfortable and dependent on a band of men. For me the story of JG is a deeply sad and tragic one and with all of the mythos - it was a culture that he himself could not extricate himself from in the end.

  I was thinking about the stones playing Vegas today and the 900 tickets and the dead $ company grift and about Jerry. I think about him every day probably because I listen to him every day, anyway I put on candy man from radio city, I was 16 and was in line for 5 days outside radio city, which was as much fun as the shows. Anyway I’m learning the song and watching Garcia too hi to play as good as he could, or even close to as good as he could. And thought to myself seeing the dead from 79 to 95 was hit and miss. Miss a whole lot more than I have admitted. Saw some great shows, but the first 15 were the time to catch him. A lot of the shows on KZread are way too sad to watch. Or hear especially 95.

• 
  @jimpowell67892 ай бұрын

  79 to 95 is a huge lump to generalize about. There are a dozen great shows in any given year and hundreds over all, and their level of play through 91 was remarkably and consistently high. The myth of the wasted burnt out Jerry of the 80s is disproven by thousands of hours of recordings. And there was then, nor in the years before , no band anywhere that could do what they did 60-80 nights a year, playing a shifting, evolving, accumulating, reviving rotation of over 100 songs in any given year. Virtually all of them are available for listening here and elsewhere on the internet. Check it out for yourself. Jerry lives.

  @@jerryakbar6147 I don't think it's my business to judge Jerry's private life. I feel for him, plenty, but I don' presume to know the balances of his heart. I find plenty of delight in his music from all periods. Even in 95, when most of his chops were gone, he could still put the notes in the right place to lift my heart, or break it -- Jerry Band shows at the Warfield, where he cared. To my ears 88-90 and trailing off into 91, was one of the Dead's peak eras. Every show can't be top ten, of course, but then, and in any given year ... Jerry is not the only great artist who got involved with the poppy. Coleridge, Cocteau, Parker, Billie ... What matters is their work. Judge not lest ye be judged.

  I can understand why this show was soo so special before the internet, and streaming music. I was born in 2002. With discovering the Dead decades after Jerry passed, I don’t really have any nostalgia to go off of. I always felt the setlist from this show was lackluster. But then again, If I didn’t have Spotify, or access to the Internet Archive, I would have cherished any tape I got. I appreciate these videos. It gives us deadheads, who never experienced the Dead first hand, a better understanding. Also im not trying to upset anyone here, I still love this show, but I’m partial to 05/21/77. Again, I can only frame this into the context of, streaming literally any Dead show I want at any time of day.

  @crazylegscabs56592 ай бұрын

  Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I'm going to push back a little on the lackluster set list thing tho. One of the main things I'm trying to accomplish with this channel is to provide context as best I can. Weather it's the gear, or the jams, I really feel like putting things into context is key to having a better understanding of The Grateful Dead. Dew was a rarity in May '77 and it was a crowd fav going all the way back to the early days of the band. They had played that one two punch of St. Steven>NFA back in Feb of '77 in Santa Barbara (as well as a few other times). There was a Dew in that set too, it's curious to me that the Santa Barbara set (2/27/77)isn't talked about more, but as a complete show it's only available via audience recordings. Dave's Picks 29 is the night before with "bonus tracks" from the little snippet of Betty Boards that exist of the tail end of the second set of 2/7/77. My guess is had there been sbd's of that night in circulation, that would have been one of the all timer's in terms of legendary dead shows. Why am I going on about 2/27/77, good question! I'm trying to make the point that sure, the set list wasn't a one time only thing. They had trotted out a bunch of those war horse songs on other occosans, but for some reason on that Sunday night in May '77, it all clicked together in a very fine way. The band had developed these big combo and some got played more than others. The St Steven>NFA, Scarlet>Fire, eventually Estimated>Eyes, He's Gone>Truckin' you get the idea. That kind of stuff got more ubiquitous as time went on, but in Spring '77 some of that early hitching up of songs was just beginning to take hold. That's what makes the second set of 5/8/77 special, there was rare stuff along with two song combos both of which had MEGA jams in them. And the Dancin' from the first set can't be overlooked. All stand out performances. And it snowed. Thanks for watching!
