My favorite Comes a Time of all time. Every aspect is superb from Donna's harmonies, Bobby's harmonics and crazy chord voice leadings, Keith, Phil, drums and that end jam wow. It develops into a life of it's own with Jerry pouring emotion. Thanks for posting this version up

whoever you are and wherever this comment finds you, no matter what may be happening in your life right now, know you are LOVED dear stranger

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

I miss all of you. Late 80s to 95 you were my only family

This and Mission In The Rain from the same album are Jerry in his perfect space. He loved and lived the most painful ballads. You can't sing them if you can't feel them. The day may come when you can feel it all.

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand Says "don't you see?" Gotta make it somehow On the dreams you still believe Don't give it up You got an empty cup Only love can fill Only love can fill Been walking all morning Went walking all night I can't see much difference Between the dark and light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind To cause so much pain From day to day Just letting it ride You get so far away From how it feels inside You can't let go 'Cause you're afraid to fall But the day may come When you can't feel at al

I think this song is appropriate for every single person on earth. There comes a time for everyone to make changes. No matter the switch. We all hate change, but must do what's necessary, and adapt to constantly changing times....

literally the greatest guitar solo of all time... Im responsible for at least 12,000 of these viewings.

I was never a fan of GD music because I never really listened to it intensely. As a former background singer with Melvin Seals & JGB I am determined to learn all the GD songs that I can. I am now officially a deadhead! First time I listened to this GD song and many more this past weekend. I’m hooked! Line and Sinker ❤

Miss Jerry forever! ❤💔❤ So much raw emotion. No one can ever elicit emotions both vocally and with the guitar. Don’t miss the notes in between. This is one of the sweetest versions I’ve ever heard. Tears flowing every time. This song has gotten all of us through some very tough times. ✌️💚

bring me tears, jerry plays guitar like no other. miss u aldi

One thing alot of people dont understand about jerry garcia, or the grateful dead for that matter is the raw emotion and true power behind every riff, note, word and melody. that bob, and jerry and phil and mickey wanted to portray when they played their music. when you listen to the music, dont just hear the words, or the solos, hear the pain, heartache and happiness behind every aspect. and it will set you free.

Satan loves you KZfaq, for putting commercials in the middle of this masterpiece! I mean have you no love and light in your souls’ at all?

One of the all time most powerful pieces of music ever performed. Love this

The spring of '77 and my buddy's buddy says "Ride with me to Chicago to see a Grateful Dead Show" That "OK" changed my life. Thanks.

Sitting here in limbo, with tears listing to COMES A TIME. The beauty and magical voice of JERRY, will bring a smile like no other to my face, with tears. I love and will forever miss that beautiful soul

Possibly the best Comes a Time Ever!! Jerry's singing and playing are just so emotional and soulful. It almost brings you totears.

It doesn't get any better than this amen

This song has always made me cry my eyes out......THANKS JERRY!

Another time. Another world. These waves from the past reach out to us who were born to be free. To be different. To be the true souls we are

This is much like a stairway song. Takes you from the bottom and slowly lifts you away to that better place that you need to be. Thank you .

I needed this song, this version, at this exact moment.

When you really need a mellow moment in life.... This one fits the bill.

glad to hear Donna's sweet harmony without yelling!

And all these years that I have known that 1977 was my best, favorite year, it took me until now (whenever that is) to realize that 77 was my favorite year partially because the Dead were rockin' it as well. Celebrating 50 years (Springfield, Massachusetts 1973) and still rockin' an' rollin' in what's left of the free world. No regrets, souvenirs? ticket stubs and a few sun rotted t-shirts, photographs? None that I took myself but a huge multiverse full of awesome memories. All the things I planned to do I only did halfway, most of what I used to remember pushed out of my ears- there is room in my head for nothing but song lyrics- many sung by the Dead. Love, respect, peace and happiness to all- the more that you can gather is just more that you can lose- thanks for the memories- my heart (broken) is warm🕊️🎼🙏🕉️🙏🃏🎵🗝️🌬️🌀⚡⚡🎶🛠️🍁🍃🍂🦂💫🏴‍☠️🙏🕉️🙏®️

So much emotion from jerry in this. I can't tell you how much this one song has gotten me through. Getting sober from h then relapse and sober again and I always come back here when I need the feels. Thanks man

Chase, I listen to this song all the time. My mom died this March 23rd out of the blue. My dad on April 23rd out of the blue. Fuck, I lost them both. I love and miss them a lot...They're gone and nothing's gonna bring 'em back...But memories. Comes a time when it's up for all of us peace, Chase.

Jerry and Donna sound really good together in this.

My god that solo brings me to tears sometimes ....so much emotion flowing through

I’m dying in a funk of my losing my way. I’ll never find it again. I’m lost in the universe but I can hear the beautiful music

What a guitar solo! Dear god

BEST ever version of this song.

jerry's solo in this particular version is one for the ages.... This song is just one of the most beautiful pieces of music to grace my ears. Thank you Jerry, Phil, Bob, Mickey, Billy, Keith and Donna.

Don't give it up You got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill

Living in Buffalo this and the Bertha are on constant rotation through the city. I want to manifest all the energy.

Rest in peace, Mr. Garcia. Listening to this, one of my favorite pieces of music of any band, on what would be the man's 78th. He's smiling down on all of us

Reflections. Absolutely amazing rendition. I love this band. God bless to all Yall. Keep listening & hang in there.

jesus christ this song gets better every thousand times i hear it..

Possibly, the greatest 11 mins of live music ever played. I’ve been listening to the Dead since ‘84. Seen a lot of shows, Dead and others. Back in the day, I had over 750 tapes. I’m not saying this is my absolute favorite moment in Grateful Dead history, but, I think it’s their perfect moment. Jerry’s first, short and very simple solo, after the 2nd verse, is absolutely perfect! Not mind bending, just Jer and Keith, playing the simplest stuff ever, but perfectly. The final note, floating up and away into a beautiful silence as Jerry sings “day to day...”. Not exactly Coltrane’s Giant Steps, but just right, to my ears, at least. The ending jam is not something I can explain in words. All I can say is, it’s original, simple, unlike anything anybody else would play, and absolutely Perfect! Grateful Dead-Goddamn, do I Declare!!!

Jerry is opened to the spheres on this one. Wow. This is what musical genius sounds like.

Rest in Peace, Andy Howard. I will see you again some sweet day.

This version is spectacular!

Grateful The Dead were introduced to me! Nothing has ever touched my heart so purely and perfectly.....Don't give it up, you've got an empty cup that only love can fill...

We all love eachother as hippies grew up together ! ❤️🐰🐇🌹⚡️☠️💀💥🕊️🪽😇😍🥰😘🔥🥲😢😔so sad without Jerry !

Just amazing. Opens my troubled mind. I’m not a fit for this new generation. I wanna go back. God knows how bad I wanna go back

I just saw Furthur perform this song on Sunday at the Greek. I've never seen so many people crying all at once. I don't remember crying that hard since my brother died. What a beautiful song.

This makes me cry

The great cellist, Yo Yo Ma, once noted that the difference between a good musician and a great one is the space between the notes. Listen to Jerry's solo for the best demonstration of that. He makes it sound effortless. That's what the best do: make it look easy. I just discovered this recording. It's wonderful. Thanks to whoever posted it!

keith was such a great player

1977 was one of their best years.

The planets were certainly aligned on this night!

Miss you K. This one gets me every time.

I love Jerry since the 1 st time we saw eachother ! There were sparks ⚡️ flying between us so we couldn’t even hug until later !

Jerry, sometimes you just channeled it exactly perfect.

Thank you Grateful Dead, fuckin love you guys. Don't give it up, ya got an empty cup ONLY LOVE can fill. May it be again.. ❤️⚡️💙

"When the words come out Like an angry stream You hear yourself say Things you could never mean When the heat cools down And you find your mind You got a lot of words You've got to stand behind"

Music is the universal power of love and life. They can never suppress it

Kind of a forgotten Dead tune. What a band! 😊

I can't believe it's been all these years.... I don't listen much anymore.... I can't explain it.... I hung out with Bobby while at The Ohio State University in The Hyatt at Capital Square night before Buckeye Lake '93..... Jack Straw Foolish Heart Bobby had some nuggs and He Twisted We Shouted! Still Dead After All These Years!!!

Thank u so very much for this ! 🩷🐰🐇🌹😍😘🥰💀☠️⚡️💥🔥💧💦🫧I live on the ocean so this is like home to me ! ❤❤

My first Grateful Dead show and since then we have all had The Day's Between !

This is just so beautiful done ! Wow I’m in a trance ! ❤️🐰🐇🌹☠️💀⚡️🪽🕊️😢🥲😔😘🥰😍👽🪐🛸🚀☄️💥🔥

My all time favorite Grateful Dead mellow jam tune, which I cry too every single time thinking about my Dad's death

The beauty of the dead... going to see horrible shows just to catch that one show, that one moment when we all converged into love. Thanks for the experience

The wisdom in this song is more profound than anything found in the Bible

Jerry's guided tour through hell ending in heaven !

LOVE IT. I was at that concert. 14 years old. 1st of many shows Ive gone to in my lifetime

This was my 2nd Dead show and it will always be etched in my mind.

So sad that the remaining members took all the music down on the internet to cash in. Jerry would be pissed. But now he’s playing and singing into his next adventure. I hope I meet him again on that sure plane

I was not much of a Dead Head but saw them once - iirc at the Filmore in SF~1972 - was stoned and got fixated on the Drummer drumming, what a show!

Thanks

this song will be forgotten like the the dead sea scrolls, like the libraries of alexandria. this song like so many are not commercial nobody gives a damn, but too us it saves us it they are us. peace to us

I'm sad when I hear this because I met Jerry backstage in Santa Barbara in 1978, and now he's gone...only memories and music now

I forgot this song existed 🤦🏻‍♂️Holy G-d did I ever need to hear this right now .

They're a band beyond description Like Jehovah's favorite choir 🎵

If Chase had a dollar for every time I've watched this...

still as good as it gets!!!!!!

Even Tough Guys CRY!! Grateful Dead!

I just lost a friend and we all just lost Robert Hunter. I needed to listen to this. Thanks for posting. Simply beautiful.

It's tunes like these that Jerry brings a tear or tremble to my face... only love can fill...

Gotta be one of the prettiest songs I’ve ever heard.

Hauntingly beautiful 💜✌🏾

I put the headphones on this morning and thought, " oh. this must be either a studio version I've never heard, where they did some arrangement variations - or." then I hear jerry's voice, and I'm thinking, "is this some lost sober period I somehow forgot about?" (Because it's obviously Donna and Keith, but now I'm thinking - "OK, harmonics going on sound more like something Tom Konstantan would do". and half way through song, I can't make heads or tails of how what I'm listening to has been put together. then I discover it's a live recording from a concert? -what? can you imagine the popularity and overall impact of this band on contemporary music had band members been less "free-form" with their personal lives? I mean, I'm no anti drug person. I am 56 and still do my share, but this band - talk about genius. putting something like this together and it just happens to be another night on stage. like so many others. and they pull this off? un-fucking believable.

That repeated verse "only love can fill" is at the core of the tune. Really moving.

The show after the show... That entire year is just stellar. Love!

A highlight of highlights 77 was hot May 77 was incendiary

Grateful for the Jerry shows I was able to attend. Thanks for the share.

What a song, and what a show!

wow. great show. i just downloaded it from archives. one of the best audience recordings i have ever heard.

The transition at the end is an example of the rare genius of this band!

gotta make it somehow all the dreams you still believe- LOVE~LOVE ~LOVE

This is one of the most beautiful things that I've ever heard. It's about the most heartfelt renditions of this song. I can't listen to this around other people because I get too emotional, and interruptions are terrible.

Maybe my favorite year overall! Even Donna is excellent and Jerry is exceptional!

How could not love this song LOVE

Man, I loved the slide show with the jam. Perfect mix of beautiful song and presentation.

Chase, your video is stunningly beautiful, a perfect complement to this lovely, touching song. You make the most magnificent videos.

This show is better than the night before!

Chase, from one intrepid traveler to another, thanks for these wonderufl videos. Oh that which was May 1977, if only I had known.......only caught Englishtown that year. But May, that of St. Paul, Ithaca, Buffalo, Hartford, NYC........omg, omg - simply amazing.

This is such an incredible version of this tune! Man, these guys really played well in Spring '77!

So beautiful
