Brad, the more you listen to the Grateful Dead the more you will realize that it is six, or however many there are at the time, musicians, each doing their own thing, but with a unifying central theme that moves the whole composition along. This happens almost every song, and it is what makes the Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead. As Promoter Bill Graham once said, "They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do."

that one and the "licorice" quote are favorites: "the grateful dead is like black licorice: not a lot of people like black licorice, but the ones who do, REALLY like black licorice."

One of my favorite Dead tunes. This is the era from which I was introduced to the Grateful Dead. I’m so appreciative that I was able to catch them live, now so many years later I but wish to relive just one of those nights with the band.

When I listen to the Dead, which is just about every single day, I always think about how lucky I was to see them so many times with Jerry and Brent, etc. Wish I could've seen 'em with Pigpen and/or Keith, but they were a little before my time!

the tune was written at the time for Cassidy Law, who was born to Eileen Law in 1970 - Eileen is one of Weir's oldest friends - my 2nd child's name is: Cassidy -

My buddy has a child named Cassidy because of this song, too. It's true: we are everywhere!

It's about Cassidy's daughter and also Neal Cassidy

@krypticalenvelopment 4 ай бұрын

Eileen ran in the same crowd as Weir (Barlow) and they were all of course friends with Cassady - Eileen named her daughter in tribute to Neal, and Weir (Barlow) in turn wrote the song for Eileen - ask Weir - it's the story he's always told about his favorite song

@@krypticalenvelopment well, first, John Perry Barlow wrote the lyrics, not Bob. But also, they specifically mention Neal driving in his Cadillac and how he's going to be rolling back. It's for both people. He said it was to introduce the girl to her namesake.

@townsendeldorado Ай бұрын

Yes Barlow wrote that it was a circle of life idea, Cassidy Law born right around the time Neal Cassady died. He said it could have been spelled either way.

The Grateful Dead did take people on a fantastical magical journey. I'm glad to have been able to go and see them with Jerry. And the concert parking lot scene was even more amazing.

@Soundhypno 5 ай бұрын

This song is inspired by Neal Cassidy, who drove the bus Further with the Merry Pranksters across America in the 60s. Cassidy was also friends with Jack Kerouac and was written about in his book "On The Road", This put him as a seminal figure in both the Beat and Hippie movements. Bob Weir, the writer and singer of this song and Neal were roommates for awhile during the Acid Tests. Another excellent layerd tune is this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7-prLWrlczOfGw.html&ab_channel=GratefulDead-Topic

@edm781 Ай бұрын

Yes, as noted, it's also about the birth of Cassidy Law right around when Neal passed away, cycles of life, "There he goes, and now here she starts, hear her cry."

@jaquestraw1 6 ай бұрын

Good choice Brad, really good version 👍

@shortstuff7959 6 ай бұрын

The song is a comparison of Kesey's Beat Generation associate Neal Cassady - the inspiration for Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's On the Road, who drove the bus they called Further and Barlows new born baby girl.

@@thesecretjewishspacelaser9959 Exceptional version. One of the very best Dark Stars is 6/24/70 from the same Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY as 2/18/71. There's a fantastic (especially for 1970) audience recording on the archive. In the 6/24/70 electric set, Dark Star is broken up in three parts. Everything in this sequence is absolutely amazing: Not Fade Away-> Easy Wind, Me & My Uncle, Dark Star-> Attics Of My Life-> Dark Star-> Sugar Magnolia-> Dark Star-> Saint Stephen-> China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Uncle John's Band -- Encore: Swing Low Sweet Chariot (acoustic with members of NRPS). EDIT: In the "meltdown" sequence of Dark Star, you can actually hear some dude right next to the taper saying, "Oh my GOD!" It's hilarious....and quite understandable, too. Just a _ridiculous_ show.

My understanding is Bobby wrote part of it maybe the rhythm track to a woman’s labor contractions…please confirm someone I am old and could be confused

@edm781 5 ай бұрын

@@neurodiversityininsurance He wrote it as Eileen Law was having her baby daughter Cassidy at his home. The rhythm had nothing to do with her labor as far as I have read. I think you're mixing it up with the story of Mickey Hart basing the rythm of Greatest Story Ever Told on the sound of his well pump.
