This song pertains to a man begging ppl for money because he's addicted to gambling. So he rigs a game and warns his lady not to get drunk cause they gotta wake up early and leave town before they realize he rigged the card game. Thank you Jerry.

77 was a great year for Jerry

The solo makes me feel like I'm an native american running straight at the grand canyon and when I dive head first over the edge, I feel like I transform into a bald eagle and fly away

This version of this song moves me. What a great story brought back to life by the GD. There are a lot of spirited songs they brought back to life. I swear the folks who originally created them move thru Jerry and the boys and become magic once again.

I want this played at my funeral

There will never be another Jerry.

Billy Boy is definitely the most underrated drummer 🤷🏼‍♂️

This song is sad but it makes me happy. The story of the "Loser" in the song personally makes me feel like i'm a winner because the "Loser" is always determined that they're going to win!

Never gets old

Love the videos of that Spring 77 run. If we only had one more... I love this!

Jerry wrings out all the tears, angst and pain of the gambler in every grand solo I've ever heard. Loser has always been a favorite, especially the play on the inside straight. A hand that never wins. Put your gold money where your love is baby before you let my deal go down. Come to daddy on the inside straight. Well I got no chance of losing this time.

This song represents my life

A passionate deadhead and dear friend has made many concert CDs available to me and this is one of the Epic shows

73,77 & 79 are my favorite yrs in the 70's.

Thank God and thank YOU for taping these and sharing them! I’m in my seventies and am so happy for hearing and watching these early Dead shows before I die ❤️😎 especially Loser which I never heard at all before now! What an inspired song. I like all the comments here too from good people 😊😊😊 An amazing absolutely amazing song, and I dig how Jerry sings and plays it, like everything he did-RIP , angel ✨💫🌉🥰🌬🌊

This is a great Loser. Thanks for sharing 😊

Jerry pulled that solo straight out of his soul

Pure love to the Deadheads!

As a recovering compulsive gambler I so relate to the song

Phil was totally killing it on bass in this one

Glad to see this back on KZfaq! One of my favorite versions of this incredible tune

Thank you for posting this! I love this era of the Dead, and I woke up with this song in my head today.

Bravo!!!

a band beyond description

"Bring the band down on behind me, boys." -FZ Love the way Jerry "conducts" the group dynamics in the second or third verse. Takes it softer and quieter, and the band follows. Setting up for the next run to the top. It was fun to watch.

This is insane.

Jerry Garcia forever.

so many goosebumps

One of the VERY RARE occasions where Phil loses his place (second half of the second time through the guitar solo). Good golly, he really IS human! :-)

Winner

not enough visits but yes!! grateful still

And Jerry sticks the landing... 👏👏👏👏🖐️

7/7/89 Jerry's solo.. looking over his right, smiling, than swinging to his left, locking eyes with Brent. They stare into space, Jerry smiles and produces easily one of his greatest solos of all time and questionably the best Loser ever. 7/7/89

needed this one today....

Fantastic

I wish 5 8 77 was real. The album is flawless. I listen to it every single time I go steelhead fishin. Which is 7 days a week weather permitting from oct till may.

Birthday show fuck yeah

Bill is the biggest Deadhead of all time!

aaaaah The Pre Unstrung Out Daisy Duke not a grey hair on Jerry or Bobs head or beard before the bug eyed Bret era… gotta love it . Hell even Mickeys sportin a kewl mane of hair .

whoa, I didn't know Bill Murry was the drummer for the dead before his acting carreer.

Excellence

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😇😇😇 Jerry is a around us! Wish we could hit a button to go back and relive it again!

BAHAMADON this is completely!! Within the realm of possibility...

Bom demais. Staggering!

Thumbs down huh? Thanks for listening yo!

Keith & Donna

Garcia would be appalled by the price for tickets in Vagas sphere

Jerry Garcia comin right tbrough lol... ..

Seriously an add before the bone chilling solo … brah I’ve seen so much life with the Grateful Dead by my side in the parking lots in the forest so man roads !! Btw Donna dead wtf 🤬 just cause she banging some the guys Meatball Mafia

Don’t misunderstand me… Been a deadhead for 45 years, but something’s not quite right here. 1977 was a good year (some legendary shows that spring). But this video and another one I saw from Wolfgang (Winterland, New Year’s Eve)… Jerry sounds horrible… I mean, like the mid-80’s onward. Are you sure this is from ‘77? Jerry’s voice wasn’t gone yet… but in THESE videos, it sure is. Also, the beginning of his solos… I know how they sound… era-by-era… this really sounds more like late 80’s, early 90’s… and somehow superimposed over the video. (?)

Charity always cries to the equal balance (I pissed away so much money on tobacco and still hasn't killed me , just another monkey doing the rag )

Jerry=Angel Visitation sent to us for awhile 🌉✨💫💕gracias😊
