Love this tune so much. I will always remember when the audience would hear the chords and we’d kind of make a happy sigh...all’s right with the world.

Of all the songs in the Dead's canon, this song somehow warms my heart the most. I think it was intentionally written as an anthem and it always makes me feel better. I remember hearing it for the first time in August 1970 on the first album that the Dead worked hard on their vocals. It showed, we loved it, and 42 years later, it is still being sung and still warming hearts. Long live the Grateful Dead!

No matter how much time has passed, or how much older I get...the waves of joy just flow over me...memories of the shows...the love, the experience...it is sorely missed, but not forgotten

Wow! This version of Uncle John's Band has made me all sweaty. The best ever.

Just got into the Grateful Dead. Wow, what have I been missing out on! Damn what a good band!

Like the morning sun we come and like the wind we go. Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait. Oh Oh what I want to know,.....Where does the time go? Words to truly live by. Never waste a moment on bad feelings if you can manage it because our lifespand is short. Look at Jerry. He only made it to 52 but the amount of joy and happiness he presided over was way beyond his years on the planet.

The song got me through some of my hardest days

It's a meaningful song in so many ways. It was one of the first Dead songs I learned the guitar chords for, so I could play and sing it for my kids and my siblings' kids. One nephew used to ask me, "play your song, Uncle John."

Ke buenos eran, buenísimos ❤❤

Many, many guitarists over the decades can outplay Jerry Garcia... but there has never been a player who could make a guitar sing with the joy & sadness of life like him.

The most beautiful song in the universe!

Thirty years ago this week, just a speck in the eternity of this genius contribution to the world. Our children will be singing for generations!

Like to point out that with twice the number of players, The Dead achieve the same degree of precision as Credence. And yet they are improvising all over the place. Truly one of the great bands.

This takes me back to a much gentler time. I had seen the Dead a number of times before this was recorded and I would see them many more times...Incredible!

Such a simple, profound song that is great in every way. Thanks good ol' Grateful Dead. Love Brent's harmonies, and Jerry is magic. I want to remember that good place they go to, and take it with me wherever I go.

Wired or not, stone or stone, this a great tune and a great, band for the r.r. history, it's great to be old, what a tune, who cares who? don't like the Death, anyone with their times and generations, for 30 years for me to hear this one feels goooooddddd!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at this show and a couple more that week. If I remember correctly, they played about a week at Radio City. Just about every night.

My favorite Dead song, since the first time I heard it. It's the spirit of the song and the togetherness it evokes.

This was Jerry Garcia in his prime. Truly a magician!

This is one of the finest examples of UJB that I have ever heard but definitely the best version that I have ever seen on video. Incredible!!!! Thank you Jerry much.

This is one of the most beautiful melodies in the history of popular music!

it was a great time to grow up - so much good music - things were much more laid back then- i miss those days

like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go, wow...

after having a long wk and a tough one its always good to listen to the dead. these guys always get me in a postive mood and I just love there rythem on there song miss ya Jerry and miss the dead a big fdan from NJ.....one of my top #3 songs of all-time...

Takes me right back. I love this band.

I am so glad there is still music like this out here. Thank you Family Dog Band for picking uo the torch when it was handed to you. It's wonderful to hear the spirit in a band again after endureing the years of sloppy tribute bands.

Great song! Helped me out many times im my life lisening to this.

When I was a kid in the 60's, I heard a few of their songs on the radio and thought, "big deal". Then I went to a show. I' was hooked ever since. I'll lay even odds that most of the people that say "so what" about this band have heard a song like this on the radio and thought the same thing I did originally, but never had the chance to see them play... just like this. Granted, I saw some less-than-stellar shows, but most of the time, that wasn't the case, and on the nights they were on, bingo!

Sweet and simple....just as I remembered it.

Was at this show!!! Wish I remembered more of it....

Where does the time go...The dead were so good in the 80's, Glad I got the privelage of seeing them back then. A somewhat kinder world back then.

Dear Checkersq, Here here, i concur with you completely. The Dead rock, sadly i only got to see them live once,on their last European Tour,utterly awesome.....

Jerry vive ❤️ !!! Ogni giorno

I read his comment two weeks ago and decided to put this song on too while my son was being born : ) Thanks

i've been listening to some dead on my mp3 lately when i walk and "Wow, just ghostly!" I love it more now than ever. it gets better each time i hear a note these gentlemen play.

great band and song

this is my favorite and thankyou for posting, love it!

im 34, got to see Jerry @ 10 times...just got in on the tail end of a great era...nothing was like, nor ever will be. The Soldier Field shows in Chicago....man...what a time in music. peace out bro.

The Music Never Stops. Therefore the Dead music will always fill the air...

your lucky if you were there, its a dream to me, the gd are one of a kind

Outstanding!I'll watch this many many times...thanks for the memories!

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for updating and posting!

Is there any other single phenomenon in the history of mankind that is any sweeter than life with the Grateful Dead? Whether in 1966 or 2009, this music has been known to save lives and restore lost souls. All I want to know is, "Are you kind?

great version. ty for posting it.

the dead is amazing and this kind of music will be around forever i mean im 20 and me and my band play mostly all gretaful dead music and all of our music is just our version of classic rock but as long as humans can hear the dead will live on

Stellar version of a classic tune. I saw my first show exactly two months later. Brings back some nice memories. Thanks!

It is simply awesome, and Jerry now so long gone, God we must appreciate what was once ours; I am over dome once they get into that free range and began to play.

I was looking for this version, only I was searching for it with an Anchorage tag, Thanks for posting this, what an awesome version!!!!

FABULOUS FOOTAGE,MANY THANKS.

this is a classic song its one of my top 5 dead songs RIP JERRY I listen to this song once a month thx for posting a big fan from NJ....

beautyfull my favorite Dead song ever alway gives me the chills......will u come with me? like dgmisal1979 said God I wish...

Ringing in the new Year's with this song...great, beautiful sound.

Man I got this track from archive a few months ago.. glad to find the actual vid! Thanks bro!

i can paly this on my guitar and banjo. grateful dead are the best band.

Thank you for posting - for sure one of the best dead videos I have seen on here....

Wharf Rat: I just love it when people your age have an understanding for what the band meant to people of all stripes, and I do feel bad you couldn't have had the experience first-hand. But the music will never die, and there is still ample opportu nity for you to enjoy this legendary band. There are also some darn good up and coming rock acts that may give you an oportunity to enjoy a similar experience. All the best, from a 53 year old dinosaur".

one of my fav dead songs all-time i love the live version a big fan of the dead from NJ....

i only saw them six times , but i hand apinted the dead logo on the top of a hard hat / ( workingmans dead album from which this song came from and gave it to jerry personally ( this is when pigpen was still \alive ...jerry wore it the whole concert and we were given back stage passes ..it was great

The world's finest and in the world's finest music venue go get 'em Jer

all ways a favorite!!

Love this song! Fabulous!

If you dig the dead, my brother, you are a real deadhead.....It's a lucky thing we have so much of thier music recorded on some format.....you can probably find every show if you want to...

thats awesome..im almost 15 and i love them! They're great!

Yes those were the days. What a great song to have when I grew up. Great Video to who ever uploaded it..

I think this is my favorite Dead song.

great song from the dead one of my top 5 songs from them and a nice relaxing song thxs for posting mk

Amazing version, amazing jam in the 2nd half... don't stop the music...

Robert Hunter is one of the greatest lyricists around. I love that the good ol' GD included him as part of the band when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

amazing! thanks for posting!

If you think I stand alone on this, you haven't been a fan for very long. I first saw this band at age 18 at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in August 1969, I was 10 feet from Pigpen at my next show. The Dead have been the "score" for my entire adult life. There are thousands of us ol' timers out there. There has never been a band like this, and if music is medicine that keeps our souls alive, I stand by my "perspective." If you have a better answer to my question, I am all ears.

r u kidding the first time was 4 days ago lol . all songs the dead have are amazing.sorryu missed out all these years.

Well the first days are the hardest days, don't cha worry any more. God bless the Grateful Dead! Pass the pipe, please.....

Yes they were the days--What a Great song and footage..

Fantastic!

@waveman1981 - So awesome! Beautiful!!

Thats cool i was 3 yrs old when this concert took place

Glad you made it ...

I wish I could have seen The Greateful Dead with Jerry. I'm 19, and I love them with all my heart. Their studio albums don't even give a close justification of their talent and beauty they express in their music. glad you appreciate their tunes too =]

been to one in '72. Wish they'd come where I'm now.

best dead song! wish i was older and could have seen them live =P

Unmistakable sound, there will never be another band like the Dead.

Bob Weir is one of the best rythm guitarists around... and Jerry... well we all miss him, not many people could take a song and sing t like he did...

Happy Birthday Jerry!!!

I remember these Radio City Shows like they were yesterday- - The city rocked all week LONGlIVETHEGD terripin-

went to this show, rip steve and jimmy

i needed that

So sick! thanks for posting. nothin better than some live dead. Never got to see jerry. Caught the dead tour this summer though. R.I.P. Such great music. Thanks for everything

SOME CLASSIC SHOTS OF JERRY AS WELL AS SOME CLASSIC PLAYING FROM JERRY.RADIO CITY WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST PLACES THAT I EVER SAW THE DEAD PLAY IN,WITH THE BALCONIES AND THE CEILING (WHICH ON THESE NIGHTS WAS VERY,VERY PSYCHEDELIC) AND CASEY JONES ENCORE AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING THEN WALKING THE STREETS OF N.Y.C THEY ARE SOME MEMORIES THAT YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON, BUT I REALLY REALLY MISS THEM.

Luv jerry rippin it

I am sooooooo glad to find this :))))

Jerry himself admitted that there were times the GD weren’t at their best. However he also said this became less and less the case as they refined their craft over time and that when the ‘authentic inspiration’ flowed among the players, a certain magic also happened. ‘Ain’t that the truth! What a wonderful synergy of organised noise.

31 years ago,,,where does the time go........

Lo maximo, siempre Gratefull Dead.

This was the beginning of the Brent Mydland era. The next 10 years would prove how valuable a member he was. The band just went through the motions after he died.

A SUPER GOOD TIME IN THE CITY. YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THESE GUYs FOR A GREAT SHOW.

Great show and a better song!

1942-1995 Like the morning son you come and like the wind you go! My god I"m still grieving

one of the finest lead in's to any song....

Man, this is some tight harmony vocals on stellar production quality sound, like you can imaging Jerry, Bob and Brent in a quiet room somewhere working this over, planning it as the show finale, knowing they had magic they were working with. Like a special moment in, I don't know? where does the Time go? Bravo on this posting!
