"From one of the Grateful Dead's first home videos, Downhill From Here, this version of Uncle John's Band is a complete scorcher, start-to-end. The opening track from Workingman's Dead was played more than 330 times by the Dead, and this is one of the best." - David Lemieux

First off so sorry for your loss. Pop and I have a relationship like that too, it’s so special. I desperately want my pop to go back to citi field with me this year. We’ve been going for two decades to shows together, but he just refuses to go back to the venue and it’s the only one they’re hitting close to us.

I miss him so much but being able to listen to the music reminds me of the man he was. I’ll always listen and Tim, you will never be forgotten.

I just miss him a lot and wish the cards were dealt differently. My brother died traumatically and three weeks later my husband was dead at age 30. I had another significant loss soon after and I really lost my way for quite awhile. Gosh, sorry for my damn life story! I never talk about all that so it kind of floods out…sorry. I’m not at all intuitive and I’ve had no experience with anything regarding the afterlife. I believe some people do though and I envy that.

I remember the huge crowds mooing as they entered and left the grounds, the people walking past you saying "doses" or "shrooms", the smells of patchouli oil and good indica and sativa, the sounds you didn't think possible the band belted out, the look up in the sky for the mothership, the nitrous tanks kicked under the bus in a second as the police walked by, the rain and mud, the search for the car that took an hour, the trip up in anticipation of what was to come and trip back thinking "that was the most unbelievable thing I ever saw, will I ever have another three days like this?" Been listening ever since....

Justin Hyers my dad remembers starting the mooing. Him and his friends were sick of being herded like cattle through the lines and started mooing like cattle in mock protest. First it was five, then it was twenty, then forty, then to many to count. He calls that his fifteen minutes of fame.

Many people lament the passing of Pigpen and the Dead of those early days. But as someone who attended 30 Dead concerts prior to 1970 (and loved them all), the Dead with Brent Midland is the Dead at their very best.

@jimgreene3914 4 жыл бұрын

Never saw jer, but love the boys to death. I have tried to listen. To every show available, many more times than I can count. So I have to ask, how was Jerry smacked out and sounding like he might croak on stage in a good part of the 80s better than the raw madness of the 60s the refined psychedelica of the early 70s the tight ripping solos of 76 77? 80 was an awesome year, late 89/90 was impressive, and sporadically they had a great show in those other years, but really dude? Name me one sloppy show they played from 72 to 74.

Brent was so perfect for the Dead. His playing, style and sweet voice helped to propel the band while he was with them. His loss was felt for years within the band. Jeff Chimenti has done an excellent job using Brent’s own Hammond B-3 and now has to be the longest tenured keyboard player, in any form, that the band has ever had. He seems to be the glue that really holds the band together, even more so than the original members especially in performance! His ear is exceptional! I can’t say enough

When I’m trying to share my love for the dead with my friends I share with them the studio version of this song, and then this particular version of the song to show how the song breathes new life with a live performance. I’ve listened to hundreds of their concerts and I’ve never heard a better solo. Playful, sincere, and innovative. You hear it and exudes the theme of the song; kindness!

What a tight version this is! I never got into parsing which live performance was better than the other but now I have the benefit of listening to all the great recordings via KZfaq I'm beginning to understand why many folks get into that sort of thing. Dead songs and covers are just such classic American music. I consider them the greatest American band (period). They brought so many genres to their audience. I feel so fortunate to have access to so many of their performances now.

Saw the Dead in 1970 at Chicago Auditorium Theater. Worth every penny. More than a concert is was a 'happening'!

I haven't heard this version in a long time and it occurs to me this was one of the first Dead tapes I ever got when I first started listening to them as a teenager. Listening to this now, I am bowled over by the very busy cowbell and snare work that makes this version have that same fiery drumming sound of late '60s dead. I think in the '80s and '90s when they could occasionally conjure up that old sound they had when they were young and full of Fire, and then bring it into the more wise and musically sophisticated approach they had towards the end, that was when they just really sounded the best ever, and this version is definitely in that pocket

The first CDs I purchased were in 2000 in a store in Foley Alabama near the gulf of Mexico. Mad at myself for not realizing how much I would've loved their music. Would've been a Deadhead back then, but am now 🎸☮️ peace 😎
