Don't want to brag but I was at all 5 shows. It was farewell to the wall of sound. On the fifth night, Mikey Hart rejoined the band after leaving in the wake of his father ripping off the band a few years earlier. I think I sat in the front row of the balcony most nights taping these shows on a Nakamichi tape recorder. This was before taping was allowed and we had to smuggle our gear past Winterland security. Still friends with the guys I went to these shows with. What a long strange trip indeed...

Everyone says Jerry died young. He really lived for the time he was here. The most relaxed lead guitar player ever

Man, im 26 and just found the dead feel like Ive been missing out for years. What an incredible thing music can be

We are coming up on 50 years since this performance. What a wild thing to think. And it's still so relevant and impactful to so many. New heads are getting turned on everyday by the sonic tapestry the boys weaved through the decades. What an incredible time to be alive. ❤❤❤❤

There are musicians, and then there is the Good Ol' Grateful Dead.

This may be the greatest example of what the Grateful Dead was all about that I've ever seen in my forty years of being a deadhead. Gives me chills and makes me cry all at the same time.

Grateful Dead helped me battle the COVID days. I would just sit there and listen to them, specially morning dew. I feel like thanks to them those day were bearable.

My husband and I got together during this concert series, so long ago! I had had a hard crush on him for years. Two kids and 48 yrs of bliss later… still sounds fabulous!

This song is so powerful and moving, there is something otherworldly about it. It took me almost 50 years, but I finally "get" the whole "Deadhead" thing now. Better late than never, right?

Bonnie Dobson was my great aunt from Canada she wrote this song as a result of a nightmare she had about nuclear holocaust when she was a teen. Thank you for posting

Still miss Jerry and always will. This was our church, our community. All like minded kind people. What a time what memories.

Smoked DMT, started getting into a bit of a panic, chaotic feelings swelling in my chest. I put this on and all my troubles melted away, just Jerry, Phil, the Boys, and me, in transcendental space for all of time. Every time the Boys would simmer down into near silence, it was like the ultimate tranquility would take hold. You can just tell they were in no rush here, nowhere to be, nowhere to go, nothing was more important than the next note that was to come from their fingertips, and giving the people a beautiful lament that I'm sure everyone in that crowd carry with them to this day. Godspeed to Jerry, Long Live The Dead, and may the universe bless you beautiful Dead Heads!

Almost makes me sad. Time is so precious. Please enjoy it and be kind to one another.

You know that moment when the music washes over you and you feel like you're in a different place. You can feel the stress of the day completely leave your body. It almost brings tears to my eyes.

The world needs more Jerry, and a healthy dose of Fred Rogers. This is a step in the right direction. I approve.

Transformational and the reason we are ALL here. Thank you David for sharing the magic with the kind folks who love it the most. BTW, who the hell disliked this video! Repent!

RIP Jerry. Thanks for everything you shared with us!

It doesn't get any better than this.

wasn't expecting to be crying at my desk, but here we are. absolutely beautiful. thank you

the magic of this performance is their use of dynamics...quiet/build/loud/climax/release...repeat.....genius

The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band to ever walk the face of the Earth...

I just listened to this after being there live 46 years ago with a group of pranksters from my high school one was my girlfriend Lisa who left this earth way to early like Jerry but I was blessed to know and love both of them. My quest for the rest of my days is to learn and play all the songs from this show and reconnect with tears of joy and sorrow.

boy am I glad that I got on the bus. This version is absolutely sublime. Cheers to all the deadheads worldwide.

When the Dead music was what the real fans talk about. Wish everyone could have experienced a Winterland show! Plus Morning Dew always seemed like their true Anthem. So lucky so much has been recorded!

This movie changed my life the first time I saw it. It wasnt long after my little brother passed that I became a die hard deadhead. This song means more to be than I can put into words. Still shocks my soul and brings tears to my eyes of both joy, grief, and awe. Also, if you haven't taken a trip and wtached this ful movie, you're missing out.

Jerry's beard was so epic it had it's own microphone

At 5:50, Phil’s blissful smile and hand gesture after that magnificent bass chord - priceless!

Does anyone else feel like they need this song on repeat right now? It seems even more poignant with all of the covid-19 uncertainty. Just like always, Grateful Dead are here for me when I need them. 🌟

Yeah, for sure in my Top 5 favorite Dew.. Jerrys singing is perfection, the Band completely in sync - Jerry unfurling waves of goodness from his gtar. Miss you Big Man..

My son's favorite song to fall asleep to. He's 10 months old. Just shy of a year,not even a full trip around the sun and he already has a love for Jerrys voice and guitar ❤️

Play this at my funeral service. I’ve listened to this version at least a thousand times. I’ve cried a million tears. I could go on about the interplay of the instruments, the dynamics etc. all core five are all essential in this and just exactly perfect at the right time together here. Jerry generously let’s the entire band finish up at the climax. Mind body soul wrenching no words for this 13 minute journey. Never fails, never will

Jerry's face as Phil is dropping bombs makes me so happy. This song is so beautiful.

This mix is fire. Phil's shaking my whole house rn.

I accidentally became obsessed with the Dead recently. I blame this song, and particularly this performance of this song. The part that starts around 5:37 and particularly right around 5:47 where Jerry looks over at Phil and smiles because he's about to unleash pure magic from his guitar is one of the most delightful facial expressions I've ever seen another human being display. I am just mesmerized by all of these musicians and this song is so damn good. I'm glad they decided to cover this because as awesome as the words and theme are, I didn't much care for the original version.

One of the best versions of the best songs.

So good! I love seeing the audience shots, too. No cell phones, no talking. What it must have been like to see them at Winterland!

I'm not crying, you're crying

Have seen the Dead many times. Their music has stood the test of time

One of the finest pieces of music ever crafted. Miss you, Jerry.

Music and lyrics: Bonnie Dobson Performed by: The Grateful Dead Arrangement: The Holy Spirit

Once I finish my time machine I know where my first destination will be. At this exact moment in time. This is such a moving morning dew. Probably the boys best version they ever played. Phil absolutely drops bombs on this one. Thanks boys for such a moving song. Never heard anything so beautiful as this.

This video was an emotional rollercoaster, definitely one of the best dew sets but probably the best filmed set too...and thanks to David and the dead team for reminding us why we love the dead and why It brings us together.

I’m so lucky to love this band. Billions are missing out.

At 5:50 you can see just how much Phil loves the wall of sound. Nice to see a guy love what he does.

Morning dew is always great but imo this is the freaking definitve live version and most righteously mastered

This is simply the Cornell '77 of Dead videos. The very best.

Phil bomb at 5:50 is magic. Instant shivers.

That's me at 6:04 - 6:08...And Jake Taylor...I was 18. Great 4 days!

This is one of the most moving Morning Dew’s I’ve ever heard. Must’ve listened to this a dozen times in the past few days.

This is the song that finally made me "get" The Dead. Bobby and Jerry together are truly fantastic in the art of weaving their guitar lines. They are all fucking excellent.

The GOAT of American rock bands!

I sent my 5 kids and 5 grandkids all Grateful Dead shirts with no comment attached. They all thanked me and 3 of them said they listened to the dead for the first time and liked the music. Its a start..

Nothing less than mystical and sublime. I could hear this reverberating all the way to my bedroom in suburban New York, age 6 ears and mind wide open, weeping at the beauty-by 1984 i would see my first show in New Haven, Connecticut and was then officially “on the bus!” I miss you Jerry🥲

Mourning the loss today of Terry, who taught me to love The Dead. RIP my best friend, first husband, and volunteer father to my child. You were extraordinary ...

I was there all 5 nights. Magic!

There's just something about Morning Dew... no matter what my train of thought is, as soon as I hear that opening chord I am snapped right out of it and just *present* for the song. This channel - and in particular this project to roll out video from the vault - is a freaking gift, thank you!

The jamming in this number at this performance - it ranks with the all-time greatest Jazz bands when they would reach their apex live on stages in the 30s, 40's, 50's, even into 60's...free...a group of musicians all speaking to each other with their instruments - having a conversation...through the language of Jazz music. That's what they were playing for much of this...Jazz...in it's purest form. They just did it in their Grateful Dead style. This was sublime. Absolutely sublime. And a gorgeous lyric and voice to convey it to boot. Bless them all.

Ageless......... We had such a wonderful lifetime of experiences........ and although its sometimes painful to acknowledge that those days are gone, how fortunate for us that we lived them..... and lived them well. Thank you, for those thirty years of magic!!!

Someone asked me “Ok, you’re going to Heaven but you can only bring one version of morning dew with you … Lyceum 72? Winterland 10/18/74? Cornell ‘77…. Or…?? I told him “This version 10/18/74, IS Heaven. Masterpiece of masterpieces ✌️💚🎵 .

Man o man... what an amazing version!

sooooooo grateful for some good free content that has made for so much magic in our lives amongst all the negativity in our modern world

This song, this version of this song, is sacred.

I saw the Dead play approximately 300 shows my wife saw over 500 shows. I miss you Jerry wish you were here my brother.

Every time I hear this song I think of my mom who has passed and I shed a tear or two. She loved this song.

Where to begin.... I'll skip the 10 minute (positive) rant I have about this, to spare everyone hearing someone full of overjoyous happiness. I'll sum in it up in one sentence: Thank you David and The GDF for helping bringing this magic to the people, we all need it, in these crazy times, this is beauty at it's core!

The sparkle in Jerry’s eye during the close ups is so beautiful. He was truly an amazing soul. I’ll never forget my 12 year old head and my dad seeing that Jerry abs passed, and he just shook his head in disgust….it hurt him to see someone so brilliant and in my eye saint like dye from something so bad. I wound up hooked on pain meds etc. and eventually heroin, and survived somehow, and I can feel Jerry’s pain in the later years even though he was big and jolly, there was pain there. What a beautiful song, and beautiful band…🙏🔥✌️🤙🏻💚💯👽👾❤️

a time where we put politics aside and listen to music that makes us happy. the true message of the dead is to LOVE and live in PEACE.

Man what a great time to be alive, the best years in the history of the planet has to be from 65 to 75, for everything...

This never gets old. Just amazing seeing Jerry looking and sounding so healthy. I love the 74 sound.

Probably my favorite performance of any song by any band caught on film. This whole movie is a masterpiece

The Grateful Dead and the Dead Heads are all my soul family! I love all of you!

Morning Dew is still one of my favorite Jerry songs live, never fail to get lost in it's melancholic beauty...

The Dead at their peak. Amazing era for them.

Ahhhhhh, JUST what I needed on this glooomy Thursday of May 2019.......sparks some light!!

Damn, first time hearing this tune. I suspect i picked the right version. Much love to all the people that came up during the 60s-70s, you guys got to live through a real special place in time. Im only 34 but id gladly trade whats left of my "youth" to have lived through that time period.

As I sit here listening to this during this pandemic sweeping the world I can't help but shed a tear! What an appropriate song!!

I was 12 years old when their first album came out. My brother who was 5 yrs older told me to listen to it. This song reached deep inside my soul and that was it! I became a lifetime member of the family. ✌

That was epic. I had to listen to the last 7 minutes left of the song in the grocery store parking lot. I couldn't turn it off.

The best days of the dead...The 70's..Man I miss those days.

I never want the song to end!! I love it so much. God bless the Greatful Dead

I loved when the Dead did their Morning Dew cover. This was amazing. For anyone wondering what it was like seeing the Grateful Dead "on", this is it. Wow!!!

I first saw the Dead in 1979, so I missed this in person. My youth was spent listening to Europe 72 and the other live albums available. This is so beautiful that I am sitting at my computer crying right now. Wow. So powerful.

In 2019, after 33 years of listening to rock and pop music from the 50s-90s I thought I had heard it all....CSNY, Beatles. Who etc. etc. etc. A LONG list. I had been steadfastly ignoring GD because, frankly, I thought they were a bunch of drug-addled longhairs from California who played 30 minute songs! I do remember when JG died, but it didn't mean much to me, however sad or tragic it was, except that he had played pedal steel on Teach Your Children. What can I say....? In some ways I feel that I have discovered the first - and last - rock band. I didn't expect to ever discover anything more from this era that would be deep and moving....but I did! And let me say this, I don't believe there is anything else in that era that I can discover that will be quite as profound as the Grateful Dead.

Still get so warm and fuzzy when I hear this version. So dang good!

Sounds like it was recorded yesterday - crystal-clear sound for 1974. And a mighty performance, of course!

MAGICAL! Jerry's liquid notes cascading out like a waterfall. As pure a sound as could be imagined.

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.

I hate to brag, also...LOL...but it was a graduation present from my boyfriend who was in college I was graduating from high school...and it was a HUGE major deal for us. YOU and ME...we kNOW...those particular shows...they were emotional and it was the best time...the best feeling...I can't even believe how indescribable it is...it was THAT good. We were sittin' on top of the world...

This has become my favorite version. The crowd roars, jerry's singing, and the dynamics overall... especially with Billy. my god

That bass guitar power chord at 5:51 shook my entire soul! Holy Christ!

I was only 5 years old here but i caught them in 87 for the next 8 yrs over 150 shows with my deadhead family damn i miss all of you God Bless

Chills. Everytime.

By far my favorite set of Grateful Dead ever.

This is so awesome, I'm gonna show this to everyone at work and convert them to deadheads.

This will always be my favorite dead tune. Jerry is filled with love and I know this because Jerry puts his entire soul out on display. The good and bad . It's all for the taking. God bless you Jerry.

just took a walk in the morning listening to this song man was it a psychedelic experience i loved it so much man looking at the ripples in the water there were even little flowers blooming they were beautiful

Unreal! Billy’s drumming is spot on.

I love the really quiet, reflective part of this song and the pairing with the film shots of audience, the band, Jerry's shadow, the big disco ball. It's really beautiful. Not only did Jerry pull together this performance musically, he edited the film as well. I think he did a great job!

I am a nerd. Synchronization fascinates me. Good music is also awesome.

This is the definition of definitive version
