Round 2, match 2: Grateful Dead best ever China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider Elite 8, m2 Round 2, match 1: Grateful Dead best ever China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider Elite 8, m1 For those without the Road Trips disc, you can find in the archive atĪ/details/gd.įor those who want to go back and see how we got here, here are the links to the round of 8: The incredible version from Des Moines can be found on Road Trips 2.3 “Wall Of Sound”. Rider may no longer exist without the overdubs, so here it is with the GoGD suddenly sounding like they’re the Eagles singing Seven Bridges Road: Here is a link to the non-overdubbed China Cat: When it was released, said “all the songs that turned up on previous Europe compilations will be appear in their proper show contexts, and in the case of songs from the Europe ’72 album, without overdubs that were added later (where possible).” The closest we can get to the “real” sound is in the trunk. I think each version on the Archive also has the overdubs. We have discussed the overdubbing on the Olympia version from Europe 72. Olympia got here by defeating Philly 74 and Providence 74. This week, the first matchup pits Des Moines 74 against Olympia 72.ĭes Moines got here by defeating Fillmore 1970 and PNE 1974. The lead vocal was sung by Jerry Garcia.Hard to believe, but we are now 3 full months into this tournament, and it is time for the final 4 versions of China>Rider to battle it out for the title of best ever. The song was written by Bonnie Dobson and Tim Rose. It was the opening track on side two of the record. “Morning Dew,” was released on the band’s debut album in 1967. If you ever saw the Grateful Deal live and heard them perform “Morning Dew,” you would understand what my friend was talking about instantly. It was a tough list to put together because from 1967 to 1977 the Grateful Dead released so much great material. The songs have been chosen in chronological order. We picked songs from the band s catalog starting with their debut album and ending with Steal Your Face. Any true Dead Head will absolutely know these songs, but the average listener may not. We though it would be more interesting to publish an article that picked out 10 great Grateful Dead songs that the causal listener may not be aware of. There is need to publish another list just like that. They all contain the same songs, Sugar Magnolia, Casey Jones, and so on. Ther are so many Top 10 Grateful Dead songs articles that have been published. However a 1960’s or 1970’s Grateful Dead concert could not be compared to anything else. Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin in the 70’s, The Doors, James Brown and Janis Joplin in the late 60’s and Prince in the mid 80’s were shows that transformed the human body and spirit. I have seen hundreds of concerts in my life and only a handful went beyond just the entertainment value. There are very few bands or artists that ever had that deep of an affect on their fans. If it did not, you probably should not have been to the show in the first place. Seeing the Grateful Dead during the time when Jerry Garcia was alive was akin to a religious experience. Anyone who is a true Grateful Dead head understands exactly what my friend was talking about. Records (Billboard, page 9, 5 December 1970), via Wikimedia CommonsA friend of mine once said that he never got the whole dead head thing until he saw the Grateful Dead live.
