100 year Hall, 1972, Stutgart, Germany, Dead, "Going Down the Road"
&list=RDAMVMT1teyt42Dik>1972, folks, the best sound engineers were recording this stuff. And, wow, whatta a 10 min. jam. The opening is wild. Kreutzman is totally on beat, everyone else is just sonically, together. I am a Deadhead, but this song is so friggen great, like I've never heard the band play. Enjoy.
If there is a better Live Band playing good ol' Americana in this timeframe (this is Woody Guthrie's song). let me know.
This is the core band. Garcia,Weir, Lesh, and Kruetzman. Donna, Keith, and Pigpen don't add to this, interestingly.....until the end and Donna brings her vocals in, beautifully. But it's all about the beat and the Dead were the best beat players....always on time.
And this a true interpretation of an American hero/musician. Woody Guthrie. If I had an the opportunity, I'd ask Arlo what he thought of the Dead pushing Woodie's music forward. If someone can, please report back on his comment,
