Grateful Dead - Morning Dew (Winterland 10/18/74) (Official Live Video)

"From the middle night of a five night stand that were billed as the Dead's "Farewell Concerts," this is widely considered one of the greatest, and most emotional, versions of Morning Dew ever performed by the Grateful Dead. Thankfully, the Dead's farewell proved to be a two year hiatus from live touring, and in June 1976 they returned to the road." - David Lemieux

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

[TheGunnCat]

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.

[PickledEarlobes]

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

[jaykay]

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?

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!

[stevemurray]

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

[sethcushingmusic]

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. ❤❤❤❤

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.

[grin]

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

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...<<EDIT>>In 2023, one of the three Mad Tapers sadly passed away. But the two of us who are still here trekked to Vegas for a couple of Sphere shows without him. The music never stops...

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

Came here to listen to that bass hit . RIP Phil Lesh

[ultimateclb]

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

[sabrinaleedance]

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 ❤️

[pedrosilvastone]

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.

[seandewalt]

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

[johngaltg]

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

[MrWallybones]

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

[robshead]

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!

[timothyryan]
