As I was walkin' 'round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
From the other direction, she was calling my eye,
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
And I knew without askin' she was into the blues.
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls,
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.
In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough,
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,
I had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before.
Well, I ain't often right but I've never been wrong.
It seldom turns out the way it does in this song.
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves,
Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.
And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes,
I had to learn the hard way-i had to let her pass by, let her pass by
Wind in the willow's playin' "Tea for Two";
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,
Strangers stoppin' strangers just to shake their hand,
Everybody's playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.

That's Donna Godchaux free-styling at the end. Closed-captioning would label it 'vocalizing.' I've never been a fan of her vocal style, tbh.

I was just was thinking ,"What could make my day complete?" The Dead.
I know this song from Sublime (40 Oz To Freedom) - a great tune but did not realize it was a Grateful Dead song until now. Very nice!

Awesome! 80's and 90's here. We used to go to Vegas to see them in the 90's as they quit playing Texas in 88. They usually would do 2 or 3 shows at the same venue. Sometimes would dose for one of them but more often I would just smoke and enjoy the show. I have known several like you who would bring their children. They were so much more than just music. I remember Bob messing with Jerry at times, one could tell they were having a good time! I felt blessed if they did an acoustic set. Thousands just dancing or swaying to the music... I have never experienced energy like that at any other show. Rock on (~};-}
That joke a few year ago about the 2 dead heads and drugs is mean, & just ain't so & for many. Sure I did drugs (mainly psychedelics or pot) when I saw the Dead in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's, but I also did drugs at most all concerts, didn't or don't you? My last Dead concert was about a year before Jerry died, and we took our 14 year old daughter...no drugs then, but it was around. She also loved the Dead and really wanted to have the experience. For me, they were a hell of a lot more than "a garage band," and the improvisations were so creative that played off the crowd building with everyone participating ,incredible synergy ~ out of sight!

Whoa, it's a DeadFest....2 tunes in a row! When I saw 'em @ the Fillmore East their set was just one song...which one I seem to have forgotten.
LOVE it 💜
One of my fave Dead tracks, and for those of us who missed it in real time Sublime's version is great too

A great song ruined by that horrible wailing at the end!
Not as good as live but I turned up the volume all the same.
This song makes me feel good!
I wonder if they will play this on the P.A. system when Elon opens said hotel?
I

And I just raised my rating from 8 to 9. Not quite Godlike. It is Outstanding and one of the Dead's best offerings.
It's hard for me to believe that the average rating for this song is 7.3, I really would have expected it to be at lease an 8. It's a 10 for me!

Always been my favorite Dead song, from the first time I heard it.

Rabbit Ears nailed it. it's not that I dislike them, it's just I'd never seek them out. they're pleasant enough, there's just nothing that draws me in. almost every song sounds identical to me with very little deviation
edit. they are talented, clever lyrics, great harmonies, good musicians - just saying there's something about the over all 'sound' that has never appealed to me

Did the dead write more than two songs? Or do they just play the same song over and over for hours?

Seems to me that the Dead is somewhat like Joni Mitchell in the sense that you absolutely love, or don't get the hoopla. To me the Dead sound like an amateur garage band. Millions disagree with me. Conversely I absolutely love Joni Mitchell and many others cannot fathom why she has such a following. There never seems to be much middle ground.
While I get your point about love/hate, I think this is apples/oranges. One of the big reasons people like/dislike Joni is because her phrasing and chord structures are not what they're used to hearing (and many simply have an aversion to high voices). She wrote outside the box. One of the big reasons people like/dislike the Dead is because they stay well within the box. I don't hate the Dead - they have some good grooves & hooks, they're not offensive, but they're also not interesting to me musically. I can see why people like their melodies and grooves, I just find them boring (and I have seen them live a few times too - even more boring if you're not on acid).

I've always loved both Joni and the Dead.
There's an old joke I once heard about the Dead:
What did one Deadhead say to the other when the drugs wore off?
-- "This music sucks"
I saw 56 Dead show between '85 - '95 and I'm currently following Dead & Company when I can.
Without a doubt, absolutely the most fun I've ever had among a crowd full of strangers. While this is an interesting album track, it does not compare to the numerous instances of a Scarlet Begonias > Fire On the Mountain medley played live.
I'm okay with everybody bad-mouthing the Dead. It means that there'll be more room at the shows to dance. I saw 5 Dead & Company shows over three weeks starting with 7/2/2018 at Shoreline Amphitheater, Mountain View, CA. All shows were pretty much sold out. We've got enough people liking the music and the scene where we can put up with the dissent

For this song...live...outdoors in Summer...women dancing like twirling dervishes. And the vibe. Always the vibe.
Think it really helps to have seen them live, really helps !
Then it is wonderful.

Sorry dude. Too clever by 1/4. You think this particular album cut shows the negative influence of drugs? Which? How? Maybe the fact that they put up with Donna Jean's caterwauling could serve as evidence. However, this was such a bright and sparkly song live, that your "theory" fails the falsification test.
If a theory "fails the falsification test" does that mean it's a convincing theory?

So I have this theory that bands need to take the right amount of drugs to be good. No drugs, you get horrible pop. Too many drugs, you get this.

pass the bong? Love the Dead...always wanted to see a show but never did....if there are regrets in my life (and I'd argue there are very, very few) it would be that I never saw the dead live.
Nice one! Thanks Sieversfam... for those who get it. :)

But, like my dad always said...
"Even a blind cow sometimes finds an acorn." fyi, acorns are toxic for most animals and will kill a cow if they eat more then one or two.

Wow, I thought I didn't like the Dead. Guess I need to rethink that. 8.
One of the best Dead songs ... and even better live
Studying for a civil service exam I'm taking tomorrow- nice happy-brain-break! 
(and it makes the cockatoo dance, too!)
(and it makes the cockatoo dance, too!)This really is the last Dead tune I can tolerate...so that is another RP compliment....always pickin' the best songs, even bands I don't like anymore......long live RP
I dig this one. Uptempo songs were always welcome at Dead shows. So often they'd get bogged down and not get going for quite a while. This is such a happy sound.

When The Dead come on I gotta turn off the radio. Anyone have any recommendations for a radio station that doesn't play so much Dead, Wilco, and Talking Heads? I find I'm listening to RP less and less. I like the format and a lot of the selections, but the oldies are wearing thin. Thanks.

Raceway park...that's a great show from 77.
When The Dead come on I gotta turn off the radio. Anyone have any recommendations for a radio station that doesn't play so much Dead, Wilco, and Talking Heads? I find I'm listening to RP less and less. I like the format and a lot of the selections, but the oldies are wearing thin. Thanks.
a huge Grateful Dead fan once explained the skeletons to me. That the skeletons represent that we are all the same underneath. It gave me a new appreciation for the Grateful Dead artwork......Definitely not the biggest Dead fan in the house, but this is such a cool tune, I think. (9)
For all those who don't like this song — STUFF IT CAUSE THERE AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY SHE MOVES!!!!

Why is it that you have to piss all over everything and call people names ?
Are you really that insecure ? or You just enjoy being the turd in the punchbowl ?
Perhaps you should put the bottle down... instead of the people on RP.
First of all, your characterization of my posts isn't accurate. Second, when someone tells me they're grateful they don't know me personally just because I comment that I dislike the Grateful Dead — well, the rules of polite discourse sort of go by the wayside at that point.

Folks, please don't feed the troll. It will only go away when deprived of attention.

Grateful Dead: automatic 1 or 2, the latter only if I'm feeling generous.

You seem to be pretty obsessed with the male sex organ. Would you like to talk about it, Hon?
Btw, the term you're trying to use is "fail," not "fail it." Sorry, Grandpa.

That's Donna Godchaux free-styling at the end. Closed-captioning would label it 'vocalizing.' I've never been a fan of her vocal style, tbh.
Ditto, FWIW.
