Watch the Grateful Dead Cover “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues / When I Paint My Masterpiece” at Buckeye Lake

The Grateful Dead have returned to YouTube with another installment of All the Years Live. This time, we are transported to summer tour, 1993 at Buckeye Lake.

Deep into the first set, the Phil and Bobby traded vocals on “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” and “When I Paint My Masterpiece.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance, “A rare double-dose of back-to-back Bob Dylan, we’re treated here to Phil and Bob singing lead on a couple of Dylan’s classics. By the late 1980s, most Dead shows featured Bob Weir singing a Dylan song in the first set, and occasionally Phil would fill the Dylan slot with his interpretation of Tom Thumb’s Blues, but at Buckeye in 1993, the fans got both.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Playin’ in the Band” from Buckeye Lake ’91

The Grateful Dead returned to YouTube with a couple of treats last week including “Wharf Rat” from the Capitol Theater in 1971 and the latest installment of All the Years Live.

One of the shows that has been pillaged the most for All the Years Live is the Dead’s summer 1971 Buckeye Lake show. Check out what David Lemieux has to say about this performance of “Playin’ in the Band,”—”From the short-lived two keyboard version of the Grateful Dead featuring Vince and Bruce, Playing In The Band always allowed the band to do some deep exploration. Summer 1991 featured some of the best shows of the Dead’s final half-decade of touring, and Buckeye was no exception to this excellence.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the great footage!

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “The Wheel > All Along the Watchtower” at Buckeye Lake in ’93

While the Shakedown Stream is on hiatus this week, the Dead have continued releasing great archival footage via their All the Years Live YouTube series. The latest installment comes from the Dead’s stop at Buckeye Lake in June of ’93.

Out of “Drums” and “Space,” emerged an unstoppable “The Wheel” which turned into the often covered Dylan classic “All Along the Watchtower” that features some great soloing by Jerry. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “The Wheel debuted on Jerry’s first solo record in 1972, but wasn’t played live by the Grateful Dead until 1976. From 1977 onward, it was generally (but not always) a song that came out of Drums, and a bit later, Space. The introduction to the song on Jerry’s solo record includes some of Jerry’s best recorded pedal steel playing.”

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Foolish Heart” at Buckeye Lake from Summer ’93

The Grateful Dead have released the latest from their All The Years Live YouTube Series—another track from their Buckeye Lae tour stop in summer 1993.

Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “Typically a second set opener, ensconced in that slot for the bulk of the five years it had been played leading up to 6/11/93, at Buckeye a moment of inspiration must have prodded the band into playing it here as the second song of the first set, an unprecedented placement (it opened a handful of shows in 1988 and 1989, but was never played as the second song of the first set).”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the archival footage!
