The guitars are slightly out of tune as the band begins "Ripple,"
but by the time Jerry Garcia starts singing both he and Bob Weir have
adjusted their instruments, and although their tuning remains a
little tentative throughout the song the performance is a warm one.
The definitive recording of this song can be found on the GD's 1971
studio album American Beauty.
Merle Haggard first achieved heavy name recognition among the rock
generation with his jingo anthem "Okie from Muskogee" ("...'n we
don't take our trips on ell-ess-dee..."). The song drew at least two
responses from Bay Area musicians: Nick Gravenites's "I'll Fix Your
Flat Tire, Merle" and the Youngbloods' parody "Hippie from Olema." My
attitude toward Haggard changed when I became a fan of country music.
Asleep at the Wheel and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen
brought Nashville, Bakersfield, Bluegrass, Louis Jordan, Texas swing
and bebop to the party, and all of a sudden us hippies had some
culture in common with the author of "Okie" and "The Fightin' Side of
Me." Haggard's tributes to Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys are a
real treat.
According to DeadBase, Bob Weir started performing "Mama Tried" in
June of 1969 at a San Francisco gig billed as "Bobby Ace and the
Cards from the Bottom." Other Weir choices from that period include
Buck Owens' "Tiger by the Tail," a couple of Everly Brothers numbers,
and the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face." The book doesn't mention
whether Garcia played six-string or pedal steel. Acoustic sets became
pretty frequent for the next couple of years, and the country/cowboy
material has remained in the band's repertoire ever since.
"Hey Pocky Way" is a Neville Brothers tune, with Brent Mydland
singing lead. "China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider-> One
More Saturday Night" was the encore, believe it or not, of the Dead's
performance at the Frost Amphitheatre on April 30, 1988. I think Weir
had to change guitars in the last song of the second set, so the show
may have seemed incomplete to the band. Anyway, they came back with
this extraordinary capper and made sure everybody got off before they
left the stage. - DG
