Old Negroe Spirituals
    #12695953 -

Hi there kiddos,

I am trying to make a Grateful Dead Cd for my neighbor which contains many of the old-school type songs. For instance, Gomorrah, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, etc.

Could you help me find these types of Grateful Dead songs. If you can, tell me the year, and the name of the song so I can locate it on the archive.

He is 80 years old - loves the dead - this would be the greatest gift I could offer the old gent. Please help!

brother, the archive is jam-packed full of jams. I am looking for a deadhead to narrow my search with their extensive knowledge of the dead progression

from 1970 Golden Hall Community Center

No kidding, I'm sure I've spent days just comparing concert recordings from the 70s :lol:

I'll see if I have any good ones, I don't have a lot of folksy dead but I've got a few shows.

Not exactly what you had in mind I'm sure but this show has some good acoustic dead stuff: http://www.archive.org/details/gd70-05-01.sbd.clugston.5465.sbeok.shnf

If you don't know how to download soundboards from the archive: if you change the word 'details' to 'download' you can see the directory listing and download files from there - I usually go with the variable bit-rate mp3s (VBR MP3)

you may want to look into just Jerry Garica's solo projects. Also, I am not to familiar with a lot of old spirtuals, ut they played a lot of OLD folk songs. Samson and Delia for instance doesn't really have an author, but many attribute it to Rev. Gary Davis.

In the pines they played in the 1960s is often attributed to Leadbelly and has several names "Black Girl," or "Where did you sleep last night"

I have a copy of David Grisman and Jerry Garcia doing Freight Train, and old elizabeth cotten song. Elizabeth born in the 19th century taught her self gutiar left handed growing up and stoped playing in the 1920s due to the church telling her the gutiar was devils music, but was to be rediscovered by Mike Seeger in the 1950s.

EDIT:
After a quick google search I have a better list, It doesn't look complete, and I dont know about the spirituals. But you can argue spirituals through the use of blues and certain folk covers if you wish.

Thank you guys for the feedback. I just want to songs with a spiritual essence to them - "A voice from on High" "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" "Gomorrah". One could argue that ALL dead tunes are spiritual but I want some overt lyrics.

That said, how do I download from the archive. I can only stream. Where is the "download" button? or 'details" button.

Here is a slightly more advanced method if you are on linux and can run and understand shell scripting.

Code:

 #!/bin/bash
find . -type f -iname *.m3u | while read list; do
  cd $(dirname $list)
    wget -i $(basename $list)
  cd..
done


What it does is read in the name of an .m3u which has links to the files and downloads them.

Cold Jordan is one of my favourites they cover. Most are from 1970 or earlier I believe though, so the quality is dubious but it is worth it!

Rosa Lee McFall is another folk tinged song they played, it's on a few of these shows as well.

Here are a couple shows, decide if any of the quality is good enough for you:
http://www.archive.org/details/gd1970-08-19.aud.taback.minches.81605.flac16
http://www.archive.org/details/gd70-09-19.aud-toner-weinberg.warner.25473.sbeok.flacf ; [also has 'swing low sweet chariot' in this show]
http://www.archive.org/details/gd1970-06-24.aud.cooper.coopernicus.32710.flac16 ; [cold jordan is encore in this show]
http://www.archive.org/details/gd1970-05-01.sbd.miller.95683.sbeok.flac16 ; [best quality sound]
http://www.archive.org/details/gd70-05-01.sbd.clugston.5465.sbeok.shnf ; [same show as above, different tape]
http://www.archive.org/details/gd70-09-17.aud.remaster.sirmick.27591.sbeok.shnf
http://www.archive.org/details/gd70-08-05.sbd.jupile.17271.sbeok.shnf
http://www.archive.org/details/gd_nrps70-06-24.aud.pcrp5.23062.sbeok.flacf

Oh hell yeah, I'm all about those. Here are some links, not GD, but you should just keep them anyway:







(Mississippi John Hurt & Pete Seeger had an awesome jam of that ^, but it got nabbed by the police!)





The next one is newer and a bit hokey but worth listening too IMO
