1st show of hundreds. What a great life following all these years.
Jerry said “Hello” before the Brokedown to me...he pulled the line that was going through my skull.. I was crying cuz it was the last night of tour..& I was really high. (20 yrs old)... Miss Jerry so much. Was a great summer tour
Never knew they played the day I was born. Very cool.
Love it!
Yea this is 2nd set. Me and a friend drove from Syracuse in my 79 Chevy chevette. We had seen the Saratoga show and decided to drive to Pittsburgh. Such a great era. Miss those days. Like the saying goes "you don't know what you got til it's gone"
Saratoga 1st. Show
I went to this show with a good friend of mine. We both traveled from Charlotte, NC to Saratoga Springs, NY, then to Hershey, PA, then to two in Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD. Then on to Pittsburgh. This show was a bit out of the way but it was good. The show was in the entire venue from what I remember. I especially liked the Lost Sailor - Saint of Circumstance. The brokedown brokedown was a hoot too. Great experience.
7-2-85 - Epic 2nd set - remember this was like it was yesterday ...
I'm the tall guy dancing directly in front of Brent in the front row!! What a night that was..everyone having a great time, Brent full of himself, laughing and making faces at us. Seems like yesterday.....it all rolls into one, seems like all this life was but a dream. Great show and a great tour of 9 shows in 14 days. The sound on this video is just superb,
Holy chit Phil is getting it!!!
Brent was by far my favorite pianist for the dead, not only was he incredible and added so much musically but his voice did the same thing melodically for their vocals. I love the dead 65 to 72 but the Brent era was the best for me. Especially after Donna destroyed their harmony for 7 years wailing over songs she had no business on.. the audacity of that woman to be singing on masterpieces is out of this world. I can't listen to that era at all, if I want to hear 70s jer I listen to jgb
THIS IS NICE,WE DID THE COMPLETE SUMMER TOUR,ONLY INDOOR SHOW.NICE WAY TE END A TOUR.LIKED WHEN JERRY MESSED UP THE BEGINNING OF BROKEDOWN,THANKS FOR POSTING.
SCOTT PEACOCK give me an indoor basketball/hockey arena any day one a shed or stadium
I was there! It was my first Dead Show. I had seen a lot of concerts before this one but this changed everything, It was the crowd. The Grateful Dead is a pheonomanonel! trip that just keeps flowin on. I remember they did Revolution I was lovin it!
My first show too!!
@@kennyfryman3634 Man, there ain't nothing like a dead show, they are not the best at what they do, they are the only ones who do what they do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me Too.
They sure r the only ones who do what they did ! Have more concerts than any other band in this world plus was the only band to play in front of the Pyramids ! How special is that ? Did any other band ever get to ? ❤️🐇🐰🌹🎹🎼🎵🎶👽🪐🚀💥☄️❤️🔥⚡️🌟☮️ I don’t think so ? 🤩🤪😋😛🥳party on as Jerry would love us to !
Damn this is cookin' ! Great levels on Brent's GS-1 in the mix, my favorite keyboard sound was when he was using that rig. Thing looked like furniture but could be funky and fat or chime like bells
Yes!!! Yes!!! And Super Duper Yes!! Great memories of this Pittsburgh 1985 show!!! I was 17 and loving life, coming off my first show in Cincinnati a week or so before! Thanks a cosmic ton for posting this!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Me too!!!
Voo, this is the balls, the mix is pretty darn close to perfect.
Bobby is having a blast doing Smarter, love to see this, thank you!
One of my to 10 Women Rs
Yes, this was my 1st show I was 15....I remember being on shakedown thinking, how am I going to continue the ride...I remember a botched broke down..revolution for encore.then that 87 show w the Neville Brothers, it was epic....I can't believe the roof didn't come off...yeah amazing how your 1st show was..!
I was there too 17and in love with the musk., I love that I found this thank you for posting!!
Hey just curious did they open the roof?
@@nickbakaj322 Funny, I was just telling someone the story of how I thought they were doing that because the place was rumbling... turns out it was just first time hearing Mickey dominate the low end during drums (my first show)
This was my first dead show ever! THANK YOU!
Mine too!!
wow back in 85 - 86 true the mail i colleced all of 1985 dead show on tape. to see vids from 85 is awsome i stopped seeing the dead in 93 because they were sucked that year and were not going to get any beter.
That’s because Brent was gone to the other side + Jerry missed him lots ! It was never the same after that ! ❤️🐇🐰😢🥲😢😩
I got on at Terrapin Station that appeared in a Igloo. I have been riding that Train with Casey Jones ever since. And what a long strange trip it has been!
Hi there Mr. Voodoonola , I’m back for more of this because everyone’s singing in this women r smarter which we r mostly ! ❤️🐇🐰
Thanks for the upload. I was actually at this show. I was a young tree trimmer at the time. That's when my foreman started a new policy - If the Grateful Dead's in town, I'm not allowed to climb the next day. Good times.
Lol...
Loving It! This was my first Dead show!
you might be my hero. or the love of my life! best tour EVER!! (i think...) thanks!
My first show. A gifted ticket from a friend. Pittsburgh shows were always special and so much fun to host friends from out of town. We had about 70+ stay at the Bruno house in Washington, PA for the '88 Pitt show right after Alpine. So much fun. The house was full and tents and cars up and down the street. An amazing night. The next year '89 was the Pitt police riot and had a smaller crowd stay over. I always managed to get back home for shows but 88 was something special. Anyone out there remember staying at the Bruno house in Washpa in 88 or 89?
Lost Sailor/ St. of Circumstance was played often and very well on the 1985 tours. This version is outstanding.
My first Show..Jim Hahn and I only saw this once at the Civic Arena, in Pittsburgh PA. The first time I saw the Grateful Dead in 1985, 7 -2 1985, Jim came up behind me. I didn't know he and BrianAkA (Klinger) Klingensmith were there ... but right after the first set as I watched a Foxy gorgeous woman undress completely and dance during Friend of the Devil ....then the set break... while I was smoking some really good Black Hash between the narrow row of seats In the Dome With Andrew Scott from Kiski a CMU friend and is now the head of the Art Department at Kiski I was bear hugged by this sweaty person .. I turned around and it was my brother Jim Hahn.....I was like-" I didn't know you like the Grateful Dead..." & he replied " imagine" that" Amazing......
What a first show.. total synchronization of two brothers!!! And the Whole Show... then we smoked Hash and the Grateful Dead opened up with "Woman are Smarter" for the second Set into Crazy fingers 😜 Then Sailor Saint.. Terrapin Station then Drums.. Mick and Billy!!! it was one of the last times the Grateful Dead played " Lost Sailor" they kept doing "Saint of Circumstance" but without "Lost Sailor"
It was some sort of miracle!!!!
HOLY CANNOLI. Double Encore.. and Jerry spoke after he flubbed Brokedown Palace in the wrong key... then started all Over saying "sounds Good, Huh??"

My third show great sound !
dead hadn't played pittsburgh in four years. those of us who liked them but didn't tour were quite shocked at how much jerry had packed on in the past few years. still -- it was great. the july 1987 show was even better.
Great sound! :-)
Superb
Awesome!
Can't believe it was 38 years tomorrow Jerry singing wharf rat forever greatful
final show of summer tour '85 and the last of 5 in a row for this 17 yr old!
