Nothing more American than the Grateful Dead. Then again, they seem to be relatable to EVERY human experience no matter where you're from. They played for their lives and our lives as well. God bless em!

You're really silly. Not one member of the band would want you to be all silly-patriot-twat. And no right-thinking person on the planet would want it either. Get real.
You were right the first time - they were the living embodiment of Americana… in many ways, not all of them good, but at the core there was the best value we aspire to: freedom.
I was there, did whole summer tour of 1990 and I specifically remember this song when he looked up and smiled right prior to first verse.... I still miss him...
I get annoyed how all the Grateful Dead documentaries claim that younger Dead Heads came on the scene in the late 80s mainly because of Touch Of Grey and the MTV video. When in reality it was mostly their older music 🎶🎵🎶 & a new generation was becoming old enough to go to concerts. A bunch of teens who never heard of the Dead. Didn't see touch of grey on MTV in 87 & immediately become fans.
It is who I am, I’m a retired FF/paramedic/ reserve deputy. I’m open to new ideas. I fruition suffer from PTSD. The Dead is my only refuge. I saw them in the day as @ 14 yo hitchhiking run-a/way from Sac, CA. I saw them at the ,Avalon, Fillmore , Golden Gate Park ( free). The Dead are and remain my connection to sanity! I mean that. The spirit was different then!
It's amazing that the band manages to squeeze so much new, great and inventive material out of a song vein that seemed to have been thoroughly explored 20 years earlier!😃
This is a pretty special rendition of this medley! Very musical all around; everyone shines here! This may be my favorite performance of China-Rider ever.
I love that around 2:11 when Jerry tries to go to MIDI for the second part of the solo you can practically see his brain say "where are the trumpets? There are supposed to be trumpets. " Then around 2:43, right before the 3rd verse, he summons Parrish with a finger wave to fix it. Garcia plays a holding pattern until Parrish fixes it around 5:37, then plays ANOTHER round to do an on- stage soundtrack with the MIDI, then draws it out, THEN they do the climax before I Know You Rider! This is like 3 transitions and subsequently AWESOME!
Other versions this same year have the midi trumpets at that point of the solo. And trumpets are the main sound once Parrish fixes the midi a during the jam
Hell ya I was there my second trip up to Shoreline The vibe is still alive dancing my way back to my mail order Loge seat with a micro brew in my hand honestly could not imagine a finer place at any other time in my life
I remember once at a show in 89 (or there abouts) at the second I wish I was a headlight the lights swung out into the crowd and the crowd's response was legendary. One of the best feelings I ever experienced at a Dead show. Someone said Jerry did a little hop.
t'was a special moment for sure, I saw Jerry do a little hop playing Dear Mr Fantasy in Irvine Meadows in the 80's .. t'was very special moment for me too.
Awesome, I was there, what a year, sadly to end with Brents death. The Dead have given me an everlasting gift, mind altered memories, adventures, the music echoes in my mind as if was there, now and forever
This is my favorite rendition. Shoreline 90 my all time fave shows. G.D were simply on fire and they looked so comfortable with F.X never do i tire with anything in this era..
About ten years ago my friend and confidant Jesse asked me to take contents of ipod and transfer to flash drive for his laptop, and when I opened it's saw it was very large and one band, the Dead. An old school street vato from Whittier present for police anti cruisingr riot and active during summer 65 so no surprise. The music catalogue was a find. I'm interesting music, broadcasting public radio and interaction with body chem. I was going to listen to whole thing and listened exclusively to it just to observre and see. Took over 2 weeks til completion and what happened was standout ---'Every time this China cat songm played I starteted a smile and by song end was beaming. Was over50 and suffer chronic depression for months at a time sinc abrupt adult onset age 26 so very meaningful and I mined my brain only minutes after realizing was of value to me personally I rephrased from the orginal intent replacing it with new goal of a smile.

Got cut of being brief. Biofeedback was partiicipitory and was distracting from subversion of the other 🎉sublminal therapy which was based on aikido the only martial art with no attack moves. Listening exclusively to this song repeating few renditions, never breaking listening always to completion. ,I'm 66 that was about at 52 and immediate effect was smile outside environmental and biochemical influences used as tonic regulary useing original protocol with increasing effectiveness , a great and profound use creating a positive trigger that now is absolutely immediate and deeper every year. I've used this to create triggers replacing clinging to chronic delusions making up harmless replacement easy to surrendered upon invitation and a scenario made up identified by trial error and stretegy to find a scenario where even of remote possibility daily and constant suicidal ideation would be intolerable and rejected as a option on any level. Immediate and locked in permanently. I never came across this version because it has qualities I never heard before,.. now I hear it and instantly join George Constantas TV

Here, check,out the make believe in next reply. Always Eye to brevity and attempt to be concise, Scott kiyoshi. Retired sushi herb chronic attention whore.
CRAZY ChinaRider, holy cow it's good! I really miss seeing Jerry, Bobby, Phil, etc, and getting to hear this combo, followed by Terrapin and then the killer Dew, while they played outdoor on a hot summer night! The mighty Grateful Dead 😊
I can honestly say... It's awesome to hear crystal clear individuality of them playing. When I/ we were there, it was real time. The feeling was awesome. Then had got a dubbed 4th generation tape that wasn't clear. But we could tell difference...
In 2005 I began to cycle up Mt. Diablo and passed a tall man leaving at the same time, I slowed to chat and ended up riding to the top with Bill. We had so much in common, loved bikes and The Dead, had oriental wives that when we reached the top we were now friends. He kept in touch, rode with me in Portland, Seattle and the Gorge and bought tickets for me to join him at a Dead concert in Seattle. A modest,intelligent and caring friend who I will miss and remember forever. A great tribute to a fine human.
@@GratefulDead5050, thank you for asking. This kid (starting at the middle of the top of the lawn) runs in Birkenstocks at full speed down the middle of the lawn. He's amazingly weaving around groups of Deadheads sitting on blankets. I'm pretty much jaw-on-the-ground watching him. I'm also tripping hard, so part of me is not even sure it's really happening. I see him rapidly approaching a section of wall-to-wall blankets/people: 50 feet wide by 30 feet long, about 100 feet from the bottom of the lawn and the roughly 2-foot high steel fence separating the lawn from reserved seating. There is NO way this kid is going to weave around that section of people, and he's too close to them (going too fast) to stop without taking a serious tumble. About 10 feet before that wall of Deadheads, he leaps into the air. He goes soaring over their heads, bicycle-kicking his arms and legs. He lands about 5 feet in front of the wall of Deadheads, manages to slow down, and finishes the run without hitting the steel fence (and having never hit a single person). Stunned, I look over to my right. I make eye contact with an older Deadhead. He looks like a modern wizard (bald on top, long gray/white fringe hair, longish white mustache, soul patch, round glasses). He also watched the kid's run, sees the look on my face, and can tell how hard I'm tripping. He matter-of-factly says to me, "Yeah dude, that DID just happen." 🤩 -Andy
@jonathanandrewwatkinsartpoetry 😆 What a story! Thats amazing and hilarious all in one. I totally got a visual, no pun intended. I genuinely appreciate Your telling us about it, Andy. Stay Kind
@jonathanandrewwatkinsartpoetry Certainty can't outdo your Crouching Tiger Hidden Hippy story, or desire to...But this reminds me of a hilarious (true) story I tell when I get the chance: My Older Brother and Cousin were tripping one night and sitting on the couch TV when my Cousin really started getting heavy visuals. My Brother appeared to be unphased, however, so he didnt say anything. A few minutes later, the TV they had been staring at proceeded to grow arms and legs, then hopped off of the cabinet, politely opened the door and walked out into the Texas night. My cousin thought he was going nutso and sat there speechless. My Brother, who was sitting right next to him, cooly looked in his direction and said to His surprise: "Are you gonna go get your TV?" 😆 🤣 😂 Thanks again.
Unfortunately I never saw them live but this is the next best thing! A good friend of mine just turned me on to these two for the price of one fabulous song(s)!! Ty !! 💠💠💠 That bass line is marvelous and carries the groove along - what a Happy Hopeful Sound, the sax Oh, My, 🌻🌻🌻
@@rayboden1264 “It IS?” 🤭 I feel like the village idiot as I looked for the sax musician and didn’t see one and guessed - wrong! ha! Jerry’s got a special kinda magic while strumming those strings - how does he do it? David Sanborn the jazz sax player passed this week at age 78 & I’ve been listening to him a lot. R.I.P. David 🎷🤍🤍🤍
At times the lack of Garcia's camera angle is excruciating. But holy shit it's so good. He absolutely schools them all at the transition crescendo. Like MJ dunking on the whole team one by one. Priceless.
I remember this "new" Doug Irwin guitar making me so happy when Jerry started with it. That flute sound, as an example, just created more opportunities for him and me. Make something good for the zillionth time better, and more compelling.
Tim Malloy He really dominates throughout the entire two songs. Garcia is clearly studying him intently as Weir directs the course of the song, and Phil is also paying very close attention and cueing off him.
Weir might be the most unique rhythm player in rock. His accents, tempo, "off" notes. Unlike anyone else. Had the pleasure of seeing him 2 years ago on the Bob Weir & Wolf Bros tour and it was awesome
We ALL died a little when Brent moved on. Fortunately, he left us with our memories and fragments of what he was made of in his musical prowess. Jerry, Phil, Brent, PigPen...That rock 'n.roll band in Heaven must be kicked butt...
Always wondered what Bill and Mickey talk about..looks like just casual conversation.."How's the kids Bill?".."They're good..started school this week"......
One show, my girlfriend sat on the bench with Bob and Jerry during Drums. She said Jerry was telling Bob about a cartoon he saw on TV that afternoon. LOL
@@woodzieniles5373 That actually sounds realistic. Want to know why? Because famous musicians spend most of their time pent up in hotel rooms on tour when they're not home.
Jose Villarreal especially the Dead. Kind of sad, in a way.. The woman I was talking about was friends with the folks at Winterland Productions. They sent her backstage passes for each tour. She offered them to me too, but since I wasn't a beautiful woman or have enough "supplies" to share, I felt like I'd just be in the way backstage. "Hi Jerry! I like the way you play guitar." 😑 As much fun as the coliseum hallways were, now I kind of wish I would have gone back and met them at least once. When I'd ask, Monica, my girlfriend, told me bits about what each member did backstage. Mickey mostly hung out by himself away from everyone and constantly drummed on a practice pad. Phil was her favorite. They got along the best. He was the only one to wake up early like her. Sometimes, he'd meet her for breakfast at the hotel dinning room. She went to more shows than me. I went to a LOT, but after a week or so, I would miss my woods and animals, and head back home. I still have a stack of passes. I keep them in my "Go to Heaven" LP.
My favorite version for sure, lots of people don't like Jerry's midi but i think it works well here, his playing is top notch, combine that with Phil and Bobby's excellent rhythm and you got one of the best jams of '90
One From the Vault 3. Back when the professional DVD'S / videos first started being released. All the younger generation, just assumes they were always accessible.
I was listening, not watching the video. At around the 5:45 minute mark I heard what I thought was an incredible sax solo. When I look at the screen I find that it’s Jerry playing with some kind of guitar synth pedal. It’s obvious that he listened to great jazz horn players when he was growing up. Nobody can and will ever play so fluidly and melodically.
Somebody once asked me what’s the best part of the United States ? I answered the Grateful Dead.
🇺🇲⚡♥️🤍💙⚡🇺🇲😎
Solid answer.
jeez heart takes that to the trash early
Anyplace That The Dead Are Playing On Any Given Day or Night

Well said. I agree
Alpine 89
I was there! The night before my 21st birthday. Awesome show.
I was there, did whole summer tour of 1990 and I specifically remember this song when he looked up and smiled right prior to first verse.... I still miss him...
I've been listening to this band almost daily since 1980. This is my first time hearing anything from this show. Best coma China Rider INDEED!
The drumming, the bass, the guitars, this is awesome
🙏😀❤
to me this combo is the most quintessential grateful dead. 60s psychedelica that segues into one of the great classics of americana.
I remember this show! What an amazing way to grow up. I am thankful every day for getting to see them so many times.
its been a long strange trip since then but I swear I met some guys flying a flag on their micro bus that said Cap'NTrips. what are the odds?
Same. Gives me goosebumps.
Me too !
RIP Phil Lesh! Gonna miss you so much. You guys changed my life.

U know who isn’t going to make it great again ! It will b a big hell for us who didn’t vote for him !
@@Bunbeck-pf9iwThankfully we have the Dead to help us get through the next 4 yrs.

i was there 3 shows cal expo two jerry band shows and 3 shoreline.
It's amazing that the band manages to squeeze so much new, great and inventive material out of a song vein that seemed to have been thoroughly explored 20 years earlier!😃
That is the magic. They didn’t change. The music changed how they played it
You can listen to this and the Judy Roderick version back to back and they're completely different and both are great.
This is a pretty special rendition of this medley! Very musical all around; everyone shines here! This may be my favorite performance of China-Rider ever.
It's built for improvisation, for interpretation, for experimentation, for interpretation. Music performed well is a thing of beauty.
Ever, period.
The mix! The music! EVERYTHING about this!! Christ on a pony!!!
I would say this was their best sounding year.

Yeah, true, the MIDI stuff was killer @@matthewcrooks510

Other versions this same year have the midi trumpets at that point of the solo. And trumpets are the main sound once Parrish fixes the midi a during the jam

not all but most!!
This kept me from ruining my 197 Days Sober! I say GD and this song DEFINITELY HELPS!
Roll away despair!👍😀🙏
You know it.
@@HollaFeliciahope you're still doing great 👍
What a blessing to grow up in the 80s. People always think they grow up in the best decade but the 80s and the Dead were seriously the best
it was great except for all the heroin n coke.....it took me 30 years to get over the 80's :). jerry knows what i am talking about
I like the 80s Dead albums but no, the 80s were not the best for the Dead.
there ain't no better testament to America being Great than this. Will live on for centuries
INCONTROVERTIBLY
I remember once at a show in 89 (or there abouts) at the second I wish I was a headlight the lights swung out into the crowd and the crowd's response was legendary. One of the best feelings I ever experienced at a Dead show. Someone said Jerry did a little hop.
That’s it those magic moments when seeing the Dead!
I think I seen that.
t'was a special moment for sure, I saw Jerry do a little hop playing Dear Mr Fantasy in Irvine Meadows in the 80's .. t'was very special moment for me too.
You know it. Of all the China riders I've seen you describe the plasma filled thunder on that peak for me at the Forum. Ka-boom! Goosebumps and awe
Smile, Smile, Smile
Will never be another Grateful Dead
Awesome, I was there, what a year, sadly to end with Brents death. The Dead have given me an everlasting gift, mind altered memories, adventures, the music echoes in my mind as if was there, now and forever
I think of all the places I have been too on tour.,I am blessed
I miss you Jerry
That beautiful voice Jerry will never be replaced
So pure USA 🇺🇸💀🌹🔥
I know you’ll miss me when I’m gone ! Not another truer sentiment . Miss u Jerry
I think the greatest band ever
Maybe Match....Yet NVR Beat
This is my favorite rendition. Shoreline 90 my all time fave shows. G.D were simply on fire and they looked so comfortable with F.X never do i tire with anything in this era..
One of my favorite songs ever!
there are two songs for the price of one
It has been my eternal favorite from the second I heard it in '95
“The sun ☀️ will shine in my back door someday “
@@laurasearing7125yes, yes it does
Bobby is so underrated, just listen to he both guides and fills in
He's the best
Bobby give good rhythm !
Bobby is deeply tuned into Jerry and omnipresent with the band's 30 year tour, has carried the torch since. He's a musical dynamo.
It is great that on this mix you can actually hear him!!! Really clean mix!

But I get the experimentation
Yes its Great so happy music
Check out Rochester 87

This is one of Bobby's best songs--Killer rhythm for Jerry.
Bob was great rhythm player, bestest, knew a million chords and could play lead great also on some songs when Jerry was singing
The China Rider transition has always been my favorite Bobby stuff, the leads that he plays in there, dating beck to like ‘73-74 have been the best

Yes To See Through BOTH Sides
Yes yes and yes.
Jerry. This is what countless hours of painstakingly practicing scales sounds like. Unreal.
And he cut his finger off to play better.
They could have played that for 2 hours and it would have been a great show on its own. Thank you for posting this. Wow!

@@tonydanis1480 ha ha ha, good one :)
So damn good!!
I was there. At the time nobody knew tragedy would strike. When Brent died is when Jerry died some too.
Agreed
We ALL died a little when Brent moved on. Fortunately, he left us with our memories and fragments of what he was made of in his musical prowess.
Jerry, Phil, Brent, PigPen...That rock 'n.roll band in Heaven must be kicked butt...
Che meraviglia!! Sono in estasi!!
my favorite song-s
God damn! What a mix on the sound! And, oh, umm, God DAMN!!!
Goosebumps from the jam
This is just awesome!
Nobody could bring the house down like Jerry....Nobody!!!!!!.....
Artistically and literally all at once LOL
the Dead without Jerry .. like the Doors without Morrison
So grateful IWT 🌹
RIP Brent !
Just woke up and yeah, I'm still in heaven.
Epic!
Samuel Godsey doesn't get much better than this!
Splendida clip. Grazie :)
Always wondered what Bill and Mickey talk about..looks like just casual conversation.."How's the kids Bill?".."They're good..started school this week"......
Keith Smerek if u watch scarlet from 7/7/89 you’ll see them talk about something
Probably more like "look at the rack on the girl in the red down there!"
One show, my girlfriend sat on the bench with Bob and Jerry during Drums. She said Jerry was telling Bob about a cartoon he saw on TV that afternoon. LOL
@@woodzieniles5373 That actually sounds realistic. Want to know why? Because famous musicians spend most of their time pent up in hotel rooms on tour when they're not home.
Jose Villarreal especially the Dead. Kind of sad, in a way..
The woman I was talking about was friends with the folks at Winterland Productions. They sent her backstage passes for each tour. She offered them to me too, but since I wasn't a beautiful woman or have enough "supplies" to share, I felt like I'd just be in the way backstage. "Hi Jerry! I like the way you play guitar." 😑 As much fun as the coliseum hallways were, now I kind of wish I would have gone back and met them at least once.
When I'd ask, Monica, my girlfriend, told me bits about what each member did backstage. Mickey mostly hung out by himself away from everyone and constantly drummed on a practice pad. Phil was her favorite. They got along the best. He was the only one to wake up early like her. Sometimes, he'd meet her for breakfast at the hotel dinning room.
She went to more shows than me. I went to a LOT, but after a week or so, I would miss my woods and animals, and head back home. I still have a stack of passes. I keep them in my "Go to Heaven" LP.
This, plus headphones=Lesh bombs.
Great 90 midi version... the best!!!
the greatest rhythm guitar player ever
Who?
@@davekrzywinski7243 Bob Weir
love love love!
Some great guitars here! 😁
My favorite version for sure, lots of people don't like Jerry's midi but i think it works well here, his playing is top notch, combine that with Phil and Bobby's excellent rhythm and you got one of the best jams of '90
I don't like it thought it unnecessary, but still great version
One From the Vault 3. Back when the professional DVD'S / videos first started being released. All the younger generation, just assumes they were always accessible.
Exquisite
one of my favorite Dead combos.nice post
I was listening, not watching the video. At around the 5:45 minute mark I heard what I thought was an incredible sax solo. When I look at the screen I find that it’s Jerry playing with some kind of guitar synth pedal. It’s obvious that he listened to great jazz horn players when he was growing up. Nobody can and will ever play so fluidly and melodically.
