I was the first person in the queue to buy tickets for all three nights The Grateful Dead played Wembley, back in 1990. My only claim to fame. My life is complete!
i remember hearing this live on 4 hits of purple microdot...the world was swirling and breathing and contorting to the music....color light and sound emotion....dance till u thought u pass out....I miss u guys
I was at this show! Parked in a cornfield and the car sank up to the doorknobs in mud. We had to come back a week later after it dried and dig it out. It was also the first time I tried sugar cubes :)
I see your problem. I dissolved one of their cubes in a glass of water. Shared it with a friend. I had more than one friend. OMG! A day that still lives in infamy!
Heard this live more than once. My favorite venue was in Alpine Valley Wisconsin when I was living in Chicago. The Dead would book 3 or 4 shows in that open air amphitheatre over a week or two and there were a couple of state parks in easy driving range. Camp at the lake, lined with tie- dye banners and relax or fish during the day then go to the show at night. Always worth a weeks vacation from work. The motorcycle made it easy to cut through the traffic but the parking lot was a party unto itself. Those were the days.
I am listening to his with my 14-year-old son. I so wish I could have seen a show with him - these clips bring back so many good memories - sends chills up and down my spine, but with a wonderful smile on my face! I do miss the shows... peace to all.
my love for the dead will never fade away only band to play outside the box and thrive doin it only band to truly capture the aura of audience and bring heart mind and soul alive on stage most bands struggle really bad to put on a good live show but the dead were 1 of few bands to be better live than studio
Wow, how I miss these guys!!! This song is so awesome, it makes me just want to get up and dance. You know that "Grateful Dead" dance we all do and love. I've been sitting here all day watching Dead videos on youtube. Enjoying all of them, especially the shows I was at, this one included!! Best times I ever had were at Dead shows and especially the parking lots!!! The music never stops baby & My love will never fade away!!! Peace & Love to all my fellow Deadheads!!! Michelle
A great story I heard from an old deadhead, one time a group of skinheads formed in the parking lot chanting white power to provoke the Deadheads. The hippie crowd vastly outnumbered them, surrounded them, and drowned them out chanting "Love is real, Not fade away!" And clapping in unison, drowning out their evil vibes with love, music, and shaking their bones. Slowly but surely, love and kindness prevailed and the skinheads skittered off.
I am only 20 now, extremly happy with my life, the music of the grateful dead saved my life. I will never get to see jerry or brent, i have seen phil n bobby and DSO a good amount of times and jerrys there everytime living in the music and the hearts and souls of every human there listening to the sweet sound, EXTREMELY GRATEFUL HUMAN. Thank you so much. The dead truly taught me how to be happy in life without hard drugs all the time. I accually cry at shows sometimes
Nothin will ever top this! This IS the Grateful Dead... cruising in 5th Gear...on the smoothest road around...No one has ever played a solo this intense since... the perfect blend of feedback / distortion, sustain, tone, technique etc...and of course passsion!
Having listened to this song thousands of times,I think this version of this song is Brent's signature . It really put a stamp on the REAL keyboard player for The Dead.
The grateful dead is a great band. My dad has every original grateful dead albums on vinyl. There's no other band who had a sound like the grateful dead had. I read in in rolling stones the one they did on Jerry Garcia. Jerry said they got the name Grateful dead from a praise in a book. He took it to the band which were calling them the Warlocks at the time and asked what they though of calling the band the grateful dead. Everyone in the band liked the name the grateful dead.
NFA remained one of my favorite offerings the boys played. It's energy and joy were always a thrill for me. A second set, post drum choice, when you're tired and loose. NFA always charged me up. " I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be. You're gonna give you're love to me." Yes sir.
20 freakin' years wow. great summer. remember the east coast tour quite well (surprisingly lol). buffalo, giants, the old jfk, rfk. in sept moved to vegas & the boys followed the next year :)
LJ Mills Are you always on meth when you attempt to type? Because you either have problems typing or are simply an idiot that doesn't know how to spell even the simplest English words correctly. I'm guessing a GED was never part of your live.
Never fucking fade away jerry,you will never fade away.....R.I.P Jerry.....there will never be another like u,u r a fucking legend!!!! I followed u the summer of 95,its the only time im happy im 42...bcuz I was fortunate to have seen u let alone get to follow u for a summer
I saw The Grateful Dead in summer 1990. They had Bruce Hornsby open for them. Our concert was one of the last ones before the keyboardist died. This song was my FAVORITE of the concert. So cool live. We sung that song forever, it seemed-the crowd going back and forth. So alive.
God, this brings back such fine memories of those Alpine stands. We were young and exactly where we wanted to be. The band always seemed stoked at this beautiful venue and I will never as long as I live forget the sound of the roar that came down that hill and engulfed the pavilion. It was almost frightening the power of it. Ah, that those days may come again. Like Hunter says, "and they surely will, but not for me."
Nice! Ah, good memories. That era was the best of them all. Jerry was so fired up and the whole band was peaking! I toured the west coast extensively during the late 80's and early 90's....wonderful! Thank-you for posting this!
Yeah man, taking their time. Still gives me chills. Know our love will not fade away. I remember the crowd singing this (and sounding good!) at Winterland for what seemed like 10 minutes and the band actually came back out.
I saw this band twice. Each time I saw them it was like seeing more than one band. Plus I was high, so the music was, like, squared with the distance or something. And these guys are always improvising. There's no script, there are only themes. And those are wonderful like this one. These guys are torturing the song relentlessly. It cries out with everything it's got.
I was at this show, lived 20 minutes away from Alpine Valley at the time. Still know the back way in! Anyway, this was a great show toward the beginning of a great (sadly final) era. Thanks guys!
Best summer tour I ever saw, Foxboro, Buffalo, RFK and Giants. But Alpine was my favorite venue. Check out the Buffalo show from July 4th if you haven't yet. Special show. I was 20 years of age and on tour with a pocketful of Mail order tickets. I was extremely lucky, Thanks Liz, nice work, keep smiling.
This was from 7/17/89 and the middle of a three show run at Alpine Valley. For my money one of the best shows of the eighties. Brent, Jerry et al are having a blast and listening to one another and those good vibes are reflected in their playing. Big grins on Jerry and Bills' faces. I think '89 was the last truly great year for the Dead especially the Summer and Fall tours where there were a good number of outstanding shows. Just my opinion, I miss this band. Thanks Kulpo42!

Omg sugar cubes so damm sweet what a reminder
Oh wow. Thats an awesome story 🙂
***memories
Thanks for sharing I Love hearing people's stories:)
my brother!
I see your problem. I dissolved one of their cubes in a glass of water. Shared it with a friend. I had more than one friend. OMG!
A day that still lives in infamy!
I'm from Chicago, and would go up to Alpine Valley for Dead shows in the 80s and 90s. Best damn place to see these concerts, IMHO.

God, I love Buddy's music. As Keith Richards said, "He had it all - lucky devil."
Fantastic❤❤
The Brent years are my favorite! The songs just rocked even harder with him in the band!
This is the best Not Fade Away I've found so far. So much emotion I feel like I'm going to explode in the best possible way.
I am listening to his with my 14-year-old son. I so wish I could have seen a show with him - these clips bring back so many good memories - sends chills up and down my spine, but with a wonderful smile on my face! I do miss the shows... peace to all.
How’s life?
It’s 2023 and #2 of Alpine Haven 1989 is STILL one of the best ever. Woo-hoo❤
I took my girl's to several shows.Used to follow on part of Illinois to Ohio
These Shows Were Most Special, because I was there of course, I Love You All, every living thing on this most wonder filled planet.
Can't get enough of this song!!!
my love for the dead will never fade away only band to play outside the box and thrive doin it only band to truly capture the aura of audience and bring heart mind and soul alive on stage most bands struggle really bad to put on a good live show but the dead were 1 of few bands to be better live than studio
Front and center, right up the middle, straight ahead rock and roll. And the Grateful Dead delivers!!!. . . . mother-funkers, not fade away!!!
I saw them twice....once in 1968 and again in 1970. They've never left me. I've never left them.
+Richard Green- I will never leave them!
Wow, how I miss these guys!!! This song is so awesome, it makes me just want to get up and dance. You know that "Grateful Dead" dance we all do and love.

Watching these videos from Alpine Valley makes me appreciate Brent all that much more. The look on his face when he plays is fabulous!
Same, I was at his n Jerry's last shows

irvine..87...or 88 i cant remember...lol
I heard many joined their fellow brothers and sisters.
@@hymedude7378 I was at Irvine 88...it either wasn't there or I missed it. Or I've forgotten it, because honestly it does seem very familiar.....
If it was skinheads it had to be a rally for the tangerine 🍊 Tyrant golfing grifter from motel Mar-a-Lago..... MAGA666
Fake News
I miss this so much. Much love to all the deadheads out there.
I miss it too but you know everything fades away eventually
I love the crowd at the end.. "you know our love will not fade away"... we'll always, ALWAYS love you guys
totaly agree with you mr. shoemaker!!!good old concerts!!!!!!!!!!!! PARTY..
RIP Phil & Jerry!
this is what rock and roll should be
+Paul Wardle Amen!
you got that right Paul...
I am only 20 now, extremly happy with my life, the music of the grateful dead saved my life.

I hope 11 years later, you are still happy and thriving listening to the Dead 💀🌹⚡️
my love for the dead will not fade away
HAPPY 70TH TO A LEGEND. Truly not fade away.
Nothin will ever top this!

I was there for all three nights! One night it rained like hell.... Summer '89 was beyond description! Jerry we all miss you so much...
And the eye contact with him an jerry, WOW!!!!! Its amazing!!

How could anyone not like this? Killer performance. You can almost feel the incredible amount energy that must have been at this show.
Killer show! Thanks for posting!
our love was real. It will never fade away!!!
Greatest Rock and Roll song ever by the Greatest Band Ever. May the music never stop
Not Fade Away cut one of two or three greatest live concert performances ever. The Dead just sound better as time passes.
Seriously powerful vocals from jerry bob and brent, one of the best not fade aways
You know our love is NOT FADE AWAY!
I miss you Jerome. My love will not fade away.
I was here! Thanks for posting! Love is Real💕

My love for Brent is bigger than a Cadillac!
Great lyrics with the beat. Jerry full force- looking great -- Wonderful video - love
I saw this band twice. Each time I saw them it was like seeing more than one band. Plus I was high, so the music was, like, squared with the distance or something. And these guys are always improvising. There's no script, there are only themes. And those are wonderful like this one. These guys are torturing the song relentlessly. It cries out with everything it's got.
Jerry and Brent have passed but it's not over !Rip!The music will never die!Not Fade Away!
What an awesome version of this song Go Jerry and dead can't leave the dead out!
Was there at Alpine valley, saw the whole summer tour , what a time to be alive !
I was at this show, lived 20 minutes away from Alpine Valley at the time. Still know the back way in! Anyway, this was a great show toward the beginning of a great (sadly final) era. Thanks guys!
thank you for the reminder, jerry!

I was 20 years of age and on tour with a pocketful of Mail order tickets. I was extremely lucky, Thanks Liz, nice work, keep smiling.
If i die the same age as Jerry, I still got 38 years to listen to the Grateful Dead!
Got to see them twice. A damn good strange trip.
so much passion in their preformances!
Saw all 3 nts. at Alpline, one Dr. Creek, two Giants Stad, and Foxboro....Always the best!
amazing stuff! the music never stopped... and it never will!
