It seemed so run of the mill back then. Plunk 12 bucks or something like it down and drive 12 hours to see the dead in Buffalo or Boston or DC. I and my awesome dead loving girl and guy friends did a lot of dead trekkin and enjoyed every minute. I didn't realize how precious each of those moments was. In fact we was minting memories. Our memories and UA-cam.
No matter what I listen to or how long I get hooked on an old band.........always come back to the Dead. It's like a warm safe place where I'm always welcome and familiar.
I got to see Pink Floyd 1987 chapel hill North Carolina and we droped paper I didn't realize we had seats in the orchestra section I was 5th row from the stage on the end of the isle seat David Gilmore was straight ahead I could have spit on him oh my God what a long string Trip it was we got the paper from Roanoke VA off the dead heads on the parking lot of Roanoke Civic center where they were playing 1987i was 21 such great memories people got along and you new you could trust people amazing how it has gone to shit I am so fortunate and great full to have been 21 and not have to worry about going to south east Asia and fight for the gooks lol I am so stoned I don't think I have any thing to I iii lolol I am going to go keep it groovy
Never...ever...I'm 58, born and bread I'm NYC...saw my first show at The Garden 81' I was 15, in 10grade..Taking the Long Island Railroad to Penn Station, 30 of US, Saratoga 84" my high school graduation weekend in the pouring. Pouring rain for 3 days straight, dancing barefoot in mud puddles, just the camaraderie we all shared, and the Peace and Love we showed to complete stranger's, you'd meet all around the country, no fighting, dosing each other. ..not asking for nothing IN return, we were all there for the music, letting free, and helping each other, and I've seen everyone at the garden, from that Era...2000 concerts..Nothing compares to a Dead show, and never will
I was there. The clouds started moving in, a light rain started falling, you could hear Jerry toying with the opening chords of Cold Rain and the crowd just lost it. What an incredible day and show!
He was toying with a lot more than chords, but you can call it whatever you want. It’s your dream and you’ll always live on my friend. I know you, Love Ryder
6 weeks ago I would’ve laughed at your comment.. I’m 53 years old.. of course I always knew who the Grateful Dead were, but never cared to listen… Today?? I’m hooked.. and I FREAKING MISSED IT ALL 😢 Thank God for video tape 😃
@@stevetrivago There's still Phil n Friends and whatever Bobby and/or Mickey have up their sleeves for the moment. Trust me, it's still good. Bobby especially is better now than he ever was.
After 60 years on this planet ripping running loving and losing and just trying to work and live and not hurt anybody I have come to realize that this is about the greatest song and best version anybody ever did and dammit I miss jerry
Del McCoury's version is probably my fav. Just a lot more folky/bluegrassy. Although Molly Tuttle did a version that is absolutely haunting (ua-cam.com/video/6yfMN0ELS3g/v-deo.html)
This was my first show! Drove from NYC with friends in Dave's dad's Lincoln Continental. Those opening notes still give me full body chills! We were down front somewhere in there! Dylan and Petty at this show as well, what a day. Nothing like it! My 14 year old daughter now wears the t-shirt I got that day. The Wheel's turning... And yeah, this editing is bonkers. HA! PEACE ALL!
Love the wind in Bob's hair - Love Jerry being so lively and happy - What a night to catch the band - Love Jerry in any color - Phil was lobbing some bombs - Mickey and Billy keeping time - Brent in the house as well - This was the quintessential line up of the Dead - this time - Summer of '90 was off da chain -
Jerry wore red in '85 and '86 quite a bit. I was in college in those years and saw many, many shows with him in red. I even got a bumper sticker that said Trouble ahead, Jerry in Red. I was at this show. It was one of the last before he slipped into the coma just a few days later. It's amazing how good he looks in this video considering how sick he was at the time. RIP Jerry, we miss you!
touching story. too bad it's total bullshit. yes, he went into a DIABETIC coma in 1986, but came out of it five DAYS later, and returned to touring within a few months. he remained active for YEARS. jerry garcia died in 1995! almost a DECADE after this show. put the joint down, bum a quarter and buy yourself a clue.
The Dead are like a Dixieland Band...each band member playing a solo at once..Awesome...and what more can be said about Jerry...Cool he's wearing red. God Bless you Jerry...may you Rest In Peace knowing you still bring joy to millions....
That's cool -- I've always said the Dead were a bluegrass band that went rock and psychedelic. It all comes from Jerry's guitar approach really - he looks happy and grooving on the big crowd all in the band's hands, in this one.
+Dash Jeffreys: Is there any chance that "Dixieland Band" thing is referencing a really specific recording from 67 of the GD right before playing viola lee blues?
Very bittersweet for me to listen to this and so many of my other favorite Dead songs. I have countless amazing memories of my times as a beautiful young woman freely prancing around and full of life! I will always cherish those memories, however, the older I get the faster time seems to fly by. Makes me long for my youth. I try to not yet stuck in that and appreciate today, but it's very difficult on some days. Especially when I hear and see things that I was once a part of and didn't truly appreciate at the time...😊
I know right. I've been trying to get his style down for so long that now my pinky will lock up after a few bars (Django Reinhardt style will also mess those hands up if you dont have long strong fingers)
Most of the Dead shows I attended were at the Fillmore or the Avalon in the mid-sixties, and Pigpen was the main vocalist. He'd close the show with "Midnight Hour". Later on, it would be "Lovelight". But booze got the best of him, long before Amy Winehouse was even born. That said, the Dead were many different bands, reinventing themselves over the years. The Brent Mydland incarnation was one of the best, IMO. His B3 adds a lot to this song.
Edward Syrett Berkeley community theater, Avalon ballroom, Fillmore west, and a few other places hosted the dead. It seems like it was just last week this coming from an old hippie!
this was a great day the boys opened for dylan backed by petty and the heartbreaks.....the acid was clean and strong!!!!!!!! yeah baby good times....they went into the wheel with thunder and lightin flying everywhere....truly amazing times
I just cannot watch Dead shows on the tube without my eyes welling up with tears. Those days were so incredible. I was introduced to myself at a show in Ventura.
Energy! Integrity! Cohesiveness! They're looking at and listening to each other! The audience is listening to them! I can hear the bass guitar clearly being inventive, melodic and driving!
I was there, coming out from the big tarp, awesome night, circus was rocking after the show, took me 2 hours to get back to my car, but wasn't going anywhere.
grateful to have had this in my life... happy music... I remember being in the wheelchair... somewhat depressed... and listening to this... brought happy back .... and was still able to boogie in that rolling chair... yes... happy music... very grateful... ( I am out of wheelchair now) grateful for that too...
my buddy has been in a rollin chair almost a year now after an unfortunate car wreck , he got a hip replacement doing better every day cant wait to blow him away and take him to a show soon!
It's tough to make a top ten list of favorite, live Grateful Dead tunes, but I always got goosebumps and chills when they'd hit that first note of Cold Rain and Snow, then 6 to 10 minutes of dancin' singin' & swingin'!
Literally the only band I know of that plays the same song since early 60's that can make it sound so different through out the years and still make it just as magical as it was before ..absolutely amazing
Grateful.dead are like black liquorice..not everyone likes them but the ones who do like em....really like em a whole lot! I love the grateful dead..any year ans era..but everyone has their favorites
This cut was magnificent! This coming from a very old deadhead located up here in Alaska USA baby! Not only are they dead in my life, they go with my children and grandchildren. I am so fortunate to have been a very important part of a very important musical group. We will meet again brother Jerry and I will introduce you to something that will be show very important to you and your ancestors who are dead.
He was probably wearing red because his Black and blue t shirts were in the laundry. Anyway it is super cool to see a video with Garcia so energetic. Thank you Jerry "nothing left to do but smile smile smile"
I don't care what anybody says. I know these dudes made music America will remember, possibly even the world. If this sorry ass planet survives another 100 years their music will still be played.
I WENT TO SEE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS IN 1973 AT JFK STADIUM THE DEAD OPENED UP FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS WHEN I SAW JERRY LIVE I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT NOBODY LIKE HIM SIMPLEY HE WAS THE BEST
Only found out today that this was not an old blues song. It came from Lomax collection of songs he found in early 1900s. Published in 1917 as "rain and snow " in "English songs from the Southern Appalachians".
This is Jerry at his most unhealthy. Shortly after this show, within a week I believe, he collapsed after the RFK show. It was 100 degrees, he had an absess tooth, undiagnosed diabetes and was severely dehydrated. He very nearly died and as we all know had to essentially relearn the guitar. Merle Saunders was a great help in his rehabilitation. His legendary resonse when he awoke to a roomful of people: "I'm not Beethoven." God, I loved this man.
Getting psyched for Sunday June 28th show at Levi Stadium.... Haven't seen a show since 2004's 'The Dead' at Mountain View w/Warren Hayes. Hoping that Jerry's vibe is present at this show, I know I will miss him no matter what.
Love! the way the Grateful Dead introduced me to this old music, they were (and still are) an epic band that we all owe so much! There covers of old blues and balleds were the best!
Saw the Dead only once- at Summer Jam in Watkins Glen, N.Y. (early '70's) Summer Jam was called the "second Woodstock". I was working at a night club in Buffalo, took a few days off and hitchhiked there. I will never forget the show- the Dead started tuning up very early in the morning, they woke everyone up, and within a half hour or so, there were thousands of people packed up near the stage. I hadn't slept the night before, so I ended up being smack dab in the middle of the crowd around the stage. And I was one of the very few who was even awake when they began to tune up! They played for what seemed like hours!
That was in 1973. the Dead with the Band and the Allman Brothers. I was there too, with about a half million others. We were in a massive traffic jam before it began, barely moving. A guy was walking down the line towards us telling everyone, "If you take that right turn just ahead you can be inside in no time, setting up your camp." The carload of us (also from Buffalo) wondered if he was telling the truth, but we said "Let's do it. We have nothing to lose!" He was telling the truth and once we made the turn we were inside, with all our stuff in something like five minutes! Things got real good soon after when the drugs kicked in and my memories have faded but I do remember having an extraordinarily good time. It rained some and the music went on and on...never stopped, really.
🎼Thanks Obray Ramsey for the original tune, thanks Jerry for this version of it & thanks Peter Rowan & Tony Rice for their slower, really beautiful version AND thanks to whomever posted it...Much love always , Fox 🎶🎵🌹🕶
This is a show I would have liked to have seen.Happily I went to a lot of them in California, Oregon and Arizona. I love this song!!great version!! love seeing Jerry in red!! miss him like crazy...
It was" trouble ahead Jerry in Red". Garcia was clean while wearing the Red shirt. After the intervention by the band. Jerry respected there love by wearing Red. Well that's the hippie Dippie belief about the respect/Love. He wore it pretty much through the year in 1985. Of course there were exceptions .. He was Garcia.. Iko Iko all day. But the band started playing with Fire in their belly's. Not always the best vocals from Jerry but you felt the rebirth in him.. The Energy every night was incredible.. I saw 25 shows in 85 and you felt that at any night anything could happen and sometimes it did. The breakouts were awesome.. Fucking Cryptical?? Are you kidding me!! She Belongs to me..Phil starts singing.. Tom Thumb Blues .. Phil started singing.. It was good thing at that time..lol....In 86 it just continued with the Energy but the red shirt was seen less and less.. But "The band keeps playing on".. The breakouts kept coming.. Spring 86 in Hampton.." Box of Rain" "Visions of Johanna" .. Just an energetic time in the band.. I miss it everyday .
Bryan, you and me! been missing them for the last 50 years. I was 17 the first time i heard these guys, in 1967. i met them at my school where they played in 1969. followed them up to Porchester, and magically spent the weekend with Bobby. danced non-stop onstage for two nights straight! can you dig it, ha ha....i've had alot of memories of the Dead for sure!!
Best show I ever went to, didn't get tickets and stayed outside. Foxboro stadium sometime 1989. People were just saying yes to everything and it was insane. Guy going around spraying people in the mouth with water and acid. Can confirm, it was real.
This is the era I loved so much - Brent and jerry are irreplaceable !! It wasn't the same without Brent and then when Jerry died that was the end of an era - I still love Dead and Co. too ,but without phil once agaain its not the same just another variation of what once was the greatest American rock band ! This really took me back to that place in time .....
This was one of the best shows I ever been to! Right here in my own backyard, (kinda)! Hard to believe it was freaken 25 years ago tho!! I thought they played extremely tight that day. Crowd was great, cops left folks alone. They also did a Jack Straw that day (July 4th), crowd went nuts when they sang... "Leavin texas, fourth day of july, Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky." I was happy I just found this :) Thanks to whoever posted it!!! Great stuff!!!!! (-
I was a tour rat and saw all those shows .Garcia bought boxes of clothes and then would wear and discard- He did a lot if not all that tour in red. We would say TROUBLE AHEAD JERRY'S IN RED! Then TROUBLE IS BACK JERRY'S IN BLACK!...@craigfuller44
+Craig Fuller no doubt he went into a coma like a week after this show and he was always wearing red,..prompting me to make a trouble ahead jerry in red,.trouble behind jerry is fine ...for spring tour 87
I remember being at work seeing the good year blimp heading to Buffalo that morning and called in sick from work to and headed to this show... I was 15 and that was all she wrote, was a young and hitting all the shows I could. lol good memories
Lucky, I wish I could say "hey man I toured through 87 and 88" or something like that but sadly I'm only 24 and dead and Co. Is all I got, wonder how much tickets for those shows cost 🤔🤔
I remember the red T-Shirt - the tour expression was "trouble ahead, Jerry's in red." I drove the 8 hours to this show with my brother. Great memories. Miss you Jerry! Corby's dad
One of the 400 greatest Grateful Dead songs of all time
I like early stuff...
They had about 400 songs to draw from overall, and in the '90s they were drawing from about 125. I read this fact.
@@erichottel7783 I think that is the joke
@@turnersong8111 The joke?
The best opener with no doubt in mind
i'M 72 YEARS OLD NOW and still listening. Remembering. & reliving my youth with this band!
It seemed so run of the mill back then. Plunk 12 bucks or something like it down and drive 12 hours to see the dead in Buffalo or Boston or DC.

No matter what I listen to or how long I get hooked on an old band.........always come back to the Dead. It's like a warm safe place where I'm always welcome and familiar.
I understand you, bro.
Yeah! A place where those chilly winds blow...
me too.
Dash Jeffreys you are always welcome friend! enjoy i know i will
Hey now!
There will never be anything like a Grateful Dead concert ever again.
They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do.
Yup.
I got to see Pink Floyd 1987 chapel hill North Carolina and we droped paper I didn't realize we had seats in the orchestra section I was 5th row from the stage on the end of the isle seat David Gilmore was straight ahead I could have spit on him oh my God what a long string Trip it was we got the paper from Roanoke VA off the dead heads on the parking lot of Roanoke Civic center where they were playing 1987i was 21 such great memories people got along and you new you could trust people amazing how it has gone to shit I am so fortunate and great full to have been 21 and not have to worry about going to south east Asia and fight for the gooks lol I am so stoned I don't think I have any thing to I iii lolol I am going to go keep it groovy

Wow! Thanks for sharing this bit.

It went from 85 degrees to 55 degrees I was up top watching the clouds roll across lake Erie
Arguably the greatest American band of all-time.
No Grey Grey is UnKool!
Seriously...who can rival them?
6 weeks ago I would’ve laughed at your comment.. I’m 53 years old.. of course I always knew who the Grateful Dead were, but never cared to listen… Today?? I’m hooked.. and I FREAKING MISSED IT ALL 😢

@@stevetrivago There's still Phil n Friends and whatever Bobby and/or Mickey have up their sleeves for the moment. Trust me, it's still good. Bobby especially is better now than he ever was.
No argument. Fact
After 60 years on this planet ripping running loving and losing and just trying to work and live and not hurt anybody I have come to realize that this is about the greatest song and best version anybody ever did and dammit I miss jerry
Me also,Jerry and the Boys where what America and a Experience like no other!
Chris K,CT, USA
The best version of this tune this here band ever did
Same here
Me three
Del McCoury's version is probably my fav. Just a lot more folky/bluegrassy. Although Molly Tuttle did a version that is absolutely haunting (ua-cam.com/video/6yfMN0ELS3g/v-deo.html)
You can actually hear Bobby doing his thing with that wonderful rhythm and chording.
I know! He sounds fantastic here
he did so many inversions
This was my first show! Drove from NYC with friends in Dave's dad's Lincoln Continental. Those opening notes still give me full body chills! We were down front somewhere in there! Dylan and Petty at this show as well, what a day. Nothing like it! My 14 year old daughter now wears the t-shirt I got that day. The Wheel's turning... And yeah, this editing is bonkers. HA! PEACE ALL!
Deff got chills with the opening as well just listening it to here. I can’t imagine live! Your so lucky ❤️⚡️
Awesome memory! Dylan! Petty! Dead! 🤘💖✌
Major chills!! This was no way in 1972 though. This is Jerry of the 80s as I recall. Nice story! Take care
@@MissTinaTv 1972?
Nice 1st!
This was my 106th GD show.
Legend has it the video editor is still adding cuts to this day.
you're so right. he thinks it's artistic
He's probably still replaying the tune like we all are.
Lmao
Wonder what s/he was focused on at 4:50...
That's funny my friend. Lots o Editing
Love the wind in Bob's hair - Love Jerry being so lively and happy - What a night to catch the band - Love Jerry in any color - Phil was lobbing some bombs - Mickey and Billy keeping time - Brent in the house as well - This was the quintessential line up of the Dead - this time - Summer of '90 was off da chain -

Thanks for the post!

Well said Perry
Very bittersweet for me to listen to this and so many of my other favorite Dead songs. I have countless amazing memories of my

I try to not yet stuck in that and appreciate today, but it's very difficult on some days. Especially when I hear and see things that I was once a part of and didn't truly appreciate at the time...😊
Always impressed with the strength of Jerry’s pinky. The man barres with his pinky.
Jeff J right?? So narly💀
I know right. I've been trying to get his style down for so long that now my pinky will lock up after a few bars (Django Reinhardt style will also mess those hands up if you dont have long strong fingers)
That's what she said 😉
His great strength as a picker was he learned and was proficient on the banjo as a kid.
I got used to the pinky cuz I learned via Jerry
These boys came to play! Jerry is in fine form, best rhythm and tempo, singing with a sneaky smile!
I've only seen them in concert once. That was a weekend I will never ever forget.
This was my 106th GD show
The Dead: it's not for everyone, and that's the beauty of it. :)
Shut up meg
Like it that way lol
Luckily for us .. we are in it!! DEADHEAD till we die
“We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice REALLY like licorice.” -J. Garcia
I'm glad I was introduced to them, I listen to them everyday now. thanks to John Mayer.
Still some of the livest, most soulful music ever created. Sparkling with energy. I don't think we'll ever see its equal again, which makes me sad.
Man I was at this show! It was Dylan and Petty and the Dead! Amazing day, amazing friends! Feels like yesterday, wow! Great rockin' Cold Rain and Snow
July 3rd, 2019...here since 1989...always a warm, humble & therapeutic feeling!!! R.I.P. Jerry, Brent & Pigpen 🌞✌
GD alum since 85 listen to them everyday especially all 112 shows i caught
Most of the Dead shows I attended were at the Fillmore or the Avalon in the mid-sixties, and Pigpen was the main vocalist. He'd close the show with "Midnight Hour". Later on, it would be "Lovelight". But booze got the best of him, long before Amy Winehouse was even born. That said, the Dead were many different bands, reinventing themselves over the years. The Brent Mydland incarnation was one of the best, IMO. His B3 adds a lot to this song.
You are a lucky man
I prefer the Pig and early 70s days myself but I will take them all! Everything was good.
Edward Syrett Berkeley community theater, Avalon ballroom, Fillmore west, and a few other places hosted the dead. It seems like it was just last week this coming from an old hippie!
Pigpen was my favorite what a sweet man he was when he sang the blues the audience would come alive on harmonica and that b3 w the Lesleys
Pigpen didn't die from alcohol he had a rare blood disease that there wasn't treatment or medication for. He drank a lot to kill the pain.
this was a great day the boys opened for dylan backed by petty and the heartbreaks.....the acid was clean and strong!!!!!!!! yeah baby good times....they went into the wheel with thunder and lightin flying everywhere....truly amazing times
Quite some times indeed. I still cry watching / listening to the shows from 80s…omg I want those years back …still feel them
Nice gotta love them times
@@elishabarns3911 you'd throw rocks at those shows if you saw one from 65-72. It was downhill from there.
Some more of that Brent and Jerry magic! Love watching their chemistry! RIP boys 🌹🌹
Damn the magic between Jerry and Brent always gets me. I love seeing Jerry's laugh. The late 80s/early 90s is favorite. RIP Brent and Jerry.
Badass version of one of my favorite Dead songs - thank you for posting!
I just cannot watch Dead shows on the tube without my eyes welling up with tears. Those days were so incredible. I was introduced to myself at a show in Ventura.
This is my fav version! That riff is contagious
This was a moment in time. If you were there, I’m jealous. Listening in tune and know it was something🤯
There is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert...
Simply put... One of the best R&B songs of all time from one of the greatest bands of all time.
Why couldn't these guys have lived for ever damn it!!
univibe23 or at least until I croak.
They are & will !
Great concert, loved it. A dude was climbing on one of the stadium lights, best seat in the house.
He sounds and looks better than I thought he'd look in the summer of '86.
I'm out standing in the cold rain and snow. Melt down killer tune and so well performed and you can hear the crowd diggin' every moment of this
this is the song that hooked me in. never looked back.
Energy! Integrity! Cohesiveness! They're looking at and listening to each other! The audience is listening to them! I can hear the bass guitar clearly being inventive, melodic and driving!
I love these guys, miss 'em really
me too very much
Check out Joe Russo’s almost dead.
We still got Bobby, Mickey, Billy, DeadCo......& Phil doing his own thing.
i live every day with these boys singing to me in my head! believe - Jerry is still with us!
We'll all be together again someday
I was there, coming out from the big tarp, awesome night, circus was rocking after the show, took me 2 hours to get back to my car, but wasn't going anywhere.
grateful to have had this in my life... happy music... I remember being in the wheelchair... somewhat depressed... and listening to this... brought happy back .... and was still able to boogie in that rolling chair... yes... happy music... very grateful... ( I am out of wheelchair now) grateful for that too...
my buddy has been in a rollin chair almost a year now after an unfortunate car wreck , he got a hip replacement doing better every day cant wait to blow him away and take him to a show soon!
I was at this show. My first time seeing the Dead. Brings back a lot of memories. There was definitely something in the air that day. 😎
It's tough to make a top ten list of favorite, live Grateful Dead tunes, but I always got goosebumps and chills when they'd hit that first note of Cold Rain and Snow, then 6 to 10 minutes of dancin' singin' & swingin'!
me too :)
Such a great open (either set). An old-timey tune!
The only other that gets my blood swirling Mississippi Half-Step: then you KNOW Jerry is in a good mood.
Where'd you wrestle?
Me too! Love this song!
Literally the only band I know of that plays the same song since early 60's that can make it sound so different through out the years and still make it just as magical as it was before ..absolutely amazing
Jerry Garcia....so immensely talented, so hopelessly addicted. 😥
When stuck in my cube daydreaming of a ski trip, the Ol' Dead and this tune come to mind. Fantastic groove.
Great Band. Jerry had such a great presence on Stage.
Saw my first dead show T MSG in NYC on my 30th birthday. Been hooked 38 yrs later. Morning dew was my wedding song.
Grateful.dead are like black liquorice..not everyone likes them but the ones who do like em....really like em a whole lot! I love the grateful dead..any year ans era..but everyone has their favorites
This cut was magnificent! This coming from a very old deadhead located up here in Alaska USA baby! Not only are they dead in my life, they go with my children and grandchildren. I am so fortunate to have been a very important part of a very important musical group.

the greatest of Americans
but really Jerry what we wanted to hear around 5 minutes was more of your guitar playing not more singing
I WENT TO SEE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS IN 1973 AT JFK STADIUM THE DEAD OPENED UP FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS WHEN I SAW JERRY LIVE I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT NOBODY LIKE HIM SIMPLEY HE WAS THE BEST
A thunderstorm was getting ready to come thru. It was wicked hot that day. Love seeing shows in Buffalo.
"Going where those chilly winds don't blow" I hear ya, Jer!
Only found out today that this was not an old blues song. It came from Lomax collection of songs he found in early 1900s. Published in 1917 as "rain and snow " in "English songs from the Southern Appalachians".
I never knew that & I've been grooving on this song for decades. Thanks for the info Dave.
What a great sound! Amazing.
This song has one of the best guitar licks ever Jerry is an absolute phenomenon
Yep, I was at this show....So glad to see it here. Thanks for posting!
Wow editing on this so lame..just a lil too snippety....hmm is that a word. lol
This was my 1st show. Holy shit! We got there early Saturday and camped out. One of the greatest memories of my life
Summer Tour Dead. Love in love. So many great memories and I can keep coming back for more via the tube.
Thanks for sharing.
This song will always melt my face
My first Dead show..... such great memories (or lack thereof)...... Thanks Jerry!
Nice 1st!!
It was my 106th GD show. ❤
This is Jerry at his most unhealthy. Shortly after this show, within a week I believe, he collapsed after the RFK show. It was 100 degrees, he had an absess tooth, undiagnosed diabetes and was severely dehydrated. He very nearly died and as we all know had to essentially relearn the guitar. Merle Saunders was a great help in his rehabilitation. His legendary resonse when he awoke to a roomful of people: "I'm not Beethoven." God, I loved this man.
My english teacher from back in high school was there. Best show of '86 in my books
The Metrodome in Minneapolis was also a fine show but was only clearly audible on the field in the stands and bleachers it was tough to hear...
Jerry in Red, Trouble ahead...........Miss ya Brother! I woke up this morning dying to hear this song Thanks fo uploading babe!
I was there and it sounds better than I thought it was because a long time ago I heard the tape. Very cool to see this here!
What a party that was!
The force was strong with this one.
I was there this day in '86, amazing to recall so many years later.
Getting psyched for Sunday June 28th show at Levi Stadium.... Haven't seen a show since 2004's 'The Dead' at Mountain View w/Warren Hayes. Hoping that Jerry's vibe is present at this show, I know I will miss him no matter what.
Love! the way the Grateful Dead introduced me to this old music, they were (and still are) an epic band that we all owe so much! There covers of old blues and balleds were the best!
Saw the Dead only once- at Summer Jam in Watkins Glen, N.Y. (early '70's) Summer Jam was called the "second Woodstock". I was working at a night club in Buffalo, took a few days off and hitchhiked there. I will never forget the show- the Dead started tuning up very early in the morning, they woke everyone up, and within a half hour or so, there were thousands of people packed up near the stage. I hadn't slept the night before, so I ended up being smack dab in the middle of the crowd around the stage. And I was one of the very few who was even awake when they began to tune up! They played for what seemed like hours!
+AndyGinterBlues five hours was their norm~ i was there to witness that, and young enough to appreciate it!!
That was in 1973. the Dead with the Band and the Allman Brothers. I was there too, with about a half million others. We were in a massive traffic jam before it began, barely moving. A guy was walking down the line towards us telling everyone, "If you take that right turn just ahead you can be inside in no time, setting up your camp." The carload of us (also from Buffalo) wondered if he was telling the truth, but we said "Let's do it. We have nothing to lose!" He was telling the truth and once we made the turn we were inside, with all our stuff in something like five minutes! Things got real good soon after when the drugs kicked in and my memories have faded but I do remember having an extraordinarily good time. It rained some and the music went on and on...never stopped, really.
Lucky
LOGAN A. BOISE IDAHO ... GRIZMAN. GARCIA .. YOU CAN RING THE BELL BUT YOU CANT UNRING IT.... THANK GOD FOR THE GREATFUL DEAD
Epic show to see,historic.
Caught a lift up to this show from Albany & hitch hiked home..
Good ole Days
This is my favorite 6:00 A.M. Jam!
🎼Thanks Obray Ramsey for the original tune, thanks Jerry for this version of it & thanks Peter Rowan &
Tony Rice for their slower, really beautiful version AND thanks to whomever posted it...Much love always , Fox 🎶🎵🌹🕶
Great version of a great song. God I miss Jerry.
I was THERE. Epic. Just going to cry in the corner now...such great times.
My buddy Matt thought Garcia was singing "...and I'm going for those Chicken wings in Buffalo..." If you listen real close you may, too.
Shut up
😂 Actually think chix wings more appropriate for Buffalo...
No. Noone would.
This is a show I would have liked to have seen.Happily I went to a lot of them in California, Oregon and Arizona. I love this song!!great version!! love seeing Jerry in red!! miss him like crazy...
Jerry in red, trouble ahead!
Trapkitt made my night 😂🙌
It was" trouble ahead Jerry in Red". Garcia was clean while wearing the Red shirt. After the intervention by the band. Jerry respected there love by wearing Red. Well that's the hippie Dippie belief about the respect/Love. He wore it pretty much through the year in 1985. Of course there were exceptions .. He was Garcia.. Iko Iko all day. But the band started playing with Fire in their belly's. Not always the best vocals from Jerry but you felt the rebirth in him.. The Energy every night was incredible.. I saw 25 shows in 85 and you felt that at any night anything could happen and sometimes it did. The breakouts were awesome.. Fucking Cryptical?? Are you kidding me!! She Belongs to me..Phil starts singing.. Tom Thumb Blues .. Phil started singing.. It was good thing at that time..lol....In 86 it just continued with the Energy but the red shirt was seen less and less.. But "The band keeps playing on".. The breakouts kept coming.. Spring 86 in Hampton.." Box of Rain" "Visions of Johanna" .. Just an energetic time in the band.. I miss it everyday .
Bryan, you and me! been missing them for the last 50 years. I was 17 the first time i heard these guys, in 1967. i met them at my school where they played in 1969. followed them up to Porchester, and magically spent the weekend with Bobby. danced non-stop onstage for two nights straight! can you dig it, ha ha....i've had alot of memories of the Dead for sure!!
@@bryandelp7922 please start a tribute band called 'Delp on the Way' ;0p
Best show I ever went to, didn't get tickets and stayed outside. Foxboro stadium sometime 1989. People were just saying yes to everything and it was insane. Guy going around spraying people in the mouth with water and acid. Can confirm, it was real.
best version ever
Always one of my favorites! Such a great version.... Jerry in red, trouble ahead!
When the old man was almost dancin, you knew you were in for hottie!!! #GBE
Awesome show. Storm was coming from the Canadian side as they opened the second set. It was friggin awesome.
This is the era I loved so much - Brent and jerry are irreplaceable !! It wasn't the same without Brent and then when Jerry died that was the end of an era - I still love Dead and Co. too ,but without phil once agaain its not the same just another variation of what once was the greatest American rock band ! This really took me back to that place in time .....
I fucking love Brent
This was one of the best shows I ever been to! Right here in my own backyard, (kinda)! Hard to believe it was freaken 25 years ago tho!! I thought they played extremely tight that day. Crowd was great, cops left folks alone. They also did a Jack Straw that day (July 4th), crowd went nuts when they sang... "Leavin texas, fourth day of july, Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky."
I was happy I just found this :) Thanks to whoever posted it!!! Great stuff!!!!!
(-
hello camera man, this is not the Blair Witch Project. ha ha....wooooohaoooo! still love it!
Seriously! Love it but the editing is epileptic!
The cameramen were actually on lsd, so the concept is, "look at this, look at that, wow man"
It's not the camera man, it is the editor
Pearly Baker my epilepsy is like wtf
Grateful aya lmao
My first show in Boston 93 opened with this… hooked!
I was a tour rat and saw all those shows .Garcia bought boxes of clothes and then would wear and discard- He did a lot if not all that tour in red. We would say TROUBLE AHEAD JERRY'S IN RED! Then TROUBLE IS BACK JERRY'S IN BLACK!...@craigfuller44
+Craig Fuller no doubt he went into a coma like a week after this show and he was always wearing red,..prompting me to make a trouble ahead jerry in red,.trouble behind jerry is fine ...for spring tour 87
hiraldo mcgoo I was on that whole summer tour and I think that was the only time Jerry wore red. Maybe the last night at RFK also
@ Thomas - he wore it in 85, too. There are 85 summer concert videos where I've seen wearing red
I remember being at work seeing the good year blimp heading to Buffalo that morning and called in sick from work to and headed to this show... I was 15 and that was all she wrote, was a young and hitting all the shows I could. lol good memories
Lucky, I wish I could say "hey man I toured through 87 and 88" or something like that but sadly I'm only 24 and dead and Co. Is all I got, wonder how much tickets for those shows cost 🤔🤔
I remember the red T-Shirt - the tour expression was "trouble ahead, Jerry's in red." I drove the 8 hours to this show with my brother. Great memories. Miss you Jerry! Corby's dad
GD for Grateful Dead? More like God Damn!!!! Wow!!! 🙌🙌🙌🎸🔥🔥🎶🎸🎶☇☇☇🔥🔥🎸🎶☇☇☇
rarely post(cause its a waste off time) but Jerry gave us so much joy it is always so great to see him having fun!! Rock On Jerry!!!
glad you posted lol
Just 6 days before Jerry falls into a diabetic coma!
How I love this after all these years
that was a sweet one! thanks
I love this song
The riff at 2:50 gets me every time, it's entirely ethereal.
I’m blessed to have seen Jerry when I started shoes in 1995. I still go to see dead and company. Spirit is still alive!
meh
Matthew Meh this bitch!!!
Bobby: "Yeah, I'm gonna go with the cutoff jorts today."
Jerry was looking so cute at Farm Aid '86. Reminds me of Dead concerts in the late '80s -- so phenomenal that I've never found words to describe them.
