Before the internet, I looked forward to getting a copy of Depree's Diamond News at every show to see what the band had been playing. They were awesome.
When I was on tour in the late 80s early 90s they’d send me boxes of Duprees Diamond to hand out. I loved it- great way to meet people. I still have some of them somewhere.
@@terryatpi You know what - not that that's funny but that's funny because I was telling people - Hide yo shit going thru Jersey!!! From Jersey and like, we knew it. Sorry that happened to you!!
I wonder how many teenagers or twenty something's who don't know or have never been to a dead show were sitting at home around the country watched this MTV thing and saw this huge parking lot party and said fuck yeah I'm going when they come and that's part of the darkest days agead
@@jonathanlund590 I know because the Gratefuldead r dead but Bobby keeps it going for all that’s left of us older Heads but I’m sure they won over the young ones ! Bobby kept up with the times to keep it going so good + Phil with his everybody playing is great ! ❤️🐇🐰💀☠️⚡️🌹🕊️🌹🌏
This is awesome!!!! This video gave me some great feelings about seeing the Grateful Dead starting in 1989 , just after this. It makes me realize what attracted me to this wonderful , once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for this video!!!
Thanks for making this grate compilation! I was there in Oakland 87! Didn't see myself, but recognized a few faces in the interviews. And I was delighted to see a few moments of Indra with his flute, we used to run into him everywhere....
John, if your out there I'm so sorry man. I got so sick I just had to leave. While trying to get out I had to walk around the whole stadium in order to leave. that was the scariest thing I ever saw at a show. People where throwing a ticket booth at the doors and the state police had riot gear on. After that show the dead sent out a hand signed letter to everyone regarding crashing. They said right out if it happens again they will not come back to the east coast at all. It helped.
I watched this whole "Day of the Dead" thing on MTV back in '87. I taped it, or a lot of it, and watched it more than once. This brings back memories. Amazing what the you can find here on the Internet. Thank you for this.
1987 i was 19 and seen my first Dead show a few months earlier 3/31/87 Spectrum Was at the Dylan and the Dead at JFK Stadium in Philly a few days prior to the Meadowlands date. i believe A lifetime ago.
They're a band beyond description, like Jehovah's favorite choir... Modern day shaman, leading us in worship and teaching us how to pray... Sweat your prayers, dance your cares... and roll away the dew... And when theres nothing left to do...just smile, smile, smile! Thanks to the brave mystics like the Dead, whose inspiration moves us brightly reminding us that its all a dream... Are U Kind? RIP Jerry, Brent, Pig, Keith, and all ye others gone, but e'er forgotten.
how do you miss someone that you never met? I mean, Jerry and the guys, they resemble and embody the sixties...so much that when I listen to them, I am transported to those times. Memories, which aren't mine, suddenly affix themselves to what identity I possess. And, I become a treasure of the past mentality - where everything was pure, confusing, sacred yet stainless. To have been alive then is to be alive Now. And to be alive is to recognize those same things with where we Are...
I know a little something u will never know !? ♥️🐇🐰🌹🪽🤩🥳☠️💀⚡️🕊️🌙🥲😢😥😰🥵tears for all of the losses in the Dead family ! 😍🥰😘⭐️👽🪐🛸🚀🔥✨🌟⚡️🌙🕊️🪽on the wing of an Angel !
I remember him, I did a lot of the 80s tours, did not know himpersonally though, just remember him from the lot. Iam looking for a news spot where I was in a snippet at RFK in 89, I think I was about 19, the news asked me how I got from show to show, I bullshitted and said spare changing,,Id kill to see that clip!
The first concert shown looks like the Frost 1987. I remember that backdrop graphic behind the band. Not easy to spot myself in the audience but I was there..
I want to first thank the medical staff who kept the big man alive my first show would of been in 85 at hersey park but my bus didn't come by until 3/31/87 and its been a long strange ever since
I did have lemmings follow me so when I was backstage I had to have a big guy go out with me into the crowd but usually to go c my friend Dan Healy ! Love so much to everyone who is still alive from the early days of the dead ! But also much love to the new deadheads bears children ! ♥️🐰🐇🌹🥰😍😘☀️☠️💀🫧💧🪽🕊️🌙🌟⚡️✨👽🪐🛸🚀🔥👻💦🌈⭐️⚡️💫
Shouldve gave your pal a smack for ruining some great moments by fucking with bobbys voice in a weird attempt at ousting him! Cocaine is bad for the frontal lobe
Plus I told them not to use my name because I was scared of being to well known ! Now I wish I didn’t ! ♥️🐰🐇🌹🔥☠️💀🪽🕊️☀️👽🪐🛸🚀🌙🌟⚡️👻✨💫👻🥰😍😘⭐️love them forever ! When I die I will b with Jerry , my soulmate ! 😇💧💦🫧🌈
My first show, May 16, 1970, Hendrix was the headliner. Not too shabby, but my second show, 7/11/70 midnight til dawn 3 set extravaganza at the Fillmore East, well that one was transformative. Some day, they oughta set AI loose on the muddy tape surviving that night and restore it. You've got yourself a top 10 level Dick's Picks. No shit. I was there.
i was at the Meadowlands 1987 with Nicolas Scialiano, Freddie, Panama, forget who else. Many of meadowlands by way there were Hare Krishnas too, are did Hare Krshnas only go to football games at the stadiums? (!)
What Bill just said, The days of crashing! it made me sick. A good friend of mine at the time was almost beaten to death because of them. He was at the football game and then came to the show, While trying to get in with his ticket in his hand he was beaten by security and cops. I was wondering what happened to him. He was supposed to next to me. Then half show the lights came up and I saw him at the bottom of the stairs with two security. he was so bloody I couldn't believe it I got sick.
I was at this show at Giants stadium and it was hot man. We saw I lot of wild shit. Some people opened a fire hydrant and had it open so high that it took six people to hold one dude against the water hitting his back and then it sprayed up in the air. I'm surprised he didn't break his back. But man It was raining colors. At first I thought is was just a rainbow from the heat but as I looked around every one was in colors, The water falling down around me was so cool and slow to hit the ground.
I was there! That was when we all went over the wall to the floor at the same time! Wild! I fell right on my butt..lol...I do remember how hot it was that day...whew...they turned hoses on us on the floor, didn't they? Or was just that my imagination? 🤣
"Ignorance is Bliss" MTV's unofficial slogan! 17:25 Reverend Jim there married EVERYONE on the bus and the bus itself 20:23 Why are you wearing those shades indoors, Mickey? 23:54 Wait did Rich turn into David Lee Roth? 25:26 Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny 30:46 Jugbands would have been huge if it wasn't for rock and roll! 32:29 Face Palm
Do the right drugs and at a moderate pace, and you’ll live happy forever. By drugs I mean weed acid and or shrooms, for you sensitive deadhearts of the war on drugs.. we aren’t all just heroine addicts, we have families now
Touch of grey didn’t hasten Garcia’s demise. If anything it prolonged his life because he was working himself to death for money. In the early 80s he toured & played constantly for money to afford his almost $1,000 a day habit. He may have been sober at this specific point but he picked it back up at the end of 1990 when Brent died.
I think you mean Bob's voice. Yea I was on this whole summer tour 87. Canada's wonderland theme park and on perfectly manicured lawn it started out mellow. Got in the pavillion for second step and they put on a AMAZING scarlet-fire -estimated and what really blew minds was this SICK moter cycle space you have to listen for it ..at the show it was awesommme. The "I saw Jerry on the bumper cars!" reminded me of Hershey Park lol Anyway I could go on and on but I'm getting such amazing memories of this tour just thinking about it!! Thanks whoever put this on keep them coming!
I did christen my 17' Arima "Dead Head" only because of all the half floating logs in Puget Sound. Also because I really enjoy their music. Sure miss them fellers.
1987 was a fantastic year! I only missed 22 shows.......my best full year run.........those were the days!
I was there with ya!!! Aloha from Colorado!
I wish mann
Me too. To hell you ride
I crossed the US four times in 87..east and west coast dates and places in between
Before the internet, I looked forward to getting a copy of Depree's Diamond News at every show to see what the band had been playing. They were awesome.
Remember way back when, when the Grateful Dead world send manilla envelopes packed with Dead stuff? They were great!
Me too. I was a Set List Junkie. Set lists Set lists Set lists!!!!!!
When I was on tour in the late 80s early 90s they’d send me boxes of Duprees Diamond to hand out. I loved it- great way to meet people. I still have some of them somewhere.
I sure hope I still have all my DDNs in the dungeon in my home ...
Great to see Jerry on pedal steel!! Rare footage too :)
Yeah that was cool!
Awesome!
I spent about 25yrs listening to the early 70s stuff nonstop but somehow I've transitioned into listening to nothing but 80s anymore
I have that Grateful Dead bracelet! I was on this tour!!! Such a fun video!! My favorite… Let it Grow.
I love it that I was part of the Gratefuldead family in 1980 but met Phil + Bobby in 1978 in Springfield Massachusetts ! ♥️🐰🐇🌹🌙
1985 and up, their shows on the East Coast from Virginia up, were indescribable! The JGB shows - there are no words for them.
Same here!!! Aloha from Colorado!

😅🤣 Greetings from New Jersey!
My fave shows were 1969 -1978
Got nabbed by the blue meanies in jersey that year. It was such a fantastic year up till then. Smile 😊 smile
@@terryatpi
You know what - not that that's funny but that's funny because I was telling people - Hide yo shit going thru Jersey!!! From Jersey and like, we knew it. Sorry that happened to you!!
I am so happy that I got to go to a BUNCH of shows between 1980-1995, but it makes me miss the environment...and Jerry and Brent...BIG TIME!!! ❤✌️
I wonder how many teenagers or twenty something's who don't know or have never been to a dead show were sitting at home around the country watched this MTV thing and saw this huge parking lot party and said fuck yeah I'm going when they come and that's part of the darkest days agead

Love the "tribute" haha MTV covering the Grateful Dead..... It's an oxymoron in this day and age! Keep on truckin' my friend.
In 87 I saw them at Long Beach Arena, Ventura Fairgrounds and Anaheim Stadium

thankyou --what a wonderful trip through our youth--mule thnx ya again
Yet another document of that scene. Thanks. Dennis @2:22 having fun. Hello???
Red Rocks and Alpine '87. Great times.
The first concert shown looks like the Frost 1987. I remember that backdrop graphic behind the band. Not easy to spot myself in the audience but I was there..
a road trip and this music ..did that and love the band since..
Footage of Frost 85 and 87. I rode my bike to those shows. I wonder if there is a film of those whole shows
Ha! Bobby couldn't find the fretboard. Classic. Jerry telling people not to buy their records is pretty awesome too.
Привет из России! GD великая рок-комнда... Мне 60 лет. Слушаю их с 13 лет. Всем мира и любви!❤

This was awesome. Thanks for the upload! You're amazing! : D
Great memories
I miss it ✌️
This is fantastic. Thank you!
7-4-1987 first show. Jerry on peddle steel. Dylan/Dead
Between the beer drinking women and the naked guy that had to carry his ticket in with his teeth.... that was awesome
I'm excited
I started in the 70 s together to the shows + hitchhiked a few times ! It was always wonderful ! ☠️💀🪽🕊️💫🌙🌟⚡️✨⭐️🌈💦
Grateful Dead. Only thing to save the 80's.
Listening to tapes the whole way....Oh Yeah !
Hey Now. This is Great!! How are you?
My first show, May 16, 1970, Hendrix was the headliner. Not too shabby, but my second show, 7/11/70 midnight til dawn 3 set extravaganza at the Fillmore East, well that one was transformative.

Really well done
i was at the Meadowlands 1987 with Nicolas Scialiano, Freddie, Panama, forget who else. Many of meadowlands by way there were Hare Krishnas too, are did Hare Krshnas only go to football games at the stadiums? (!)
fun insight on Grateful people
If I'm ever on television, I don't want it to say "Academic" or "Entrepreneur." It's going to say Deadhead, for God's sake.
I met bill Graham + he taped me dancing backstage for 2 hours ! I would love to have that ? Bunny Beckman please ?
Love the cars
miss the dead,but we still keep it a live!.
Ahhh the good old days
And furthur on we go... Anyone headed to cmac this coming Friday?
Me + Dan Healy were very close friends ,I had to help him one night to get over a head ach so he could go to sleep ! ❤️🐇🐰🕊️☠️💀⚡️🛌goodnite everyone !
It was a very good year.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU, L O V E
AMAZING!
