87 was definitely a year of big sound. 85 and 88 also stand out, speaking for my own experiences.. it didn’t hurt that I made it to 23 shows in 87. This show was particularly fun, running into friends from work, from high school, and college. even the first and only show I had a row with the (ex) wife. Lasted the first 3 songs and all was well. Never saw that coming! Thank the GD for even playing a Man smart Woman smarter in set 2
Was there in 88 to when they pulled out Ripple for the double encore. It was beautiful. There were speakers in the hallway and the sound was great out there. When they broke into ripple there was a holy shit look on everyone's face and a bunch of people just joined hands in a big circle and enjoyed the the moment. That's what I always loved about dead shows...those moments when you just have to say YES!!! Human interaction and joy pure and simple. We all have to go back home for the mundane day to day shit but for those few hours each show it was just a true blessing. Will always be thankful for those moments....god bless the dead.
Yes, it was in the Fall tour at Capital Centre, and here is the unconfirmed story, (I was there!!! People were running around the venue crying their eyes out!!!!) ~ As the story goes, which is unconfirmed, the band was approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation with a request from a young fan dying of cancer. The Grateful Dead were asked to perform “Ripple” at their September 3, 1988, show in Landover, Maryland. The Dead did indeed break it out as a double encore along with One More Saturday Night leading into an Electric Ripple, (First time played since Oct 16th, 1981; first electric version since 4/29/71)
Every show I saw at Cap Center from 87-95 was the epitome of a Ying-Yang experience. Outside was a somewhat miserable scene with not much more than parking lot as far as you could see and aggressive cops on horses. Inside, some of the best shows I ever saw. This run of 3 was fantastic!!
Those PG County cops on horses were such a Pain in the a**. At one show I was backed against a wall with a horse's snout inches from my face. I just looked at the cop and shrugged "I've got nowhere to go?"
Hi Joeycapp711!!!! I, being a native MD/DC boy loved all the CapCenter shows, Meriweather, and naturally the RFK Runs as well!!!! Not to far away was the East Coast "Mother ship" being Hampton Coliseum in VA.!!!!I might be a native and causing me to be partial, but I put some of these shows up against a lot of West Coast shows!!!! The starting off with one of the hottest "Hell in the bucket" with all the background sound effects was so cool. I was tripping my azz off and I remember looking up and all along the roof wondering if that was thunder happening inside the building!!!! And then the motorcycle sounds at the end leading into the echo/ sounds.....I'd love to hook up with a fellow DC/MD fellow head sometime. Are you a local head? if so me and a few fellow heads are heading to Baltimore to See Billy Strings on Dec 9th, be cool to have you and your family of friends join us!!!! respond here and let's figure out how we can communicate other than UA-cam. Here is my Facebook page: facebook.com/jeff.haley.1232 !!!!! Be Well and Stay Safe my Friend!!!!!
Ok...just got to add something......I'm listening to this and am so grateful of what people post here. I see these shows that I attended and appreciate them so much...you forget a lot after thirty years...reliving them is nice...morning dew is so good. Always thought 87 was never given the props it deserved.
I have to agree with you on LISTENING TO SHOWS THAT I WAS AT. AFTER 30 YEARS THOUGH I STILL GET THE GOOSBUMPS WHEN LISTENING TO THEM THEN I GET ALL EMOTIONAL BECAUSE I MISS THE BOYS SO MUCH ESPECIALLY BRENT AND OBVIOUSLY JERRY. THAT'S WHEN THE BOAT REALLY SUNK & IT WAS REALLY OVER. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. MAN JUST LOOKING AT THE BAND AND LISTENING TO THEM LIVE AND BAKED LIKE A MOFO BRINGS OUT THE GOOSEBUMPS AND THE TEARS HAPPY & SAD HAPPY CUZ I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO OF TOURED AS MUCH AS I DID ONLY 88 to 95 but I saw a lot of shows IN THOSE EIGHT YRS AND THEN I GET SAD CUZ IT ENDED TO SOON FOR BRENT & JERRY SHIT BRENT WAS 35 AND JERRY WAS ONLY 53 SO MUCH MUSIC LEFT IN THEM BOTH. MAY THEY RIP ALONG WITH , RON MCKERNAN, KEITH GODCHAUX & AND VINCE WELTNICK. AND THANKS TO ALL THE TAPPERS. WITHOUT THEM WE COULDN'T RELIVE OUR YOUTH AND ALL WE WOULD HAVE IS OUR MEMORIES AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL BUT I BARELY REMEMBER YESTERDAY LET ALONE A SHOW 30 YRS AGO. IAM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE DEAD THEY STILL IMPACT MY LIFE POSITIVELY EVEN TODAY
The rest may have been for sad scary reasons but it paid off. I dig an occasional show that doesn't have one of the big hall of fame two song combos. Just a bunch of tunes played phenomenal at high energy.
87 Hampton, Jerry’s triumphant east coast return!!!!, Alpine valley,? Heavenly Wisconsin, Roanoke 2 nights? Mind bending, fall tour land over?? Mickeys birthday!! 87 was a great year for the dead and even better year for the heads!!! Mikey Rizzolo
This Dew is the one played a few shows before the infamous 9 18 87 MSG Dew which in my opinion is the finest modern version!! Though this one is awesome as well.
Bless You Kevin Tobin! This is my first show. With my epilepsy I have forgotten so much of my life, but thanks to you I am able to remember my first show. The only memory until now was waking up in the back of the side lot to a grey haired, long bearded man walking by saying "Doses. Fresh Dipped Doses" This show changed my life.
I finally got to take my brother and my best friend to their very first Grateful Dead show on this very night!! I was a little bit nervous that one or the other might not like everything they saw. I was so wrong about that!! As soon as the music started, the three of us jumped out of our seats and danced the night away!!! They have both seen more shows than I have. My brother went on to be a damn good taper. It is shows like this one that confirm that I will always, always love the Good Ol Grateful Dead!!!!! These were the good ole days for sure!!!
Gentlemen have returned to your comments. I agree that Maine show is astonishing. So does everyone. I have about 25 Dews that are really truly Godly each for various reasons. I am a huge fan of the 77 Sportatorium Dew and the msg 87 for obvious reasons of grand masterhood. No God, no Buddha could do more. But tonight I listened to this on excellent speakers loud enough to blow out single pane glass and this is on par and equal to the best Dew ever played whatever that may be. My feeling is the rest of the band isn't quite as good here as they are at MSG for this particular song- but that's no insult. Again that msg dew was beyond fan favorite. I looked into my highest mind during that for someone, something, some time, some Buddhas of God or anything above to offer that to and found no one higher in any reality or universe or dimension than Garcia. But after tonight I am fully able to say this is equal. He played the shit out of it. He vocals are excellent. It's just he msg has that little extra kick. There are some immaculate Dews after 1991. This song he kept making it meet new levels of perfection. Sorry long but I agree with all of you.
Cap shows were always awesome! A certain extra fervor. They did a run every year that overlapped Phil's , and my birthday. ; as a kid it felt like they came close,geographically, for the purpose of reaching certain, individual souls. An amazing Birthday gift. I did not miss one show since 1987. Thanks dad❤

What an outstanding show. I've been listening exclusively to 1970s shows for a while, and it's wonderful to see Jerry so energetic and alive in the 80s. The drums are superb throughout, and superbly recorded. Space is way out there, and Jerry even gets poignant when Bobby hints at Spanish Jam. It's not the perfunctory Jerry plays through an echo for five minutes of later years. And the set lists -- what more could you ask for? This is the Dead's swansong, after he recovered from his coma, not doing dope, right on the borderline that separated the genuine scene from the Touch heads, drunken fistfights in the parking lot (!), nitrous balloon trucks, the tripling of the crowd size, with everyone wanting a miracle ticket, and all the other horrors that it sank into. I just love this, and listen to it over and over. So much thanks.
I was at this show on a belated honeymoon with my first wife, but this is my first time seeing it. We stayed in the halls whenever they piped the soundboard mix into speakers set up in the halls during the shows we saw during 87-89 period. Serious dancers in the halls during those days.
I scheduled a business trip from California to Philadelphia so I'd be in the area for the 3 shows in Landover and the Madison Square Garden 5 that followed. I enjoyed all of the shows from both runs...that was my only time seeing the Dead at the Cap Centre but many times at MSG. This video reminds me of why we did everything we could to go to as many shows as we could.
@@dougspivey8396 I only went to the Landover & MSG shows. Work consisted of a short meeting in Philly right before Landover and then a couple of short days in a NJ office during the MSG run. I stayed with my parents in NJ. Great all the way around!
Wow what a show and that’s one of the best 2nd sets I’ve ever heard. At least it’s my kind of 2nd set!!! Incredible video with incredible sound quality
Thanks for adding. I think i exhausted the supply of Brent shows on youtube, then saw this one pop up. After watching some 90's shows for awhile, damn. Jerry is on point. Playing notes that just hit ya in the ears and the pit of your stomache at once. Music that makes ya crazy
my bday show, we came from out west did the whole tour , pretty sure i have masters of these shows , patched in with a buddy from NJ ...that one note , and you know it's the DEW ! 🙏🏿 with Jer , every note mattered ..💚
Captures them better than I've ever heard.....astounding video too.....upload it everywhere pretty please....god bless superlative audience tapes......well done....very well done all around.....thank you very much
87 was good... playing w other acts... Dylan... they seemed to be putting more attention into their playing... just rocked out to the Dylan tune and two of my fave 1st set songs...loser, and ramble on rose... sounds great, good mix, sounds like all cylinders are rollin... thank you for sharing and caring..
Watching this and nothing against Mayer, but Jerry had so much stage presence and charisma and with hardly moving an inch And, was in the moment, finding the feel, groove and building on it He was so fucking awesome and on so many levels
Your comparing an ascended master to a kid. It can't be done. One is God. The other a guy. One came and made the pure land visible on Earth. The other copies licks. One gave his life to benefit humanity in profound ways equaled only by the greatest Mystics, saints and prophets to ever appear on Earth and he wrote the music that became a liberation upon hearing. The other copies the sound without understanding the profundity of the enlightened activity being who originated it. One is Buddha. The other is some dude. Just sayin.
The sheer gravitas of Jerry was unbelievable. At 62 years of age and having travelled greatly and seen so much of humanity, I have yet to meet another human who radiated palpable greatness like he did.
The Cap Centre was imploded on 12/15/2002. After it fell, they asked the chief demolition engineer how this job compared to other large buildings. He said it was the easiest building he ever demolished. "It fell like a house of cards". When asked why, he said it was because of what happened on 9/12/87. He cited what occurred between 2:00:55 and 2:03:55 in this video. It weakened every concrete support beam in the place. True story! I was there and saw the concrete buckle during that 3 minutes, so I know the story is true. It's the 2nd best Dew after 5/8/77.
With the passing of Bill Walton this week, this was the show that Rick Carlisle claims Walton helped sneak him in. It was mentioned during the post-game of last night's T'wolves/Mavericks game.
I was there all 3 nights with my dear friends Tony peops, and Bobby “ beetle” Bailey, 3 nights in a rain soaked, moldy tent was heavenly , but we got in all 3 nights!!!! Mikey Rizzolo
one of my favorite shows. Mickeys Bday in the 4th row friday, this saturday and la bamba sunday. Very good 3 show run. TRIPPING BALLS for this one. Peaked magically for 2d set
Who the F downvotes this? Anyone who was there, is insanely psyched to be able to relive what was an amazing night, and your random deadhead is going to know right away this was a topnotch show for '87. The only thing I can remember about the show was the Tom's Thumbs Blues as it was one of my favorite tunes and Phil sang. Amazing that I don't remember the Dew as that's one of the best renditions of all time.
Don't know if it was this run...think it was 88..cops on horses were bullying their way through the crowd practically nockin people down....very disturbing...then the chant 'dose the horse...dose the horse'...cops were not amused. Shows at cap center were always very good despite of heavy handed security. One of the last one I attended my friend and I were wanting to smoke this joint but this young usher chick was standing right behind us so finally I asked her if she would mind too terribly if we get high....don't want to you get in trouble with the boss....she laughed and said no that her brother smoked...so we smoked half of it I gave her the rest to take home to her brother.
I was at the Cap Centre for the March 1990 shows, and the cops were riding their horses through the crowd and looking for trouble that year too. Just before one of the shows, my buddy and I saw a female cop haul off and punch her horse in the face while it was still in its trailer. We instinctively took about a step and a half over there with "Hey, what the fuck?!" getting ready to launch its way out of our mouths, when we stopped, both looked down at how we were dressed, and realized that it was basically either shut up and walk away or end up floating face-down in the Potomac. Suffice it to say, we opted against that Potomac thing. Great shows, though! ;^)
PG County cops were awful. I am not sure which show but I remember one time when they are riding right through the crowd, totally aggro, and I was backed up against a wall staring a horse in the face from a few inches. I had nowhere to go and just stood there as if to say, "next move is yours."
Thx Kevin!! You've made many huge contributions to our culture. Yrs ago on Jerome's Place this guy was making 5.1 DTS shows. I lost all my shows I had from that time. Do you know who made those DTS shows? Thx again for all ya do
I get it too Rusty! Back in the day I had walls of Cassettes of probably at least 400 to 500 shows. Thank God for this age in time, because 8 years ago My house was burnt to the ground by a sad stated human being! I had tons of old mail order ticket stubs, rare 1st edition Posters framed, I had 14 Signed albums by the whole band, I had 2 guitars signed by Jerry, one was an acoustic that he actually miss-signed with "JGarcia", which was how he signed his actual artwork. I could go on and on of hundreds of artifacts dating back to my first show; Baltimore May 26th, 1977. Ah well, thank God no one was hurt in the fire, but I had so much that was irreplaceable .... but now here we are, in an age where all the music can be replaced, and most with unbelievable sound quality,,,,, Be Well Rusty, and Please stay safe my Fellow Deadhead Friend.....
@jgarcia1ful sorry to hear about your house/relics! "We will survive!" It's amazing that there's so many new fans and like Jerry wanted, the music was built to last. Hope things are good for you my friend!
The one summer show I caught wasn't up to the spring Hampton run I saw. But these Fall Landovers were great ~ this one being the "one" : ) Fall Spectrum was a nice run, too (I didn't see the Spring ones there), but not as solid as Landover.
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l It was a weird day for me, and I missed the first half of the Dead's long set. So I'm not quite impartial. I do remember a great Looks Like Rain and a hot Terrapin.
U know by now how much these mean to me personally because of being friends with them so long ago while Jerry + Brent was still with us ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹☠️💀🥰😍🥳🫶🏼✌️🤩😵💫😢💖💝broken heart until I die to b with Jerry as a ghost ! 👻
I think the music is excellent. I'm missing the deathsad Sensitive thre You're telephone, it doesn't work well. I've been sending a dead message to ray. It's still worthwhile
TOUGH ticket. I saw about 50 shows from '85 to '95 and I believe this was the last time I showed up without a ticket and still got into the show. Security were dicks, tried to keep curtains pulled across the portal openings to the outer concourse area. Imagine that? At a Dead show. I remember hearing some Head say worst security outside of that East coast venue [Brendan Byrne/Meadowlands??] where they killed that Adam Katz dude (allegedly)

This was my first show! By 1995 when Jer checked out I had been some 75 shows...
Word see you at the jubilee

Truckin into Miracle into Dew is just chills man. Cap was THUNDERING!
It’s awesome when u know a dew is coming. And you still are excited. I need a miracle….!!!

Thanks to this video (and the legions of tapers), IT STILL IS. And always will be.
Best Dew of 87!
Favorite dew, thanks for posting!
Check out Augusta, ME from '82, also one of Kevin's vids.... insane!

Your comparing an ascended master to a kid. It can't be done. One is God. The other a guy. One came and made the pure land visible on Earth. The other copies licks. One gave his life to benefit humanity in profound ways equaled only by the greatest Mystics, saints and prophets to ever appear on Earth and he wrote the music that became a liberation upon hearing. The other copies the sound without understanding the profundity of the enlightened activity being who originated it. One is Buddha. The other is some dude. Just sayin.
The sheer gravitas of Jerry was unbelievable. At 62 years of age and having travelled greatly and seen so much of humanity, I have yet to meet another human who radiated palpable greatness like
he did.
@Fred Jaminson I lived 4 miles from where they did the Santa Clara Fare Thee Well show with Trey, and I had ZERO interest in attending!
You can bet Mayer would like nothing more than to be in the front row watching Jerry sing and play. Loser and Dew are a clinic in musical gravitas.
Cant replace Garcia With ANYBODY
The Cap Centre was imploded on 12/15/2002. After it fell, they asked the chief demolition engineer how this job compared to other large buildings. He said it was the easiest building he ever demolished. "It fell like a house of cards". When asked why, he said it was because of what happened on 9/12/87. He cited what occurred between 2:00:55 and 2:03:55 in this video. It weakened every concrete support beam in the place. True story! I was there and saw the concrete buckle during that 3 minutes, so I know the story is true. It's the 2nd best Dew after 5/8/77.
Great show! Loser is just superb, Jerry looking fit and energetic throughout. Nice work!
And he's on-point and in fine voice too.
He was off the H
Smokin' Loser. One of the best IMO.
Good show, high energy, 87 was a good year, saw more shows that year than any other, around 17 or so. Keep up the good work!
I really want to thank you for sharing this 😊 I am lucky for many things and you are one!!!
love late 87
My first show and pretty damn good one at that!
My first show as well! 🤡
41:45 watchin Jer groove as Brent solos makes me v happy (fav part is when he looks up at the drummers)
also, love watching all the stuff jerry does while Bob sings on Samson, so great to see, thx
Can't go wrong with Hey Pocky Way 😀
@@davidgiles6856 RTFO!!!!
fantastic and thank you, DEW!!!
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks for another Gem, Kevin! Another great show I had little memory of. :-)
The Grateful Dead brothers was a family who stuck it out & stayed together until death to us part, a marriage made in heaven celebrated in magical 🎶
wow, amazing. video of my favorite dew attended. such thanks.
Thanks, Kevin!
Thanks KT for adding this! I was there, my 2nd show!
Miracle>, forward....aw yeah.
Thank you and great stuff. But goddamnit UA-cam, stop interrupting Jerry’s Loser solo for your commercials.
The Dead kcufing cooking on Gas! And I've seen them do that before! Great post; almost . . . Unbeatable!
One the best dead shows that ever happened imho.
This and every other show I was at are the best shows that ever happened!
Did you see
I love it when Phil messes up the lyrics on Tom Thumb Blues!! Jerry shakes his head!!
"sail away from me"
This was the beginning of the MEGA Dead era.
This show is a fine example of set lists at dead shows really meaning nothing. Nothing remarkable here yet smoking hot. Best dew ever imo too
i was born only six days earlier. Fantastic show! Thanks Kevin!
With the passing of Bill Walton this week, this was the show that Rick Carlisle claims Walton helped sneak him in. It was mentioned during the post-game of last night's T'wolves/Mavericks game.
I was there all 3 nights with my dear friends Tony peops, and Bobby “ beetle” Bailey, 3 nights in a rain soaked, moldy tent was heavenly , but we got in all 3 nights!!!! Mikey Rizzolo
Bobby really flips on these 87 Bucket's
I was at this show.......epic night.....
They Did Ripple Acoustic the 2nd night
God bless you Kevin for sharing this with us all 🎱🪄🔮🎸
Sound is Amazing!!
one of my favorite shows. Mickeys Bday in the 4th row friday, this saturday and la bamba sunday. Very good 3 show run. TRIPPING BALLS for this one. Peaked magically for 2d set
Love the Dew
Fantastic footage and sound.
Best sounds good 👍
Bravo!!!
Fall '87 was smokin
87 was smokin'.
Who the F downvotes this? Anyone who was there, is insanely psyched to be able to relive what was an amazing night, and your random deadhead is going to know right away this was a topnotch show for '87. The only thing I can remember about the show was the Tom's Thumbs Blues as it was one of my favorite tunes and Phil sang. Amazing that I don't remember the Dew as that's one of the best renditions of all time.
Not even finding out today that Tucker Carlson was a huge head (where'd he go wrong) could diminish my enjoyment of this show
Go easy its all good
You put a lot into
The parking lot was miserable at that great venue! I saw my first Dead Body at age 16 Ugg! Love the sound though great acoustics!
Oh that Loser is perfect.
Edit: Ship of Fools is more than perfect
Best Ship o Fools I’ve found. Brent’s keys perfectly set Jerry up for “I won’t leave you DRIFTING DOWN!”
Don't know if it was this run...think it was 88..cops on horses were bullying their way through the crowd practically nockin people down....very disturbing...then the chant 'dose the horse...dose the horse'...cops were not amused. Shows at cap center were always very good despite of heavy handed security. One of the last one I attended my friend and I were wanting to smoke this joint but this young usher chick was standing right behind us so finally I asked her if she would mind too terribly if we get high....don't want to you get in trouble with the boss....she laughed and said no that her brother smoked...so we smoked half of it I gave her the rest to take home to her brother.
I was at the Cap Centre for the March 1990 shows, and the cops were riding their horses through the crowd and looking for trouble that year too. Just before one of the shows, my buddy and I saw a female cop haul off and punch her horse in the face while it was still in its trailer. We instinctively took about a step and a half over there with "Hey, what the fuck?!" getting ready to launch its way out of our mouths, when we stopped, both looked down at how we were dressed, and realized that it was basically either shut up and walk away or end up floating face-down in the Potomac.
Suffice it to say, we opted against that Potomac thing.
Great shows, though! ;^)
PG County cops were awful. I am not sure which show but I remember one time when they are riding right through the crowd, totally aggro, and I was backed up against a wall staring a horse in the face from a few inches. I had nowhere to go and just stood there as if to say, "next move is yours."
Awesome Cassidy
tom thumb starts at 33.20
Got in the night before and the night after. Was out in the lot crowd for this one. Still had a ball.
Just grooving
The switch from pick to fingers and back is pretty cool at 35:50
Kev the sound is a gift not to mention the set list! Happpy Holly holli!
Best Loser, Ship and Dew of 87.
The "Spinning Train" during drums almost made me lose my shit completely!
Mighty Swell Mighty Swell!
thank you
Killer ship o,,,,,rare sooo good
This is the Ship I rate all others against. Great version!
smokin' hell in a bucket sheesh.
morning dew
Thx Kevin!! You've made many huge contributions to our culture.
Yrs ago on Jerome's Place this guy was making 5.1 DTS shows. I lost all my shows I had from that time. Do you know who made those DTS shows?
Thx again for all ya do
I get it too Rusty! Back in the day I had walls of Cassettes of probably at least 400 to 500 shows. Thank God for this age in time, because 8 years ago My house was burnt to the ground by a sad stated human being! I had tons of old mail order ticket stubs, rare 1st edition Posters framed, I had 14 Signed albums by the whole band, I had 2 guitars signed by Jerry, one was an acoustic that he actually miss-signed with "JGarcia", which was how he signed his actual artwork. I could go on and on of hundreds of artifacts dating back to my first show; Baltimore May 26th, 1977. Ah well, thank God no one was hurt in the fire, but I had so much that was irreplaceable .... but now here we are, in an age where all the music can be replaced, and most with unbelievable sound quality,,,,, Be Well Rusty, and Please stay safe my Fellow Deadhead Friend.....
@jgarcia1ful sorry to hear about your house/relics! "We will survive!" It's amazing that there's so many new fans and like Jerry wanted, the music was built to last. Hope things are good for you my friend!
hey pocky way jam!
Saw the spring 87 shows. Amazing...saw them later that summer and it was not as good..Still alwYs,had fun in parking lot 🎶🎵
The one summer show I caught wasn't up to the spring Hampton run I saw. But these Fall Landovers were great ~ this one being the "one" : ) Fall Spectrum was a nice run, too (I didn't see the Spring ones there), but not as solid as Landover.
@@MrSnappy67 JFK 1987 was SHIT HOT
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l It was a weird day for me, and I missed the first half of the Dead's long set. So I'm not quite impartial. I do remember a great Looks Like Rain and a hot Terrapin.
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Brent!!!!
Loser second song in was always GREAT
My 100th show......up until sunrise.....
i mean is that considered a "good" morning dew ?!
holy crap..
U know by now how much these mean to me personally because of being friends with them so long ago while Jerry + Brent was still with us ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹☠️💀🥰😍🥳🫶🏼✌️🤩😵💫😢💖💝broken heart until I die to b with Jerry as a ghost ! 👻
After show at the hotel. Tony flushed everything down the toilet floors the floor below .Didn't sleep much back then. Thanks to Paublo Escobar
The captain 😊
revitalized and really cooking
They mailed that one in. They can't all be barn burners.
jer was so supmpathetic w Phil .during his song...
Great show! Too bad they’re sneaking ads into it now :(
I think the music is excellent.
I'm missing the deathsad Sensitive thre You're telephone, it doesn't work well. I've been sending a dead message to ray.
It's still worthwhile
Smoker✨️✌️🙏
first show was cap center 81 or 2 can't recall cheap tickets no sell outs only true heads
TOUGH ticket. I saw about 50 shows from '85 to '95 and I believe this was the last time I showed up without a ticket and still got into the show. Security were dicks, tried to keep curtains pulled across the portal openings to the outer concourse area. Imagine that? At a Dead show. I remember hearing some Head say worst security outside of that East coast venue [Brendan Byrne/Meadowlands??] where they killed that Adam Katz dude (allegedly)
