What a time to be alive! No metal detectors or facial recognition at stadiums...no sea of cell phones stuck in the air, freedom to smoke...no $20 single-serve beers!!
I miss the Whole scene. Especially the Crowd. Crowd watching was a Blast. This Boston Dead Head isn’t the same without Jerry and Brent walking Gods Green Earth. God bless em both.
I was sitting here for a bit, thinking of what to say. Then, I read your comment and realized, I couldn't add anything more. You nailed it. Not Fade Away.
Jerry Muzak it’s not the same without looking forward to a show to go to. I miss the Shows at the Old Boston Gahden. Saw em do the whole Terrapin thing there. I was sitting rite above Jerry in The Balcony. I will never forget that. That show is on CD out there somewhere.
Go to Dead And company. Get over Jerry's passing. Get over John Mayers voice. The crowd is absolutely awesome. Full shakedown streets. Grilled cheeses , good drugs (and bad) Its the whole scene lol.
Trouble ahead, Jerry in red…. Fortunately his coma (6 days after Farm Aid) was a wake-up call. Cleaned up his diet, kicked the Persian (for a few years) and Miraculously came back stronger than ever 💪
One of the many, many benefits the Dead did through out their existence. A band full of soul and compassion... If I had a dollar for every benefit I went to in the '60s where the Dead were I could buy a good bottle of wine. A good bottle of wine.
Was there thinking what a weird set list. The fire was on high speed and it just seemed rushed. Then they announced the Farm Aid broadcast and it made sense. Great show as were all the Rich stadium shows. Great times at all of them.

Remember that, they said "don't worry, it never rains on the 4th of July" and played Cold rain and Snow.....and it started raining. The Dead, Dylan, and Tom Petty at Rich Stadium in Buffalo. I was there, right up front for a few hours.
@@mrmojorisin8752 everyone ive talked too who isnt a deadhead says “isnt that the guy who falls asleep on stage and noodles?” Hes definitely 100 underrated to the average person. I mean hes 30 something on Rollingstones top 100. He should he in the top 10 atleast
@@brandonvalentine2555 He was ranked #13. High praise. I can’t speak to the average person’s views. He’s highly regarded by guitarists and many “experts” not known as deadheads.
I was at Farm Aid II Manor Downs and this was shown live on two giant Diamond Screens placed on each side of the stage with audio through the huge speaker system. Went out national on VH1. Fabulous. The Dead were friends of Downs owner and this was their last "performance" at the race track, played there six times, starting in 1977.
Wonderful to see this. There’s another clip out there with Cold Rain and Snow. Alpine, Akron, River Bend, Buffalo, and on to DC. Summer of 86 was good, good times
Am I the only one? Do you realize they went... Wheel>Miracle>Uncle Johns Band...one of those things that you just HAD to be there. I've been to the venue, great place to watch a Dead show.
That was a good uncle johns band I feel like that song gets overlooked because of the greatest hit’s album but the Psychedelic breakdown is classic seas all the way
good catch, I didn't remember seeing them, I really don't remember much some guys had an ice chest full of Margarita early in the day You have to pace yourself and I didn't . SRV did tear it up, I think he was last to play...
Great. I didn't know they had played at Farm Aid...don't know why I didn't catch this earlier...nice show...nice video. Nice upload. Thanks to who ever put it up here from us. I was fortunate to see them play many shows at Cal-Expo in Sacramento , California when the crowds began to be to big for the some of the Bay Area. I also saw Bill Graham...walking around checking out the crowds before his accident.
...trying to find myself being escorted out during UJB, got busted taping FOB. Took more shrooms, drove to Niagra Falls and rented a helicopter to fly over the Falls during the 4th fireworks. Pilot hovered right in front of them as they went off. Unbelievable trails.. Jerry looks much better here than two nights earlier in Akron
"America is in fact an agrarian nation, let's keep it turning." -- Bob Weir. Other performers at the Buffalo show that night were 10,000 Maniacs (Natalie Merchant), Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.
I found the bus in 1985 so this brings back some good memories and goose bumps.Jerry always wore a red pocket t-shirt back then later it was a black one
G.T. Sauer I drove from Houston to Austin in the summer of 86 for Farm Aid II. The show was at the Manor Downs, just outside Austin. A live satellite feed of the Dead and Neil Young were what drew me to that show. Epic, as the young kids say
The title on this video is not right. I worked backstage at the 1986 Farm Aid at Manor Downs in Manor, Texas (near, but not in Austin), the Grateful Dead were not at the 1986 Farm Aid. This performance is from the first Farm Aid in NY in 1985. The Grateful dead did play Manor Downs twice in the 80s, but not at the Farm Aid there in '86.
The ADM/Cargill/Monsanto machine steamrolled our family farmers clean away. Valiant fight, though, Farm Aid. We are still losing to that unholy corporate triad every single day. Unstoppable, sadly.
+Daniel Weston / a cool thing I learned about tiger, it has a little secret compartment built into the back, & when it was auctioned off the millionaire who bought it opened it up and there were still scraps of budd in there ;) supposedly a true story

For 6 days before a coma Jerry sounds amazing and looks "healthy".

So much love, hard to believe it was real.
It was.
We had the best music in the mid ‘60’s - ‘80’s! So grateful.
It was a beautiful era that has gone by!
Tough key changes but man did they pull it off! I was 16 and my first Buffalo Dead show of all to come. Good times and I miss em!
...an agrarian nation.... right on bob weir for keepin it grounded
Remember this show very well man I miss Jerry and Brent 👍
Oh man, where is the rest of this?!!? for the love of all that is right in the world ... the whole set .. this is in such good condition.
They only played these 3 songs, gotta rotate artists quickly for the event
@@Alex-th9tw no they didn't i have the full broadcast. not in this quality though. maybe 75%
@@Alex-th9tw GD wouldn't show up to be hurried to play 3 songs and be rushed off stage.. they woulda just turned it down :)
@@Hazard4K oh what all did they play? I looked it up and all i could find are these ones

at the very least. (that's what i have on my personal copy)
but ok.
I was at this show .Rich st. Buffalo 86. I was 16 years old shrooming .it felt like a hundred degrees.
I was there too, also 16. Acid and MDMA
Remember that, they said "don't worry, it never rains on the 4th of July" and played Cold rain and Snow.....and it started raining. The Dead, Dylan, and Tom Petty at Rich Stadium in Buffalo. I was there, right up front for a few hours.
Is that you Eddie if so I was with you .✌✌✌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man won’t ya try just a little bit harder. That line rings true so much today 2021 good will win.Americans need a miracle now
I was there. What a cool colorful time.
Man I sure miss this!
God Bless are Farmers!!
Fricking awesome example of the synergy between the Dead and their crowd.
Jerry is a very underrated guitarist
I know what you mean but he's really not. He is held in high esteem and regard as a player and composer.
@@sjeanmacleod only by deadheads. Everyone outside that scope calls him an “aimless noodler”
@@brandonvalentine2555 Disagree. Yes, I’ve heard the noodler complaint but he’s highly respected as a guitarist.

A big a time as it gets….thanks for sharing ❤
This. Was there years before I moved out to SF from NYC. My 7 years there have me such wonderful memories
My first show!
Wonderful to see this. There’s another clip out there with Cold Rain and Snow.
Alpine, Akron, River Bend, Buffalo, and on to DC. Summer of 86 was good, good times
My first show.
So glad i found this again! Def my fav version of I need a miracle!!
Thanks for including the Drums!
1-800-Farm-Aid!
Hope y'all stay dry up at Alpine today.
Am I the only one? Do you realize they went... Wheel>Miracle>Uncle Johns Band...one of those things that you just HAD to be there. I've been to the venue, great place to watch a Dead show.
I was there faced ! Tom Petty was next. Then Bob Dylan w TP and the Heartbreakers as Dylan's band !
Listening to Greatful Dead at Farm Aid concert. Thanks for posting it. Love.
Just a correction they were playing in Orchard Park and then simulcast at Farm Aid.
That was a good uncle johns band I feel like that song gets overlooked because of the greatest hit’s album but the
Psychedelic breakdown is classic seas all the way
This is Buffalo 1986. I saw it. The Dead opened and this is the second set. first time I saw the concert on a tv at a concession area at the concert.
Illinois
The greatest!
A great version of The Wheel.
I wonder why Jerry didn't play the pedal steel guitar on live shows...he was an outstanding player.
RIP Robert Hunter. See you on the Other Side!
The musical interpretation by Garcia and the lyrics of the poet Hunter= priceless!
good catch, I didn't remember seeing them, I really don't remember much
some guys had an ice chest full of Margarita early in the day
You have to pace yourself and I didn't .
SRV did tear it up, I think he was last to play...
I was there. Summer tour. Thanks mom and dad.
Exactly!!!

They've gone simulcast on a couple different live aid shows that I know of Buffalo, NY& Madison Square garden I was at both.🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌✌✌
wow!! this is just what I needed after a long hard day at work. This fantastic clear pure video is very groovy, thank you for posting.
and here we are 5 years later and your words still ring true! Hahahaha!
Peace!

Small wheel turn by the fire and rod/ Big Wheel turn by the Grace of God/Every time that wheel turn round/Bound to cover just a little more ground.
Something to really think about.

Let's keep it turning
USA Bread basket of the world,, Glad the boys played this benefit,,,
80,000 of US there!!!
i was going round and round to like grateful dead said all in the family, went to Texas
I like Brent's "Live Free or Die" shirt!
Granite State - NH 🏔
could two guys ever have more polar opposite pants then garcia and weir in '86??
I found the bus in 1985 so this brings back some good memories and goose bumps.Jerry always wore a red pocket t-shirt back then later it was a black one
All of it
great show. wrong date for farm aid. 86 was with Dylan and Tom Petty in Buffalo.

It's possible that half of this crowd was also at Woodstock 17 years prior.
i was at this show my 4th on the 4th mean fire without the scarlet

I bet Mike Campbell was somewhere on the side of the stage watching...😏👍
Nice designer Jordash Mick
hate to post but must boast. Miracle on board!
Why is Jerry's hair brown and gray and not black and gray?
Never saw Jerry's hair that color before!
Nice! Please correct the show info above to simulcast from Orchard Park, NY - July 4 1986 for Farm Aid. Thanks for posting.
RIP Jerry Garcia
even wrecked on smack, Garcia is still Jesus
@ 2:13
Wrong info here - July 4, 1986 the Dead played at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY which was simulcasted on Farm Aid.....just sayin :)
I wonder who has Garcias cabinet now, hope it's somewhere cool as it deserves
+FortWarren Hell I take one of his picks he used :) or that guitar (I believe its called tiger)
+Daniel Weston / a cool thing I learned about tiger, it has a little secret compartment built into the back, & when it was auctioned off the millionaire who bought it opened it up and there were still scraps of budd in there ;) supposedly a true story
