When we lose an artist, we don't cry because we knew them personally. We cry because they helped us know ourselves. Thank You Jerry 💔
Listening to Jerry sing this. It's almost as if he knew. He sounds tired, yet so energetic. Soulful. Heartfelt. And this is what he left us with. This was his message. He knew. And he was telling us this.
Absolutely brother. Gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes everytime ...
I believe this also. Subconsciously he knew. He didn't flub when he sang "last muddy river" it was a message directly from his soul.
It's what happens when you give yourself to something so completely that you never quite get control back over yourself
😢
SAD - He died exactly one month later on August 9th.
what id pay to give him a big hug that night.
I was 19yo (8-2-75)I drove with 2 girls, Amy S. and Rene J from Detroit to this show. I bought beer with a fake ID inside Soldier field and remember the opener perfectly. I then scaled the wall down to main floor where a big security guy asked for my ticket stub. I handed it to him and he kept it and told me to get back to my seat pointing at the stairs. I asked another security guy if he could get my ticket stub back for me. He pointed at the big guy and said laughing "him?, you're lucky to be still IN here." I'm so lucky I got to see the whole show. Afterwards, while walking leaving the show I asked some people if I could buy someone's ticket stub. One guy sold me his for $4. I still have it and treasure it. What a time!!!

I was there. We created a circle outside the venue at 4:20 holding hands. It was truly a magical show. Somehow out of 60k people in the venue I was right near my hometown taper who turned me on
Sitting here, reminiscing, listening intently deep I swear the first go around of the chorus Jerry sings “I will walk alone by the LAST muddy River”.. without a doubt gave me chills. Miss you Jerry!
Definitely sounds like he says last :(
I hear it too. It's clear
Garcia/Hunter - the great symbiotic musical and artistic relationship. We were just so very, very lucky to have had them in our time, and to witness, and partake of, the goodness that they spread and shared. 'Yes Men, It can Be Done' said the title of their handout at their 1972 Wembley shows. Well, it could, and the Grateful Dead did it. Not saints, not Buddha's, just regular fucked up guys like the rest of us, but they rose to the heights and polished the stars for us. What more can a working man do? Thank you all, wherever you are.

I don’t care what anyone thinks about this Jerry nailed So Many Roads, and Black Muddy River and possibly thought knew that this was the last time he was gonna be on stage
Patrick Meechan I think it was his swan song.
Anyone can die at any time. Jerry was trying to get clean for the fall tour; hardly the actions of someone who thought he was dying.
@@AbeBSea he told the band that he knew he wasn’t going to make it to the end of they year.
He literally missed his lyric and sang "by the last muddy river." He must have knew his time was coming.
Instant chills and an overwhelming feeling of loss and of unconditional love.....
You spoke the words as I was thinking them. Good one Robby. Smile, dont cry.
I was there.. 14 years old. Most amazing experience of my life.
The Dead were one of the most fascinating bands I ever heard. A live Grateful Dead show was a mystical experience. There was even a vibe of peace and love in the parking lot. The Dead remain one of my all time favorite bands. I miss Jerry. Atleast we still have the music. With Dave Picks cd releases we get to relive Grateful Dead shows of the past. Long live the Grateful Dead!
My 1st time at a music venue was Golden Gate Park in 1968. Family picnic with out of state relatives
I wandered , looking for a bathroom(LOL). Heard the music play and followed that wonderful noise.
I was 12 years old.
Been on the bus since then.
At 67, and so many roads wandered, truly blessed that day so long ago.
This song hits the mark now in so many ways.
He knew he wouldn’t be around much longer and he totally snuck that “last muddy river” in there.
Absolutely heartbreaking. I think we all knew we were saying good bye to Jerry and would never see him again in this lifetime. He sang his life out and left us.
He Truly Did Sing His Heart & Soul Out at Every Show, And Man Does He Make That Guitar Sing 🎸;) (~);}
Yeah, he starts out with, "I will walk alone, by the LAST muddy river." He says Black Muddy River through the rest of the song, as it is written, but he begins with "the LAST muddy river." I believe he was consciously aware of his imminent departure, and this was his Last Show. So very much Love! Love, James David Blair
He didn't leave you Wolff pull yourself together. He is the leader of the dead. He will escort you to heaven. Peace and love everybody.
This is a long shot but maybe he was just high and screwed up the words
😂😂😂😂
no
I remember exactly where I was standing when I heard he had passed. I burst into tears...so thankful for his light...❤Jerry
I read it in a newspaper. My Dad died 6 months earlier that year. Heavy year. I was 16.
I was in Sedona. Recovering from what life had thrown my way. I went down to the edge of Oak Creek and remembered the good times following this man and his music.
Never felt more blessed or more broken hearted.
Thanks , Jerry, for a real good time.
My heart aches that Jerry was hurting, that this was nearly 25 years ago, and that I was born after Jerry died. I’m 19 and would give anything to have seen him. Gonna be a long life ahead, cant imagine how tough this will be watching this in 50 years.
Isaiki7114 Hugs bro. I feel you and how blessed we are to have all the recordings ✌️💕🌞. You can listen to Jerry playing for years and years to come and all the musicians he influenced.....one day after this pandemic, we shall se them again. Plus his brothers still play too. Hugs❤️
Isaiki7114 I feel the same way I was 14 and I hate myself for not sneaking out and going there
I was 23 when Jerry passed. It was a sad time.
Isaiki7114 I agree SO MANY ROADS
Isaiki7114 make sure the music never stops, kid. I’ve loved Jerry since 1968. I cried when he died. And recently I cried when Bob Hunter died. “The music never stops.” ✌🏻✌🏻
last muddy river....
that's what I picked up to rob at 1:52 was that jerry's way of sneaking in his goodbye
Rob Gersna and Dream me a Song of my own
@@D3dh3d66 it totally was. Jerry knew his time was growing short. One month later 😕😕
@@Jakedadopemane and at the end he says “And stones fall from my eyes instead of years” - instead of “instead of tears”
roll on forever....
This tears my guts out.
hal9000lovesdaisy Happy and Sad ones I will never be in CHURCH again
I was at this last show and listening back to this brings tears to my eyes in a beautiful way. Jerry was one of the great one’s to walk this earth. Almost thirty years ago, crazy.
Id give anything to hear that voice... "just one more time"....
So hard to watch. He struggled so hard through this song. Acualy through almost every show towards the end. He gave it hell but his body just couldn't do it anymore. Even with a teleprompter in front of him he couldn't get the words right. The world misses you Jerry. We need you now more than ever
He got the words wrong? I would not have known as I am not a dead fan,, maybe he preformed it just the way he wanted to. RIP Jerry
My mom called for the encore, when the crowd was silent she screamed her favorite song: black muddy river...
@@allanz00 He did not get the words wrong! I've read the actual lyrics along with this so many times. I think he missed one or two trivial words which still might have been his choice. He did just fine on this.
@@chefboyare_c Hell yea! Thank your mother for me!
Amen to that...the world was a better place when Jerry was alive.
I was there. I cried my eyes out. We all knew it was the end. Rumors of Jerry going into treatment. The gate crashers. Crazy time
I MISS SHAKEDOWN
My first Black Muddy River!!!!!! Me and my friend showed up to the hotel room with 1 ticket for the first night and 1 ticket for the 2nd night. Of course, we wanted to both go on the same night but I told him....don't stress it. It'll work out. Being in downtown Chicago, we cab'd it to the show the first night. As soon as the cabby let us out, no joke, someone came by barking "Night 2 for Night 1!". We traded and hung out the first night outside. We partied and took a cab back to the hotel and were able to be at Jerry's last show the next day. It was my twelfth. His first. A 45 minute fireworks display to end the show. I grieve and celebrate to this day!
Always the last song I listen to before the end of the night. Sipping a beer feeling the vibes. Absolutely love jerry.
The sound of a man who had seen many many summers
A man baring it all to those who love and adore him. Giving every last bit there was to give..... Love you Jer
I will walk alone by the LAST muddy river. *tear*
Jerry's light will never fade. Thank you for everything you brought to this world, you are truly missed and will never be forgotten.

Soon You Will Not Hear His Voice..

Deadhead993 Church was Over for my life
@@Jakedadopemanewhat guitar was jerry playing for BoR?
I was there still have an un ripped ticket ! This was always my favorite song ! Miss you alot Jerry Peace up there !
im in tears listening to this and i cant thank jerry enough for his selflessness. thank you jerry. i miss you every single day.
Cant listen to this without a flood of emotions. Makes me cry every time. This time in my life had so much meaning and the tone of Jerry’s voice with the lyrics is almost saying that all good things come to an end sometime. Roll on muddy river no matter how far or wide...
Same here, the river metaphor that endures across cultures and time.
We have to do what Bob said Jerry would want us to do. Send that love and light he sent us, and send it out all the time, to everyone, everywhere. Be kind. ❤️💔 Miss you Jerry. More than words can tell. Thank you for everything you did. You changed the entire world.
my mom and dad both were at this concert but didn’t know each other at the time - my moms first and last show while it being my dads probably 200+ show. being born and raised a deadhead myself now, i can’t imagine the emotion they must have felt hearing this live… if i only had a time machine :’( rip jerry we all love you so much
His voice sounds so good and peaceful here.
My last dead show I shared it for someones first!
1995 summer tour was the one I did solo and a (rarity) sober. Grateful I did.
"always a hoot.. always a hoot"
It's impossible for me to make it through this version of this song, it's too much
whiskey tree agree. way to sad to see an old and beloved friend dying inch by inch in front of you. Soul crushing seems to be the only words that fit.
Let it out brother it's what Jerry would love
God bless you for posting this...what a sad day it is still. But happy we get to forever his voice RIP Jerry.
Today is 8/9/19 😞
Jerry has changed my life and he was gone before it started. His soul will live forever through his music
Much love Brother. . me too was 3 when he Passed. . (~);} NFA
The sound quality is too good to be true
I find this song so comforting, like a blanket. It's almost like a hymn.
Man I cry every time I see this since I know that this is the last song that Jerry will ever sing on this earth. I’m sure he is singing up in heaven with all the greats.
Box of Rain was the last song played. What a long time to be gone and short time to be there
@@robertduggan2085 box of rain was the last, but Phil sings it. This was the last one SUNG by Jerry
Soulfully,love you still Jerry. Thanks for this video Jake.
Not A Problem, That's What It's All About Brother (~);}
R.I.P. Mr. Garcia
“Always a hoot” miss you, Jerry 🥀
Throughout my life, I loved Summers, except this one...
This summer changed my life and stole the last of my youth. I never felt truly young again after 1995
Brother, same. It's good to know I wasn't the only one whose life was upended that summer. This song brings me back to it & esp this recording. Man, gut wrenching.
Saw Sierra Hull play this at the Ryman last week. Wept like a baby
I never met Jerry, never saw him live, he died 7 years before I was born. I feel like he knew me so well though, when ever I’m sad Jerry has been there for me. I miss him so much
I’ve only recent gotten into the Grateful Dead this past year after growing up listening to Pink Floyd, dire straits, etc. from my Mom. Always knew in the back of my mind there was a reason this band had such a huge and dedicated following but never put much thought to it until I started listening to some GD and I found the more I listened the more I NEEDED to hear. I know they will never make music like this again but that’s why different artists just need to make sure they keep the sounds of the dead alive. Truly a once in a lifetime group of musicians
I couldn't even get through this whole video, it just breaks my heart. He looks so old and tired, the road and drugs took such a toll on him. To think he passed less than a month after this concert, it's just so sad. I truly loved that man and miss him so much. I am so blessed to have seen the GD and JGB shows, I cherish my memories of those days.
I was there. This (in retrospect) felt like he was saying farewell. I get that feeling from that night's performance of So Many Roads as well We miss you Jerry. You gave all you had.
So the first dead song my mom heard was black muddy and she instantly fell in love... many years later she went to this show and when the crowd went quiet she gave it a shot and yelled it out for jerry to play... the rest is history.
I was born 7/9/85... roll muddy river!
Was at this show and us old tour kidds knew that this was it. That summer tour was crazy so much negativity in the lot and we all knew this was it. He gave us one more gem to listen to that night. The boys actually told papa bear not to even sing this song. Miss ya brother have fun on the second part of your cosmic journey my friend. Now all we can do is SMILE SMILE SMILE 😢😢😅😅.
We were in Noblesville the weekend before this. August hit extra hard, after these last shows. I remember taping this when it aired on "the Grateful Dead Hour".
Yeah I'm going to listen to it again
She shed tears during that moment. Tears of joy. Tears of everything.
Last muddy river ❤️
God this tore my heart out
I had front row both nights, well general admission what a joy
Perhaps the most eerie of revelations came from this night. If you have the SBD recording you can hear the band slow to leave the stage after Box of Rain. Bob says "well I guess that's it..see you in the Fall...if we're all alive". Jerry dies a month later. He plays his weakened heart out during So Many Roads and this Black Muddy River...went to both nights and got up really close on Saturday. Jerry was in bad shape. He couldn't pick his head up off of his chest, couldn't read the prompters and missed lyrical sections of even the most classic tunes like Sugaree. The fact that he was able to be vulnerable and still step up to the mic shows just how much spirit was still oozing out of his soul...peace Fat Man...RIP
Matthew Stamm Brother I agree. That Last So Many Roads was like Gospel and the only time Jerry includes
" Lord". Also covering Talking Head" Take me to the River" then his ashes get SPREAD in the Ganges River??? No mode Church
It was his love and passion for music that made this the best. His heart was poured out in these last shows
I remember him being so fucked up he couldn't remember the words to his songs, the crowd thought it was funny, but nobody was laughing a few weeks later.
It was the taper who said that...but still
24 years ago today 😞. Miss ya Jerry.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that''s real.
Mama, put my guitars in the ground
I can't play them anymore
That long black cloud is
coming down
And I feel like I'm knocking on
heavens door.
this band will role on forever
"Always a hoot".....thank you Jerry for everything!!!!
Thanks for posting this. This is one of my favorite songs I was lucky enough to see them in 94 in LA.
This kills me every time I hear it. RIP Jerry & Brent.
Awesome
Wow that was really tough...and incredibly beautiful of course. One of their best, late-stage, songs for sure, and a deeply heartfelt performance
Yea Thanks Mann. . And Yea BTW Im Only 22 & Obsessed WIth Jerry And Would Give ANything In This World To Have Been Able To See The Master At Work (~);}
Thanks for posting. I saw the Dead with Jerry many, many times and would gladly share them with you if I could.
I cry every time I hear this
Geez only a month before he left us ! I was listening to am news working on guitars in an old garage in Claremont and when it was announced that August I wept !
“Black Muddy River” was performed as the first of two encores at the Dead’s final concert on July 9, 1995, at Soldier Field in Chicago. I have been told that, if you listen carefully, you will hear Garcia sing “last muddy river” at one point in the performance, as if he knew, as if he was quite conscious of what he was singing"
It's at 1:52 "..last muddy river"
I was a senior in high school who had just discovered The Dead, though it would be nearly another decade before I would really understand them. A girl I worked with had an extra ticket to this show and wanted me to go with and her friends. My parents explained that there was no way in hell they were going to let me go to Chicago to see "The Dead". They explained that the Dead had been around forever and would be around for a long time and that I was older.......... my heart is still broken.
Song reminds of my grandpa Ralph. He lived life his way and end of day walked to his own tune. Great man.
Chills
We got caught partying that summer and missed the last show in Pittsburgh but have kept him in my ear when I'm down or up, blazing a trail or difficulty keeping up, when I was young and knew everything and now older with hindsight, gullible or 🦉 wise, Jerry has been here through the tears I've cried with laughter and pain, helping me from bad and good to change, cold to warm through sunlight into the moons glow, I keep walking alone.
Always remembered for blowing my mind.
Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
Thank you Jerry
This was an amazing show. I was pregnant at the time with my fist born son Cassidy. It’s weird but he loves the dead,and plays guitar by ear. He must have been jamming in my belly at this show.
Thank you
I can’t believe this is the last song he sang
He knew it was going to be his last song 😢
I get goosebumps every time I watch this video and those first notes roll off of Jerrys guitar. Magical.
Yeah, Man Jerry Is Truly Magical Mystical Mysterious Mesmerizing and Is The Master Improvisational Musician. . . (~);} R.I.P. Uncle Jerry
jerry was magical every time I listen to this song I get chills to the bone tears to my eyes
Thank you JG
The legend goes that Jerry played Tiger for the very last song, Box of Rain. He's clearly playing Rosebud here (you can tell by the extra MIDI cord), and would have had to switch guitars REALLY fast, since they went immediately into BOR afterwards. Anybody witness that quick switch, or did it not really happen?
RIP my friend
I was there. It’s seems like yesterday
The fireworks and Hendrix over the PA star spangled banner
Its hard to watch miss you Jerry
Happy that we have jerrys last performance for us fans to cherish
"When it seems like the night will last forever"...
So glad someone recorded this so the youngsters can enjoy
You know his love did not fade away...all you fine folks have carried it in yourselves throughout the manybyears since his departure.
amazing ran the run back then. live was amazing. many try but only one!
A month later he was relieved of his earthly duties.
Dead & Company did this song incredibly last night->the spirit is alive!!!
One of the best parts of this song is that Jerry was reunited with Tiger for that last set.
I loved ( and still i do) this man and his music, but...Jeez, this is hard to watch.
As much it's so hard believe he was only 53 yo here, one month before his sad departure.
R.I.P Captain Trips :(
You don’t seek freedom. Freedom is what you choose. You can be free right. Now. Listening to this song is freedom
Hello everyone... its that day again. Chills & tears ❤
"Stones fall from my eyes instead of years"????? That's the beauty, magic, and convenience of missing a lyric that we all love about this man and band! Ok, so he messed up. Who cares. I think it's beautiful. Sometimes I do feel like "stones fall from my eyes instead of years"! ❤❤💎🌠👀😢✌
Epic Handy cam
Choked me up..
Thanks for the upload. One of the only live versions of this song
That black muddy river rolls on forever we love you Jerry and remember my friends never give your love 2 a Foolish Heart
