How come Terrapin crossroads was enforcing the vaccine mandates? Do t think Jerry would approve…… ✌️
❤
Hello David, DO I see Une petite pue Francais IN you?
Amen man
Came to this after hearing of Bill Walton's passing.....and I'm glad I did. Much love to Dead Nation, Much love indeed.
1989 was a great year for the Dead - crisp sound, bigger jams, and Jerry was lucid and creative. There are great shows throughout the 80s, but 87-89 were the best years with a peak in 89.
Couldn't agree more. Spring 90 gets a lot of love for obvious reasons but to my ears summer '89 was the absolute peak of late era GD.
'83-'85 smoke '87 and '88 imo, '89 was in a league of it's own though
I was on most all spring summer tour dates in 90 did a lot of 89 too but that 90 was the eclipse it vaulted rose to the heavens then shattered in a billion pieces at the end of tour the world amp Tinley park was just a shit show i just knew something was in the air u could smell it from start of spring in md. cap ctr but 90 was pure fire,.... 87-90 93 was pretty great too 95 sucked balls in many ways
90 too
Easily one of my all time Mississippi.. just watching how Jerry starts smirking just past the 3min mark he knows he's gonna lay it all down. And Brent, Bobby and Mickey feel the love.. I'm sure Phil and Bill but the camera never made it too them unfortunately..
There's no question in my mind that the Brent Mydland era was the greatest era of the Grateful Dead. He really brought out the best in Jerry.
Of course Brent did bring the best of Jerr... you know what I mean!!
Agreed
Man, it's really hard sometimes. These vids help. I hope we can find ourselves together again.
we will, have faith. and if we can't, have more faith.
Retread to my feet and pray for better weather
We will there's a jear bear on the moon waiting for us remember? Lmao
Just saw them in atlanta last night. Magical
If people stop enabling all the bs we will!
exactly what all of us need on this fine day
so true
Camped out under some stairs, gf kicked me out, no clue what to do next, but....got my JBL n phone n it's 3:45am here in So. California n been listening to live Dead for last 4hrs...getting me through...the sun will shine on my backdoor someday.....March winds gonna blow all my troubles away
@@jeremyshoemaker6562 where in socal
89 was such a great year for them, glad to have been old to see them back then.
😎✌🐻💀🌈
I heard they were firing on all cylinders on that 89 tour from people that have seen them live since the 70s. Lucky you man, any anecdotes from that show or maybe other shows from that tour?? Bet the Acid was fantastic hehe. Thank God (and GD of course HA) for these incredible recordings.
@@fungus_am0nguz644 the alpine Valley shows were a great time .even the year when it rained cats and dogs. Everything was soaked but when the band came out the clouds parted . it was beautiful.
@@Summernightsandneonlights
The late 80s Alpine shows were so good!
I was born on the day of this show
Did your daddy sit down and cry?
Me too
That first verse is one of the finest written in all of rock music
Robert Hunter a true genius
Could not be denied!!
Hah! I was thinking the same thing about the second verse!
Vocalist smiles mid-3rd verse before the "cue-ball's made of styrofoam" line. I'd guess he's reflecting on how great the words are too.
This song comes to mind.. every time I find myself in a boat, canoe, or floating down stream in an innertube.. just start singing "across the Rio Grand Dio... across the lazy river...."
Good ol Grateful Dead.. always brings a smile to my face ☺️
Another beautiful memory, farewell to you ol southern skies, im on my way....
Good times!!!
Thank you Grateful Dead for reminding me what life was like back in the day....
i'm lost for words to say how good this is
Currently in my all time favorite top ten best Dead songs ever. Can't get enough.
Legends...just legends...
Jerry Brent was the most dynamic amazing thing to watch
I just finished watching a 77 Mississippi with Bill really enthusiastic and pushing Jer. Very different dynamic for sure..
Brent was my favorite keyboard player for the Dead
How can you not smile when Jerry has that guitar in his hands?
Less than a year old when this show was filmed but owe finding/loving this band to my father who introduced my sister and I when we were toddlers as we cruised around in his K-car with skull sticker in the back window. Beautiful memories of a simpler time but what’s even more beautiful is that we still share those moments. Music like this transcends time even though Jerry and Brent are gone.
summer 89 was the happiest I ever saw Jerry.
Today's my mom's birthday. Couldn't be more grateful for her, and these guys, and most all of you out there. 🤙❤️
Happy birthday mom!
Happy birthday Mom!!!
🎂 Happy Birthday, Mom. 🎁
🎈
Happy Birthday Mom!!!
An amazing version 🍄👠🍄🌍🍄🌹🍄
Beautiful version of one of my favorite dead songs ever
mickey's face during the crossing says it all....special moment in time....thanks guys for taking me along.....peacee!
When the tempo changes in Mississippi to the 2nd half of the tune.. Easy to see why it's such a fan favorite. Jerry's solos could inspire the Dead to raise. Especially in Mississippi. I love feeling that build up of inspiration as the song progresses. I love the GD but, honest to God, Jerry was in a world all his own. His final solo.. can't describe. God like.
I think the roughness is from mickey :/
Cocaines a helluva drug.
This is the era of Dead I grew up with.
Was watching a Mississippi State baseball game the other day and a kid hit a dinger to right field and there's a huge stealie and tie dye off in right field. And I smiled and smiled. And I thought.....Mississippi Half Step!!!! Chills. Weir everywhere! Much love everyone.
Awesome....anyone else hear a tiny Let it Grow tease?
PHIL!!!!
So grateful to have been there
Incomprehensible awesomeness to be focused on the boys in person! Wave that flag wide and high!r.i.p.jerry tlc...
Started seeing them in 89. I was at this show. Good times.
Brent straight crushing it on this Half Step. His keys are magic for the soul❤️💛💚
goddamn Jerry and Brent were both so good on this one - as usual from 87-90
True and Brent doesn't often get the appreciation he deserves.
@The People’s Stick So sad. They are both gone now. Great to have these videos though.
this is never before seen footage! awesome!
I saw this show. Man I miss these guys
Half- Steps never go out of style❤
Nice. Jerry's playing was steller on the Summer tour. Saw 3 dates including this one. Brings happy memories of a time slowly slipping away.
Sadly it does feel that way..
We can keep this train moving 💪
Slowly slipping away, that’s Putting it gently. I started watching the Dead in 91 and it feels like a different lifetime for me. Unfortunately The music died with Jerry.
@@jdietz8026 I try to be optimistic in regards to time. However I think the music died with Brent's passing. My last show was in the spring of 92 in Philly. The set list was great the playing was not. I left the Spectrum with a broken heart knowing that it was over. Phil said at that time that the band was running on inertia & he was right.
I’m 48, I was probably of the last of the dead heads to catch on. Or peoples my age that got to went to the concerts. Time is a crazy thing.
My typing is brutal, sorry. I got to see the last show and it wasn’t pretty but I’m glad I was there. End of an era…
I was 17yrs old for this show, one of many times I saw the dead at RFK❤❤❤❤
Im only 21 and love the dead sence i was 6
Thanks Dave! This is awesome...Jerry's playing is awesome, of course, but what really hit me was the strength of his voice! The way he was holding the notes extra long at the end of some of the phrases was really cool...
I turned 21 at RFK in 94... that was a great Saturday for sure! Few bumps but yeah...
super fun tour, they were on fire!!! Giants stadium, the weather was totally synchronized with parts of the show!
Bless the Greatful Dead... ✌🏼
Wow! What a rendition! Thank you, GD. Happy Thanksgiving everyone....
Merry Christmas!
Man , it was hot as HELL that day..... humidity off the charts.....
Still had a real good time.....
Great audio...great song...Grateful Dead!!

I was just singing to myself, “acroooossss the Rio Gran-De-Oh” and landed here.
Thanks so much for posting this awesome rendition!
Thanks for sharing !! Made me smile ! So many great shows to see ! keep em coming !!
Thank you, David! Makes me smile! ❤✌😊
As good as it gets!🙏
Such a great song! Love all you heads out there : )
I used to see Rock and Rye in every Wisconsin bar I went into. I finally found a bottle of it in my local Walmart. It’s Rye Whiskey with Rock Candy some orange, spices and bitters, Pour it over ice and add a Cherry and you have an Old Fashion.
Muerte agradecida...el rock en su escencia unica, Jerry y compañia geniales y únicos, larga vida al rock...excelente banda californiana de la edad dorada de la contracultura musical...
Excellent! Love this!
This whole show would be a nice Shakedown Stream. Hint, hint.
Yes indeed! this was in the movies 2017 I believe
Or maybe the whole tour!!
I was at those two shows, 12th and 13th. They were both awesome. The Minglewood on the 12th is a smoker!!!!
Shake me.
@VOREVOX what??
DC was always a great show, that's where i saw them for the first time!!!!
Yay! These videos make my day!
Wonderful drums kit playing🎉❤🎉
Sweet side kick sounds ❤🎉
incredible!!
I love my history in my past
i started following the boys in 89...things got kind of rocky after that but that year was magic!
A little LIG tease at the start. I love seeing the band having fun. The Brent reaction to the 3rd "On My Waaaay" 4:09 is priceless.
We got to see Dylan play a bit on the last night at the Forum run on Feb 12. It was our final time at the Greek and Frost. I got a birthday show at their single Oakland Arena show Dec 6th (that really was for my birthday wasn't it? Or maybe for Grahame's 3rd birthday?).
89' was a fun year for sure. Then again I look back and say that about every year since my first on 12/31/79. Every year is like a bottle of good wine. Each year has it's nuances and uniqueness that individually makes each special. What year I want to listen to greatly depends on my mood (or the acid). I would never say one is better, just different or stranger.. and I am thankful for every minute of it all!!!
Well said MM. ™️
HELL YEAH MAN!!! Jerry and Brent🎃❤
Spectacular !
Great Version!
Truly good musicians possess a talent that is hard to learn, imo.
6:55, 7:36, 7:50? Hot damn! Umm, nice? No! Umm, damn, sweet? Idk!! Something!! 8:05-8:16, Mickeys face starts to melt from all the nice sweet music going on!!! Btw, I was 4th row at this show! Nice, sweet vibes in the lot, the show, the music, obviously, the WHOLE DAMN THING!!! OH FOR JUST ONE MORE LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS!!!
Man how I remember this summer tour I just turned 21 drinking age in most states. My how I wish I could do it all again! Not that drinking was my thing
Excellent
It’s good to hear Bobby this high in the mix!
Supercool !!! Sound of infinit. Dead forever !
Sweet keyboard sounds 🎉very good ❤
Wow! I imagine I have heard that before, but maybe not. In any case, what a great reminder of why we love the boys, and particularly, Jerry! Rippin' on the third song of the first set. Sweet.
They've got Brent's vocals mixed down just a bit, which is perfect. What a tune.
Thanksss...!!! ;)
Wonderful gitter sounds 🎉❤🎉
Jesus he's fucking beautiful.....All hail 1989
89 looked so fire, i havent heard a bad show yet
Summer and Fall 89 and Spring 90 are when the band found their voice with this team. Brett figured out that he was great, Jerry was pretty clean and healthy... and they delivered at nearly ever show. Anyone who is caught up in the 70s (and specifically 77) who can't give this Era a listen need to run a few months of these tunes that this was one of the two eras that every deadhead should study deeply.
Across the Rio Grandeeee ooooooooooooooo!
Great voice 🎉❤
Oh, Jerry, I Can Still Hear Your Music Like A Song Being Played In The Background. You’ll Never‘Fade Away’
Good stuff, I really have seen the Dead. Im 47.
Grazie ❤️✌️
I’m a first time buyer great music
Great song ❤🎉❤
😂😂💓needed this reminder so MUCH 💯🔥💓🎸🌈🎶⚡NFA
Lovely voice singer's ❤🎉❤
Wonderful 🎉song ❤
Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤sounds
The year was 1830...me and the boys had come out to finish the transcontintental railroad....we were pretty broke by then but Clem did have some of them soundboard tapes....we had ourselves a grand old time by promontory point, as obadiah drove in that last spike....why, we even had some of that there Utah gold, and some shine....weed, shine, and some fiery Utah gold.
Brent is straight shredding!!!! 89 was the just the best, my god were they firing on all cylinders!
