Yea ,we really did not know how blessed we were. I mean we just took it for granted that this is the life an it would go on for years and years. Well it did but when it's gone you shake yer head an cry
Very well put Jason. I started seeing shows in the mids 80's & 90's, yet I have migrated to their late 60's & 70's shows to listen, how I've matured w/the music. So many years later & my fav songs of their's still rock!
Yup saw many Pittsburgh shows in the 80s but in 89 moved west, where I still dwell. I’d have been here. My first listen to 3 Rivers, it’s definitely a 👍🏻…
This world needs Jerry right now, it's gone crazy, but we will get by. We love you Jerry and the rest of the band. Every time I get Down, I turn on the dead and my day seems alittle better.
@@gregorysgarrison yep finally someone sane, Jerry Gave the World Plenty, don't let memories you have of him go...but the OP needs to let Jerry go...have your own adventure...we will get by if GOOD VIBES are passed around & not some dumb "world is crazy ahhh!" Crap, do something about it. Stop with that self defeating talk & the world needs you right now, we got the very best of Jerry...now its your turn...you're the eyes of the world brother
@@psydd5209 you got that right, the evil and the hate, that's out there, we can sustain as a society. Aswell as the cost of everything, we are heading towards disaster.
Seems so long ago, these golden summer days outdoors with the Dead, so crystalline are the memories, so deep the imprint on my mind , spirit and soul..... yes, kiddos, before all this there was this thing called fun... even a thing known as " too much fun ".... would love to just go back to this time and stay there forever if I could
Usually I hate comments like these but gosh darn it, Deadheads are so darn respectful to the youth. They don't demonize us for listening to new music not nearly as much as other communities. All I see here is just a fond looking back at the past and nothing more. You guys keep truckin', who knows, I might become a deadhead too. Just about getting into them.
Here's a question for Dead archivist David Lemieux: Any chance that someone has a video of the band doing the Jack Straw version that was the Europe '72 album? That was the most haunting, magical rendition I've ever heard, even if plays in my head mostly when I'm anxious and on the verge of failure.

He WAS that healthy and truly did sound that great. I was on this swing, and we all felt Brent was the future of the band. It was clear Jerry was never long for this world. And Bobby... I won't say it, but some would say he appeared coked to the gills at all times. I would not have argued against that. PLUS... Brent really was holding it together. On the last studio album Brent had more songs than Jerry or Phil. and they were killer songs!
@@TheClownfight Such a tragedy man. According to some Brent was going heavy on the drugs because he was afraid to go to jail later that year. It would have been great for him. Time to write, time to get sober...
@@jefflofstead1649 Brent died after the tour though. I heard this from the Deadcast. He was a very anxious person and couldn't cope with the idea of going to prison, and was using drugs to cope and he overdosed.
My first Dead concert 50 years ago, 1971, U of Rochester Palestra, I was 17. Got in by climbing a human ladder through a window. Pig Pen throwing balls of flame in the air. Jerry started lead with NRPS and still playing when I left for school the next morning. i was hooked for life. Unforgettable !
Nice! I was 17 for my first show too. My very uncool, unhip mother let me take a greyhound to go see them for the 1st time. She even drove me to the bus station.
WELCOME!!!!!!!!! So glad you could join us, never to early or too late to be exposed to the dead let the beat move your feet and the rhythm sooth your soul. It brings tears to my eyes remembering the first time I heard the dead and how much it has effected every aspect of my life. I am the person I am today thanks to this music and the scene that enjoys it.
The Dead have helped me through a lot of times good and bad, but nowadays when I'm feeling down I put on a Grateful Dead album or concert cause they're all great from 65 to now with the Dead and Company, and Phil and Friends, so glad you found their music 🎵🎶 cause it'll work wonders in your life if you just let it, also ya better strap in for a long strange trip and ride cause they have so many songs and albums it ain't even funny, and they haven't even opened up all of the Vault,where the hold all their material, so just dance on down Shakedown Street and see where the music takes you, ✌️ and positive vibrations for y'all tonight
Every show I ever went to was a special occasion like the 4th of July, Christmas and Halloween all rolled into one! This was one of the Great ones! We didn't realize how good we had it!
Well, I gotta say I was one of the ones who KNEW how great I had it, when I went to a show, or even just listened to a live show, or a live broadcast like the New Year's show every year....I KNEW for sure, I was part of a magical mystical ride to the farthest reaches of the galaxy....NOTHING was ever like a GD concert......They were PURE MAGIC.....I LOVE THIS BAND TO THIS DAY......I only got to see them play live 3 times, but each time was truly an experience that I will treasure on my mind forever, and the GREATEST thing was the coolest people in the world , the GD audience, all gathered together, exchanging loving energy, was an experience that I will miss for the rest of my life.
There are no words. Just Thank you to every soul that was part of making this always and forever. The best fuckin time of my life..much love to you all...wow just watched view from the vault. Amazed
I'll never forget Phils BASS BOMBS... where the acoustics/amp levels would cause huge reverberations through the body when he played certain bass chords.
I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu! Ginseng A river of life through eyes Seen blue skies and dream Each day’s scene A shade of green from the leaves Beautiful blossoms So many herbs Spirits Here you find a shining light So bright I want to learn medicine. Give a good massage.
Forever thankful for these concert videos. I'm 32 going on 33 and never had the honor to see Jerry and the boys play live. When my time is called and it's my turn to join the great gig in the sky, I'll finally get to see Jerry and Brent play.
After a brief sojourn to other artists and genres I was wrestled back to my roots thanks to a local bar that has booked GD cover bands. It went by a few weeks ago and was reaffirmed and renewed. Reaffirmed by the wonderfully kind and spiritual fans who came out to enjoy community, friendship, and the music. I didn't realize how much I missed the uncomplicated, loving and unassuming nature of the people who miss live music in general and the Grateful Dead in particular. I reconnected with old friends, met new one and discovered 'closet' fans I would have never expected. As always, no shortage of surprises among a generous crowd. It saved me from myself.
It has got to be inevitable especially with billy strings keeping the memories going with awesome new twists on loved classics as well as his own that are right up there I’m loving it wish I had more time to see him and his boys live all young and gifted I was so impressed caught myself looking around as if bob jerry and Phil were around it was too cool and such fun
I saw them in Mtn View, 3 nights in June, '90. I quit housekeeping in Yosemite to go. Saw them Jackson, Ms '78', and in Atlanta, '89. I miss those days, but now I listen to a different show every day.
To think 2 weeks later Brent passed.... That hurt. I loved him well and felt the loss keenly. His soulful music lives on in my heart. He was a gent on tour. RIP friend
My family is the Grateful dead. Alive and well. I know I will see you all at time someday.. Much love Lisa , Monasha Jerry, Brent and the gang. Party on!!
I can never stop watching these shows , thank u so much from the bottom of my heart or half of it that’s left with Jerry , I’m just a broken down palace & never will I b the same !🥲😥😢😔😞so sad am I , can’t help it , sorry !
My first show was in 73 my parents took me I was 4 and years later I found my people waiting on me and knew I was home I feel the same way about billy(Garcia) strings
Holy shit my 1st road trip show!!! A true perfect 10/10 !!!! Hard to believe it was 30+ years ago praise Jesus im old... Enjoy this one kids! Jerry and the boys are balling out like Michael Jordan!!
Hometown show. Epic. The second set CHANGED me forever. Prob. my most spiritual experience at a GD show. 19 yrs old , mighta missed a lot in the 70s but it was just the right timing for me to be there… such a short time to be there and a long time to be gone🤷🏻-as always.
I was at this show and still have my ticket stub...Section 105, Row KK, Seat 20. I also have it on DVD but I am very glad it'll be available on UA-cam. Thank you!
I hung out with Brent too. the guy he was. just a guy I could say thanks for the show when we would hook up after them here and there. drink beer and party. at alpine one year it was late and he asked.me if he had a day off. yes Brent no show for a few days. smiled like a kid at snow day. we went boating on lake Geneva the next day. mikey and bill joined us. the good old days. yes I miss him too. lets just be glad for the time we knew him hey"" Mr fantasy " these archives are live savers. thanks. and you other heads thanks for staying engaged. so many roads. see ya all eventually. Mike
This was my first Grateful Dead show. I was 17 years old, and had just graduated high school the month prior. Although I was merely a casual fan going in, it transformed how I listened to music, and what I wanted/expected out of a live show going forward. I'm SO glad that this performance is immortalized on film/video! (P.S. So sad seeing Brent here, and realizing how little time we had left with him!)
Could not have scribed that better myself. ME too. Illinois and WS. shows 87' + and then traveled for a while plane flights cars and vans I fell in love with the cowboy stuff Had Jerry smile at me my first show front row center. that was a moment. 75 shows later the asshat up and dies on us. What a jerk.
@@marko363636 was never about you bud, glad he gave you some great memories, but you're not on his time line... Gave You & the World more than enough. He would of wanted you to let it go to appreciate your own life journey.
He reached out his hand & I shook it to feel the musical vibe deep in my soul, he grinned at me & I knew he was thinking do you feel it? Love is to soul as water is to body.
I listened to a blonde haired man in 75 in Hilo music school in Hawaii. Did not know his name but he sang To me a capella a song i learned later on guitar and sang myself but was many tears later i learned it was a Dead song. Ripples..
Yeah you had to see the Dead live I was blessed enough to see and hear them May 1980 by the skin of my teeth I got to see them what a great time long live the Grateful Dead music rest in peace pigpen rest in peace Jerry Garcia thanks a lot Grateful Dead Rock on🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️✌️🎸☠️🤡🌋🤘🤘🤘🤘🌎🙄
Was at this show and it was HOT beyond belief. Thanks to genghis and chucko for hooking us up with the best seating arrangement ever- 2nd row seats and a private box w/AC. Heated up by the stage and then cooled off in the box. The group switched places when the temp was overwhelming in order not to fry your brain and lose your mind.
@Bruce Amshel: I never lost my mind. I gave it away a few times, but it comes back to laugh at me every once in awhile...I get shown the light! And I love it! 😋😻
My first show was a few nights following this show at Deer Creek. I went from a 16 year old metal head to a dead head over night. It was a baptism of the soul and forever changed the course of my life. I never made a 3 rivers show unfortunately. My wife went to the 95 show and invited me. Who knows... maybe if I would have said yes we would now have been married 28 years instead of 11.
First time I heard Estimated Prophet live, 77? I believe, opening night at the Palladium in NYC, 5th row center, 4 of us trippin on window pane - you get the idea - it was a transcendent, ok religious experience. They were so unbelievably tight. Among the best Dead shows ever for this dude. First show '73 Roosevelt Stadium.
My first Dead concert. I went with my brother. The band was in excellent form. So sad that Jerry and Brent are no longer with us. Extremely grateful for the posting of this concert. Thanks
That's so cool. I saw both east and west coast shows that year. Being a California kid, I was simply not prepared for what an East Coast show was. Holy Crap! Flying whiskey bottles in the parking lot.
this recording is so awesome. they are so locked in and you can hear everything. I love the interplay of rhythm between bobby, phil, and Brent. It is so good. And Jerry just floats through it.
Took my little bro to his first show that day! I was on tour and he and his buds came to meet us and what a great day we had! CSN was the opener if memory serves me right...
Sporadically on tour I believe I saw em again in Buffalo NY that was another great time an show...Brent wouldn't last long after Buffalo y show I also was at the shit hole world Amp in Illinois last 3 for Brent, there's a video shows roadie handi g Brent a syringe ready to go he cks out others just before he does his foot I think. Shit takes alot of band members out...RIP all
The thing about the Dead is that the shows were all special, but they were a continuous event. Like an old friend, the conversation never ends, they were always there. Seeing other bands was a "special event." Seeing the Dead was just having a good time and seeing the Dead. I saw the Who 2 days after seeing the Dead twice, both times the Who seemed like a bigger deal, but the Dead shows were more fun, by a lot. Hard concept to explain, but I bet many of you get it.
If I could be instantly transported to any time or place in Human History I think this show would be where I would choose. The good vibes are off the charts!!
i wish i could go back to this time, this place, this show. my first roadtrip from philly to pittsburgh. strangers stopping strangers to shake hands on br stops lol
That's was me climbing in the stands behind the band, some prankster had slipped a 10 strip in my beverage, nuff said.😂😂😂😪 I'm catching the show for the 1st time here. Thanks Grateful Dead for the adventure of finding my way back home.
listen to & watch 6/14/91 RFK & you'll see the same tightness with the band but, well you be the judge for yourself just how good the show is, best thing is both are stadium shows.
UA-cam thought I would like this video and I do. Today being what is in the year 2020 I need to remember more the feeling of what it was to be with others at Grateful Dead shows arriving in my 1970 VW camper, walking about the parking lots before the show, walking about dancing through the crowd during the show. the parking lots again after the show, the drum circles... Peace, Love, Happiness, Family... Thank you all, the people, the musicians, the vendors on shakedown street, those who helped make these happenings possible, the good luck of good times and good people I enjoyed. Thank you all for being there. I miss the clapping of not fade away. Those were good times. Have a good day.
The best time I have ever had is still the best time ever had to go to a dead show and I just miss the best of your shows and I will always be a dead head and happy to say that dead changed me in so many ways and I will always love you and will always be a dead head till my time is over keep playing your stuff is still the best of all the music that is out there and I am still a happy to be a part of the dead head family for life play on play on
High as f**k at this show in many ways, the view from the top of the stadium was awesome, rivers , bridges and city, a raging party in the lot before and after the show, a really, really good day. Thank you, Grateful Dead.
I love the visuals that come in this video during "Eyes" (around 1:19:01) So simple, so beautiful, so profound. The Dead always come through with right-feeling visuals!
The era in which the GD broke into mainstream consciousness with their only chart topping hit. The accompanying Touch Of Grey music video is an absolute classic! I still remember it rotating on MTV like non-stop around this time. Friends who didn't know them wanted get to know them because of that video. Their resulting plunge into GD music was like a bottomless wellspring of good vibes, good times, and moments of spiritual enlightenment as the rest was, as they say, history ;) What a long strange trip it's been !! And we're ALL still on the ride!!
I'll never forget that evening when they asked us to come back in for that taping it was so crazy fun with Bill the drummer telling off the wall jokes as we all partied it up!
@@MrStuVW Hey now Stuart. Soundds like it was a really good time. When & where was yhe show w/ Billy telling jokes(and do you remember any of them?) Peace to U & yours. Jammon
@@3jammon3 Bill was drinking beer from cans, we were coming down from a psychedelic day and might have been drinking a little too that party was intense but no way could I remember even one of Bills works of art 🎭
2:21:35 This Black Peter is one of the best I've seen or heard. Jerry gives such a powerful performance and you can see he's lived those words he sings.
What was great about that Black Peter is there was a dude in the back of the stadium where I was sitting. After every song from the beginning of the show he screamed BLACK PETER!!!!! He never missed a beat with any break in the action. BLACK PETER!!!!! When they played it the whole back half of the stadium went nuts. It felt like one gigantic family and we were all the same wave length with the band.

Well, I gotta say I was one of the ones who KNEW how great I had it, when I went to a show, or even just listened to a live show, or a live broadcast like the New Year's show every year....I KNEW for sure, I was part of a magical mystical ride to the farthest reaches of the galaxy....NOTHING was ever like a GD concert......They were PURE MAGIC.....I LOVE THIS BAND TO THIS DAY......I only got to see them play live 3 times, but each time was truly an experience that I will treasure on my mind forever, and the GREATEST thing was the coolest people in the world , the GD audience, all gathered together, exchanging loving energy, was an experience that I will miss for the rest of my life.
There are no words. Just Thank you to every soul that was part of making this always and forever. The best fuckin time of my life..much love to you all...wow just watched view from the vault.
Amazed
Terrapin love love love love love tears in my eyes.
It's too beautiful!
Jerry, in my little mind, was the best Rock and Roll guitarist of all time!!! He changed his music at every concert, amazing man.
Absolutely Amen man
Yes!! The very best!
Yeah , you right
I agree 👍
dull as a stick
We will get by. We will survive.
Love Jerry’s shorts ☮️
This show is such a good example of Phil playing lead bass. The bass line is incredible.
Gotta cringe at those '80's shorts ...
And Jerry sober.
he plays more notes than all of the guitarists combined!
I'll never forget Phils BASS BOMBS... where the acoustics/amp levels would cause huge reverberations through the body when he played certain bass chords.
Lesh creates so much movement while still grounding the low end. unique in his playing!
Never had seen this show before, but WOW! Anytime you see Jerry smile and dance, you know there something special that night. Miss them sooo much...
yes and Phil sang, i have not seenthis either.
I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber.
The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu!

A shade of green from the leaves
Beautiful blossoms
So many herbs

Here you find a shining light
So bright
I want to learn medicine. Give a good massage.
I love the Grateful Dead so much. All of it. From pig to Brent, to dead and company now. Such amazing musicians.
I agree so much with u my friend !
Turn on your love light.
Not just about the vocal. It's about the music, about the feel. Legend.
The whole crew Robert hunter and all the folks that would follow and make shake down street what it was great memories
Bless everyone and Bless the GOOD OLE' GRATEFUL DEAD.
Forever thankful for these concert videos. I'm 32 going on 33 and never had the honor to see Jerry and the boys play live. When my time is called and it's my turn to join the great gig in the sky, I'll finally get to see Jerry and Brent
play.
Amen, me too in the sky...
I’m sure u & uyall will for sure in my soul I believe this to b true ! 🙏🏻😇
Lookin Forward To That Myself!!
Feel that my man
Fare Thee Well
After a brief sojourn to other artists and genres I was wrestled back to my roots thanks to a local bar that has booked GD cover bands. It went by a few weeks ago and was reaffirmed and renewed. Reaffirmed by the wonderfully kind and spiritual fans who came out to enjoy community, friendship, and the music. I didn't realize how much I missed the uncomplicated, loving and unassuming nature of the people who miss live music in general and the Grateful Dead in particular. I reconnected with old friends, met new one and discovered 'closet' fans I would have never expected. As always, no shortage of surprises among a generous crowd. It saved me from myself.
Amen!
Joy to my heart wow another beautiful and great show recorded.🎉😊💞🥰🥲🎊🌹✨
Growing up with the dead I never get tired of hearing the boys but my new friend billy and his boys are joining the party I love it🙏😁👍👍😎
This was my first Dead show. Extremely regret not discovering them sooner. Happy to have found this...never knew it existed. Miss you Papa Bear!!! 💜
I was at this show with my roommate from WVU.....higher than two church steeples we were......damn good times!!!!
where was it?
We were higher than Georgia pine!
THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE REMEMBERED FOREVER.

It has got to be inevitable especially with billy strings keeping the memories going with awesome new twists on loved classics as well as his own that are right up there I’m loving it wish I had more time to see him and his boys live all young and gifted I was so impressed caught myself looking around as if bob jerry and Phil were around it was too cool and such fun
These guys come by once in a life time. They are all complete genius, musically, vocally, instrument playing, creating incredible sounds.
It’s so true I also feel this way about ever evolving billy(Garcia)strings
I saw them in Mtn View, 3 nights in June, '90. I quit housekeeping in Yosemite to go. Saw them Jackson, Ms '78', and in Atlanta, '89. I miss those days, but now I listen to a different show every day.
We survived all these years... thanks for the memories
❤
Greatest. Band. Ever.
302 shows ! Of -2318 Shows !
they went into each moment not sure what was going to happen and that was magic.
To think 2 weeks later Brent passed.... That hurt. I loved him well and felt the loss keenly. His soulful music lives on in my heart. He was a gent on tour. RIP friend
Brent was so incredible. He and a Jerry really played well of of each other. No one really talks of how painful it was for Jerry after Brent passed
I want someone who looks at me like Jerry would look at Brent.
didn't he pass away from oddly to much wine and heroin? In his pool? Sad to say the least.
I hung with him and Healy one night in Miami, he was a super cool brother. Miss him still.
The World. I had not ever cried at a show.. until this one! All I could feel was BRENT!
For the full re-enacted dead show, check out Dark Star Orchestra. They bring out the best The Dead had to offer!
My family is the Grateful dead. Alive and well. I know I will see you all at time someday.. Much love Lisa , Monasha Jerry, Brent and the gang. Party on!!
I've been to 31 dead shows... that I remember and um just wanted to voice my love for the band...
I can never stop watching these shows , thank u so much from the bottom of my heart or half of it that’s left with Jerry , I’m just a broken down palace & never will I b the same !🥲😥😢😔😞so sad am I , can’t help it , sorry !
Heart of Gold band always. Life sustaining since first show in 73. Grateful to have been there until this day.
My first show was in 73 my parents took me I was 4 and years later I found my people waiting on me and knew I was home I feel the same way about billy(Garcia) strings
Holy shit my 1st road trip show!!! A true perfect 10/10 !!!! Hard to believe it was 30+ years ago praise Jesus im old... Enjoy this one kids! Jerry and the boys are balling out like Michael Jordan!!
I always love Bill’s drum work.
Hometown show. Epic. The second set CHANGED me forever. Prob. my most spiritual experience at a GD show. 19 yrs old , mighta missed a lot in the 70s but it was just the right timing for me to be there… such a short time to be there and a long time to be gone🤷🏻-as always.
For the four hundred and twentieth time I am rolling to this Brutha and sisters
Wsh I I could have been there sounds like the boys are having a good time love them smiles
I wish I knew, at the time, that this wasn't gonna go on forever! I miss it!
but it is forever beyond time!
I was at this show and still have my ticket stub...Section 105, Row KK, Seat 20. I also have it on DVD but I am very glad it'll be available on UA-cam. Thank you!
I had a General Admittance ticket and was on the field. Didn't CSN open for the band that day?
Where was this show?
@@ChuckHardwick Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA on 7/8/1990.
you have'nt lived untill you have been to a dead concert long live all of us 8/14 2020
Its not the same
What I remember clearly from my Grateful Dead concert days, is the feeling I would get, that I was participating in the creation of the music.
@ Paul Maggiar You were, Sir. You were!!!
I hung out with Brent too. the guy he was. just a guy I could say thanks for the show when we would hook up after them here and there. drink beer and party. at alpine one year it was late and he asked.me if he had a day off. yes Brent no show for a few days. smiled like a kid at snow day. we went boating on lake Geneva the next day. mikey and bill joined us. the good old days. yes I miss him too. lets just be glad for the time we knew him hey"" Mr fantasy " these archives are live savers. thanks. and you other heads thanks for staying engaged. so many roads. see ya all eventually. Mike
This was my first Grateful Dead show. I was 17 years old, and had just graduated high school the month prior. Although I was merely a casual fan going in, it transformed how I listened to music, and what I wanted/expected out of a live show going forward. I'm SO glad that this performance is immortalized on film/video!
(P.S. So sad seeing Brent here, and realizing how little time we had left with him!)
That’s really neat :) What an awesome graduation celebration ✌️💜🌈
Could not have scribed that better myself.
ME too. Illinois and WS. shows 87' + and then traveled for a while
plane flights
cars and vans
I fell in love with the cowboy stuff
Had Jerry smile at me my first show front row center. that was a moment. 75 shows later the asshat up and dies on us. What a jerk.
@@marko363636 was never about you bud, glad he gave you some great memories, but you're not on his time line...
Gave You & the World more than enough.
He would of wanted you to let it go to appreciate your own life journey.
What show is this? I know its not CA, and east of the Rockies
Seems like one of the more sober memories of Brent that come to mind or what’s left of it lol
Was at this show-drove out in morning from philly,after show drove all night to be at work on Mon.Was absolutely worth it
Phil's voice is wonderful here. Fabulous show. Lifted my spirits. Peace friends, til we meet again.
tom thumbs blues is a good example
Row Jimmy with Keith’s s solo intertwined with Jerry’s soaring Beethoven like dancing chords….. so good!!!!
@ Steven Roberts Brent Mydland!!!
What? did they dig him up ? Brent would of still smoked him
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile..🌹🌹🌹🌹⚡⚡⚡⚡🍄🍄🍄🍄🌻🌻🌻🧡💛💚🩵💙🤎🩷🪷🌷🌺💐🪻love from boulder, Colorado 🤘🤘🎵

First show in 76, Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City, NJ STILL LISTENING THANKS 🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵☮💜 Sugaree, first Song ❤
I SO miss the innocence of those days. 🌹💙🌹
sugrmag3: You mean things like being able to go outside or to the store?!?!?
Right before all this nwo fuckery really started ramping up.
Yeah me too. No Cell phones!! Better times back then!
BE CENTRAL TO YOUR HEART, SPREAD THAT, UNIVERSAL.
Grateful Dead? Innocence?...What on earth are you talking about?
Listening to Eyes Of The World's intro always brings a smile to my face. Such an amazing tune
One of my favorites ❤️❤️
I was at this show hung out all night at a reststop great time for Pittsburgh. The communication between the guys is incredible
Music that is soul reaching will never go out of style. My heart is full when I am listening to dead.
The correct way to play the grateful Dead in all of God's Glory. Amen love peace ✌️
I don’t think there is a wrong way to listen to and love the Dead.
Jerry died so long ago & it seems like yesterday and it was almost 27 years ago. August 9, 1995 - RIP Jerry! Ive enjoyed this music for over 40 years.
He reached out his hand & I shook it to feel the musical vibe deep in my soul, he grinned at me & I knew he was thinking do you feel it? Love is to soul as water is to body.
I listened to a blonde haired man in 75 in Hilo music school in Hawaii. Did not know his name but he sang To me a capella a song i learned later on guitar and sang myself but was many tears later i learned it was a Dead song. Ripples..
Best 14 years of my musical life were spent at Dead shows. Now we have Phish and Billy Strings! Life has been good to me!
Good for u that u get the chance to b there @ different concerts !
Yeah you had to see the Dead live I was blessed enough to see and hear them May 1980 by the skin of my teeth I got to see them what a great time long live the Grateful Dead music rest in peace pigpen rest in peace Jerry Garcia thanks a lot Grateful Dead Rock on🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️✌️🎸☠️🤡🌋🤘🤘🤘🤘🌎🙄
As a bass guitarist, I enjoy the close-ups of Phil Lesch playing his.
@ saseassociates *Lesh*
Was at this show and it was HOT beyond belief. Thanks to genghis and chucko for hooking us up with the best seating arrangement ever- 2nd row seats and a private box w/AC. Heated up by the stage and then cooled off in the box. The group switched places when the temp was overwhelming in order not to fry your brain and lose your mind.
@Bruce Amshel: I never lost my mind. I gave it away a few times, but it comes back to laugh at me every once in awhile...I get shown the light! And I love it! 😋😻
My first concert ever and still the greatest!!!
My first show was a few nights following this show at Deer Creek. I went from a 16 year old metal head to a dead head over night. It was a baptism of the soul and forever changed the course of my life. I never made a 3 rivers show unfortunately. My wife went to the 95 show and invited me. Who knows... maybe if I would have said yes we would now have been married 28 years instead of 11.
First time I heard Estimated Prophet live, 77? I believe, opening night at the Palladium in NYC, 5th row center, 4 of us trippin on window pane - you get the idea - it was a transcendent, ok religious experience. They were so unbelievably tight. Among the best Dead shows ever for this dude. First show '73 Roosevelt Stadium.
My first Dead concert. I went with my brother. The band was in excellent form. So sad that Jerry and Brent are no longer with us. Extremely grateful for the posting of this concert. Thanks
That's so cool. I saw both east and west coast shows that year. Being a California kid, I was simply not prepared for what an East Coast show was. Holy Crap! Flying whiskey bottles in the parking lot.
well dont forget Ron, pig and Vince
@@thepaulexperience2429 And Keith!
this recording is so awesome. they are so locked in and you can hear everything. I love the interplay of rhythm between bobby, phil, and Brent. It is so good. And Jerry just floats through it.
couldnt have said it better!!!
They r one when it feels rite to them ? They never argued over things , they only really cared about was the music 🎶🎶🌹🌹❤️♥️!!!
Took my little bro to his first show that day! I was on tour and he and his buds came to meet us and what a great day we had! CSN was the opener if memory serves me right...
CSN was like a double bonus, didn't know they had a opener;let alone every song being holy shit this is CSN...excellent airplane hits helped too!
@@jironthunder7519 lmao @ Gooney Bird
@@Jakedadopemane Picked up some Goonies on Shakedown as we flew into the show. What a day!
@@Jakedadopemane gooneys ruled!!! The globes were nasty as well ...
Sporadically on tour I believe I saw em again in Buffalo NY that was another great time an show...Brent wouldn't last long after Buffalo y show I also was at the shit hole world Amp in Illinois last 3 for Brent, there's a video shows roadie handi g Brent a syringe ready to go he cks out others just before he does his foot I think. Shit takes alot of band members out...RIP all
Watching this to commemorate Jerry on 8/9. Rest in peace at Franklin's Tower. I hope the bells are still ringing.
They are🎉😊❤
this show has become one of my favorites,
great song list, and everything else is perfect of coarse.
love you all.
@ The great potato kitty *course*
The thing about the Dead is that the shows were all special, but they were a continuous event. Like an old friend, the conversation never ends, they were always there. Seeing other bands was a "special event." Seeing the Dead was just having a good time and seeing the Dead. I saw the Who 2 days after seeing the Dead twice, both times the Who seemed like a bigger deal, but the Dead shows were more fun, by a lot. Hard concept to explain, but I bet many of you get it.
If I could be instantly transported to any time or place in Human History I think this show would be where I would choose. The good vibes are off the charts!!
i wish i could go back to this time, this place, this show. my first roadtrip from philly to pittsburgh. strangers stopping strangers to shake hands on br stops lol
Lots of time travellers at these shows
I used to hitchhike but then my cousin would borrow a car from the woman he was caring for , they r both gone now ! So sad 🥲😢😥🥵
This is an amazing era of the dead.
Hey my beautiful family we are everywhere 😁🎵♾️😹🐾 love ya ! Know our love won't fade away! Peace and prayers
That's was me climbing in the stands behind the band, some prankster had slipped a 10 strip in my beverage, nuff said.😂😂😂😪 I'm catching the show for the 1st time here.
Thanks Grateful Dead for the adventure of finding my way back home.
listen to & watch 6/14/91 RFK & you'll see the same tightness with the band but, well you be the judge for yourself just how good the show is, best thing is both are stadium shows.
Never trust a prankster 🤣🤪. But you know who you can always trust😂😇❤️⚡️💙
@bo glad u r enjoying it
@@kaleighdonnells6140aaah
No
UA-cam thought I would like this video and I do.
Today being what is in the year 2020 I need to remember more the feeling of what it was to be with others at Grateful Dead shows arriving in my 1970 VW camper, walking about the parking lots before the show, walking about dancing through the crowd during the show. the parking lots again after the show, the drum circles... Peace, Love, Happiness, Family...
Thank you all, the people, the musicians, the vendors on shakedown street, those who helped make these happenings possible, the good luck of good times and good people I enjoyed. Thank you all for being there.
I miss the clapping of not fade away. Those were good times.
Have a good day.
Saw these guys the 1st time when I was 16 and never looked back!
The best time I have ever had is still the best time ever had to go to a dead show and I just miss the best of your shows and I will always be a dead head and happy to say that dead changed me in so many ways and I will always love you and will always be a dead head till my time is over keep playing your stuff is still the best of all the music that is out there and I am still a happy to be a part of the dead head family for life play on play on
The Dead is by far the best.
Wow, the interplay between Jerry & Bob, right after Space is amazing! What a great show, thanks for posting this one!
High as f**k at this show in many ways, the view from the top of the stadium was awesome, rivers , bridges and city, a raging party in the lot before and after the show, a really, really good day. Thank you, Grateful Dead.
SOO Happy to see this quality vid. Wasn't at this show,but what a rippin delight to hear today. Love seeing Jerry performing while happy.
I was lucky enough to see The Dead in 1977 Fox Theater Atlanta. This show reminds me of that. A once in a lifetime experience. Thanks guys!
I love the visuals that come in this video during "Eyes" (around 1:19:01) So simple, so beautiful, so profound. The Dead always come through with right-feeling visuals!
The era in which the GD broke into mainstream consciousness with their only chart topping hit. The accompanying Touch Of Grey music video is an absolute classic! I still remember it rotating on MTV like non-stop around this time. Friends who didn't know them wanted get to know them because of that video. Their resulting plunge into GD music was like a bottomless wellspring of good vibes, good times, and moments of spiritual enlightenment as the rest was, as they say, history ;) What a long strange trip it's been !! And we're ALL still on the ride!!
Forever until we all go to the other side with all of them ! Our family ! ❤️🌹☮️🙏🏻💀☠️🥳🎶😇😍🥰😘
I'll never forget that evening when they asked us to come back in for that taping it was so crazy fun with Bill the drummer telling off the wall jokes as we all partied it up!
@@MrStuVW Hey now Stuart. Soundds like it was a really good time. When & where was yhe show w/ Billy telling jokes(and do you remember any of them?) Peace to U & yours.

@@3jammon3 Bill was drinking beer from cans, we were coming down from a psychedelic day and might have been drinking a little too that party was intense but no way could I remember even one of Bills works of art 🎭
2:21:35 This Black Peter is one of the best I've seen or heard. Jerry gives such a powerful performance and you can see he's lived those words he sings.
What was great about that Black Peter is there was a dude in the back of the stadium where I was sitting. After every song from the beginning of the show he screamed BLACK PETER!!!!! He never missed a beat with any break in the action. BLACK PETER!!!!! When they played it the whole back half of the stadium went nuts. It felt like one gigantic family and we were all the same wave length with the band.
It reminds me of all the people that have left us to soon like Pigpen !
That was one awesome cut!
R.I.P. JERRY AND BRENT
