[@ericweinraub8825]

I love these late 80s shows because I was going to a lot of them in Worcester/Hartford/Providence/MSG. It would be years later before I go to my first Oakland show once I moved to SF.

[@billroberds937]

Happy New Year everybody!

After Jerry that was it for me now I just waste away my time watching these old wonderful shows ! I’m so grateful & half dead over it but in the end I’ll b with him

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I need a miracle of the last concert in Portland Maine where I made Jerry late for 20 minutes before he got on stage in 1988

[@bunnybeckman8029]

Please find that concert for me in Portland Maine in 1988 ! Please it was the last time I was with him ! 😓😥😢🥲😍🥰😘

[@Karmakatt6]

[@mikedubs9940]

[@michaelblanks3409]

I was there saw MSU beat USC IN Pasadena the day before.my mistake was to eat liquid acid from my hand many,many,times.don't remember a thing except sitting all the wah back trying not to lose it.serious reality break.!!!!good show I suppose?

[@Ken-pc9lt]

Had a similar experience at RFK, was walking laps around the upper level because it seemed to calm me down, but the next thing I knew I woke up on the floor of the bathroom with about 20 people standing around me, thank God it was a dry corner

[@SuperWhateverdotcom]

Cool bootleg. I was there 12/28 & 29 but couldn’t get in on New Year’s Eve.

[@andrewfainthomas]

SuperWhateverdotcom me too!

[@jpf7667]

Me three! I was hanging with a couple of kids who thought it was ok to don yellow windbreakers and have doors popped for em. Not me.

[@ralphdesmond]

[@bunnybeckman8029]

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

I was at this one. I was at pretty much all of the SF Bay Area shows because I was a volunteer with the Haight-Ashbuty Free Medical Clinic - Rock Medicine Section. We liked the Dead shows because they were the calmest and everyone in the Clinic was at Dead Head at some level. I was a mild case. I mean I liked them, even had the road manager's ex as a patient at my practice, but I didn't go ape or obsess about it. I mean, a couple people joined the clinic just as a way to schmooze their way into the Family. I never respected people who did that sort of thing, Now that I live out of state and am a married old man, I don't do much on New Year's Eve. But listening to or watching some GD around this time is mandatory as it was once a regular part of my life for so long.

[@tflyer98]

Great show with a super messed up opening on Let the Good Times Roll.

[@ronaldmorris4222]

Ive heard them a lot worse.

[@nikoniko4457]

Jerry dialed in for this Terrapin. Captain of the ship! Awesome drums>space>the Wheel I'm starting a New Years show run marathon as we head into 2025. I'm going to try to watch as many as I can then listen to the rest. Jus finished 86 and 88! Any suggestion where i should head next? May your 2025 be kind! Keep seeking all thats still unsung

[@janeseamore1370]

well we know why Clarence went on jgb tour. cool as they come. this sounds amazing

[@ronaldmorris4222]

I always thought he sounded great with the dead

[@mikedubs9940]

Oh yeah

[@mikedubs9940]

Geez.At this time they didn’t even know

[@pardyhardly]

I don't know what these guys got into before the show, but they're clearly hanging on for dear life throughout. It appears that Bobby is having trouble getting his fingers to work, Jerry is trying to keep his face from sliding off, and that the drummers are dealing with their percussion devices continuously turning into snakes and jello.

[@danielhubschmitt7897]

Imagine if clarence Clemmons moved in with jerry and Bob weir was it? Either way would've been cool as shit.

[@DukeRaul]

P H I L !! 🎼⚡💀🌹🍄🥳🎊🩲🦅🕺💃🎶😁🐥💯

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!

[@tabathastaples7884]

Do you know where America is mentioned in the Bible ??????? Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!!

[@bunnybeckman8029]

Brent told me he never felt part of the band it took Jerry to do something about that ! Bobby a little bit jealous of his youth plus taking some of Jerry’s attention away from him !

[@kevinminor9946]

Stop censorship

[@goodcitizen6193]

I don't even want to say how much this video proves white people arent bad

[@HGZMO]

Mickey needed to be turned down

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I’m. crying over Jerry because that was the last year I was with him ! I should never have left him , maybe he would still b alive today if I stayed in his life ! I’ll always feel guilty about that fact ! 🥲😢😥😓😰😱🤯
