That lady's face at the beginning is pure happiness and nostalgia. Makes me smile :D

[@mesuredidkedid6430]

I think those three know the song.

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

@ m e sur: of course. What GD fan doesn't. Trouble is this group seems to playing for those older folks who an no longer sway as quickly (I know because I'm at least old enough to know). But if find you can't quite move fast enough with JRAD, you'll need to try some other tribute bands. For instance, you will find Grateful Shred right up your alley You might think you've truly reversed time - they are closest to the original Jerry feel, as lots have observed. And don't sleep on any of the fine tribute bands. But I digress. To me this particular iteration of GD leaves a lot to desire by comparison, especially, imo, of the presence of a couple of originals. For them, that was ten, this is now, sadly.

She escaped from a mental hospital just in time to get to this show. They put her away after a 1968 festival where she took way too many shrooms, and acid. If you skip to the end of this video, you can see her get carried off by police, and staff members of the 'Sleepy time' rehab center for hippy's that never got clean from the summer of love era.

@@yvonnelaurenty6427 what are you talking about

[@mattkyle3511]

My sister in law loves John Mayer. I always told her he was a pop tool. It takes a big man to admit he's wrong. Well, I'm a big man because I say he's totally fucking awesome!

[@jonasdamion1627]

youre a big man alright 😏

[@ewoknips5154]

Did the same to my buddy. He went to see Mayer at a free show in Atlanta back before he was famous and I've always given him shit for it. And gave him a ton of crap when they announced Dead and Co. Well I stopped when I saw them in Atlanta that first tour they did. I always knew he was a great guitarist but damn he blew me away that night

[@dadashaneify]

First time I saw John and appreciated him was an Austin City Limits with Double Trouble. They did a whole SRV set and it was 🔥! And then the interviews with Tommy and Chris about how he made them feel 🤯😮 Been a fan ever since.

[@ChrisHelms-xm4fm]

He isn't a kid anymore and has set aside his childish ways. And any of that singular bad personality traits that were left evaporated when he truly became invested in the Dead and Co. He is part of that gestalt that these dudes exhibit. And who said there isn't any magic in the world?!?! Looks pretty fucking magical to me 😁

[@spiderguy01]

John Mayer is one of the greatest guitarists ever.

[@jules-demos]

I absolutely agree! Love him to play on one of mine ...:)

[@sangertx9077]

Certainly one of the greatest alive on the planet today, without question! 👍

[@christinashafer8749]

Totally agree! John sends me places only Jerry could!

[@bacardiacarrest]

Incredible to see this band evolve from this fine rendition to the absolutely stellar versions on their last most recent tour. Mayer was always good but his playing over the last five years has ascended to new unbelievable heights as has the rest of the band.

[@paulkleinert6792]

I AGREE😂❤ THANK YOU BOB WIER FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US FANS,AND FOR BRINGING JOHN MAYER TO THE PLACE WHERE HE GOT ON THE BUS.... RIGHTEOUS! WHEN CAN WE PURCHASE LIVE SHOWS ON DVD OF DEAD & COMPANY?? 😊

[@thebreathalyzer]

Mayer sounds great with these guys, so much space to explore and time to really improvise. Hopefully he’ll continue in that direction it suits him well. A lot of cats can shred these days but being able to play music like this…a lot of pacing, patience, and LISTENING is required

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

Thank u Bobby for John Mayer ! He is just perfect for this to keep it all going for deadheads !

[@rjjm94]

MAKE THE WORLD GRATEFUL AGAIN

[@jules-demos]

yeah!

[@rperkins723]

Is there any more euphoria than when they break into Franklin's Tower? Lovin it!

[@done1675]

Check out the euphoria in Boston 1991 when they break into "Fire" from "Slipknot!" insane energy. 9/20/91. Audience goes apeshit.

[@marios3202]

Whenever I hear help, and then the franklin's transition, I nearly lose my shit 😂😂😂

​@@done1675hey Deadhead. The crown jewel for Fire on the Mountain has to be Giza, Egypt in 78. Outside the venue sitting in the sand dunes were some several thousand Bedouins who came to see this odd spectacle. When Fire started, the Moon eclipsed and the uulatioms of those Bedouins chanting to what they were witnessing.....??!!?? My God, the power, the serendipity, timing... This was ordained. It sends chills down my spine every time just thinking about it or listening to it. That's the mystique of the Grateful Dead. Just incredible

[@mediaholic07]

My first Help>Slip>Frank THANK YOU

[@done1675]

Mine was 9/19/90 at MSG then again with Branford on 9/10/91. I'm glad there are some benefits to being old, LOL.

[@tomratcliff3755]

Hey, let's give Oteil props too. JGBand Tedshi Trucks. Hell of a plyer.

[@jonathancollier500]

Oteil is an amazing dude all the way around. I love his playing, his singing, even his beliefs and views on the podcast “Comes a time”. Such a cool dude 😎 His new album of Jerry ballads from what I’ve heard so far. Stellar⚡️❤️⚡️

[@doctorivan]

Mayer speaks Jerry's language.

[@rperkins723]

Most definitely!

[@jahrojasexqsys5238]

He can't quite translate it yet....maybe if they ever find a guitar player who speaks Bobby's language they can learn translate it for the rest of us who dont wanna see the bus get parked in a field to rust when bobby retires

[@rivereuphrates8103]

Jerry's playing trips me out. It really is unlike anyone else. His note choice alone was wild.

[@caseyjones3842]

This is amazing!!! How is this only 36 likes (including mine)??? I am a temporary traveler / stranger to this world.

[@rperkins723]

Exactly!

[@done1675]

Because like everything this band does, it's so slow it's fucking painful. Jerry on a nod would played this faster.

[@jules-demos]

I find this extrordinary also - there should be hundreds of thousands!

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I have really loved these guys how much they fit in is incredible but this is supposed to b their last year of touring because Bobby wants to get into the studio to record for his Ace album plus others because vinyl is better ! I’m glad I kept all of mine so I can start to listen to them again ! I just bought a record player with a cd player in it also , I’m stoked ! ❤️🌹🐰🐇👽🛸🪐💜💛🧡💙💚

[@deadreckoning6288]

I've made every show they've done at wrigley & there's been some real good ones!

U r so lucky because I never made any of their shows so bravo to u my man! 🥳🌹🌹💚❤️💙🧡💛💜🌹🐰🐇👽🛸🪐😱🎹🎼

[@natezarate5413]

Me and a buddy flew out from California for 2021. Good times! How about that rain on night one!? Night two we made it up to 5th row center! 🍄⚡️🙃 I found a sweet picture online of night two as the sun was setting and had it made into a 1,000 piece puzzle. It’s framed and proudly hanging in my house for life! Can’t wait for the final tour! My girlfriend and our 2 year old daughter have tickets to all three nights in San Francisco! Kinda bummed to hear this morning that Billy is going to be sitting out this last tour.😩 Oh well, we will stay grateful and make the most of it!! 🎶💃🎉🌉

[@zacharyreed1617]

Put it on 1.25 speed and that’s how fast I wish the boys were playing. Still great!

[@nathanielvargas3863]

@@万物之母 it’s been a few years since I’ve listened to this so I’ll do it again now

[@jeffhowe4275]

OK, your opinion, so that's fine, and Mayer's a fine guitarist, too, but for me the Help is way too slow, there's hardly any video of Bobby. In my opinion, the version from the actual Grateful Dead on One from the Vault is much better (the bootleg -- Make believe Ballroom -- is even better, as it it has Bill Graham's fun band introduction at the start).

[@greedygreen3063]

Beautiful

[@jules-demos]

A joyful and brilliant concert!

[@TONDJO-STATION]

Ils auraient pu trouver pire comme remplaçants. John Oteil rendent parfaitement hommage à leurs prédécesseurs...tout en apportant avec beaucoup de justesse leurs créativités personnelles. Le Dead n'en finira pas de m'impressionner !!

[@GoshGus]

Thank you

[@muddymatista]

Need that hat John is wearing

[@fordsrestorations970]

Somebody should go back there and tell John Mayer if he keeps playing around here that he's going to have to stay

[@paulkleinert6792]

Absolutely right, he is deserving for sure....How about some DVD'S of shows to have forever ....

[@rossr6616]

and put on 100 pounds 😅

[@scottbrown6305]

I so wanted to hate John when he signed on with Dead & Co. I was wrong. He CAN handle the music. I like to say he’s not replacing, he’s just filling in til Jerry gets back.

Yeah, started listening to the dead when I was 10 or 11. Saw them live when I was 13 and 15. I knew that it was working,but.... NOT A GD COVER BAND 4 REAL
