Drummer reacts to "Deal" (Live 1989) by Grateful Dead

Thank you to our resident Dead head Dave S for this fantastic request. Jerry was absolutely 1st degree shmurdering that poor guitar. It sounded amazing. It was enjoyable to see him a little further in his life and still absolutely rocking it.

I saw about 150 shows from '69 through '95. You would have fit in perfectly and would have been a deadhead. I'm 70 and still on that bus.

[@orangeandblackattack]

120 from 85-95..had to get outta high school. Lol

[@JB-Deadskins]

Answers to your questions: Brent Mydland (mid land) on the keys joined the band in 1979, and stayed until he died of a drug overdose in 1990. Everyone else was with the band from the start, with the exception of Mickey Hart, who played from September 1967 until February 1971, and again from October 1974 until their final show in July 1995. He left the band for those 3 years, because his father Lenny, who was the band's money manager, embezzled $150K and disappeared. That is a 6 string bass Phil is playing. And, since you commented on the huge drum kits, I'm going to tell you about the format of a Grateful Dead show. Since the early years the shows consisted of two sets. The first set is comprised of mainly shorter songs with tuning breaks in between. Each band member sings lead on the songs they wrote, or on specific covers. There is almost always a Bob Dylan cover in the first set, in the middle of the set Bobby sings the "cowboy" songs (El Paso, Mama Tried, Big River, Me and My Uncle, and Mexicali Blues, which is actually a Polka 😅). These are often played together without a break in between. Songs without breaks between are denoted with a > in setlists. The first set always ends with a rocker that has a massive jam at the end, like this Deal. The second set is reserved for the longer jam songs and are mostly played one into the other, like Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain, or Scarlet>Fire in deadhead parlance. After four or five songs comes Drums. The others leave the stage, and Billy and Mickey put on a show. That's when all those other drums you noticed are put to work. Also there's an instrument of Mickey's design called The Beam that is kind of an enormous pedal steel guitar, with a MIDI attached and programmable repeater technology. After Drums, the others come back for Space. This can be incredibly bizarre with each person playing different tunings and rhythms. Sometimes it can come together into a serious jam, but mostly it's just what the name implies. Eventually, you hear a lick or a riff indicating the song that will build out of Space. They generally play three or four songs after Space, one of which is a Jerry "weeper," a song where Jerry pours his soul out both in his vocals and his guitar solos. There is almost always an encore, and on rare occasions two. If the final song was a rocker, the encore will be mellow, and vice versa. Throughout the show they alternate between Jerry and Bobby songs, with Phil and Brent (and later Vince) taking an occasional turn.

I would recommend that you watch a Drums segment on KZbin, even if you don't react to it. As a drummer, I think you'll really get into it. Here's the Drums from a different night of this same Alpine Valley run kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXvLpmuCeMSeY9Usi=pKyf_D66ZQJqzxEw

[@deechatterton5828]

Not only did Lenny take off with a bunch of cash, he also signed the band to an extended contract with Warner Brothers without the band's knowledge. He's Gone is a testament to him.

So it basically follows the trajectory of an acid trip.

[@TutorWindow]

"The world needs some Grateful Dead." Word.

[@bobschenkel7921]

"Uh oh, here we go". Yup. When Jerry steps back for that second solo it was as good as any solo anywhere, anytime by anybody. And I mean anybody, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Roy Buchanan, Steve Kimock, Mick Taylor, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Duane Allman, ANYBODY. Jerry on his "Tiger" Guitar, it just doesn't get any better. This concert was held at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. My friends and I were at Alpine in 1988, during a major heat wave, and it was part of the best ten days in a row in my life. AWESOME VENUE.

Hey Lisa, my friends and I drove out from Eastern Pa. in 1988 for all four Alpine shows, a day off in Milwaukee, saw The Brewers and The A's that night, and on to Buckeye Lake, Ohio on the way home. Amazing "trip". Alpine is fantastic.

[@mrheem44]

what a blast that place was the best of times

[@daveseidnergd]

Hey L33, sorry I missed the premiere. I had a work thing. Great to see this reaction, glad you dug it! With each Dead reaction, you seem to be stepping a little further on the bus. 🙃 On behalf of Dead Heads everywhere, welcome aboard! Summer of 89 through Spring 90 was an amazing era for The Dead. They were truly firing on all cylinders. Brent Mydland was their Keyboardist from late 1979 through the summer of 90. He was an amazing talent, as well. I love the texture his Hammond B3 organ brought to their sound. The two drummers really love playing polyrhythms together. When they first met, they would practice by putting their arms around each other and they would play rudiments, one playing the left hand and the other playing the right. That's how they learned to synchronize. One of these days, I'll ask you to react to one of their "Rhythm Devils" drum segments. You'll get to check out Mickey on "The Beam" which is a trip.

[@tommathews3964]

Who knew we were about to lose Brent shortly after this?! I really don’t feel Jerry was ever quite the same after Brent passed. He LOVED playing with Brent, and Brent would “push” Jerry, which most wouldn’t! 89 was probably the height of the Brent years, for me. That “beautiful guitar” is “Tiger” which Jerry logged more time on than any other. He had an almost identical Irwin guitar named “Rosebud”.

[@mikehutton3187]

The Dead always puts a smile on my face. “Bertha” live from Orchard Park is a great one as well.

[@orangeandblackattack]

Grabs you by the boo-boo, doesnt it?! I saw them in 89 and they were near perfection

[@johnathanstruble1064]

The Dead didn't mind fans recording shows, matter of fact encouraged them , and even set up a special section for fans to set up recording equipment. That's the reason there are so many bootlegs, with great quality sound.

[@jmcc199]

L33 - the best footage of Mickey and Bill I have ever seen was from England 70 - Good Lovin - it is incredible !

[@neilphelan145]

I don't know how many times I've seen them. I lost count after 100. My first show was 14 n 1969 and saw the last Los Angeles shows a few months before Jerry died 1995. What a long strange trip it was! ✌️

Dude I would strongly recommend listening to all of Cornell 77 it’s one of the best dead shows ever

[@dongiovanni6796]

EVERYTHING in that show was on point, but if I had to call out the most extraordinary aspect, I'd say it's Phil's bass. He channeled his inner Jaco and played absolutely out of his mind all night.

[@kathyrams]

I went to a Grateful Dead concert, and the song they played was great!

This was on Garcia’s first solo album “Garcia”. Had a lot of other great songs on it including “Wheel”

[@JamesHall-hr4zl]

Deal is probably Jerry's signature song. Appearing on his solo album Garcia and was often a first set closer. Brent on organ joined the band in 79 the others are the original line up from 65.

[@tenjed4224]

I took off from work and headed to alpine for this great show. Deal has been a mainstay for the Dead and its many different offshoots for a long time. Rarely played the same way, twice is why so many love the different versions of this tune.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Jerry passed in 1995. In 2023, "Dead and Company", the last incarnation of the band, performed their final show. John Mayer took Jerry's part and Oteil Burbridge played bass. Bob Weir on rhythm guitar (now very grey with thick mustache) was still with them as well as Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart on drums. Jeff Chimenti on keyboards.

[@deechatterton5828]

Dead and Company has been booked into a residence at the Sphere in Vegas May thru July (at this point). It's not the same but it should be a lot of fun.

[@JB-Deadskins]

Billy got sick back in 2021. Jay Lane replaced him intermittently in 21 and 22. Billy's illness is why they decided 2023 would be their final tour. He didn't play at all on it. But Oteil, who is not only a bassist, but also a drummer, would stay on stage and join Jay and Mickey for Drums. That final tour was easily their best. They had become really tight and I saw an interview with Oteil where he said he had been standing back and just playing his part, but when he wanted to do certain Jerry songs, like China Doll and If I Had the World to Give, someone told him, "Man, you just got to step up and do it, don't ask for permission." That new attitude really took hold, because he just killed it on this last tour. And Jeff and John also developed a real chemistry too. Reminded me of Brent and Jerry. I wish Jeff had gotten a chance to play with Jerry, that would have been awesome.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

@@JB-Deadskins Agreed!

[@deechatterton5828]

Pretty sure this is from the 3 day run at Alpine valley amphitheatre available on DVD. It rained hard during Saturdays show, we watched people sliding down the soaked and muddy grass, some unintentionally, after the show was over. Band was on fire. Such a great time

Phil oldest - Bobby youngest.(of orig. members) Jerry went grey first and unfortunately died way too young at 53 in '95. .😢 Every silver lining had a touch of Grey. But he was THE TRUTH IN LIVE GUITAR!!!!!!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Wish you could have been there in their Hay day! But,,, the scene is still out there. Go find it and Love Life like you never knew how.. Peace...

[@StarDarkAshes]

When Garcia is on he is on 🔥. He sometimes goes off even more on Deal with the Jerry Garcia Band especially during 1988-1990 thereabouts. Check out the Deal from the Jerry Garcia Band double live album “Jerry Garcia Band” that has the cartoon drawing of a show on the cover. Check out the song “Cats Under the S꙰T꙰A꙰R꙰S꙰ “ from the album “How Sweet it Is”. The only band member that was added since 1965 was Brent Mydland. Bob just looked relatively young compared to the way Jerry looked relatively older for his age. Hard to believe Jerry was only about 47 when this was filmed.

[@AmbassadorJenks7086]

When you went to a Dead gig you needed to pack a lunch. The first time I saw the was at Festival and they played for four hours it was fucking great!!

[@markb3186]

I saw them 78 times always a hard to describe feeling but it came over me like i was watching history or something other-worldly -i had that feeling whenever i saw LED ZEPPELIN SHOWS or also STONES SHOWS or PAUL MCCARTNEY SHOWS sometimes at PINK FLOYD SHOWS but strongest with the dead at alpine valley or any led z show i have never had that spiritual strong kind of experience since I AM SO LUCKY IT IS RIDICULOUS I AM SPOILED ROTTON AND I LOVE IT ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK..I STARTED GOING NUTS WHEN THE BEATLES CAME OUT AND WAS THERE FOR THE WHOLE RIDE OF THIS ENTIRE ERA STARTED GOING TO CONCERTS IN 1969!!

[@bigsby1]

It's pretty amazing to think that Jerry was a couple of weeks shy of his 47th birthday here; he looked about 20 years older than that. His lifestyle really took a toll on him physically (and sadly he'd be gone just 6 years after this). But he could play and sing with so much soul, right up until the end.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

The only non original member in this version of the Dead was Brent on the boards. To answer your other questions, Phils bass has six strings and yes Jerry’s guitar is beautiful, it was made by an old friend of many of us the late Doug Irwin

[@user-bb6qf7xr4t]

Notice how he goes from fingerpicking to flat pick multiple times through the song

[@JB-Deadskins]

He can stash the pick under the nub of his middle finger and bring it back out seamlessly.

[@cartercarter645]

Love the reaction! Don’t know if you noticed but Jerry is missing half a finger on his right hand - the second finger the birdie finger. He grabs the pick with his thumb and first finger- gets those super clear notes - creates his own style. Keep Rockin’

Pretty much original line up, with the addition of a new keyboard player in the 1980s to 1990 - Brent Mydland.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

The only member of this band that was filtered in was the organ/piano player Brent Mydland. Jerry looked prematurely old because of his terrible health and overall abuse to his body

[@imSt1rfry]

not so fun fact: to expand on the keyboards that the fellow deadhead posted below me. originally pigpen was the og keyboard/piano and was basically the founder of at the time the warlocks. it was his connections that got them into the blues clubs. jerry never wanted the fame as i understand and didnt like being considered the leader of the bad (open to be wrong here). anyways they say the keys are cursed as they went through many. some of my favorite jams would have Keith and bruse hornsby. bruse being the one who wrote 'thats just the way it is' that 2pac would make a version of. its my understanding brent never felt like he was apart of the band after joining late. he suffered from depression and drug use. unfortunately at his last show you can see him shooting up on stage. some of the songs he wrote for the band will forever be my favorite and some make me cry everytime. such as 'i wil take you home'. one version he has his daughter on stage and sings to her, its so beautiful. ❤

[@tenjed4224]

With most bands of any genre using two drummers it is to increase the sound of the drums. With Billy and Mickey it is their own group in many aspects, with one playing one style and another playing another for most of a song. They were a group among themselves. Often, Deal would come not long before the midsession of drums and space in the second set that highlighted the work of the two behind the drums.

[@fredhurst2528]

For this era and lineup, they were at the top of their game that year. I was at all three Alpine Valley shows that year and I am still astounded when I listen to the recordings at how well played all three shows were.

[@jazzzman8050]

The Dead on a good night…this is why we kept coming to the shows! That communal joy, when “the music played the band”. Also, this is IMHO the most fun Dead song to play on guitar! Soloing over the verse changes is a fun challenge, soloing over the chorus changes is pure joy! 😺🎸👍

[@michaelbettonville5085]

Great choice! This is a great jam but it's pretty standard for what these guys did on a nightly basis except maybe the last couple of years. As for the apparent age differences, when the band started in '65 Weir was only 17 and Kreutzmann was 18. Meanwhile, Phil was 24 and Jerry was 23. Brent came along much later and he was several years younger than the rest. Jerry was operating in 'dog years' which caused him to age faster.

[@jeffmartin1026]

Damn, that one brought tears to my eyes. You feel at home because you are with the tribe. It is worth hearing the studio versions so you can see just how much fun and just how far they take their songs.

[@thesecretjewishspacelaser9959]

I’d put this 6 minute jam up against any other ever played by anyone.

[@archstanton_live]

Astute observations L33! The drummers are so in sync they have perfected the two-man flam. Jerry always loved this song. It was the first song on the first side of his first solo album *Garcia.* When performed live, it always closed the first set and he always put extra effort into it. Arguably...some of his hottest versions were not with the Dead but with the Jerry Garcia Band. All of Robert Hunter's lyrics are spot on. It is breathtaking. 🌹

[@jamessomers8808]

My first show was in 1990, so I missed this. Which means Jerry went into a coma and Brent died. So I was there for like that aftermath tour? I don’t know. Then I saw 15 shows and Jerry died again. I’m two years older now than he was when he died. I definitely cried. But that one night in Vegas he was on fire with Traffic opening up.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Jerry Garcia did a lot of drugs, which eventually killed him and keyboardist Brent Mydland, but it also made for good nights and bad nights. As Jerry went, the band went. A bad Jerry night was flat and a little boring. A good night could be spectacular. Every night they’d play about 45 minutes to an hour to warm up and get a feel for the crowd. Then they’d break for half an hour and design the show, decide what they were going to play. Then they’d play the main show. Truly unique.

L33, I know it’s because I can’t stretch my social security benefit to pay you for a reaction. But when are you going to start reacting to the vision of the band and producer! Live visions are dressed up for fans that know the music thoroughly before their concert!! Studio versions are just better, of course that is only my opinion!! Another opinion, I like solos as much as the next, but they take away from the original version, or it would be on the studio version, ie YES, the concert version are seldom extended substantially from the studio version. Of course, as I wrote above, it’s only my opinion!;)
