Never will I be friends with anyone who doesn’t live the Grateful Dead. 🎉❤🎉

[@user-mx4vb8id4c]

lonely boy...............

[@austina8797]

Hanging out here in my cabin with my dogs in the foothills of Northern Colombia Sierra Mountains on a cool night listening and watching! this show from '82 is a special treat.

[@abbaroolew]

That was my only New Years show. I stood outside with a sign “I need a miracle” and a guy who worked with Bill Graham productions came up to me and sold me a ticket for $20. After I was inside, I saw a mob of people charge the doors to try and get in, and the cops beat them back. I was feeling so lucky to be inside. Then I found a good spot in the middle of the floor and sat on some structure that gave me a good view of the show. It was great.

[@Turquoise1971]

Is your name Bill Clinton?

[@JurassicBlueberries]

I clicked start randomly and watched this whole show, thank you, I audio recorded this concert from inside the show from an FM broadcast signal on a local radio staion, my tape case covers still to this day are made of a new years hat party favor from that night, I was 19, had no tickets,I was from NY and Chris, Julie and I all got in, that was 30 years ago next week, wow, time flys.

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

right on sir :) gotta have our daily jerry garcia.......

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

You're comment gave me a hearty grin I feel this show is worthy of the official release the setlist is cool the Etta James encores only reinforce that notion for me Lol I just watched Tucker Carlson on Rogan talking about how he stole his parents car in San fran when he was 15n drove 2 hrs to a dead gig got miracle 1 ticket n then abandoned his 13 brother who was tripping balls and how he went in woundup chains making in a bathroom stall peaking on psilocybin fungus buttons and subsequently found his brother in the lot . Lol you just don't get life experiences like that at non Dead concerts lol

[@LotusRiver]

was here half naked with long hair, tie-dye skirts, rings on fingers and bells on ankles while dancing in black birkestocks...........Best 16-40 + YEARS of my life..follow them STILL..House band I am certain...thanks for this sooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@charlie.something]

82 was so beautiful. thank you.

[@Newvokid1]

I was in the horn section with the Tower horns behind Etta. I would LOVE to see Tell Mama - Mic Gillette

[@sethweiss2509]

Jerry on Cumberland just blew me away!

[@jimiamfirshur4778]

When the boys find a groove they can really get a good Cumberland goin' !

[@sethweiss2509]

I’m back for another serving.

[@austina8797]

Yep. ditto

[@bunnybeckman8029]

Brent added so much to the Gratefuldead that high energy !

[@anavaleriazm1019]

Yes!! Brent have to the band it’s best era.

[@CaptainsOrders]

if i wasnt 4 years old in 82, i'd totally be raging the rail like woah!!!

[@rboni1973]

I know everybody hated Dayjob ,but I always thought it was the Dead's way of saying" OK guys we've all; had fun, but don't take any of this too seriously. Living on the road takes more brains and balls than most of you have got!"And God bless the child who's got his own stash, 9 to 5 and a place to crash!

[@ctcards2636]

82 is one of my fav years of the Dead. Alpine 82 (which is also a Dicks Pick) is one of my fav Dead shows. :-)

[@GuitarfiendIII]

I could listen to Jerry forever !

[@starcloud4959]

wow etta james in the third set.one of THE greatest singers of all time. jerry's singing doesn't seem to be on form this night doesn't matter though he has the coolest vocals in rock...just wish pig pen was up there with them to rock the house down..

[@rboni1973]

I love to jam along to the Dead on flute

[@glab19403]

Effin A dude... thanks!! as a keyboard player and a huge Mr. Mydland fan and my inspiration, I just wish there were more up close and prolonged shots of this mysterious, enigmatic, yet highly gifted member of the band, in EVERY GD video… He was shown a lot in ‘Downhill From Here’ but few others…

[@anavaleriazm1019]

Yes. I totally agree with you. 😊

[@44elisdad]

I was 23 years old and I was there!

[@glenfinston704]

I was there and I was 17! Thank you Tower of Power horns and Etta James!

[@alisonjohnson8432]

good year for tha Roses.

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I’m not used of seeing Jerry’s beard so long !

[@ronhess3567]

This was after I moved from CA. I've only heard of this concert, but it was always talked about as special. Etta was a real gem. I believe they were both doing at that period and on New Years. I'm loving this. It's already in my favorites, THANK YOU, MAN!

[@pondponder]

Thanks for the upload! Great show

[@martinslade777]

I was there. It was an awesome show. Been down a lot of roads seen a lot of things listen to a live dead show good memories always brings. Memories of youth memories of hope memories bring me peace helping to cope. Thoughts of inspiration I could never play like Jerry but I can make a difference this burden I will carry.

[@2rockergurl]

Yahooo Another Great one I was lucky enough to be at

[@glenfinston704]

I was there my first NYE with the Dead! Such a fine show! Thank you for uploading!

[@soulcensus2011]

Thank you so much for these great uploads I've been watchin everyday!!!

[@utapah]

As always Thank you for upping Voodoo! Im sure we crossed paths at many a show since we were seeing them at the same time..It was REALLY never the same after Brent left.

[@KlondikeG]

This Cumberland is Hott!!! I love when Jer ripz on those Cumberland's. Something about those 80-83 Cumberland's. Wish they would of played it during those 77-79 shows. Would of loved to hear how Jerry's Travis Bean or how Wolf would sound doing that tune. Jerry makes his Tiger roar.

[@brandoncargile847]

Thanks again Voodoo for keeping the music alive! Peace and love to you.

[@sarahsalmon123]

Grateful for all your videos

[@bunnybeckman8029]

[@CaptainsOrders]

[@jpotts3]

2:36:20 Hard to Handle The night before- even hotter, especially as unexpected. I remember Bill saying something about more musicians, coming out to play some more- so we knew it was more than the usual encore. My first west coast shows, this New Years 82 run...

[@colevanbalen7205]

one song in and my right ear sounds like its gettin the brent boosted audio. love it

[@Tonyb7195]

Iwt tryed to tape the show my road dog sal left the show with my mikes after the show I asked him why he said Jerry chould see us and would not played any rare songs meanwhile I'm tripping thinking some one got tape the show now after all these year😊 get watch it 😅

[@fit2btiedyed]

Awesome, Father Time on a Shroom. Priceless!!!

[@22logan714]

THE CLOSING OF THE Oakland Auditorium on Lake Merritt loved that show MDA all the way

[@edwardcollins539]

Jerry's really swinging his axe at this concert. It's funny because this concert was on a Friday. I had moved out to Cal. from Col. I was working in Oakland and living in Berkeley. I was riding home from work at about 5:30pm. I read in the paper that they were playing at the auditorium that night. I saw them there about a year ago when I first came out. So I was thinking to myself "oh well, that's nice but I don't think I'll go because I've got a good job now" I also started drinking too much. Then I read in the article, as I was passing the arena that they were playing a new song they had written called "Day Job".

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

Good tenting space outdide the Aud , that year...... everyone cool......bill braham and the band came out and did Volleyball ( with oranges ).

[@thatbillkelly]

Love the jam during Sugaree!

[@radioman312]

This is Rock n Roll Royalty right here!

[@goldiecob]

hot CRS and a very nice Brent solo during CC. The thire set is some seroius church! Phil bombs all over the place. Great show!

[@Darrylizer1]

Watching Bobby and Etta interact during makes me wish that she'd played with them when Pigpen was in the band. Now that would have been something! Still this is a fantastic show. I'm gonna go to the LMA to check out the show before this one. Damn if that one's hotter it's gonna practically be molten.

[@rboni1973]

You can see the whole band is really getting into it when she sings with them

[@MsZorba73]

@voodoonola Thank you so much

[@glab19403]

@voodoonola No doubt dude, as much as I like Bruce and Vince, the last five years after Brent (90-95) were sort of predictable.. the music lost clarity, and Jerry became more disengaged

[@davidsthubbins176]

When I heard Pigpen sing the “mama killed a chicken” bit, I just assumed it was part of The Rub. But I guess that line comes from Bottle Up and Go”?

[@charleswoerner]

Jerry just kills it the whole first set.

[@bunnybeckman8029]

How could anyone forget his name ? Jerry Garcia ! ❤️❤️❤️🐰☠️💀👻🪐👽🛸🥳♥️🐰

[@MrDoctorx67]

He says "fatal tune" in this Cold Rain. NICE!

[@jackkelly4712]

After watchin mayer try to play these songs.. U realize just how good Jerry was..

[@glab19403]

Rockkon rocka...!

[@wigginoutman]

Why do I keep coming back to this Ship of Fools ?

[@shelleyw1858]

Memories and a stub

[@GuitarfiendIII]

Could any of the rest of you hear Matthew ??? Brent was fckn ROCKIN them keys !!!

[@wazzzit]

strangely appropriate - 'Brokedown Palace" after Etta's performance: Fare you well, fare you well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

[@neillippard]

wheeeee!

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

love the bass sound right off the bat here... you can really hear phil outgrowing the 4 strings... bass lines like octopus tentacles seeking to go higher and lower...

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

also... im only a few songs in but.... where is the between song noodling? seems weird and... umm... professional? :)

[@denniscampbell6185]

Nice tell mama

[@rboni1973]

PS The harp player is sexy! He's got some nice muscles!

[@guineveregruntle6746]

Jerry was looking rough but playing strong.

[@ral316]

swing and groove

[@louisaclarkson1243]

I was there...

[@joeryan1369]

Great show. I am beginning to listen to it now. The third set looks really flavorful and with Etta James to boot. Are you G.D. Family? I congratulate you on these lovely recordings and sharing them. Lots of love.

[@tonyb2348]

phil on the left breaking out his 6 string on a five night run theres a dancer spinning like a top a top less freak coming down the stairs as peggy o plays a man dress up as jack straw find a miracle ticket wake up to find im the eyes of the world in the parking lot got one good ring baby you can tell

[@readmelancholystrumpetmaster]

Those early heroin years brought out the best of Jerry's musical instincts.

[@GuitarfiendIII]

chippety pop I've heard some good stuff while he was using and I've hards some slop.BFA was the high point for me.I'm partial to anything Terrapin and before.But,I love ALL of it !

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

+chippety maybe it was the smack.....maybe it was us...

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

+Geoffrey Russell things had changed..... so had the drugs

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

+Geoffrey Russell time was .... a doobie and a hit was cool... turned nasty towards the end.

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

+Geoffrey Russell before Brent died , he and myself would sit and discuss the " who would die first. Prior to Ventura shows he decided that it was onerous...and that as much as he loved ithe band,,,,he couldn't keep up. so,,,,,we did the Nitrous thinging for a few days,,,,, nothing like a " sunset : on a life in Nitrious.

[@musicman2001]

on the 30th I was siting outside in tint city with no tick & no money a guy sat down with me ask where i was from. I told hem Norfolk VA. (long story short) he gave me a miracle and a dose. im on the floor 20 feet from jerry never herd TPL befor only lines jerry sings in pr. land as he sings norfolk VA he looks right at me and tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin and the poor boys on the line. NO SHIT TRUE STORY. one of the beatiful things that happened to me going to shows

[@alisonjohnson8432]

he's my main alabama Man!

[@musicman2001]

that suggeree is the shit YA MAN!

[@MrDoctorx67]

Mr. Mydland tearing shit APART in CC Rider....This show is HOT HOT HOT!

[@alisonjohnson8432]

powernotes!

[@TheClassicMusicMan]

During Sugar magnolia Bobby says "Holy Fuck look at all those balloons!"

[@alisonjohnson8432]

listen to book of rules by Bobby Weir Band!

[@jpotts3]

The night before was MUCH hotter, really, musically- especially The Etta James set. But hey, New Years Eve is always fun, evenif not the hottest of the usual 5 show series- ah, those were the days!

[@m1a1garand59]

I must agree, Brent was the mainstay of the band and in my opinion did not get the respect he so richly deserved. Ya have to laugh at Bob Weir though...He hate's ballons and during these New Year shows they alway had loads of them. He has been quoted as saying "I Hate Those FN Ballons, There so dangerous when they get on Stage" In this video you hear him say it also. Great show's Thank you for posting!

[@thomasdoyle1891]

glab; share your thoughts. whenever i need to check back in with brent i go to the truckin up to buffalo dvd and watch the nfa. there is a minute or so where brent and jerry trade riffs. Both guys are having a ball.

[@jpotts3]

2:23:41 Ms Etta James!

[@adrianpeterspeters6149]

another hymn.....er...what are these comments, re.,I was there,hey if you were there and remember,you were not there at all, Iwas told that I went,as well as other religious "G.D. " concerts, cannot remember it my self,oh,well arriving anyway, I remember.............

[@44elisdad]

I was there for the whole run and got into every show.Some of that run was a bit blurry, but not all of it. I remember that night not only because Bill Graham rode into 1983 on a giant mushroom, but because I actually went up to him later on that night and shook his and thanked him for putting one hell of a five night shindig. Another memory able to pierce through the haze that night was watching about a half dozen or so friends who formed a dancing circle while they passed around a Visine bottle full of dreams just like it was a big phattie dropping it on each others tongues or even in theirs eyes while they simultaneously feed each other fresh strawberries in the theatrically debauched manner of a Hollywood produced Roman orgy scene and they didn't stop passing the Visine till the bottle ran dry. I don't see how I could ever forget witnessing that. Later on after the show we were fed a breakfast of rolls, jelly and fresh oranges, and they allowed us to stay in the venue till dawn. I'm glad I didn't forget everything...

[@jonathan13holland]

this is fantastic thank you. Can u tell me how this was recorded, obviously sbd but how did u get it so great on here.

[@alisonjohnson8432]

enuff to make a hippopotomus want to roll inthe mud ona tuesday beneath a sparkling moon of desires.

[@alisonjohnson8432]

if you like good muzak listen to classics of love w/ lyric sheet by common rider!

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I knew Jerry all through the 80 s , I never saw him then with a grey beard or is it the lighting ?

[@jasonupton8292]

do they have any of the night before on youtube especially the etta james set. was there a cool poster to this concert. i'd love to check that out too :):)

[@jasonfarris4354]

Not Jerry's best solo on Ramble on Rose. Looked a bit haggard here, partied a bit too hard before the gig perhaps :-)

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I would like a bite from that mushroom please !?

[@bunnybeckman8029]

Maybe I’m wrong because this looks different then the one I have ! ?

[@SteveRain]

too freakin cool 100 dead shows ! wtfg v nola'z

[@IwanttoliveinParis]

How many Dead shows do you think were filmed/videotaped? A thousand? Was every show being videotaped by the mid 1980s?

[@kerrstarr1]

..."Brent was the mainstay of the band"...???????????? ok.... ( i'm kinda thinkin it was ol' jerrsters....) (*barbed wire whipping party- yeah. i'm sure bobby hated balloons)

[@Gumbo72203]

dude you don't happen to have 12/31/81 do you? I'd kill to actually SEE that Dark Star.

[@nardwiel6882]

Has Jerry's playing style changed at this point?

[@alisonjohnson8432]

you wish!

[@glab19403]

Alabama getaway...! I bet you're a cute hippie chick ... ! yeahhhh...!

[@rboni1973]

Who was the special guest?

[@glab19403]

Wow.. perhaps there is some credence to your argument... but I totally disagree. His sound did change a little in the late 80's, to a brighter, sort of a carousel sound .. but creative musicians are always changing sound... Brent did much to keep the cohesion and energy alive in the band in the late 80's as Jerry's playing became predictable (ie Blow Away, Crimson White and Indigo DVD).. his rough lead vocal was signature, man.. reminiscent of classic soul singers like Ray Charles...
