Grateful Dead - 1987 Summer Tribute (LoloYodel)

The Grateful Dead (Summer of 1987) - a LoloYodel re-mix (2012)
If YOU were around NJ or Oakland in July 1987, YOU might be on these videos !! Ouuuuh, gobelins ! Otherwise, classic stuff and also cool little insights if you dare watch 'til the end (including Garcia on peddle steel and Jerry's regular remarks filled with wisdom and love towards the end) !
3 various segments mixed : News Coverage clips (Dead Heads), Dylan & The Dead and two MTV shows ...
1987 seemed, in retrospect, a big transition year: post Jerry-coma, their 1st hit single "Touch of Grey" which made some believe it was the beginning of their demise, huge stadium shows ... and others who said "everything is possible from here".
Segment One (videos thanks to "Graceful Duck Archive"). When possible, I edited out the geeky TV newsroom introductions. Geez they look(ed) plastic and brought nothing special to the footage.
July 1987 Oakland
0:08 - 5:26 : Evening Magazine (KPIX, Channel 5) broadcast on 7-14-87
Nice interviews, historic footage, and plenty of live concert clips (Frost Amp. 1985 & 1987, and very cool Greek Theatre 1981, notably at the 2:56 min. mark)
5:27 - 6:46 : Everning News (KRON, Channel 4) broadcast on 7-24-87 (Dead/Dylan news report)
Reporter: Don Knapp. Nice exchange with ol' Uncle Bobo (Bill Graham) at the 6:15 min. mark.
6:47 -- 9:41 : Everning News (KGO, Channel 7) broadcast on 7-24-87 (Dead/Dylan news report)
Reporter: Aaron Edwards
9:42 -- 11:22 : Everning News (KPIX, Channel 5) broadcast on 7-24-87 (Dead/Dylan news report)
Reporter: Stan Wilson
Segment Two (video thanks to "Brokedown House Production")
7-24-1987 Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, California
Pro-shot (not the best quality video), Set 3 : Dylan & The Dead
11:25 : "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" (with Jerry Garcia on peddle steel !)
Segment Three (videos thanks to "Graceful Duck Archive").
8-8-1987 MTV "Day Of The Dead"
Starts at 15:45 (a day-long salute to the Grateful Dead on MTV)
Again, I edited out almost all of the TV studio pre-segment introductions (essentially those of Ms. China Kantner) which were essentially "dead air".
... again, the dead heads, making "In the Dark". The show, parking lot, shots were certainly prior to the July 12th 1987 Giants Stadium, NJ concert.
2nd part (28:55 to end) : Special MTV documentary "Dead On - The Grateful Dead Alive In The 80's" with appearances of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Dan Healy (that's him in the thumb nail !), Ken Kesey, Les Kippel ("Relix" Publisher), Toni Brown, Jacaeber Kastor, Bill Graham, Peter Martin, Stanley Mouse, Gary Gutierrez, Rick Griffin...
An overall view of the Grateful Dead now (well 1987) and before ...
Again, I edited out the flabby TV segues and MTV "ads".
Long live The Grateful Dead !

1987 was a fantastic year! I only missed 22 shows.......my best full year run.........those were the days!

[@TheK7aloha]

I was there with ya!!! Aloha from Colorado!

[@thejudgefrom69]

I wish mann

[@terryatpi]

Me too. To hell you ride

[@arjunmitra732]

Great to see Jerry on pedal steel!! Rare footage too :)

[@kevinmaddog3064]

Yeah that was cool!

[@JoshDone]

Before the internet, I looked forward to getting a copy of Depree's Diamond News at every show to see what the band had been playing. They were awesome.

[@elissasangi-hd9om]

Remember way back when, when the Grateful Dead world send manilla envelopes packed with Dead stuff? They were great!

[@seanegan3296]

Me too. I was a Set List Junkie. Set lists Set lists Set lists!!!!!!

[@jonathanlund590]

I wonder how many teenagers or twenty something's who don't know or have never been to a dead show were sitting at home around the country watched this MTV thing and saw this huge parking lot party and said fuck yeah I'm going when they come and that's part of the darkest days agead

[@mojojojo815]

Uncle Bobo. "Some events like these are very special to us, and others... We meet payroll"

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I love it that I was part of the Gratefuldead family in 1980 but met Phil + Bobby in 1978 in Springfield Massachusetts ! ♥️🐰🐇🌹🌙

[@brianjansen3103]

I spent about 25yrs listening to the early 70s stuff nonstop but somehow I've transitioned into listening to nothing but 80s anymore

[@tcantel1]

They're a band beyond description, like Jehovah's favorite choir... Modern day shaman, leading us in worship and teaching us how to pray... Sweat your prayers, dance your cares... and roll away the dew... And when theres nothing left to do...just smile, smile, smile! Thanks to the brave mystics like the Dead, whose inspiration moves us brightly reminding us that its all a dream... Are U Kind? RIP Jerry, Brent, Pig, Keith, and all ye others gone, but e'er forgotten.

[@jimcapley3843]

Yeah Jehovah! Is Good!

[@NicholasOsella]

how do you miss someone that you never met? I mean, Jerry and the guys, they resemble and embody the sixties...so much that when I listen to them, I am transported to those times. Memories, which aren't mine, suddenly affix themselves to what identity I possess. And, I become a treasure of the past mentality - where everything was pure, confusing, sacred yet stainless. To have been alive then is to be alive Now. And to be alive is to recognize those same things with where we Are...

[@danielashelford]

This is awesome!!!! This video gave me some great feelings about seeing the Grateful Dead starting in 1989 , just after this. It makes me realize what attracted me to this wonderful , once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for this video!!!

[@elissasangi-hd9om]

1985 and up, their shows on the East Coast from Virginia up, were indescribable! The JGB shows - there are no words for them.

[@TheK7aloha]

Same here!!! Aloha from Colorado!

Thanks for making this grate compilation! I was there in Oakland 87! Didn't see myself, but recognized a few faces in the interviews. And I was delighted to see a few moments of Indra with his flute, we used to run into him everywhere....

[@wbrosen]

Grateful Dead. Only thing to save the 80's.

[@MCA_Lives]

Love the "tribute" haha MTV covering the Grateful Dead..... It's an oxymoron in this day and age! Keep on truckin' my friend.

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I did have lemmings follow me so when I was backstage I had to have a big guy go out with me into the crowd but usually to go c my friend Dan Healy ! Love so much to everyone who is still alive from the early days of the dead ! But also much love to the new deadheads bears children ! ♥️🐰🐇🌹🥰😍😘☀️☠️💀🫧💧🪽🕊️🌙🌟⚡️✨👽🪐🛸🚀🔥👻💦🌈⭐️⚡️💫

Shouldve gave your pal a smack for ruining some great moments by fucking with bobbys voice in a weird attempt at ousting him! Cocaine is bad for the frontal lobe

[@TheK7aloha]

I have that Grateful Dead bracelet! I was on this tour!!! Such a fun video!! My favorite… Let it Grow.

[@MrMdmilitaria]

I remember him, I did a lot of the 80s tours, did not know himpersonally though, just remember him from the lot. Iam looking for a news spot where I was in a snippet at RFK in 89, I think I was about 19, the news asked me how I got from show to show, I bullshitted and said spare changing,,Id kill to see that clip!

[@lu.c.clarke5411]

a road trip and this music ..did that and love the band since..

[@djinnmagik4817]

Are you a musician too Lolo 😁❤️‍🔥🎶 Love your deadhead video 🤩

[@kindup2]

I watched this whole "Day of the Dead" thing on MTV back in '87. I taped it, or a lot of it, and watched it more than once. This brings back memories. Amazing what the you can find here on the Internet. Thank you for this.

[@user-zf6fv2sg1e]

Hello there from Patti Cornell thank goodness for the Grateful Dead hello there Bobby we’re and Jerry Carisa

[@michaeltylerable]

thankyou --what a wonderful trip through our youth--mule thnx ya again

[@jeffj257]

Between the beer drinking women and the naked guy that had to carry his ticket in with his teeth.... that was awesome

[@drewbonsall384]

Love the cars

[@m1a1garand59]

John, if your out there I'm so sorry man. I got so sick I just had to leave. While trying to get out I had to walk around the whole stadium in order to leave. that was the scariest thing I ever saw at a show. People where throwing a ticket booth at the doors and the state police had riot gear on. After that show the dead sent out a hand signed letter to everyone regarding crashing. They said right out if it happens again they will not come back to the east coast at all. It helped.

[@jackrussell108]

7-4-1987 first show. Jerry on peddle steel. Dylan/Dead

[@namcat53]

Yet another document of that scene. Thanks. Dennis @2:22 having fun. Hello???

[@jeffclemetson5582]

wish that optimism lasted into the 90s. loved every moment in Deadlind but this energy was past tense be the time I saw my 100 shows

[@Joesdifferent]

I'm excited

[@valedslinger6290]

It was a very good year.

[@drewbonsall384]

I want to first thank the medical staff who kept the big man alive my first show would of been in 85 at hersey park but my bus didn't come by until 3/31/87 and its been a long strange ever since

[@richardwalton3521]

In 87 I saw them at Long Beach Arena, Ventura Fairgrounds and Anaheim Stadium

[@poconomoe]

1987 i was 19 and seen my first Dead show a few months earlier 3/31/87 Spectrum Was at the Dylan and the Dead at JFK Stadium in Philly a few days prior to the Meadowlands date. i believe A lifetime ago.

[@NicholasOsella]

If I'm ever on television, I don't want it to say "Academic" or "Entrepreneur." It's going to say Deadhead, for God's sake.

[@magtownrep]

Ha! Bobby couldn't find the fretboard. Classic. Jerry telling people not to buy their records is pretty awesome too.

[@MrStuVW]

GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU, L O V E

Nice shades Mickey.

[@braurau]

Gotta miss Jerry. O:-)

[@m1a1garand59]

What Bill just said, The days of crashing! it made me sick. A good friend of mine at the time was almost beaten to death because of them. He was at the football game and then came to the show, While trying to get in with his ticket in his hand he was beaten by security and cops. I was wondering what happened to him. He was supposed to next to me. Then half show the lights came up and I saw him at the bottom of the stairs with two security. he was so bloody I couldn't believe it I got sick.

[@haileyshannon7548]

Bob Dylan doesn't want people filming his concerts! He also had several very large men curbstomp the MTV guys!

[@MCA_Lives]

And furthur on we go... Anyone headed to cmac this coming Friday?

[@ispi05]

i was at the Meadowlands 1987 with Nicolas Scialiano, Freddie, Panama, forget who else. Many of meadowlands by way there were Hare Krishnas too, are did Hare Krshnas only go to football games at the stadiums? (!)

[@m1a1garand59]

I was at this show at Giants stadium and it was hot man. We saw I lot of wild shit. Some people opened a fire hydrant and had it open so high that it took six people to hold one dude against the water hitting his back and then it sprayed up in the air. I'm surprised he didn't break his back. But man It was raining colors. At first I thought is was just a rainbow from the heat but as I looked around every one was in colors, The water falling down around me was so cool and slow to hit the ground.

[@teresademaria7462]

I was there! That was when we all went over the wall to the floor at the same time! Wild! I fell right on my butt..lol...I do remember how hot it was that day...whew...they turned hoses on us on the floor, didn't they? Or was just that my imagination? 🤣

[@1durila]

wow when mtv was a music channel

[@thejudgefrom69]

Do the right drugs and at a moderate pace, and you’ll live happy forever. By drugs I mean weed acid and or shrooms, for you sensitive deadhearts of the war on drugs.. we aren’t all just heroine addicts, we have families now

[@tjw3999]

their new song all along the watchtower lmfao

[@LudiCrust.]

Touch of grey didn’t hasten Garcia’s demise. If anything it prolonged his life because he was working himself to death for money. In the early 80s he toured & played constantly for money to afford his almost $1,000 a day habit. He may have been sober at this specific point but he picked it back up at the end of 1990 when Brent died.

[@dockaiser]

5:37 ... he's complaining about the musical void they had then, haha ......

[@wakeoftheflood2]

Mickey where's that movie you promised us??

[@haileyshannon7548]

Amazing but Bob Dylan is awful.

[@drbaker3845]

I think you mean Bob's voice. Yea I was on this whole summer tour 87. Canada's wonderland theme park and on perfectly manicured lawn it started out mellow. Got in the pavillion for second step and they put on a AMAZING scarlet-fire -estimated and what really blew minds was this SICK moter cycle space you have to listen for it ..at the show it was awesommme. The "I saw Jerry on the bumper cars!" reminded me of Hershey Park lol Anyway I could go on and on but I'm getting such amazing memories of this tour just thinking about it!! Thanks whoever put this on keep them coming!

[@StewBedazzle]

yeah dylan sucks lol

[@markrinella49]

Thanks

i wonder if that couple is still married lol
