Grateful Dead 4-15-82 Providence Civic Center Providence RI

[@chrisgould7606]

I saw this when I was 17 I’m now 60 It never gets old Just so perfect

[@photoslum]

The lighting. Thats something I really miss. No crazy blinding lights, no constant array. Just a little something to set the mood.

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

bump :).......and you gotta dig jerry brought all four speakers :). that vertical jbl 1200 watt cab was otherworldly....4 jbl e-120's .... i don't think there ever was another guit man who had that kinda wattage...and made it sound so calm and pretty...... :).

[@JimTurenne]

Just checked my tix stub from this show - $10 - what a Deal!

[@JohnKovac-k3h]

Cheapest I ever got was for the Stanley Theater shows, 750 day of the show, but those were the days.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

I'm so grateful for all the shows posted ‼️‼️‼️

[@chrissymcgrath7661]

My first concert ever. One of the gang back in '82 posted a pic on facebook in 2009, of all of us outside before the concert. I'm here watching this because we are still commenting on that photo ten years later! I call it 'The time in our lives that stands still and just is.'

[@markarchambault4783]

This was my first Dead show too. I would love to see a "Dave's Pick's release of it.

[@SM-Foxomoxo]

This was my first also at 15 ! I wish this quality recording started at the beginning. Alabama Getaway, Greatest Story Ever Told, Candyman, CC Rider before RR Rose but all the available audio sources are heavy with audience which has been great for nostalgic but I’m so glad this is here! ❤

[@sg1770]

Jerry is a legend. To this day, nobody has played with this emotion. I miss this man so much.

[@barryschamach1472]

Two years later in Providence: powerful.blotter, 4th row center, and a killer show changed my life forever. That was also a Scarlet Fire Estimated Eyes -//Dew night, insanity. Thanks for this,Voodoo, it’s as close to time machine as we’re gonna get!

[@bigtreesnotbigstumpz]

This is the way I remember it. The sound that is. SBDs from the early 80s sound muffled with a garbly sound and too much vocal and keyboard in the mix. Not the way they sounded then. This video picks up what they sounded like better than SBDs from the period. Fabulous! 1982 is an overlooked year and a good one. Summer tour was one of the best.

[@matthewpai]

82-85 ... best years imo

[@mongobanger]

my first show I was so green ...took me till 84 to get on the bus..toured from 84-91 , moved to the bay area in 85...inched my way through dead dreams to another land..

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I think it sounds great ! I love this so much because I can’t seem to get over them ! I live in the past because I don’t c any future 4 me !

[@bcdigiart141]

I was at this show.... in Providence.. I saw them 4 years in a row ....4 years they played Morning Dew.. each one was so unique.

[@ripple947]

Morning Dew 1982-83-84

[@gregcrosby5900]

the very first show I went to my uncle took me he was watching me I was 7 years old and I never had seen anything like it I even took a dose I'm 42 years old now I seen the Dead 185 times in my life this was special show but 3/15/90 was the best I think they all were amen Gratefully deadicatie to the Dead

[@JamesSmith-vk2ky]

😀

[@MrBogey2]

Feel good to lie on the internet brah?

[@shawncarpenter1972]

If you took a dose at 7 years old your uncle is a piece of s*** but I really think you're lying

[@scottyj946]

Sure you did

[@hakashaqU812]

This angle shows the brilliance of Billy and Mickey

[@DaveFazzino]

Thanks for this gem of a video. Just like it felt seeing them my first time two nights later in Hartford What a long strange trip it's been ....

[@IggyM]

I've come back to this video so many times, great stuff. love the drumming. thanks!

[@pauzer922]

Growing to love 1982. As has been stated in a great number of comments over on the Archive, '82 seems like the band was really starting to gel with Brent and doing all kinds of interesting stuff, like Brent and Jerry trading measures on the outro to Shakedown Street - territory that Keith and Jerry never explored. The Go to Heaven tunes were also fully flushed out and rocking.

[@brettpedersen628]

I have no doubt that the Dead improved musically during the 80s and peaked in the few years before Brent passed. Theyre good in all their incarnations, with Bruce, Vince et al, but that long period with Brent they really got it together as musicians.

[@michaelknott1362]

1980-1982 are pinnacle dead/JGB years in my books....

[@LudiCrust.]

This was the last year Jerry’s voice was consistently good. By 1984 his voice was irreparably damaged. I’d say the Brent era was downhill after October 89 with the Warlock shows & the Nightfall of Diamonds show a week later. It was around this time Brent started really losing it & hitting the wrong keys & even hitting keys with his elbows & hands when he didn’t mean to which explains why they started indulging him less & less. By the last few shows of his life in summer 1990 he was having zero interplay & chemistry with Jerry.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

They did awesome Victim or the crime, Watchtower and then Brent died and you never heard them again. But new territory and inspiration opened up with Vince and... RIP Jerry and Vince 🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏

[@carljw316smp]

I absolutely love the person who made this video... i love them. Thanks

[@philipmazonson4694]

wholy shit , my first show , I was so green and high ,I thought the heads dancing and "flying" in the halls were hare krishna…and I was hallucinating a giant turtle on stage and an octopus was chewing on mickey's hands during drums…a show or two later I was on the bus for 8 years!

[@tommcdonough9029]

my first show as well...

[@theopapageorge4797]

PHILIP YOU LEGEND!!!

[@tdhayes1]

love it!

[@miker7795]

what else can you say to that experience!?

[@matthewmaass5268]

Thats shits funny

[@coyote023]

I'll tell ya what Mr. VooDoo this was one tour you made sure you got in every nite. These cat's was on fire. The whole band just looked like they were having tons and tons of fun so we did what most hippie's do we had no other choice but to break out the fungus soaked in liquid and hold on as it got stranger and stranger. I missed them there nites very much. We could really use a way-way back machine now. This stuff takes me way back takes me way back...........................................

[@TheTestingGrounds]

Fungus soaked in liquid? Isn't that a bit redundant?

[@wakeoftheflood2]

@@TheTestingGrounds seems like it'd absorb hundreds of hits, not calling BS but ..hmmmm...

[@mikemokr]

My first show, and wound up being the longest first set I'd ever see, at 11 songs. Anyway, my main point is THANK YOU voodoonola for all the great uploads.

[@hardongear]

Spring '82! The best

[@flashlightdimmed]

My third show. Awesome Dew. Thanks for posting!

[@TomG315]

The 4/19/82 Baltimore Civic Center is another ripper.

[@adambehrendt1627]

Awesome spacey echoey sound just like i remember it rolling lilting fairy music...althea

[@levink]

My First Show Too!!! Holy F@ck!!! I Remember Very Little... I was 19... Lol On The Bus until Brent's passing... We saw Jerry wasn't gonna be far behind... Sad.... I still try and listen to at least a show a day.... Long Strange Trip For Sure! ;)

[@sneakerfacevids441]

What a perfect, mellow show.

[@craigsimon7658]

Right on!!👍

[@opjoe1]

17 year old me was in that audience. Time flies!

[@JGarcia77]

Your posts are excellent!! I was a this one as I was at so many that you put up...Thank you, voodoonola!!!!!

[@craigsimon7658]

Great show and setlist 👍👍🍄

[@fredmossberg2069]

My final show w/Jerry. Got in for free since a buddy's father was friends with the guy in charge of the horse patrol. LOL...I recall a brief snow shower with big flakes when the show let out. Anybody else? Honestly not my fave era, but Jerry's voice does sound good on Althea. Thanks for posting!

[@JohnYuzik]

I love you Uncle John. Jesus Christ I miss you, Jerry

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

Jerry Garcia I miss you Jesus

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

but they keep touring without him with the same name as if he were just another geetaw playa don't they? obama and money is their thing.

[@joefulginiti3344]

How nice...comforting "food" for the spirit.

[@michaelc.ateoate979]

I love the Fire on the Mountain it's really snazzy on this night

[@craigsimon7658]

It sure is!!👍

[@gratefuldev23]

Jerry's voice on He's Gone is just heartbreaking.

[@haroldkrishna4116]

I was there. It was a tremendous show. I said to my friend on the way down (yeah, if you know your geography, we're Massholes), I hope they play Scarlet Begonias. By the time I played it, I was totally blown away, and of course, imagine trying to figure out a lot of Dead songs, for which the intro can be, shall we say, extended? Well my friend figured it out before me, and said, "Hey they're playing Scarlett Begonias!"

[@tommcdonough9029]

My first show... row 15 or something... what a trip!

[@bob733333]

Check out 4/17/82 also. Set 2 is legendary stuff. '82 is possibly the most under rated year.

[@jacksams5869]

Awesome Show , Danced all night PCC was a great Place to See the Boys !!

[@deadheadri5779]

I worked in the wholesale farmer's Market, within walking distance to the Civic Center. Wasn't much of a Deadhead til 86/87 but loved the scene. Some hippie chicks were walking along the dock and we started talking.. ended up leaving our water hose hanging out the back door so they and others could fill their bottles.. (~):-}

[@craigsimon7658]

Get any snatch??

[@klaussmith]

Thanks so much for posting, I was at this show and tour, 9 shows from Syracuse NY thru Baltimore. I wish there was video of Phil’s “Earthquake Space” and “The Raven” from the last two nights on the tour. Overall this is a good show, with a few magical moments. I really like we have the majority of the band framed, (will always trade video of Phil over Brent), when you can watch the interplay between “The Boys” Thanks again voodoonola.

why/? they just replaced him and still kept the name. no biggie.

[@craigsimon7658]

Me too!😎

[@manalishifilms]

@@cultfilmfreakreviews YOU REALLY THINK SO,DUDE? you can replace JIMMY PAGE, JIMI HENDRIX...NO, NOT JERRY GARCIA. LET ME TELL YOU: KEPT WHAT NAME? THERE WAS NO GRATEFUL DEAD AFTER 1995. IT WAS ALL TRIBUTES AND NEW NOMENCLATURES. CARRIED ON WITH THE SAME TORCH,THOUGH...AND WAVED THAT FLAG HIGH...!!! DNF WITH THE GD!!

[@bogthing1]

Pretty sure I was there, just had our first child a month before, but...good shows until they stopped coming to the area!

this is not a bad show. I live in Providence and saw my first shows at the PCC. 1981, 12 years old.

[@chuckchesler7846]

Killer! Thanks so much for the upload! Where's Brent??? lol

[@davemoretz]

I believe its one of his Ibanez artist series guitars, Jeff Hasselberger made a handful of different ones for Bob in the late 70's early 80's. His cowboy fancy vine inlay, violin sunburst one was the most used. Could be wrong though! It sounds a little to bright to be a Gibson to me, it has that classic Bobby middle single coil tone to it.

[@davidjackson1605]

Nice jam before drums!

[@EricLaughingWillow]

This is my 1st show too.

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

My niece was down front of Bobby but I was backstage dancing my ass off ! Does anyone remember seeing me ?!

[@edbizz3956]

2nd show of my life w/ GD. cops on horses broke up the happen at the front doors

[@tonydanis1480]

Great show. I loved this period, went to so many shows. Could not STAND those sickly green stage lights they used for awhile, used to make me nauseous.

[@photoslum]

I prefer them to all the later type stage lighting crap with lasers and stuff. Just one color at a time has always been my favorite. Saw Robin Trower in 83- green lights, sometimes red. That was all. Perfect.

[@JoelSimbrow]

couldn't agree more. they're making me nauseous right now.

[@TimHillmanssimplyacting]

twas a problematic show- I was seated behind the stage and a had a whole different experience. Without question, the sound behind the stage at Providence was beautiful. Home venue for me, and they fit in acoustically beautifully. They dropped an Althea in so I could go out for coffee and greeted me with LLR. Great Morning Dew- just another basic, solid night from this era.

[@rjkelley7888]

Home base for me as well and i was born in 82. Wish i coulda been behind the stage also but i was 2 months an 3 days old. Darkstar is coming to lupos soon btw!

[@rjkelley7888]

RJ Kelley To bad the camera wasnt behind the stage huh?!?!

[@rjkelley7888]

Wow and what an LLR you got served! Then a Dealio! This is my kinda set list right here!!!

[@richardm4857]

+Tim Hillman Many times I would go sit behind the stage for that exact reason, the sound. Catching that raw sound of Garcia's guitar coming out the back of his speaker stack on the stage. I loved it.

[@DennisCampbell777]

In 87 they had speaker stacks cranking in the hallway every 100 feet or so all the way around the entire venue. The Dead loved Providence.

[@russellpina8659]

i remeber looking thru my bino's at the tiger and keep asking my pals if they could tell what the emblem on jerry's guitar was

I was at this show pretty close to the stage when a chick tripping pretty hard pushed everyone out of her way, ripped all her clothes off and jumped on stage. The crew had no idea what to do with her but nobody seemed to know her.

I think you're thinking of the spring 81 Providence show. I think they opened with Aiko if I recall correctly.

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

Notice how since New Years at the Oakland Aud . Phil and Jerry have swapped sides on stage ....... ???? Just sayin... I freaked out .

[@blap1632]

+Geoffrey Russell yes it was April 1982 when they did that, we were all shocked, in a manner of speaking

[@geoffreyrussell1923]

+blap I only mention this because I am quite old ,,,,, and it took me a few shows to figure it out. ( I used to sit on " Jerry-side " wicth is opposite to prior to me hitting the Eest Coast tour that year.... ( nothing like when Jerry went from a " black T-shirt " to a Red one in Virginia ?

[@blap1632]

Geoffrey Russell- I hear ya man, me too, he moved to the right side, in 1980 he wore a red t shirt with JGB band on Providence, whoah!

[@buddyiodine]

I have to know: how come voodoonola's camera is always in the Phil Zone?

[@44elisdad]

I know I was there but every show from Buffalo in 81 to Saratoga Springs in 83 are just one big blur...

[@setboy1]

It's way harder to keep track of what he played. he changed guitars way more than Jerry.

[@Pun2404]

CURIOUS: When did Jerry ''officially'' move to that side of the stage? I just watched a 79 show of him on the left but I know that was mostly a mid to late 70s thing. Thanks in advance!
