Grateful Dead 6-21-89 Shoreline Amphitheatre Mountain View CA

[@steveanderson3229]

Back in 1989, this was one of the first concerts that livestreamed on TV, in real time, Pay Per View style, and my Mom recorded it on VCR for me. She's not a Deadhead, but she knew I liked them, so she did that just for me. It lived on top of my VCR for over a decade, and I played it til the tape wore out... I'm working hard in my workshop right now, with random Dead Shows playing on KZbin, just letting the suggested 'next' videos play to keep me company while I work, so when I heard the blown amp intro, I immediately recognized it and got a tear in my eye for the reminder that my Mom has always looked out for me. She is currently living in my guest room, and it gets tense sometimes, grown man, Mom living with me, trying to call shots in my house sort of thing... SO hearing this particular show again kinda takes the edge off of that Family tension. It's my turn to look out for her~

[@giosal8822]

My mom became grumpy only in her late years, but I never discount the incredibly special things she did for me ... such as your mom taping a TV concert on VCR for you. Mom's are the best, I'm glad you found this reminder to take the edge off of the current day Steve.

[@steveanderson3229]

@@giosal8822 and it's the gift that keeps on giving. I just came downstairs from trying to help her setup Windows Office on her new laptop (that she bought in April), and she gets extremely agitated when you ask her any question about where she got the number that she's written on a post it note, why don't you copy and paste instead of trying to write it down... Oh, THAT number is just a security code, to verify your e-mail, and it expired 24 hours after it was sent... in April... We need a product key... What's your Microsoft Password? etc... Extremely frustrating to try to help her set it up, because she basically wants you to do all of that and just make it work for her. No patience for the teamwork, when it comes to asking her for passwords, etc... So then I come down here and open my own e-mail, and see your reply, which leads me back to this video and the memory is fresh again... Thank you for that.

I spent three years taking care of my mom, watching her lights and laughs fade with dementia. Her house, her rules- or so she thought. Court involvement with legal conservatorship. 3 siblings, one I had to have thrown out on a restraining order. No help from the other two, in fact, our father, who was by this time nothing more to me than my mother's ex-drunk ex-husband, paid my sister's attorney to oppose me in settling the estate cuz he was afraid I'd come after him for a $100,000. divorce settlement he never paid. A big mess. I have no family anymore - my choice- only the Grateful Dead and the wonderful man who introduced me to their magic got me through. Sorry to be such a downer, but if you ask me, yes, absolutely I'd do it all over again. Your mother is your one and only, and if you're smart, you'll turn her on to the Dead while she can still appreciate music and magic. My mom's last intelligible utterance was "thank you for a real good time!" Crying now, I'll miss her forever. Do right by your mom; we'll all meet Jerry, Brent, Pigpen, Keith, Vince, Robert and John Perry in the great beyond for the best concert ever!

Dude, that summer I moved out to San Francisco from Long Island, to join all of my friends who dropped out of college and moved out west 6 months prior, I arrived damn near broke on June 17th, and being a good little hustler, me and my boy, went to these shows,where we sold SAMWICHES~TSHIRTS~ doeses~ mushrooms. These shows were being broadcasted on pay pre~vie, but that Summer Solstice Show, was by far the show everyone wanted a ticket to. As I stated I was far to broke to afford the scalpers, and was just happy to be in California, tripping out, hustling up a few bucks, buying low, and selling just a little bit higher. As I thought of my boys back in Long Island, who for sure, payed the 29.95 to watch them on pay pre view, and the band began to play, I got miracled. This angel stepped to me, and said “you have the most wonderful energy I’ve felt today, here” and she handed me a ticket. My friends mouths fell open and asked for the remaining ICE COLD WHIPPETS,1 DOLLAR! As I entered the show, I caught glimpse of the camera man floating through the crowd, I became immortal. Indeed my friends back home were sitting around the tv, tripping on Acid, the VHS recording, and you can hear me off camera saying “camera’s? I love cameras” I jumped in front of the camera saying, “ Hey Kenny and Lou, it’s me Jim, I just got miracled There is nothing like a Hateful Dread show” if you watch the whole show, you’ll see me. I was 19, high on acid, and a beautiful a girl gave me free ticket, to my first west coast Dead show, because I, apparently had wonderful energy. the worm had turned for me, and I never looked back... I miss Grateful Deadshows. I miss tripping out, I miss my wisely misspent youth. I’m now 51, and last month was informed, that I had stage 4 cancer, and had between 6 months to two years left before the cancer will take my life, depending upon how my body reacts to theChemo therapy. Well the Chemo is not reacting well to my body. So it seems, I’ll be moving on sooner rather later. But for 10 years or so, I was...a golden god, or on drugs, either one is cool with me. And I will always be That Guy,from the Summer Solstice Show, back in 89, who got Miracled. And that’s not to shabby. Hello baby I’m gone good by, half a cup of rock and rye, farewell to you old southern skies, I’m on my way.

[@cancan397]

What I love about this band is that they didn’t care if people recorded the concert. They shared because they have magic. They always will. I’ve seen it happen in my eyes. I lived listening to them with my friends on hot summer nights and at the lake. Watching the fires or burn its wispy smoke with sparkling smoke. What a beautiful sight to see in a countryside. Thank you universe!!!❤🎉❤

[@VixCrush]

I got bumped off a flight and so they gave me a free ticket anywhere in the US. I figured maybe a good place to go with that ticket was to California to catch a Shoreline show. Made perfect sense to me at the time. Still does.

Brent Mydland is the most incredible thing to happen to the Grateful Dead since Jerry himself. It's amazing how much beauty he brings to the stage both, with hi keys and his voice. Incredible musician and in my opinion, the best keyboardist the Dead ever had. Amazing show!

[@StarDarkAshes]

Definitely my favorite keyboardist. He and Jerry were almost always on the same page

[@Twotontessie]

This show a great example of Brent's brilliant piano touches. That big fat synth piano sound...his trademark from the late period of his stint. Those little repeating riffs . . . Bing bing bing ... he was the master at that stuff. 2:06:32. And he's out there during "Space" on this show . . .

[@aleji0]

Late 70's may be the best period to most (I historically have tended to agree, though I haven't deep dove any other time period as thoroughly), but Brent was the best of the three official members in that slot in the lineup. These '89 shows are blowing my fucking mind and making me reconsider that opinion. They just sound so great in 1989. This is my third in a row with the others being March 31 and July 7). Sticking around this area for a while I think.

[@fredhurst2528]

@@aleji0 I mostly like the 80's sound because the Jerry Bobby Brent vocal combo and the frequent hard-rockin sound.

[@juniorthe3rdjuniorthe3rd]

Yeah. I know what you mean. Dude was some Big Tall Happy☀️. I guess after 59 years like any family percentage wise we’ve lost many that brought nothing but goodness to the stage or the scene. He helped me in my darkest hour. It’s what i wrote to him in that booklet we could sign to send to the family that they had at the Tuscany Shakedown at the Sphere. He suffered from depression caused by multiple spinal fusion surgeries like myself. Each surgery takes over a year to somewhat recover from. You never truly recover from but you learn to live with it. It robbed 9 years of my life. I didn’t think I would walk again nor did my doctors. This year I danced for 3 nights so miracles do happen. All kinds. To shows. To life. I wrote a letter to his family in that book to them we could sign at the Tuscany. Last time I saw him was GD50 then I was down. Missed shows since until this year. He inspired me with his Way Better Back program. And no meds won’t hide that kind of pain. I’ve tried. Trust me. Prescription or any other kind. Your sciatic nerve feels like it’s being pinched in a vice 24/7. Can make you lose your marbles. Even if they are King Solomons Marbles. 😂. I can laugh now again but he truly helped me. As did the music. Always. 4ever Grateful

[@tonydanis1480]

I was spoiled. I worked for years at Sun Microsystems, the closest set of offices to Shoreline. I would literally walk five minutes from my lab to my seat, leaving my car in my company's lot. I saw so many Shoreline shows I started to take them for granted, simply because they were not "rare" and there was no epic struggle , road trip, expenses, police hassles,etc., to up the ante. Now, thanks to Voodoonola et al., I have a massive new appreciation and a chance to re-appraise these great events. Need proof there is a God? Frustrated '70's Deadhead in Florida, only able to see the occasional show, suddenly gets job 3,500 miles away, 1/4 mile from a venue where they play numerous shows a year! That's no coincidence!

It was never more than an hour away from home and my all time favorite place to see them. I went to about 20 shows from 85 till 92 and close to half of them were at the Shoreline. I might have been at this one, the set list if familiar.

[@leeshapiro9015]

I worked on this show. It was broadcast live on pay-per-view TV (Request TV) and I was working at the satellite receive station in New Jersey as Technical Director. We only had about a four hour window for the event which is why I think Bobby got so pissed off in the beginning because of all the technical delays. And which is why the last couple of minutes got cut off (why you don't see any live video footage at the very end of this video) We had to go into out next feature at the top of the hour (some lame ass movie). It took all my willpower to cut off Brokedown Palace before they were done. I was the only Deadhead working on this crew and remember arguing with the producer about cutting them off in the middle of a song, but I had to do it. It was SO close too, they only had about another minute left in the song, but the "folks at home" never got to see it. Anyway, this video brought back lots of great memories, it was the Summer Solstice show, I had it cranked up in the control room (much to my coworkers dismay) and I even wore my tie-dye shirt to work that evening for the event. I took a lot of flack for that from my non-deadhead coworkers.

[@leeshapiro9015]

Oh and some people mentioned something about the FBI videotaping (not filming) people in the parking lot. I don't know about the FBI, but I know the Pay Per View cameras were everywhere, because we had to show SOMETHING before the show started and in between sets. So basically we had a couple of guys on handheld cameras (with very long cords) roaming around the fairgrounds showing all the folks walking around. It was nice to see all the deadheads, but after about 20 minutes it got kind of boring, but there was nothing else to show. It was a very long break!

I'm(Wes) on my wifes phone, mine broke, and inherited this one 😂that's why I sound so like I am. Awesome Find today.❤ 🙏🇨🇦👊👨‍🌾💖🕺

The night that started the new direction in my life! I lived in Indiana at the time and was a sophomore in highschool. One of my dads old friends got us tickets to the Deer Creek show on 7-15 and I had no idea what I was about to get into. He invited us over to watch this show on cable pay per view before the DC show and wow was I excited after seeing this. I still had no idea of what the whole show experience was going to be like but was ready to go. Man I wish I could go back to those times...I miss it so much.

[@wangson]

Great, great show!! What a setlist - especially for 1989!! Man...that crowd lucked out that day/night!

[@wayneseely4245]

You can clearly see the spark in Jerry that makes him so loved

[@tyrayoungabernathyladwigto2224]

What a Great Show! There's a creeping spirit shining through the music! Thank You for posting this concert! Peace to you and yours!

[@gr8fuljer]

I did the pay-per-view on this show! dragged my stereo down to the living room and hooked it up to the cable--bobby's amp-kick.....the air being let out of the balloon when they go from scarlet into bucket...my virgin roomate with his mouth agape and a slack cigarette in his mouth during dew....thanks so much for posting!

[@TheHiveTheBuzzTheSwarm]

Thank you Voodoo.really great show...loved it.....and new orleans such a great place....love it....jerry is so touching....feel the love....best wishes to all

I love the crowd scenes. Miss that shit so much.

Pretty good camera footage here gives more a little of the band's perspective.

[@shortyluvs420]

Meee tooo!!! NFA MISS JERRY SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

[@denniscampbell6185]

I remember this was a pay-per-view event here in Boston. Thank God for good speakers.

[@MsSmitty9]

Dennis Campbell I got that pay per view. I still have it on a VHS tape. The version of Box of Rain Still makes me cry. There’s true meaning to that song. Every one knows what it’s about. Any one who’s lost a parent knows. It hits home here. God Bless Phil Lesh.

[@hamunderhill2062]

my first live dead experience on pay-per-view "Bobby play black throated wind we all need one" I loved that he didnt play it till 90 & onward

[@lindaburrows9863]

Never again will there ever be such a band thank you boys

Man! Love his Playin!! ♥️🎶🎶

[@thatJimwiththenes]

My brother handed down a lot of dead tapes to me. I recall listening to this show on my way to school. I'm defiantly going to see the reunion. I wish I could have seen jerry, but I was born too late...

[@Chasstful]

I feel for those who never saw Jerry, after he passed, a lot of people lost interest in seeing more dead related shows. Jerry was the reason dead shows were like religious experiences. Just being in his presence was indescribable.

[@makokan2000]

whaddya tink ..let that eal come down ..yust like our corrupt gov

[@hoserd3952]

I never saw Pig Pen, but his music is a part of me anyway.

[@newmania4242]

Charles Black Sorry but the music is amazing. listen to Jerry's interviews. He was part of it, but not IT. The dead still live. Listen to Bobby and RatDog and Phil and friends and DSO. The music was bigger than Jerry and he was the first to say it. I TOTALLY love Jer but it is alive!!!

Bobby and his famous shorts

[@johnrucynski2508]

It wouldn't be the 80s without Bobby's shorts, Phil's wristbands, and Bobby's equipment problems LOL. Oh, and some great great music. :)

[@tobithomas3538]

Yes the Bobby shorts I was at this show, after the Dead played we got woken up because because they filmed the Touch of Gray video that weekend.

[@charlesgrewe3249]

What a great memory, my friend Matt and I hitchhiked out to this show from Colorado...miss you Jerry.

[@tobeyhuebert494]

nobody does it like them. "The music never stops" how true

[@michaelkearns8499]

Phil at 2:10!!! Oh that's great. Doesn't even have to say anything because we all know. Safe to say things were not "just exactly perfect" to start the show. They certainly got it together quickly though

[@Twotontessie]

DId I mention the Deal? Blow you away. Love Garcia on the black and white Strat in Space. Then Brent in Space with some beautiful piano. Starts around 2:32:48. Brent was fricking unreal.

I was there and it was glorious. That entire three days was magical. I was an usher in the early days of Shoreline and rarely, if ever, missed a Dead show there. I made sure I took the days off for those shows though.

[@carolbell8008]

Pay-per-view summer solstice show. I had my buddies over & had it hooked up to my stereo to ring in summer. Good times, Good times.

Bobby at 5:44!!!! Karate kick the popping preamps!! frickin' hilarious. Jerry commenting on the mic....?? super rare in this era to hear a word outta him....it WAS hot that day.

[@metzlhead]

I have watched many times, but when Bobby kicks his amp it still makes me laugh so hard! :)

During which song does he kick his amp? I must have missed it.

My now fiancé brought me cd's from this show on our first date, a little more than 3 years ago (he drove to this show with his brother from So Cal)...perfect gift from him!! WE hadn't seen each other since High School Graduation. We were meant to be together! I was impressed and love him more every day! xoxoxo

[@mythiical6109]

The Grateful Dead are troubadours,who, subtly educate anyone with a curious and generous heart,in a vast array of American music. Space capsule worthy. Timeless. Rock, Folk, Bluegrass, R&B, Jazz and the archetypal yet ambiguous lyricism began by Dylan as a musical form, but influenced by writers from Dos Passos and Hem and London to Ginsberg to Shakespeare. Safe to say that a typical Dead fan has interests beyond self determination. Great show, this, enjoy.

[@drugrodsky1470]

their gonna be watching this shit a thousand years from now………..

[@chriskeller3401]

I miss going to shows so so much.Only fans and people into the Dead understand the whole scene experience , whatever it was such a personal pleasure for those that where able go,party,dance was like nothing else on this planet. Smile smile smile Chris K, CT

[@markstarr9184]

Spent some of the best times of my life right there...

[@matthewpowell760]

I sure do Love The Grateful Dead and all of the unique heads that this Beautiful Earth has on it! Shoreline Rules even though I only made to east coast tours as well as Alpine Valley to see Jerry and Bobby. Life was truly a blessing in those days. I Miss Brent and Jerry and I know they served God well while here with us. The rest of the fellas are still doing God's work and doing a good Job of it! Andy P.

[@KeenCutz]

Missed this show but I saw 20 + @ the Dump subsequent , most shows began at 7 pm and this was the longest day of the year. You can almost hear a pin drop when Jerry begins Morning Dew , which brings me to tears every time I listen to it
