How great it is that we can watch any Grateful Dead song performed at every concert that's on KZbin and see how it changes over the years. What fun!

[@EugeneAxe]

How can you not dance to this?

[@MrSinmore]

I was at this show 17 and fully baked Ill never forget it

[@aislingthebard]

It was such a joy to be here with my eldest daughter--34 years ago and I still remember every minute!!

[@lalaniathielen8917]

Right on... I think I have gratefully forgotten a few of my weirdest moments.. or have I

[@joshuataylor3975]

These were the beginnings of the last "happy years" for the band. Jerry was in good health, relatively speaking, everyone was getting along, the midi and the bust out of "Dark Star" and "Help Slip" still lay ahead. Sadly by '92 or so everything went back downhill... I feel nothing short of honored and lucky to have seen them 85 times during those years. I'll *always* love and miss you, Jerry.

[@fransbuijs808]

85. Wow.

[@shonelmer7494]

I only had the privilege of 14

[@tripfall224]

I still get goosebumps watching Brent...he amped up the energy...oh the old days!!! RIP Brent and Jerry!!!

[@jakewilliams8328]

Brent really was the best key man they ever had, great unique voice also

[@tito55]

Jerry, Bob, Phil, Mickey, Bill and Brent were at one of their peaks in 1987. The shows were really fun, and it was a great escape from the toils of everyday life. I miss the band playing live, this is the next best thing :) Aiko-Aiko all day!

[@terripin99]

Hey Now!!!- I cant even find the words to explain how much I miss these shows and these days AikoAiko- Jerry* *

[@dragmyre]

Jerry "magic fingers" Garcia. RIP Jerry.

[@ronaldwolf980]

Legendary Band with a strong Song ! 🔥🎸🔥

[@paulsantamaria6444]

I just want to dance everytime I hear this version, jerry and the boys look like their having a grand ole time.😁✌💣

[@tourhead]

1987 was a great year for the Grateful Dead! Thanks for posting this. I had a blast at this show!

[@mojojeinxs9960]

This song is summer time to me. Oh to be carefree dancing in the sunshine to the Dead.

[@Dancingfingers60]

I was 26 and was there! Hey now!

[@chriskeller3401]

Call shows rocked...

[@jimiamfirshur4778]

Always a fun song. They liked playing it,,,,,,and we liked hearing it. Number #1 in Turlock,CA,,,,,,,”They love us in Turlock, and we love them for that!”

[@poolmanio]

the worlds greatest party. friends,music,grate times

[@JubeProductions]

Brings me right back to that summer I first saw them. July 1987, JFK Stadium Philadelphia.

[@pennybertsch3353]

My first Dead show many years ago they played this song became one of my favorites.....

[@jessicapretty10]

FOR AS THE FAR AS THE EYES CAN SEE WHERE ELSE COULD YOU EVER SEE THIS MANY HAPPY PEOPLE GROOVING AND DANCING WITH THE DEAD

[@MySonny99]

Greatful dead aiko aiko is the best song ever Thank you.Presly

[@douglondoner7360]

The best GD song is the first one you recognize!! Saw them 3 times, never heard 1 that I knew from the radio and wasn't impressed. Then I learned about music..........AND THAT FAT MAN CAN PLAY!

[@paulamorgan2019]

I'm just learning about the music and kick myself in the ass that I didn't know more about it back in the day. But it's OK. My ol' man plays guitar and has taught me so much. It's fun to go back and watch this stuff again, knowing more about music and having him next to me to show me things I ask about. And that show was the first time I ever saw the bumper and window stickers saying "The Fat Man Rocks!" I loved that!

[@SunshineSuperstar]

Iko Iko*!!! Why spell it based on one single misspelled youtube video? 🤨

[@laurasurfer]

this was my 1st show! I had so many substances in me that all I could hear were echoes and warbles~~ hehe~~ stayed up for two days.......just 15 years old, too......I was so lucky to start going to shows as a teenager....... :)

[@lauradwyer4256]

Listening in 2022 thank you

[@stephenmahon6714]

I’m 62 now , 1 st show was Englishtown NJ 1977 - seen lots of Dead shows . Go occasionally with my kids . Brings back lots of great memories😢

[@skugors]

I was 28 and was not there, but at Laguna Seca, Monterey the same year. Greetings from Dalmatia-Croatia to all my DeadHeads of California. Peace and love :)

[@65Superhawk]

nothing left to do but smile smile smile.....RIP Jer/Brent

[@morriswil32]

Such a big sound! These guys are on fire!

[@zamzonez]

I saw them live playing this song and rhytmically unbelievable ,it was the only point , whereEVERYONE security guards ,concessions stand people Cops ,started dancing,,, ,I was not tripping at this show but it tripped out natch after seeing this coolbizarred phenomena,,,,miracles are real if you think they are,, and we all need one every friggin' day! it's happenin' agin',,,!!!! Yaaay!!!

[@randyhslonaker595]

Damn,, it is still there !! Hey now !!!

[@shamelessoutlaw]

saw a record number of shows that year.....gabe managed to pull two blank ticketmaster tickets out of the ticketmaster dispenser at his job.....pulled out the rusty ole typewriter and filled in the info ourselves.....great show....right in the backyard....brent was on a good one....rip gabe,jerry and brent

[@scottyz68]

Every day with Jerry was a day of fun, a day of love, and a day of some damn good rock and roll+! Miss you fat man, thanks for the memories...

[@LeifW67712]

Sweet show!!!!

[@artsmith1972]

this is one of those songs (for me) where Phil's base stands out nicely.. I think many times people (not many Deadheads) kind of leave Phil out of the picture- always concentrating on Jerry (of course) and Bob... The drums and Phil's base, are the foundation that the rest of the music is built upon. Also- out of all the keyboardist's they had, hands down Brent was the best. Best playing, best voice and added SO much to the band....

[@billbeliakoff5589]

I always try to concentrate on Phil and Bobby. But there are times when Jerry makes my jaw drop.

[@guyute60]

Damn Bobby and Phil look so young! But I guess we all did, still miss Jerry!

[@jeanhartely]

Thank you! Great song, great band. They make the world a better place. I love 'em!

[@inspirationmovemebrightly9627]

My friends and I always had a little game we played of whether from the first notes the song was going to be Aiko Aiko or Women are Smarter lol. But seriously it is just impossible to not be happy hearing/seeing this. Ooh and Jer’s looking happy, Bobby’s rocking some goofy Marylin Monroe shirt, my man Brent goin crazy, Phil’s dropping bombs as usual, Billy and Mickey are like the right and left arms of the same body, all the wonderful people in the crowd, damn it doesn’t get better than The Boys!!

[@krisdemars1355]

🌹🎵🌀🃏 ✨🤩

[@womenrsmarter420]

@laurasurfer awesome i was 13 at the time wouldnt jump on board till 92 at the coliseum on long island,ny...still on the furthur and phish train:)))

[@thebunnyudontknow]

This was my first show too - traveled from CT to get there - biggest smile on my face right now - nothin' left to do but that I suppose :) :) :)

[@skfierro]

The first song played at my very first show. I've seen 130 since then and now Furthur has taken me there again 5 times!

[@yabobonob]

So good!

[@alxvukovic]

Thank you Elizabeth!

[@08shortstop]

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... BEST CONCERT SONG EVER!

[@kevinmulcahy7991]

Thanks for posting! Sad seeing Jerry in all his glory to be reminded how much I miss him.

[@robinreece920]

Love their version of this song! GD fan for life!

[@morriswil32]

Such a big sound!

[@chriskeller3401]

Makes me real happy

[@alexjordanjams]

This band is amazing. I'm glad Furthur exists! I was too young to ever see GD live.

[@fmv6767]

I watch this once aday every day!!!!!!!!!! What better song to hear just before bailin' in to go surfing~~~~~

[@RedsoxFan20042007]

@portraitphenomenon "Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians.

[@nominaltimes]

This was the beginning of the beginning for me... This was an ad I saw in the LA TImes, (Dylan & the Dead) I didn't catch Dylan, but I sure caught hay for the uncut hair!! Happy B-day Jerry!!!

[@Jfladager]

looks like so much fun. Had a blast at Dead shows...

[@hinny1277]

Brent was a very Strong member of the Band, I think especially during 87 Tour. Just a couple of years before this I saw Brent and Bill do a little side tour calling it Go Ahead coming thru New Haven at Toads Place right next to Yale Campus. Where there any other Heads there and what do you remember. That was the 1st and only time every meeting Bill and Brent. In the hallway on way to mens room downstairs.

[@bkorner123]

Damn I miss Jerry. This is real music right here.

[@bubbapatterson8223]

I saw this show when I was 4 years old, this song has stuck with me since. Love it! Now if only I could find myself in the crowd, if you notice a blond toddler on the shoulders of a fat chick with long straight brown hair (possibly in pig tails) let me know!

[@nicelady8165]

Bubba Patterson i was 6. such energy!!! much love to ya!✌

[@jonathan13holland]

i love how this video opens they start playing and everyone started dancing if u never saw them thats just how it was every time i saw them for ten years

[@Axis360]

I got my 6 year old son singing and lovin this song! -Thanks

[@josephferguson4507]

Dr John too and the Meters & Neville Bros. and I am sure the radiators always a treat like gumbo funk

[@Phanti1000]

@MrGranitemountain I hear ya, I got a tear too, This was the first year I saw a show and was hooked. Love and miss you Jerry!

[@pinkdeadslave]

im 38 and have seen over 50 live dead shows and never saw this played live im lovin it Grateful Dead always encored and played some strange covers didnt matter who the orginal artist was they always put a better version together

[@chuckcarter4897]

Jerry....LIKE A BOSS!!!!!

[@pakkmann]

It's incredible how many good versions of this song there are. The Dead's version is superb... props to Dr. John as well.

[@joshuataylor3975]

*Awesome* ! '87 is a really underrepresented year... NO one could play "IKO" like the boys did...

[@smokynmonkee5054]

Hey now !

[@deweypug]

I remember being at an outdoor Dead show many years before this - when they began to play 'Woman are Smarter', all these girls flashed the band - Bob and Jer got laughing so hard, they had to start the song all over again...

[@VCT3333]

Please change the title to Iko Iko, like it's spelled usually so it's easier to find in searches. This is almost as good as the version recorded in Philly 1989.

[@fmv6767]

Hey Brent, Bust It !!!!!!!!!!!

[@fmv6767]

Yee Haw, My1st show. Drove down from Tahoe!~``````````

[@jamo2006]

[@wabbitt86]

@deslock1 you just had to be there...it was a psychic energy..

[@shelliwitham2463]

Brent you rock my world!!!!

[@bikerhippy]

I can almost feel the warmth of that day there from here!

[@nco88]

This just sends shivers up my spine. This is one of the coolest things ever.

[@stephenmathes]

this was a dylan/dead show...I was fortunate to catch this one...

[@halbie71]

I was there!!!

[@griffinmpable]

@NewMetroDesign wheres the crowd end? haha awesome. i always wish i couldve seen them back in the day. this was 3 years before i was even born, and about 17 years before i really got into them.

[@lickpicker1]

There is a hole in my world without the ability to go see Jerry

[@Wazabooz]

Bob Weir has sure aged well. Thanks for posting.

[@usmclown420]

Aiko Aiko at Sommerset August 3rd, 2003 was great!!!

[@fmv6767]

[@Gr4tefuldead]

[@summerb1972]

@Deadhead011 my first show, too...

[@TylerDCurtis]

God, I was only 1 when Jerry died, which means yes, I did not see any Dead Shows. But I catch every single RatDog/P&F/DSO show possible but I know it can't be the same. As for this Aiko Aiko, it was imensley intense. I love a good Aiko. God Bless you Jerry Garcia, PEACE AND LOVE Tyler

[@tutulove718]

THESE ARE MY DUDES THE DEAD LIVE ON [ WE PEOPLE WH ARE DARKER THEN BLUE ] GOOD MUSIC

[@HeadNtheClouds]

YEAAAHHHHH!!!

[@marysuewardell516]

Like bobby said. Oh yeah!

[@CatsandJP]

It is actually spelt IKO IKO…..(lower Nigerian) first recorded by Sugar Boy and the Cane Cutters 1953 under the title Joke A Mo..then the Dixiecups recorded it.

[@trevorbrown3688]

Man Brent fucking gets down in this song, he is personally my favorite keyboardist the Dead had

[@wabbitt86]

@deweypug was that in 78 with santana - a "summer strut concert series" with nugent foriegner and lynyrd skynyrd ??

[@dragmyre]

pass that joint.

[@mase5701]

What is it about the Grateful Dead that just makes me deep down genuinely happy and want to be nice to everybody?

[@liljonsp616]

I always used this song as time to grab a beer real quick before the next song started.

[@alexjordanjams]

@marizzle820 I'll be at the LA shows! Not going to miss them there.

[@PTMG]

I love how Jerry Garcia is always adjusting his glasses
