Drive that bus 🚌 bro, we're all with you ❤😂🎉😢!!!

[@mattcouch2965]

Watching jerry play is like seeing a friend that you never met. Familiar but so distant

[@taylah1218]

👏💓😭

[@camerontrainer7614]

Very well said. I was born in 98 so me and Jerry never roamed this Earth at the same time but I still feel a connection

[@NiecieSavo]

Some of us were lucky enough to see him in person 😊

[@dangallagher0072]

​@@camerontrainer7614I was born in 2002 so I feel you. At least we were born in an era where we have access to amazing footage and audio!

[@Livsangel]

​@@camerontrainer7614That's the great thing about great music. It can unite across generations, nations, skincolour and such things.

[@LucyLennon909]

Just one of Bobby's many masterpieces🎶👍

[@Icculu5]

For sure. Black throated wind, El Paso and weather report are up there for me as well.

All I want to say is… Thank you. Music heals my soul everyday

[@bigbluebraintrust3194]

My favorite Cassidy ...this was a good couple nights back then ..

[@calburge4338]

Can you imagine Jerry n Bob around a campfire singing songs??

[@matttravis3263]

My God.... what a beautiful time in the world of music!!!! God bless Jerry and Brent.jammin in heaven with all my killer b brothers

[@drogba4evah672]

I love how the jam gets so discordant so quickly, and then boom, back in with the beautifully melodic "flight of the seabirds...".

[@edmcnally4337]

At 5:35? Bob has to pull Jerry back. He’s far far away 🙂

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

Man, Jerry from 4:45 on.... he looked like he was driving that Cadillac! He was way in there, man.

[@Nevilsghost]

I have a cousin that looked exactly like Bob ...in college his hair was exactly like bobs ..he sold weed out of a backpack in the mid 1980s...he had some incredible stuff back then ...😂

[@danno9608]

LOVE Brent's harmonies on this tune! For years after first hearing this on Reckoning, I thought "Wow, Donna sure has settled down and is making the band better" I was wrong of course.

[@GregCherry]

Love the part at 5:32 where Bobby shouts at Jerry to get out of the jam and back to the chorus. Shows how much he grew into his leadership role, and even moreso into the next decade as Jerry declined.

[@paulboni]

Yes. But I think Jerry already knew it.

[@jenvenzke9985]

But I think Jerry looked at him first anticipating it, tbh

[@markkindermannart4028]

It looked more like he was roping Phil back in

[@LucyLennon909]

Jerry thrived on "never playing a song the same way twice" ... brilliant ❗

[@smartalek180]

SO grateful for all the acoustic sets we have preserved. Wish we we had even more of them...

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

classic & timeless=] Let the words be yours- I am done with mine, one of the greatest hooks in modern lyrics.

[@davidcurtis7547]

blow the horn and tap the tamborine , . You and me . Cassady , lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac

[@matthewlutes775]

5:35 mark, i love Bobby's subtle indication to Jerry to let loose the seabirds!

[@mattcouch2965]

Lol. Oh so subtle

[@offtherecord86]

My first introduction and first show got on the bus and never looked back

[@f.w.309]

for every father and his daughter, be blessed by this song of deep connections lost and found!

[@MrAfrodrew]

That is one fantastic version of a fantastic tune.

[@patriciamays8244]

Yes definitely one of the best

[@pennybertsch3353]

Gotta love Neal Cassidy.........

[@TheGunnCat]

There was a nod to Neal Cassady in this, but it's really about Cassidy Law.

[@Karmakatt6]

And anyone named Cassidy 😉

[@martyhopkirk6826]

@@Karmakatt6 Or Cassady

[@davidcurtis7547]

The dudes loved Neal . He was the dude . Died the way he lived . on the road

[@billydudjoc6444]

The song was named after Cassidy Law, who was born in 1970 and was the daughter of Grateful Dead crew member Rex Jackson and Weir's former housemate Eileen Law

[@joychapman8248]

I feel very fortunate to have been at shows during this timeframe on the West Coast. Every show was phenomenal.

[@mikegalvin9801]

Moved to San Francisco in 1977, before that I saw them in Boulder in 1972. I had Workingingmans Dead and American Beauty in my record collection but it wasn't till I saw them live that I became an all in Deadhead. Their New Years concerts in Oakland in the 80s were a great way to ring in the year. Once staying at a friend's in Mill Valley we went out on a rainy night and there was Bobby jamming with some band. Great times. Went back to my old home Chicago for that last Soldier Field show all the years later

[@darylforster933]

I was there

[@thomassnell5384]

Anyone out there old enough to say they saw this broadcast on MTV?? I did. I also own 2 copies of Reckoning, the original released album.

[@downtoearthexploring589]

Hey!

[@CoasterMan13Official]

And to think, this is the closest thing we have to an MTV Unplugged performance from this band.

[@michaelmohrle1773]

Think they did one in 1994.

[@Karmakatt6]

Is it just me or does that Bob Weir fella seem to be working out?? Understatement of the Century... Go BOBBY GO!!!

I just have to say: Jerry Garcia wasn't even 40 years old yet. The man aged like all get-out. It's sad. He died prematurely

[@jcarry5214]

I'm exactly the same age now as he was here, I'm that gray. No heroin involved.

[@JeremyIlenin-mb3mk]

Phil... the train is never late Maybe you missed it ?

The way jerry pulls off notes is awesome. To my ears there's this perfect kind of hesitation it's nano but to me it makes it Jerry...just unperfect enough to be perfect. I feel like his tone is coming off the note vs at striking

No he’d been in the band for a year and a half by then.

Should name an ice cream after this. Maybe vanilla diversity.

Lmao they made a Cherry Garcia

[@harmoniabalanza]

I never understand why people (fans) who are so devoted to the music of a band drown their playing out with their hollers and screams.

[@garrettsteven1963]

They weren’t there to give you a clean recorded version 40 years later, they were there to watch the Dead light the place on fire. Cry me a river
