I was trucker in 1980 and drove for almost 36 hours straight so I could get home in time for a Dead concert. My roommate had bought an entire row of tickets and I got to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta just in time for the show. My friends knew how tired I was and gave me 3 little pictures of Snoopy the dog to pep me up. Still, I promptly fell asleep and didn't wake up until the encore. But man!...The dreams I had! The long version of Sugar Magnolia was great too. Thanks Jerry and crew for the great music...and dreams.

I could be wrong about the final song but a couple of things I am certain of: The tickets were purchased in advance (I saw them a week before the show) and my group were seated in an entire row in the center section when I arrived (I think it was 15 seats).

[@williamadamsmusic3025]

It's amazing that a band (with THAT lineup) has been gone for so long now, but we keep listening and commenting in such numbers... I miss The Grateful Dead so much it's a permanent ache inside my heart and soul... God, to stand at the front of that stage and see Jerry looking right at me with a huge smile and a look of such bliss on his face. I know it wasn't ALWAYS like that for him (or for anyone)... I know he suffered terribly for a very long time, and in that, I'm glad he's free... He certainly brought so much joy and happiness to so many for so long, and I know that it took EVERYONE in that band, to BE that band... It wasn't JUST Jerry... In fact, it wasn't REALLY Jerry's band... Bob became the musical director of The Grateful Dead in the mid 1970's... But in many ways they were a band that belonged to everyone!!! No matter what anyone believes it doesn't change how much I miss them! Someone early on said something to the effect of, it's worth being old now just to have been young then. I sort of agree with that! I do feel blessed to see all the amazing bands and artists I've seen over the years, but it's difficult for me that the majority of those bands and artists are gone now... Or WELL past their peak. It occurred to me the other day that we could easily lose the great Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr in this decade... It made me realize that I really don't want to live in a world where there are no remaining members of The Beatles alive anymore. How foreign and empty that world will be! I'm ten years younger than Sir Paul, but part of me truly hopes I'm taken BEFORE him! Sorry to sound so bleak... It's been a hard year... Hell, it's been a hard life! Thank God for these recordings! They allow my heroes to still sort of inhabit a world they're not really in anymore! As always, ✌🏼 & ❤️ 2the 🌎🌍!

Oh, yeah. I try to find vids and boots where Bobby is up in the mix. I love the whole crew but as a rythym guitarist I am really drawn to Bobby;s very special presence.

[@stevehildner5630]

@@newmania4242 I was just thinking that. In terms of rhythm guitarists, Bobby was and is, an extremely outstanding, and very underrated one. I mean, look who he had to play next to. That being said, seriously, from a musicians viewpoint, he did all the things an efficient rhythm player is supposed to do. He used inversions, thumb chords, triads and knew all the obscure chord voicings necessary to keep him from "occupying" the same range as Jerry and Brent. I swear to God, I can't remember seeing him play below the fourth fret, using open "cowboy" chords, and I have actually heard tapes of him swinging bends off Jerry. Plus he had a lot of charisma, and presence. Jerry made himself visible through his playing, but didn't really give a shit about actually being a "frontman", maybe the leader, yes. Too bad he was almost always too low in the mix. We used to make an effort to sit on Bobby's "side" so we were in the sweet spot. Dead center was all Jerry.

[@jzant3410]

Seeing Jerry enjoying this gig so much is truly heart warming. You want to think he was digging these moments and not just haunted by his probs.

[@katharinerauch7361]

The prob was Jerry was never that haunted by his probs! I often wonder how modern meds-- esp. for diabetes could've helped him. Not to mention a better diet. Thing is-- Jerry never worried about stuff for long! (Look up the car crash he survived-- we could have lost him then!) And, you know-- here he is-- for the ages!

I saw the Dead several times in the 80s in Philly. My brother was at this show. Also on a side note, Jerry would have loved Billy Strings.

[@mtbrehm]

I was there, after hitchhiking up from DC and getting a face-value ticket about 10 minutes after arriving ... one of the best shows I ever saw.

[@mattyg3]

I was at this concert! It was phenomenal! The musicality of Bobby, Jerry, Phil, Brent, Bill, and Mickey carries on and on. A group of us crazy kids got there early to be at the front of the stage for Bruce Hornsby and the Range and then the first set. For the second set we walked around the field and found seats far away in the stands. It was the last event for JFK Stadium. Practice music! Practice peace!

Heard the back story on "Box of Rain". Sure gives me a huge amount of respect towards Phil experience. 😎🌻🌻🌻🌻.

[@TheClownfight]

Man, the solo in Ramble on Rose at about the 29 minute mark is just perfection. It's more than wonderfully melodic, it feels like a journey. As a life long guitarist, I put Jerry at the top. Above Hendrix, Clapton... all of them. Not just technical skill, but his sense of melody infuses everything. Nothing, and no one, can compare. While he is certainly well regarded amongst guitarists, I don't feel he is given his proper due. Rest in music, fat man. I sure you miss you.

[@afmartin2734]

Yep. It's the ability to capture melody so well and fluidly, where it's memorable. It's not just with the lead guitar parts, but all over the songs, obviously, as well. Most people have no idea what a gift that is. Plenty of guitar players can develop chops, rehearse a lot, play fast solos, some of them certainly great in their own right, but melody and feel is where it's at. Even when Garcia makes an error, it sounds great. Sign of a genius.

[@xxcelr8rs]

Hell in a Bucket I like his parts on that. Unusual but just right.

[@markh3055]

I agree. He was a musical genius. The guitar is like a natural appendage in his hands. It's like how us normal mortals just naturally open a door. To someone like myself without guitar skills it's like he just thinks the notes and his hands magically follow without missing a string or fret. Whenever he comes to mind I'm saddened that he left us so early, but glad that in a relatively short life he left such an amazing musical legacy.

Jerry aged like 20 years in just a couple years 💔 So deeply and profoundly wish he could have gotten well...he should still be here! 😢

[@waltercannon4700]

Mike Lenowsky I agree 100%. I’ve said the same thing for years. Brent’s death was the first celebrity death that really hit me. Brent was vastly under appreciated and underrated. The light went out in Jerry when Brent passed. The light flickered, occasionally. After all these years it’s really clear just how important Brent was to the GD.

[@newmania4242]
