Grateful Dead - Death Don't Have No Mercy (Live at Shoreline Amphitheatre; MT View, CA 09/29/89)

"For the first time in more than 19 years, the Grateful Dead performed this terrific Death Don't Have No Mercy featuring a cool vocal arrangement, and one of Jerry's finest later-era guitar solos. It would only stick around for three more performances before being shelved for good, but it was an incredible run while it lasted." - David Lemieux

The slim chance you read this Dave.. Your work on Long Strange Trip was unbelievable.. your choices for that documentary are spot on. I truly hope there's a continuation of some sort. I always encourage new Heads to deep dive into that film and it's soundtrack. You my sir are a f'en legend.. THANK YOU.

Only 4 times - I’m forever grateful I got to see one of those performances, grateful for every moment I was there indeed. Good Ole Grateful Dead!!

[@henryescudero863]

I was at this one. We were all blown away when they broke this out. So grateful to have been able to see they boys from '87 to '95.

I was very close on the floor, the crowd went bananas.

Everything I have is because of the Grateful Dead! My property in Mendocino co. My wife of 25 years My friends My work for 33 years of my 64 years here. I’m so truly Fkn blessed to have been on this Bus ride of a lifetime. To say I’m grateful is such an understatement. 🌈🎶❤️🌹☮️

Anyone going to mention that Jerry was playing the Wolf? Talk about inspiration ⚡️ 🐺

I came to the comments to do just that! How cool is that? 😁😁😁

A haunting call back to the Live/Dead version that so many of us know every note of. Beautiful stuff.

[@xneapolisx]

*This* is the Grateful Dead in all their technicolor-digital beauty!

[@noturnleftunstoned72]

This was one of those moments that made all the struggles of touring worth it. My girlfriend and I just wept. So many tears, smiles and hugs. At Bill's Barn no less. There will never be another more balanced band. Not afraid of the shadow soul alongside the light. And then Hampton :)

[@laurawaight4705]

I was there for this. We lost our minds. It was transcendent.

Love the song. I read it at my father's funeral. This was back in 2006. Love you Dad.

[@peterfilardo9380]

The greatest solo in Jerry's career. Right up there in Hendrix territory

[@fesquemonkey9784]

As Jerry sang, "come to the shore, come to Jesus" and as we that have- have no fear of the grim reaper...🕎☦️🕎

[@fredgrimm4768]

Jerry s solo is epic 🚀🚀

This was my 1st Shoreline show! What an experience that was!

Thank you!!!!!

[@wolfsvision940]

Missed the break out here in shoreline but got both the Hampton & Philly versions up close & personal. Powerful later day Dead!!

[@bigd5080]

One if the best songs I’ve heard the Dead play 👏👏👏👏👏

I was fortunate to have attended this one! Great show with lots of technical difficulties

Excellent

[@joannehack7588]

This tune brings me to tears. Thank you. I truly needed this deep down in the pit of my forsaken soul

[@user-vs5om2bw5v]

My first dead show. I remember the crowd going wild with this- didn’t appreciate the significance of what I’d witnessed until later in life.

[@Jt05100]

Love watching this after listening to 100 times definitely jerrys best performance in his later years in my opinion

[@shortstuff7959]

I love this version!

[@skramdurosnob9794]

I wonder how many other souls have transcended this plane of existence at Shoreline. Been walking with the Dead like 30 years but had never heard this. Random Google suggestion. Jerry went full Wolf Fuzz and gave zero f's ! Brent didn't have long left and neither did Jerry. Powerful performances

[@mikehersh6192]

Holy shit😢

I love Brent’s shirt sleeves three garters on his arms to play so well so not to get in the way !

I miss the reverend. Rev. Gary Davis. He wrote this one. Probably showed Jorma how to get it right . Maybe Jerry too.😮

I only got one of these at the warlock shows 89

Yep! All true! Witnessed this unreal breakout with many other transfixed freaks- just imagine being stuck in line for some nasty food and missing this???

Wow 😞

Amen 🙏🏼

This is the version on The So Many Roads box set

[@larshamilton40]

howlin' Wolf..

[@Slabbers]

That solo would have been so much less without such instantly supportive and sympathetic backing from the band. A rigid arrangement could not have done it. Awesome all round!

[@joefelice5062]

Weir is a genius… his accents provide support and counterpoint at the same time. Jerry and the rest were all top musicians when the jug band/Warlocks started out, and Weir somehow invented his own unique rhythm style to keep up - that’s when they elevated beyond what everyone else was doing. Jerry summed it perfectly in an interview you can hear in the Weir documentary “The Other One”. Of course Weir openly describes how he was inspired by jazz pianists, and thank God for that. Good Ole Grateful Dead!!

[@bradroberson6359]

Epic!

The WOLF!!

[@adamtaylor9520]

So much distortion in Jerry's amp on this one. It adds so much tension to the song. It's perfect.

[@z1205]

Brent Mydland ⚡️ ⚡️

[@WastrelWay]

A recent "Greatest Guitar Players" article omitted Jerry Garcia. And also left out Roy Buchanan and basically tried to omit great guitar players in favor of the ones they liked. Let's try to be more objective, folks. This is Jerry playing with all his power and emotion, and he can hardly be equaled.

[@Kmc9]

It's OK, we know he's the greatest. It still baffles me that there are people that consider this type of music to be "noise". It honestly makes me feel bad for them. Imagine not being able to be taken on a journey by someone playing with raw emotion and intuition. Or the people that say you gotta be high on something to get it. What a sad life that must be.

[@charlie.something]

Anybody know why he only played DDHNM on that guitar?

[@droid9959]

Camera man sucks missed the cuts and que again, know your subject, Love this version 🙂👍

[@z1205]

It bugs me he misses the part where Brent sings “WA HOO!” After his verse

[@gratefuljr]

I believe Jerry is 46 at this show

[@litedawg]

He had just turned 47 in August .

[@owennandkylie2379]

Something that isn’t taken from a show already posted on the channel would be cool.

[@mikeneidlinger8857]

Is this track on a studio album? I've only heard their vault cuts on KZbin. My neighbor who was a tapehead told me the whole thing about The Dead was that they were so good live.

[@psychobilly09]

It’s on the live/dead album

[@mikeneidlinger8857]

I was just wondering if it was their song. They do a lot of covers. I've been listening to a lot of full concerts on KZbin.

[@geraldschrader8511]

@@mikeneidlinger8857 Reverend Gary Davis wrote it. A lot of people have covered it.

Where's Jerry's regular guitar? Oddd to see him playing something different

[@timothyfoley3000]

Still not a incredible as the Hampton version... I was at the Shoreline for this and it was great...

[@litedawg]

I was at both. It’s a tough decision.

[@42itous]

That Jerry solo didn't have no mercy either

[@michaelegan5835]

Does anyone know why Jerry is playing the sweet curly maple guitar, rather than the Tiger? In for repairs? Powerful stuff for sure!

[@litedawg]

Tiger was getting some work done to it iirc.

[@MidExpanse]

The guitar Jerry was playing is called “Wolf”… this is one he played before “Tiger” and “Bertha” were even made.

[@Collective_Unconscious_]

i knew jerry would butcher it... and he did... its a pale shadow of Rev. Gary Davis's classic jam... “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” ― Carl Jung

[@jamespaulson6761]

You sound fun

[@ThomasNewman-ov8nm]

The dead don't have no grammer skills either.
