I was born the morning of this show...

[@jedlevine3359]

Did you make it to the show?

[@scottbing8201]

Yea, Jerry forgets a lot of the lyrics but that touch of grey has something special going on, especially at the end. Great energy. the crowd is roaring! He looks so happy. He survived! 26 years later.and I'm still balling over Jerry dying. Love out....

[@spearzoid]

Best show of the run! At least it was for me! Thanks, again!

[@george.s.8491]

Wow! This is really cool! Thank you for posting! Love 87! TONS OF STEEL! Awesome!

[@edwardevans6659]

This was a special show, not just for the band, for the deadheads also. It was the 1st show of the east coast tour after Jerry's coma. Nobody knew if it would be the same,could Jerry still play? So the touch of gray opener was perfect, we will survive!!

[@craigchance1425]

When Franklin's Tower finally came to Hampton we all cried

[@gunstonmidas]

My first show!

[@scottcrowley77]

Wish u had the whole spring tour of that year. The Hartford shows were great. Jerry looked and sounded so good. Thank you for all your hard work to all involved !!!!!!!!

[@leenew9175]

Thank you! It's almost like being back there again.

[@janeseamore1370]

hat althea is excellent, that big river is absolutely sic in the instrumentals. great party energy. grab a friend and dance big river

[@keithfr7095]

What a couple days for me. This was the first time I saw the Dead after listening to shows on tape for a couple years. These were my make up shows after missing RFK in July 86. Not only is this great video, but better sound than the tapes I've had. (Sounds like a soundboard/audience matrix?, or a nice clear audience ) THANKS!!! Great vids of my first shows! My friends and I were on the floor in front of Brent at this show all nite. Great memories!!! We were hoping for Jerry to be back in health, and got him!!! Good weather outside,too!

[@reddykillowatt1779]

caught this whole run Jerrys return to east coast after coma fun times

[@pellefyrby]

Reddy Killowatt did you see the whole run?

[@reddykillowatt1779]

I sure did think i saw all Hampton shows right up to 1992

[@pellefyrby]

I really like the second half of the eighties, they were really at it...

[@robinwembley2578]

How many Hampton shows this run? Three on here so far.

[@adamziccardi9138]

I miss the tour book from GDTS...

[@jeffersonkind8447]

Awesome....thanks!

[@absolutelypositively]

Getting me now, as it got me then. Something about this version of Big River just grins me from ear to ear. There was nothing like Hampton every spring for all those years. Beautiful way to kiss goodbye to winter. Life has been good. Go Jerry, killin it at the end of this River. GRATEFUL DEAD. There was only one ☝️!!

[@pellefyrby]

Jerry smiles! Thanks for the upload

[@longhaircafe]

I knew they were on roll when they added the date later in the tour. Hampton gives its itself to be known as the Mothership! Brent pulls it into perpetual motion. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@wharfrat500]

I was there! His first east coast tour after the diabetic coma. The crowd was deafening and amazing at the same time!

[@tumblintim]

I remember the explosion of emotion

[@jonkiparsky7369]

"It seems like all this life was just a dream"... I started listening to the Dead around 1987, and I never really noticed the nursery-rhyme aspect of that line before... I love the way Hunter's lyrics unfold across decades.

[@Heathcsw]

Un frickin believable. God rest his soul.

[@davidweinstein2759]

I believe him. I think he’ll make ‘em shine.

[@PFloydWall]

this show is so lit

[@billmitchell4749]

I was there, saw all 3 shows!

[@jedlevine3359]

Jerry (in top form here both vocally and on the guitar), leads the band in the transition from a rip-roaring Other One to a stunningly sweet and unhurried Stella Blue, paralleling the ups and down of life. This is Grateful Dead at its best.

[@jasonengberg1583]

I was there!!! Happy anniversary show day!!!

[@Kristin372]

We kissed the floor when we got in!!

[@thomassirman1382]

This was my space ship show. I was abducted by aliens during the Other One.

[@reidmyers3230]

Of all the places they liked hampton, virginia the best , go figure 🍄

[@chordiepa.9268]

I was in Hampton every spring from '84 through '89. It was my favorite venue. We always stayed at the LaQuinta Inn on Mercury Blvd. The second floor was nothing but Deadheads. "One long party from front to end" =)

[@absolutelypositively]

@@chordiepa.9268 thanks for the memories C Pa. Mercury Blvd!!! Decades since I thought of that street name! 💀 ☮️ 🌹🌩 🔔 🏵🎸👏🏻

[@chordiepa.9268]

@@absolutelypositively My first year there, in '84, we decided to stay at a campground. It rained most of the 3 days. Being in a tent we were wet a lot. So in '85 we got a room at the La Quinta Inn and went back there every year. If memory serves, it was less than a mile from the coliseum. We kept the ice machines on all 3 floors running 24/7 while we were there. LOL!!

[@absolutelypositively]

@@chordiepa.9268 yup ain’t that the truth. At least Hampton welcomed the band back year after year. Have a lot of great pics from there and all over the country at different venues. Hampton my fave indoor venue though including west coast. We were blessed that’s for sure.

[@davidweinstein2759]

I made sure to make a pilgrimage there in ‘88 and those were mighty fine shows as well.

[@camglass4560]

Is nobody talking about that Iko Iko?

[@absolutelypositively]

I am!!! Hey Now Hey Now…..Jerry’s glad to be Back, jockomo feeno annanay jockomo feenanay!!!

[@davidweinstein2759]

I’m tawkin’ about hey now

[@aaronhudlow5649]

Fantastic Iko!👍

[@craigchance1425]

Bought a ticket in 1983 for $13 at Hampton. Spent $20 on fun stuff 😅

[@iansanity6956]

Was there. The whole place was breathing

[@craigchance1425]

We knew it was fun, how fun?

[@craigchance1425]

Kevin. Are you from Brendan, Brian and Una's family?

[@gregfernandez7371]

Saw this show on my 21st birthday...vaguely remember making my way to the front and trying to get one of the security guards to let me slither backstage. yeah, that worked...not

[@craigchance1425]

Post party at the Radisson hotel down the road. Bob flirting with our girls 😅

[@bobwobbabble5151]

I was kidnapped by aliens at this show.

[@user-ww7ir1ml8m]
