So very Grateful to have been at these amazing shows in Hampton in '86! Summer 1985 & Spring 1986 Tours incredible beyond description! Miss the great people, great scene, great music...Miss the Grateful Dead!

[@DriftinAndDreamin]

These are such huge upgrades from that balcony shot I used to watch religiously. Thanks for your huge efforts, they're not going unnoticed.

[@scottcrowley77]

I only watch your videos because they are the best. Masters. You can't get any better than that. All others are not as good as yours Kevin. Thank you for what you do and please don't ever stop. Stay safe everyone !!!

[@c.n.m.1907]

This is pretty much epic when you think about it. We played this show a lot senior year at college. Amazing effort logistically speaking by not getting busted with the big ol mid 1980's video camera :) Great audio too and the first Visions. Nice effort all around by the band and by brokedown house. Thanks a bunch.

[@carriecox1677]

Incredible. Glad to be revisiting spring 86 ✨

[@likeachimney]

A spine-tingling rendition of Bob Dylan's Vision' s of Johanna by Garcia. Wow! Thank you Jerry :)

[@gordtvradio3465]

Def my fav Jerry song...all the Dylan tunes are amazing sung by Jerry

[@fatamorgana4318]

😄 As soon as I saw the date I was like Oh yeah Visions of Johanna and saw your comment. Played the hell out of this tape.

[@yourbrother5304]

My opinion. Bob Dylan wrote songs hoping the dead would play them better. 😜

[@drbaker3845]

I saw dark star orchestra play this and it was really a powerful rendition. I was in Hampton for this run, I was in college and had transferred from Ithaca College to West Virginia, met a head there who's sister was dating Brent and he told me that they were going to break out Box of Rain....and then when they did bust out it was a little anticlimactic, I wish I hadn't known. Will never forget at intermission going to the hallway and there was a big line at the payphones and a girl was screaming, " BOX of FUCKING RAAAAIINN !"

[@rkg776]

Many thanks Kevin, I've been waiting since 86 to see that China Rider again. The floor was bouncing that night.

[@billlandis2772]

Yes it was lots of energy! My first show. And what a first show it was!

[@MrSnappy67]

We were down on that floor, too, for 2nd set. My first Hampton trip, and first multi-night stand. Formative memories.

I only missed 2 Hampton shows during the period of 84-87. Alas, this is one of them. However, I did have a tape of this show within a few days of it, and now I can watch it whenever I want, so it's all good. 😉

Thank you, Tobin! Amazing to stumble across my first show this morning. Wow! Great memories.

[@trbb6768]

Just found this video. I didn't think I was going to able to go to these shows. My daughter Cassidy was born 10 days before but my wife insisted I go. I did get Cass a need shirt with a gorilla on it. She still has it. Thanks for posting!

[@merryjane684]

Hugs, Jerry, Thank you, I love you.

[@musickgypsy6145]

Thank you Kevin! Memorys be grate!

[@fatamorgana4318]

Always loved the Stagger Lee 😁

[@jonkiparsky7369]

Things I never noticed when I was going to shows: at 1:21:50 or thereabouts you see Bobby signaling to the drummers that he wants Playing in the Band next (two fives = 10 = 10/4 time, cute). He then gives the same sign to Jerry and Brent a few seconds later.

[@jimmyrow72]

Nice. Never noticed that before your comment. Seamless.

[@charlesclark8568]

third show ever. Memorable night to say the very least. Thanks so much for the great uploads

[@claymationwaves]

Wow Bob is literally at the peak of life and Jerry at the door of well you know.. dun duuun duuuun

[@carlholmes1355]

thank you brother for your excellent uploads!! Keith & Donna, Brent ; are my favorite Dead line ups, for what it`s worth. FAR FRICKIN` OUT!! A lot of tech-stuff info too.

[@gordon-hensley]

a bobby show that kicks serious ass... band cooks, of course, but settles in and lets bob do his thing. '86 a so-called 'bad vintage' but this show sparkles w/ energy. thanks to all who made this happen

[@sterlingmartin3212]

PHIL LESH!!!! Is also kicking ass!!

[@Twotontessie]

@@sterlingmartin3212one of his better tours - loud, snarly, kicking total ass

[@LudiCrust.]

This is most definitely one of their best shows in 1986 (if not their best). It was rare to get a fully engaged Jerry in 86. He was in really bad shape in the summer before he got sick. He was visibly off and having trouble remembering a lot of lyrics not just the odd line here & there.

[@geoffreyharold]

Give us THIS DAY our daily DEAD!

[@firehorse_44alpha-omega]

Dead on fire ! Visions of Johanna and Mighty Quinn were legendary.... Thanks boys !

[@Spherian7]

Really awesome chords by the Weir in the 1st instrumental Hell in a Bucket

[@meezpjm]

Bob is in a festive mood, hes on fire

[@mksland3884]

Seems his vocals are often a shouting whisper!

[@Werepizzaa]

hes on (coke)

"Cocaine's a helluva drug"

he is probably just happy lol

[@joejennings5851]

Love! This was my first show ever, I was up front of Bob Weir - what a good time! High ENERGY.

That Hell intro is fucking insane every time. So much power

[@carinocoffee591]

And Gosnold Hope Park... and bmx track! :)

[@gregpollash9885]

I was there, at Gosnold Hope, for many shows, throughout the 80's. Great campground and good vibes all around. The Park cops came by one night and brought us firewood. Memories!

[@sterlingmartin3212]

Why don't you guys ever mention PHIL? He is probably the best bass guitarist ever!!

[@mattbahr2641]

I was there and I was tripping, summer after HS and before moving to Richmond VA to start at VCU. The "mothership" though did not call it that at time. Left floor during second set to P; way back down those two short sets of stairs to back of floor, encountered group carrying a tripping fool out of the crowd... That dude was my buddy Donny from the old neighborhood....Chilled him out during Black Peter and we took in the rest of the show sitting back of floor Brent side in view of a big group of 'Spinners' remember that crew? Were going to drive back to D.C together but his ride back was a Pontiac Fiero and I just did not fit. Good Times average show.. Saw all the Hampton shows that decade 89 Warlocks and 91 JGB were standouts.

[@mattbahr2641]

Woops the above story is true and happened at Hampton but at a later show

[@hymedude7378]

Dang! Mr weir Killin it on don't ease..even Jerry looks over like how'd he do that hahahaha....lol

[@drbaker3845]

Bobby fucks up this truckin so many times lol Lol ll I think this is when he went way up in the speakers on Phil's side, not sure if this is the show but this run was sick! Bobby was Cowboy Bob in this part of his career and hammed it up during estimated, sugar mags is when he went up in the speakers just need to find it lol. Also, my friend Terry's sister was dating Brent at the time and told him they were going to break out Box , nobody believed until the end of the first set second night and they broke it out!

Whoever recorded this apparently didn’t care about BRENT MYDLAND. SMH

[@Twotontessie]

I remember 1986. Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Jake E. Lee? No - the greatest guitar player was our man Garcia. And everyone said there was no way the Grateful Dead were going to be able to go another five minutes. You couldn't be a touring rock musician at age 43 (or 46 in Phil's case)! Think about that. Garcia isn't even 44 years old here. A kid by today's standards. And they were almost right. . . . but not quite. He would get by, we would survive. One other thing - how could a guy of Bob Weir's stature go onstage out of tune and stay that way? For the love of God.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

Times sure have changed when it comes to what age is acceptable to be playing the unholy racket for rebellious youth. Bands like Pearl Jam and Phish have been going strong for 30 years and you rarely hear that they are too old to rock. I'm glad because I'm old now too.
