miss Jerry and Brent so much this song make me cry

[@AJ_Deadshow]

Little did Jerry know when playing this song that in 6 years, 1 month, and 1 week, we'd have tears welling in our eyes, thinking of him as we listen... Now he's the one who is gone. He stole your face off your head the way it should have been. For those who don't know, this song was written for the events that transpired after Lenny Hart stole $160,000 from the band and fled to California. There, he would become a minister and met his demise through drug abuse. Today, and since the day it was first performed, to us deadheads, it can be a song in memoriam of anyone who has passed away, or stole from us and isn't coming back. That's one thing I love about their songwriting and performance. The lyrics were vague for that exact reason: Hunter wished it to be open to interpretation, and the band followed along with this spirit of the music being whatever it could be to the fans. Jerry said once in an interview something along these lines: whatever they take from it in the moment, however they apply it to their lives, it's a personal thing and it's meant to be that way. Your perception of their artwork is yours and yours alone, and you can never let anyone take that from you. Be open to listening to what others have taken from the music (it's a grate way to get to know them) while knowing that your interpretation cannot be altered or changed. The only way it can be affected is in a positive way as you incorporate their experience into your own, creating a synergetic effect when you relisten or even reminisce about what you've heard. I hope that makes sense. That idea is a bit complex, you might want to read it again. Peace and love to everyone, and in particular, those who read all the way through this long, rambling comment about it all! My love is for real and will not fade away!

[@thomasbaker7419]

Cool u never let them take anything from me either. Ya right remember thay just take it with thief 7 pointed badges..time passes will I'm listening ,wow I just want to boogie down on the dance floor or a field studio is fun to but this time you pick it up.i guess that can't.llove you GD dh from a death head .all 4 God and earth.Its ok if you can not continue,I don't know if I can .U wish I was just a shooting star.Low spark with a one way ticket .by 4 now ..

[@yelenakersha3520]

Thank you for the reminder!

[@ExtraPencil2]

What a deeply felt and profoundly expressed response to complex men who created art that speaks to universal truths we all experience but have no words for. Wow. Sorry for my run-on (and on and on ) sentence. But you struck a chord in my heart and soul. You heard the truth in this song, performed so close to the day he would be gone gone and nothings gonna bring him back. Much appreciated, truly.

[@crapseven]

I will never forget for as long as I live the day I woke up and herd the news that Jerry died. I had just gotten laid off of work 5 days earlier. I said "fuck it" and gathered up some clothed and jumped in my van to head to San Francisco to meet with all the dead heads that I knew would be thinking like me. When I got into my van I just happen to have a cassette from a late 70's show in the deck and wouldn't you know when I started up the van this song was playing. Blew me away.

[@mcaivano581]

I was in my car, had the radio on, the announcer said " head deadhead dead"

[@friendlydude4553]

I went into work and my evil co-worker shouted across to me “hey, did you hear your buddy Jerry Garcia died?” I will never forget that. What a way to learn that your HERO had just died :(

[@haleymay1119]

Michael Caivano I hear that! I woke up and hears it on the morning news. I was six months pregnant with my now 21 year old daughter. Spent the last trimester of the pregnancy severely saddened. Stress raises cortisol, a stress hormone. Which isn't good for a developing fetus...

[@vincenewton9282]

My Baby Girl was born on August 9, 1995. We were in the hospital and looked up at the news on the tee vee. I sooo wish we would've named her Cassidy. That's another missed life opportunity...

I drove from NYC to see this show. Hit a bottleneck getting into the parking lot. The sun was beating strong and we were in a stand still for over an hour. While waiting in this line of cars, suddenly a car smashed into me in the back. My car wasn't even running. Apparently some young woman was playing with her bf's stick shift car and the car lunged into my rear. Finally, parked the car, and proceeded to find some tickets. Bought 2 tickets off of some guy and proceeded to the stadium. Had already missed 1st set. Got to the stadium and presented our tickets. They were both counterfeit. I can honestly say I had a crummy day. I am so glad that eventually I got to see the show on video. Seeing Jerry wide awake and smiling makes me smile smile smile.

I don't think Brent was underrated, he was pretty much the star of the show from mid 80's until he died. The band certainly didn't underrate him

[@George_D777]

Underrated in the sense so many other musicians have been by the industry, definitely not by the band or fans. I think it was Jerry who said the band was real hungry for color, that Brent added that color they'd been craving to their sound. The incarnation of the band with Brent at the keys was them at their best for me, for many reasons, and despite many reasons.

My first Dead show, must've been in 10th grade, high school. Lines of traffic all crazy getting to Foxboro Stadium that day...Will never forget.

[@brianconer7463]

Sullivan stadium

[@ajtassman]

Traffic was ridiculous and then we camped on gravel by the entrance...and PAID to do it...lol

[@thegreatpotatokitty8196]

i cant even finish.. RIP Simon. youll be loved forever.

[@danielcallahan5404]

Nothing left to do but smile , smile , smile....now he’s gone

[@SvarteSkauen]

I really don't know what to say. The version is splendid through and through. Brent went away. I can't cheer, but bow my head to the ground, looks like they all knew. I respect that. The music is wonderful, and the cost is the ultimate sacrifice, as we have seen before and are to experience again. Long live the Grateful Dead. I shall always love that band.

[@victoriaabt6019]

Me too!

[@daviddougherty4344]

that 2nd set from Brent's last run on 7-21-90 includes a lot of peaks and the He's Gone is followed by a Phil bass solo if I remember correctly. Just a Little light is the only song that didn't sound great when I finally acquired a SBD of that show. took almost 15 years to get all 3 nights in my collection but now except for online only my memory of that summer remains.

You said it brother. I have no words to compliment your input.

[@RandyM5]

It is a perfect Performance. They probably knew that locomotive was moving WAY to fast. He's gone

[@leejohnson7723]

Vocal breakdown at 8mn in is epic. So fun to watch jerry, Brent, and Bobby work.

[@opalkeegan1414]

Nothing will bring them back..so live each day

[@patrickcormier9066]

How about the physical/mental cues Brent and Bobby were giving each other towards the end on backup vocals? They mess up the first one and Bobby just laughs (which is awesome in and of itself), then we see em screw it up a coupe more times, then you see bobby giving him directions, points to his left which in their secret code means "no, man go back to the other line" and brent hits it, gives a nod, saying "gotcha man, on the same page now" and they then tear it up.....this might not be that neat to anyone else.

[@Ramblingrosesbigdune]

that specific part made this version very special to me

[@stevegrabke1320]

i love the vocal dueling in "let the good time roll" between bobby and brent also

[@Twotontessie]

thanks for pointing it out, I love it. These guys were so good. Paid attention, all in.

[@gbballpl]

[@bryansmithmusic3375]

so beautiful

[@blanedoe4683]

If I ever needed a miracle it’s right now!

[@tkcrazykamensky2473]

Best version of 'He's gone' I've ever seen. I loved when Mickey used to play cymbals. The song always bring back memories, of Kieth, Brent and especially Jerry.

[@tonyinmiami99]

I just love the way the boys harmonize at 03:16 when Jerry is singing the Smile....Smile...Smile!!! Thank you boys!!! Brent is spot on the Harmony...wow: Miss ya Brent
