[@lager626]

Brent was my favorite too he had energy that was contagious to the rest of band and Jerry was really enjoying it. I think when Brent died it destroyed Jerry and he never overcame it and began doing the Persian again

They opened 47 shows with this track and I have listened to all of them in the past few days. This by far is the best version. Brent’s energy is incredible. I’m not sure how it’s possible to thumbs down this insane feel good track.

[@nicholaskothari8150]

Ryanschind this is my favorite opener. Feels great just watching them smile through it

[@joeynice123]

I always enjoyed this opener. Always a good vibe bounce

3:05,,,, I sat on the roof of that building for this show, and Motley Crue's "same ole situation" video recording! Me and Ed shimmied up the drain pipe of the gutters and watch half the shows before we got caught! Little did I know that I'd be the one too tell these stories too the world 35 years later! My time is almost done, but having the ability to tell these stories, is my right of passage through this life! I am so grateful for these stories, I can die today, and have no regrets! This was my life, this is who I am, and I just wish all of my friends from those days could be here today too tell their sides of those stories! You, the next gen, you need to remember your past, so that the next GEN can avoid mistakes you made, and also progress into the best gen in history! We need never forget our roots! Because it is where we come from, but the choices you made, should be the learning they get! Mistakes correct the course of history so that the future can not make the same choice!

[@williamnims9475]

I do believe that the Dead are one of the most underrated bands ever. They were just a joy to listen to.

[@someguy1825]

Maybe they’re underrated overall. But they’re beloved by those of us that know them and love them. I kind of think us Deadheads like it that way. If you know, you know. We never wanted the Dead to be the most popular band in the world, we wanted them to be just what they were. And we love them for that, they were just what we needed, and thanks to the tapers and KZbin, they still are.

[@maxemerson6955]

Still are.

[@darwinxke2827]

My Mom always thought they were like a death-metal band because of their name. I played some GD at at her friends’ anniversary party. I was plying DJ… Anyways I received all kinds of compliments on the GD tunes that they had know idea who it was. Some of those assholes scoffed at the very name even they had just complimented on the music. FUCK THEM, use lube, but F-them… 💀

[@DH-xm3hc]

Maybe, but not to dead heads. They had the biggest following of anybody. I don't think it could have been any other way and everyone was happy 👏😏✌️❤️🌼

[@smittyinwootown5640]

@@someguy1825Agreed. If I need some Peace and Serenity, this is the Song. I come here once and again. There’s way more to The Grateful Dead the most people realize. I got on the Bus in the early 80s and never looked Back. There’s one thing I heard about The Grateful Dead from other Heads that I heard years ago that still stands true today. If all else fails , Twirl. It works for Me to this day.Thanks Jerry. And You too Robert Hunter. God Bless both of You. 🙏

I was there. Such a great show. But the note in the description is wrong. I believe it was July 17, 1989 rather than March 16, 1990. That series of shows (July 17, 18, 19 1989) changed my life forever, and ultimately for the greatest good. It was a long, painful trip, but the day dawned as it always does. Forever Grateful.

was at Cal Expo in Sacramento,when I first heard this tune. Never knew they did it before. Sunday pm, ending a GREAT 3 day run of shows.
