Grateful Dead - Mama Tried / Mexicali Blues (Buffalo, NY 7/16/90)

[@gratefuldead]

"Grateful Dead first sets in the 1980s and 1990s had certain slots for blues songs, Dylan songs, and cowboy songs, and although not all of these slots were filled at every show, most shows featured some variation on these slotted songs. The cowboy medley featured various configurations of Me and My Uncle, Big River, Mama Tried, Cumberland Blues, El Paso, Mexicali Blues, and this great Buffalo show from Brent's final tour featured an exceptional combination in the cowboy slot." -David Lemieux

I’ll always remember this show as the last time I got to see Brent with the band! RIP Brent Mydland!

[@natedawg3765]

Heartbreaking watching this knowing he only had 10 days left 💔 RIP Brent

[@tannermcintosh1071]

Im only 19 discovering the dead but the Brent era is definitely my favorite

[@johngilmore6979]

Brent sings “ Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose “.

[@minenotyours212]

Damn. Wish I could have been born for this.

[@johngilmore6979]

I went for ya . Supported the boys so they could continue the trip.

[@DP-id7rz]

Yeah man, fuck these days

[@RobertRush-g1r]

I will never forget this show. Maybe I had too much too fast and overplayed my part and ended up phishing in a 68 microbus. Several juice boxes and water later and I was back in the pack, for more of the same and shaking my bones. Miss the boys and summer tour but I am forever grateful that I got to experience the greatest show on earth

[@Progressmom]

One of my favorite shows I attended. The second set was phenomenal.

[@stellablu7486]

Yes!

[@ReedRosson1987]

One of my favorite songs by them especially live. And Tall Boy!

[@paulcolvin9391]

Great show. CSN opened up and absolutely killed it!

[@tyroneshoelaces9742]

Huh? CSN sucked at that show! You were at another show, dude!

[@paulcolvin9391]

I hope you can find peace in the world. I really mean that✌️

[@charjl96]

CSN is great.

[@billbeliakoff5589]

Phil bombs galore ! He's nailing it !

[@shawnstanton2443]

Great understated band My dad's generation music Then l got into them thanks to MTV and Touch of Gray ( dug into their back catalog at 30 and now at 53 have memories to match the songs) Proof of a good band : the music fits all times all generations

[@gratefuljr]

7/12/90 best concert of the summer

[@Bangthedrum5243]

Forever Grateful ⚡️

[@brettg9013]

Quality is great but it's always weird hearing zero crowd noise/ambience

[@stellablu7486]

That was an amazing show! Jerry, Bobby and Brent were full on jammin.

[@medicinemaaan]

Miss ya Phil

[@ryangallo783]

I wish I could go back to 1990

[@jameshartman814]

The last good year , once brother Brent left all the energy went with him.

[@haroldcromack1065]

I agree 👍

[@analog_memories]

Hug your momma and thank her for putting up with you. One day it will be too late and you won’t be able to, and you will deeply regret it.

[@gr8fulpn]

I was there, fantastic first show for me, loved every second of it. (~):}

[@noabroadwaybrockett7087]

That transition into Mexicali is one of the prettiest things I’ve heard

[@haroldcromack1065]

Excellent footage 👏 was at this show with my brother and a friend

[@nellyrasulov9698]

Super ce chanteur bravo vous êtes toujours aussi populaire longue vie vous avez du talent

[@richardcogan7297]

I honestly did spend my 21st birthday in Pima County Jail, facing 5 to Life for, drum roll, possession of 63 pounds of marijuana (with intent to sell). That was Tucson, AZ, 50 years ago when pot was treated like heroin under federal law! They followed me to the airpirt; I had a 😢 ticket to Washington, D.C. Some things do get better, eventually. Marijuana is legal in both cities now.

[@liamshenk5202]

jerry's guitar tone sounds crystal clear

[@Frankenstein-sc8rc]

mix on point

[@Microtonal_Cats]

Wow.....This is 10 days before Brent died.

[@bradkenyon1643]

I saw 2 years before at buckeyelake And then it sadly was bruce hornsby😢who did great but not the same......of course.

[@jamesthompson5629]

Second show for me, and the last time I got to see them with Brent.😢

[@tomgillespie9815]

Was there also. 🔥🌹💀⚡

[@thecaveofthedead]

This footage is superb quality for 1990. Does anyone know what it would have been shot on? There's more sharpness and shallower depth of field than I'd expect from Betacam. But it certainly looks very much like video and not film - especially with the rainbow aliasing you see on music stands and such.

[@KeyserSoze685]

90's dead was Kick A$$!!!!! 😎🌚

[@floepiejane]

Bob's guitar and Brent's keys are a bit low in the mix.

[@squishybuffalo]

I feel like bobs guitar is too low a lot of the time

[@Martin-iv6lq]

Your mom's keys are a bit low in the mix

[@billbeliakoff5589]

Bob always seemed low in the mix during the Brent era. It's strange that Brent is low here to. But I love that we get to hear Phil more.

[@gtdead9443]

I was at this show

[@johngilmore6979]

Just don’t remember seein’ ya !

[@DaveWalshMusic]

Hilarious how he's playing an 80s metal guitar 😊

[@owenjackman426]

Jerry was born looking like he was 80!

[@robertthompson3941]

I saw them with ‘Dylan ( in Anaheim.).

[@promark5317]

Bob Weir is dressed like an early 90s dad taking his kids to Disneyworld lol. Far out.

[@davidsthubbins176]

I like the way they played Mama Tried at a slower tempo back in 71.

[@shaemas1537]

Jerry's fingers are youthful

[@Cavemanfbs1]

Bro.. pause😂

2:06 I literally hear zero keyboards.

[@mikerubin22]

When I was a young criminal defense lawyer, I had a man convicted of 2nd degree murder at age 21, in 1997; A too frequent occurence in our society🤢

Volumes on this track: Jerry 10. Phil 9. Drums 10. Bobby 1. Brett 2. Where is Bobby?

Damn....hope they sound better on acid😂🤞

This stuff is pretty fun on LSD25.

[@sinane.y]

I wish we could hear Bob's guitar, and not see his looks.

[@draz0909]

You can hear Bob. He plays very mellow colors, not where you’d expect his guitar to be. Almost keyboard-like.

[@dosidos9944]

Great quality but it was over sorry to say

[@benhill9209]

if u want to understand the toll drugs take, compare this mexicali to venetta mexicali. hard to listen to.

[@JayRiemenschneider]

I think they had a decent renaissance around this time but the country/ cowboy numbers suffered after 74 and were really😮cringe after 80 or so

[@stv111play]

lame'

[@finight9]

Brent died ten days later, His birthday would have been 6 days after that. He would have been 38 years old. Brent is awesome.
