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

"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

7/12/90 best concert of the summer

[@minenotyours212]

Damn. Wish I could have been born for this.

[@mikeyslashmp]

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

[@Progressmom]

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

[@stellablu7486]

Yes!

[@jameshartman814]

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

[@haroldcromack1065]

I agree 👍

[@mingau420]

Forever Grateful ⚡️

[@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

[@brettg9013]

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

[@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.

[@noabroadwaybrockett7087]

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

[@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.

[@Microtonal_Cats]

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

[@gr8fulpn]

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

[@stellablu7486]

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

[@user-rl4wq5oc4w]

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

[@gtdead9443]

I was at this show

[@tomgillespie9815]

Was there also. 🔥🌹💀⚡

[@haroldcromack1065]

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

[@KeyserSoze685]

90's dead was Kick A$$!!!!! 😎🌚

[@Frankenstein-sc8rc]

mix on point

[@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.

[@promark5317]

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

[@jamesthompson5629]

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

[@larrym2434]

I'm just here for the soft rock hits

[@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

[@grahamclews1571]

The Dead play Hag.. awesome

[@owenjackman426]

Jerry was born looking like he was 80!

[@DaveWalshMusic]

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

[@pango-y8j]

Grateful crisp sounds Jah jerrymylitis Jah everything everyone solidarity Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️

[@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.

[@odemu2074]

I was in the parking lot!

[@lyssums]

Bobby is so cool. How the heck.

[@davidhahnbirds]

Man, that thumbnail, I thought Huey Lewis joined em onstage!

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🤢

Love Bobby's Hollywood hair look.

[@davidsthubbins176]

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

[@MSAPtube]

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

[@gregerfulgerman7802]

i came down to comment the same thing! I was watching him play and trying to listen for it and just couldnt hear it

[@dosidos9944]

Great quality but it was over sorry to say

[@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.

[@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
