Grateful Dead - Not Fade Away (Orchard Park, NY 7/4/89) | REACTION/REVIEW

[@chrisdurham6517]

This is one of the best Brent era interactions caught on video. I miss those two more than anyone else I've never met.

[@jimbattista1120]

I'm with ya!!! Jerry was The Fatman!! Brent was The Fucking Man (~);}!!!

[@waltercrain2910]

nice to see "happy jerry". he's crazy animated, for jerry. recovering from a coma might do that... oh, jerry. i miss you.

[@jeffmartin1026]

They played this song 561 times in concert over the years. Truly a crowd favorite.

[@bobschenkel7921]

"Not Fade Away" as written by Buddy Holly, and Friends, is about 2 1/2 minutes long. That barely gets the song going by the Grateful Dead. The boys can jam this tune out for 30 minutes at times, THAT is creativity. And the crowd loves them, just listen to the proof.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

The call and response between Jerry and Brent is so much fun.

[@Bear78420]

I was once stuck in traffic after a Dead show. We were all beeping Not Fade Away for like an hour ☺️

[@ajschroetlin2196]

Loving the Grateful Dead/ Jerry run that you're on. 👍

[@timbeatty8411]

Thank you so much for doing the DEAD. It has been a major part of my life. My kids have gone to shows with me and my grandkids go now with me. Thanks again.

[@janicez2630]

They were so damn fun in concert.... happiness abound. This is one of my favorite songs, thanks for the reaction!

[@JB-Deadskins]

That chant would have gone on until they came back out for the encore

[@tyronesharp9205]

I was there. Truckin up to Buffalo...

Eyes of the world June 18th 1974. Strap in my friend!

[@lisarainbow9703]

My very first Grateful Dead show , they did this as an encore, with the whole audience singing back to the band--- the energy & vibes were AMAZING!! Pure magic! 🎶⚡🎶✌🎶🌈🎶💜🎶 Biz , this was originally a Buddy Holly song, but they made it their own. Next Grateful Dead? How about "Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance"

[@paulprendergast3184]

I was there too. It wasn't my first show. That was in Toronto in 1977. Went with a wonderful woman I had just met. We're married for 33 years now.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Aww, that's a grate story, Paul! Congratulations on the long-standing marriage ~ 💜 This video wasn't my first show, that would've been Alpine '86. I'm pretty sure I was at this 89 show, too-- the memory's a bit hazy, lol...✌

[@kevinfredettte2191]

My first show as well but the encore was actually U.S. Blues. They left the stage with the crowd still chanting Not Fade Away and came back out for the encore with the crowd still chanting

[@alpetrocelli4465]

Ok, next listen should be China Cat>I Know You Rider from Europe ‘72. You’ll never look back after that. Love their Buddy Holly cover here. My love is bigger than a Cadillac! ✌️❤️🎶

[@davemcbroom695]

Keep rock'n the Dead Biz! My fav is probably Going Down the Road Feeling Bad.

[@mikecaetano]

Nice! I saw them on that tour, about a month later in Sacramento. The Rolling Stones cover of "Not Fade Away" was their first hit, the one you skipped when you reacted to their first album. 😀Buddy Holly recorded the song in his parents garage on a single track recorder with the drummer keeping the beat on a cardboard box to avoid overpowering the other instruments and the vocals. That beat is called the Bo Diddley beat. Bo Diddley introduced it with a song called "Bo Diddley" that Buddy Holly covered as well, thereby helping to desegregate the radio.

[@Jravens79]

The greatest band EVER!

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

I really love this song , they did an amazing version 🎉. Thank you Biz for the great review as always.

[@janna2245]

Dude, that's the crowd, giving love back

[@spritelysprite]

Good stuff!!! That "Hey Bo Didley" beat Buddy Holly lifted, The Stones popularized, and The Dead elevated, is based on a Rumba, I believe. Other fine examples are "Magic Bus" by The Who, and "Willie and the Hand Jive" by Johnny Otis (popularized by Eric Clapton). You may like The Dead's versions of "Iko Iko" by The Dixie Cups, and "Women are Smarter" by Harry Belafonte, they feature similar rhythmic structure. ~Peace~ ⚡✨🧙🏾‍♂️✨⚡

[@marcialynn3469]

I hitchiked from Rochester to Buffalo to this show. The stones played the next day. Hola from Baja!! I have photos

[@marcialynn3469]

Hollander Stadium 7-4-1980...maybe 79 Rochester

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Always a great song to end their show. Sometimes as an encore, but people usually just sang ❤ You know our love will not fade away - over and over and over - until we got an encore! I lost my husband in 2005, but our gravestone says Love is Real ~ Not Fade Away Actually, on the bottom of our marker it also says 🌹 What a Long Strange Trip It's Been🌹 Not long enough for my husband though, he died at 48. Played Ripple and Brokedown Palace at his funeral. I sure recognize that shirt Bobby's wearing, I even have some photos of him wearing that shirt ❤

[@barbarascotto3873]

Lost my love 2020, turned me onto the Dead. Our headstone says "you know our love will not fade away" as well. I also have a tattoo over a stealie that says Love is Real, not fade away. Trying to find peace and some semblance of life after he died. Coming up on 4 years.

YESSSSSSSSSS. GOATS!!!! I walked out of Sphere the other night singing this after a Dead and Company concert. This is actually Buffalo, NY, wayyyyyy upstate.

Loves thats real will NOT! Loved this performance and reaction Biz! ⚡️💀⚡️☘️🇺🇲

[@shipofthesun]

You can't describe how it feels to hear 20,000 people screaming "LOVE IS LOVE IT'LL NOT FADE AWAY!" ' That's church for me. 2:57 THE SCRUB! And of course it was 7/4 so the encore was "U.S. Blues". kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOupGSdjrx1bLs 9:23 "Who do you Love" is originally by Bo Diddley.

[@janbudin5900]

Love love love

[@bobschenkel7921]

For your next foray into the Grateful Dead I would like to suggest "Help On The Way>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower" from their live album "One From The Vault", WITH the intro by Promoter Bill Graham. Hopefully it won't get blocked. Please.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Grate pick, Bob!!✌🎶😁

[@bobschenkel7921]

Thanks Lisa, I think Biz will enjoy it.

It's called a "call back" when musicians and even vocalists mirror what the other is doing.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Also called, "call and answer" ✌

[@alphajava761]

@lisarainbow9703 yes. moreso what you said

[@floooobzdagget3734]

If you look close, they are whispering "call back" constantly through each show. It's well known.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

If your Love , fades away...so do you. Our Love not Fade Away..no matter how hard they try..both sides. ❤

[@vetstadiumastroturf5756]

[@Jonesnaltitude]

My personal favorite rendition. The Jerry-Brent banter is just fantastic. When I first saw the Grateful Dead, Brent Mydland is who really blew me away. RFK 1990 - Dear Mr. Fantasy > Hey Jude specifically. I feel very lucky that I got in on the tail end.

[@randy8297]

It's the Bo Diddly beat!

[@jayshulman5336]

Who Do You Love was a Bo Diddley song which contains the Bo Diddley beat which is the contained in Not Fade Away!

[@marysuewardell516]

Saw Dead and Company at Fenway a few years ago. This beat played throughout the whole night in Boston. Not the best rendition in my opinion of this by the Dead but it’s not your fault! There’s so much out there it’s hard to choose

[@jackofroses111]

Peace, brother. I'm here for you, and we shall Not Fade Away. mmm Bop Bop ... Bop Bop.

[@tommathews3964]

Favorite encore closer over the years. Brent would be gone in 90 and, to me, Jerry would never be quite the same (performing in the Grateful Dead) Jerry really loved playing with Brent and Brent would actually “push” him, which Jerry really seemed to love! 87, 89, 90 probably my favorite “Brent years”!

[@maxhirsch7035]

If anyone wants to hear an absolutely off-the-chain Not Fade Away by the Dead, they should find a Matrix recording of the band's show at MSG on 9/21/82. The one above is pretty good, but that one from MSG is off the charts. That whole show is on fire, especially Jerry's playing.

[@stephentmarksberry4484]

I did Bears at my first show after I asked Jerry if I could sit behind the amps and he let me. The first person I met is Baar dropping liquid acid on the back of people’s hands and then they licked it off. I stuck my hand out and he put four big drops on it and I licked it off. Bear hooked me on with his local dealer and Bear made some great stuff. He liked MDA which was a 9 hour LSD trip compared into about an hour and it was intense. Well Jerry let me on the bus and Bear dosed me. What could have made it any sweeter? .Me asking for a job. I would have never met my wife if I had done it so met my wife in 1988 .Jerry’s gone,the wife is still here. Roll Away The Dew ⚡️🎸⚡️

[@T23000PLUS]

yes, to the comment below. But I would point out that they never played it the same way twice !

[@trentbresler3179]

The reason you reconize the beat is because it is called the Bo Diddley beat. Another great musician that most people dont give enough credit to these days.

[@jimmorris7712]

This song owes a huge debt to Bo Diddley. That's his beat.

[@coryczerwinski4456]

[@TerranceBurris-h1g]

No band interacts with their fans like the dead!

[@DamienYuen7718]

I'm going to tell you how it's going to be, You going to give your love to me.

[@melvinroebuck1160]

Maybe it’s just me but I often can’t hear what you’re saying when you make comments during the music. Not just in this reaction, others too. If there’s any way for you to increase your mic volume, that would be great, cuz I want to hear what you’re saying!

[@lisarainbow9703]

Agreed, Biz is getting drowned out..

[@curtismoore9433]

I don’t think you’ve done Tennessee Jed, Althea, Bertha, eyes of the world, Mississippi half step, bird song, Casey jones, feel like a stranger just to name a few. Have fun!

[@jaredsearle4278]

That was Bo Diddly best.

[@HelynnHeels]

This is a Buddy Holly song.

The Bo Diddley beat is contained in this Buddy Holly song.

Send me an address and a hat size and ill get you a jerry hand hat sent over so you can represent the love and joy they gave for all their years. Takes special humans to be what they were. Takes alot out of a human to be what they were. Takes a special kind of human to understand what they were screaming throufg the music all those years. Life comes and goes and people come and go. Nothing lasts. Never trust a prankster. ❤
