[@BullCricket75]

I was at this show! Parked in a cornfield and the car sank up to the doorknobs in mud. We had to come back a week later after it dried and dig it out. It was also the first time I tried sugar cubes :)

[@shelleystonechild8975]

Omg sugar cubes so damm sweet what a reminder

[@eej902]

Oh wow. Thats an awesome story 🙂 ***memories

[@EatPsychedelics]

Thanks for sharing I Love hearing people's stories:)

[@awabrams]

my brother!

[@GreatgramaMcCormick]

I see your problem. I dissolved one of their cubes in a glass of water. Shared it with a friend. I had more than one friend. OMG! A day that still lives in infamy!

[@bluesman841]

The Brent years are my favorite! The songs just rocked even harder with him in the band!

[@mrbobevans]

God, I love Buddy's music. As Keith Richards said, "He had it all - lucky devil."

[@dylanschaeffer9028]

This is the best Not Fade Away I've found so far. So much emotion I feel like I'm going to explode in the best possible way.

[@flicewatter]

i remember hearing this live on 4 hits of purple microdot...the world was swirling and breathing and contorting to the music....color light and sound emotion....dance till u thought u pass out....I miss u guys

[@aoxomoxoa88]

I was the first person in the queue to buy tickets for all three nights The Grateful Dead played Wembley, back in 1990. My only claim to fame. My life is complete!

[@TheMasterTelevision]

A great story I heard from an old deadhead, one time a group of skinheads formed in the parking lot chanting white power to provoke the Deadheads. The hippie crowd vastly outnumbered them, surrounded them, and drowned them out chanting "Love is real, Not fade away!" And clapping in unison, drowning out their evil vibes with love, music, and shaking their bones. Slowly but surely, love and kindness prevailed and the skinheads skittered off.

[@hymedude7378]

irvine..87...or 88 i cant remember...lol

[@peaceloveharmony7213]

I heard many joined their fellow brothers and sisters.

[@133sean]

@@hymedude7378 I was at Irvine 88...it either wasn't there or I missed it. Or I've forgotten it, because honestly it does seem very familiar.....

[@tomcostello8220]

If it was skinheads it had to be a rally for the tangerine 🍊 Tyrant golfing grifter from motel Mar-a-Lago..... MAGA666

[@ARSciandra]

Fake News

[@insideofitall]

I'm from Chicago, and would go up to Alpine Valley for Dead shows in the 80s and 90s. Best damn place to see these concerts, IMHO.

[@richardgreen3353]

I saw them twice....once in 1968 and again in 1970. They've never left me. I've never left them.

[@susangoodrich9874]

+Richard Green- I will never leave them!

[@courtneyholden21]

Can't get enough of this song!!!

[@cj2378]

Front and center, right up the middle, straight ahead rock and roll. And the Grateful Dead delivers!!!. . . . mother-funkers, not fade away!!!

[@timothyvincent7371]

Heard this live more than once. My favorite venue was in Alpine Valley Wisconsin when I was living in Chicago. The Dead would book 3 or 4 shows in that open air amphitheatre over a week or two and there were a couple of state parks in easy driving range. Camp at the lake, lined with tie- dye banners and relax or fish during the day then go to the show at night. Always worth a weeks vacation from work. The motorcycle made it easy to cut through the traffic but the parking lot was a party unto itself. Those were the days.

[@paulwardle4761]

this is what rock and roll should be

[@tommulhall3865]

+Paul Wardle Amen!

[@wingfjin]

you got that right Paul...

[@PamelaSmith77]

I miss this so much. Much love to all the deadheads out there.

[@dannygagliano237]

I miss it too but you know everything fades away eventually

[@pinkdeadslave]

my love for the dead will never fade away only band to play outside the box and thrive doin it only band to truly capture the aura of audience and bring heart mind and soul alive on stage most bands struggle really bad to put on a good live show but the dead were 1 of few bands to be better live than studio

[@kathleenm.5936]

Never fade away....❤️

[@maplobats]

Watching these videos from Alpine Valley makes me appreciate Brent all that much more. The look on his face when he plays is fabulous!

[@roseannemillermiller6004]

Same, I was at his n Jerry's last shows

[@bridgetgrenier9373]

I love the crowd at the end.. "you know our love will not fade away"... we'll always, ALWAYS love you guys

[@QuintonSkate]

I am listening to his with my 14-year-old son. I so wish I could have seen a show with him - these clips bring back so many good memories - sends chills up and down my spine, but with a wonderful smile on my face! I do miss the shows... peace to all.

[@KalvinJack]

How’s life?

[@JudithDerancourt-nl1nk]

It’s 2023 and #2 of Alpine Haven 1989 is STILL one of the best ever. Woo-hoo❤

[@roseannemillermiller6004]

I took my girl's to several shows.Used to follow on part of Illinois to Ohio

[@Shellyflowerlady]

Wow, how I miss these guys!!! This song is so awesome, it makes me just want to get up and dance. You know that "Grateful Dead" dance we all do and love. I've been sitting here all day watching Dead videos on youtube. Enjoying all of them, especially the shows I was at, this one included!! Best times I ever had were at Dead shows and especially the parking lots!!! The music never stops baby & My love will never fade away!!! Peace & Love to all my fellow Deadheads!!! Michelle

[@JKSuccess1]

Nothin will ever top this! This IS the Grateful Dead... cruising in 5th Gear...on the smoothest road around...No one has ever played a solo this intense since... the perfect blend of feedback / distortion, sustain, tone, technique etc...and of course passsion!

[@4457Will]

Having listened to this song thousands of times,I think this version of this song is Brent's signature . It really put a stamp on the REAL keyboard player for The Dead.

[@davestoller8595]

Not Fade Away cut one of two or three greatest live concert performances ever. The Dead just sound better as time passes.

[@shelliwitham2463]

And the eye contact with him an jerry, WOW!!!!! Its amazing!!

[@marrymoon6236]

Never fucking fade away jerry,you will never fade away.....R.I.P Jerry.....there will never be another like u,u r a fucking legend!!!! I followed u the summer of 95,its the only time im happy im 42...bcuz I was fortunate to have seen u let alone get to follow u for a summer

[@redd5674]

The grateful dead is a great band. My dad has every original grateful dead albums on vinyl. There's no other band who had a sound like the grateful dead had. I read in in rolling stones the one they did on Jerry Garcia. Jerry said they got the name Grateful dead from a praise in a book. He took it to the band which were calling them the Warlocks at the time and asked what they though of calling the band the grateful dead. Everyone in the band liked the name the grateful dead.

[@nahnope8581]

Seriously powerful vocals from jerry bob and brent, one of the best not fade aways

[@briantuttle7682]

LOVE THIS JAM

[@markreps8969]

Greatest Rock and Roll song ever by the Greatest Band Ever. May the music never stop

[@JGarcia77]

I was there for all three nights! One night it rained like hell.... Summer '89 was beyond description! Jerry we all miss you so much...

[@MrStuVW]

These Shows Were Most Special, because I was there of course, I Love You All, every living thing on this most wonder filled planet.

[@chuckieluv]

[@Kruegerbeatz92]

I am only 20 now, extremly happy with my life, the music of the grateful dead saved my life. I will never get to see jerry or brent, i have seen phil n bobby and DSO a good amount of times and jerrys there everytime living in the music and the hearts and souls of every human there listening to the sweet sound, EXTREMELY GRATEFUL HUMAN. Thank you so much. The dead truly taught me how to be happy in life without hard drugs all the time. I accually cry at shows sometimes

[@artforartssake1]

amazing stuff! the music never stopped... and it never will!

[@09jackstraw]

God, this brings back such fine memories of those Alpine stands. We were young and exactly where we wanted to be. The band always seemed stoked at this beautiful venue and I will never as long as I live forget the sound of the roar that came down that hill and engulfed the pavilion. It was almost frightening the power of it. Ah, that those days may come again. Like Hunter says, "and they surely will, but not for me."

[@ccm67gd]

You know our love will not fade away!!!

[@tourhead]

Killer show! Thanks for posting!

[@Avaloswlrd]

I saw The Grateful Dead in summer 1990. They had Bruce Hornsby open for them. Our concert was one of the last ones before the keyboardist died. This song was my FAVORITE of the concert. So cool live. We sung that song forever, it seemed-the crowd going back and forth. So alive.

[@plantium1000]

Love!

[@JKSuccess1]

That is soooo intense! Jerry Rocks

[@nancyhillyer8119]

I love "The Dead"!!!!! Thanx 4 posing all the awesome songs!!!

[@wjmotzel]

I was at this show, lived 20 minutes away from Alpine Valley at the time. Still know the back way in! Anyway, this was a great show toward the beginning of a great (sadly final) era. Thanks guys!

[@stephenalter8325]

My second to last show. This show was in the books as one of favorites form the first set of the first night. It was my 102nd

[@eslmc]

Yeah man, taking their time. Still gives me chills. Know our love will not fade away. I remember the crowd singing this (and sounding good!) at Winterland for what seemed like 10 minutes and the band actually came back out.

[@shanalynnex3]

just lost a good friend but no, our love will not fade away

[@jeremiahwoodward1110]

Grateful frickin Dead,baby!!!

[@oshea2217]

Wow! They were on fire that night.

[@prescottcomputer]

favorite year!

[@jimmystrong3415]

SWEET!!

[@dspf68]

Brent was feeling it!

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

Too bad Buddy Holly didn't get a chance to hear this. We'll never know, but I think he'd love it.

[@billmckenna9296]

LoveFlatfootin1 I absolutely agree. I like to think he'd have grown into an even greater musician. BTW, it's a lot of fun to listen to this and the 1957 Buddy Holley and the Crickets original back to back. I'm also a fan of the '63 Stones cover.

[@rosekween1]

yes - he would've loved how the Dead covered his tune !!! the best version of it imo

[@BeefheartLynch]

I love responding to 3 year old comments, I just couldn't pass it up. Buddy Holly I think would have really loved this version. He was a true musician and I believe he would have given the Dead thumbs up. He wasn't just incredible musician, songwriter, but his studio work in production was very sophisticated. I hate throwing the word genius around, but Holly was a legitimate musical genius.

[@somewhereinthecity]

Buddy showed every sign of being a musician capable of great growth. He had moved to NYC's Greenwich Village in his last year, and had he lived, he would have met Dylan, Cohen, Ochs, and all the other members of that scene, and imagine the chemistry that would have taken place. Oh, yes, he would have loved the GD's version -- I'm pretty sure NFA ended up being their second most played song

[@AlecKronicle]

great version of great song! jerry forever

[@TheJohnny990]

Awsum

[@ajawillowleaf6073]

Had this song in my head all morning... thanks for putting up this video, chica. You took me back in the day! :) Peace (& Blessings)
