Grateful Dead Perform "Far From Me" 7-22-90

[@henrycuevas405]

Brent is a musical angel ....an older brother... I need this music to get through the day- it's like I need a miracle every day...Bret told Phil in a dream that he didn't mean to let the door close behind him.... God bless Brent Mydland, his whole famliy- and the entire human family.

[@jacheech]

The man died just as he was hitting his prime. Definitely my favorite years were with Brent. Nobody hammered on those bones like him.

I wonder if he could sense the end was near

[@tsimmu]

I miss Brent. Danced my way right up to the 2nd row at Raleigh 7/10/90 right by him. He was gone 16 days later.

[@JKSuccess1]

We miss ya Brent...19 years later... always with us... This rocks hard!

[@michaelfriese431]

I still miss him almost every day 32 years after he moved on 🏴‍☠️

[@metalutopia2935]

The GOAT.

[@WigWagWorkshop]

The camp ground that we were staying at for these shows, was invaded by a bunch of bikers after first nights show 7-21. They took over the campsite, ripping down tents, taking what they wanted. Fortunately me and my buddy were wondering around elsewhere, but our other buds were not so lucky, and they had to witness the carnage. Our site was not harmed, but the vibe was shattered. So 7-22, we had this eerie feeling going on, and when Brent belted out those words "My last FUCKING song for you... BITCH!" I had a chill. You also have to understand, that at this time this was a new venue. There were tons of gate crashers, and fence jumpers, I gave up my ticket for the 3rd night, it was too much of a negative vibe going on here.

[@michaelfriese431]

Yes the gate crashers that night were awful… The vibe was scary and Grateful Dead scene was getting a little bit dark but the boys were still putting out all of the love and positivity that they always have and rocking as hard as ever🏴‍☠️

[@DWAtwood]

Go To Heaven is my favorite album because of Brents songs. If you need more Brent, The Matt Kelly & Silver albums feature a couple of his vocals.

[@Sunflower0122Z]

This was a special night, the second set Hey Pocky Way was happening big time. I guess there was nothing to hold onto too, we miss you bro.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

This song would have made a perfect encore...

[@111East80th]

There's a story involving this version of this song that I'm piecing together. Apparently, Jerry was extremely pissed/disappointed at Brent for bringing his personal baggage onto the stage. The next day before the show Jerry went OFF on Brent backstage. This is documented in a couple places. Jerry was devastated when Brent passed away, having this happen 3 days prior must have been brutal for him. I had heard that Jerry was pissed and came across a GQ interview of Lemeuix from 2016 where talks about this version. I was at these shows but was probably complaining that they weren't playing "High Time" and chugging beers instead of watching the stage. I have no recollection of this Brent incident.

[@CatfishSkinner]

RIP BRENT

[@philipwilson5343]

this was really the end of the gd. rather than taking time off, they continued on and the subsequent shows were mundane at best. both garcia and lesh wanted to take some time off and decide on which way to go. but as lesh said, they needed "to feed the beast." i think garcia was especially moved; too much cumulative death around you will do that. besides being probably the greatest live band that ever played, it doesn't matter much. sometimes life really sucks.

[@lynncohen2897]

4:40 🥺 Brent’s last show was the following day, July 23, 1990. He died of a drug overdose three days later… during this time, he was going through a bitter divorce and child custody battle.

[@freelancewritermark4794]

I was at this show-Brenda’s eyes on the Jumbotron we’re going in different directions like a chameleon…
