Grateful Dead - Playing In The Band 1987

[@jakedamphier2445]

My favorite dead tune! Love the ‘80s uptempo style. Always loved this video with the people “swing” dancing. Nobody can swing like the Rhythm Devils and as a drummer for 17 years, I still can’t get enough of it!

[@hotajax]

Unbelievable rendition I"m going to sleep tonight playing this in my head. They're on fire

[@etchells141]

Sweet Jesus!! Brent's chops in this Playin' just slays me.....The omnipotent Grateful Dead!!

[@richardburkholder3864]

Great band, great song. God bless the Greatful Dead!

[@thadtaylor2232]

80s were such a great period for Playing in the Band. This "version" (actually two different performances) is magical. Weir is playing so well.

[@ethangalloway7342]

And he still does.

[@sneakerfacevids441]

This was from 1985. It may have been *released* in 87 but this recording / filming happened in 85.

[@muz977ify]

i have to say it was quite incredible being introduced and growing up with the dead, in the 80's and 90's thank GOD for one of the best bands in history!!:)

[@NoMoreDepression]

This song has a time signature of 10/4 (ten beats per measure with each quarter note receiving one beat). This is unusual. Anyway, I love this version! Love the dancers and the kaleidoscope of dancing legs. Artistic to the max!
