My night always ends on this . It may be the color of what rolls by in my life. I’m a Vietnam Vet. I don’t mention that to impress, only filling a lost space.

[@novakaya]

Hear that voice? That’s the sound of a man whose LIVED the song singing the song as his very own story. And that’s why Jerry is and will forever be IRREPLACEABLE

[@TheJelyman]

John mayer singing this song, doesn't even compare to this

[@novakaya]

@@TheJelyman Different bands. Different planets as far as power, talent and soul.

[@BrokedDownPalace]

@@TheJelyman I really appreciate him keeping the music going and I hope him and oteil keep it going as we inevitably lose more of these musical heros, but you're 100% right.

[@novakaya]

This band ended long ago guys…. ❤️

[@afmartin2734]

@@TheJelyman That's cause Mayer is a poseur and sucks.

[@charlie.something]

standing on the moon and days between are perfect in their weakness. took decades of life, love, and loss to become this frail. those songs could not have been sung in the 70's or 80's. perfect.

[@gordondavenport4019]

Perfect comment . Bless you.

For the 94 haters The Guy WAS DYING!!’ Look at him. He’s only 51. What he was doing out there was being as real as any musician has ever been. The reflection in his phrasing says it all. He’s looking back not forward To be able to witness that is something u will never see again from any other artist. An all time great on his way out,knowing it and letting us in on the true feeling. No faking JoY. No it’ll be alrightness. Oh man. So so real. In my mind he’s the A1A of all musicians. Period. .

[@brianpaul9680]

I agree.

[@sherryhoney8654]

One of the greatest songs EVER! God, how I love it❤

I just melted again, Melissa Anne C...

[@fatovamingus]

I was in a punk band and I fell in love with a deadhead and it drove me crazy having the Grateful Dead playing all the time until one day I'm in the bedroom for the Monterey and this exact version was playing on one of his Dick's Picks tapes. When Jerry started to play that solo at the end I froze because I didn't know how great he was ....but more than that I had never heard a guitar solo that sounded like raindrops bouncing off the strings. Every single person that doesn't understand how great of a guitar player he is should listen to the last 2 minutes of this song.

[@tmirkin]

I just got watery-eyed.

[@gordtvradio3465]

8:31-8:35 for me..

[@paulcanet1797]

God do I miss you Jerry

[@njbuc4lif]

Happy Birthday T.T. in Heaven.... Miss you so much Brother, Im still doing the right thing, Thank you for you.

[@dannooter1964]

RIP friend. can't believe it's been 25 years.

[@joebutler4062]

Hands down the BEST SOTM ever played. was very fortunate to hear it live at this show but even more fortunate to be able to relive it thank you imissjg!!!!!

[@imissjg]

😊

[@wakeoftheflood2]

I am not disagreeing with you, but encouraging you to check out the one from Boston a few nights earlier, 9/27..also awesome!! That ones my favorite. There's no video but it's on the archive of course, be well my friend ;)

[@veek.6463]

Oh. Glad you like this beauty. There are so many unbelievable sotm's it's almost impossible to compile a top 15 list. I've tried.

[@janeseamore1370]

Joe butler makes a strong case here. I am tending to agree.

[@wakeoftheflood2]

Seriously check out SOTM from 9.27.94 it's off the wall with the old Gardens acoustics and the crowd on first of 6 nites too

[@josephm.noviello1996]

Guitar mastery....

[@danielgill8141]

This was my first Dead show. I'll never forget it.

[@mklsgl]

I called David Gans the next morning about this version and the entire show.

[@erikmorse5089]

I think it’s the best show post Brent. Interstellar.

[@celestewaggener1698]

Love❤

[@dontfusscallruss7767]

Miss you Jerry

[@erikmorse5089]

Imho, this is the best post Brent show. It’ll take you OUT there.

[@samuelsergi3462]

Thanks for posting this best version yet !!!!

[@imissjg]

No,Thank you brother, 🙏 thank you.

[@jhope4343]

I really miss Jerry. He was a gift from God to this world of happy peace loving hippies and heads. That's how I know God loves us hippies. Cuz he gave us Jerry.Thanks God! I hope Jerome Garcia is hanging out with Jesus and jammin' with Hendrix, Janis and Pig Pen. Man I hope they're all jammin' together when I get there.

[@veek.6463]

He is God.

[@charleyhill9867]

When I was 16, I had the standing on the moon t-shirt. My Grandmother had kicked me out. I was living in Jersey at the time. put me on the train to my father's in North Carolina. I was wearing a Henley shirt under. Another guy a little older sat next to me, he had a case of beer and he was wearing the Burt and Ernie terrapin Street t-shirt. When I woke up I was looking in the overhead for my shirt. I found his in it's place. At first I was upset because his wasn't as good as mine. But in that same moment my attitude changed as I realized this kind of thing is not typical. His was older and very used. Sad thing is, I came back up to New Jersey and my mother had thrown it out. Can you imagine the anger? This kind of thing doesn't happen twice. I guess you can say it was the Silver Lining in a Grey time.

[@robertbennett8119]

I was there for the fall shows and this is surely one of the highlights

[@imissjg]

In my opinion..the BEST SOTM EVER! ..I waTch it aLL ROLL BY.. all roLL bY .. roll by

[@wakeoftheflood2]

9.27.94 a few nights earlier, Garcia professed his love with a spot on sizzling rendition of this beautiful song in Boston . I was in the room as a 13 yr old watching my first dead show, apparently looking into my future

[@mikehunt6218]

I was there too my friend and a few other nights in Boston. Some really really good shows for the'90. I'd say the Boston version is better but this one's really good too especially the guitar 💜

[@deadmetal8692]

Spectacular

[@brucegobi4686]

oh how he touched us and how he is touching us still

[@janeseamore1370]

I want to send you a standing but your heart is already so soft and gentle and loving- I simply don’t want to break it. So here, I’ll send it anyway. Because you love him and even I can promise he loved you. Here: rosemont, Ill 89

AWesome

[@NickGeoStratLP]

[@davenaslund643]

We saw them for 30 years -it was gonna be 30 for 30 in 95 We were lucky enough to see the final two in Chicago I wish I could find, or someone could post, the 8/21/93 Jack Straw or the finest Standing 8/22/93 from Autzen-if you haven't been to Eugene you're missing alot Jerry went crazy after "I'd rather be with you' His knees almost buckled before he finished with "I'd rather be with you' He's right here-right now Just close your eyes We still give as much as they were willing to give back Pass it on Om Madi Padme Hum Na ahoo eeThe chicken in Dine-Navajo!

This song is near and dear to me... But I am PISSED OFF right now!!

[@Acujeremy]

Man back in 1994 I thought Jerry was soooo old, like 130 years old or something, that dude is only 51 here. HAHA

[@imissjg]

fall 94 was awesome. ...msg spectrum and boston....fuckin awsome run!

[@janeseamore1370]

OMG!! All I wanted to do is share this video on Facebook!! For some fucked up reason, "it" won't let me!! This is not what The Grateful Dead is about!! Such a beautiful song and a once in a life time video. All I want to do is share it with my loved ones! What a crock of shit!!

That guitar. I still don't understand it. The Tiger is as familiar as my own body but this guitar is like heavy artillery. Very pretty sotm

[@jkwan74]

Honestly 94 sucked....but I'm glad I was there for this one!!!!!

[@janeseamore1370]

Honestly you haven’t listened enough.

[@novakaya]

@@janeseamore1370 yeah for real man. You weren’t listening enough. I was there too and they hit heights of seasoned mastery for most of 94 that still haunt me to this day it was so goddamn beautiful and etheric.

[@jkwan74]

Havent listened enough? So you’re saying a 94 show holds up against a 77 or 72 or really anything pre Vince? If so, good for you. Yes there were moments of blinding brilliance but not consistent and not common in 94.

[@Acujeremy]

@@jkwan74 Dude in 1994 this show made sense, 77 would not have. In 1994, this was perfect!

[@imissjg]

Honestly, I can’t find not one show from all 30ish years that …”sucked” just the mean people really😁🤔😁 they suck. As for 1994… from right around his Birthday8/1/94 through the end of the Fall run of shows ,well…it’s some of the finest Grateful Dead music you can bend an ear to. I was lucky enough to not only be there but to get in most nights and idk if you had to be there to appreciate it or if it’s just ignorance to a era that has been given a bad name all because ..,why? Cause Jerry looked bad because damnit he didn’t sound that bad ! I’d put up most nights from Boston ‘Philly and MSG of 94 against any show from the 70s and there’s just as many mistakes musically and lyrically in those yes as some have said of the 90s . And shit we ALL looked bad through those tour dates I know I was rough. So that being said IF you “Honestly” think 94 sucked . What year do you have that didn’t suck I’m super curious??

[@nolanfan626]

Or you could just copy and paste instead of ranting about not being able to share. Seriously, a problem with sharing is not an affront to the Grateful Dead and what they stood for.

[@douglynch8954]

There are many better SOTM's out there than this IMHO. 1989-91 provides numerous really great examples. The jam at the end of this is a bit of a mess.

[@imissjg]

Doug Lynch opinions.... everyone has one. I happen to think that this is one of the best. and sure....89-91 had some really good shows... honestly... those are the years that Jerry was sober and it definitely showed....but...like I said...it's my "opinion"...and there's nothing wrong the jam at the end...

[@douglynch8954]

Hey, enjoy. If there is one thing that can be said about the Dead's music is that we each experience it from our own point of view.
