All those beautiful souls dancing with joy, peace, friendship .... how I miss those days.

[@danielorlando8172]

The ultimate song of perseverance. The harder life gets I am always reminded of this song. Thank you mr. Garcia, I have carried your inspiration with me since 1975

My uncle Bob was the biggest deadhead ever. Anytime the dead played golden gate park, our whole family went to the show. Watching this feels like it was just a couple of years ago... WE MISS YOU JERRY!

[@michelaser]

You could tell by their setup that they are playing for the love of the music, everything is calm, cool and natural

[@karlmoles6530]

I am so glad I discovered The Dead, there is magic in their music.

I've been on the Bus since the early 80's! ✌💀👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸🌹❤

[@jcavilia1]

Welcome to the party, brother. I didn't see them live that many times, but I got an early start - saw them play for free in Golden Gate Park around 1967. "Magic" is the right word. Jerry was (is) a supernatural force. Enjoy.

Last time I saw Jerry was in the late 80s. He wasn't playing with the grateful Dead. It was him and David Grisman. I just remember that large smile he was so friendly we shook hands and he asked me how I'd been. He was just so happy I really believe Jerry love to be traveling around and playing and singing music that was his life I was so saddened by the news of his passing

[@patrickcollins6830]

Oh, boy -- this is so beautiful in so many ways. Who would ever even think to write a song like this, both in the music and the lyrics? Just the Dead, and yes, you had to be there.

[@raymondbermudez2920]

A great band indeed I’m sorry mr Garcia you are not here with us may you Rest In Peace ✌️ and thank you 🙏 sir for the great music 🎼

[@geoffreybaer6367]

I had the great fortune to go to grad school in Berkeley 1969-1972, then found and lived at the Fillmore West 3 nights a week. There, I found the Dead and a philosophy for life that stayed with me for the next 52 years. NOW I'M A TOUCH OF GREY... HI LIAM!

[@charlesmiller1487]

Jerry rocks on forever👍🏾

[@RandyR]

Motivational song and one of many memories. My ex and I were at the Anaheim Stadium concert-event, on my Birthday 7/26/87. It was a hi flying day. Largest Love In. Was flying at super speed for 4 days. Feeling groovy. (Then came the crash) A year later, I was in my first drug rehab. I had oded. Amazing how things changed in a year. Tomorrow will be kicking back an treating it like any other day. Will probably go to my mom's and I favorite restaurant down the street. Also was the last time we had together. Back to work. Somehow, I will survive! We will survive!

[@mikesallaberry3718]

This was such an awesome day and tribute to Bill Graham. I'll never forget the Otis Spunkmeyer prop plane flying overhead and dropping carnations on the huge crowd. Couldn't tell for awhile what was about to rain down on us and the guy next to me was convinced they were tabs of acid. LOL I miss all these free shows that used to happen at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park. Crowds of 100,000 were common

[@trainier]

These folks started a movement that is truly magical still today in 2023. I continue to listen to bands clearly influenced by The Grateful Dead. What a wonderful gift these performances are. They are timeless and will never get old for me. Thanks so much!

[@ryanscarola]

I listen to this song on my morning run.

[@schmoanon1747]

This was awesome. This was a Bill Graham tribute concert. He died a few days previous to this concert date. 'Touch of Grey' was an encore to this tribute concert.

[@andreaugusto5395]

Jerry Garcia mostrava não estar nada bem no seu semblante nesse show, penso eu que possivelmente isso devia ser consequência da ausência do Bill entre eles.

[@DevilDogDen1775]

This was a memorial concert for Bill Graham who along with his girlfriend, was killed in a Helicopter crash. At the time I lived about a mile from Golden Gate Park, so of course I went. The estimated crowd size was about 300,000 or so, but everyone was really chill. Some cop told me that there were only about 5 arrests.... And MUNI had free busses to the park... Yeah, it was an incredible experience.... Never forget it... ❤❤❤

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Every person is unique and can never be replaced. John Mayer is doing a great job, he's a better singer, and probably a better player. But for most people, there's no one like the original.

@@tmmoringAs a guitar player who has seen them both live several times and who knows the Dead's music like the back of my hand, I can say that it's not unreasonable to say that John Mayer is a better guitarist than Jerry Garcia. I wouldn't necessarily say that myself, but it's not crazy.

i'm from san francisco and went to this show in GG park..... for Bill Grahms memorial after his helicopter crashed on the way home from him greeting the musicians at a Concord Pavilion show.....just 40 miles away from his Marin County home...... what i noticed here was this show was VERY local free show in the park...... the stage, PA and workers all came for free and did this..... no big corporate touring companies, just local artist from the GD family and scene...... ( also, take note, someone forgot to bring Jerry's effects..... he is using the TWIN/MAC rig clean, no effects :)

This was the Bill Graham memorial. I was at this show, Dead closed with a complete set, but Neil Young played Forever Young with them (not a good match imo) and Fogerty played a few songs with them (good match). Lots of interesting things that day. A fun time.

[@TheMikeMase]

god damn this just made me sad jerry never got to play a closing OSL set as the legacy act. Wish dude was still here, dead and co is great but I can tell it doesn’t hold a candle to seeing the real thing.

Crazy not even 5 years later, he died at a young age but looked easily 20 years older because of his lifestyle.

To be fair he had just turned 49 here and looked 69. But thats all right.

[@CryptoMoonShot-om3hp]

Crazy how much older he looks than 49 years old. So sad how much drugs, obesity, and leading an unhealthy lifestyle all together with his diabetes can age a person. He looks 20 years older. Drugs took his precious life away but we can come back to see a great piece of our musical history thanks to KZbin.
