Grateful Dead - West L.A. Fadeaway (Anaheim, CA 7/26/87) [Official Video]

[@gratefuldead]

"From the final show of the Summer Tour of 1987, the last Dylan & The Dead show, this mighty version of West L.A. Fadeaway shows why it was such a popular Jerry first set song. Debuted in August 1982, this In The Dark standout was always well-received by the fans when it was played." - David Lemieux

[@noogie1]

Possible Shakedown Stream?

[@gregorythomas2674]

Ok tune. Probably their best live version of it. Lyrically unusual Dead tune and musically as well. Both harder edge and music riff that is very repetitive. Not many Dead tunes where they are referencing the mob and try rhyming with copacetic. Its a challenge. Better tunes of InTheDark for sure.

“What Ginger said, she walks right in she ain’t nobodies fool. What ginger sayin? She tries to live by the golden rule Tries to treat other people alright. They’ll probably treat you cruel” Something like that. Has been awhile. I like those lyrics in this song

I was at this show!!! Them were the good ol’ days, they were. Happy Birthday Jerry! It’s 2024 and I still miss you!

Saw them Austin, TX. 1983

[@WindTreeStudios]

@pattydonohue5452 I still miss Jerry too. The shows were an amazing center of gravity for so many things. When he passed away it was like a Cosmic Circus was leaving town....never to return.

[@WindTreeStudios]

I was 16 in 1987 and accidentally ended up at a Dead Show in New Jersey. Took acid on the floor before the show and the journey continues! I will be Forever Grateful! Most of my artistic inspirations and interests hail from my years with the Dead. Too many adventures to name. The path is infinite........ Miss you Jerry!

[@Mr.Bojangles12]

Yeah , I have many good memories tripping and learning and laughing, fuck it was great🤣😂🌠🎯✴

[@WindTreeStudios]

@alaskakyle Perhaps! It got kind of blurry there for a while! I lived in Wyckoff, New Jersey at the time and went to Ramapo High School.

[@Harpua1971]

One of my favorite of Jerry’s “side projects”

[@jareds6611]

Absolutely love it, wished this song was 10 mins longer. Also loved the crowd with American flag at the end. Grateful dead was America's most loved band, hands down.

[@TheAmosmaki]

Heard it said before that they were the "most American" band ever. I can't disagree with that assessment.

[@GordonFalt]

They were America 🇺🇸

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

This song is simply a fantastic reason the guitar exists ….Jerry Garcia showed us how it should sound

[@mas33782]

I can’t believe HOW MANY perfect songs Jerry has written… he was the Mozart of our time. His understanding of scales, modes, and musical arrangements is absolutely on the Beethoven, Bach, Brahms level. If you don’t understand music theory, you still hear it; but if you do!?!
