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 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.

[@dboyd145]

Ditto

[@Trump-dj3xu]

Yeah you got on the bus like all of us

[@emechem]

Curious how you accidentally ended up there!?

[@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 🇺🇸

[@Trump-dj3xu]

If these guys stick with it, they could be Big someday.

[@barbaraann7610]

ROFL! 😂😂

[@pattydonohue5452]

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

[@matthewhonhorst3603]

Saw them Austin, TX. 1983

[@laurietongish7941]

That riff is straight up filthy.

[@riograul2043]

Dude used to rock people's faces off and pound hot dogs backstage, then do it all over again! Fucking love Jerry man

[@MrJmt33]

Jerry in this video is a year older than I am now. He looks like he's easily ok his late 50s but he's in his mid 40s

[@paulferranti8536]

Hot dogs, cocaine, and china White... what a diet..!

[@tedzartman4507]

I don't know about the hot dogs he was diabetic unfortunately heroin is what kept him together. I love & miss him more then my family

[@ToppersGurl]

Man, I sure miss Jerry 😢✌🏻

[@TheRSTD1]

Every day!

[@Trump-dj3xu]

Heroin is a hell of a drug

[@TheRSTD1]

I really think this band has the potential to be famous someday.

[@gregor6922]

As long as they stay in school, eat their greens and don't do drugs.

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

Cannot express how thankful I am that these many old dead videos are free on KZbin 🙏🏼

It's a scientific fact that everyone and I mean EVERYONE has an uncle that looks just like Billy K!

Why the dead isn't more popular in other countries

We are everywhere. You just gotta poke around. My friend saw Dead T in Royal Guard in China and Sam's day another Dead T in a noodle shop.

[@scottsilver3580]

Got to love Jerry, love love love it growing up in the 70s, you got to love the dead PEACE ✌

Only need it for a minute or 2.

[@patrickmullins4552]

This groove is straight fire…

[@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!?!

[@BootsORiley]

how many shows did you end up seeing until summer '95, Henry. edit) that must've been unreal

[@LibertyLynch]

The remastered studio version of this song is the best they ever recorded in a studio. Prove me wrong!

[@ethanbradley2089]

That'd be a hard fight. It's one of the few songs they did where I don't mind the studio version. Althea too.

Yes, and covers of Dead songs lack the heart - and soul - of genuine Dead songs.

Just can not be describe in words 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Two hits of Mr.Natural,two sets of Dead, two sets of Dylan+Dead, hence two hits,and TOO much fun ✌️

Not a day goes by that i dont think about Jerry. Honest to god true story. But just as much as i can be so sad still and miss him so dearly. It doesnt take long to see a juicy west LA and makes me smile ear to ear.

Jerrys riffs may sound laid back ......but listen closely...inside the groove he plays some really aggressive riffs!!!!!

[@williamcushman9295]

as apropro, my life took an UGLY TURN when this song came out.. in which west L.A. had conspired an armour with me in it, including the telling line about west LA women.." already know what I need to know.." { name address and phone #} well I made it out, and once again Jerry and his wordsmith wrote another line out of my soul, like the time all the songs I'd heard many times took on a deeper personal meaning like they knew me better than god, thank you fellas for making it all special and good to dance to as well,- West L.A.
