[@lg4president728]

My dad passed away when I was 14. He was the biggest Deadhead I ever knew: he only listened to them and introduced me when my young self never would've found them otherwise. "Steal your face right off your head." Amazing to see how deeply the lyrics resonate with other people dealing with loss here

[@ronaldfrench5200]

That's what makes the Dead the Dead, no 2 versions ever the same.

[@annamillergrabowski3305]

Thank you for sharing this. Today my brother is gone three years. He loved the GD and was a real Deadhead. I have some of his set lists, his Deadbase that he marked up, and his big collection of CDs. He had a GD tattoo. After he broke his neck in the Army Airborne, he couldn't dance any more but at concerts, he would dance his own way in his wheelchair. He was such a wonderful person, I could never explain adequately. But the GD and music in general was a huge part of his life and a big source of comfort and joy after his injury.

[@HMFOG]

Sending love!!!

[@StarDarkAshes]

Hands down, this is the best Grateful Dead clip online.

I am finally realizing my Dad is gone for good. Such a hard thing to swallow. He has been gone since 2022. He played in a Dead cover band named Cubensis. That was for 37 years! Sending love Dad!!! Miss you eternally ❤️❤️❤️

[@jessesnyder5426]

I drove from NYC to see this show. Hit a bottleneck getting into the parking lot. The sun was beating strong and we were in a stand still for over an hour. While waiting in this line of cars, suddenly a car smashed into me in the back. My car wasn't even running. Apparently some young woman was playing with her bf's stick shift car and the car lunged into my rear. Finally, parked the car, and proceeded to find some tickets. Bought 2 tickets off of some guy and proceeded to the stadium. Had already missed 1st set. Got to the stadium and presented our tickets. They were both counterfeit. I can honestly say I had a crummy day. I am so glad that eventually I got to see the show on video. Seeing Jerry wide awake and smiling makes me smile smile smile.

[@AaronBrandt1]

My first show, first psychedelic experience. I can definitely say the moment we all went crazy as Jerry sang "nothing left to do but SMILE SMILE SMILE" changed the trajectory of my life.

I will never forget for as long as I live the day I woke up and herd the news that Jerry died. I had just gotten laid off of work 5 days earlier. I said "fuck it" and gathered up some clothed and jumped in my van to head to San Francisco to meet with all the dead heads that I knew would be thinking like me. When I got into my van I just happen to have a cassette from a late 70's show in the deck and wouldn't you know when I started up the van this song was playing. Blew me away.

[@mcaivano581]

I was in my car, had the radio on, the announcer said " head deadhead dead"

[@friendlydude4553]

I went into work and my evil co-worker shouted across to me “hey, did you hear your buddy Jerry Garcia died?” I will never forget that. What a way to learn that your HERO had just died :(

[@haleymay1119]

Michael Caivano I hear that! I woke up and hears it on the morning news. I was six months pregnant with my now 21 year old daughter. Spent the last trimester of the pregnancy severely saddened. Stress raises cortisol, a stress hormone. Which isn't good for a developing fetus...

[@vincenewton9282]

[@louwesely1215]

I’m 53 and just boarded the bus this past summer while on vacation. I was determined to listen to the Dead until it clicked. Boy did it ever. The Dead has made such a deep connection with my soul that it’s difficult to explain. Probably because I’m still processing it all. It truly has been a ‘Long Strange Trip’ getting here and I’m loving every minute of it. The best part of it all has been reading and listening to all of your stories. I almost feel sad for not being part of all of those moments. But I was young and naïve at that time. Better late than never I suppose. The Dead are a part of me now. As others have said I am now home. Peace and love to all of you, my friends. ☮️

[@DeliaDeLyons]

It’s never too late. Welcome home friend!!!

[@AJ_Deadshow]

Little did Jerry know when playing this song that in 6 years, 1 month, and 1 week, we'd have tears welling in our eyes, thinking of him as we listen... Now he's the one who is gone. He stole your face off your head the way it should have been. For those who don't know, this song was written for the events that transpired after Lenny Hart stole $160,000 from the band and fled to California. There, he would become a minister and met his demise through drug abuse. Today, and since the day it was first performed, to us deadheads, it can be a song in memoriam of anyone who has passed away, or stole from us and isn't coming back. That's one thing I love about their songwriting and performance. The lyrics were vague for that exact reason: Hunter wished it to be open to interpretation, and the band followed along with this spirit of the music being whatever it could be to the fans. Jerry said once in an interview something along these lines: whatever they take from it in the moment, however they apply it to their lives, it's a personal thing and it's meant to be that way. Your perception of their artwork is yours and yours alone, and you can never let anyone take that from you. Be open to listening to what others have taken from the music (it's a grate way to get to know them) while knowing that your interpretation cannot be altered or changed. The only way it can be affected is in a positive way as you incorporate their experience into your own, creating a synergetic effect when you relisten or even reminisce about what you've heard. I hope that makes sense. That idea is a bit complex, you might want to read it again. Peace and love to everyone, and in particular, those who read all the way through this long, rambling comment about it all! My love is for real and will not fade away!

[@thomasbaker7419]

Cool u never let them take anything from me either. Ya right remember thay just take it with thief 7 pointed badges..time passes will I'm listening ,wow I just want to boogie down on the dance floor or a field studio is fun to but this time you pick it up.i guess that can't.llove you GD dh from a death head .all 4 God and earth.Its ok if you can not continue,I don't know if I can .U wish I was just a shooting star.Low spark with a one way ticket .by 4 now ..

I was at work when I heard that Jerry died. I cried so much . I sat at my ( running) machine and @ang St. Stephen all the way through. I was heartbroken.

[@cosmicslopass]

Right on man. Every human being has the same amount of value . all experiences , perceptions, and opinions are valid . If we are open and genuine towards others then understanding and love are possible.

[@yelenakersha3520]

Thank you for the reminder!

[@ExtraPencil2]

What a deeply felt and profoundly expressed response to complex men who created art that speaks to universal truths we all experience but have no words for. Wow. Sorry for my run-on (and on and on ) sentence. But you struck a chord in my heart and soul. You heard the truth in this song, performed so close to the day he would be gone gone and nothings gonna bring him back. Much appreciated, truly.

[@Alex-nc6en]

They danced in the doorway between this world and the places to come.

[@finnconaty4036]

I once had a grateful dead hoodie on in a hospital and a man who I had never met before or since, came over to me and said "Steal your face'". I replied "Sorry". He then proceeded to show me a tattoo on his arm with the 'steal your face logo' and we both smiled and walked our separate ways. That is the power of the Grateful Dead.
