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]

My Baby Girl was born on August 9, 1995. We were in the hospital and looked up at the news on the tee vee. I sooo wish we would've named her Cassidy. That's another missed life opportunity...

[@jenniferg6818]

not really. sounds good to me.

[@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 ..

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@Norweeg]

This just turns into absolute bliss. Bobby and Brent laughing and singing together after 9 minutes along with Jerry very focused while playing and singing the same notes on top of the backing vocals by the guys. And then that wail by Brent at 11:30 is just insane!

[@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.

[@KDT081969]

Oh man the smiles between Bobby and Brent, that was great.

[@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.

I don't think Brent was underrated, he was pretty much the star of the show from mid 80's until he died. The band certainly didn't underrate him

[@George_D777]

Underrated in the sense so many other musicians have been by the industry, definitely not by the band or fans. I think it was Jerry who said the band was real hungry for color, that Brent added that color they'd been craving to their sound. The incarnation of the band with Brent at the keys was them at their best for me, for many reasons, and despite many reasons.

[@JESSEverything]

Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile! Gives me chills every single time. Love that smile on Jerry's face when they sing the parts that are crowd pleasers.

[@chadcopeland3655]

I’ve always loved the way the Dead plays so slinky like it’s like they played in a time signature that didn’t exist, other than in their music. respect

Capt Tripps...a FINE tuned GUITAR AND PEDAL STEEL MASTER....i miss so much..first show 71...many....to the end... Every one of these fine players massaged my thoughts for years....ty GD

[@karentoohey2975]

the dead gets me through my life daily.

[@nancychace8619]

Thanks for sharing. Superb rendition. Robert Hunter and Jerry are probably starting in writing a few new ones about now... undeniable icons. RIP.

[@nathancaine4929]

One of my best friends passed this year, just before he could catch the tour in Colorado, where we met at lot in Boulder in 2017. I just hope Jerry is showing you a good time in the beyond Thomas. I miss you brother. Tour wasn't the same without you.

[@kiltedbill7594]

LOOK HOW HAPPY JERRY IS! HE IS SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR. I WAS AT THIS INCREDIBLE SHOW. STILL MISS JERRY SOOO MUCH....

[@derekhoyt7383]

Best days of my life hands down brings me to tears to hear this again

[@RandyM5]

There will never ever be anything like hitting a tour (or 4). This was a special and unique experience that can't really be described to those who weren't there. I'm so grateful I had that opportunity. Changed my life and world view within the first set of my first show. I feel those tears. The world needs the Grateful Dead forever. This music Must be played stadium after stadium for eternity. My only wish

[@JohnDoe-gk7ok]

Brent Mydland was special. An amazing talent.

[@russellbush6323]

The best dead years where with Brent…IMO

[@chiefmouser7]

Hell of a singer he was❤

[@tovebeatty2204]

Dude could SING and jam!

[@alexm2930]

Like a drummer in Spinal Tap....He's Gone.

[@JohnDoe-gk7ok]

@@alexm2930 And nothing’s gonna bring him back?

[@karmicexperiment5034]

The details i hear in brent’s harmonizing add dimensions to the song i never caught before. Damn. What a singer. Wow.

[@corey5154]

My father passed away about a year and a half ago and this song has really helped me through some dark times. Always been a great song but it took on a lot more meaning for me after he passed away. I know the lyrics aren't exactly about that subject matter but nonetheless has been my go to song when I want to remember him. He was a casual fan and the one who introduced me to the GD when I was younger. Nothing left to do but smile smile smile 😃 😃 😃 ✌⚡💀✌

[@lillydowd8274]

The exact same thing happened to me :)

[@SvarteSkauen]

I really don't know what to say. The version is splendid through and through. Brent went away. I can't cheer, but bow my head to the ground, looks like they all knew. I respect that. The music is wonderful, and the cost is the ultimate sacrifice, as we have seen before and are to experience again. Long live the Grateful Dead. I shall always love that band.

[@victoriaabt6019]

Me too!

[@daviddougherty4344]

that 2nd set from Brent's last run on 7-21-90 includes a lot of peaks and the He's Gone is followed by a Phil bass solo if I remember correctly. Just a Little light is the only song that didn't sound great when I finally acquired a SBD of that show. took almost 15 years to get all 3 nights in my collection but now except for online only my memory of that summer remains.

[@klenmcrock5265]

You said it brother. I have no words to compliment your input.

[@RandyM5]

It is a perfect Performance. They probably knew that locomotive was moving WAY to fast. He's gone

[@edmc6637]

Brent held off nicely. You know he is like a powder keg waiting to explode vocally. He maintained his exposure well. Namaste!

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Ed Mc well that’s on the sound guy. Always felt Brent’s vocals were consistently too loud in the mix.

[@CandyABruhl]

I kiss Keith and Bruce for all the mushrooming fun we had back in the day. Many happy thoughts. Always love and peace. Always

[@someguybreaks]

Coming here to find solace. Lost my best friend today, Hershey, my loyal feline friend of only 8 years. This felt like a fitting tribute.

[@juzagirlntheroom2692]

Awe dude.. So sorry. Always sad when family goes. Had my Belle cat 23 years, from my teens to my 40s. Still grieving the loss.

[@caseybaird310]

So I'm not the only one who does that? Whew. Sorry about ur fur buddy.

[@redbear7771]

Brent was incredibly talented, with a soul so deep that it seemed to possess u and yours. Love ya brother.

[@Contractnik]

I don't know how Mickey and Bill do their thing -- it's like free form and just blended in perfect non-sync. It's amazing watching them play together.

[@jakee420]

Watching these boys fully have fun doing what they love to do,makes my heart so full

[@mattpusko]

The harmonies Brent added in this era were magical! I learned a lot about singing harmonies indirectly from listening to a lot of live Dead from this era.

[@grin64]

With head phones I can hear each instrument clearly. That's rare for my tired ears and KZbin combo

[@RandyM5]

Get FLAC files and all your music will be like that. Even in these 50 yr old ears of mine.
