First time I've heard someone say "a man who needs no introduction" and actually not introduce them😂

Couldn't have if he tried, over the roar of the crowd; but he knew that.

Was when traffic opened for the Dead. Crowd was deadheads they don't need an introduction

[@desertswo]

A lot of people don't realize what a great guitarist Steve is because they've got visions of him at 15 sitting at that B-3 singing "I'm A Man" or whatever, but man he has some scary chops on the six-string. I've been a huge fan of Clapton for more than 40 years, but I saw their tour together in 2009 and Steve gave as good as he got when he and Eric traded riffs. A true wild talent. His kind don't come along very often.

[@jscotthales]

Also an amazing songwriter and singer, too, obviously!

[@billgaudio5436]

Totally agree....known as a keyboardist but a GREAT guitar player

[@kylekhaos9941]

10 YRS AGO BUT STILL CORRECT

[@live1poem]

Fronting for Slowhand didn't let Stevie glisten very brightly.

[@LudiCrust.]

Oh I agree 100% I saw them together and noticed the same thing. On another note it’s sad as hell seeing Jerry Garcia in this condition. He was such a special musician in his prime. Heroin is evil.

[@matthewatwood2581]

Took me out of my gloom, I can tell you that. I'm in the midst of the worst time in my life. Listening to this filled me with hope & gratitude. Now I have a song in my heart.

Absolutely. I love all of those groups. I love jerry as well as The Grateful Dead. I most certainly hope that Jerry is resting in peace.

What a great, underrated band Traffic is.. A really, really good band..

[@joecreevy4086]

Funny story. Long time deadhead/traffic fan. Picked up a hitchhiker on the Dan Ryan expressway. (Chicago South Side) in town for the show. Not a good place to look for a ride. Little buddy pulled out a spliff and asked if I would like to partake. I told him love to, but my employer might object. He asked me what I did for a living. "I'm a Cop". He missed the uniform I was wearing underneath my civilian coat. I was on my way to work my shift. Naturally this alarmed him, and he immediately asked to be let out. Knowing he would be getting out in one of the most dangerous areas in America(Woodlawn hood) I told him not to worry. Let him off in a more civil area and told him I hope he enjoyed the show

[@hughbo52]

Jerry certainly added flair to one of the sweetest songs to come from that era...and to last well into today.

An excellent version if there ever was one. I remember the GD killing it on Dear Mr Fantasy in Hampton spring tour 87. Its nice to see Jer killing it 7 years later and a year before he died. I love how they close the song Traffic style. Back in college we'd spend Friday night's dosing and listening to Traffic, Dead, Zappa, Airplane, Love, Hendrix....needless to say we'd be up all night with a constant mind blower going.

I was at this concert. This was taped in Las Vegas. It was in August! IT WAS SO DAMN HOT, a camel passed out in the parking lot, and it was a Hippie camel! Traffic opened for Garcia. Their last song was You Can All Join In. EVERYBODY was on their feet despite how hot it was! This was taped later during Garcia's set. Steve Winwood came out to sing this with Garcia's band. People went nuts during the last part of this song. It was fabulous!

I honestly thought the Avetts had a shot at becoming a touring force not fully like the Dead but as close as any other band could get- then they done F’d up and signed w/ Rubin now the entire fan base has become VERY wealthy white folk and that’s it- pre Carpenter their shows had a vibe that put me close to where these ones did- but it was the people, sadly like myself we all tossed the koolaid and moved on- they’re special but lost my respect by selling out

[@kevinpackard]

Someone posted that this concert was in Vegas, July '94. If so, I was there! SO bitter-sweet listening to The Dead. In 1994, I thought I knew exactly who I was and where I was going. Career on track. Steady GF of 6 years. Great friends. Not a care in the world. We hit every Dead show within 500 miles of Los Angeles in my VW bus. One year later my career was in shambles, GF gone, and Jerry was gone. It took 6 months of bumming around Europe before I took some personal stock. I came back to the U.S., resurrected my career, met the love of my life, and started a family. But I will always associate the music of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead with that joyful and carefree period in my life. Thanks for posting.

[@iamkenman101]

I'm a big Dead fan and I've seen them and Ive seen them a couple dozen times. Never had the change to see Winwood. That being said, I prefer Winwood's guitar playing over Jerry's. Jerry Garcia used heavily modified custom guitars, tone of effects (including a guitar synth, but his tone was almost always the same. Jerry played a lot of quick 1/16th notes and 1/8 notes and his solos were way too monotonous.

[@Tommy2shoe811]

+Led ZeppelinFan I agree with the Jerry critique but you gotta realize he was in the end days of a brutal disease so you can't really judge based on this performance or those from really any of the 90's. If you want to see true greatness check out the Dead's performance of Morning Dew from Cornell '77. True masterpiece. It'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up
