I think most of the credit for this incredible rendition is the Bass player Bobby Vega! A legend in his own right.. Jerry is dancing to that sweet sweet Bass groove 🔥🔥🔥

[@timothypachonka8642]

Probably a year or so after his coma in 86. Once he rebooted he came back with an almost youthful vengeance in his playing. Nice to see Carlos without a hat.

[@creativelight100]

Thank you. This is probably the most interesting comment I've received about Jerry.

[@seankrause1891]

Hampton shows were just amazing. Watch the Terrapin from night 3 (3/24/87). Never saw Jerry that animated.

[@chasecarter1170]

They really brought the dance out of Jerry that night. He couldn't help but move around and shakke his bones for this one. Well played

Cool

[@johnk4437]

I've seen Jerry and Santana. A guy I guy I grew up with played bass for Carlos for 5 years... David Margen. Fire on the Mountain is one the best. I've seen the G.D. and Garcia 3 or 4 times. Winterland and Oaklandback in 60's 80's and 90's. I love the S.F. Sound ! Peace

Love how during the second solo after Carlos played, jerry goes diving for the note and you can see on his face how he's reaching for it and looking at Carlos as if to say, I almost got it and then when he strikes oil, he beams and smiles and looks at carlos as if to say, isnt this great! We got it!

[@arizjones]

This took place on 2/15/87. There is a full hour and a half video of the complete benefit show on KZbin.

[@creativelight100]

Yes. Full music documentary is "World Music in the Schools". First 30 minutes is the school documentary with Baba Olatunji and the second 1 hr. is the benefit music performance in 1987. Thanks for mentioning this.

[@sambac2053]

At least 4 greats Olatunji and Hamza Al Din were masters that the Dead and Santana looked up to, and exposed to their audiences for a reason. Bobby Vega on bass is great too.

1987 was a great year for Jerry! Some of my favorite Dead shows that year: Calaveras, Ventura, Greek, and MSG! He was happy, healthy, and on FIRE!!!

[@trishfeatherstone4549]

🌹I agree! Friend of Phil's here....those were the days!! What a long, strange trip it's been!! Big hug to you ❤️🙂🙂🙂

[@MdMaynard]

Calaveras!!! "Ever So Gently!!". Mardi Gras at the Kaiser, Frost, oh that Ventura Greek, and the Rocks/Telluride with Phil walking around town with Fam. I missed MSG though made it to the Spect. Then one of my favorite places still today, Shoreline. Back to Kaiser, Long Beach. Then that 87 New Years with Jerry Santa & Mickey Spok back stage!! My first show was 12-31-79 and 87 was definitely a favorite of mine. What great energy from them and us. A big virtual hug to you for sharing that amazing energy that year!!

[@warrenfriesner8343]

Thanks for posting! Wow, first time hearing this. Yeah, great solo by Carlos after a very Jerry solo or two. The thing that made it all so special for me--Jerry kind of fed off of Carlos; kinda shifted to something harder and more driving for the next solo at around 7:00, while Carlos is totally on fire playing a furious rhythm. It's like they kinda locked in on each other achieved liftoff. Also, I've seen Mickey Look excited but man, he was ecstatic, playing with this rhythm section.
