I spent six years in prison full of negativism people. When I came home and saw a dead and company show my gf said she never seen me so happy. She understands now that they are more than just a band. The people are the best people. We are so much more than just fans. She understands the history I have had with the dead for the last 25 years. I love all of you.

I'm truly glad your out of that madness and among the Dead again! Peace bro!

[@dddd-jo2ek]

my girlfriend and I just tried acid (both for the first time) and after a while of being overwhelmed I was kind of scared what direction it was going to go in. After finding comfort in realizing what "shine on you my crazy diamond" by pink floyd actually means, I decided to see what musical wisdom the greatful dead could offer. Without ever hearing a dead song before I put this video on and it has made this experience a million times better.

[@MrSteverossiter]

Phil Lesh really doesn't get enough credit as a premier bass player. He has such a heavy sound, but not overpowering. Fantastic

[@ghogan3592]

The nice thing though is that Phil doesn't give a shit bout any of that

[@marshawalsh8500]

How blessed we’ve all been to have experienced these beautiful, joyful shows! For me it was 9/78, Giants Stadium. They opened with St. Stephen/Jack Straw. There was no turning back. I was blessed, anointed, indoctrinated, whatever it is. My boyfriend took me to that show. I married that guy. We’ve been going to shows since then. Looking forward to whatever comes next for us all. God Bless!

Best band I have ever heard and I am 67 years old and have heard a hell of a lot of bands. The Grateful Dead is a band that sends a message to you know matter what mood you are in good or bad Happy or sad after listening to the Dead you are so relaxed and revived in whatever come your way. THANK YOU GRATEFUL DEAD LOVE YOU All Miss YOU JERRY GARCIA BUT I KNOW YOU ARE IN HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN SINGING YOUR HEART OUT, YOU KNOW THERE ARE TIMES I CAN Almost HEAR YOU SINGING FROM ABOVE.

[@miked2623]

1987 JFK was my first show and made me a head forever. I made '89 at JFK and a 2 Spectrum shows before Jerry passed. I've since seen 20 shows with the variations of The Dead, Further, Phil & Friends, Weir, etc... Dead & Co as well. IMO, you can't compare the 80's era to 1973-1977. That was the peak of the Dead. Peace Brother 😎✌

Many of the GD's songs are more complex than first observed or heard. Some are downright challenging, and I speak as a musician of 35 years doing it

This concert took place my third day on the earth. My parents tell me it was a hot summer that year

[@aidamhruska120]

This concert took place roughly one month before I was born... it took me about 20 years to come across Hunter S. Thompson whom introduced me (indirectly, that is) (haha) to the Grateful Dead. I was reading some of his work and was mentioning this band quite a bit and with a great affection. Luckily, I was curious enough then, to look up what the mysterious GD was. Who were they? What do they sound like? Bang! And today, in this day and age, I am sitting here with my sleeveless old rugged GD T shirt listening to this concert. If I ask anyone in my age if they know GD, all I get is blank stares. But hey! Who cares? :)

[@bradroberson6359]

I was six when this concert happened, jumped on the bus at 41. Glad to be here!

[@lennarthallberg9918]

Agree!

[@stevethrendyle8406]

His best lead playing ever, IMHO.

[@flaccidego4291]

He played that mid tempo song with as much authority as possible. Dave Lemieu said it best: During this period Jerry was playing with more authority and with almost a sense of of urgency like never heard before. Even compared to 74 or 77" Definitely his diabetic Coma hospital experience had alot to do with that. "When I finally awoke, there I was laying in this hospital bed with all these tubes in me and all these machines around me beeping and buzzing and all I can say about how I felt about my situation in that hospital bed was once I got out I said to myself ok that's enough of this crap, never again!"🙂

Cool. 👍At one show the crowd dropped, well, did the best they could to lower a fat dude down to the field. About half way down it was a free fall. No tractor trailors so that wasn't you. Another show the Hells Angels wire cut open a chain link fence. They all drove in, put the fence back rightly and all was cool. I love the "rogue" nature.

Was not a fan until about 2 years ago. Certainly knew them and liked some of their popular songs. Then for some reason I started listening and now I can't get enough. Best Jam Band with a mix of intense and mellow energy through out a show. And as Jerry once said always different which is why I can take a trip sans drugs with them. Love the videos especially this one with the clarity of sight and sound and of course the psychedelic visuals. Thanks for posting! I'll be back for sure. Send me via links to videos you think are as good or better please...I'm on a journey... Cheers!

The Dead --- Im so lucky I got introduced to them back in 91 --- only had a few years but I got crazy and went on tour in 93 , one of the best decisions I ever made :) I was supposed to be in high school but I think that year was better spent following the dead.

[@ResearchSoundLab]

Maybe. Or maybe only if you realize how subject you were to obeying your impulses, without wisdom or discernment. Thing can go one way, or another. We can't base the soundness of a risk decision based solely on the outcome. Hopefully, you get what I'm saying. It was a long time ago. My first show was '87. But was 'on the bus' at '83. I was 13 then. Saw "The Movie". I never upsticks & followed them for a tour- but now I wish I would have. Which was the better decision? I don't know. For me- it was probably better I never went on the road permanently.

I got into the dead when I was 21, but I remembered recently that I had clicked on this video many years ago when I was maybe not even a teen yet. The pic of Jerry in the thumbnail reminded me of my grandpa and I was so curious about the man that one day I finally clicked. Watched probably the first couple numbers on my PS Vita and totally forgot about it for years- but the dead have been after me since day one I guess so it was only matter of time til I was shown the light

It was not known at the time, but the stadium's last event was the Grateful Dead's concert on July 7, 1989, with Bruce Hornsby & The Range as their opening act. Fans at the show recall concrete crumbling and bathrooms in poor shape. The Dead closed the show with "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"; it would be the last song played at the stadium. - Wikipedia

[@janeseamore1370]

That place was condemned I think and we partied it anyway. Don't worry. Bill Graham went in person and it held him in all his majesty so we should assume its was perfectly safe and absolutely wondeful. Thanks fo the history reminder. a knockin is heavy and sweet. I once went to a Furthur sho- I only been to 4 in my life- I was at the steal your face red rocks, the ogden, and the two nights of 1st bank in Colorado. ( I just realized Dead and Co means "Dead and Colorado"- I never seen that or listened to it anywyayay) There was this kinda weird security guard watching me and my tour buddy Jimmy- hi Jimmy (best person ever prolly) and by the end of the show- I called a Lucy- Lucy in the sky right as Bob hit the first note of Prudence. I didn't smile once. It was good. But they came back to encore, all in black- all of um---- my fucking funeral apparently----- and I saw that sketchy security guard eye me again- for the 16th time. I swam over 4 inches to Jimmy and said quietly but I guess he heard you know--- I said "Jimmy, that fucking dude looks at me again----everytime that dude looks at me, an angel gets stabbed in the neck." the whole place in my world went pretty silent. And Knockin'- 1/2 a note in Jimmy twisted my ear and said " Goddamn it butterfly" fucking great song. Merry Christmas. May our best angels prevail

[@gregmcbride8235]

the last song played to a paying audience. The Rolling Stones used the stadium for rehearsals in September of 1989 for the kick off their "Steel Wheels" tour(while the alternate stage was being set up in Veterans stadium across the street). the street behind the stadium was packed with people to get a sneak preview of the tour.

[@frankcallo6630]

Went to this show as an ice cream vendor. Gave up after 1 case if ice cream after realizing that I couldn't manage the onslaught of hippy girls wanting free ice cream. Ended up getting "spotted" (spritzed with LSD). Super fun. Dylan was on the bill. He played poorly and someone had to come out and turn him toward the audience. My future wife was in the audience somewhere. I can't wait to watch this.

It's got to be the same person doing that. I have several pro shot dead shows & they don't have that nonsense but a couple do have the exact same crap.

But that absolute crap on that awesome Minglewood jam is not only criminal, it's friggin perverse. Might as well have spliced the reel with him/herself taking a dump & focus the camera on the toilet turds circling the toilet bowl around & around as it flushes. That's basically what they did with the filtering & green screen effect. Everytime I watch the proshots I have that have those sh*tty effects, all I see are giant wet turds sitting in a toilet bowl & then getting flushed over & over again. If the person who decided to ruin raw live pro GD footage with fake psychedelic cheezy effects happens to read this, on behalf of dead fans everywhere; YOU STINK!!!

Well of course I had .Jerry , the man I fell inlove with for the 1 st time plus ran all the parties for them when I could b there ! They paid for me to come to Sanfrancisco to stay I Marin County for a week but I knew a girl I met + called her to stay for another 2 weeks ! That’s when Jerry took me to his shows + he put me with Merle Saunders to keep me safe from other men ! Then we would go to the big show with Gratefuldead all together ! There’s so much more but all for now ! ❤️🐰🐇🪽🕊️☠️💀🥀♥️👽🪐🛸🚀⭐️🌟✨☄️🌈🪭💧🌹😍😘🥰💜👻🥳party on with much love from a old hippie ! I can c the queen of ♦️diamonds by the way she shines !

Everyone onstage feeling a-ok this night. So nice to see.

[@SoftRockPlaylist.36]

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them

[@floepiejane]

Which one?

[@mwhite6522]

This marks one year since Garcia almost died after his diabetic coma experience in summer 1986. By this point he had already relapsed into using heroin again. It looks particularly hot and humid at this show.

[@Bruce-u4p]

I was lucky to experience a day show at Shoreline from the 8th row Jerry liked to check out the crowd.

Oh my god the Gratefuldead ! How I love them all of the time especially Jerry , he is my soul mate ! I love him forever & we have been together !

[@dashjeffreys6998]

Hard to argue this isn't the best American band ever. Many have come and gone. And many were very good. But the Dead influenced a culture. And they still are. I'm 60 years old, still groovin' to the music. Their shows all differed so much that you're never listening to the same song twice. And now of course Dead & Company are keeping us happy by playing to the true believers. Hope the tunes never die. Hope more get on the bus

When did you realize Jerry Garcia was a guitar player, not to mention a class act guitar player?

@Dan Hamilton When did you come to realize Jerry Garcia was a guitar player, not to mention a class act guitar player and composer?

[@janeseamore1370]

hi @@lizziesangi1602 when I was 13 my first "boyfriend" ripped a tape from his older brother and put classic rock love songs on it and gave it to me for Valentine's. It was okay. then one day I turned it over and it was B side shakedown street and I couldn't stop listening to it. For my 14th birthday the Dead was playing so he bought us 2 tickets for night one and his folks too us to the lot but we went in alone. that's when I realized. also realized I was alive that night. Also realized my boyfriend was super lame when he wouldn't hitchhike with me to night 2.

[@joebaby555]

So happy to relive this! Thank you 🙏❤️🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸. It was just one of those amazing live experiences with the Grateful Dead!,,,!

[@bunnybeckman8029]

Nobody could play the drums like Mickey Jesus how did he do so many sounds ? Me & my niece were behind the speakers got passed a joint , didn’t know what was in it but we had to get down from there we were to high for what he did with them drums ! Oh boy , wow !

[@alan2383]

🙃 this space is gettin hot you know now I'm tryin to catch her

[@adamcrary1602]

Just fyi, Billy is by far the better drummer of the two- Mickey might reach for and invent crazy sounds but there is No Way he could have ever played like Billy did in 73.. ever. Listen to the Dead without Mickey snd you’ll understand that Billy was as good as any jazz drummer ever was.. Two drummers is powerful but limiting also. They were never better than they were without Mickey. 🤷🏻Not a Mickey hater, at all. I believe he would be the first to admit it. He understands , i’m sure, what a great drummer is, and that he’s been very fortunate to play w somebody of Billy’s caliber. That’s my truth, you can take it or leave it..

[@wolfsvision940]

Agreed Mickey is a rudimentary drummer. Billy was a hummingbird he could play anything!! @@adamcrary1602

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

U r rite on about Billy being the best at the drums plus Micky knew how lucky he was to be with them because his father had ripped the band off ! They had no idea for a long time y they didn’t have as much money as they should have ? 🥲😢😤😡🤬🤯😰😥

[@raypendyck4922]

Wow, early Christmas present, this just made my week as this was my first show. Saw them again two months later across the parking lot when they did 3 nights at the Spectrum.

[@dougshelby939]

Alright...I was born just a little bit too late to really get my feathers ruffled by em since I got delivered upon the world 3/16/1972.. turns out that's a great year for the Dead too 😉 but seriously here.. I'm not sure if my 15yr old ass when this show went off coulda handled it. Holy freaking moly Batman 👍✌️😎

[@josevillarreal9920]

This was supposed to be the first yr Jerry was off of dope. 1987-1990 were amazing tours. Especially '89-'90, these boys were lighting it up!!

[@bunnybeckman8029]

They were just as hot in the 80 s all the time !

After all these years Jerry still watches Bobby do his thing in amazement of how does he do that ? ,!

[@josevillarreal9920]

I learned so much in guitar from Bobby's rhythms.

[@christinezeoligratefulchef8672]

I always thought it was like the head master making sure he liked what he did. Bless his heart Bobby never looked angry ever

[@RedWhiteNBluPitBulls]

Bobby was forever pleading with the mixing board to pot up his sound, poor guy.

I listened to Bob's isolated track the other day, and discovered why they did that!!!😁@@RedWhiteNBluPitBulls

[@joebaby555]

The sweat dripping down Jerry’s “Tiger” Guitar after ripping a wild solo during Sugaree.. This is one crystal clear video of a hell of a show . The crowd roars as they do what they did best ...on the fly ,live spontaneous jamming with classic rockin and unique songs and their special bond with their loyal fans who always had a blast and always got a show that was never played before or after as they didn’t follow set list...
