I’m 23, born a year or so after Jerry died. I grew up on classic rock, but only got into the dead over the past two years. The feelings they give are almost indescribable, but if you’re here I’m sure I don’t need to explain that to you. I put this music on and watch these guys and I just weep in pure joy and amazement. Whose with me?

I was at this run of Hampton shows (3/26-3/28). Best set of shows I ever saw the Boys play. Great arena. Only 12,000 capacity, best acoustics of any indoor venue I've been to, and by then Hampton Coliseum was the last general admission venue the Dead played on the East coast. They loved playing Hampton, and Hampton loved hosting them. I recall trying to find a hotel for me and my friends. When I inquired at one place about vacancy the gal replied, "We're all booked up that weekend! The Grateful Dead are coming to town and we're proud of it!" Good times.

Make America Grateful Again

[@operations845]

The Best Experience.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Grateful Dead fan since '83, they have saved my soul on countles occasions, tonight included.

[@adamchittum8776]

Jer continues to play in my body, heart, mind, and soul. As someone else noted, when Jerry engages with Bobby and the boys instead of being in his own mind, GREATNESS happens.

[@ICU2HI]

Why do I always get chills when Fire on the Mountain starts up. Ya know its coming..... THANK YOU JERRY!!!!!!!!

[@Grendel53]

right!!??

[@dianelambrou5957]

You mentioned it and chill bumps started on me 😊 their shows I will forever miss.....no better vibe anywhere ever!

[@Archimark1]

My favorite part is listening to the crowd recognize which song was coming, not everyone does at once, and roar in excitement. I remember that feeling well.

[@Meowie444]

I remember ❤😊

[@BeerTripsBeerTours]

Gotta love Jerry jumping in on "she can dance a Cajun rhythm"! Smiling eyes [of the world]!

[@sethweiss2509]

Wow. This still rips so hard. Miss this kinda evening with The Grateful Dead.

[@davidmarod1018]

Many years later I feel pretty blessed to have been 18 when this tour started, between '88 and '94 went to 60 plus shows......

[@pango-y8j]

My first show was 88 Cal expo Sacramento California. I'm from San Rafael Marin county San Francisco. We are similar age. Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️🌵 yes I keep on keeping on 🍄🍄🍄🌍🔥

@Long duk dong Happy Holidays to you Dong, from Less Than Face Productions.

[@lungflogger9]

cool, keep listening & stay strong; they saved me too, today included, it's been a rough patch lately but the GD help so much.

[@jeffwilliams8074]

There really is no one like them. If they saved your life, please try and listen to them every day. Happy New Year! Who else do you think could save your life?

[@Isaiki7114]

that's the best part of the dead. They are more than music, they are soul moving. May the four winds blow you safely home, and peace n love!

[@earthgirl369]

my 1st show was 11/04/1977, and the dead are pretty much all i listen to. the music makes me feel so happy! love the dead! rip jerry & phil!

[@dogbarbill]

Amazing how they could just segue from one tune to the next without stopping resulting in a non-stop 30 minute set.

[@rickmetzler3054]

Man this is golden --- So great to see Jerry really enjoying himself and digging in a bit --- Much needed tonight !!!

[@majorbrowntrout]

He was in a great mood on this night. I swear both feet left the ground for a moment.

[@GeeBee111]

I’m 66 and am able to share my love of The Dead with my 33 year old daughter, she heard them from the time she was born. My first live show was at Santa Barbara and I was hooked! Saw them with Dylan at Anaheim Stadium… phenomenal show

[@marke1061]

So amazing the energy between the crowd and the band. Every time the crowd erupted the boys just turned up the juice even more. It felt like a volcano was just about to blow! This rivals 5/8/77, but it’s like they’ve matured and truly mastered what they do. It’s true, we are incredibly lucky to have access to so many shows, so much has been recorded on apps like Relisten. We could listen for the rest of our lives(and I will) and still you won’t hear the same Jerry solos no matter how hard you try. How TF did he do it?

[@birdies4bb]

This concert still give me chills 32 years later. Damn I miss Jerry! Thank you Grateful Dead for making such amazing and inspring music, and thanks to LessThanFace Productions for sharing this with the World!!

[@marthaw7664]

Love and positivity ran through the building…I’ll never forget it ❤❤🎉🎶🎶🎶💃🦋

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I saw this same three song combo New Years Eve 84/85, the music really is timeless.

[@Dzilla64]

Wow...Man this made me cry. So well done. The ending was so cool. The Dead are never forgotten.

[@impala327]

I count four Leslies just in this view. When I saw them in Austin at Manor Downs in ‘85, Brent had a similar number. First time Id ever seen that many in one place! I was 18 so that was incredible to me. I love Hammond.

[@218maryland]

Good lord, Jerry absolutely shredding during that FOTM was worth it alone.. wow.

[@barrywilsonjr.1797]

I was at this show. It was a life altering experience. They were telepathically communicating w me. Unreal.

[@bigapple3870]

Wen I was in my early 20's in the late 80s and the dead would come to New York and play 5 shows at the garden and 5 more at the meadowlands and my friends and I would see a bunch of shows, the experience was beyond awesome. Somehow this group inspired a culture of community that cant be reproduced. A lot of great jam bands out there but I dont think anyone can replace the dead for the culture they created.

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

U r so rite my dear because the Gratefuldead were very cosmic + I think telepathic also ! They knew what was coming !

[@NoURider]

You missed the 12 day runs at the garden 🤔

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

I can’t never get enough of them especially Jerry who I have loved still to this day of December 17 , 2023 ! 🥰😘😍🌹🐰🐇🥀

[@TheFool37]

I was at that show and it rocks as hard here as I remembered it. It builds kind of steadily but by the time they get to Fire, Garcia is rocking his ass off. Jerry always rocked a little bit harder for the VA tribe. The Hampton and Richmond shows in the 80's just rocked like this all the time.

[@jonathanc5949]

It's always a good morning when ya wake up with these guys playing...kinda makes it feel sunny Even though it's 11 degrees out and dark.. LoL 😀 thanks!

[@Pittie21]

I attended several east coast shows, and a trifecta in Chicago. SPRING, April '88 was HOT

[@jackiemanuel]

The Grateful Dead changed my life.

[@ellarddennis]

Indeed! The person who went into that first show was not the same person who came out

[@samgiordano4387]

Most important band in American music history. Cultural significance and impact is unparalleled.

[@georgemcelroy3058]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[@Heather-r2n]

I saw the grateful Dead at the saenger theater in New Orleans and they played two nights in a row 6 hours at night! It was the best concert I have ever been to. They came out playing Trucking! And everybody was dancing and twirling around smiling we all had a great time! God bless you Greg for taking me!❤❤❤😊✌️🤗🎶🎹🎸:🎼🎵😊😮☺️❤️🙏❤️✌️✌️✌️🎶💯

[@hlf_coder6272]

It was the crowd going off on the line, "Waits backstage while I sing to you!" that set this off imho. You saw Jerry smile, Brent picked it up a notch and the whole thing was elevated. Perfect example of how the band fed off the crowd and vice-versa.

[@bustan44]

Just wow. This is 100% GD all the way. Jerry and all of them on fire! Really one of the best live vids I've seen.

[@douglasgoodall3612]

In 1973 I moved to the bay area and started going to concerts at Winterland, the Cow Palace, and the Oakland Colleseum. Thanks to Bill Graham I was introduced to the best music of the bay area, and many favorites that are with me still. :-)

[@sweetnesssoulshine7842]

I literally just stumbled onto this - and I was there on the floor. Jerry gave me a nod and sang Peggy-O for me. My boyfriend nearly lost it- I.had made him listen to a crappy tape of. Peggy-O incessantly! “The Omnipotent GratefulDead!”😉❣️
