Lost Sailor ~ St of Circumstance - Grateful Dead - 10-31-1980 Radio City, NY set3-02

Oct 31st 1980, Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY
Acoustic Set : The Grateful Dead had put down their acoustical instruments around 1970 ... only to bring them back up here in 1980. Initially, it was a 15 night stand at the Warfield Theatre, SF, Ca (Sept 25th to Oct 14th). Then a 8 night stand in New York City (Radio City Music Hall) from October 22nd to THIS Oct 31st concert which closed the whole thing. (You can find official recordings on "Reckoning" and an official Vault DVD for parts of this show). But it was indeed a delight to see to the boys play acoustic at the time !
Electric Sets : at the time, it was arguably "another" transitional period for the Dead. Many of "us" were STILL into the 1974-1978 mode and not yet onto par with the "Go To Heaven" LP songs like Shakedown, Don't Ease, Lost Sailor even Good Lovin' ! ... In retrospect though, this was a hot period too for the Dead. Great fun and new energy. Brent Mydland was just 1 ½ years into the band ...
And the band keeps rollin' on !

Lost Sailor / Saint of Circumstance / Alabama Getaway was my story. I was once so very lost and now I'm found. Like Jerry sings, "I love you, but Jesus loves you the best!"

[@Chronicchainsmoker]

The grateful dead is one fantastic band. Im only 32 and never got to see Garcia. Born after my time. I did however see THE DEAD at bonaroo 2003 one of the best times I ever had in my life. Jimmy Herring is one great Garcia stand in and Mr. Herring now plays with a band known as Widespread Panic everyone should see them live before they die as well. Long live jam bands and hippie attitudes

[@LoloYodel]

Indeed "Radio City Music Hall".

Some days the gales are howling, some days the sea is still as glass...... Still my favorite line in my favorite Bobby song man

[@causticwit302]

Love Love Love The Grateful Dead. The segue is so beautiful, and seamless. These 2 songs are perfect, when combined.

[@binko969]

Favorite live set, best version of lost sailor in my opinion. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up

[@causticwit302]

[@zadley91]

[@traebee333]

I think the '80s are the best decade for GD in my personal opinion! 💙⚡❤️

[@sugapablo]

Happy Birthday, Bobby!

[@Dylanoakhill]

On top of the mountain you can see far and wide; but STILL can't see other mountains on the other side!

[@orisonsquirrell]

[@dinafacchini6484]

[@mb65228]

[@FaFaFoFoBawth]

A very underrated GD tune

[@GarlTsagan]

Been super into their music for 10+ years and just discovered this song. Nobody has a repertoire like that.

[@GarlTsagan]

Yellow shirt guy in front row as SoC starts. Major fan

[@orisonsquirrell]

happy birthday bob..

[@lindatheobald7789]

Mule sez---reminds him living in Andros Bahamas in the mid &late 80's---such good times--such sad times--yet the Dead always would calm him down when needed---OH the old daze-(~);}____LOST SAILOR

[@johnleahyjo3568]

EPIC

[@icecoldhubbas]

JERRY TEARS IT UP IN BOTH TUNES!

[@bthornRPL]

The best man. Bob's is the man.

[@Unabonger420]

Holy shit that's good stuff..

[@GarlTsagan]

SoC is tension/release to a science. These guys were discovering some interesting shit in their time. The happy part reminds me of the happy part of Harry Hood which has some masterful tension/release

[@rainbowkeys711]

love Jerry's eyes at 10:46..... :0)

[@psyclops9]

there are no crossroads under the stars

[@Dylanoakhill]

That's for sure now! HAH!

[@psyclops9]

just a tiger in a trance

[@quezacotl72]

Man I wish I had Phil's flannel, Bobby's hair, and Jerry's skills, but then I'd be Jesus and that would just be weird.

[@GreatMooglyGoogly]

What a weird fucking band. :) The world needs more weird fucking bands.

[@ashtonlambert7673]

Didn’t Jerry hate this song lol

[@ashtonlambert7673]

Because “you can’t dance to it”

[@NicholasOsella]

...close enough to pretend
