Throwin' Stones - 7/5/15 - Soldier Field

[@2reroyo]

To see a kid who used to play the dead at college parties in Burlington, VT go on to be the last member of the band, especially during the moment where he locks in with bob and phil, is truly a profound experience to witness.

[@DeplorableJoe]

So right next to ya, bruh. Wanna hit of this?

[@DeplorableJoe]

In 1989 I was just drinking some beers in a Portland, ME bar, Trey played a solo acoustic set for about a dozen of us that night. Talent so obvious, still remarkable to watch this and know what a long, strange trip life really is.

[@JayBoyle-y3m]

Sure ,, ,,,,hmmm

[@pipepapi9090]

I thought I got to the party a bit late, 1969. As it turns out I caught most of the long strange trip. The late 70's and 80-81 were my most active touring years. Around a job and a few responsibilities, I still managed to get 3 or 4 6-7 show runs in each year. The surviving members are old and gray like I am. But the spirit still burns tremendously bright. And on my worst days, a Grateful Dead tune still puts a smile on my face and glow in my heart. It has been 45 years of listening for me, so lets just round it off and call it a life time. To everyone who ever graced the stage or filled the halls. For everyone who sold goodies in the parking lot and scrounged for tickets. To those of you filling the stadiums and who brought the cow pastures to life the day after a rodeo, this is where it all ends.............or does it? What a long strange trip it's been.

[@jambandfreak1]

Your an awesome brother. Reading that just made my day. Love seeing the videos, pics and memories. Rock on!

[@hippiejohn334]

Fire is still burning Brightly here !!! 40 years of listening , under my belt to call me child !! Finding New Boxes of Rain every day on you tube, still music to fill the air !!! I learned a while back that The Music is the Truly one thing life that Never , disappoints , leaves , etc , Seems my love Still grows stronger every day 😇😇😇 , you can always count on The Heart of Gold Band always being there for us when we need a shoulder , to soothe our souls , make us Smile Smile Smile 😁 , Soo very lucky I wandered on to the Bus !!!

[@franklinrogers6388]

I didn't get there till about '12 myself.

[@scottbing8201]

The vibe is never ending. It will always keep going with top tribute bands after they are dead or can't play anymore. I would bet for the next hundred years even!

[@oliverbohac9086]

2022 Music is never gonna stop. It'll just keep on playin'

[@theDiReW0lf]

Of the hundreds of shows I've seen, this song on this night was the pinnacle. Had prayed all weekend they'd save this song for the show I went to and I got my wish in epic fashion.

[@ggallin2011]

Trey doesn’t even know what song they’re trying to play… glad u got high one night and paid for a ticket

[@codyeynon8467]

Jerry always shone so brightly on that solo. It was just glorious. Trey gets tons of credit of doing it justice.

[@wangson]

the best performance of the entire run.

[@maplobats]

Still coming back again and again. Pure magic. And amazing to watch Trey's fingers work their magic.

[@BuckeyeInNC]

set 1 closer on last day of the grateful dead....this is one of the best performances of all 5 shows everyone steps up and bobby finds his voice. trey you are the hero of the summer of 2015 and 20 years from now do this again when you are 70.

[@billc6087]

@LazyLightning55a Thanks much, you do a really good job at capturing these moments.

[@joeynice123]

Still get goosebumps from the we're on our own jam until the close.

[@Lightningph]

Same!!

[@joeknorr9740]

I was there Saturday Sunday, my wife went all 3 nites, I wouldn't have missed this for the world, Thank you GD Tequilla Joe

[@russbrownback7159]

This was an incredible moment of musical synergy. Forget the editorial to and fro, ebb and flow, etc. - too slow, too old, California was better, blah, blah, blah,..... All I can tell you is that I was there, probably 100 rows back, maybe 150. 33 years removed from my first show. This song was pure magic. My smile was so wide it hurt. Watch Phil break in to a an uncontrollable grin at about 8:20 into this video. That image says it all....

[@bobwilson5965]

I was there and this made me so damn happy to hear! Wonderful. Whenever I hear this version it brings me right back to that night. So epic!

[@jamesfalconi8533]

Can't say I've ever watched another video that put as big of a smile on my face as this one. As a phan who grew up with deadhead parents these shows were the child of my favorite two musical entities, doesn't get much better than this

[@leannerucker6446]

3:50 bobby giving me chills even 3 years later

[@rjpistella]

i was there that night and was grateful to bask in the enormity of this song!

[@robertgordon9668]

Trey nailed it

[@bumpingpost]

Great quality sound & video! I keep playing this over & over! Gotta love those rhythm devils! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@rm1133]

Amazing that if someone predicted what the standout moment would've been from the Fare Thee Well shows prior to the concerts, I doubt you would've gotten a single person to guess that Throwing Stones would've been the highlight of the 3 days. Turns out that that just may be the case as this version was incredibly good, maybe the best moment of the 3 nights.

[@rm1133]

+Cam D. Nesbitt That's OK, I was just stating an opinion, obviously not all will agree. What was your favorite moment?

[@rm1133]

+Cam D. Nesbitt That's great and that's what it's all about. Sometimes the best moments aren't the ones that came out perfect. Just the fact that it felt sweeter to you is all that matters. Those moments are what made the GD the GD

[@wakeoftheflood2]

I can't hear any lead guitar, aside from during the solo. I understand the whole thing where trey didn't want to overshadow the other band members with his playing, but actually I think it would've sounded better if he did play a little more aggressively, in my opinion

[@AceTrainerTroy]

+rm1133 Always one of the best and under rated Dead tunes,Jerry always ripped on this tune.Definetly the highlight of the run.The only tune Bobby didnt ripcord Trey. TREY FACE!!!!!!

[@djairwolf22]

+rm1133 I agree with you 100%. I was in the building that night and I can tell you that everyone was buzzing during the set break over this solo. Trey was steering the ship for this one.

[@BMWproductionCo]

Gotta love that Bobby Weir, telling it like it fuckin is. Thank God for the Grateful Dead and all the boys, Bob, Phil, Billy, Mickey and Jerry, showing us all the light, one drop at a time.

[@russelllevine468]

This was the peak of all 5 shows for sure. . . amazing rendition, criminally underrated Grateful Dead tune. Thank you Bobby!

[@jackstraw1919]

7:45 that is what it is about, crying my eyes out

[@maplobats]

No matter how many times I watch this (or listen to it) it gives me one of those huge, unstoppable grins that kind of make my face hurt.

[@mikemednick]

Love how Mickey is pounding away like just another day at the office. Beyond excellent video as it captures the mood of everyone

[@mikesense3539]

powerful shit . I'll never forget the energy in that stadium during that jam.

[@TheChisinger]

As good as it gets never again will the music be so bittersweet thanks LL55A

[@7martin747]

We had a very long day although this song always chills me out the melodic rythym guitar is Awesome I had a long weekend but grateful times up the road God Bless America & May god Bless Martin dickey with a new Job at the Tulsa Oklahoma Home Depot 41st or 71st or downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma Home Depot! I talked to Monty & James tonite therefore my life has Changed for the better! This song was the definition of survivors it is A Classic May God Bless America & the world may world peace ring throughout all of our precious Earth peace I leave with you may God bless the Grateful dead' s music & may it be preserved for generations to come! Amen Bro

[@StJoseph777]

TREY ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wakeoftheflood2]

But you can only here him do anything during the solo, otherwise basically nonexistent

[@stevied2008]

+Dean Esmay Hit "like" without even watching the video

[@StJoseph777]

Stephen D Well watch it silly, he's great here. (He was kind of barely there a lot of the time, to be honest, but he was great here.)

[@No24us]

+Dean Esmay WTF? Barely there!? This band hardly rehearsed together for these shows, & yet they blew away any Dead incarnation since Jerry died. If it weren't for Trey & Phil these shows would've sucked & had zero energy. Just like Dead & Co. Every jaw was on the floor after the first set, & it wasn't because Trey was "barely there".

[@No24us]

Yeah, John Mayer sings sooooo well. Makes me wet. And those generic "jams" just blow me away. You obviously weren't at Fare thee Well. I've seen Dead & Co. It's not even a contest.

[@musicain5]

1:42 Mickey Hart says to Bill Kreutzmann "Were going too slow" -(SHRUGS, WOOHOO)- lol! ;)

[@SuperGoldwingman]

great catch.

[@SecondCasey24]

musicain5 I caught that to. He said " you were going to slow."

[@charlesclark8568]

Possibly the last great jam with the core 4. Rippin jam in the traditional part after "we are on our own" Saw 250+ between 85 to now and i still jam to this one. 11-2-85 at richmond was my 2nd show and that version still rates.

[@jambandfreak1]

Bobby sounds great. Never forget seeing him do Blackbird live. Love that one!

[@jonpace6759]

Big Red slayin’ it!!

[@tuckerlebsack7895]

Trey's little pull off at 4:29 is fucking filthy.

[@phishmonga713]

The torch has been tossed...❤️

[@tgproductions97]

Wherever he goes the people all complain 😂 nah, this wasn’t the performance that turned me into a phan, but it certainly got me to pay attention to him and Phish. Then 2 years later Baker’s Dozen happened and I told myself I would devote the rest of my life to seeing Phish as much as possible.

[@boblemay6539]

Good Lord!!! Trey killin' it!!!

[@Lightningph]

Yes!

[@mailbox4820]

Awesome sound and video quality!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@aaronfatz569]

Amazing! Best videos on KZbin of these shows so far.

Bob was pulling the ripcord on the tunes all weekend long. Still such an epic set of shows, and to me, this was the highlight

[@sneakonproductionz]

He def ripchorded the intro jam there... He was like pull it back in

[@davidkraus1751]

Great job

[@theDiReW0lf]

Travis Otero Same here. Never shed a tear at a concert but there was a few minutes during this song that absolutely blew me away.

[@Zenjedi99v2]

This is thee first G.D. song I Ever remember hearing, I was probly 6-7 years old then. & then I got to see them play it(this) through my miracle. Frickin' AWSOME!!!!!!!!! LOVE.

Thanks for your great recordings. Wonderful sound, and it's really nice to see the video and see them playing. Great stuff!

[@TheHonudiver]

Wondrous!

[@GregMaizlish]

Agree with all the posters re this being the highlight of Fare Thee Well, especially 3:52. I was at the Frost Amphitheater 10/10/82 trippin' and always thought Throwing Stones was among Weir's very best. Wearing a t-shirt saying "Let Trey Sing" he should've done so!

[@Josh-ny6yq]

[@freddypearsall3934]

As a fan of Phish and the Dead, I gotta say I think Trey’s solo here is better than Jerry did on every live recording I can find. Listened to about 10 versions of the dead playing this and keep coming back for the Trey version!

[@RichardGordonBruce]

Ashes to ashes...we all fall down...

[@sdsupple]

Wow that was so f'in good holy shit

[@johnnyaxe2004]

I'm a Dead fan through and through and I LOVE Phish as well..Trey's unique sound on the guitar took me a few years to find appealing..but it eventually did..I LOVE Paige and his incredible sound on the keys, Gordon's funky bass lines, Fishman's fast as hell drum lines and I absolutely love Trey's twangy and drawn out notes!! Phish is Phish and that's all there is to it..Trey's sound is so starkly contrasting from Jerry's single note picking though..a style that truly cannot and will not ever be matched..I've seen many Dead cover bands that are phenomenal with DSO being the absolute best ever..Kandlecik is great and Mattson is damn near as good if not better IMO..but having said that the only guitarist that I've ever seen perform that even comes remotely close to JG's sound is Stu Allen..I saw him in Rochester, NY around 2006 with what was the JGB Band and included the great Melvin Seals and Stu absolutely killed it..I hadn't even heard of him till that show..I watch his solo stuff and its great but I love when he jams with Phil and Jackie Greene and Chimenti..that's a SOLID lineup!!! But the 2015 Fare Thee Well shows w/ Trey on lead was somewhat painful to watch with Bobby pointing to Trey at every solo start/finish and Trey's reluctance to 'let loose' and not to mention his desire to sound like Jerry really was too much for me to endure..I just couldn't separate hearing Phish when Trey solo'd from The Dead..I would honestly rather hear John Mayer and Dead and Co. any day than the original GD members w Trey..I give Trey credit though..he gave it his all..I live in the FingerLakes region of upstate NY and there's a cover band based out of Ithaca, NY that used to be called The Lost Sailors who are now known as Terrapin Station and their lead guitarist is VERY good..as is their bassist, backup guitar and keyboardist..Can't wait to see them in the future...have a very Jerry Holidays everyone!!

Picture a bright blue ball Just spinning, spinning free Dizzy with eternity Paint it with a skin of sky Brush in some clouds and sea Call it home for you and me A peaceful place or so it looks from space A closer look reveals the human race Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face But afraid, we may lay our home to waste There's a fear down here we can't forget Hasn't got a name just yet Always awake, always around Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes all fall down Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls By and by again, the morning sun will rise But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets Staking turf, dividing up meat Nightmare spook, piece of heat It's you and me, you and me Click, flash blade in ghetto night Rudie's looking for a fight Rat cat alley roll them bones Need that cash to feed that jones And the politician's throwing stones Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes all fall down Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price Money green or proletarian gray Selling guns instead of food today So the kids they dance, and shake their bones And the politician's throwing stones Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes all fall down Heartless powers try to tell us what to think If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink, yeah History's page, it is thusly carved in stone The future's here, we are it, we are on our own On our own. On our own. On our own. If the game is lost then we're all the same No one left to place or take the blame We will leave this place an empty stone Or that shinning ball of blue we can call our home So the kids they dance, they shake their bones And the politicians, throwing stones Singing ashes to ashes all fall down Ashes to ashes, all fall down Shipping powders back and forth Singing "black goes south and white comes north" And the whole world full of petty wars Singing "I got mine and you got yours" And the current fashions set the pace Lose your step, fall out of grace And the radical he rant and rage Singing "someone got to turn the page" And the rich man in his summer home, Singing "Just leave well enough alone" But his pants are down, his cover's blown And the politicians throwing stones So the kids they dance they shake their bones Cause its all too clear we're on our own Sing ashes to ashes, all fall down Ashes to ashes, all fall down Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free It's dizzying, the possibilities Ashes to Ashes, all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) [Repeat: x4] Wo, fall down, (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) Wo, fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) Ashes, Ashes all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) Wo, fall down, (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) Wo, fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) Ashes, Ashes all fall down (Ashes to Ashes, all fall down) [Repeat: x3] Songwriters: Gary Barlow / Howard Donald / Milton Mcdonald / Jason Orange / Mark Owen

[@bobbydmayo2518]

What's this "Trey is killing it stuff" I was there. Missing licks. doing high pitched fast strumming to make/ cover up for missed cues and jams. He barley kept up first and third night. I had to concentrate on the core four, understanding they loved those songs as much as Jerry. This got me through. This video focus on Trey and he's not even important here. That said I almost left ( wish I did ) after the second night because it was really tremendous. Tight and full of the swirls and colors. (no drugs on my part). Everyone, including this Trey character were on fire. Loved it. Jerry must have stepped in for a final show!
