what a time to be alive!! and thank god for all the tapers! imagine a world without any GD shows to listen to.....

[@keithap100]

Wow! Great story! I first saw The Dead at the coliseum in P-town in 1974. My ticket cost $3.50. Yes, three dollars and fifty cents. They played for three and a half hours! Of course I was hooked after that.......

[@BrianRoberson-k7g]

Brent Mydland I think was the best addition to the band outside of the original line-up. I could never figure out why so many heads had a problem with him, other than most of his songs sounding too poppy.

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

This was my time in the late 60 s but started to go the concerts in the 70 s then I met Phil + Bobby in 1978 @ Springfield Mass.

[@VickeyAustin-yf2xi]

Thanks a lot! He sure is missed!!! Got to keep on trucking as best as we can!!xx

[@TheNaturalust]

You forgot the all important summer of 1987 where they came to the Big Island and we scuba dived for 3 1/2 weeks. It was right after In The Dark was released and no pills or powders and family all around. Super happy times for all.

[@gregoryodle5947]

The extended Dead at H.J. Kaiser in the 80's was just amazing!

[@3243_]

Also among other things, neither Tom Constanten nor Bruce Hornsby were mentioned. Nor was Mickey Hart's leaving from early 1971 until halfway through their last show in 1974. That said, this was still an okay history of the band.

[@bpar73]

No Hornsby mention, but they gave a shout out to Ornette Coleman. Love Ornette, but come on! Bruce was basically a member of the band

[@BlackGuardBilly]

Hard to get it all into a 40 minute tv slot

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

Thank you! I was saying those EXACT same thing! In addition to the Micky and Lenny Hart, TC and Bruce, Pigpen was STILL performing with the Dead when the Godchauxs joined the band, contrary to the documentary. The _Dick's Picks_ series started in 1993, not in 1996... 😎👍

[@DannyZeroChance]

Watching this the day before Hookahville. Feel like it's the same vibe

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

Brent was the best one to join the band + to me in the 80 s they were the best ! I loved all of them + met them all too plus Me + Jerry fell inlove at 1 st sight ! ❤️🐇🐰💀☠️⚡️🌍😘🥰😍🕊️🪽☮️their is nothing like a Dead concert plus I was backstage ! Me + my niece weren’t allowed to go out into the crowd so I had to have a guy go with me to c Dan Healy !

[@philcoulson4119]

It is important to note Merl Saunders helped Jerry to relearn how to play guitar. None of his band mates helped

[@criticman123]

Where can someone read more about this claim? I wouldn't be shocked whatsoever, but that's the first I've heard that

[@mattdavis911]

You are full of it. By it I mean crap. You're full of crap. You don't know.

[@ajbianchi85]

The entire band tried to help him get off drugs since the late 70s, why would you help someone who wouldn’t help themselves

[@criticman123]

@ajbianchi85 they owe their entire careers on his guitar playing... they sure as fuck made him keep going in the 90s so they could get paid. Bobby and the Midnites/Kingfish were dogshit compared to JGB. Jerry didn't need them, they needed him

[@ajbianchi85]

@@criticman123thats just enabling a drug addict. I love Jerry and his guitar playing more than most but he never took ownership of his life.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

Mickey's father Lenny Hart, who was their financial manager,embezzling the band's money causing Mickey to temporarily leave the Dead and the additions of band members Tom Constantine and Bruce Hornsby weren't mentioned in the documentary. Pigpen was STILL performing with the Dead when the Godchauxs joined the band, contrary to the documentary. The _Dick's Picks_ series started in 1993, not in 1996...

Nobody but Merl could play like Jerry + he only knew the notes ! His best friend who was very much a gentleman ! ❤️🐇🐰☮️🕊️🪽💀☠️⚡️

[@maryhanson8201]

Merle and Jerry helped each other stay away from drugs alcohol Such wonderful friends ❤️ 🎉

[@tristangossman8910]

I think Kris should narrate everything

[@BryanFrye-ek3dr]

Either him or Morgan Freeman😂😂

[@fernandoescobedo9201]

Pave the way for all this silly bands we listen now a days

[@thomaskotch4770]

The narrator keeps talking about guitars while everyone is playing banjoes

[@Bookworm-ye9qi]

Friend of the devil🤘

[@3243_]

Actually, Bill Kreutzmann was not part of Mother McCree's. He was a drummer for a rock-and-roll/R & B band called the Zodiacs, which Pigpen and sometimes Garcia also participated in.

[@robertdotson1467]

I've never heard "20 minutes of feedback" from these boys.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

I think he just used the name "Feedback" as a general term as oppose to the _Feedback_ title of what the Dead called for their version...

[@sknowbyrd1]

Not even a single mention of Bruce Hornsby, even though he filled in when Brent passed, so the band might finish their tour and avoid litigation for breach of contract

[@golds04]

Dead were about many things- but certainly fun was in the mix. Yet so many here- are complainers . 🤔 oh well. Wave the flag❤

Are you sure this was 1996? The video of "Don't Ease Me" in didn't come out until 2004 with Festival Express

[@cptsolo]

I recorded it on VHS in 1996 on my 1995 Jerry Tape. They probably had access to that footage before we got it in 2004

[@peterjonas4971]

@@cptsolo That makes sense. Thanks for posting this. I remember the day Jerry died. I was 26 and pretty torn up.

[@afmartin2734]

Pretty sure it was 1995.

Kinda weird how the history of the grateful dead ended about thirty years ago. Now who did I see in vegas a week ago?

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

He wrote the song _Me And Bobby McGee._ In which the Dead often performed...

[@crypttonite]

they didn’t like show business? I would consider PLAYBOY AFTERDARK VERY SHOWBIZ. I would consider countless interviews all over talk shows, show business.

[@reverendbarker650]

they dosed Heffner, THATS NOT showbusiness.

[@crypttonite]

@@reverendbarker650 not accurate retelling, did Hugh drink coffee from the crew’s pot? Don’t think so& maybe Hugh did LSD freely on his own, the shit was pretty heavily promoted mainstream. The Acid Parties were not secret. Plus, all these people are a part in the Octopus of Intelligence. Either straight up yawn CIA or DIA, Military employees.

[@davids6652]

They liked to have fun for the most part. If you listen to Garcia’s interviews, he talks abt how he hated the spotlight and elevated status with fans. He loved music first.

[@BryanFrye-ek3dr]

Does it mean they liked it 🤔

[@ksarecords8099]

Just cause they had to doesn’t mean they liked it. Even when they still had to play something like playboy after dark they still gave their middle finger by dosing the coffee lol
