Mission in the rain is the most beautiful song ever written.

[@lisaberatta4168]

It just is one of the most beautiful songs ever written ♥

[@ericmayhew5659]

can't argue with that

[@Karmakatt6]

Absolutely..

[@obiwanudonnome814]

Easily one of the saddest songs ever written.

[@jdel7525]

Song is off the charts. Beyond

[@davidcurtis7547]

garcia band at their best and then at 53.13 out comes Robert Hunter . Thank you to who ever captured this for all time

[@patrickmizvesky6634]

I miss Jerry first show I ever saw I was hooked hope you're jamming up in heaven when I get there

[@helix-phase]

Robert Hunter was an epic boss. rest in peace

[@susiefairfield7218]

Never get tired of watching this video Thank you VooDoola ..i will come again... Listened to this show on cassette tape for decades...and now i can watch the video ..blows my mind everytime

[@VirginiaWolf88]

Robert Hunter is so awesome!!!!!

[@VirginiaWolf88]

Thank You for sharing this Voodoonola. It brings back great memories and is nice to watch as well :)

[@jennifercreed1940]

The most epic, beautiful, performance of Mission in the Rain I have ever heard. The entire show is outstanding the boys were firing on all cylinders..BRAVO! RIP Jerry, John, Nicky

[@daveyboy8907]

My favorite mission to..perfection

[@kevinmaddog3064]

The whole show was epic. Jerry was on point in 1980-82

[@dickhedd8490]

Killer Mission!!

[@robertepstein1988]

i think it is Ozzie on Keys and Johnny on Drums? I saw this configuration about one week beforehand at Rutgers.

[@michaelmcintire8781]

Give the 3/18/1978 from Capital theater NJ a listen

[@melissablocker4595]

From harder they come til the end of the show is life changing. It will honestly get you through any bad patch you find yourself in, priceless

[@charliejervis2747]

That’s the best Robert Hunter performance I’ve ever seen. 🤩

[@BugsBunnysBrother]

This show still knocks me out. Got to see both that night, the late show was always the gift.

[@richardross3066]

Absolute total joy to finally watch this concert which I have listened to a hundred times. The greatest lyricist and guitarist on stage together. Tears of joy.

[@Jackchester1]

I went to both shows this night.. In fact most of the time JGB came to the Capitol there was an early and late show which for many of us was just a really long single show with a nice break between sets!! We would all pile into the old Heidleberg Bar behind the Capitol between shows!! Great memories. Thanks for posting this and please keep doing so.

[@lukesponsler7582]

Did you have to buy two tickets? What percentage of the crowd did both shows. A double header would be epic.

[@gratefuldug]

God must really love you

[@martinwhelan6629]

This Show is just Magic

[@whitneyh9778]

Wow! I was listening to this show while working around the house and when Promontory Rider really got going it sure grabbed my attention! This is a true gem of a show.

[@Karmakatt6]

First time I heard it. In 2021!!

[@doozydoug4141]

Thank you Voo !!! The sacred vault has opened up to you for sure.... what a public service you are providing to us all.... this past week has been extraordinary with all of these new JGB shows ~ to watch these recent uploads, and hear the "Promontory Rider" ...(which I first heard as filler on one of my first GD bootlegs cassettes in 1981) is amazing. Who knew 34 years later - Voodoonola would play the same role as the cool older Brother, with all of the good recordings, and share Jerry's music with the world....but now through videos on KZbin!!! I never knew how happy Jerry looked back then. What a treat to see him sway & smile so much. It's no secret that he liked playing with his "bar band" more than his role in the GD by now ..and you can just feel the joy in his performance, a man in his natural element, playing freestyle,improvising, and working his magic.... expressing himself in that signature /original sound he created ....What a legacy of LOVE he left us all to still share, and relish in..... GOD bless you Voo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marycanfield8654]

You write very well. AND THIS IS A LOT MORE CONVENIENT Than tapes, Lol! THANK YOU! HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!

[@craigcraig9731]

I AGREE🎶🎶🎶🌈💯👍PERCENT🛸🎸🎶🎶🎶🌹🎶🎶🎶👽🎶🎶🎶😪❤️💜💙💚

[@Karmakatt6]

Everyone's a Promontory Rider, some just don't know it yet ❤ ❤ ❤

[@SuperJayfive]

I had a picture of Jerry from this show stuck on my refrigerator fro years (great shot) this is the first time I heard the show.. Fucking WOW!!

[@augustwest5273]

That was a lot of fun. Promotory Rider also I have so much more appreciation for Robert Hunters contributions as I get wiser and older. I just have to bow in thanks and respect.

[@neillippard]

Great Jerry Band line-up, they flow. John Kahn's bass sounds incredible!

[@davidshane9139]

John Kahn,s solo was spine tingling. Flashbacks and hashstacks thanks

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

what an american treasure ;:). mr john kahn !!!!! did u know he actually found a young hawaiin kid to play guitar for the JGB in 1996..... i think they did one show at Catalyst in santa cruz..... i coiuld be wrong about that one.... John passed 1 yr after jerry..... when i die, i am gonna go watch them all day !!!!!

[@garydefoe4137]

Love it will make you give your soul to true love to who you love ❤❤

[@oregoncannabusiness9088]

what a treat to see and hear Robert Hunter sit in for two tunes. A great version of Promitory Rider.

[@segan63]

At 1:01:15, it's great to see Jerry smiling and getting a kick out of Hunter getting into his song. Thank you, Voodoonola!

[@zachhayes702]

That part gets me every time ! Never gets old or less zinging

[@kevinmaddog3064]

Well known he had more fun in JGB.

[@cielogray1]

wow! great...great...great! Robert Hunter terrific, too!

[@DrJerome42]

Possibly the best JGB video I've ever seen. STEP UP!

[@brewn0te]

starting around 17:39 - great key solo by Ozzie Ahlers! I love this concert - still listening.

[@mekine-4606]

Thanks Voodoonola2!!!...=•)) '80's were some smokin' years for both JGB and Dead or even some Merle and Jerry. Jerry is especially hot at this gig. Thanks again for the tasty kine uploads. I am still blown away by the 7-9-77 Asbury Park jam. That "Harder They Come" is cookin' on high.......=•)) Peace....

[@atticusfinch5410]

Lysergically there in that time and space. Thanks for upping this Voodoonola. Love all of them; this one was special. What a nite.

[@atticusfinch5410]

and bingo!! that shot of Jer at 56:00 smiling gloriously tells me all that I needed to remember. A great nite.

[@davidcurtis7547]

Man you are so right . Jerry is feeding the love to Robert Hunter . What a team

[@KenOatridge]

I worshiped this as a cassette tape for 40 years now and finally found it. Fucking sneaky awesome

[@LudiCrust.]

It’s crazy the amount of amazing, if not legendary, concerts that took place in such a terrible dark damp dump.

[@augustwest5273]

Also I’ve been loving Kahn much more while going down A rabbit hole of 76 jgb and the Keystones, the last 2 months. Every show special in it’s own way.

[@johnbirkner7629]

The good ole Capitol. That was our “Home Field”. These shows were some of the best!

[@gregggilmore7473]

Unfortunately that was the year Dad died,but I just turned 66 & that show blew me away, great place capital theater. Hard to believe watching video now,Amazing!.

[@djresq5124]

Thanks for opening the vault. These nuggets are supreme,

[@NBTBOB]

Jerry was the best at delivering these songs Mission In The Rain, Stella Blue, Broke Down Palace the list is long. No one got away with it like Jerry!

[@maine420247]

"Some folks would be happy, just to have one dream come true" Voodoonola you have made one of my dreams come true!! Never thought I'd be able to see & share these Videos!!! You are a kind soul!!! Thank You.... 9:49 Wow!!!!

[@Karmakatt6]

I love the fact that Jerry doesn't fight for headroom.. nor others or himself.. he truly represents "The snake that eats its tail..." as he so eloquently put it at the Playboy Mansion in '69.

[@franklee6301]

Read your comment ad he sang it.

[@anthonypapandrea6334]

This band arrangement is my absolute favorite! The steady drumwork of John D. and the gripping tones of Ollie Alers! Plus Garcia seemed soulfully relaxed in this era. Simple sweet song catalog, somes songs we would never hear again in later versions of JGB

[@charliejervis2747]

I just happen to notice that this show is on my 32nd birthday. Happy birthday 🎈

[@averycordrick8789]

A really great guitar player on a badass guitar

[@billphipps453]

so cool to see Jer. being the guitarist for robert.. i was so lucky to see a few of those hunter extravaganzers in the early 80s up in seattle... they were very magical experiences...

[@ReedRosson1987]

Jerry always brought the fuckin house down at the Capitol Theatre.

[@zmanatl]

Have had this cassette forever. Getting to see the video with such good quality is a real treat!

[@landonmccalmon7121]

The sound quality and video quality are just out of this world, as well as the band's performance on this tour. Read up on the drummer, Johnny D's, history, if you can find it. Interesting tale. The kid learned to play drums just hanging out in Mickey's barn. He did not live long past these shows.

[@williammcdonough2291]

I can't find a thing about him online.

[@orlando1362]

Johnny died in an auto accident shortly after his last JGB show in March 1980.

[@zachhayes702]

Love watching his face when he’s playing

[@lgindoffchannel]

Keep 'em coming, this is great and the world should see how great the JGB was, especially in the Winter of 1980, 35 years ago. Thanks Voodoo!

[@jamescnix]

MITR is RH/JG's best effort ever,......... I love you both, I love you Robert Hunter!!!!!!

[@pjbscript]

Johnny D .... what a fantastic drummer he would have grown into

[@dhruvjuneja1288]

simply the best mission in the rain ever performed

[@Greg-go8ep]

stellar performance no doubt, but you might be better of saying "your personal favorite". ranking art is too subjective....beauty is in the eyes of the beholder after all. cheers.

[@dhruvjuneja1288]

@@Greg-go8ep true, that’s the thing with jerry and the dead, every phase of life you find a version which completely knocks you off all over again and you’re left in utter awe, as if you heard it for the first time. I guess that’s the magic of the dead and jerry if nothing less than a prophet with a guitar

[@sushirob1972]

This one is an absolute gem, but kzbin.info/www/bejne/baK0qGaEmq6Wms0&ab_channel=JerryGarcia-Topic is hard to top.

[@drogba4evah672]

Priceless video from an amazing period of the JGB. This drummer really laid down a great groove. So sad that he passed away so young. RIP. (Thanks for the upload.)

[@nataliezementbeisser1492]

Amazing Mission in the Rain. Just amazing! WOW !!!

[@OfAngels444]

This show brought me many an amazing trip

[@joefelice5062]

Wore these tapes out in the late 80s while on tour... along with the Calderone shows.

[@christinezeoligratefulchef8672]

Yes the Calderone

[@johnbrown1851]

Some nice work by Ozzie Ahlers! My first time hearing him..... what a treat 😺

[@bido8176]

He rips!

[@sushirob1972]

He is so darn good! Give this one a listen. Especially the Positively 4th Street. Ozzie tears it up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4m5qYimg5tna9E&ab_channel=ElaineOliveira

[@johnbrown1851]

"recall the days that still are to come" .... thank you Robert Hunter❤️

[@KevinDWeaver]

I was in Denver and lucky enough to see the Weir and Bros sound check this month. CRAZY FINGERS practice for 30 minutes... Some sing blue... And some shine true my brother.

[@doormasterbryan]

Greatest Mision ever,

[@mikesbikevideos]

I never knew there was video floating around of this show....awesome!

[@ReedRosson1987]

same here!

[@LittleRedKing]

What a joyful experience. Thanks.

[@JusticeAlways]

I am just amazed how Jerry memorized the lyrics to hundreds of songs...and toured constantly!

[@ReedRosson1987]

Oh my god thanks so much i been searching this for years! I love how jerry got this fiercer style of playing in 1980 - almost like he was influenced by punk rock or something but better anyway i fucking love it

[@Jason5000]

Gawd Damn! That Mission in the Rain! Come again?

[@Damaraja]

I come back to it again and again. It’s all in there. ✌️

[@barbaramcdonough1155]

Ozzie kills it. Superb!!

[@naomiradtke7433]

Thanks, Brother Jerry

[@peacefulmatthew]

Garcia’s face, solo: nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

[@Acolis]

[@mauricecybervangelist9203]

This fkn place rocked. I spent more time at the Capitol as a teen than in school. There is a show I can't find made mention of anywhere. It was billed as Sounds of San Francisco and was filmed by MTV. It was Greg Kihn Band warming up for Bob Weir Band. It was a General Admission show.

[@Karmakatt6]

Coolness Brother!!

[@christinezeoligratefulchef8672]

Don’t forget Jorma and Jack…he left bc people were yelling hot fucki g Tuna

[@pattyscheffler9369]

Great picking .......

[@landonmccalmon7121]

Hard to believe it has been 34 years since this footage was captured. The Dead played for 30, and it seemed like it would never end. Time is flying.

[@Voodoonola2]

You're right. Thanks for making me look at it in a different way.

[@dawnfowler6911]

Absolutely!! I'm a second generation Deadhead.. Born in 1971 and followed since 86.......Still catching when I can.. Furthur last Year in AC... Ratdog at the Lincoln Theater shows 2 months ago... Hoping to get to Vibes this Year.. Mickey and Billy are playing with Disco Biscuits and We may See a Dead play as well

41 years. 😥

[@JerryGarciaPOBox]

@@dawnfowler6911 heartbroken I just stopped in 95. Saw 1-2 festivals but mostly to be around like minded folk during a difficult time. Then just gave up. Mistake but no point dwelling.

Voodoonola2, you inspire by posting these dripping morsels of gooey greatness - thank you for your time

[@DennisCampbell777]

Oh Jerry. You made us love you so much. Like the cool crook. Your smile so bright Your music like honey Long live your sacred gifts that where acts of love left as seeds These seeds sewn in our hearts will be expressed in love and service to others “Never had such a good time “ {🥕🐇}:=} The Rabbit Man

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

D amn!!! Not one of the compositions by ROBERT HUNTER and JERRY GARCIA should be locked away in a 'vault', exaggeration for emphasis, but all their tunes - and by their own accord - should be FREELY AVAILABLE to EVery body!!! Last night a friend and I drove to and around the State Park and a jam was playin' and it was SO GOOD, it had grandeur and it was Rockin' !!! Grab some of those reel to reels. They're pure gold. It's like wearing a fine diamond, you never want to take it off! RIP TO ALL THE MASTERS OF THIS SCENE WHOSE PASSING WAS TOO EARLY IN THEIR LIVES AND IN OUR LIVES 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
