Weir, Hornsby, and Marsalis Perform "Standing on the Moon" at Gathering of the Vibes 2012

Weir, Hornsby, and Marsalis perform "Standing on the Moon" on the Main Stage at Gathering of the Vibes Music and Art Festival 2012, held at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

How am I just now hearing this ? 11 years ago I was off the rez and lost my wife a couple years before but how I missed this trio tells me how far gone I was ❤

[@ryanduda3179]

I seen Bob Weir do this on 6/15/23 in Philly with my father and roommate from rehab. I teared up bc I came so far…a year ago I was supposed to go and got arrested after an overdose…I was just so grateful and at peace…even for a little bit…

[@michaelpaquette4245]

Does Hornsby seem choked up while singing this song I think he was thinking of Jerry and it got to him deeply just as it does me every time every version I still cry the song is musical beauty

[@Greg-go8ep]

I think his lyrics sheet blew away and he didn't remember the words.....still the bass and drums are killer

[@gordondavenport4019]

Hornsby was a great fan of the Dead. I think he knew he was in Jerry’s shoes at that time. A beautiful song by TGD, reverently done by Bruce even knowing he was falling somewhat short. His life will never lose this godly moment.

[@gordondavenport4019]

It’s a grace for us all. The crowd is prayerful.

[@gordondavenport4019]

Bruce did the intro presentation at the Hall of Fame induction of TGD. He was close to losing his composure. A sincere man.

[@atamagashock]

Saw Bruce and Trey at cones a time in 2005, do this and he absolutely brought the emotion that night

[@tmirkin]

This is so beautiful that words simply cannot do it justice.

[@GJW2]

This ballad is one of my favorites from Hornsby!! Phenomenal musicianship at it's finest !!

[@jimbailey1667]

Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter yes it’s very special…

[@stephengriffin7870]

This is my go to song , Miss my father every minute of every day

[@scotmoser8716]

It certainly brings back Memories. Last weekend was 43 years since Englishtown. Easy to carry this band through our lifetime!

[@nemesisprime2993]

Respect to Bruce....he is a legend.

[@marksirois3495]

Can't replace this Era or these musicians. He came through Austin a few years back. Will never forget this artist and the Range. Listen to everything they have recorded. Please.

[@brendans8141]

I think I was there it all rolls into one melts into a dream I dreamed one day long ago

[@joeygold24]

chills. please come back someday vibes

[@energyquicksand]

Hard to pick a Dead favorite but this gem would have to make the finals.

[@tomcollins7341]

energyquicksand well jerry was always a fan of peggy'o, so according to him its his favorite

[@setboy1]

When did he say that?

[@brendans8141]

Tom collins I’ve heard him say row jimmy as his favorite to play

[@scotmoser8716]

Hard to pick out just one Garcia?Hunter song. They worked well together.

[@nicolasaguilar1258]

@@brendans8141 I heard the same, Tom Collins

[@SueLeeNewman]

I think Ive watched every film clip on you tube/ Nice to see your face in this one Bruce.

[@jaruel37]

Love how half way through Hornsby has this, Let's go guy's look but by the end the pure enjoyment of knowing they knocked it out of the park came across his face.

[@Siriussegler1]

Bruce schön. Gefällt mir. Zurück in die alte Freiheit. Danke vielmal :)

[@merryjane684]

Marsalis, for the win!!!!

[@nicktolan1809]

Sonny Emory is a fantastic drummer!

[@alborrelli1604]

Wow this is fantastic love bruce!!!

[@lapulapui]

Standing on the moon With nothing else to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you Hunter is too cool

[@persluchtboy]

Standing on the Moon Grateful Dead Standing on the moon I got no cobweb on my shoe Standing on the moon I'm feeling so alone and blue I see the gulf of Mexico As tiny as a tear The coast of California Must be somewhere over here, over here Standing on the moon I see the battle rage below Standing on the moon I see the soldiers come and go There's a metal flag beside me Someone planted long ago Old glory standing stiffly Crimson, white and indigo, indigo I see all of southeast Asia I can see El Salvador I hear the cries of children And the other songs of war It's like a mighty melody That rings down from the sky Standing here upon the moon I watch it all roll by, all roll by Standing on the moon With nothing else to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you Standing on the moon I see…

[@michaelbuckland2819]

I was at this show. Beautiful version. I just hit the mail order jackpot. So I hope to hear bruce sing this one for jerry in Chicago.

[@summerwilliams6941]

Michael Buckland that Standing On The Moon in Chicago broke my #%^*ing heart. The whole weekend took my heart and soul, broke them into a million pieces and put them back together more tenderly and beautifully that ever before.

[@vmeglis70]

Listen, I'm not one to say anything negative about ANY former member of the Grateful Dead, but, in only my opinion, this was absolutely horrible, to the point of being disrespectful to The Silvered Haired Angel and Mr. Hunter...let me leave out the fact that he left out entire lines of the song, and that he forgot the words twice, his pitch was absolutely atrocious!...he should stick to the keys...this is one of my top three Jerry ballads, and he destroyed this beautiful song...miss Jerry and Brent...and now sadly Robert, every day!..." Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there "...much love and good health to all my Dead Family...GD 4life!..✌💀💨🎸🍄🎙🇺🇸🕯🎶

[@squigglefunk8283]

bring back the vibes baby

[@douglaschristmann7053]

Saw the Dead's first performance of If I Had The World To Give at Red Rocks Aug '78 and instantly knew it was a Garcia/Hunter classic for all time. This song is even better! What surprises me now is that it never took its rightful place in the song rotation until the 90's. I always thought they would both fit well in the Wharf Rat slot.

[@randypiquette8524]

Great song ...great performers!!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@joshuabyron4893]

Beautiful.

Thank you:)

Seeing Oteil singing the words to himself, no mic, he just loves the song....

that drummer and bassist make it right!

[@gordondavenport4019]

Bruce was so close to TGD. I’m sure the spirit was with him . He was humble.

[@budgibson185]

❤

[@ryansilver1210]

It paints a picture. .. the song.

[@ryanblaze932]

Reminds me of deer Creek 94

[@TonyTheMedMan]

Nice!

[@manygybes7336]

around 3:40 Bruce starts to forget the lyrics... just like Jerry used to haha

[@LAGOON118]

The GOOG OLD days!

[@stephenlivesey4398]

why is Bruce not as big a star as he should so very obviously be I just don't get it ? the man is a god .

[@dollarrecordswithjosh795]

Bruce IS a huge star and talent. It's just that he turned his back on the top 40 era of 1986's "The Way it Is" to become a more well rounded musician. Don't be fooled - he is a god - just on a smaller scale.

[@Lat41]

Stephen Livesey Agreed. But my love for his music and songwriting is pure. And his fans are hard core.

[@Deadbuck73]

I had the privilege of meeting him and let me tell you he is awesome!

[@Lat41]

Deadbuck73 That’s great Deadbuck. He is a musical hero for me, no doubt. Seems like a really good guy. His lyrics indicate he has a lot of empathy for others.

[@ulihatek2889]

Ich habe es genau gesehen, Jerry hat gelächelt.

[@grin64]

I'd rather be with you. Be with you.

[@xxcatfishjohnnyxx]

SotM gets me every fucking time.

[@mapiasal]

drummer is so badass

[@bacavujaklija]

Who's drummer Omar Hakim maybe

[@gruvenit]

yeah, so he messed up a little bit, how many times has jerry?

[@fluffhead7105]

Who are the other players in the band that drummer is awesome

[@kenichristophersen6363]

Sonny Emery 😉

[@dollarrecordswithjosh795]

This song is so achingly beautiful and is why bands like Phish will never, ever even come close to being the equals of the Grateful Dead. They simply don't have the same songwriting ability.

[@erichale8570]

Whether you like it or not people will like whatever artist they like. It's not a competition. People like you are why a lot of people are apprehensive about respecting your community.

[@melonhead49]

Josh Don

[@cjbotts]

Same guy writes all phish’s songs I believe. A lot of them are totally and absolutely ridiculous and just basic outlines for them to jam out of. Which is fine, musically they’re a phenomenal band. Just not much depth in my humble opinion.

[@iamdanbones]

Robert Hunter wrote this and MANY of the songs people attribute to Grateful Dead. I guess he was "their" song writer. Robert Hunter, the lyricist of the century?

[@DavidPeirce]

Certainly on a short list with Bob Dylan and a few others.

[@RebelScumPvP]

[@Siriussegler1]

Loose music. Does sometimes good. And the friendly laugh. Also your band is more than good. Thanks Bruce and your band.

[@philtaylor2387]

Hard to read some of the disdain for Bruce. He's an amazing musician and better person who jerry loved

[@YouLikePhishSticks]

I was there! I remember a dude went full nude during this day set

[@andrewt3417]

Yup, that was a common occurrence at Gathering of the Vibes. I truly miss that festival.

[@stevensilz-carson1793]

Is that what 'made the show' for you?

[@alanriley9621]

Didn't Bruce write this song?

[@charlie.something]

JERRY FOREVER AND ONLY

[@michaelbuckland2819]

This would be a top notch version of this beautiful jerry ballad but Bruce has to fuck up the most important line. Jerry must have smiled.

[@Theshadow38ish]

knuckle head camera guy cut the bass player out most of the time.. How lame is that?

[@denzelepolito1]

Bruce with a Bobby moment, forgetting the lyrics lol

[@karaweiss366]

Bobby is so old!! 😣

[@johnm3152]

kara weiss Yeah, but he keeps on ticking !! Love you Bobby, keep on truckin'......and please turn yourself up in the mix & maybe a little audible slide in the future.

Shit and age happen.

He's older today in 2020 and still jammin ... love it !!

Hey so called artists of today give a listen

[@alfredmcdusseldorf6228]

had a hard time hearing the song . . . . over Bruce's haircut

[@markk2254]

This is a terrible cover. Don't butcher a song if you don't know the lyrics or how to perform it properly.

[@foot9943]

Great job Bruce, definitley Dead Family Jerry loved!

Ģo listen to studio versions then
