Playing this for my mom on her phone while she's fading away on hospice care, she told me she wished she could go to one more show. Like the poem says " When I die and they bury me dead, put some headphones on my head, keep on playing that Grateful Dead" I love you Mom
I hope my children have those same memories of Me and Wife... Blessings upon you. The music will live forever. Mexico just proved that to us two weeks ago. Our 25th wedding anniversary was celebrated with the best soundtrack ever. Missing Jerry. Loving John. Grateful for Bobby.
May God Bless & Comfort You & Your Mother!! My Mother is 89 and has dementia. But in the last year or so I've realized The Grateful Dead have been playing in the background All My Life!! She's not doing well- I'm giving her meds to her & cooking to try n get her to eat. Its a very sad time! But The Grateful Dead gives me doo much comfort!! I Feel Yu!! Just remember we all have that day coming. I'm soo glad you have taken time to be with her & respect her!! You Will Be Rewarded!! God Bless!! 1 Love
Kathy Hamilton I’m so sorry about your mom I lost my mom & oldest brother to cancer cigarettes killed them 3 days apart ,my mom came to me in a dream & told me she couldnt get into heaven because my brother was waiting to go to the land of the Vikings ,vahala so I had to tell him he had to go with mom 1 st to get there so go with mom u r dead do what I say ,so I guess he did the dream was over & I saw my mom one time standing there by my bed ,that was that,they can stay earth bound if they r to scared to go to the lite my dad saw it & was not a believer ,I changed his mind after he asked me what that beautiful lite was for u I said to him it’s for u ,he saw his father & son at the foot of his bed ,I told my brother get everyone out dads going & cant with us holding on so he closed the door 10 minutes later he was gone ,it seems like I’m the only one who sees this god has his chosen people & angels ,I know I’m one ,what do u feel ? Gods in us all I believe the aliens r the angels they have been looking out for us since the beginning,I believe the goverment had to admit it now that the retired pilots r out they r talking
I'm 80 now, prostate cancer, heart problems, I miss my precious little dog, and I miss Jerry so much. Thank you, JPK, for the introduction. They're with God. I hope to be there with them when my time runs out. Thank you for the love.
He man... stay safe.... use the music for therapy and comfort...jus knowing how it used to be... the fun, the magic. The scene of all those shows...good luck rolls with you!!@ remember that..🌈🌾🌈
Bobby Baby!! Hang in there brother! There’s plenty of time to kick the bucket. For now , put on some dead , crank up the volume and remember there’s a lot of us enjoying the same music. We’ re with you in spirit!!!
I kicked IT just days after Jerrys passing.This version is why mostly.Been clean just about 20 years now and realizing all that I've missed during those years.Thank you Jerry Garcia! A special kind of love!
Yer right John Lampman! I saw Jerry and the boys play this song in Hamilton,Ontario in 1990. Cannot believe he's been gone 22 yrs now. There's 20,000 deadheads wandering around aimlessly looking for another Captain Tripps that'll never be again!
Big facts brother ! I have always shared the same sentiments about this particular So Many Roads. It is also the only one worth listening to once you’ve heard it there is no going back to the other times it was sang. This is the one and only.
My mom died last night and this is the first time I've cried. I listen to this song because I knew it would pull the tears out of me. I hope she meets Jerry in heaven. Rip mom
Tony, I'm so sorry you lost your mom, man. That's absolutely heartbreaking. Music, along with time, will heal all wounds and get you back on that next road. We don't know each other, but I love you, and I wish you all the best. Hang in there, my old buddy.
I cry every time I put this on I wish I was a little older in Pittsburgh 95 I would have hit my knees an had the most spiritual experience of my whole life during the rain. But this I think I would have gone to my maker an been ok with that mom don't you cry wifee Iove you it's been real hard but we are all in this together here or there.
It is the most painfully sincere, beautiful, and emotional version of this song ever. He knew it wasn't going to last. We knew it, too. The Black Muddy River encore is just as poignant and heartwrenching. Thank you Jerry. You didn't have to do it for as long as you did. You were thinking about everyone but yourself.
Jerry could make me cry with this song when he wasn't dying and I wasn't old. He knew, I didn't. Now, I do, too. Rest easy, old man. We're right behind you.
The only time I met Jerry, I told him I was coming to the show the next night. "I hope it's a good one!", I said. "So do I", he replied, laughing. Such humility!
This has been on RUclips for almost 10 years and people are still commenting on it. As long as it stays posted, people will continue to come here, listen and leave their thoughts and feelings for others to connect with. This only shows what this band meant to those who understood.
Even in his last days when his body was already half dead he'd still reach all the notes, sing with the voice of an Angel, and play his guitar like a flowing River, what a great musician Jerry Garcia was.
Hullo Eva. He was much more than a musician and we were all lucky to have shared a part, however slight, of his wonderful, sad, journey. Peace to you and yours during these dark days from North Yorkshire. X
Everybody that's a Jerry Garcia fan knows August is Jerry month! It's now August 31st and we will continue celebrating the life of the legendary Jerry Garcia as we thank him for sharing all of his God given talents with all of us who recognized how truly remarkable he really was!!! I pray Jerry is resting peacefully. ♥️
Everyone's saying how rough Jerry looked, and it's true . But he made this beautiful music because of who he was and he got high because of who he was and at the end he didn't want to stop or couldn't stop because of who he was . Being a human being is a package deal. Listen to his interviews , he knew he was living fast. I'm sure he knew he wouldn't live to a ripe old age and he lived more in 53 years than most people would in 53 life times . We are so lucky that almost all of his music has been preserved for us . I had my first intense spiritual experience at a Dead show and I met a lot of wonderful people on tour . Met the mother of my children at a show even though we are from different countries . My boys wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Jerry and the Dead . Love you and miss you Jerry .
Clayton Wheatley. How big a star was Jerry in the US ? Was he as popular/ well known as, say, Hendrix or Joplin ? Can I ask how does in rank the guitar world ? Alongside Clapton or Richard Thompson ? We're his live performances inconsistent? I've watched a good few videos and I'm getting that impression.
Gotta agree well said. After being married to an alcoholic it gets a little more personal. Wonderful people in the grip of something bigger than them but like you say it's part of what makes them what they are too...
A tear comes to my eye for someone who tried to do the right thing in the end. I miss the sweet notes he continued to play so effortlessly even when he was falling apart inside. His legacy lives on forever!
This seems to be the quintessential autobiographical Dead song. It just seems to encompass the whole damn thing. I'm very happy I was able to be a part of the whole damn thing.
Still celebrating the life of the legendary Jerry Garcia today , August 9th,2023.Jerry was an extordinary talent and yet his sweet sole remained humble,kind and respectful!!! Thank you for sharing all your God given talents ,you were blessed with so many!!! I pray you are resting peacefully!!!
Yeah this is Jerry's swan song so be it...an inspiration to a generation and an era that will never be replicated...30 years later still love this man more than ever😊
All these years later I think Jerry (who always super positive) is really singing about himself, as a cry for help. It makes sad the older I get. The monster he created in the end couldn't be controlled and destroyed him. There will never be another Jerry Garcia.
I have lost my hearing in one ear,lost part of my colon,had more surgeries than 5 people should have to have. I am old now and broken. There are so many roads in this life and each one test us. Jerry was a great Inspiration until his death. He still Inspires us but from the vaults of music he played in his life. Thank you Jerry and what a long stramge trip it was.
To those of us that love Jerry, it is particularly difficult to watch this. Beautiful song and so prophetic. And a month later TO THE DAY Jerry would be gone. May the music and spirit of Jerry Garcia live on through all eternity.
I remember this day he was having such a hard time this night ... It was hard to watch but the love we had for him at soldier Field was strong 💙 miss ya Jerry !
My wife, soulmate, and best friend of 10 years suddenly passed 3/12/19...somehow I stumbled across this video...and she is with me once again... ...to ease my soul... Thank you
I was at this show. When the show ended and everything was being put away, it felt like this giant magical dragon was being put back into a tiny box and closed. It was palpable.
At the time I got my tickets last minute somehow, it was magical that some were released last minute…meant to be. My family had a huge reunion that weekend and I had to tell them I couldn’t come cuz I was going to a Dead show (only deadhead in the family). I told them at the time it was the last shows of the Grateful Dead…I knew somehow and got the miracle tickets from the universe. Shocked my cousins later when that is what came to pass. I have so much love and gratitude for Jerry and all the Dead.
Boy I still miss that man so so much. It gives me chills I was actually at this show. Was lucky enough to travel for many years and shows. He was never the same once Brent died. I miss the days and the boys. God Bless!!
It is Aug 9, 2022 and I remember this day back in '95 like it was yesterday. Believe it or not, it still sting. Thank you for you, Jerry, for your words, your music, and the memories. May you continue to rest in peace.
So many roads I was sitting with Bill back stage Jerry was 15 feet away signing a few autographs he said to Me do you want one I said no I would get one again and he's said yes you will so many roads that was last time I saw him up close Lord I've been walking down this road so many roads to ease my soul
Too this day when I hear or see this song played it hurts, it makes me happy, it makes feel, it makes me sad , but most of all it makes me remember. Remember that night sitting off side stage nearly crying during this song. I remember my first show & the GD firstv in that same staduim. I remember all the beautiful kind brothers & sisters I met or already knew. Yet most of all I remember Jerry & the light he & the boys brought me & then the love & finally how much I miss the fat man. Love & miss ya Jerry & thank you Bobby Phil Billy Mickey Brent/Bruce /Vince.
+Dave Frank What an incredible way to put it. Aside from Dylan's immortal epitaph to Garcia, I think this is the finest farewell statement to Garcia I've ever read.
Jerry's beautiful journey here left us exactly 1 month after this concert. August 9,1995. Look into his face and see the pain pouring out of his soul, still trying to heal us and love us through. To his end with all that he had. soul to soul, my friend, I miss you
A month later he met his maker. This literally brings a tear to my eye. He looked so tired and yet his guitar was crisp. SO MANY ROADS TO EASE HIS SOUL.
This performance makes me cry every time. Heart wrenching. Gut wrenching. Mind wrenching. Every kind of wrenching. RIP Jerry Garcia. You will always be loved.
Son to see jerry live is was and will forever be the greatest joy of my life an honest brilliant cool guy that had millions hanging on every word every note and still today and forever what a life what a legacy....
I picked up my things and went outside A man that I loved up and died I couldn't believe that after all of this time I never knew the man but he was a good friend of mine So long, i'll see you down that long dark river Floating on that lining in the sky I'm lucky, lucky enough to have heard you play your song So long, Jerry, so long Always be together Rolling down the track Always and forever Never lookin' back I got my guitar and went to the river Saw alot of people just dancin' around I took off my shirt and jumped in the water You always flew so high, now you've finally left the ground So long, i'll see you down that long dark river Floating on that lining in the sky I'm lucky, lucky enough to have heard you sing your song So long, Jerry, so long So long, Jerry, so long Ween!
27 years later. I was born the day this was played. I recently found this song and it really sums up my life right now.. changing careers, moving.. again.. choosing things that are making me happier.. so many roads. Jerry’s soul is heartbreaking. Can’t help but sit and reflect on how we got here…
This is beautiful. I forgot what day it was and just happened to put this on at work tonight and cried behind the bar. This got shared to reddit and I’m reminded of how small we really are and was humbled to realize that I spontaneously put this on and got brought back to it a few hours later. This is on repeat for me today now. I was born 27 years ago right before this last tour started and it is beautiful to see how it all unfolded. Much love and happy birthday to ya!
Here for Robert tonight too. Seeing the other comments today, I'm glad we can all find somewhere to share our grief at his passing and our joy at the music that he left for us. RIP Hunter.
I was there, 30th row, ENTRANCED! Beautiful. Tragic. Different. Outside the stadium was a riot-filled atmosphere. Cops on horses crackn' skulls. Heads. Somehow I knew that '85-'95 phase was over. The stare of Jer was distant and elsewhere. The band knew it. The crowd was mostly oblivious, caught in the drugged-fueled distraction like an EDM rave is to Ecstasy. I could only hope the crowds that violated Shakedown on that tour would wise-up but the band knew it was outta control. The rest we know. Very happy to see the iterations reassemble, reinterpret and reclaim the peace and harmony of those early experiences that embraced my young spirit to realize a larger dimension that is our universal connection. Forever Grateful.
Sadly, after seeing them for 25 years, I felt the same about Jerry's performance at the last one I attended at Shoreline in Mtn View Calif the week before this one. He seemed like a skeleton of his former self. Something felt wrong. From the time he first started doing Standing on the Moon, I felt like he was telling us Goodbye.
The last show. A show that wasn't really all that sharp. And then.....Jerry stepped in and saved it all. I am so fortunate to have lived during the time of Jerry Garcia and had the opportunity to see the Grateful Dead play.
Millions of years and we were lucky enough, by some strange chance, to exist at the same time as all of these guys. Pretty amazing. Thanks for quite literally everything fellas.
Thank you mr. Garcia for all those moments I had the privilege to listen to sweet melodies and harmonies. Your singing still calms my soul. Your voice makes me feel like I belong in this world. All blessings from my heart to you sir. I shall never forget the love that came from your instruments and your mouth and your soul. May you rest in peace
love how Bob, Phil, Bill and Mickey just hung in there with Jerry supporting him throughout the song as he worked he way through it. They didn't push him at all, they were patient and followed his lead.
Every year on this day I force myself to listen to this...I miss Jerry, sure, but the older I get I think what I miss more is the times I had back then..in my 20s..summer tours..biggest worry was tickets and gas money..man to go back just for a short while........
When all the kids get older and wiser they will come to understand whats being said now and what has been said by Jerry and the dead.Understanding truth/art/music requires a "perspective" much of the time.....Took me a while to get to where I could see....Now I have this great gift..RIP Jerry.
Very true. My first and last show was at Giants stadium (9/2/78 and 6/19/95) and that last show I was walking away and little did I know... Those 17 or so years of seeing the Dead whenever I could were such a precious time in my life, I knew during that time that someday they would be gone, and I look back now that they are, and miss those amazing fun absolutely priceless times beyond any words. Its strange how time, is so permanent when its passed by, yet so taken for granted before it does. Anyway in those amazing tones and rhythms, and Hunters timeless lyrics I still to this day hear new light shining through.
He checked into rehab after this and died a week later and it makes me so sad. He wasn't perfect, but he knew what he had to do. Give music to those who need to feel and heal, for he didn't know how to heal himself. Thank you Jerry
What a soulful performance by Jerry Garcia at the end of his life. When I joined the Army at age 18 I hadn't listen to any music of the Grateful Dead before. While in basic training one of my Army buddies was telling me everyday about the Greatful Dead, this awesome band he loved and about how great Jerry Garcia was. Then a few days later while we were sitting next to each other in the mess hall eating breakfast and hearing the radio overhead the news came on that Jerry had died. Thanks to that old Army buddy of mine for introducing me to the Grateful Dead, one of my favorite bands of all time now and a great source of inspiration in my life. I hope he is doing well these days, 25 years later!
Now these guys were a fucking band. Through ups and downs, drugs, decadence and decades they sure kicked a lot of ass and blew a whole lot of minds. Grateful Dead, Forever ❤️🌞🙏🏼📿🐚🙏🏼🌱🍄
I’m sorry we pushed you so hard Jer. I’m sorry you had to play 80 shows a year. I’m forever Grateful for the music you put on this Earth, and I hope that if there is an afterlife, you’re standing on the moon.
I believe he passed at 53 which is my age now. He seemed to cram 100 years of musical experience in his lifetime. Whatever he did to shorten his life, he really gave so much life to so many during his own. They were the life of the party for 30 years, and maybe that was a harder gig than any of us could really imagine.
Best ride of this Life… gave us all..and more, please let us be thankful to have been part of this Journey and Brotherhood. Never felt any more closeness and consciousness with others as this Voyage with Jerry and The GD Family. 🙏🏼✌️😎What a ride.. What a Blessing. So Many Roads…
This concert took place almost two weeks before I was born on the 21st. I think it’s a happy thought to know that I was in the world with Jerry Garcia at least for a little while. I sure wish I got to experience them growing up, but thank God for the internet!
I love this tune and always listen to it when I'm feeling down about losing my youngest of 2 children, and only my son in a car wreck on Nov. 5, 2012, being "Forever 19" He would have been 29 in early June of 2022 if he wasn't called home in 2012! I started taking him to concerts when he was 9 years old starting with "The Dead Tour in 2003, ABB March tours in NYC, and Allgood Festivals, etc., etc! After he traveled "Onward and Upward" I listened to his iPod which was 80% full of GD, ABB, NRPS, JGB, FEAT, G'ovt Mule, Pink MULE, DSO, etc. We were not just father and son, we were best friends and I'm thankful for the time we shared here on this Blue Sphere in space for 19 years! "So many roads to soothe my soul" is still a work-in-progress for me over the last decade, and I know I will never get over it until we all meet again a little further down the road! Our last words were " I love you and have a good day!" his reply was, "I love you too Dad and I'll see you later!" I'm Grateful those were our last words!
Jerry’s last song he gave to us you can hear his soul at the end trying to teach us “So many roads I know, All I want is one to take me home, From the high road to the low.” Amazing spiritual song makes me cry every time.
Yeah especially when he says ain't that a shame and give you a minute to think about so many roads. And so many roads tease my soul! Last words I got to hear him say,to this day he's right as rain!
Still brings a tear. I was section A at soldier field. Remember thinking there was something different when Jerry sang this. He didn't look good at all.
Honestly I’m in tears of love and awe from what I just heard the isolated bass is on a level as a gift from God through the wonderful man that is Phil Lesh. Thank you so much for this it’s a civilization’s treasure
I cant hardly watch this even tho it fills my soul with joy. Lost my dad a few mos ago to a accidental overdose, he lived his life much like Jerry. Him and my father favored one another so much in the later years, even mannerisms. They both had such a calming cool presence, ppl loved my father, as we all loved Jerry. So hard to watch right now but I know is good for the soul, praying for healing. Both gone too soon. RIP Jerry RIP Papa
Thank You for your Service, The Grateful Dead has probably saved my life more than once in my life, Love the Dead so much I got a red , white and blue Steal your Face on my arm, never heard a bad Dead song ever , peace ✌️ and positive vibrations for y'all tonight, Jah bless us and protect us all Amen 💖🙏🙌 ONELOVE is an ACTION
I always cry along with this tune. I lived my life on the road for way too many years. But I’m now 70 plus years and still listening and always learning. Last ride I got from hitching was outside of OK town with a dude carrying nitro, lightning all around us, daylite after each strike and the whole country was lit up. 150 miles later he dropped me off in Fort Worth. That was my last ride .
Just came to say that a few days ago I lost my best friend and companion in my adult life, she was 14 and an angel...her name was Kila and with a broken heart I had to put her down due to old age and an injury. My sweet angel this is the song I sang to you along the way and I cannot wait to have you by my side again. In loving memory of my little doggy, my angel. I will miss you and if you cant get into heaven I dont wanna be there either. Sorry guys, this is the song that will always remind me of her. *tears* heh. Love you Jerry
Jerry looks so tired. He gave us all the best of himself. Soo many years, soo many memories. I can't help but cry everytime i hear this and see him, he looks like he was at peace and just needed to rest. Until we meet again, i hold your music forever in my heart. ♡
Yup. He really looks sad and at the very end here...still - I love hearing Jerry's frail attempts...though his solos could still be fiery and inspired.
Lost a brother today. Dementia a long and hard road. This and black muddy river have been playing for him. Thanks Jerry. John I will miss you. See you in the light someday. Say hi to mom for me.....your soul is at ease.
Sorry for your loss. Your brother is free from the broken down palace that is our mortal body and is in a better place. Dementia is from the pit of hell.
Amen brother in death we are all united it comes for us all. Someday we all get to go to that big party in the sky were Jerry is playing to welcome us all home ⚡️💀🌈❤️
I was at this show. So sad about what happened afterwards. Nobody knew this would be Jerry's last show. Thanks for posting, sharing, and bringing back some good memories.
Chills and tears is right, Jerry was building, making, softly hammering his bridge between Earth, body, soul, spirit, life, eternity and peace, very touching, Jerry puts that special feeling in our hearts, what a simple man, what a powerful man Jerry sings in this concert for the last time and clearly feels the spiritual voyage near, RIP our great man Jerry Garcia!
Crazy to think that one month later he would be gone 🎼🎤🎸⚡️💀 Every time that I watch this I can’t help but think he knew it was over. He sang his heart out on this. And the solos were beautiful yet sad. I was at this show and I don’t remember thinking at the time that this was a great version of this song. It was just normal to me. Not a standout. I’d heard it countless times on the tape I had of this show. And still it was just a regular version. However when I first discovered the video on RUclips of it, I was blown away. Definitely my favorite version. Thanks for putting it up. ✌️❤️⚡️💀🎸
He was saying goodbye. Like on some level he knew. Not his greatest guitar virtuosity, but so much heart and soul in the vocals. Thank you for sharing this.
24yrs ago today we lost one of the best guitarist in the world, I can’t believe that’s it been 24yrs already. “ Such a long long time be gone, but a short time to get there.” Love ya Jerry always will. “There’s nothing left to do but smile smile smile.” ❤️⚡️🎸🐢🌹💀⚡️
Was on the road with the boys touring for 10 years watching the boys bring such beautiful music and memories to all that would listen. Was at the last show and you just knew it in your heart as I think did he that this was the end of a wonderful long strange trip that he took us all on Thanks for all the roads we all traveled to see you night after night. Wouldn’t change it for nothing brother. Thanks to all who made 10 years of beautiful memories and smiles for this old head. Love ya brother.

You’re good bro, thanks for keeping it up
Putting ad's on this is a war crime. I'll say it.
Could you provide a download link plz?
We used to Greatful Dead for free.
Yes, the ads suck. Warner Group can suck it.
Who’s here 28yrs later ! Rip jerr ❤️🥀
Every year. And many times in between when I feel the call.
Yup. I didn't even realize the date until I hopped on the internet.
We’re all still here 🐻🌈🌹💀
💛
My first show was in la 1989 and still listening to them every day
The only time I met Jerry, I told him I played in a band that played Grateful Dead music, and he replied, in mock surprise, "Oh yeah? So do we!"
Classic jerry.
Yeah, great humour!
🤣🤣
Sounds about right!
Omg I just laughed and cried at the same time! I can totally picture that…yeah that’s him.
Playing this for my mom on her phone while she's fading away on hospice care, she told me she wished she could go to one more show. Like the poem says " When I die and they bury me dead, put some headphones on my head, keep on playing that Grateful Dead" I love you Mom
God Bless our Mothers
I hope my son does the same for me. I’m only 39 but I for sure hope someone is as thoughtful to play some beautiful Jerry to me on my final days
I hope my children have those same memories of Me and Wife... Blessings upon you. The music will live forever. Mexico just proved that to us two weeks ago. Our 25th wedding anniversary was celebrated with the best soundtrack ever. Missing Jerry. Loving John. Grateful for Bobby.
May God Bless & Comfort You & Your Mother!!
My Mother is 89 and has dementia.
But in the last year or so I've realized The Grateful Dead have been playing in the background All My Life!!
She's not doing well- I'm giving her meds to her & cooking to try n get her to eat.
Its a very sad time! But
The Grateful Dead gives me doo much comfort!!
I Feel Yu!!
Just remember we all have that day coming. I'm soo glad you have taken time to be with her & respect her!!
You Will Be Rewarded!!
God Bless!!
1 Love
Kathy Hamilton I’m so sorry about your mom I lost my mom & oldest brother to cancer cigarettes killed them 3 days apart ,my mom came to me in a dream & told me she couldnt get into heaven because my brother was waiting to go to the land of the Vikings ,vahala so I had to tell him he had to go with mom 1 st to get there so go with mom u r dead do what I say ,so I guess he did the dream was over & I saw my mom one time standing there by my bed ,that was that,they can stay earth bound if they r to scared to go to the lite my dad saw it & was not a believer ,I changed his mind after he asked me what that beautiful lite was for u I said to him it’s for u ,he saw his father & son at the foot of his bed ,I told my brother get everyone out dads going & cant with us holding on so he closed the door 10 minutes later he was gone ,it seems like I’m the only one who sees this god has his chosen people & angels ,I know I’m one ,what do u feel ? Gods in us all I believe the aliens r the angels they have been looking out for us since the beginning,I believe the goverment had to admit it now that the retired pilots r out they r talking
I'm 80 now, prostate cancer, heart problems, I miss my precious little dog, and I miss Jerry so much. Thank you, JPK, for the introduction. They're with God. I hope to be there with them when my time runs out. Thank you for the love.
May God bless you.
He man... stay safe.... use the music for therapy and comfort...jus knowing how it used to be... the fun, the magic. The scene of all those shows...good luck rolls with you!!@ remember that..🌈🌾🌈
Prayers for quality days from here on out filled with great tunes and lots of love
Bobby Baby!! Hang in there brother! There’s plenty of time to kick the bucket. For now , put on some dead , crank up the volume and remember there’s a lot of us enjoying the same music. We’ re with you in spirit!!!
Not a big religious person but I would think the closest thing for me is Jerry . I'm too young was 3 in 95 ... but the dead is church
I kicked IT just days after Jerrys passing.This version is why mostly.Been clean just about 20 years now and realizing all that I've missed during those years.Thank you Jerry Garcia! A special kind of love!
Cheers to you fam A true inspiration for us all light and love to you
Gerry Graves probably the best version of the song I've heard it has healing powers
ease your soul brother...
Tim Niedzwiec so many roads always eases my soul no matter the mood im in
Yer right John Lampman! I saw Jerry and the boys play this song in Hamilton,Ontario in 1990. Cannot believe he's been gone 22 yrs now. There's 20,000 deadheads wandering around aimlessly looking for another Captain Tripps that'll never be again!
Can’t watch this without crying. This will always be Jerry’s personal farewell to all of us.
It's true I was there
Big facts brother ! I have always shared the same sentiments about this particular So Many Roads. It is also the only one worth listening to once you’ve heard it there is no going back to the other times it was sang. This is the one and only.
Well said
Same.~
wow man really feel that
Jerry died exactly 1 month after this show. thanks for all the songs I will carry with me til my day comes.
love all my deadhead friends out there ✌️
much love brother
I listen to this every year on this date. Miss you Jerry nfa
Me too! And, per usual, I’m choked up by the end of it.
My mom died last night and this is the first time I've cried. I listen to this song because I knew it would pull the tears out of me. I hope she meets Jerry in heaven. Rip mom
🕉I’m so sorry for your loss, don’t worry your mom is listening to Jerry rock out in heaven☯️
Tony, I'm so sorry you lost your mom, man. That's absolutely heartbreaking. Music, along with time, will heal all wounds and get you back on that next road. We don't know each other, but I love you, and I wish you all the best. Hang in there, my old buddy.
Thank you💚
Im soo sorry for your loss tony
much love brother
Heavy heart, hard to get through this, the words and Jerry's notes are beautiful..excuse me something in my eye
Fuck that I am crying I ain't scared much love bud
Very well said sir;
I cry every time I put this on I wish I was a little older in Pittsburgh 95 I would have hit my knees an had the most spiritual experience of my whole life during the rain. But this I think I would have gone to my maker an been ok with that mom don't you cry wifee Iove you it's been real hard but we are all in this together here or there.
@Melinda Shriver
The one to take "whining boy" home.
Don’t be sad. It’s sooo beautiful!!!
Even his mistakes are perfect. Fantastic human.
29 years when I die the first thing I’m going to do is look for Jerry and thank him for making my life so much more enjoyable
Started listening when most of my roads were ahead of me. Now, at 79, so many roads already travelled. Still listening. Fri. Oct. 18, 2024
this band literally changed my life
Me too! ✌❤
It is the most painfully sincere, beautiful, and emotional version of this song ever. He knew it wasn't going to last. We knew it, too. The Black Muddy River encore is just as poignant and heartwrenching. Thank you Jerry. You didn't have to do it for as long as you did. You were thinking about everyone but yourself.
Aaaahhhh So Many Roads always Grateful returning Home
Jerry could make me cry with this song when he wasn't dying and I wasn't old. He knew, I didn't. Now, I do, too. Rest easy, old man. We're right behind you.
So many good times if we could only go back.
The only time I met Jerry, I told him I was coming to the show the next night. "I hope it's a good one!", I said.
"So do I", he replied, laughing.
Such humility!
This has been on RUclips for almost 10 years and people are still commenting on it. As long as it stays posted, people will continue to come here, listen and leave their thoughts and feelings for others to connect with. This only shows what this band meant to those who understood.
They were prophetic in a mythological and biblical way.
A part of a voice that will be forever.
its one of those drunk nights when no one is their to console you other then jerry. R.I.P
I feel that ...
I hear that bro!! ✌
I feel for you my friend. If you need to talk I’m here
Hit me up any time man
One of those days when it just started.
Even in his last days when his body was already half dead he'd still reach all the notes, sing with the voice of an Angel, and play his guitar like a flowing River, what a great musician Jerry Garcia was.
What a Blessing He Is
In these times!
1 Love
Hullo Eva. He was much more than a musician and we were all lucky to have shared a part, however slight, of his wonderful, sad, journey. Peace to you and yours during these dark days from North Yorkshire. X
Wow
Everybody that's a Jerry Garcia fan knows August is Jerry month! It's now August 31st and we will continue celebrating the life of the legendary Jerry Garcia as we thank him for sharing all of his God given talents with all of us who recognized how truly remarkable he really was!!! I pray Jerry is resting peacefully. ♥️
Amen (I Believe)
Everyone's saying how rough Jerry looked, and it's true . But he made this beautiful music because of who he was and he got high because of who he was and at the end he didn't want to stop or couldn't stop because of who he was . Being a human being is a package deal. Listen to his interviews , he knew he was living fast. I'm sure he knew he wouldn't live to a ripe old age and he lived more in 53 years than most people would in 53 life times . We are so lucky that almost all of his music has been preserved for us . I had my first intense spiritual experience at a Dead show and I met a lot of wonderful people on tour . Met the mother of my children at a show even though we are from different countries . My boys wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Jerry and the Dead . Love you and miss you Jerry .
Clayton Wheatley. How big a star was Jerry in the US ? Was he as popular/ well known as, say, Hendrix or Joplin ? Can I ask how does in rank the guitar world ? Alongside Clapton or Richard Thompson ?
We're his live performances inconsistent? I've watched a good few videos and I'm getting that impression.
Thankyou for your beautiful words ,attributed to Jerry,very well said ....

clayton wheatley ❤️
Gotta agree well said. After being married to an alcoholic it gets a little more personal. Wonderful people in the grip of something bigger than them but like you say it's part of what makes them what they are too...
A tear comes to my eye for someone who tried to do the right thing in the end. I miss the sweet notes he continued to play so effortlessly even when he was falling apart inside. His legacy lives on forever!
Beautifully said
This seems to be the quintessential autobiographical Dead song. It just seems to encompass the whole damn thing. I'm very happy I was able to be a part of the whole damn thing.
Jerry played more music in 30 Years than 10 people could play in a lifetime. He gave all.
Not Bob Weir
Still celebrating the life of the legendary Jerry Garcia today , August 9th,2023.Jerry was an extordinary talent and yet his sweet sole remained humble,kind and respectful!!! Thank you for sharing all your God given talents ,you were blessed with so many!!! I pray you are resting peacefully!!!
The imperfectness of this version is what makes it so perfect!
Indeed!!!
😭😭😭 Was at this show....makes me cry every time I think about this being Jerry's last....so soulful and haunting...RIP Jerry...you are missed!
Yeah this is Jerry's swan song so be it...an inspiration to a generation and an era that will never be replicated...30 years later still love this man more than ever😊
All these years later I think Jerry (who always super positive) is really singing about himself, as a cry for help. It makes sad the older I get. The monster he created in the end couldn't be controlled and destroyed him. There will never be another Jerry Garcia.
As a long haul truck driver, I play this often. It has special meaning... so beautiful.
God this hurts so damn much. Nobody will ever play as well as Jerry. R.I.P to a legend
I have lost my hearing in one ear,lost part of my colon,had more surgeries than 5 people should have to have. I am old now and broken. There are so many roads in this life and each one test us. Jerry was a great Inspiration until his death. He still Inspires us but from the vaults of music he played in his life. Thank you Jerry and what a long stramge trip it was.
To those of us that love Jerry, it is particularly difficult to watch this. Beautiful song and so prophetic. And a month later TO THE DAY Jerry would be gone. May the music and spirit of Jerry Garcia live on through all eternity.
Every time I watch it. 25-years ago today. Damn. Jerry.
Very well said thank you
I remember this day he was having such a hard time this night ... It was hard to watch but the love we had for him at soldier Field was strong 💙 miss ya Jerry !
So true. Sad to watch but so beautiful.
My wife, soulmate, and best friend of 10 years suddenly passed 3/12/19...somehow I stumbled across this video...and she is with me once again...
...to ease my soul...
Thank you
Music for me is a big part of grieving ,play buddy millers in memory of my heart,God bless you
I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope you are surrounded by love. Peace
@@TC-dw6wg very kind TC but I sent a reply also,you want to send it to loki instead of jimbo,peace
I'm so sorry. She will always be with you. Always
I was at this show. When the show ended and everything was being put away, it felt like this giant magical dragon was being put back into a tiny box and closed. It was palpable.
At the time I got my tickets last minute somehow, it was magical that some were released last minute…meant to be. My family had a huge reunion that weekend and I had to tell them I couldn’t come cuz I was going to a Dead show (only deadhead in the family). I told them at the time it was the last shows of the Grateful Dead…I knew somehow and got the miracle tickets from the universe. Shocked my cousins later when that is what came to pass. I have so much love and gratitude for Jerry and all the Dead.
The last lulluby
😂😢🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Mt first time hearing this. Long song. Sent by a special someone. Very mellow, love it. ❤
I saw them a few weeks before in Seattle...I know the feeling...it was kinda melancholy
Boy I still miss that man so so much. It gives me chills I was actually at this show. Was lucky enough to travel for many years and shows. He was never the same once Brent died. I miss the days and the boys. God Bless!!
My heart breaks every time I hear it. Miss you Jerry....
It is Aug 9, 2022 and I remember this day back in '95 like it was yesterday. Believe it or not, it still sting. Thank you for you, Jerry, for your words, your music, and the memories. May you continue to rest in peace.
So many roads I was sitting with Bill back stage Jerry was 15 feet away signing a few autographs he said to Me do you want one I said no I would get one again and he's said yes you will so many roads that was last time I saw him up close Lord I've been walking down this road so many roads to ease my soul
25 years on down the road, and the music has never stopped.
Thank you Jerry. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.
thats the truth
Amen brother. Amen.
Too this day when I hear or see this song played it hurts, it makes me happy, it makes feel, it makes me sad , but most of all it makes me remember. Remember that night sitting off side stage nearly crying during this song. I remember my first show & the GD firstv in that same staduim. I remember all the beautiful kind brothers & sisters I met or already knew. Yet most of all I remember Jerry & the light he & the boys brought me & then the love & finally how much I miss the fat man. Love & miss ya Jerry & thank you Bobby Phil Billy Mickey Brent/Bruce /Vince.
The Lion's Last Roar..rest in peace friend to all, you did GREAT!
+Dave Frank What an incredible way to put it. Aside from Dylan's immortal epitaph to Garcia, I think this is the finest farewell statement to Garcia I've ever read.
Thanks Dave Frank
❤
💕
Jerry's beautiful journey here left us exactly 1 month after this concert. August 9,1995.
Look into his face and see the pain pouring out of his soul, still trying to heal us and love us through. To his end with all that he had.
soul to soul, my friend, I miss you
I see the pain in his face from drug abuse.
Hayward Cali. In a valley
A month later he met his maker. This literally brings a tear to my eye. He looked so tired and yet his guitar was crisp. SO MANY ROADS TO EASE HIS SOUL.
Well said family
Who's here listening 2024
I am, and will be until the next chapter begins.
@@crizmo1426 see you in the next chapter brother
I will always listen❤ this music ages like fine wine
@@CabinEntrance rite on my man
Once a fan always a fan❤
This performance makes me cry every time. Heart wrenching. Gut wrenching. Mind wrenching. Every kind of wrenching. RIP Jerry Garcia. You will always be loved.
I hear you ... to think he would be gone one month later .. very sad .... RIP Gerry !!!
Hard not to shed a tear. Was too young to see Jerry, but these moments resonate with my soul deeply. Thank you Jerry.
Son to see jerry live is was and will forever be the greatest joy of my life an honest brilliant cool guy that had millions hanging on every word every note and still today and forever what a life what a legacy....
@@josephgrumet Goosebumps reading that. Thank you for sharing man, truly.
I never knew the man, but he was a good friend of mine.
I picked up my things and went outside
A man that I loved up and died
I couldn't believe that after all of this time
I never knew the man but he was a good friend of mine
So long, i'll see you down that long dark river
Floating on that lining in the sky
I'm lucky, lucky enough to have heard you play your song
So long, Jerry, so long
Always be together
Rolling down the track
Always and forever
Never lookin' back
I got my guitar and went to the river
Saw alot of people just dancin' around
I took off my shirt and jumped in the water
You always flew so high, now you've finally left the ground
So long, i'll see you down that long dark river
Floating on that lining in the sky
I'm lucky, lucky enough to have heard you sing your song
So long, Jerry, so long
So long, Jerry, so long
Ween!
27 years later. I was born the day this was played. I recently found this song and it really sums up my life right now.. changing careers, moving.. again.. choosing things that are making me happier.. so many roads. Jerry’s soul is heartbreaking. Can’t help but sit and reflect on how we got here…
Happy birthday man... this is one of the 1st dead songs I heard... it truly changed my life
This is beautiful. I forgot what day it was and just happened to put this on at work tonight and cried behind the bar. This got shared to reddit and I’m reminded of how small we really are and was humbled to realize that I spontaneously put this on and got brought back to it a few hours later. This is on repeat for me today now. I was born 27 years ago right before this last tour started and it is beautiful to see how it all unfolded. Much love and happy birthday to ya!
@@dspangler777 I cry everytime I hear this 💔
Here for Robert tonight too. Seeing the other comments today, I'm glad we can all find somewhere to share our grief at his passing and our joy at the music that he left for us. RIP Hunter.
Hunter passed away while I was in rehab. I would have been here three months ago if it wasn't for that. Rest easy, Devil Friend.
Amen
Msg halloween tribute to hunter /garcia play list omg was in 😭
I was there, 30th row, ENTRANCED! Beautiful. Tragic. Different. Outside the stadium was a riot-filled atmosphere. Cops on horses crackn' skulls. Heads. Somehow I knew that '85-'95 phase was over. The stare of Jer was distant and elsewhere. The band knew it. The crowd was mostly oblivious, caught in the drugged-fueled distraction like an EDM rave is to Ecstasy. I could only hope the crowds that violated Shakedown on that tour would wise-up but the band knew it was outta control. The rest we know. Very happy to see the iterations reassemble, reinterpret and reclaim the peace and harmony of those early experiences that embraced my young spirit to realize a larger dimension that is our universal connection. Forever Grateful.
Right on Brutha.
Thanks, your words move me.
very well said HarmonicTrading. I believe it started after spring tour 1985. There was a great moment 10/89 to 7/90.
HarmonicTrading ditto😢... I felt the same way, at the last concert.
Sadly, after seeing them for 25 years, I felt the same about Jerry's performance at the last one I attended at Shoreline in Mtn View Calif the week before this one. He seemed like a skeleton of his former self. Something felt wrong. From the time he first started doing Standing on the Moon, I felt like he was telling us Goodbye.
The Grateful Dead’s music got me through the worst anxiety of my life. Good music is truly healing. Jerry’s guitar playing is so soothing. RIP
glad to see this video getting the attention it deserves today. NOT FADE AWAY
The last show. A show that wasn't really all that sharp. And then.....Jerry stepped in and saved it all. I am so fortunate to have lived during the time of Jerry Garcia and had the opportunity to see the Grateful Dead play.
Millions of years and we were lucky enough, by some strange chance, to exist at the same time as all of these guys. Pretty amazing. Thanks for quite literally everything fellas.
I agree wholeheartedly GOD BLESS JERRY GARCIA
YOU ARE! Make no mistake✌🏼I was not as fortunate....
Thank you mr. Garcia for all those moments I had the privilege to listen to sweet melodies and harmonies. Your singing still calms my soul. Your voice makes me feel like I belong in this world. All blessings from my heart to you sir. I shall never forget the love that came from your instruments and your mouth and your soul. May you rest in peace
If you're not crying during this, there's something wrong with you. Thank you Jerry.
thats right dude! If you don't cry, you've got no soul!
love how Bob, Phil, Bill and Mickey just hung in there with Jerry supporting him throughout the song as he worked he way through it. They didn't push him at all, they were patient and followed his lead.
Every year on this day I force myself to listen to this...I miss Jerry, sure, but the older I get I think what I miss more is the times I had back then..in my 20s..summer tours..biggest worry was tickets and gas money..man to go back just for a short while........
Well said my friend...so many memories...So Many Roads.
When all the kids get older and wiser they will come to understand whats being said now and what has been said by Jerry and the dead.Understanding truth/art/music requires a "perspective" much of the time.....Took me a while to get to where I could see....Now I have this great gift..RIP Jerry.
Very true. My first and last show was at Giants stadium (9/2/78 and 6/19/95) and that last show I was walking away and little did I know... Those 17 or so years of seeing the Dead whenever I could were such a precious time in my life, I knew during that time that someday they would be gone, and I look back now that they are, and miss those amazing fun absolutely priceless times beyond any words. Its strange how time, is so permanent when its passed by, yet so taken for granted before it does. Anyway in those amazing tones and rhythms, and Hunters timeless lyrics I still to this day hear new light shining through.

And Jerrys Fat Licks on that Ax!!
Exquisite!!
Wow. Well spoken.
He checked into rehab after this and died a week later and it makes me so sad. He wasn't perfect, but he knew what he had to do. Give music to those who need to feel and heal, for he didn't know how to heal himself. Thank you Jerry
Brings tears to my eyes every time I see this. Indeed, so many roads. So many roads traveled, so many roads made so much better because of this man.
This is the most spiritually moving and spiritually significant piece of music ever recorded.
What a soulful performance by Jerry Garcia at the end of his life. When I joined the Army at age 18 I hadn't listen to any music of the Grateful Dead before. While in basic training one of my Army buddies was telling me everyday about the Greatful Dead, this awesome band he loved and about how great Jerry Garcia was. Then a few days later while we were sitting next to each other in the mess hall eating breakfast and hearing the radio overhead the news came on that Jerry had died. Thanks to that old Army buddy of mine for introducing me to the Grateful Dead, one of my favorite bands of all time now and a great source of inspiration in my life. I hope he is doing well these days, 25 years later!
I believe he knew where he was headed to when he sang this for us... Thank you Jerry will love you forever
Now these guys were a fucking band. Through ups and downs, drugs, decadence and decades they sure kicked a lot of ass and blew a whole lot of minds.
Grateful Dead, Forever
❤️🌞🙏🏼📿🐚🙏🏼🌱🍄
I’m sorry we pushed you so hard Jer. I’m sorry you had to play 80 shows a year. I’m forever Grateful for the music you put on this Earth, and I hope that if there is an afterlife, you’re standing on the moon.
well said
I was barely alive and im sorry too
Jerry did what he loved...
Mike Curtis i agree
I,.
It is a sacrilege to interrupt this immortal, soulful masterpiece with an ad.
Adblockers are great
A beautiful version. Jerry's voice is strong, almost a goodbye letter to us all
❤😢❤ miss you Jerry. Thanks for leaving us the best music in the universe. See you later on the far side of the hill
I believe he passed at 53 which is my age now. He seemed to cram 100 years of musical experience in his lifetime. Whatever he did to shorten his life, he really gave so much life to so many during his own. They were the life of the party for 30 years, and maybe that was a harder gig than any of us could really imagine.
Best ride of this Life… gave us all..and more, please let us be thankful to have been part of this Journey and Brotherhood. Never felt any more closeness and consciousness with others as this Voyage with Jerry and The GD Family. 🙏🏼✌️😎What a ride.. What a Blessing. So Many Roads…
And ya still miss him daily as we all do. Was watching some Hunter today. So Many Roads indeed. Peace
This concert took place almost two weeks before I was born on the 21st. I think it’s a happy thought to know that I was in the world with Jerry Garcia at least for a little while. I sure wish I got to experience them growing up, but thank God for the internet!
The dead family taught me so many lessons. The one that stands alone is how to love.Thank you!
I think sometimes I come here just to cry...
I miss Jerry ❤😢
Me too
Amen
I love this tune and always listen to it when I'm feeling down about losing my youngest of 2 children, and only my son in a car wreck on Nov. 5, 2012, being "Forever 19" He would have been 29 in early June of 2022 if he wasn't called home in 2012! I started taking him to concerts when he was 9 years old starting with "The Dead Tour in 2003, ABB March tours in NYC, and Allgood Festivals, etc., etc! After he traveled "Onward and Upward" I listened to his iPod which was 80% full of GD, ABB, NRPS, JGB, FEAT, G'ovt Mule, Pink MULE, DSO, etc. We were not just father and son, we were best friends and I'm thankful for the time we shared here on this Blue Sphere in space for 19 years!
"So many roads to soothe my soul" is still a work-in-progress for me over the last decade, and I know I will never get over it until we all meet again a little further down the road! Our last words were " I love you and have a good day!" his reply was, "I love you too Dad and I'll see you later!" I'm Grateful those were our last words!
Rest in Peace my brother.
Prayers
I can't imagine 😢
I’m sorry to hear about your son. He loves you and we do too. I’m wishing you peace. ✌️❤️
✌️💙 🙏
Jerry Garcia was a blessing ! Thanks You Sir Jerome !
This will be played on my funeral! The desperation and pain...
Nobody but Jerry could deliver a piece of art like this one.
Jerry’s last song he gave to us you can hear his soul at the end trying to teach us “So many roads I know, All I want is one to take me home, From the high road to the low.” Amazing spiritual song makes me cry every time.
Yeah especially when he says ain't that a shame and give you a minute to think about so many roads. And so many roads tease my soul! Last words I got to hear him say,to this day he's right as rain!
Actually, the last one he ever sang in concert was "Black Muddy River." But this is just as appropriate to think of in that way . . .
Makes me cry. The only artist who can make me feel more during the guitar solo than with the lyrics.
Still brings a tear. I was section A at soldier field. Remember thinking there was something different when Jerry sang this. He didn't look good at all.
Honestly I’m in tears of love and awe from what I just heard the isolated bass is on a level as a gift from God through the wonderful man that is Phil Lesh. Thank you so much for this it’s a civilization’s treasure
I cant hardly watch this even tho it fills my soul with joy. Lost my dad a few mos ago to a accidental overdose, he lived his life much like Jerry. Him and my father favored one another so much in the later years, even mannerisms. They both had such a calming cool presence, ppl loved my father, as we all loved Jerry. So hard to watch right now but I know is good for the soul, praying for healing. Both gone too soon. RIP Jerry RIP Papa
maik 1127 let the music heal you my friend. If the dead can do anything, it’s fill you with hope.
I dont listen to this song often,i know were its goin to take me,i usually reserve it for when im alone, most people i know just dont understand
👍
I’m 75. Vietnam vet. TGD saved my life.
How they saved your life?
Thank You for your Service, The Grateful Dead has probably saved my life more than once in my life, Love the Dead so much I got a red , white and blue Steal your Face on my arm, never heard a bad Dead song ever , peace ✌️ and positive vibrations for y'all tonight, Jah bless us and protect us all Amen 💖🙏🙌 ONELOVE is an ACTION
Thank you for your time and sacrifice!
I always cry along with this tune.
I lived my life on the road for way too many years. But I’m now 70 plus years and still listening and always learning. Last ride I got from hitching was outside of OK town with a dude carrying nitro, lightning all around us, daylite after each strike and the whole country was lit up. 150 miles later he dropped me off in Fort Worth. That was my last ride .
Long strange trip
Just came to say that a few days ago I lost my best friend and companion in my adult life, she was 14 and an angel...her name was Kila and with a broken heart I had to put her down due to old age and an injury. My sweet angel this is the song I sang to you along the way and I cannot wait to have you by my side again. In loving memory of my little doggy, my angel. I will miss you and if you cant get into heaven I dont wanna be there either.
Sorry guys, this is the song that will always remind me of her. *tears* heh. Love you Jerry
Rip good dog
RIP Kila...losing a pet is so heartbreaking
tears every time. only jerry garcia could ever project such emotion. Hope you found that road home Jerry, but we'll always miss you
Jerry looks so tired. He gave us all the best of himself. Soo many years, soo many memories. I can't help but cry everytime i hear this and see him, he looks like he was at peace and just needed to rest.
Until we meet again, i hold your music forever in my heart. ♡
Yup. He really looks sad and at the very end here...still - I love hearing Jerry's frail attempts...though his solos could still be fiery and inspired.
29 years ago today, Still Missing Jerry. 😭
Crazy. I was 17 and listening outside. Didn’t get in to any shows after The Palace.
Every day man...
I feel old . Sux
I read somewhere that even the roadies stopped and watched Jerry, he really gave it all he had left on this.
Lost a brother today. Dementia a long and hard road. This and black muddy river have been playing for him. Thanks Jerry. John I will miss you. See you in the light someday. Say hi to mom for me.....your soul is at ease.
Sorry for your loss. Your brother is free from the broken down palace that is our mortal body and is in a better place. Dementia is from the pit of hell.
Amen brother in death we are all united it comes for us all. Someday we all get to go to that big party in the sky were Jerry is playing to welcome us all home ⚡️💀🌈❤️
I was at this show. So sad about what happened afterwards. Nobody knew this would be Jerry's last show. Thanks for posting, sharing, and bringing back some good memories.
This here. If this doesn’t move a human to tears, you might not be human.
Miss you, Jerry.
❤️💀🌞
Chills and tears is right, Jerry was building, making, softly hammering his bridge between Earth, body, soul, spirit, life, eternity and peace, very touching, Jerry puts that special feeling in our hearts, what a simple man, what a powerful man Jerry sings in this concert for the last time and clearly feels the spiritual voyage near, RIP our great man Jerry Garcia!
Crazy to think that one month later he would be gone 🎼🎤🎸⚡️💀 Every time that I watch this I can’t help but think he knew it was over. He sang his heart out on this. And the solos were beautiful yet sad. I was at this show and I don’t remember thinking at the time that this was a great version of this song. It was just normal to me. Not a standout. I’d heard it countless times on the tape I had of this show. And still it was just a regular version. However when I first discovered the video on RUclips of it, I was blown away. Definitely my favorite version. Thanks for putting it up. ✌️❤️⚡️💀🎸
This gets more and more difficult to listen to every time I hear it. We miss you Jerry, I hope you found your road home.
Just turned 60 today . RIP Jerry You are not kidding so many roads
He was saying goodbye. Like on some level he knew. Not his greatest guitar virtuosity, but so much heart and soul in the vocals. Thank you for sharing this.
Well I think it's done to Perfection.
May God hold you close Brother!
1Love
24yrs ago today we lost one of the best guitarist in the world, I can’t believe that’s it been 24yrs already. “ Such a long long time be gone, but a short time to get there.” Love ya Jerry always will. “There’s nothing left to do but smile smile smile.” ❤️⚡️🎸🐢🌹💀⚡️
Was on the road with the boys touring for 10 years watching the boys bring such beautiful music and memories to all that would listen. Was at the last show and you just knew it in your heart as I think did he that this was the end of a wonderful long strange trip that he took us all on Thanks for all the roads we all traveled to see you night after night. Wouldn’t change it for nothing brother. Thanks to all who made 10 years of beautiful memories and smiles for this old head. Love ya brother.
