I couldn't have said it better myself. I started to cry while listening to Peggy O and typing this. Everyone who has understood what it really means to be DeadHead will be connected for ever in this life or the next. Grateful Peace to you my brother or sister JERRY CHRISTMAS😎🌈🐻💀🌹🎑🌌🌉🌞🌅🌁🎸☃️
Yes, Jerry is very happy where he is. I know that because every now & then he shows up in my meditations. He's very happy and knows everything going on. Much Love
every once in a while....I doubt that it was all real....that the music was THAT GOOD.....but then....I listen again and wish that we could do it all over!!!! Man I miss this guy!!
His job was to shed light, not to master. Still listening to you every day after all these years. Can't tell you how much I owe you, Jerry for helping me get through life. Love you Forever Maan
" reaching for the gold ring down inside. Never could reach it, just slips away but I try." - That's the 'never give up' gift that Jerry shared w us. God Bless The Dead🗽
I saw a 108 shows between 1978 and 1995. I'd follow the northeast tours in the fall and spring, catch six shows in ten days. You had no idea what to expect from night to night and the band usually delivered a memorable experience. Even on an off night they could all of a sudden get in a groove and do a rendition of The Other One or Morning Dew that rocked you to your soul. The blessing to us now is the vast legacy of concert videos available so we can experience again and savor the nuanced notes Jerry and the boys gave to us.
Right on brother. Right on. Couldn’t have been said better in any form. The days of our misguided youth night after night. They could blow your mind in the blink of an eye and fuckin take off on that cosmic journey and just leave us speechless. Was there with ya brother.
Jimi this is classy. At one of my final shows in Albany 95, I cried at the end of So Many Roads, I realized Jerry was saying goodbye. I mail ordered for fall tour a couple of weeks later, the day I got my tickets for six nights at the Boston Garden, I sighed and said "I hope he makes it," to myself. He died the very next day.
Love the tear jerkin Jerry songs.....a life long love affair with music......this band could artfully rip yer heart out....and you'd love every note of agony.....
"...There's nothing you can hold for very long. In the end there' s just a song, comes crying like the wind And it seems like all this life was just a dream. Stella Blue." The definition of sublime. How is it, Jerry, that you have been gone away from us for twenty years already?
his music and impact on a million musicians is certainly not gone :) in 200 years people will still learn his songs just like we do beetovin today..... rock on forever jerry < no one ever replaced you n many have tried....
You know I'm counting Back The Years and I remember the day the Jerry Garcia got busted on the turnpike and I realized that I had seen the bust I was hitchhiking back to New Brunswick from Baltimore and in the ride up north I saw some staties busting some guy in the car I think it was a Cadillac and I find out that that was Jerry Garcia being incarcerated 4 suitcase full of Goody's who would think all these years later that all that stuff would be considered healthy good for the mind the soul the knees and everything else under the sun
First saw Jerry in 1969, and have been walking in his footsteps since. Always at least a little light shining, even at the darkest moments. What I love about this compilation is that is shows how much Jerry enjoyed being human. No splash, no flash. Just a long draught of the real deal. Thank you for sharing!
I've been a fan since 87 but since I started playing Bass, about 6 years ago, I've immersed myself in everything Garcia. So Many Roads was the tune that I listened to more than anything. Watching Jerry's expression and positivity as he belted out the last Verse, especially finishing... Soul... the crowd goes wild and the connection is secured. Rock On Jerry.. Rock On.
I circle back to this killer video every now and then.. can't believe it's been over a decade.. 56 next month and miss the shit out of the everything that was great about the dead/touring and the seemingly simpler days and less complicated times...
Almost without exception the comments sections for Garcia and Dead music are the kindest, happiest places on the internet. In a good mood they're just fun to read. In a bad mood they can reorient your mind and outlook completely. So glad so many people come here to emphasize this part of themselves.
So I was watching this video for the first time (incredible job btw), and when the Visions came on I was just floored... blown away. I was there. One of only 6 shows I was lucky enough to make it to. I saw a few in '89 when I was really young, and it took me a few years to mature to what was going on. Once I did though, it was so special. Me and a few of my friends drove down from Boston and we were literally like giddy school childeren. I remember one of my friends kicking a football we were tossing around up on the elevated highway that kinda curved over part of the parking lot. I was just old enough to start devoting my time and money to following The Dead, and so I was. I saw a few other shows this spring, but this Spectrum show was always the best. The Iko-Iko had the old building rockin like you wouldnt have believed, and then, a bit later.. this VOJ. I remember it so clearly and it was just as wrenching then as it is now (knowing what we know). As soon as I got home I ordered my tix for the Summer with a bunch of shows at my beloved Boston Garden. I must have known sonething was up because I just felt like it was too good to be true.. And then.. it happened. I was awoken by a phone call and was given the news that Jer had died. I hung up on him saying "dont fuck around like that". When the phone rang right back, my heart dropped. I ran to the TV and saw the news. I was overwhelmed and cried like I have only once or twice in my life, and to tell you the truth, at the time, I was a little freaked at the depth of my emotional reaction. However, even as I cried, I realized it wasnt because I wasntngoing to see Jerry of The Dead again. It was for what was lost that day, what we all lost. I cried for the girlfriend who was supposed to go to her first show that summer. I cried for all the future Heads who wouldnt get to experience a moment like my VOJ. I cried for all humanity for losing such a , unique and beautiful soul who had touched millions throughout the years.. I cried.... Thanks so much for this.
Thanks for sharing. Yeah, that Visions video just knocks me flat every time I see it. It's so heartbreaking and so beautiful at the same time. I wish I had gotten a chance to see him live, man. But, I'm very, very grateful for the tapes and RUclips videos.
I don't know what else to say other than this was so beautiful and sad at the same time. I loved everything that JERRY and the GRATEFUL DEAD helped me become, understand, and live a fuller life. Thank you JERRY I miss you so much. Be grateful be peaceful to all.😎✌🌈🐻🐢🥀
Some people wondered about the title, "Jerry Wept". For me, it meant simply that these were some songs that expressed some sad feeling, which he expressed through his playing and singing. Certainly, that he played them all toward the end of his time with us increases their emotionality...thanks Jim for a truly great compilation!
Our dear sweet Jerry, you are so dearly missed. You were taken from us 22 years ago today but you will forever live on in our hearts. R.I.P. our dear sweet Jerry, keep rockin the heavens. Our love for you will NOT FADE AWAY. Many hippie hugs always. Much peace, love & happiness ✌💖😄🌄🤘💨💨🌹
"Not attached to my own work". That's why the world could record at concerts. And we have great archives we can share with each other. Thanks for sharing.
I started off thinking ":well the 90's weren't my favorite era ..."but, from my first show in'72 through 1995, there was always something special, something that kept me coming back tour after tour, run after run Jerry Band, Dead shows, what have you. They had got to me early and never let me go.. You certainly found them, the examples of "IT" gems from the 90's & I enjoyed every one! THANKS!!
It wasn't ever about their technical ability: it was the incredible improvisation and the great spirit/soul they brought to every performance. What a fantastic group
Wow this is beautiful. This man gave me so many amazing years of my life. My heart breaks thinking he wouldn’t be helped in the end. As bad as he was down the stretch(it all really caught up to him so fast) this version of So Many Roads is really very good. I miss him

Thank you, SO MUCH, for that! Funny... about the comments about copyright. It's so obvious that this was just an act of love. Funny how this comes to me "new" five years later via the youtubes. I don't have an old story from when I saw Jerry because I never did. But right here, right now, this was just the perfect thing to come to me in the momemt. It's hard to explain how uncannily relevant Jerry's music (and others, but especially Jerry) can be to your emotion and experience in the moment... out of the blue. Strange, and moving when it happens. I would venture that someone who was there to experience Jerry's presence first-hand for a performance might claim that there was a palpable "magic" present in those moments that could not be bottled. But it's not true. Something about that magic is connected to "the moment", in a way that penetrates through to something timeless. And present. Sometimes, very much so, in THIS moment. Not just the music and lyrics, but also the interview clips you threw in had relevance for me. It can make your head spin. How can you apply logic and reason to the experience? I guess that's why it feels somehow mystical... because you really can't explain it. But there it is. And, I will tell you... that magic, whatever it is... is healing. Great stuff, man. Again... thanks.
I realize that you wrote that over three years ago my friend, but just reading it now and listening to this for the million time, I must say, very nicely said brother...I was at 37 shows between 91' - 94', and I feel so blessed for that, but wish it was 337...it was the best time of my life, and it was because of The Dead and The White Haired Angel were in it...I always said I could never go again without Jerry there, and I haven't, but being older now, 50 next year, I think it's time to go see Dead & Co this spring brother...thanks for that amazing poetry my friend...GD 4EVER!!..."I was blind all the time I was learning to see...." miss him every day!...✌💀🎸🎵
saw them three nights in a row in londons wembly arena 1990 and they were hot hot hot. blew everyones minds. screaming ecstatic crowd. didnnt seem to be fading then. we ALL got to die.. jerry g rip pearly believed them. all i leave behind me is only what i found. i shall be released standing on the moon though i would rather be with you. be with you. be with you. so many roads ease my soul. jerry. you eased my soul. thank you wheaty.

the night before the long awaited first live unbroken chain in philly that was shot heard round the world , was my favorite garcia memory , jerry said his all time favorite song was visions of johana, i still feel the slime of the spectrum steps ,his gigantic shit eating grin while delivering the mona lisa verse , but more than anything i remember the phantom feeling ,cutting through my soul ,of his delicate solos that made tears roll out my eyes as dnt poured out of my glands orgasmically sponging up the undescribable healing magic of the rainbow warrior shinning light into the darkness of my soul . all these years later the tears still roll the spine tingles the smells return and the heart loves and soul heals thank you for posting
ps, june 19 th 1991 , was one of my favorite post brent shows , and favorite shows period , super late taking the stage summer tour giants stadium, the norm was first set usually ended just at sundown, well no band as of 9pm pitch black ,,,,, good things came to those who wait , the band came out smoking from opening to close and for the first and only time opened a show with eyes of the world , big bear ,was animated beaming dancing and feeling like rocking , i think hornsby had recently gone to the press about some nights the band just mails it in ,,, and nobody plays hoops with me at the ymca on tour , and other goofy shit , well jerry took the student put him on the hot seat , and blew bruces little mind , not letting him off the hook the sheepish grin on hornsby face is priceless , and you can actually see a dunce cap manifest for a split second or two , butt the great pthing is awesome videos and audios widely available for this show , 06/19/1991 the whole show is awesome but for the 25 year anniversary a few days ago watch the complete eyes opener when you have a moment to enjoy , sorry if im preaching to the choir here as i probably am , but the multi cam videos that exist was broadcast on national television for a series called in concert, hope your still seeing some live music doug, and your nice reply made my day , might try new riders of purp sage in philly friday , and might try to make starlake amphitheater july 7or 8th i think in burgettstown pa . for dead and company , who have been turning quite a few heads , and converting alot of critics anyhow hope all is kind lovely and peaceful and safe my brother

It's always heart wrenching for me to see Jerry at the end, especially this particular So Many Roads. The man I idolized and loved dearly during my youth, near the end and so very tired and frail. The music of the Grateful Dead provided the lions share of the soundtrack of my life, but it was always Jerry in particular who touched something deeper. He left us way too soon. In his absence we have his legacy of music, but it pales beside the man himself. RIP Jerry and thanks again.
Oh Jerry, .. what a long strange trip its been .... forever in our hearts. Forever. Wheatskins, Thank you. Somewhere along the way, you learned something about something, thank you for taking the time.
Jerry wept through his fingers on the keyboards, we wept and sometimes still weep as our loss manifests itself in ways we never imagined...Even though his voice cracked with the years, it seemed his fingers remembered every jam that didnt quite work, every errant note that lingered too long and in the 90's his fingers were already knocking on heavens door playing the music of the angels...RIP friends!
I've been on a pilgrimage, kinda. I've been rediscovering Jerry and it's like new all over again. So many shows I missed. After experiencing Jerry Day a few years back, I realize all I missed.
this is a most beauty full loving and heartfelt tribute to the good man himself...thank you for making and sharing this..Jerry Garcia eases my soul..thank you for all your good loving Jerry Garcia..
saw them three nights in a row in londons wembly arena 1990 and they were hot hot hot. blew everyones minds. screaming ecstatic crowd. didnnt seem to be fading then. we ALL got to die.. jerry g rip pearly believed them
Who the F would put a thumbs down to this??? Thanks Wheatskins! Great compilation you put together... THE FAT MAN ROCKS! THANKS JERRY, YOU MAKE MY EARS SMILE!
Nicely done. I especially like the beginning when Jerry says he'd like to be remembered as a competent musician. You have to admire someone that humble, especially when you're one of the greatest guitar players of all time, if not the greatest.
I shared this on FB tonight because you have really captured what made Jerry so special. He certainly did weep when he sang and played. That So Many Roads in Chicago was just so special. It brings tears to my eyes to listen to it. Perfect.
WOW .. I haven't felt this good since that time up in Buffalo when I accidently wandered into another dimension clucking like a chicken during "Little Red Rooster". .. I loved playing this video.
I can't stop watching this. Lovely collection. I've gotten to the Standing on the Moon which I have to say was one of the most memorable moments for me seeing the band live. We had seats about 14 rows back which was nice. Aside from the weirdness of interpersonal stuff that day, that was a special day and show. Thanks for this collection!
saw them three nights in a row in londons wembly arena 1990 and they were hot hot hot. blew everyones minds. screaming ecstatic crowd. didnnt seem to be fading then. we ALL got to die.. jerry g rip
Thank you Wheatskins! I still maintain that it wasn't a guitar that Jerry played but a six-string magic box. I can see where he says that each note has its own distinct color.
I got genuinely teared up at the end during So Many Roads - I'd heard the footage before, but seeing him just wrench those notes from his voice and just soar, well...let's just say there will never, EVER be another Jerry Garcia.
Sometimes when everything seems suffocating, when work and life are at their worst I listen to Jerry and I smile and laugh.
Nothing left to do but smile,smile,smile.....
just hope he's happy wherever he is The Man has brought joy to millions and continues to this very day: hopefully forever
I couldn't have said it better myself. I started to cry while listening to Peggy O and typing this. Everyone who has understood what it really means to be DeadHead will be connected for ever in this life or the next. Grateful Peace to you my brother or sister
JERRY CHRISTMAS😎🌈🐻💀🌹🎑🌌🌉🌞🌅🌁🎸☃️
Yes, Jerry is very happy where he is. I know that because every now & then he shows up in my meditations. He's very happy and knows everything going on. Much Love
Thanks for easing my soul......
So Greatfull....
Love you Mr Jerry. So so sincere.
every once in a while....I doubt that it was all real....that the music was THAT GOOD.....but then....I listen again and wish that we could do it all over!!!! Man I miss this guy!!
this hits me close to home
+Russell George Brother it was "that good."
yea I feel the same way. WasI that high?...no...it was that GOOOD
Pmh
Hear you brother. It's all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago.....
"Not only do we not wanna do the same thing every night - we can't, we're unable to"
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul who gave us so much.
So Many Roads.... Fuckin A... Jerry KNEW that was the last show. You can just tell! The SOUL! What a phenomenal talent!
My soul is so lifted by that man........So fortunate to have been alive at the same time....and aware of the gift that was Jerry G.
His job was to shed light, not to master. Still listening to you every day after all these years. Can't tell you how much I owe you, Jerry for helping me get through life. Love you Forever Maan
I couldn't agree more. I second that emotion! ✌&❤
" reaching for the gold ring down inside.
Never could reach it, just slips away but I try." - That's the 'never give up' gift that Jerry shared w us. God Bless The Dead🗽
Jerry is the only man on a guitar that can make it cry along with us ! 😢🥲😥😰😱🥵😖😣💜❤️💛🧡💙💚👽🪐🛸🐰🐇🎹🎼🌹
Jerry in shorts! God how I love this band! Always have and always will!
I saw a 108 shows between 1978 and 1995. I'd follow the northeast tours in the fall and spring, catch six shows in ten days.

And it seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella Blue."
The definition of sublime.
How is it, Jerry, that you have been gone away from us for twenty years already?
+David Carpenter thank you Robert Hunter...
The great one! How I miss his face, his laughter and HIS MUSICAL TALENT, which I don't think we talk enough about.
his music and impact on a million musicians is certainly not gone :) in 200 years people will still learn his songs just like we do beetovin today..... rock on forever jerry < no one ever replaced you n many have tried....

Jerry singing "I shall be released" epic! Soulful compilation...Simply the best...RIP
I’m so sorry Jerry had to
Go Elsewhere!
He & his Songs are a
New American Anthem!
Good Job Jerry Naomi
Every time I listen I remember some wonderful deep memory. So many memory’s. I love u Jerry.
I circle back to this killer video every now and then.. can't believe it's been over a decade.. 56 next month and miss the shit out of the everything that was great about the dead/touring and the seemingly simpler days and less complicated times...
Can't help but get choked up wishing for one last goodbye show.
way more than competent.
This is fantastic. The 90's were a special period for the grateful dead for me.
Almost without exception the comments sections for Garcia and Dead music are the kindest, happiest places on the internet. In a good mood they're just fun to read. In a bad mood they can reorient your mind and outlook completely. So glad so many people come here to emphasize this part of themselves.

Thanks so much for this treat🌹🌹🌹🌹😎😎🌹🌹😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks for all the music Jerry. One Love
what a great find this t is fantastic
I don't know what else to say other than this was so beautiful and sad at the same time. I loved everything that JERRY and the GRATEFUL DEAD helped me become, understand, and live a fuller life. Thank you JERRY I miss you so much. Be grateful be peaceful to all.😎✌🌈🐻🐢🥀
new respect for the dead in the 90's.. this is golden heartfelt poetry. Soulful sound..
Some people wondered about the title, "Jerry Wept". For me, it meant simply that these were some songs that expressed some sad feeling, which he expressed through his playing and singing. Certainly, that he played them all toward the end of his time with us increases their emotionality...thanks Jim for a truly great compilation!
And boy did he do sad songs so hauntingly beautiful. And beautiful songs sometimes very sadly.
Its a play on "Jesus Wept" from John 11:35.
Our dear sweet Jerry, you are so dearly missed. You were taken from us 22 years ago today but you will forever live on in our hearts. R.I.P. our dear sweet Jerry, keep rockin the heavens. Our love for you will NOT FADE AWAY. Many hippie hugs always. Much peace, love & happiness ✌💖😄🌄🤘💨💨🌹
Just Played along with So Many Roads for nearly 3 hours. What a magnificent rendition. WATERWORKS!
"Not attached to my own work". That's why the world could record at concerts. And we have great archives we can share with each other. Thanks for sharing.
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by
Jerry, you were,are and always will be one of the greatest of all time sir. Love you jerry for bringing your style and love to the world.
I started off thinking ":well the 90's weren't my favorite era ..."but, from my first show in'72 through 1995, there was always something special, something that kept me coming back tour after tour, run after run Jerry Band, Dead shows, what have you.

This was great. Bless you Jerry.
All the years combine, they melt into a dream. A broken angel sings from a guitar...
Jerry was highly critical of himself always so modest
That peggy o was amazing! By far my new favorite!
Each time I watch it, it's perfectly Grateful.
It wasn't ever about their technical ability: it was the incredible improvisation and the great spirit/soul they brought to every performance. What a fantastic group
Wow this is beautiful. This man gave me so many amazing years of my life. My heart breaks thinking he wouldn’t be helped in the end. As bad as he was down the stretch(it all really caught up to him so fast) this version of So Many Roads is really very good. I miss him

Oh Peggy O. My favorite. Thanks Jerry
What would the music world ever have done without you?
Thank you.
A national treasure to be cherished forever! Thanks,, beautifully done!
a national treasure indeed. miss you, Jerry. I love you more than words can tell...
the night before the long awaited first live unbroken chain in philly that was shot heard round the world , was my favorite garcia memory , jerry said his all time favorite song was visions of johana, i still feel the slime of the spectrum steps ,his gigantic shit eating grin while delivering the mona lisa verse , but more than anything i remember the phantom feeling ,cutting through my soul ,of his delicate solos that made tears roll out my eyes as dnt poured out of my glands orgasmically sponging up the undescribable healing magic of the rainbow warrior shinning light into the darkness of my soul . all these years later the tears still roll the spine tingles the smells return and the heart loves and soul heals thank you for posting
love ya bro, rip big bear
peace to you doug , may the light cotinue to shine on you
ps, june 19 th 1991 , was one of my favorite post brent shows , and favorite shows period , super late taking the stage summer tour giants stadium, the norm was first set usually ended just at sundown, well no band as of 9pm pitch black ,,,,, good things came to those who wait , the band came out smoking from opening to close and for the first and only time opened a show with eyes of the world , big bear ,was animated beaming dancing and feeling like rocking , i think hornsby had recently gone to the press about some nights the band just mails it in ,,, and nobody plays hoops with me at the ymca on tour , and other goofy shit , well jerry took the student put him on the hot seat , and blew bruces little mind , not letting him off the hook the sheepish grin on hornsby face is priceless , and you can actually see a dunce cap manifest for a split second or two , butt the great pthing is awesome videos and audios widely available for this show , 06/19/1991 the whole show is awesome but for the 25 year anniversary a few days ago watch the complete eyes opener when you have a moment to enjoy , sorry if im preaching to the choir here as i probably am , but the multi cam videos that exist was broadcast on national television for a series called in concert, hope your still seeing some live music doug, and your nice reply made my day , might try new riders of purp sage in philly friday , and might try to make starlake amphitheater july 7or 8th i think in burgettstown pa . for dead and company , who have been turning quite a few heads , and converting alot of critics anyhow hope all is kind lovely and peaceful and safe my brother

RIP Jer, we miss you more than words can tell.....yup....thanks Jerry!!!
no place left to go....AINT THAT A SHAME!.....Miss ya Jerry
It's always heart wrenching for me to see Jerry at the end, especially this particular So Many Roads. The man I idolized and loved dearly during my youth, near the end and so very tired and frail. The music of the Grateful Dead provided the lions share of the soundtrack of my life, but it was always Jerry in particular who touched something deeper. He left us way too soon. In his absence we have his legacy of music, but it pales beside the man himself. RIP Jerry and thanks again.
Thanks for this cosmic goodness.
Oh Jerry, .. what a long strange trip its been .... forever in our hearts. Forever.
Wheatskins, Thank you. Somewhere along the way, you learned something about something, thank you for taking the time.
Very Moving----Thank you. Long time-Many Shows-Many memories-May they Not Fade Away.
Jerry wept through his fingers on the keyboards, we wept and sometimes still weep as our loss manifests itself in ways we never imagined...Even though his voice cracked with the years, it seemed his fingers remembered every jam that didnt quite work, every errant note that lingered too long and in the 90's his fingers were already knocking on heavens door playing the music of the angels...RIP friends!
Thank you and god bless
I've been on a pilgrimage, kinda. I've been rediscovering Jerry and it's like new all over again. So many shows I missed. After experiencing Jerry Day a few years back, I realize all I missed.
this is a most beauty full loving and heartfelt tribute to the good man himself...thank you for making and sharing this..Jerry Garcia eases my soul..thank you for all your good loving Jerry Garcia..

Who the F would put a thumbs down to this??? Thanks Wheatskins! Great compilation you put together... THE FAT MAN ROCKS! THANKS JERRY, YOU MAKE MY EARS SMILE!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A+
Smile :) Smile :) smile :) Thank You So Much! :) I love what you created for us all! Awesome! :)
Thank you for the beautiful memories... and now Mark weeps, for all lost and gained. Namaste! 😪
He played into being for us a crystalline labyrinth of all sorrow and joy
And the acid was SOLID brother...
to all the richmond virginia kids of GRACE STREET.. those with us and those who past away..what a show it was.
That "I Shall Not Be Released".... Chills
Nicely done. I especially like the beginning when Jerry says he'd like to be remembered as a competent musician. You have to admire someone that humble, especially when you're one of the greatest guitar players of all time, if not the greatest.
happy birthday uncle jerry g
I shared this on FB tonight because you have really captured what made Jerry so special. He certainly did weep when he sang and played. That So Many Roads in Chicago was just so special. It brings tears to my eyes to listen to it. Perfect.
Thank you thank you thank you.I was at the Peggy O performance in Washington DC.Awesome Job!
I love you guys,bless u all,you are surrounded by angels.
WOW .. I haven't felt this good since that time up in Buffalo when I accidently wandered into another dimension clucking like a chicken during "Little Red Rooster". .. I loved playing this video.
I was there for this Peggio.... fun night in the Desert
"I shall be released" gives me chills...wow, what an incredible performance.
I can't stop watching this. Lovely collection. I've gotten to the Standing on the Moon which I have to say was one of the most memorable moments for me seeing the band live. We had seats about 14 rows back which was nice. Aside from the weirdness of interpersonal stuff that day, that was a special day and show. Thanks for this collection!
Thank You
Jerry and the Dead will be remembered and loved long after the last of us Dead Heads are dead and buried.
Super fantastic.....
many thanx for the intro to this GREAT musician!!!

Bravo my good man, Bravo!!
Thank you Wheatskins! I still maintain that it wasn't a guitar that Jerry played but a six-string magic box. I can see where he says that each note has its own distinct color.
Thanks a lot.
thanks for putting this together it's a Jerry day for me today , bitter sweat , love him, miss him :) :(
I got genuinely teared up at the end during So Many Roads - I'd heard the footage before, but seeing him just wrench those notes from his voice and just soar, well...let's just say there will never, EVER be another Jerry Garcia.
First & Foremost Thank You!!! Blessed to have gone to 178 shows between 77 & 95 which made me the man I am today
Jerrys playing reached a peak in the mid eighties although some 89 shows were dope.
All the 80 s were good I was there most of the time & it was always amazing to me on how I felt after ! Indescribable love for him !
