I just really love the time when Brent was with the band. He could really make the songs sound "lush" and somehow give them a rich context. He would also play very well together with Garcia.
I just pulled this up and played in memory of my friend of 35 years and my tour buddy for more shows than I can count. I'm 63. She was a few years older. RIP my dear friend, Maggie Elliott.
wow.....This is so on..I love watching their guitars..I could feel each note in my brain...The communication between Bobby and Jerry is priceless when bob is giving jerry the ok to switch off vocals...and jerry'solo is killllllller!!!!! Thanks for uploading
After going the night before which boasts the epic DEW and then attending a wedding the next afternoon some friends and I took the LIRR into Penn Station and the craziness ensued. Coming up the stairs onto 7th ave was always worth the price of admission.I was in the 18th row for this. Solid show all around.
THEY ROCK! THE WHOLE DAMN F'N SONG ROCKS!! THE LYRICS ARE SO MEANINGFUL!! THINK BACK, KIDDO'S!! THIS CAME OUT DURING VIETNAM WAR DRAFT = MAGGIE'S FARM!! DOH!!!
@srruckoldt LOL - I always noticed that... so funny. Also- gotta be some lyrical que's on Jerry's mic? little piece of paper taped for close reference. He looks at it a couple of times... classic. Saw my 2nd and 3rd show (Providence) either a few days after/before this. DAMN I LOVE THESE VIDS - THANK U FOR POSTING
I know what you mean. I miss Uncle Jer more each day too. It was more than a man that died on that day. It was something much bigger and it seems to be gone forever. Oh well...
Not tryin to piss off any Dylan fan's, but the only time i like his songs, is when the Dead are singin em...... Different energy, and vocals you can actually understand.... sweet.
i here ya art 100 percent although there are a few songs i enjoy bob singing tangled up in blue actually thats the only song i would listen to dylan sing...
@artsmith1972 I agree, the Dead were some of the better interpreters of Dylan, same with the Byrds, especially in their later years. But Dylan always did "All Along the Watchtower" with the arrangement Hendrix used, he thought Jimi did it better then he did.
yup, I was there too for this insane run of garden shows. Got miracled into 2 but had ticket already so I gave em away to a great old couple of heads. Damn those were the days. Thanks Jer
Poor Jerry forgets the lyrics at the end of the first verse.... it should be "he fines you every time you slam the door". Please don't hammer me on this, I'm just sayin'. I love hearing the Dead play this masterpiece...
NebraskAlaska i don't usually respond to stuff like this, but i really feel the need to say that jerry has more style and groove in his stubby finger than tom morello will ever even hope for. lol
I could listen to this ALL day & not get tired. Jerry & Bobby were SO connected that night. Love the trade-off vocals.
The Dead were unparalleled interpreters of Dylan songs, and this performance proves it!
I just really love the time when Brent was with the band. He could really make the songs sound "lush" and somehow give them a rich context. He would also play very well together with Garcia.
there is nothing else like the dead...
changed my mind set to see this come up...
thank you... i needed my spirit lifted....

Thanks to all you Heads who had the wisdom to record these shows when recording was a novelty- Jah Bless!

@Reckoning888
I agree with you. Brent really did add a lushness and richness to their songs.
I loved Brent: )
BRAVO! BRAVO! I could listen to this all day, it's got such a great groove to it!
I was at this show but never saw the footage.....pretty cool...
What a phenomenal performance
Thank u so much for sharing it here
Jerry's banjo chops are evident here. Love this stuff
Played with bd on that summer of 1987 and old bob said the dead could always find the music in his songs.
This beat is of Tell Me Momma from 1965.

I love the last verse,
Saw them do this with Dylan at Foxboro 88 I believe, Jerry got skinny, like to see one posted from that show, was amazing.
I know what you mean. I miss Uncle Jer more each day too. It was more than a man that died on that day. It was something much bigger and it seems to be gone forever. Oh well...
They be jammin'!
These guys were playing their asses off in this period...
Sing it, Jerry!!
was my lat show before i shipped off to okinawa for 4 years
this is the ideal Mother's Day song, don't you agree?
yea, he's playing real well here
Not tryin to piss off any Dylan fan's, but the only time i like his songs, is when the Dead are singin em......
Different energy, and vocals you can actually understand.... sweet.
Bob wrote it Jerry and Bob W perfected it!!!!!!!boo yaa
And Rage Against the Machine started a riot with it! \m/

i here ya art 100 percent although there are a few songs i enjoy bob singing tangled up in blue actually thats the only song i would listen to dylan sing...

Wasn't this shown during the Farm Aid telecast that year? I recall them showing them doing this song.
Sweeeet!!!

Great run in '87. Best year since '77????
" they should have done a version that was good " ? are we listening to they same performance ? because this is SICK !
Jerry was looking good!
the opening kinda sounds like cumberland blues, great song
Poor Jerry forgets the lyrics at the end of the first verse.... it should be "he fines you every time you slam the door". Please don't hammer me on this, I'm just sayin'. I love hearing the Dead play this masterpiece...
Great Guitar Riffs ..Must Be Cool Playing In Shorts..Yee Haaa
Yep!!!...:)0(:..
I like rage against the machine's version too
Jerry's using the Tiger Rose custom
@swilliams9511 Were they picked from a farm?
@swilliams9511 Nothin' like Brent on the Hammond B3!!!
What brand of guitars are they using ?
Jerry should have done a slower version where he sang
They should have done a version that was good.
@TNAisWWEv2 How about Phil on the last verse. Can't find it?
bobby has an Ibanez, and jerry's is custom
go Brent, samokiiiiiin
wuz thier
He sure did, I'd love to know what happened to them, if his widow donated them or what
UPDATE-The owner of the Indianapolis Colts owns 2 of Jerry's guitars
2 people did not like this?
@SlowGas
Haha....Da Ballhuggers.
She's 58 but she says she's 24.
@Corrupt5358 I bet your all of 14 years old.
ain't jerry the coolest?
I like Rage's version better...

NebraskAlaska no one cares about your shitty opinion 😂
