That's the best. A band is about the music it produces - and nothing else. Anything fans do is what the fans do. Good or bad. Stop blaming bad or good on the bands. Censorship will never stop the goodness in people's hearts. Dead or ICP. Just don't be a cultist who judges non fans.
I sometimes wonder what those Dead shows would have been like with smart phones. Mostly negatives of course but finding friends in the parking lots or in the concert would have been much easier !

I liked the last lady news caster. Not something she would have done on her own but she was open minded enough to enjoy herself and she sounded like she actually got it. She actually had a real Grateful Dead experience. ✌

Wow this brought back memories! Thanks for posting. I was at the garden in 93 & 94. Saw Jerry band in Providence 91. Nice to see the old hometown news folks too.
My best friend did prison time for Fast Eddie, 1 year out of high school. We all flew out to New York for the shows, him and Skydog Steve Williams got busted by Feds and I was left out there with no plane ticket home since my buddy had the tickets when he got busted. This was the 2nd show I'd ever been to. I knew no one except Fast Eddie, Ira, and my friends that were now about to go to prison. So that's how I was baptized by fire, hitchhiked all up and down the East Coast for Summer Tour, it was the best and worst thing that ever happened to me.
I had just gotten out of the Navy and went back to my grandparents house in Eastie. I went to two of those Sox Yankee games and all the Dead shows. What a great week of my life that was
2021 -- Born in 60, heard a lot of Dead. This contained 2 of the best lines I've ever heard from Bobby. 1. As long as they don't take it to seriously " new " 2. We are in the business of making music not keeping it ( you shoulda heard that a long time ago Axl ) which may have been a cherry sound. Not to shabby.
@Artie B. Rockin' thank you for your outlook I love it but it makes me sad. I was born too late too see Jerry so in a way the magic for me is still alive, I still study all the live tapes and go to every concert that I can. This is the closest I’ll get to Jerry or Brent and atleast for me, the magic is still there.
My pal Frank in NH taped it all. He wasn't at the shows. I was at all six! Front row for the first and third nights, smack in front of Jerry! Good memories.
The Grateful Dead was the glue that held the world together for the last half of a century. So now instead of being able to follow the Dead, the world has lost its way with no direction anymore. RIP Jerry Fast Eddie RIP, he was everywhere
It seems the last show(s) at Boston Garden (before the Fall 1991 shows) - were in Fall of 1982. From what I read they got "banned" by management for supposedly barbecueing on the fire escape - literally on the metal grate stairs.
How nice to see them welcome into the city on the News. It was not the same in Atlanta. DC the Police were doing wheelies on their Harley's in the parking lot as Deadheads cheered them on. No matter where the Show was it was Over The Top FUN once you got inside!
It was really something.. everyones there..we were home..and in the thick of it I look over & the street sign says Tremont street..it was sure nice to have it there ..being from there myself. Last time too it was.
I went with friends and saw them in ‘91-‘92 at Sam Boyd at UNLV in Vegas. I wanted to see Steve Miller Band more than the Dead lol, but the Dead were great, ended up liking them. I found a killer bag of pot in the Slots of Fun bathroom, all rolled up in a baggy, best weed ever had back then. Sting played the ‘92 year, he sucked, totally boring. Some idiot tried to sell us grocery store mushrooms all sliced up, my buddy worked produce at a grocery store and called him out on it, the loser ran off. Lol
I was there and bought tickets in the parking lot at Sam Boyd. Made it through the first two checkpoints and the got kicked out at the third checkpoint. The tickets we bought were counterfeit unfortunately. We made up for it by seeing them in Kansas City and Denver in the summer of 91.
I'm just getting into the Dead deeper although I've been familiar for decades... interesting quote from Weir saying some people may be taking their music too seriously...
What great nostalgia... Unfortunately, I didnt get into the dead until about 5-6 years ago. A bunch of my friends were huge into the dead in high school and college, and went to a few shows. Seems like the older i got, the more i got into them. Now, oddly enough its pretty much all I listen to. Which is disappointing in a way. If they were still around (the original band) Id follow them anywhere.
OF COURSE.... Fast Eddie makes an appearance. A younger fast eddies who can apparently do cartwheels. Whenever there is anything about the dead on TV fast eddie is featured
Wherever the dead played, the cops budget went "ching ching' God forbid you people find some god damned FUN! I miss the Dead, saw them twice at RFK when I was a kid. So fun! I was against drugs of all kinds then, so don't think I anticipated/used the drug element. To me it actually WAS 'good clean fun.'
_''When I was working, it was all bands like Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. It's not like the Grateful Dead are still touring, is it?''_ - Del Preston
I had a dead head friend. He was very upset when Jerry passed. I told him it would be OK. Jerry would have a gig in heaven, as Kurt cobain's roadie. He didn't laugh.
You do know he made him famous so that he'd quit following him around right? and so he'd move out of Jerry's rental property he was past due rent on? That's why you didn't get a laugh.
@@athenairene2497 either way, he knew I was from Cleveland somehow... plus, the more hits a post gets, the more it gets spread around, so we are all helping out the cause!!!
Wonder how much Fast Eddie would be slingin cartwheels for these days? More than a dollar I assure you. Met that legend vía his punk rock wifey in 95/96.
@1:53 the mayor was disappointed later when no one bought hotel rooms or any of that - but instead just camped out in parks rollin n tripping balls bartering n shit like that
I dated a deadhead in the mid 90s for a while. After a while the drinking and drugs became too unbearable. In college I hated the Dead but later came to appreciate them a lot more. It was many of the deadheads I disliked. Lazy and smooching off of their parents. Not all of course, but definitely quite a few.
The guy at 1:42 that said “they’re a really good band man....you know?” Gets it
Yup, 100%.🎶
That's the best.

Wonderful seeing everyone being human without the distractions of smart phones...Damn I miss those days.
So do I.

Lol she did it because it was her job lol Bill Weld who was the Governor at the time was at every show!!
Dixie Whately was cool AF...old school entertainment reporter in Boston who seem to like her job
I 1st saw the Dead in 1973 at the old Boston Garden,I was 15,I won the tix on wbcn,that was the start of 150+ shows.
They never played at the new Boston Garden lol

Everything you said.
“You don’t look like a dead head” . They come in all shapes and sizes
Many of the best people I’ve had good times w were / are Deadheads. Long live the Dead.
"Good clean fun"
On heroin, yay
Lol
@@Jordan__Sloan most weren't on heroin, but many were on coke and acid

Oh how I miss the early 90s before tech took over our lives and when being a human was more than enough.
Half Time Pizza and the old elevated train tracks... Nice look back at a different era of Boston.
Long live the dead vibe
The early 90's was the last of the great big adventures times.

I’ve heard about that fast Eddie guy, mostly bad
@@Jordan__Sloan must’ve heard that from bad people
Fed Eddie
What does “did prison tune for fast Eddie” even mean? Like Ed got busted and you friend took the fall or your friend was set up?
On how many evening newscasts do you get to hear, “She shot him in the balls?”
That left me, 'staggered'.
Smthn like in fear n loathing but real life!
I was at all 6 shows!
I saw them this year on the Spring tour in Atlanta. What a blessing. Not a day I dont play their music while I'm Painting and working.
I had just gotten out of the Navy and went back to my grandparents house in Eastie. I went to two of those Sox Yankee games and all the Dead shows. What a great week of my life that was

I’m from south of Boston, seeing Dead and Co still performing and all these newscasters are long gone speaks volumes to the music’s longevity!
JRAD plays it best

Thank you for posting this.
My first dead show was 9:2491.
Great video about that week
Thanks for posting this brought back a lot of awesome memories!!
Wow! I went to (a few) of the '91 Boston Garden shows, so this was certainly interesting to watch.
Fast Ed always making a hustle... RIP
My pal Frank in NH taped it all. He wasn't at the shows. I was at all six! Front row for the first and third nights, smack in front of Jerry! Good memories.
I went to all six too.
Did all six. Front row smack in front of Jerry for the last night.
Best part of the dead… they capture all people! All shapes sizes looks professions mind sets Everyone!!!❤️
It's cool to realize how many of the "hippies" go home the next day and go to work as doctors, and lawyers, and suits of all stripes
Awesome. Thank you for sharing this.
Dead Heads are the best people! So sweet and kind
That we are!!!(~);}❤️💀🌹⚡🐢🍄🎶
My last show!!!! I didnt know it at the time...
It’s wild that the Grateful Dead has been around since the 60s.
They Know the Dead People better than anyone else. ✌️
I was there too....
Thanks for posting. That was a fun blast from the past.
I was at the Gahdin on 9/22/91 my first show....one of many!!
A surprisingly good summary.
These shows are fire, as is a lot of 91’.
9/24/91 is one of my all time favorite shows! I was gifted a tape of it when i was a teen and still kno every single second by heart!
Pine knob too.
The 90-91 tours were absolutely unbelievable. The Dead at the height of their powers.
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for collection of news clips!
Beautiful, RIP Jerry
Freedom ended around 1998, this was nice to see.
Man, remember when a cartwheel was only a dollar? Those were the days

Depends on which world you choose to live in. Through proper channeling of my delusional day dreams it's still 1988.

They had their hibachi grilling lobsters out on a fire escape stairs DUUUUUUUDDDDEEED
Uh... they did grill on the fire escape, but that's sooo not why
These were the happiest years of my life

This is so relevant to today…. And I miss Liz Walker!
Friday, September 20, 1991.
I believe this is the (one and only) night they performed Help>Slip>Fire
I'm pretty sure that the last news anchor could've been converted. She saw a twinkle of the light.
I think she’s on the bus!
“And a little later, it’s a wild flashback to the 60s” ,cut to Bob Weir “ It’s too late, too late!!”.
