Nothing more American than the Grateful Dead. Then again, they seem to be relatable to EVERY human experience no matter where you're from. They played for their lives and our lives as well. God bless em!
San Rafael Marin County San Francisco California I'm a spiteful man I am a vengeful man I am a sick man doctor said Son you have Jerry myelitis no cure no remedy just Botanical augmentation and the melody Rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran Desert half a mile from by the borderline
You're really silly. Not one member of the band would want you to be all silly-patriot-twat. And no right-thinking person on the planet would want it either. Get real.
It's amazing that the band manages to squeeze so much new, great and inventive material out of a song vein that seemed to have been thoroughly explored 20 years earlier!😃
This is a pretty special rendition of this medley! Very musical all around; everyone shines here! This may be my favorite performance of China-Rider ever.
I remember once at a show in 89 (or there abouts) at the second I wish I was a headlight the lights swung out into the crowd and the crowd's response was legendary. One of the best feelings I ever experienced at a Dead show. Someone said Jerry did a little hop.
t'was a special moment for sure, I saw Jerry do a little hop playing Dear Mr Fantasy in Irvine Meadows in the 80's .. t'was very special moment for me too.
Hell ya I was there my second trip up to Shoreline The vibe is still alive dancing my way back to my mail order Loge seat with a micro brew in my hand honestly could not imagine a finer place at any other time in my life
This is my favorite rendition. Shoreline 90 my all time fave shows. G.D were simply on fire and they looked so comfortable with F.X never do i tire with anything in this era..
I can honestly say... It's awesome to hear crystal clear individuality of them playing. When I/ we were there, it was real time. The feeling was awesome. Then had got a dubbed 4th generation tape that wasn't clear. But we could tell difference...
I love that around 2:11 when Jerry tries to go to MIDI for the second part of the solo you can practically see his brain say "where are the trumpets? There are supposed to be trumpets. " Then around 2:43, right before the 3rd verse, he summons Parrish with a finger wave to fix it. Garcia plays a holding pattern until Parrish fixes it around 5:37, then plays ANOTHER round to do an on- stage soundtrack with the MIDI, then draws it out, THEN they do the climax before I Know You Rider! This is like 3 transitions and subsequently AWESOME!
Other versions this same year have the midi trumpets at that point of the solo. And trumpets are the main sound once Parrish fixes the midi a during the jam
CRAZY ChinaRider, holy cow it's good! I really miss seeing Jerry, Bobby, Phil, etc, and getting to hear this combo, followed by Terrapin and then the killer Dew, while they played outdoor on a hot summer night! The mighty Grateful Dead 😊
Unfortunately I never saw them live but this is the next best thing! A good friend of mine just turned me on to these two for the price of one fabulous song(s)!! Ty !! 💠💠💠 That bass line is marvelous and carries the groove along - what a Happy Hopeful Sound, the sax Oh, My, 🌻🌻🌻
@@rayboden1264 “It IS?” 🤭 I feel like the village idiot as I looked for the sax musician and didn’t see one and guessed - wrong! ha! Jerry’s got a special kinda magic while strumming those strings - how does he do it? David Sanborn the jazz sax player passed this week at age 78 & I’ve been listening to him a lot. R.I.P. David 🎷🤍🤍🤍
At times the lack of Garcia's camera angle is excruciating. But holy shit it's so good. He absolutely schools them all at the transition crescendo. Like MJ dunking on the whole team one by one. Priceless.
Always wondered what Bill and Mickey talk about..looks like just casual conversation.."How's the kids Bill?".."They're good..started school this week"......
One show, my girlfriend sat on the bench with Bob and Jerry during Drums. She said Jerry was telling Bob about a cartoon he saw on TV that afternoon. LOL
@@woodzieniles5373 That actually sounds realistic. Want to know why? Because famous musicians spend most of their time pent up in hotel rooms on tour when they're not home.
Jose Villarreal especially the Dead. Kind of sad, in a way.. The woman I was talking about was friends with the folks at Winterland Productions. They sent her backstage passes for each tour. She offered them to me too, but since I wasn't a beautiful woman or have enough "supplies" to share, I felt like I'd just be in the way backstage. "Hi Jerry! I like the way you play guitar." 😑 As much fun as the coliseum hallways were, now I kind of wish I would have gone back and met them at least once. When I'd ask, Monica, my girlfriend, told me bits about what each member did backstage. Mickey mostly hung out by himself away from everyone and constantly drummed on a practice pad. Phil was her favorite. They got along the best. He was the only one to wake up early like her. Sometimes, he'd meet her for breakfast at the hotel dinning room. She went to more shows than me. I went to a LOT, but after a week or so, I would miss my woods and animals, and head back home. I still have a stack of passes. I keep them in my "Go to Heaven" LP.
My favorite version for sure, lots of people don't like Jerry's midi but i think it works well here, his playing is top notch, combine that with Phil and Bobby's excellent rhythm and you got one of the best jams of '90
Tim Malloy He really dominates throughout the entire two songs. Garcia is clearly studying him intently as Weir directs the course of the song, and Phil is also paying very close attention and cueing off him.
Weir might be the most unique rhythm player in rock. His accents, tempo, "off" notes. Unlike anyone else. Had the pleasure of seeing him 2 years ago on the Bob Weir & Wolf Bros tour and it was awesome
Jerry is something to behold right when he’s into the second half of his solo on “Rider”, when his guitar begins to “whale.” I can picture being on that midnight train screaming through the rain.
Excellent, but for me, I always prefer the early 70s much more for this tune and many other from that particular repertoire. It was such a showcase for Bobby and one of his very few leads. Not sure if it was by choice, but he’s WAY scaled back by this point and Jerry has all but taken over the lead in the transition section. And nothing against Brent or even Donna when she did it, but when it was the three part harmony from Bob, Jerry and Phil, I just can’t get enough.
loved the mid 80’s setlists, but as far as being tight I think the peak was the last few years into Brent’s death,…this video captures it,…I remember saying to myself in 1990 at the Spectrum “there’s no way music can sound better than this”,…to this day I still think I was correct lol
It’s a GOOD THING Jerry, Bob, and Phil “ pulled out of it around 9:30, the drummers faces looked like they were about to melt off!! Lmao!! Take a good look!!!
People comment on the sound or the mix, that's because by this time their mojo was on fire.....If you were there like I was, you know.....Sound 89-90 was off the chain!!!!!

Damn these guys are sure sounding great.This is America being Great.
exactly!
🎶🇺🇸 Wave that flag, wave it WIDE and HIGH 🎸🎤🤍
ULTRA MAGA!
Somebody once asked me what’s the best part of the United States ? I answered the Grateful Dead.
🇺🇲⚡♥️🤍💙⚡🇺🇲😎
It's the best part of Cuba also if you got your tapes
The drumming, the bass, the guitars, this is awesome
there ain't no better testament to America being Great than this. Will live on for centuries

Beautifully written, thank you.
😊😊
The Navy is more American......I'm a big Phil Phan.....I'm just saying
It's amazing that the band manages to squeeze so much new, great and inventive material out of a song vein that seemed to have been thoroughly explored 20 years earlier!😃
The mix! The music! EVERYTHING about this!! Christ on a pony!!!
Bobby is so underrated, just listen to he both guides and fills in
He's the best
Bobby give good rhythm !
Bobby is deeply tuned into Jerry and omnipresent with the band's 30 year tour, has carried the torch since. He's a musical dynamo.
It is great that on this mix you can actually hear him!!! Really clean mix!
This is a pretty special rendition of this medley! Very musical all around; everyone shines here! This may be my favorite performance of China-Rider ever.
It's built for improvisation, for interpretation, for experimentation, for interpretation. Music performed well is a thing of beauty.
Ever, period.
I remember this show! What an amazing way to grow up. I am thankful every day for getting to see them so many times.
its been a long strange trip since then but I swear I met some guys flying a flag on their micro bus that said Cap'NTrips. what are the odds?
I remember once at a show in 89 (or there abouts) at the second I wish I was a headlight the lights swung out into the crowd and the crowd's response was legendary. One of the best feelings I ever experienced at a Dead show. Someone said Jerry did a little hop.
That’s it those magic moments when seeing the Dead!
I think I seen that.
t'was a special moment for sure, I saw Jerry do a little hop playing Dear Mr Fantasy in Irvine Meadows in the 80's .. t'was very special moment for me too.
Hell ya
I was there my second trip up to Shoreline
The vibe is still alive dancing my way back to my mail order Loge seat with a micro brew in my hand honestly could not imagine a finer place at any other time in my life
I LOVE THIS
One of my favorite songs ever!
there are two songs for the price of one
It has been my eternal favorite from the second I heard it in '95
“The sun ☀️ will shine in my back door someday “
@@laurasearing7125yes, yes it does
This is my favorite rendition. Shoreline 90 my all time fave shows. G.D were simply on fire and they looked so comfortable with F.X never do i tire with anything in this era..
Trumpet 🎺 loved it when he did that
This takes away all depression !
WOW! now that"s a china rider. Been craving a good one on my couch tour FOUND IT! Thanks my kind friend much love.
Definitely one of the coolest versions of China Cat/Rider I ever heard.
I prefer early 70's without all the MIDI shit
But I get the experimentation
Yes its Great so happy music
Check out Rochester 87
...and this is the best version of Franklins tower since Jerry passed! ruclips.net/video/pK4KEDBdftk/видео.html
that transition is unbelievable.. wow
I can honestly say... It's awesome to hear crystal clear individuality of them playing. When I/ we were there, it was real time. The feeling was awesome. Then had got a dubbed 4th generation tape that wasn't clear. But we could tell difference...

This is like 3 transitions and subsequently AWESOME!
I loved the stuff Jerry was doing with midi in late ‘89 to mid ‘90, like nothing else musically I’ve ever heard
Yeah, true, the MIDI stuff was killer @@matthewcrooks510
I agree with you something is up at the times you indicate......but midi trumputs?
Other versions this same year have the midi trumpets at that point of the solo. And trumpets are the main sound once Parrish fixes the midi a during the jam
@@glenngrasso9290 interesting......you got a specific date I can check out?......an example perhaps?.....take your time, it's a friendly ask
Bobby with the hoodie! So class
Down and Dirty with the segue lol wow! love it! Bobby up in the mix...sounding GREAT!
This is my favorite post coma China>Rider.......Wish I would have been there :(
I would say this was their best sounding year.
Jerry and Brent the dynamic duo!!!
damn Jerry and Weir sure are sounding awesome!
This is one of Bobby's best songs--Killer rhythm for Jerry.
Bob was great rhythm player, bestest, knew a million chords and could play lead great also on some songs when Jerry was singing
The China Rider transition has always been my favorite Bobby stuff, the leads that he plays in there, dating beck to like ‘73-74 have been the best
CRAZY ChinaRider, holy cow it's good! I really miss seeing Jerry, Bobby, Phil, etc, and getting to hear this combo, followed by Terrapin and then the killer Dew, while they played outdoor on a hot summer night! The mighty Grateful Dead 😊
I fall in love with the music that makes me forget the time
Wow wow wow, first time listen.
Unfortunately I never saw them live but this is the next best thing! A good friend of mine just turned me on to these two for the price of one fabulous song(s)!!
Ty !! 💠💠💠 That bass line is marvelous and carries the groove along - what a Happy Hopeful Sound, the sax Oh, My, 🌻🌻🌻
The "sax" is Jerry's guitar 😃
@@rayboden1264 “It IS?” 🤭 I feel like the village idiot as I looked for the sax musician and didn’t see one and guessed - wrong! ha!
Jerry’s got a special kinda magic while strumming those strings - how does he do it? David Sanborn the jazz sax player passed this week at age 78 & I’ve been listening to him a lot. R.I.P. David 🎷🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for the upload! What a night this was! Something happened during intermission that I remember it as if it were yesterday. (~);}
Just Jerry an awesome legend amazing timeless chemistry
They could have played that for 2 hours and it would have been a great show on its own. Thank you for posting this. Wow!
Nobody has ever understood rhythm like Bobby.
yo Weir you are in my Hall of Fame for being the best rhythm guitar player on the continent
Human and lovely all over the place.
Greetings!
Norway this time
Garcia's hammer and pull-off style shine during the extended MIDI transition (Thanks Blown Speaker)
RIP Brent !
Excellent recording!!!!
to me this combo is the most quintessential grateful dead. 60s psychedelica that segues into one of the great classics of americana.
I think of all the places I have been too on tour.,I am blessed
I miss you Jerry
Jerry: You know guys, I'd really like to bring in a full time horn player. Band: No way. Jerry: Cool, check this shit out. 5:37
go f youself Robert
Che meraviglia!! Sono in estasi!!
So grateful IWT 🌹
This is just awesome!
Miss it all....
God damn! What a mix on the sound! And, oh, umm, God DAMN!!!
my favorite song-s
E' la piu' bella versione di China Cat Sunflower che io abbia mai sentito. Grazie ancora pitty 3463. :)
love love love!
Awesomeness 😅!
Splendida clip. Grazie :)
Nobody could bring the house down like Jerry....Nobody!!!!!!.....
Artistically and literally all at once LOL
the Dead without Jerry .. like the Doors without Morrison
At times the lack of Garcia's camera angle is excruciating. But holy shit it's so good. He absolutely schools them all at the transition crescendo. Like MJ dunking on the whole team one by one. Priceless.
Always wondered what Bill and Mickey talk about..looks like just casual conversation.."How's the kids Bill?".."They're good..started school this week"......
Keith Smerek if u watch scarlet from 7/7/89 you’ll see them talk about something
Probably more like "look at the rack on the girl in the red down there!"
One show, my girlfriend sat on the bench with Bob and Jerry during Drums. She said Jerry was telling Bob about a cartoon he saw on TV that afternoon. LOL
@@woodzieniles5373 That actually sounds realistic. Want to know why? Because famous musicians spend most of their time pent up in hotel rooms on tour when they're not home.

Love the hoodie.....
We love you Phil...
one of my favorite Dead combos.nice post
Epic!
Samuel Godsey doesn't get much better than this!
Great 90 midi version... the best!!!
My favorite version for sure, lots of people don't like Jerry's midi but i think it works well here, his playing is top notch, combine that with Phil and Bobby's excellent rhythm and you got one of the best jams of '90
I don't like it thought it unnecessary, but still great version
Nice licks by Bobby here.....
Tim Malloy He really dominates throughout the entire two songs. Garcia is clearly studying him intently as Weir directs the course of the song, and Phil is also paying very close attention and cueing off him.
Most intricate rhythm player ever i think
Weir might be the most unique rhythm player in rock. His accents, tempo, "off" notes. Unlike anyone else. Had the pleasure of seeing him 2 years ago on the Bob Weir & Wolf Bros tour and it was awesome
Yes love this band
This, plus headphones=Lesh bombs.
I like it when they jam 🏴☠️
⚡♥️🤍💙⚡🇺🇲😎🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶
i was there 3 shows cal expo two jerry band shows and 3 shoreline.
Exquisite
Jerry is something to behold right when he’s into the second half of his solo on “Rider”, when his guitar begins to “whale.” I can picture being on that midnight train screaming through the rain.
Just woke up and yeah, I'm still in heaven.
Excellent, but for me, I always prefer the early 70s much more for this tune and many other from that particular repertoire. It was such a showcase for Bobby and one of his very few leads. Not sure if it was by choice, but he’s WAY scaled back by this point and Jerry has all but taken over the lead in the transition section. And nothing against Brent or even Donna when she did it, but when it was the three part harmony from Bob, Jerry and Phil, I just can’t get enough.
Some great guitars here! 😁
Legendary.
Goosebumps from the jam
awesome
Nature's essence
I was there!
The 3 tours before Brent died were absolutely heaven....
The DEAD will LIVE on forever!
Wow
loved the mid 80’s setlists, but as far as being tight I think the peak was the last few years into Brent’s death,…this video captures it,…I remember saying to myself in 1990 at the Spectrum “there’s no way music can sound better than this”,…to this day I still think I was correct lol
Shoreline baby!!
Agree, this is pretty exceptional.
God damn ads....right in the middle of a terrific riff....still, FABULOUS!!! Sorta remember this and, then the acid kicked in....ahem
It’s a GOOD THING Jerry, Bob, and Phil “ pulled out of it around 9:30, the drummers faces looked like they were about to melt off!! Lmao!! Take a good look!!!
LOVE Brent
😜🤣Jerry punches on the midi sax at 5:40, confirming what I've read that he tried to bring in a sax player much to everyone's resistance~
He had Bradford marsalis on top and my God he Is one of the BEST saxaphone players ever in history!!
The Dead could sell out any arena constantly by just showing up and playing. Don't even need to sing. At, least when they still had Brent.
People comment on the sound or the mix, that's because by this time their mojo was on fire.....If you were there like I was, you know.....Sound 89-90 was off the chain!!!!!
Gotta love Bobbie singing out of turn and lyric
In my mind this is an expression of how to make peace. Whole way in some minutes. Why it still seems so difficult?
sweet hoodie, bob
God, I miss Jerry....
This is from my favorite ever.. So fill me in, was shoreline at the top of their venues to play ? Listening as I write and they are on fire here.
Music plays the band!
Phil really turned it up on this one huh? Sounds good on the large Advents. I wonder if I was at that one. Hum.... cant remember
Beast Mode!
I like that I can hear Bob well, but I wish Brent was higher in the mix.
great mix......i can hear jerry, bobby and phils bass is super low........ if u do not own a subwoofer, this is a good reason to buy one :)
