Thanks for posting. I wasn't sure what the END would look or feel like. It was a good 8 years, and I'm glad they ended on a good note. Peace & Blessings to ALL.
wow this is heart wrenching, even with all the other cover bands this still feels like the end of an era, we were blessed to have shared the planet with the grateful dead...thanks for sharing...Not fade away ~~~
I felt the same way at night 2 at Citi last month, walking shakedown before the showing started getting choked up I HOPE there is a new configuration next year 🙏 TMNS NFA
Thank you for posting , loved this run of shows thru the 8 years,thank you to the band and the fans that makes it a great experience! Great song to end with!❤
It gives me chills to think of how enriched our lives have been by what appears to be just a rock and roll band. It was an incredible weekend of love and music ❤️⚡💙
I wasnt there this weekend, and didnt live stream either but couldnt help but shed a tear when those bears started marching at the end. What a fun couple years its been, so many great memories. Our love will NOT fade away! Thank you for capturing this❤
Thanks so very much for getting an old guy like me back on the bus! Went to my first show in 81 and went with my son the last two years. It’s really been a great, fun ride. I’m grateful to have been able to do it again! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So many roads, and theirs has reached a Dead End. 55 years! of being a Dead Head. Thank you Thank you!!! You could always count on The Dead to put you in a good place! End of an Era.
Fun. Thanks for some reason brought a tear to these 67 year old eyes. Sounded pretty good looked pretty good I guess I’m just a sentimental old Deadhead.
John Mayer never , had it , IMO as for the correct vibe . He's a good actor, though. A extremely talented , Julliard graduate. "Guess, His Body is a wonderland, again . " Heard the Dead in 2010 ,first time . " Love seeing folks, in the Bay, however.
I never expected John or Anyone to be anyone other than themselves. That's what Jerry & the fellas wanted - I'm sure. Ya know, sc, these new fellas are from a new era. They never experienced the acid tests or other one-mind sessions that happened in those days. One-mind consciousness rarely comes natural - especially in our modern culture. John loved The Dead long before he met Bobby & Mickey that day at Capitol Records. Don Was chatted with Oteil & Mike on their Comes A Time podcast, and he tells the whole story. Don was the one who introduced John to them. ... I keep thinkin' ... Now, if only Bobby brings John, Oteil & Mickey into his Wolf Bros, All is well and the beat goes on ... with an orchestra, an acoustic And electric bass, & bagpipes 💜
I hadn't seen any of these guys after '95. But my daughter, who was born after that, really wanted me to go. WOW. I had no idea. Low expectations knocked out of the park. I think old Jer would approve. 🎉😅❤
I'm so glad you went! This tour was amazing. I've been able to share many special shows with my daughters since 2015 and my mind was blown every time because the magic was back! It was a great run & I know now this music and this scene will never die
They opened Fridays show with NFA. One person in the chat said and I quote " They will probably end Sundays show with NFA". Now that is some insight. Holy smokes and kudos to that person for one heck of a call !
Gives me chills to watch - thank you for sharing! Must've been so amazing to be there. I hope they do something huge for the 60th/30th & bring back the drones!
Thank You for posting this. I think this tour was Bobby's best year on vocals in a while and he was really on during this show. Great Job Guys, You'll be missed 😢😢❤❤
Thank you for sharing this video! Some of us couldn't make it to the last show and I am glad that you filmed the drone show. Kind of a cool way to put a cap on this version of the band.
Great stuff. So much emotion. Really feels like the end in a way that not even Fare Thee Well did. Good on them for going out strong. Here’s to whatever endeavors they each get into in the future.
I don't think I will hear anyone ecomplain about the Special FX on this Dead Recording, You know our love will not Fade Away... but our cyncism hopefully tails off
I don’t get D&Co. stopping their tours now. This year is the 1st year, of 8, where they actually lifted off & proved that the new members finally are “getting” the oneness of this music. Clearly, Mayer finally gets what his role is, as part of a single sound, as opposed to the hotshot role…. It’s sad that the fresh potential, reached after 8 years of apprenticeship, will not begin. This ending bit (Not Fade Away) was clearly a Bobby’s choice as a fitting ending…. (I would have preferred Black Muddy River after that awesome Trucking) Oh well…..
Feel that. But nothing lasts forever. We got 30 years of Jerry & 8 of DeadCo & everything in between. The old guard deserves to call it whenever they feel called to. Going out on a high note, cant ask for more than that. The music lives on....💀🥀🙏
I’m betting it’s a restructuring of the Dead corporation……..Billy out and a new hired Gun in. Plus, Johnny boy wants to tour on his own so I’d expect some residencies in the future
@@jeff15116 the way I see it, it’s taken eight years for them to actually sound good as the current unit, whether Billie is in there or not. You can’t just stick new people in here and have what they’ve built over eight years. That just cannot happen. John Mayer, if you watch, recent interviews, has only recently realized what his actual role is in this band. Before he was just a hot shot throwing out licks call, but now he finally understands that it’s more a cohesive oneness, which makes the Grateful Dead so amazing. This took him over six years to develop. Only in the last several years has the band really stepped up to the level that is almost respectful in comparison. Good luck with residencies in other such ideas, because the new people are gonna take years to figure out how the game works…… With the age of Bobby, Ed, Mickey, sadly, this truly is the end of the line for D & Co.……
We distributed many of Srila Prabhupada's books and delicious prasadam (pure veg offered to Krsna) to the wonderful deadheads over the years. Great band and followers 🤸🧘
Although I didn't actually go to the concert, my first experience with the Grateful Dead was in Harrisburg, PA when they played City Island. A bunch of us devotees from Gita Nagari traveled down to do sankirtan and book distribution outside the concert. I was probably 11 years old at the time. I didn't realize it at the time. It was many years later before I realized I'd been at a Grateful Dead concert. The Grateful Dead have a history with devotees going back to when Srila Prabhupada chanted at the Mantra Rock Dance in San Francisco with Allen Ginsberg and Moby Grape.
That kit was Billy's and the invitation couldn't have been more clear after that Chicago show where Billy closed the show with NFA. Can't believe he didn't even show up to share the stage. Phil too. Total disappointment at how that all went down. Bobby and Mickey didn't deserve to be alone on that stage this night. They put too much into this along with the rest of us. We deserved better
Awesome show. I get the mixed feelings on Mayer but he was definitely doing better recently and he has a great voice! And even if you don't like him the keyboards and drums have been awesome! Sad to see Dead & Co. go, I assume the guys will keep on going with other projects (although if they're ready to hang it up, they've earned it). So what's next for the Deadheads, will they follow another band?
There are a collection of jam bands out there that have or are gaining dedicated followings, but nothing quite as unified as the Dead IMO. Phish, Billy Strings, and Goose are all excellent
Each to her/his own. Personally I found Mayer to be the only one who has been able to fill that spot. Because he doesn't try to copy Jerry and because he is a top class guitarist. And perhaps most importantly he really understands to play with and around the highly unique style of Bob Weir.
At first most said JM? WTF? He did an excellent job and reality the other choices may have not been up to the level of dedication and perhaps the grace and humility it could take to step up without stepping on toes or being too derivative-Cheers to JM for the big assist and the genuine respect he has shown and spoke of regarding Mr Garcia’s legacy-Thanks John!
Just remember you might be cool but you will never be the Greatest Live Band ever, not close, debuting a brand new effect in their home town to walk off their last show with the fans singing then off cool.

a good note? Are you being serious?
@abriggs1979 Yes, a good note. It's been a great tour & 8 years. Band is going out on their terms, cant ask for than that in clown world.
Great way to close out. Long live the Dead
@@abriggs1979 Why wouldn't it be a good note???
Make it 2 more years, even 10-strip of a run.😊
It Makes So Much Sense To End With Not Fade Away. Thank You D & C
And You For Posting
The Dead have shown me that magic really does exist
It's hard to come by in this world but it is real. NFA 💀🥀🙏
They did...... all the way through '95. From '96 on, the true magic was gone....it left when Captain Trips did.
“Magic is what we do, music is how we do it…” ✌️
🤣
Thank you very much. Means alot to all of us. WE WILL NOT FADE AWAY 😊
The drone effect is so COOL...
Like the Great Jerry is watching from above. Sorry I missed this
Historic evening at my favorite place!

This music will outlive us all. My 11-year-old daughters' favorite band is the dead. blessed to have gotten her to see them this summer!!!
Thank you for posting , loved this run of shows thru the 8 years,thank you to the band and the fans that makes it a great experience! Great song to end with!❤
The music and the magic will not fade away. Long live the Dead!
Wow, sorry to see it end , but it was a fun run!! Thanks from Philly for posting
Thanks for watching!
It gives me chills to think of how enriched our lives have been by what appears to be just a rock and roll band.
It was an incredible weekend of love and music ❤️⚡💙
A band beyond description, like Jehovas favorite choir!!!
Totally agree. Saw all 3 of the SF shows. 6 shows on this tour. Best Dead &Co tour ever.
The Good ‘ol Grateful Dead ya’ll it was like gypsy caravan church dances
Love it! And Bobby’s wearing a sweet hat. Thanks for the memories! Our love will not fade away! 🤠✌🏼🌹
I’m so glad I got off my ass and got to see them, by far best show of the year, can’t wait to see what this next chapter is, I’m all in
👍☮️💟
Billy Strings, Scott Metzger, Oteil, Russo, Lane, & Marco Benevento... PLEASE
I went on Saturday night and it was an awesome show ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Is death a dead end , or new beginnings?
Fare thee well and thank you for another
Another real good time
One of the best nights of my life.
I’m ready for Sphere 2024.
Maxine from Ontario, Canada. ❤️💙🇨🇦
A thousand thank-yous for this post! (First show '78)
My pleasure!
Heck I used to see those things without a drone when jerry was playing
Fun. Thanks for some reason brought a tear to these 67 year old eyes. Sounded pretty good looked pretty good I guess I’m just a sentimental old Deadhead.
No this band will not fade away. John Mayer will rise again like a phoenix from the ashes. Love this whole band and him.
I have been saying this for two years...John is going to do like a jgb thing. Play the dead classics and mix in the 60s soul tunes
@@statmaneleven6096 I say more power to him. Whatever John Mayer does will be nothing less than master class. Like himself. Peace and love my friend.
I hope Mayer continues the legacy with Bobby and Mickeys blessings
@@mac1701e Clearly a perfect ending for a new beginning. John Mayer has all the juice.
I hope John comes back renewed and refreshed and does something great to help revive rock n roll for a few more years.
Thanks for the last song by this iteration of the Dead! Can't wait for Bob and Co.'s next project.
Mayer finally sounded "right" this tour and great vids quality the last weeks. Weir is here, he wont fade away.
John Mayer never , had it , IMO as for the correct vibe . He's a good actor, though. A extremely talented , Julliard graduate. "Guess, His Body is a wonderland, again . " Heard the Dead in 2010 ,first time . " Love seeing folks, in the Bay, however.

Gives me chills to watch - thank you for sharing! Must've been so amazing to be there. I hope they do something huge for the 60th/30th & bring back the drones!

You know our love will not fade away! Without a doubt, the musical legacy will stand the test of time as technology improves!
Loved it from my couch!! Streamed it into my living room.
Love seeing the dead do this song, Thank you to Buddy Holly for writing it all those years ago....

I'm shook at the logistics of that drone display. The amount of programming must have been ridiculous.
Figured they would do this, opened with NFA Friday and reprised it to close everything!
I thought they did Friday and that was it , but you’re right great way to close!
I realized this yesterday and I was so confused if it had a meaning behind it or it was just them casually replaying a song

Coolest thumbnail pic of all time NFA
Great far flippin out !! 🎉
Damn, I would've thought that NFA chant would have lasted much longer.
Everyone was singing and clapping as they were leaving the stadium. It was beautiful✌
Can someone explain to me what that is? Are they fireworks? I've never seen anything like it. It's astonishing.
They are drones.
@@billzlose Amazing, are they programmed?
Yes, programmed, launched from a barge over the right field wall.
Classy End of the Beginning... Not Fade Away!
Grateful Dead. Family tràndens time
Love the ending!! Amazing!!!
Cheers
I was hoping for some kind of crazy drone jam based on the title of this post. That would have been a cool way to end it.
Awesome show. I get the mixed feelings on Mayer but he was definitely doing better recently and he has a great voice! And even if you don't like him the keyboards and drums have been awesome! Sad to see Dead & Co. go, I assume the guys will keep on going with other projects (although if they're ready to hang it up, they've earned it).
So what's next for the Deadheads, will they follow another band?
There are a collection of jam bands out there that have or are gaining dedicated followings, but nothing quite as unified as the Dead IMO. Phish, Billy Strings, and Goose are all excellent
Each to her/his own. Personally I found Mayer to be the only one who has been able to fill that spot. Because he doesn't try to copy Jerry and because he is a top class guitarist. And perhaps most importantly he really understands to play with and around the highly unique style of Bob Weir.
