I was there with my beloved Jane along with some very dear friends. Jane passed away five years ago and watching and hearing this brings back all my wonderful memories of her. She was the love of my life and I miss her dearly. God bless you my dear wife! I pray she is hearing this in heaven!!
Amen brother....sorry for your loss but glad you have those memories. My (now) wife and I missed an opportunity to see them for the first time at RFK stadium in DC in '95.....now we live vicariously through all the follow-up iterations and cover bands......still appreciate the music!
LOVE IS HER LOVE IS REAL LOVE U GUYS, AND THE GALS TOO FOR THE WHOLE GROUP THAT THIS GOLDEN BRIDE BRINGS TO ME AND MANY MANY FOLKS.THANKU FRIENDS AND TO ALL THE FOLKS I WILL NEVER KNOW THAT LOVE THE DEAD!!
I’m 64… 50 years ago in September… My first show at 14 with Mr. Natural the boys played the Philly Spectrum. What a long strange trip it’s been, Enjoy yourself! 🦛🐥🐑🐑 Jerry!
They tore JFK down after this show in 89. Did they have something for Phil at the Spectrom? They didn't do much out west. Mostly smaller bands playing Phils songs in the clubs.
I have been a musician almost all my life and I just recently turned 70. I don't know why I paid no attention to these guys in the past but I'm making up for lost time. I listen to them daily both at work and at home and in the car. I just can't get enough. I love to improvise and this is the kind of band I wish I could have been in for all these years. I know it's not too late as long as I'm on this side of the soil and I'm now going to look to put together a GD tribute band. Wish me luck.
I was at that show too. Before the show, someone opened the fire hydrant and I got soaked twice and twice I was dried by the intense heat from that day. I wouldn't trade the memory of that show for anything.
Hah, way to put it! I was not even a year old when Jerry died. It's so hard to imagine just how deep and elaborate the experiences must have been, but the vibes... They are the same. They will never change.
I was trucker in 1980 and drove for almost 36 hours straight so I could get home in time for a Dead concert. My roommate had bought an entire row of tickets and I got to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta just in time for the show. My friends knew how tired I was and gave me 3 little pictures of Snoopy the dog to pep me up. Still, I promptly fell asleep and didn't wake up until the encore. But man!...The dreams I had! The long version of Sugar Magnolia was great too. Thanks Jerry and crew for the great music...and dreams.
@@rubytuesday5684 Whatever. My friends all sat on the same row, center section, an entire row. Fox Theatre, Atlanta, Ga. Summer of 1980 . I could be wrong about the final song but a couple of things I am certain of: The tickets were purchased in advance (I saw them a week before the show) and my group were seated in an entire row in the center section when I arrived (I think it was 15 seats).
Sir I was not addressing you. Im certain that you did. My comment was just upon my experiences. I in no way was trying to dispute your comment... In fact I only wish Jerry was alive as I would be willing to pay 500.00$ Per Ticket ... Sorry if I offended you. Peace. DH.
@@rubytuesday5684 lol. that is completely fabricated. i have numerous stubs with various prices. some even had assignments though i dont remember ever worrying about it until one show at the providence civic center in RI maybe 1987
Brent was so amazing in retrospect. When I was young and on acid, I just paid attention to certain things at shows. Now looking on RUclips of the shows I was at, Brent was a big part of the positive energy given to the rest of the band. R.I.P Brent
Brent brought new energy. The kieth years were good but it was great to get real keyboard and powerful organ tones instead of the plinky toy piano sound from the late 70's - early 80's.
Besides being the best keyboardist the GD had ....only my opinion. These were some of the best tours and shows the GD had. Minus some of the 76-78 tours that I went to ....

Wish I could have made some Philly shows..all my shows were MSG, Nassau coliseum, Giants stadium and Brendan Byrne arena. I'd have to pick MSG as my fave cause they were always on fire in NY and MSG was a small place to see them at that point.. though the coliseum was even smaller... Nothing like the energy at the Garden. The JFK show was so perfect though from beginning to end! What a way to close down the stadium! 💜✌️🌷⚡💀🎶🎵
I wanna say they played the spectrum more than any major venue..more than msg, coliseum, boston etc and they always seem to put on a damn fine show in Philly but there was never a show I saw that didn't leave me smiling and pumped for the next. After all these years these guys still make me smile no matter the day I'm having. Can't wait til we're all reunited I bet the set list never ends. See you all there!
@kengodwin3879 bro, bring it down a notch. "No, you weren't" like you know wtf she was or wtf she was doing. Lady is living vicariously through this show that reminds her of a loved ones passing and you're over here all "no, you weren't" like anyone gives af. We're just chilling with her story.
Scrolling down through comments and had to do a double take then go and check when I saw this. You keep coming up as people I may know on FB, we've got 2 mutual friends. I don't want to put their full names up here, but Mike Pink and Steve Lang. Weird, small world.
@@Ken_G. Huh. It’s certainly is a small world. Though I’m not on fb much, I think I know who you are referring to re: Mike Pink, but not sure who Steve Lang is. I grew up in North Wilmington, DE… are you from the east coast?

I was born on this very day only a few hundred miles north!! What a show and what a beautiful day in Philly. Thank you, youtube for throwing this one my way :) Grateful for the ride.
So many Sunday mornings I'd cue up a show and Mary would wake up then I told her close her eyes and just listen. We had a good 38 years and now she's gone always in my heart but never coming back...
Oh my 89' how I miss you! Late 80's period. Those Candace tapestries were beautiful by day and at night haunting. Jerry on fire from solo #1, such a classic setlist well played! Oooohhhh Mama, can this really be the end! 19 and dancing the night away in paradise.

@@vincentanguoni8938 Keep jamming, man. Bob Weir said in an interview not long ago that he hopes people are listening to Grateful Dead in 300 years. Great (or in this case grate?) music never gets old. As a great friend used to tell me, "Just keep dancing." Take it easy and take care!
Cool. I love hearing Standing on the Moon, Jerry always nails it and his voice in these last years was perfect for this song. They only played it 50 times!
I met Jerry Garcia backstage at this show. We hit it off and he offered to mentor me in my guitar playing pilgrimage. We became very close and he confided many of his deepest thoughts with me. Miss him very much!!! RIP Jerry my dear friend!!!
I was at this show (and have it on DVD)...and I still have the ticket stub...section ER, Row 47, Seat 13. I have great memories of this night! Good times!
Same here bro! Remember when the band took their half-time break they left all the house mics on, (and several strange microphone stands in odd places all around the seating sections). The result was everyone's strange conversations coming through house PA all at once! I wish they would have captured THAT on the DVD! What a night that was! 31 years later and I'm still recovering! Whew! 😜
@@biblebear6795 - I wish someone could find that for all of us - I would absolutely love to hear that - I bet it was something - everybodies thoughts at one time - wow. Do you have a copy?
Buy u a book on Jerry Garcia's life, there is plenty on E-Bay - his books have kept me "sane" during this crazy world going on lately, try it.... My books are getting worn out by carrying them around, like a baby - waiting on him to grow legs - he he
I can't smell him, can't even take his glasses off - and make holes in my book; but I can feel the "love' coming from the book - try it people - it works for me - may work for you, if you love .
It's all kind of a blur but I'm pretty positive I was at this show. Lol. "So many shows, so little time" was my motto back then. A lifetime of the Dead isn't near enough. I'm sure I've been a Dead Head in other lifetimes, dimensions and realms. Just always felt right at home at shows. Didn't matter the state, nor the city. Always at home. My kind of people. My kind of crowd. And, thankfully, the music never died. RIP Jerry and Brent. It's been such a long, strange trip and I've loved every minute of it! Thanks for so many years of such exceptional music, boys! Keep them coming, please!
It's amazing that a band (with THAT lineup) has been gone for so long now, but we keep listening and commenting in such numbers... I miss The Grateful Dead so much it's a permanent ache inside my heart and soul... God, to stand at the front of that stage and see Jerry looking right at me with a huge smile and a look of such bliss on his face. I know it wasn't ALWAYS like that for him (or for anyone)... I know he suffered terribly for a very long time, and in that, I'm glad he's free... He certainly brought so much joy and happiness to so many for so long, and I know that it took EVERYONE in that band, to BE that band... It wasn't JUST Jerry... In fact, it wasn't REALLY Jerry's band... Bob became the musical director of The Grateful Dead in the mid 1970's... But in many ways they were a band that belonged to everyone!!! No matter what anyone believes it doesn't change how much I miss them! Someone early on said something to the effect of, it's worth being old now just to have been young then. I sort of agree with that! I do feel blessed to see all the amazing bands and artists I've seen over the years, but it's difficult for me that the majority of those bands and artists are gone now... Or WELL past their peak. It occurred to me the other day that we could easily lose the great Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr in this decade... It made me realize that I really don't want to live in a world where there are no remaining members of The Beatles alive anymore. How foreign and empty that world will be! I'm ten years younger than Sir Paul, but part of me truly hopes I'm taken BEFORE him! Sorry to sound so bleak... It's been a hard year... Hell, it's been a hard life! Thank God for these recordings! They allow my heroes to still sort of inhabit a world they're not really in anymore! As always, ✌🏼 & ❤️ 2the 🌎🌍!
@@kevinlevine5543 yeah, KANSAS is still going strong... with only two original members! They really are a KANSAS tribute band that has made two decent albums, I've listened to them exclusively for a few years now... Great albums, great band, but not KANSAS!
Jerry and Hunter wrote the tunes. So, that makes it Jerry's band in many ways. Bob is the legacy, as are the remaining members. But without Garcia, No Dead. Jerry is smokin hot in this one.
We were TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE SHARED TIME AND SPACE WITH THESE GUYS AND ALL THE OTHER FANTASTIC MUSICIANS , JOHN LENNON, CARLOS SANTANA, DAVID GILMORE, DAVID BOWIE , TOO MANY TO LIST 😎 BUT in my opinion following these guys around the country was the LAST TRUE AMERICAN ADVENTURE ⚡✌️❤️🎶🍀🌈🌹🎈🌻😋⚡
I was there..on my 18th bday..amazing experience..the video doesnt do it justice..that stadium was HUGE and packed... "Fire on the Mountain" after the sun went down and the lighters came out was pure magic
Pure magic, unlike any other, the likes of which we’ll not see again. Thank the Gods for recorded and filmed music. We still get to enjoy the memories and their gifts for time immemorial. We were beyond blessed to have them while we did. If you’re not moved and smiling by these performances, you’re wasting oxygen for the rest of us.
The prob was Jerry was never that haunted by his probs! I often wonder how modern meds-- esp. for diabetes could've helped him. Not to mention a better diet. Thing is-- Jerry never worried about stuff for long! (Look up the car crash he survived-- we could have lost him then!) And, you know-- here he is-- for the ages!
My late father kept me from this 4 night run, b/c i would miss a soccer game. And with honesty with a person that was an addict of multiple types, but still family. I like to look this as a view of heaven, but i stayed with Dad. No regrets..but man i would have loved to see those shows ;) So glad i can watch them.
Thanks ,to Craig Robert's, and Jim Thompkins. They introduced me to an amazing experience called The Grateful Dead, all the way back in 1977. Baltimore Civic Center. That was one of the most unforgettable evenings that I have ever had the pleasure of partaking of. It will always be one of those highlights of my life. WISH YOU BOTH WELL. YOU TOO Marshall!!!! Those were great days to be young.
Man, Brent's performance of Blow Away is just killer! Always loved that cat, brought a lot of heart to the band, and was a phenomenal artist and addition to the band. His performance here move me to tears. Miss him and Jerry so much sometimes. Great show!
He and Jerry were pouring fuel on each others fire during that interlude pure performance interplay . The guitar licks igniting Brents screams! one of the best dead song performanes i have seen on video. Don't ask for a favorite show ive seen
such a great show, I never tire of this one!!! boy, do I miss Jerry and Brent!!! we are so incredibly lucky to have so much fantastic material from 30 years of their brilliance!!!👌👍✌😁
I was born 4 years after the Jerry died and the grateful dead was no more. How I wish I got to be a part of this... At least we have this amazing catalouge of their live performances. Didnt even get around to seeing Dead and company. You old dead heads are lucky!!!
I didn’t realize the full magnitude of how profound the Dead were until I got sober. Man! Their music sober blooms, bubbles and bursts with pure, unbounded joy. No band like will there ever be. Blessing to Bob and the rest for continuing on. 💀⚡️🌹
Well, What A Long Strange Trip It's Been, Indeed! I have lived in the Philly area for most of my life, and this was one of most important events at that time! The JFK stadium was packed! And, of course, it was hot! But so was this performance! Uniquely beautiful in that way that only the Grateful Dead could create! God Bless the Grateful Dead!
Lot of people talk about their "desert island show," and how it's nearly impossible to really choose one. I honestly think this one is it for me, if I had to say. So much raw emotion start to finish, and Brent is just on absolute fire the whole way. First set is his. Jerry just loving it. Nobody captured the human experience quite like the Dead could, and this whole show does it beautifully. NFA
I was at this concert! It was phenomenal! The musicality of Bobby, Jerry, Phil, Brent, Bill, and Mickey carries on and on. A group of us crazy kids got there early to be at the front of the stage for Bruce Hornsby and the Range and then the first set. For the second set we walked around the field and found seats far away in the stands. It was the last event for JFK Stadium. Practice music! Practice peace!
Man.. losing Brent was really the beginning of the end. They had moments of greatness after but it was like the light went out for Jerry and it's easy to see he couldn't get over the loss. So sad. Jerry aged like 20 years in just a couple years 💔 So deeply and profoundly wish he could have gotten well...he should still be here! 😢
Mike Lenowsky I agree 100%. I’ve said the same thing for years. Brent’s death was the first celebrity death that really hit me. Brent was vastly under appreciated and underrated. The light went out in Jerry when Brent passed. The light flickered, occasionally. After all these years it’s really clear just how important Brent was to the GD.
@@mbass718 Well said. To see them interact and share a musical space. Was a real gift. Check them on July 4 , 89 Truckin' up to Buffalo (On YT) Whole show is a ripper but check Jer and Brent on Not Fade Away. NEVER seen them having that much fun. Oh, and 3-14-90 Let it Grow. Their DNA intermingled. After Brent cashed out Jerry couldn't get grounded, IMHO.
This is my Grateful Dead. I saw my first show in April of '87 and dropped off sometime after Vince Welnick joined. I didn't get as far as JFK, but probably saw them a few times within a week or two of this date. This is like seeing old friends. "Such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there."
It’s simply IMPOSSIBLE to watch a late 80’s early 90’s dead show and NOT see multiple comments about Bobby’s shorts. It’s like, come on guys, we all notice it !
Oh, yeah. I try to find vids and boots where Bobby is up in the mix. I love the whole crew but as a rythym guitarist I am really drawn to Bobby;s very special presence.
@@newmania4242 I was just thinking that. In terms of rhythm guitarists, Bobby was and is, an extremely outstanding, and very underrated one. I mean, look who he had to play next to. That being said, seriously, from a musicians viewpoint, he did all the things an efficient rhythm player is supposed to do. He used inversions, thumb chords, triads and knew all the obscure chord voicings necessary to keep him from "occupying" the same range as Jerry and Brent. I swear to God, I can't remember seeing him play below the fourth fret, using open "cowboy" chords, and I have actually heard tapes of him swinging bends off Jerry. Plus he had a lot of charisma, and presence. Jerry made himself visible through his playing, but didn't really give a shit about actually being a "frontman", maybe the leader, yes. Too bad he was almost always too low in the mix. We used to make an effort to sit on Bobby's "side" so we were in the sweet spot. Dead center was all Jerry.
I've forgotten to appreciate the little things about a Grateful Dead show: those minutes in between the time they took the stage and the time the first song started, listening to their noodling and figuring out what they were going to open with by what key they were messing around in. The anticipation was amazing and I miss it.
Much, much love for this show, and the Grateful Dead! They've been one of my greatest guides as I navigate this crazy world we live in. I didn't catch my first show till 95, but I'm just as hooked now as I was then. Long live the Grateful Dead!!
I too was there! Someone had told me that they were filming that day. I had not known it then and now all these years later I get to see this. Thanks to RUclips.
Man, the solo in Ramble on Rose at about the 29 minute mark is just perfection. It's more than wonderfully melodic, it feels like a journey. As a life long guitarist, I put Jerry at the top. Above Hendrix, Clapton... all of them. Not just technical skill, but his sense of melody infuses everything. Nothing, and no one, can compare. While he is certainly well regarded amongst guitarists, I don't feel he is given his proper due. Rest in music, fat man. I sure you miss you.
Yep. It's the ability to capture melody so well and fluidly, where it's memorable. It's not just with the lead guitar parts, but all over the songs, obviously, as well. Most people have no idea what a gift that is. Plenty of guitar players can develop chops, rehearse a lot, play fast solos, some of them certainly great in their own right, but melody and feel is where it's at. Even when Garcia makes an error, it sounds great. Sign of a genius.
I agree. He was a musical genius. The guitar is like a natural appendage in his hands. It's like how us normal mortals just naturally open a door. To someone like myself without guitar skills it's like he just thinks the notes and his hands magically follow without missing a string or fret. Whenever he comes to mind I'm saddened that he left us so early, but glad that in a relatively short life he left such an amazing musical legacy.
My very first grateful Dead concert the tickets were given to me and my best friend Chris bartolomeo from his stepdad George Daugherty I believe thank you everybody for putting me on 32 shows with Jerry God bless the grateful Dead
That was a great show!!!! I’m so happy that I was going to see shows in the late 80’s early 90’s!!!! They were tight! Jerry and Brent were absolutely vibrating and Bobby was on point! Everyone in the band was just on their game!!!!!
Not often do I hear a board with Bobbys guitar out in front of the mix .... the guy was a genius of layering his chords into Jerrys leads ... this is refreshing and a great show to boot.
I like that you can actually hear Bobby in this mix, and his tone is actually really good! Not tinny at all. Bouncy, airy, vibrant. Phil laying down the bottom end with that casual magnificence like a guiding. And yeah, you can Jerry is very much "on" here, enjoying himself, engaged, and ripping happily throughout.
They certainly did an excellent job of recording the audio and also video recording was excellent..Terrific job..and the Band was grooving the whole show...they have said in interviews how much they love playing in Philly..and Philly loved them coming to play!! GBTGD✌☠🎶
Always been a down to earth guy. Shared a joint with him back in 1971 in Marin County. Never would have thought over 50 years later I’d still be listening to the Dead.
I miss Jerry Garcia's face,music+his amazing ❤️ he shared with all fans!I I know I'll see him in heaven I wish he knew how life was so much better,just by him being in it!!!
🎶"Take you To the leader Of the band...!!!"🎵🎶 Miss you, Jerry Garcia!!!💚🎸🎤💜 (And rest in peace, brilliant beautiful souls 💙Robert Hunter and Brent Mydland💙- you gave us SO MUCH)
Wow! This tops "de whole ting" on fire, ending at "Heavens Door". The beauty and "real" love of Grateful Dead/fans just makes me feel well, glad to have partaken in several shows over twenty years. Thanks for posting this happy gem, bringin US back. Feel the love, spread the "real" love! We all need it, now America! "Turn on your love light and leave it on!"
This is the show that changed my entire world… and wrote my future in lyrics with musical accompaniment.. that will never be duplicated nor comprised. My heart is pure and true ⚡️❤️⚡️

They tore JFK down after this show in 89. Did they have something for Phil at the Spectrom? They didn't do much out west. Mostly smaller bands playing Phils songs in the clubs.
I have been a musician almost all my life and I just recently turned 70. I don't know why I paid no attention to these guys in the past but I'm making up for lost time. I listen to them daily both at work and at home and in the car. I just can't get enough. I love to improvise and this is the kind of band I wish I could have been in for all these years. I know it's not too late as long as I'm on this side of the soil and I'm now going to look to put together a GD tribute band. Wish me luck.
They do have a tendency to grow on you! Enjoy.
it’s never too late to get on the bus 😃
Good luck. let me hear it when you do ! thank you
Good luck to you.
Go for it! Best of luck to you!
I was at that show. It's worth being old now to have been young then!

I was trucker in 1980
and drove for almost 36 hours straight so I could get home in time for a Dead concert. My roommate had bought an entire row of tickets and I got to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta just in time for the show. My friends knew how tired I was and gave me 3 little pictures of Snoopy the dog to pep me up. Still, I promptly fell asleep and didn't wake up until the encore. But man!...The dreams I had! The long version of Sugar Magnolia was great too. Thanks Jerry and crew for the great music...and dreams.
The Dead never had reserved seats....
It was always 25.00$
General admission.
First come first serve.
@@rubytuesday5684 Whatever. My friends all sat on the same row, center section, an entire row. Fox Theatre, Atlanta, Ga. Summer of 1980

Nov. 2024 anyone? Idk about anybody else, but I constantly come back to this show its great. Thanks for sharing
Brent was so amazing in retrospect. When I was young and on acid, I just paid attention to certain things at shows.
Now looking on RUclips of the shows I was at, Brent was a big part of the positive energy given to the rest of the band.
R.I.P Brent
Brent brought new energy. The kieth years were good but it was great to get real keyboard and powerful organ tones instead of the plinky toy piano sound from the late 70's - early 80's.
Love Blow Away but that anger did Brent in
Besides being the best keyboardist the GD had ....only my opinion. These were some of the best tours and shows the GD had. Minus some of the 76-78 tours that I went to ....

Thanks. You are an awesome person!

Thank you for the setlist!! I owe you a grilled cheese sandwich
There's nothing quite like a Philadelphia Dead show. LET IT SHINE...and leave it on!
Lots of fun at The Spectrum...JFK too, but I LOVED The Spectrum.
Turn it on and Leave it on.
Wish I could have made some Philly shows..all my shows were MSG, Nassau coliseum, Giants stadium and Brendan Byrne arena. I'd have to pick MSG as my fave cause they were always on fire in NY and MSG was a small place to see them at that point.. though the coliseum was even smaller... Nothing like the energy at the Garden. The JFK show was so perfect though from beginning to end! What a way to close down the stadium! 💜✌️🌷⚡💀🎶🎵
I couldn’t agree more.
I wanna say they played the spectrum more than any major venue..more than msg, coliseum, boston etc and they always seem to put on a damn fine show in Philly but there was never a show I saw that didn't leave me smiling and pumped for the next. After all these years these guys still make me smile no matter the day I'm having. Can't wait til we're all reunited I bet the set list never ends. See you all there!
I was there with my beloved husband Mitch. Mitch passed away in 1984 and I have missed him and thought of him every day since. Still love you baby xo
1994?
No, you weren't. This show is from 89. Unless you forgot or mistyped the year of your husband's death. My condolences either way.
@kengodwin3879 bro, bring it down a notch. "No, you weren't" like you know wtf she was or wtf she was doing. Lady is living vicariously through this show that reminds her of a loved ones passing and you're over here all "no, you weren't" like anyone gives af. We're just chilling with her story.
@@MayorGoldieWilson825 uhhh. Husband passed away in 84. Show happened in 89. Just calling bullshit where it due.
@kengodwin3879 do you like movies about Gladiators there Ken?
Watching these guys brings tears to my eyes. It’s magical.
Absolutely - Magical - wonderful way of describing it - thank u - brings tears to my eyes also..
Scrolling down through comments and had to do a double take then go and check when I saw this. You keep coming up as people I may know on FB, we've got 2 mutual friends. I don't want to put their full names up here, but Mike Pink and Steve Lang. Weird, small world.
Me or Linda?
@@amandajones4173 lol, sorry, you, didn't even see the comment by Linda.
@@Ken_G.
Huh. It’s certainly is a small world. Though I’m not on fb much, I think I know who you are referring to re: Mike Pink, but not sure who Steve Lang is. I grew up in North Wilmington, DE… are you from the east coast?
The interaction between Jerry and Brent.... PRICELESS
Agreed, Now to really lose your mind, go check 7-4-89. Show is a ripper then go to NFA and watch Jerry and Brent. Game over.
Jerry’s smile. And the nod. He approves. Love it

Ahhh Phil❤ Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there. Thanks, for a real good time💔⚡️💙
It took me 44 years on this planet to sit down and discover the dead. I’m hooked. I’m grateful. This music grips your soul.
Love reading the Grateful comments
I was born on this very day only a few hundred miles north!! What a show and what a beautiful day in Philly. Thank you, youtube for throwing this one my way :) Grateful for the ride.
this show is pure fire - one of the best shows of 1989, and that's saying alot.
I knew they were good at the time but looking back now 89 is right up there with the best year vintages
Isn’t it a premiere
It truly is!
@@eminem13001 , yes of a show that happened at JFK Stadium, 7 July 1989.
This sounds rediculous!
So many Sunday mornings I'd cue up a show and Mary would wake up then I told her close her eyes and just listen.
We had a good 38 years and now she's gone always in my heart but never coming back...
So very sorry for your loss
Yes they were very special times, I've been truckin since 1970,12 yrs old
✌️💜😇
And we've lost a third from this lineup. RIP Phil..thank you for the music
Oh my 89' how I miss you! Late 80's period. Those Candace tapestries were beautiful by day and at night haunting. Jerry on fire from solo #1, such a classic setlist well played! Oooohhhh Mama, can this really be the end! 19 and dancing the night away in paradise.
I get goosebumps looking at the crowd! Not a care in the world back in the day! Sweet memories!
Well said Vicki
I just started to go again this past Halloween at MSG...first time since 95.. what a special thing we had and still have. (My years 81-95..and now..)
Aint that the truth
and no cellphones just pure love music and the dead peace love and jerry Garcia
Exactly what I thought!
By far the absolute best Blow Away ever, because every time I hear it I am blown away I miss Brent I miss Jerry I miss all the shows
Damn, Brent always squeezed every last drop of his life force and poured it into each tune.
truly
this show especially. could be his magnum opus
Love my Brent fans
I loved the dynamic between Brent and Jerry.

Listening to this after a long day of studying and stressing about midterm exams... These guys are a foolproof anxiety attack cure!!
Same here
Get out!!! You really like this dead stuff!!! Silly I suppose but it makes an old guy feel young on this new years eve!!! Gracias!!!
@@vincentanguoni8938 Keep jamming, man. Bob Weir said in an interview not long ago that he hopes people are listening to Grateful Dead in 300 years. Great (or in this case grate?) music never gets old. As a great friend used to tell me, "Just keep dancing." Take it easy and take care!
@@soverton49 Scott, gracias y feliz año nuevo
Cool. I love hearing Standing on the Moon, Jerry always nails it and his voice in these last years was perfect for this song. They only played it 50 times!
I met Jerry Garcia backstage at this show. We hit it off and he offered to mentor me in my guitar playing pilgrimage. We became very close and he confided many of his deepest thoughts with me. Miss him very much!!! RIP Jerry my dear friend!!!
Box of Rain literally brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons.
I was at this show (and have it on DVD)...and I still have the ticket stub...section ER, Row 47, Seat 13. I have great memories of this night! Good times!
Same here bro! Remember when the band took their half-time break they left all the house mics on, (and several strange microphone stands in odd places all around the seating sections). The result was everyone's strange conversations coming through house PA all at once! I wish they would have captured THAT on the DVD! What a night that was! 31 years later and I'm still recovering! Whew! 😜
Was your stub a steal your face that was a light pink glitter
Lucky :-)
Good, cherish those tickets & memories forever!! Nobody can take your memories away from you.
@@biblebear6795 - I wish someone could find that for all of us - I would absolutely love to hear that - I bet it was something - everybodies thoughts at one time - wow. Do you have a copy?
If this makes any sense... the Grateful Dead make me feel better about growing older.
We saw it all happen
Yes sir!!! God bless you n yours my friend
Yea...absolutely..been listening since I was 17....I’m 67...magic music of my youth...still..
Getting closer to that Fountain of Light.
😎
Makes total sense.
Jerry and Brent, rest in peace and so much gratefulness for the amazing music
Buy u a book on Jerry Garcia's life, there is plenty on E-Bay - his books have kept me "sane" during this crazy world going on lately, try it.... My books are getting worn out by carrying them around, like a baby - waiting on him to grow legs - he he
I can't smell him, can't even take his glasses off - and make holes in my book; but I can feel the "love' coming from the book - try it people - it works for me - may work for you, if you love .
It's all kind of a blur but I'm pretty positive I was at this show. Lol. "So many shows, so little time" was my motto back then. A lifetime of the Dead isn't near enough. I'm sure I've been a Dead Head in other lifetimes, dimensions and realms. Just always felt right at home at shows. Didn't matter the state, nor the city. Always at home. My kind of people. My kind of crowd. And, thankfully, the music never died. RIP Jerry and Brent. It's been such a long, strange trip and I've loved every minute of it! Thanks for so many years of such exceptional music, boys! Keep them coming, please!
33 years ago today. Lost some dear friends along the way as I'm sure you all have since this night. I hope this finds you all well. Much love.
Do you still love your Pearly Baker best, more than your wine?
@@pearlybaker2524 always ♥️
Much love. Keep passing roses and tend that unbroken chain.
Love this song. 😀
@Pearly Baker do you still love yourself best or did you get a clue?
It's amazing that a band (with THAT lineup) has been gone for so long now, but we keep listening and commenting in such numbers... I miss The Grateful Dead so much it's a permanent ache inside my heart and soul... God, to stand at the front of that stage and see Jerry looking right at me with a huge smile and a look of such bliss on his face. I know it wasn't ALWAYS like that for him (or for anyone)... I know he suffered terribly for a very long time, and in that, I'm glad he's free... He certainly brought so much joy and happiness to so many for so long, and I know that it took EVERYONE in that band, to BE that band... It wasn't JUST Jerry... In fact, it wasn't REALLY Jerry's band... Bob became the musical director of The Grateful Dead in the mid 1970's... But in many ways they were a band that belonged to everyone!!!
No matter what anyone believes it doesn't change how much I miss them! Someone early on said something to the effect of, it's worth being old now just to have been young then.
I sort of agree with that! I do feel blessed to see all the amazing bands and artists I've seen over the years, but it's difficult for me that the majority of those bands and artists are gone now... Or WELL past their peak. It occurred to me the other day that we could easily lose the great Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr in this decade... It made me realize that I really don't want to live in a world where there are no remaining members of The Beatles alive anymore. How foreign and empty that world will be!
I'm ten years younger than Sir Paul, but part of me truly hopes I'm taken BEFORE him! Sorry to sound so bleak... It's been a hard year... Hell, it's been a hard life! Thank God for these recordings! They allow my heroes to still sort of inhabit a world they're not really in anymore! As always, ✌🏼 & ❤️ 2the 🌎🌍!
I feel like you doooooooo!
I agree with most of what you said. I want to mention that Kansas is still going strong and Styx is fun to hear every so often.
@@kevinlevine5543 yeah, KANSAS is still going strong... with only two original members! They really are a KANSAS tribute band that has made two decent albums, I've listened to them exclusively for a few years now... Great albums, great band, but not KANSAS!
Jerry and Hunter wrote the tunes. So, that makes it Jerry's band in many ways. Bob is the legacy, as are the remaining members. But without Garcia, No Dead. Jerry is smokin hot in this one.
@@mojorayjones How can you discount all of the Weir/ Barlow songs like that? lol
Their sets and the amount of time performed on stage per show is truly amazing.
I was there and I still remember like it was yesterday! Still get chills down my back during Blow Away.
Hello 👋Jamie, how are you doing? how is everything over there.
Met my wife of 30 years at this show.
Why does this make me cry over and over? Its so joyful to my soul. I am so glad to have lived the same time as Jerry
Same here, glad I got to live this..!
We were TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE SHARED TIME AND SPACE WITH THESE GUYS AND ALL THE OTHER FANTASTIC MUSICIANS , JOHN LENNON, CARLOS SANTANA, DAVID GILMORE, DAVID BOWIE , TOO MANY TO LIST 😎 BUT in my opinion following these guys around the country was the LAST TRUE AMERICAN ADVENTURE ⚡✌️❤️🎶🍀🌈🌹🎈🌻😋⚡
This was my first show. I had never felt real live music magic before!!
What a first
Same 94
I was there..on my 18th bday..amazing experience..the video doesnt do it justice..that stadium was HUGE and packed... "Fire on the Mountain" after the sun went down and the lighters came out was pure magic
I cry because I wish I was here
Pure magic, unlike any other, the likes of which we’ll not see again. Thank the Gods for recorded and filmed music. We still get to enjoy the memories and their gifts for time immemorial. We were beyond blessed to have them while we did. If you’re not moved and smiling by these performances,
you’re wasting oxygen for the rest of us.
I'm so glad this whole show is finally on youtube, best show of the late Brent era imo
I was there, after hitchhiking up from DC and getting a face-value ticket about 10 minutes after arriving ... one of the best shows I ever saw.
Seeing Jerry enjoying this gig so much is truly heart warming. You want to think he was digging these moments and not just haunted by his probs.
The prob was Jerry was never that haunted by his probs! I often wonder how modern meds-- esp. for diabetes could've helped him. Not to mention a better diet. Thing is-- Jerry never worried about stuff for long! (Look up the car crash he survived-- we could have lost him then!) And, you know-- here he is-- for the ages!
Amen!! - I understand what u r saying!
JFK Stadium. . Grateful Dead . Enough said .
My problems got problems
Oh he was in it so beautiful
My late father kept me from this 4 night run, b/c i would miss a soccer game. And with honesty with a person that was an addict of multiple types, but still family. I like to look this as a view of heaven, but i stayed with Dad. No regrets..but man i would have loved to see those shows ;) So glad i can watch them.
Thanks ,to Craig Robert's, and Jim Thompkins. They introduced me to an amazing experience called The Grateful Dead, all the way back in 1977. Baltimore Civic Center. That was one of the most unforgettable evenings that I have ever had the pleasure of partaking of. It will always be one of those highlights of my life. WISH YOU BOTH WELL. YOU TOO Marshall!!!! Those were great days to be young.
Hello 👋Kim, how are you doing? how is everything over there.
Man, Brent's performance of Blow Away is just killer! Always loved that cat, brought a lot of heart to the band, and was a phenomenal artist and addition to the band. His performance here move me to tears. Miss him and Jerry so much sometimes. Great show!
One of my least favorite songs, but the best performance of it. Just a negative vibe from the theme. Jerry sure was digging it
He and Jerry were pouring fuel on each others fire during that interlude pure performance interplay . The guitar licks igniting Brents screams! one of the best dead song performanes i have seen on video. Don't ask for a favorite show ive seen
Killer Brent show.
You should be thanking GOD for your good memories - remember "Nobody can take away your memories!"
I also miss the both them terribly ! But when Brent sings red rooster with Bobby it’s to fuching good !
Love the way Jerry goes over and plays in front of Brent, how respectful!!
Me too - they understand each other, I think..
I was at this concert. The last concert at JFK Stadium before it was torn down.
such a great show, I never tire of this one!!! boy, do I miss Jerry and Brent!!! we are so incredibly lucky to have so much fantastic material from 30 years of their brilliance!!!👌👍✌😁
I was born 4 years after the Jerry died and the grateful dead was no more. How I wish I got to be a part of this... At least we have this amazing catalouge of their live performances. Didnt even get around to seeing Dead and company. You old dead heads are lucky!!!
I didn’t realize the full magnitude of how profound the Dead were until I got sober. Man! Their music sober blooms, bubbles and bursts with pure, unbounded joy. No band like will there ever be. Blessing to Bob and the rest for continuing on. 💀⚡️🌹
🙏🏻
I don't know, the Dead without Jerry is like the Doors without Jim......
@@scottlosey4978 definitely agree. D&C just ain’t the same. But nonetheless I give props to Bob and the other two for continuing on.
Learned in rehab that music is still fucking great without DRUGS
Well, What A Long Strange Trip It's Been, Indeed! I have lived in the Philly area for most of my life, and this was one of most important events at that time! The JFK stadium was packed! And, of course, it was hot! But so was this performance! Uniquely beautiful in that way that only the Grateful Dead could create! God Bless the Grateful Dead!
Lot of people talk about their "desert island show," and how it's nearly impossible to really choose one. I honestly think this one is it for me, if I had to say. So much raw emotion start to finish, and Brent is just on absolute fire the whole way. First set is his. Jerry just loving it. Nobody captured the human experience quite like the Dead could, and this whole show does it beautifully. NFA
My favorite to
It’s a mind bender of a show
I can't argue!
Don't you know you got to, SPANK THE MONKEY hey hey 🤣🥰
one of the best musically I ever went to with an insane Shakedown scene
I was at this concert! It was phenomenal! The musicality of Bobby, Jerry, Phil, Brent, Bill, and Mickey carries on and on. A group of us crazy kids got there early to be at the front of the stage for Bruce Hornsby and the Range and then the first set. For the second set we walked around the field and found seats far away in the stands. It was the last event for JFK Stadium. Practice music! Practice peace!
i was there too!
😀
One of my favourite bands/albums of all time - I think Steely Dan are/were wizards.
Back to back scorcher of streamed shows 🔥
I love it! Brent's Blow Away absolutely levitates the place! ❤
Eagle 1970 Primo version
What did he eat right before?
Christian Hallowell lozenge for his voice
They were clicking on all cylinders this Summer Tour. Summer ‘89 though Spring ‘90 was one heckuva run. Losing Brent was such a blow.
rm1133 It was brutal
So brutal 😥
Man.. losing Brent was really the beginning of the end. They had moments of greatness after but it was like the light went out for Jerry and it's easy to see he couldn't get over the loss. So sad. Jerry aged like 20 years in just a couple years 💔 So deeply and profoundly wish he could have gotten well...he should still be here! 😢
Mike Lenowsky I agree 100%. I’ve said the same thing for years. Brent’s death was the first celebrity death that really hit me. Brent was vastly under appreciated and underrated. The light went out in Jerry when Brent passed. The light flickered, occasionally. After all these years it’s really clear just how important Brent was to the GD.
@@mbass718 Well said. To see them interact and share a musical space. Was a real gift. Check them on July 4 , 89 Truckin' up to Buffalo (On YT) Whole show is a ripper but check Jer and Brent on Not Fade Away. NEVER seen them having that much fun. Oh, and 3-14-90 Let it Grow. Their DNA intermingled. After Brent cashed out Jerry couldn't get grounded, IMHO.
Great recording and mix,you hear all the boys perfectly, and so in the pocket. Always nice when all vocals are top notch
This is my Grateful Dead. I saw my first show in April of '87 and dropped off sometime after Vince Welnick joined. I didn't get as far as JFK, but probably saw them a few times within a week or two of this date. This is like seeing old friends. "Such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there."
Love forever for Jerry. My soulmate ,can hardly stand it to c him play live my heart breaks over again all the time ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🐇🐰☮️✌️🕊😍🥰😘🪐🕳👽😇
cant stop listening to this show its so damn good. stay grateful stay blessed stay holy and high
man, Bobby's shorts warrant a PG-13 rating
Ha ha ha he loves his shorty shorts pure California boy look back then!
@@juliehubbard8307 the shorty shorts, bobby pins in the hair, and slouch socks combo for the win!!! Love Bobby.
Hahahahhahaha!!!
Who wears short shorts?!!!!
It’s simply IMPOSSIBLE to watch a late 80’s early 90’s dead show and NOT see multiple comments about Bobby’s shorts. It’s like, come on guys, we all notice it !
There I am. It was an Amazing show! Drumz and Space Outside at night was always sweet.
Such passion and coordination. So glad I saw them as often as I did, wish it was more
I miss em live, but so happy for all the recordings and videos
Greatest band ever
Live band ever Beatles studio
They were on! You can actually here Bobby's guitar too! Yay! 🔥⚡
Oh, yeah. I try to find vids and boots where Bobby is up in the mix. I love the whole crew but as a rythym guitarist I am really drawn to Bobby;s very special presence.
@@newmania4242 I was just thinking that. In terms of rhythm guitarists, Bobby was and is, an extremely outstanding, and very underrated one. I mean, look who he had to play next to. That being said, seriously, from a musicians viewpoint, he did all the things an efficient rhythm player is supposed to do. He used inversions, thumb chords, triads and knew all the obscure chord voicings necessary to keep him from "occupying" the same range as Jerry and Brent. I swear to God, I can't remember seeing him play below the fourth fret, using open "cowboy" chords, and I have actually heard tapes of him swinging bends off Jerry. Plus he had a lot of charisma, and presence. Jerry made himself visible through his playing, but didn't really give a shit about actually being a "frontman", maybe the leader, yes.
Too bad he was almost always too low in the mix. We used to make an effort to sit on Bobby's "side" so we were in the sweet spot. Dead center was all Jerry.
I've forgotten to appreciate the little things about a Grateful Dead show: those minutes in between the time they took the stage and the time the first song started, listening to their noodling and figuring out what they were going to open with by what key they were messing around in. The anticipation was amazing and I miss it.
Truth
brings back wonderful memories; that and drums /space were music gold
Much, much love for this show, and the Grateful Dead! They've been one of my greatest guides as I navigate this crazy world we live in. I didn't catch my first show till 95, but I'm just as hooked now as I was then. Long live the Grateful Dead!!
I too was there! Someone had told me that they were filming that day. I had not known it then and now all these years later I get to see this. Thanks to RUclips.
Glad I was there with my friends
I was on this trip about 10 rows back.....tripping balls. Epic show
I think I was right next to u
Brent is gonna teach us about Real Love!

@@jamesmicucci7028 LOOK! WOW! IT'S TRUE! ALIENS!YEAH. HERE IT IS...Area 51 and Señor Leche ….. ruclips.net/video/R32DXz-6sJs/видео.html
The quality of this is amazing...looks/sounds fantastic!!
Super underrated! Thank you mister Garcia for sharing your brilliance!. It was magic. I miss the shows.
This is one of those shows that I just have to watch every now and then. One of my favorites.
Man, the solo in Ramble on Rose at about the 29 minute mark is just perfection. It's more than wonderfully melodic, it feels like a journey. As a life long guitarist, I put Jerry at the top. Above Hendrix, Clapton... all of them. Not just technical skill, but his sense of melody infuses everything. Nothing, and no one, can compare. While he is certainly well regarded amongst guitarists, I don't feel he is given his proper due. Rest in music, fat man. I sure you miss you.
Yep. It's the ability to capture melody so well and fluidly, where it's memorable. It's not just with the lead guitar parts, but all over the songs, obviously, as well. Most people have no idea what a gift that is. Plenty of guitar players can develop chops, rehearse a lot, play fast solos, some of them certainly great in their own right, but melody and feel is where it's at. Even when Garcia makes an error, it sounds great. Sign of a genius.
Hell in a Bucket I like his parts on that. Unusual but just right.
I agree. He was a musical genius. The guitar is like a natural appendage in his hands. It's like how us normal mortals just naturally open a door. To someone like myself without guitar skills it's like he just thinks the notes and his hands magically follow without missing a string or fret. Whenever he comes to mind I'm saddened that he left us so early, but glad that in a relatively short life he left such an amazing musical legacy.
The Grateful Dead is the spiritual fountain of youth.....
Thanks for posting. This is the Grateful Dead at their Best!
My very first grateful Dead concert the tickets were given to me and my best friend Chris bartolomeo from his stepdad George Daugherty I believe thank you everybody for putting me on 32 shows with Jerry God bless the grateful Dead
Watching this again in 2023. Was there live in 1989. What a time to be alive!
Jerry smiled when he saw Brent rocking lil' red rooster. That look when Jerry nodded Blow Away was priceless! Great Show!
this really soothes my troubled soul. ❤️
me too
And me thrice, just had a long argument with a brother I love. Some people are closing their eyes and saying I see 🥲
Oh my god same
That was a great show!!!! I’m so happy that I was going to see shows in the late 80’s early 90’s!!!! They were tight! Jerry and Brent were absolutely vibrating and Bobby was on point! Everyone in the band was just on their game!!!!!
Not often do I hear a board with Bobbys guitar out in front of the mix .... the guy was a genius of layering his chords into Jerrys leads ... this is refreshing and a great show to boot.
This brings back years of sooo many happy memories! Miss you Jerry and Brent ❤❤...
I like that you can actually hear Bobby in this mix, and his tone is actually really good! Not tinny at all. Bouncy, airy, vibrant. Phil laying down the bottom end with that casual magnificence like a guiding. And yeah, you can Jerry is very much "on" here, enjoying himself, engaged, and ripping happily throughout.
Amen, just keep playing his songs to keep him alive.
They certainly did an excellent job of recording the audio and also video recording was excellent..Terrific job..and the Band was grooving the whole show...they have said in interviews how much they love playing in Philly..and Philly loved them coming to play!! GBTGD✌☠🎶

Totally, I don't know if I've ever heard Bobby this well.
1:31:29. I never watch Phil enough but look at how soulfully he hits that deep note. Phil was absolutely not just going through the motions.
Phil is so much within the music ❤
Always been a down to earth guy. Shared a joint with him back in 1971 in Marin County. Never would have thought over 50 years later I’d still be listening to the Dead.
I miss Jerry Garcia's face,music+his amazing ❤️ he shared with all fans!I I know I'll see him in heaven I wish he knew how life was so much better,just by him being in it!!!
🎶"Take you
To the leader
Of the band...!!!"🎵🎶
Miss you, Jerry Garcia!!!💚🎸🎤💜
(And rest in peace, brilliant beautiful souls 💙Robert Hunter and Brent Mydland💙- you gave us SO MUCH)
One of my favorites. It's also a show to be heard, with good vibes and evident musicianship.
Wow! This tops "de whole ting" on fire, ending at "Heavens Door". The beauty and "real" love of Grateful Dead/fans just makes me feel well, glad to have partaken in several shows over twenty years. Thanks for posting this happy gem, bringin US back. Feel the love, spread the "real" love! We all need it, now America! "Turn on your love light and leave it on!"
Amen to That..
"Real" Love to all...
i was at this show and i watched it 5 times since it was first put out on youtube it just keep getting better
I just found it! A great way to begin the week!
I was hear as well, I love watching shows I was at. I was there in 87 too, the day it was like the surface of the sun!
It's great seeing the looks that Jerry gives when he's checking to see if everyone is ready to start.
This is the show that changed my entire world… and wrote my future in lyrics with musical accompaniment.. that will never be duplicated nor comprised. My heart is pure and true ⚡️❤️⚡️
