I watched my father give up in 2016 and played this song to ease my mind. He passed away in 2020.
Family business we made into a 50
year success finally took its toll.
First time I caught this one on RUclips was when I was on a road trip with girlfriend and the two dogs. So many roads ago I traveled East Coast West Coast Grateful Dead. But I had lived a pretty normal establishment life for many years. We drove Boston (where she had done her Masters) back our life on West Coast. The puppies and girlfriend went to sleep in the motel and I caught this and it hit me. Oh, it hit me. Long time since I’d been on the road like that. I cried my eyes out. Oh God did i cry. It was old friends, places, miles between, Jerry and those guys. I cried like baby. What a performance. And I knew it was Jerry’s last . Good to know I wasn’t only one crying
This cuts deep. I hope this channel brings you everything you need in life Davy.
Caught them for the first time at Highgate 95. God I wish I had jumped on the bus earlier in my 60 year life.
Dude! Love your channel. You da man. A stone cold 'head to the bone. Thank you for sharing your awesome, sincere honest self.
"So Many Roads" has always been a personal favorite and the on from 3-25-1993, Chapel Hill, NC is the best I've heard yet. One of my top 5 all time performances!
Thanks for the cry Davvy. Beautiful stuff. I appreciate it.
I was at that show. Totally awesome
I can't handle this. It's too sad. Jerry.. we miss you so much!
Sorry to hear you were homeless. I drove a city bus for 9 years in Phoenix and developed a soft spot for the homeless that nobody will do anything about. Because there is no money in it for them. There are more homeless than one can imagine. You just do not see it, unless you are in it like I was with the bus. Never turned away a single one. Especially to and from the soup kitchen. Most of us are on tragedy away from it. Very scary. Glad you climbed out somehow.
I’ve been homeless myself, and I’m sad to say, it is a pretty common misconception that “no one will do anything about it.” Myself and the people I knew habitually chose drugs over the shelter/shelter programs with paths to assisted housing. The shelters and programs required that we undergo drug treatment (and take it seriously) and we chose to get high instead. Once I made the other decision, I owned a home within 4 years of sleeping outside. It’s not that no one will help. We just can’t recognize help when it’s offered sometimes.
I was there. This was great! When Jerry calls out, "Lord"...... :( I will never forget it! "Lord I've been walking down that road." Goose bumps.
Jerry's noodling always gets me right in the feels. Excuse me, I got dust in my eye.
I hear ya. But I wouldn't call that noodling. He was all about note choice. Those were his words. "Note choice" Nobody could pick them like he could.
It's like my dad singing to me. Right. Every time I see this I tear up. Who'd have thought we'd never see Papa Bear again.
@michaelpalmisano also teaches Dead tunes, but I watch both of your videos. Keep it up Davvy! Oh, and I was at these last shows at Soldier. 😊
You know I’ve specifically not watched this footage after seeing it come up in my feed a few times cause I didn’t think I could handle it. I was right. It got me.
I love this version so much but I cant watch it that often bc i cant do it
Same
Last set of the last show. How sadly fitting. It's almost like Free Bird. Like he was saying goodbye.
This song brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Hope you'll do more reaction video's in the future and please consider doing a lesson on this song. Certainly one of my favorites as well.
I only had the chance to see Jerry and Grateful Dead once on April 4, 1995 the first of two nights in Birmingham, Alabama. I wasn't real familiar with them other than the songs that were always played on local radio, but on a whim my roommates at the time and I decided to go check them out and see why people followed them from town to town. While many long time deadheads consider those 2 nights some of the worse shows, for me it was a magical night. It was such a complete different vibe from all other concerts I had been to and the hippies were great. My roommates didn't dig it as much as I did but I felt like I had finally found my people. The next day I went out and bought One From The Vault, Dead Set, American Beauty and Workingman's Dead based on the recommendation of the store clerk. I think my roommates got a little aggravated when all I wanted to listen to after that night was Grateful Dead.
thought I heard a blackbird singing up on bluebird hill. one of my all time favorite lyrics
This song chokes me up every time..... especially when he's digging into those so many so many roads toward the end and everyone in the crowd cheers after each word
I was at the riverport shows right before soldier field. I remember Liberty encore on the last night. They played a bunch of late hunter tunes that summer. I remember seeing Jerry look like the wizard like you described. I had followed the dead for years at that point and I walked out of that amphitheater knowing, for some strange reason, this would be the last time I saw Jerry. I said goodbye leaving that night. Magnificent career and musician.
I think I saw you there!
Bro I miss Jerry so much and everything that he brought to my life and millions of other lives. He truly was a modern day Renaissance man, he made me smile he made me laugh and he made me wonder but most of all he taught me to love. Thanks Davey, be safe my brother peace.
😎✌🤪💨💨💨🌅🌈🌌🌉🐢🐻
For a lot of us on tour then, this was the end of those roads we were traveling. I made it to Deer Creek that summer tour , gave my Soldier Field tickets to my friend and headed back east where I was living at the time. My friend was set on seeing every show because somehow he knew Jerry would be leaving us. He just felt it. I thought I would just pick up on winter tour and life would be the same......I was wrong. Man , was I wrong. Life has never been the same.
I love all of your lesson videos, but I think this is your best video. It was great to see how much this song means to you, and how Music can create so much emotion for us all.
Love your passion. Thanks.
The tears came when the Stealie showed on the screen. S.O.B. But I needed it.
Nice solo accents bro. Yes he was in rough shape by then but still managed to sprinkle in gold and gems right up to the end.
That intro walk up is one of my favorite licks of all time, really hard listening to this without shedding a tear
Had to come back to this today 27 years after it was performed... this version was one of the 1st dead songs I ever heard over 3 years ago when my dad randomly put on the grateful dead satellite station... to say it changed my life is an understatement.
Hey davvy, really enjoyed this one. these reaction type videos are really interesting would love to see them back in the future.
Sow many rose❤
For some reason, this tune was never on my radar before. Now I’m totally into it, thanks! The way you shared your love for this - excellent! Subscribed ✅⭐️❤️
Great video, Davvy, love it. Love all you do. Really appreciate your love, dedication, humor, talent, and kindness.
This song and “Days Between” are two songs from the final years that never fail to move me. Just beautiful.
I had the good fortune to catch a few dozen Dead shows in the 80s, and saw a handful in the 90s, as well as some JGB shows and a Bobby show when he toured with Rob Wasserman in the early 90s.
I caught my final Dead show in summer of ‘93. Soldier Field, so just about two years before this show. I probably just hadn’t been in the wrong place at the right time before, but it was the first and only show where I saw a heroin overdose. I have to admit, it haunted me for quite a while. Still kind of does. But the band sounded good and put on some great shows that summer. Jerry seemed better - healthier - than he was in ‘95. Everyone who saw him had the same reaction you did, Davvy. They could see it. They knew he was using again, hard, and it was bittersweet that last summer. Such a paradox when news of his death broke. No one was all that surprised but everyone was still shocked and it cut deep.
Thanks for keeping the incredible creativity and art of this band alive and fun!
♥
I absolutely love the dead but listening 93-95 makes me almost cry man, love the energy see ya Saturday
Check out the Chapel Hill shows from '93. They are the stand outs and Jerry sounds incredible. Shame it couldn't continue into the Summer.
Your videos are great man. You always bring a smile to my face
Thanks, homie
His last concert... five years exactly before the day I was born. My dad was there. Seems like a cosmic coincidence.
My dad was at this show in 95, he went to a bunch around this time period it was all sold out but he had my aunt who was a senior in hs go to the Ticketmaster and buy 8 tickets for every night somehow and they went with her to her first dead shows, now they go to all the Chicago dead and co shows, and he’s taking me to the one next month in Chicago, my first dead show as an adult, we used to go to gathering of the vibes every year from like 07-2011 and I loved it as a kid.I was luckily raised on the dead, and as a guitarist I’m glad I was.
Hey Bob!!...Dave!!.....makes many feel wonderous , in So Many Ways!!!...We r So Amazed that Some of u young lads have found ur way all the way thru till today , by honesty and feeling!!!....
Great ears by the way!!....
The feeling comes from the honesty in the man , and his music!
Keep up the good work kid!!!..
Ur going places!!
Straight up!!!!
First u go Straight!!!..
Then u go uP!!!...
my first show was 10-9-89.. an EPIC show. i was 16, and my brother picked me up from school and we left minnesota and headed east..
ive been to 87 shows,
Anybody who did shows in the summer of 95 , knew something bad was coming down the pike .
He left it all out there that night
This is his last time he ever played in public I believe
Beautiful stuff Davvy! Great one
I always took “If you don’t, who else will” as the name of the song the jug band was singing.
Hey man, absolutely loved this! Your analysis really helped me relate do this in a new way, definitely “seeing me through” this season of my life man. Love this channel and especially this new format you’re doing. Anyway, I’d be too humble for my own good if I didn’t throw in a suggestion lol your take on “Jack Straw”or “Comes a Time” would be neat, but honesty any road ya pick will turn the wheel as it should! Much love man!
Thanks for this, man. Such a sweet moment.
When you are about to cry but then a little 15 second add for some yousician app ruins it. But it’s such a great song
Thankyou 🇳🇿☮️✌️😭
I was at the spring 95 philly shows. I think they played 3 nights. Made some sweet stories for me as a 16 or 17 year old kid.
IWT also. Spring 95 was my last tour. I typically skipped summer tour for mountains and obviously regretted it this time.
Bud, I was at those shows too. I'll never forget hearing So Many Roads. I looked at my ol' Dead buddy and we just knew, he was done. Man looked and sounded so frail at those shows at the end. Heartbreaking. But he could still just grab you. Blessed to have seen the boys a lot during my college years. Was some of the best times of my life and their music has powered me thru life. Thanks Davvey - love ya man!
Nice playing. I've always loved this version, and some of the others from earlier when Jerry wasn't having quite so much trouble.
chills
I believe that this was Jerry’s swan song, which is probably why Dead & co have yet to cover it?…but I get a big frog in my throat and a tear down my cheek every time I hear it…I know my own time is coming and I’m looking forward to see Jerry play it in Heaven.
Bruh the last concert Jerry EVER played😭😭
Yay, Bobby anticipation!
Dave my friend, I just gotta let you know, I always said this was Jerry's swan song...I cry each and every time I listen to it bro, and to see somebody else get it as deeply as I do, makes it even better buddy...thank you, thank you, thank you...I just turned 50 in September, and I was lucky enough to have seen The Silvered Haired Angel 37 times, although I got on the bus late in early '91 and missed Brent, I saw the best "person" in my lifetime perform my friend...I can just see how this song gets you the same way it gets me bro...he gave us everything he had right to the end...he passed exactly one month later...I cried for days...crazy, someone who I never met, had such an impact on me when he passed...miss Jerry every. single. day. brother...unfortunately I'm homeless at the moment myself buddy, and I have my sixteen year old son with me(we're actually in a hotel), so I can relate...the Dead have gotten me thru so much...thanks for being real and doing what you do bud...peace, love, and happiness to you and yours my friend...staying Grateful...✌🏻💀💨🎸🐅🥀🐢⚡🐊🍄🔉🔊🎶
All the love coming from me, brother.
@@TobyDavvy Thank you buddy, it's much appreciated...peace and love my friend...✌🏻💀
I hope you and your son are doing well.
@@Irkin_Bollikans thank you my friend, that means a lot..stay safe and well brother..much love..💀🎸❤⚡💙
I share Jerry's birthday and am the age Jerry was when he died. Ugh. I feel great fortunately. Father time though.
Jerry man, and Robert Hunter 💕
Was there! Didn’t realize the grimness due to my fresh minting.
Bobby part on is perfect counterpoint to jerry
They cut out a chunk for the so many roads box set version where he doubles back because it’s a mess up, but it’s just fine with it that there. No other FA base cheers at mistakes
We loved that they were human, just like us. We learned to embrace our flawed humanity.
But these days, all mistakes are hidden. Everyone now lives in Disneyland. So when they encounter a real tiger, they get confused. They don't get why we prefer a mangy, wild, unpredictable tiger over a clean, shiny (plastic) one.
You can certainly polish a plastic tiger, but it will still won't do anything new.
Will you please do a lesson for, So Many Roads? Thanks for all you do. I've learned a lot from you. 🤙
Yessir! It’s happening!
@@TobyDavvy thanks, bruv! I got excited at the beginning of the video, posted my question before watching until the end! Thanks for answering and have a great day ✌
jerry is one of the greatests guitarist.. he plays with HALF A FINGER
Love the "Guitar Teacher Reacts" videos.
Hey, if anyone is gonna "react" Grateful Dead material, it should be you. Hope to see more React videos. Heck, look forward to any videos you do.
You are the best at what you do.
Peace.
That’s high praise, Tim!
You should show some recommendations for modern people who are making dead or that type of psychedelic music
ROCK N ROLL DAVVY
Where’s my damn lesson. I was told a year ago Davvy would teach me EVERY damn song. Lol just kidding great stuff bra
Long Liv the phawkin Dead 🍄🌁
Also it reminds me of row jimmy
You should make a video on how to play so many roads
Oh, it’s comin
Would love to see you react to Billy and the Kids w/ Billy Strings playing this. It won’t compare.. but it’s damn good 👍🏻
Hey Davvy, is this a Locrian solo? Jim Haubert asking, thanks!!
Bruh drinking outta a jar this time 🤣💀 Ain’t complaining starting my Friday morning with something different from y’all 😎
F Major?
❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨
I guess I never noticed til today, but is weir playing a telecaster?
Not sure if it’s the same one but around that time he reconnected with his biological family and he got a tele that had belonged to his late brother and he started using it.
🤙

Have you showed how to play terrapin station yet also you look like the hippie that taught me how to play electric guitar in the shed he lived in when I was 15
First.
You’re a decent guitarist but your incessant noodling over this treasured and unparalleled moment in American history is distracting and unnecessary.
Then just go watch the song, bro
@@TobyDavvy I did. Right away. Had to cleanse my palate. I simply tuned in because I thought you might have something of value to add, and I found your commentary quite valuable, so thanks for that… the noodling just came across as self aggrandizing, overplayed and disrespectful, and only served to diminish the overall impact of your video for me.
But hey, I’m just a cave man… what do I know? First time I’ve watched any of your videos. Maybe that’s just your schtick.
Maybe you should watch some of the other stuff to see my love and dedication to this music before you start throwing hate at me bro. I don’t put up with that nonsense. You have your opinion, but the one rule of this channel is “don’t be a d!ćk”. There are other ways to get your point across without putting other people down.
