"From the final show of the Summer Tour of 1987, the last Dylan & The Dead show, this mighty version of West L.A. Fadeaway shows why it was such a popular Jerry first set song. Debuted in August 1982, this In The Dark standout was always well-received by the fans when it was played." - David Lemieux
Ok tune. Probably their best live version of it. Lyrically unusual Dead tune and musically as well. Both harder edge and music riff that is very repetitive. Not many Dead tunes where they are referencing the mob and try rhyming with copacetic. Its a challenge. Better tunes of InTheDark for sure.
“What Ginger said, she walks right in she ain’t nobodies fool. What ginger sayin? She tries to live by the golden rule Tries to treat other people alright. They’ll probably treat you cruel” Something like that. Has been awhile. I like those lyrics in this song
I was 16 in 1987 and accidentally ended up at a Dead Show in New Jersey. Took acid on the floor before the show and the journey continues! I will be Forever Grateful! Most of my artistic inspirations and interests hail from my years with the Dead. Too many adventures to name. The path is infinite........ Miss you Jerry!
Absolutely love it, wished this song was 10 mins longer. Also loved the crowd with American flag at the end. Grateful dead was America's most loved band, hands down.
I can’t believe HOW MANY perfect songs Jerry has written… he was the Mozart of our time. His understanding of scales, modes, and musical arrangements is absolutely on the Beethoven, Bach, Brahms level. If you don’t understand music theory, you still hear it; but if you do!?!
Not a day goes by that i dont think about Jerry. Honest to god true story. But just as much as i can be so sad still and miss him so dearly. It doesnt take long to see a juicy west LA and makes me smile ear to ear.
So proud to have swam in the Phishy water’s of the 90’s and 2000’s… This shit is soOgooD. Tasty jams~~~ people who don’t know need to know, and this is ticket…. Enjoy yourself and the ride~~
@@Marcissus Cool deal. That Alpine is the bomb. Never got to go there. Remember after the deer creek 89 show, saying bye to our friends Tommy & Craig who were driving to Alpine in a dinky sub compact Ford festiva lol. I had to go back home to Cincinnati, had to be back at work in 2 days. Wish I woulda flaked on work and gone to Alpine.
as apropro, my life took an UGLY TURN when this song came out.. in which west L.A. had conspired an armour with me in it, including the telling line about west LA women.." already know what I need to know.." { name address and phone #} well I made it out, and once again Jerry and his wordsmith wrote another line out of my soul, like the time all the songs I'd heard many times took on a deeper personal meaning like they knew me better than god, thank you fellas for making it all special and good to dance to as well,- West L.A.

Miss you Jerry!
Yeah , I have many good memories tripping and learning and laughing, fuck it was great🤣😂🌠🎯✴
@alaskakyle Perhaps! It got kind of blurry there for a while! I lived in Wyckoff, New Jersey at the time and went to Ramapo High School.
Ditto
Yeah you got on the bus like all of us
Curious how you accidentally ended up there!?
I really think this band has the potential to be famous someday.
😆
Good possibility 😂🤣😂
🤪🤪
As long as they stay in school, eat their greens and don't do drugs.
One of my favorite of Jerry’s “side projects”
Man, I sure miss Jerry 😢✌🏻
Every day!
Heroin is a hell of a drug
I've, "Lived this song", too many times! I'll be 64, this week !
You still putting out 🤔
I was 22 in 87'...Went to the 4th of July show in Foxboro, Ma...Such an awsome show on a hot asf day 🤗🥵😬
Absolutely love it, wished this song was 10 mins longer. Also loved the crowd with American flag at the end. Grateful dead was America's most loved band, hands down.
Heard it said before that they were the "most American" band ever. I can't disagree with that assessment.
They were America 🇺🇸
Every mood, any day, there’s a dead song for that ❤️⚡️💙
True. And a jgb show to heal any ill
Cannot express how thankful I am that these many old dead videos are free on RUclips 🙏🏼
Me too!!! I live this every night with the Dead ❤️
This is my absolute favorite West L.A. bobby is so good on this one
Riiight, twaaannnggguh
This song is simply a fantastic reason the guitar exists ….Jerry Garcia showed us how it should sound
No one will ever be the man but Jerry, best guitarist to ever live!! Fare thee well Jer-Bear
This groove is straight fire…
I can’t believe HOW MANY perfect songs Jerry has written… he was the Mozart of our time. His understanding of scales, modes, and musical arrangements is absolutely on the Beethoven, Bach, Brahms level. If you don’t understand music theory, you still hear it; but if you do!?!
One of the best bands ever
Too many words. Just: best band ever
No the BEST
Too good 💯
Greatest band in all the land
Easily
Lifelong Dead fan. Totally hooked on LA lately.....such a cool
riff, played flawlessly here.
Roaming centerfield in Anaheim the GOAT, not Mike Trout but Jerry Garcia. ⚡️
When I saw them inAnehaim,’Dylan Openn

What “GOAT”?❤
It's a scientific fact that everyone and I mean EVERYONE has an uncle that looks just like Billy K!
Billy. K looks like a skinny pablo escobar
I'm the uncle of 7kids and have been told I looked like him. Lol.
El mustacho
I'm sad to say I have no uncles who look like Bill
This is true
This was my 4th show. I was 16. Amazing times. Miss the boys so much but what can you do. There's nothing you can hold for very long.
how many shows did you end up seeing until summer '95, Henry. edit) that must've been unreal
they were on fire here, Jerry's voice is strong
The remastered studio version of this song is the best they ever recorded in a studio. Prove me wrong!
That'd be a hard fight. It's one of the few songs they did where I don't mind the studio version. Althea too.
@@ethanbradley2089Whattttt
One of my favorites of the "newer" tunes (it's at least 35 years old 😆). I love the slower tempo Groove they got going on.
Dude used to rock people's faces off and pound hot dogs backstage, then do it all over again! Fucking love Jerry man
Jerry in this video is a year older than I am now. He looks like he's easily ok his late 50s but he's in his mid 40s
Hot dogs, cocaine, and china White... what a diet..!
I don't know about the hot dogs he was diabetic unfortunately heroin is what kept him together. I love & miss him more then my family
Not a day goes by that i dont think about Jerry. Honest to god true story. But just as much as i can be so sad still and miss him so dearly. It doesnt take long to see a juicy west LA and makes me smile ear to ear.
The coolest West LA FadeAway ever
Only need it for a minute or 2.
The sound of the guitar,very dope,love you jerry .
Jerry is the lion! Always will be
I beg to differ. Jerry wasn't the lion. JERRY WAS THE SHIT! LOL...😅😅😅❤❤😊
Just can not be describe in words 🔥🔥🔥🔥
How wonderful is this ❤
Listening to some hot jams on these days between. Jerry still lives!
Sounds good. I think this band has potential.
Jerry looks GREAT in this vid!
❤ Just plain love them ! It's what music is all about. 🎸🎼🎵🎶🎻🪕
Ive grown to really like this song
Life is a bowl of Jerrys
They were amazing
They r the most famous band in history ! Played more concerts than any other band ever in this lifetime of April 21, 2024 so far !
This version is --- most dope
I only listen to the 70s Grateful Dead albums but this is a good Jerry song
Greatest rock n roll outfit this side of the Mississippi, God Bless Jerry❤🇺🇸
Jerrys riffs may sound laid back ......but listen closely...inside the groove he plays some really aggressive riffs!!!!!
Jerry was the heart and soul of the dead Bob Weir and friends just not same
Damn this rides 🔥🔥🌹💀
That riff is straight up filthy.
Two hits of Mr.Natural,two sets of Dead, two sets of Dylan+Dead, hence two hits,and TOO much fun ✌️
So proud to have swam in the Phishy water’s of the 90’s and 2000’s… This shit is soOgooD. Tasty jams~~~ people who don’t know need to know, and this is ticket…. Enjoy yourself and the ride~~
Went to this show. Hot day. Remember security chasing a naked guy past us, and a guy keeling over while blissing out to Bird Song.
Would like to been there for the ride with you
I was there.. We took our son. This was his first concert
That man had probably just had his pants stolen. Little misunderstanding.
Weird you say that man. I kid you not: I swear I saw thr same thing at Alpine Valley 89'! Must be a "thing" at all the Dead shows!
My favorite 🤩 Dead song.. got turned on at dear creek before we lost jerry.😢😝😎
ooohhhh yeah! *grooves*
The intro just makes me feel Good
Thank you for putting this up
Please and thank you
Grooving for sure, just the right speed.
I saw Los Lobos play this a few years back they always play a Dead song at every show
Im in Love!!!!!😮😮🎉😊
If only I’d been born earlier…but glad I got on the bus when I did ✌️❤️⚡️💀
I'll dig it three times 😮
Perfectly done video with the colors & that during the guitar solos, and great quality on a sunny day in Cali
I can see you don’t play guitar
The rhythm section is spot on
I was there then.... here, now
87 was really the comeback year stadium shows galore till 95 when Jerry passed ❤
The best West LA eveerrrrrrrrrrr
One of my favorite songs
Try 7/19/89

Cool live version, like this and Estimated Prophet from these guys. Long live The Dead.

Best dead jam
David's recaps are the best "liner notes"....you guys made Thursday mornings killer....thank you GD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw all the CA Dead/Dylan shows!!!
Hell yeah!!! 💀🌷🌈
Nice!
Why the dead isn't more popular in other countries
Ikr. Like Europe or something. They lacked culture 🤠
We are everywhere. You just gotta poke around. My friend saw Dead T in Royal Guard in China and Sam's day another Dead T in a noodle shop.
Fabulous!!
