Traffic & Jerry Garcia - Dear Mr. Fantasy

[chrisshelek]

Thanks for posting.Lifted me out of a bad mindfunk.

[maggiemazefarm]

Their songs cut across all dimensions<3

[MrDiscthrower]

Love Jerry. Love Steve. The 1 dislike, are you kidding?

[bobdc]

In the big historical picture, Jerry Garcia's a more important guitar player, but the man who wrote and played organ on "Gimme Some Loving" is playing better guitar here. Garcia is playing meandering Garcia lines like only Jerry Garcia can.

[muthafudgical]

wow

[lovapanda1]

1994

[dylanwalsh52325]

what year is this?



[bronncohowie]

WOW!!

[cheeseppuff]

[decimatesable]

[hunkyguyjake]

Friggen AMAZING I Miss you JERRY!!!!!!

[theyungboss123]

Fuckin Jerry Garcia! I still get chills listening to him play!

[JUANZITOMEX]

Simply the best

[MrJerryWallace]

Seventeen years ago, I was just back from Desert Storm. I never saw Garcia live. But I loved the Dead and Blind Faith. Saw Stevie rock with Eric on this tune in 2009, but this version takes the cake. I am not worthy. R.I.P. Jerry.

[takinthebus]

@MrJerryWallace You served in Desert Storm you ARE worthy!

[rokedetbamidbar]

It's from their 1994 tour in the USA.

[Harvo4282]

Nice way to remember Jim Capaldi and Jerry gone but not forgotten.

Thanks

[duncanengler]

i'm sorry, but how can there be only 40,000 views of this video! Should be a million at least!

[bookguitarguy]

@duncanengler "40,000 Headmen"... :O)

[MrJerryWallace]

@bookguitarguy  Right on Brother!

[khenry458]

Awesome, epic, legendary! What more can I say? Winwood and Garcia- wow!

Love Steve Winwood and Traffic and had the extreme privilege to see them live in the 90's.

[bramskilove]

absolutely wonderful, where and when was this concert? anyone?

[meddlesome1]

and they aren't even wearing socks

[GoldenRetriever5678]

Fuck... I got the chills seeing Garcia smile like that..... I feel the pressure myself... I'm ready to dump this Joe Middle Class america ship soo bad...... My excuse is uprooting my kids... When maybe that should be the main reason I do it... Why let them grow up being taught the same shit I was.... I'm ready for a beech and a boat. Any one wanna come?

[MrWittlez]

@GoldenRetriever5678 Take me with you!!!! :)

[SDSHREDDER]

Dear MR. Fantasy,

PLEASE BRING BACK OUR " JERRY BEAR". We miss him a whole hell of alot!

[anablic]

hard to believe that Steve Winwood is only six years younger than Jerry .....

[anablic]

hard to believe that Steve Winwood and Jerry were about the same age at the time of this filming . . . . actually - I THINK Steve might have been a bit OLDER. . . . . .

[MarmotGear]

Epic!!!!

[thereisnoproblem]

sorry, but it's not Stevie comin to Stadt werkstatt, it's "In Traffic" who can't be compared with Traffic ... look 'em oop on MS

... great ul anywayzzzz, luv Stevie since 1968 ... lol

[KittycatWrangler]

MAN! that was great. Thanks for uploading it.

[anonymoose716]

Very cool! Thanks for posting!

[bobbycspain]

[judyever23]

[Cyn1966]

So BEYOND cool they haven't even invented a word for it yet!.... WOW!!!!!!!

[profcrass]

Brings back great memories!!! I was at all these shows in Vegas in 94'. Also saw Traffic the weekend before in Phoenix. They were better in Phx but still great with Jerry sittin in.

[MrLampliter]

OMG ..... wow ......just smiling at who's sitting in. Thank you and as always God Bless ....... the Alien next to me is grinning ;).

[crimsonsamuraiftw]

Excellent. Thanks for the quality upload! :)

[CromwellAmun]

My god, I wonder if Jimi Hendrix had done this song... It would have been pure bliss...

[DYNODRUM]

@CromwellAmun hE dID dUDE

[U312258]

Wow!!!!!!!!Smokin hot jam at the end. Wow!!!

[custymaster]

dude at the end is having a blast!

[bassistdc]

Steve Winwood is great.

[ecdude1000]

I saw a show at the Meadowlands in the early 90's that was opened by Traffic and Jerry sat in. Could this be it?

[SVinNJ]

Billy Joel was right...Winwood makes me nervous too...

[rogersideman]

This looks like Soldier Field in Chicago. Probably from 1992 or 1993

[mpaulacs1]

Uau!!!!

[notthebannerboys]

Capaldi looks like the Caucasian Danny Trejo.

[jimbo0u812]

A great song to refresh the soul and bring some happiness..and least we will never forget Jerry Garcia!!

[HemiHead66]

I don't know how I missed this one, it's even got Gerry in there. Excellent!

[rebelbrad1]

@ancient...I C what you are saying, but Jerry's forte' was not cranked up heavy jams...rather, long winding and rolling melodic riffs. Although he WAS at the end of the road here, I still think that he was...in character with his humble respect for other talented musicians...laying back and letting Winwood have Center Stage. Having seen Jerry live and on vid/dvd a thousand times or more, I can tell you that the look on his face was one of awe and appreciation of the moment !

[VA3YNK]

Great song and have always liked Steve Winwood. Never cared too much for Jerry's guitar palying though..

[ancientastronomer]

Looks to me that ole Garcia was completely lost and winwood had to bail him out.

[boatbutter]

Outstanding post.

[DaMuttzNutz]

Jerry Garcia's guitar is spot on, but Christ, he looks ill there

[Medhb]

Something to make us all happy ; )

[mayorofgooftown]

Dumb question- Does anyone know what it's called when the film goes from good to grainy quality? Like @ 3.57

[vdbennett317]

Super! Splendid and Far Out! Thanks for sharing.

[Holdemhickey]

I was at this show, GREAT TIME!!!!! Nice to see some vid from it after all the years...

[unvddwhodey]

One of the best songs ever written. Jerry playing with Winwood might be the be the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Great fuckin video.

[jm1072]

shit like this makes me happy.

[boives]

I was at this show , back in the day:)

[Murreh]

Wow this was so awesome haha

[7861josh]

does anyone know the name of this dvd...

[busketa]

The Last Great Traffic - JAM

[7861josh]

@busketa ...thank you

[7861josh]

wow this sounds relly good...and it's live....and it has jerry in it...thnx for posting...this is great...made my week...

[TheLetras]

Ohhhhhhhhhh, esta canción siempre me ha gustado, como otras de la misma banda... ¡Viva el Rocccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

[JoeySunB]

..... I think it is what is calle "GETTING INTO IT " ( !!!! ) The blues cannot be played too slowly . Time allows for more improv w.o. seeming too 'busy' , and the bass GETS DOWN > I love it ! Jerry -- I wasn't a big fan -- BUT -- miss you ... Joey

[Peacelovelight16]

It feels a little slow to me Maybe cause he is getting old~ er But it is definately Dragging along

[j123jerry11]

August 3, 1994.

I was at this show...The Dead had to delay due to an overturned Bee truck caused massive traffic outside the venue.

[slipnutt]

Is this Giants Stadium? What's the date?

[ffdeadhead]

@slipnutt Soldier Field Chicago, July 1994. I was there !

[Sunflower0122Z]

(((((Happy Jerry))))

This was fun when I saw it so many moons ago. Traffic was a awesome shared bill.Thanks for posting

[smokinass1]

Oh my - this is smokin! Thanks for posting! And righto Mr. Winwood, Jerry G needs NO introduction at all!

[ncwdane]

This is some of my favorite footage of anything of all time, I Love this era & the ambiances of......

[useyourdelusion]

totally awesome, didn't know this existed

[randy95023]

Simply Awesome! Thanks soooo much for posting this! This is THE sweetest version of Dear Mr. Fantasy anywhere. RIP Jerry...

[thedeadbeats]

@randy95023 arent garcia's simple but intricate licks on this song fucking out of this world?

[ancientastronomer]

@thedeadbeats You MUST be a Garcia Worshipper. Garcia's performance here on this particular song was absolutely PATHETIC. Winwood recognized it too. He had to bail out Garcia from his WEAK attempt at a solo by overpowering his Guitar. Garcia looks like he's fuckin High. Probably did'nt even realize he just made an ASS outta himself in front of about 50,000 people. Don't get me wrong, NORMALLY Garcia's cool in my book. But, He ABSOLUTELY was fuckin up BAD here.

[matty0915]

Thanks a lot Busketa!!!

This is probably one of the greatest performances live, and w/Garcia...Classic, Simply Classic.

Thanks alot.

[itzjezme]

mr fantasy is right inside my head... just gotta love, that's all.
