[schwadust]

The last "great" moment I experienced at a Grateful Dead show. They were few and far between by this point, but this one was something special. One of my favorite moments shared with Jerry.

[chasefukuoka61]

@schwadust - very cool.. this was a beautiful moment in time.

[MJZ1974]

Thanks for this memory. Sitting in the upper deck at Richfield......

[chasefukuoka61]

[Sunflower0122Z]

Wow very nicely done, and with so many rare shots of Jerry.

Lots of love went into this one.

Thanks

[chasefukuoka61]

@Sunflower0122Z - thank you, and thanks for the video response.

[dog1dog2]

It was rare to hear Jerry playing and singing with such confidence and passion in the last year and a half, so this is such a rare, wonderful treasure.

[chasefukuoka61]

@dog1dog2 - yeah, i felt that way too when i heard it.

[MrCplumm]

Thank you

[rclark85]

brings tears to my eyes for sure... such soul in that voice, love ya jer

[12Radius]

GOOD !

[hippiechickmom]

Have you guys hears Merriweather 85 Stella Blue-I used it as my walking down the isle song....Jerry....it hurts me to see him in the later days...I miss him so much

[chasefukuoka61]

@hippiechickmom - i haven't heard that, but that's so cool you used it at your wedding

[hippiechickmom]

@chasefukuoka61 ...thx! Stella Blue made it mean so much more to me...we did Peggy-O for the first dance.....tons of tye-dye and rainbow flowers....fun times....Most people just dont understand the Dead.....nothing else touches my soul like Jerry

[chasefukuoka61]

@hippiechickmom - i know, same here. that's very cool. I have a nice 1970s Peggy-O i'll try to upload soon...

[mckeowntc]

I listen to this almost every morning of my life.

[chasefukuoka61]

It's so deep, sad, beautiful.... bittersweet... :^(

[MrCplumm]

Here's a version with better sound. Just gotta love it. Actually I think I'm gonna pick up my guitar, put on some new strings, and jam out.

[chasefukuoka61]

Go for it, MrCplumm...!

[mckeowntc]

@MrCplumm me too !!

[landofthefreeuk]

the best

[silermarilian]

The best slide show (I've seen) ever! Really just .....wow! Thank you for that nice trip. Love this Stella; because it exemplifies the high end range of Jerry's vocals

[chasefukuoka61]

hey, thanks so much. I agree, his vocals were great that night. Glad you enjoyed it. If interested you might also like the slideshows i did for Brokedown Palace, Crazy Fingers and Eyes of the World...

[jdjacobs1228]

Ya know, we could go on and on about what is the best version of any song.

What it comes down to is, the best version for any one person and what that version

does for you. This is one of my favorites and I love to hear it again. Miss those days.

[chasefukuoka61]

Yeah, me too :^( Gone but not forgotten...

[myhungryhippo]

@jdjacobs1228 i've found a 94 stella blue "very sad sound" and flubs everywhere but jerr's guitar work never felt so soulful at the end i believe its the omni oct. 10th or so

[MrCplumm]

@jdjacobs1228 Lol, I meant being able to hear the vocals. I pulled it up for someone that never heard it before.

[IncaRoads]

Oh man, the memories I have of this show...dosed to the gills and then JG unleashes THIS on me, left me a blabbering puddle o' goo. Whole show is an absolute smoker. The jam out of "He's Gone" was one for the ages. Thanks :)

[mckeowntc]

@IncaRoads ha ha, yeah no doubt !! Great comment !!

[chasefukuoka61]

Thanks. Yeah, guitar wise this is not even in the top 50%, imo, but i put it up for Jerry's vocals which i think were unique and beautiful that night...

[dopeywonder]

@chasefukuoka61 yes his vocals r amazing in this- like really- thanks so much and any more where he sings like this would love

[ks1205]

Stella is my favorite song, and this has always been my favorite Stella. Thanks!

[chasefukuoka61]

You're very welcome. I'd never heard Jerry sing it before quite like he did that night...

[ks1205]

I know, I don't think there's another version that tugs at the heartstrings like this one does. There are some that people say are better, but this is the one that gets to me.

[dopeywonder]

like wine

[chasefukuoka61]

indeed...
