  • what the fuck is Bob wearing?

  • Brent was rockin around the 8 minute mark. This is clearly the best version of the song.

  • This was some of the last of Jerry's great shows. Just before the coma. Whats even better is I was there hearing this as it was recorded. I love this song. I really don't think Jerry was the same after the coma. I never saw another show after that. He wasn't the same.

  • @future4you You got your dates messed up.

    Rock Guitarist Garcia Recovering After Slipping Into Diabetic Coma

    July 13, 1986|Associated Press

  • @rufufus Maybe so but, his playing seem to go in a direction that I didn't care for as much. I believe the coma had a lot to do with that! I really didn't care for the music written after 1986.

  • OH DEAR GOD -- that's what I needed ; right when I needed it. Just got back from Ocala FL where I was healthy Feeding the family....hit me family support... search YouTube:

    "by definition , for GOD's glory" & "early morning inspired" ... peace

  • I really like what Brent was doing with the keys in this version. Very special...

  • my dad tormented me with this music throughout my childhood

  • @55DONDONDON i believe you mean blessed your soul

  • He was just good, this guy... He touches the interior of my heart... Why would anybody ever criticize him? He was an American boy and within my dear heart I so wish he and Willie had gotten together....

  • @RolandWilder I was going to write something, but you did it for me. This is really a great version of this song. I've thought the same thing from time-to-time about the Dead and Willie Nelson. It would have been great. Next time.

  • I dont know anyone could not LOVE this band...beautiful <3

  • Still listening to this in 2012 ^^;)

  • i'm not gay, not that i care if i was, but im not, and i still have man love for jerry garcia

  • @MasterShake219 It's okay if you're gay? We will all still love you. ;)

  • Forget about getting away with the shorts, what about wearing a Madonna T-shirt at a Dead show?

  • They could play this song, any slot in any set and I would never complain!

  • At 8:50 in the vid. I bounced that ball!!

  • @Evster2012 for realz man if it was u ur a lucky man

  • It's amazing. You watch Jerry on that guitar, and it looks like he's not sure where the chord is, but he nails it just in time. Jerry magic!

  • LDS

  • SHED SHED LIGHT

  • GOD BLESS THE USA. AMEN

  • THANKS JERRY 4 LOOKIN OUT WITH ANGELS. LOVE

  • I was at this show. It was magickal! They really cooked it!

  • This is poot.

  • This is amazing

  • Whats up with Bill Gates/Bob Weir shorts comments. The focus should be the music and that is what Jerry Gatcia is all about. As he says "Story teller is his job not to hear is voice" meaning the goal is the music and not the performer. RIP-JERRY!

  • jerry healthy after 86 coma but man ,brent is WIGGIN

  • SHED LIGHT.

  • DONT WORRY ABOUT US NO. THANK YOU JESUS.

  • the best parents!

  • Sailor.

    Soldier.

    Storyteller.

    Lady with a Fan.

    Inspiration.

    Which are you?

  • Comment removed

  • Jimbo: Why dont you go to another greatful dead concert you damn hippy!!!!

    Mr Mackey: I cant man, Jerry Bear's Dead.

  • saw my first full Terrapin Station yesterday obviously it was furthur but i had to watch this

  • support your local hells angel......sound advice

  • I was there! Awesome version of this song!! they rocked it that day!

  • Those jortz are sick!

  • One of my favorite songs =)  THIS IS SMOKIN' ;P

  • this song is terrible live, listen to the studio version its great

  • @rowanpm Are you kidding?

  • @D3EDH3AD i hope they are

  • @rowanpm "Live Music Makes Better Bumper Stickers" -- Neil Young

  • @rowanpm It's been years since I've listened to the Grateful Dead, but I would say that THIS particular version of Terrapin is somewhat painful to watch, but saying the studio version is better kinda goes against what their music was about. The late 80s was not their best era. They caught a second wind in the early/mid 90s, but all in all, their peak was around the mid/late 70s. There are other versions of this song from other timeframes that blow this one & the studio version out of the water.

  • @jameskoenig3388 nice, can u send a link?

  • @rowanpm I sent it to your inbox. I get an error message when I leave a URL in the comment section.

  • @jameskoenig3388 please list the other versions! I'd appreciate it a ton :)

  • i do...completely

    

  • I am absolutely obsessed with this song.

  • @wolverine2244 As am I. My fave Dead song.

    Also - I was at this show. But the best version I ever saw of it, though, was at Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium on Chinese New Year in '88 ('87? '89?), closely followed by Oakland Indoor on New Year's Eve. Stole my face.

  • @wolverine2244 Me too wolverine. Coming from Maryland, I was introduced to this song early in life (Terps love this one). This is a particularily good version that bobaji posted. Alot of people don't realize that this is actually Lady with a Fan playing into Terrapin. You might also like the Ramble on Rose 6-26-94 (another great version). Or perhaps Crazy Fingers. Or....... 50 of their other tunes for that matter! Inspiration!

  • My first Grateful Deal show... this was one of the Dylan and The Dead shows. Got the ticket right here in front or me... one of many great shows :)

  • pure bliss

  • Holy shit in only 87 the dead was filling stadiums, impressive

  • @AriDillProductions fuck off. seriously. you're a fucking idiot.

  • @rmcknn thing is..... i was there. and i'm listening to the recording. it sounds great. try another version, or another show, or something. dis on the dead all you want, but you're gonna get called out on it. there are PLENTY of times the sound is bad, but this aint one of em, fool.

  • Respond to this video...  dur de durrr de duuuur de durrr...... aridilll? wat? deeeeedeee durrrr

  • @rmcknn Woah man chill....

  • @rmcknn You're kind of a prick. You responded to one of my comments on another GD vid. I don't have to brag about how many shows I went to or where or how good they played on any given night. So fuck off...

  • jerry sounds horrendous in this

  • @rowanpm there are a LOT of dead shows where jerry sounds "horrendous".... this is not one of them. asshole. hold away despair... downing stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright..... are you fucking kidding me? you asshole!!!!!!!!!

  • "job is to shed light, Not to master" Amazing line

  • YES DUTCH HIPPIE, I WENT THRU 4 VINYLS

  • Well you can change your number; you canchange your number you CAN CHANGE YOUR NUMBER YOU CAN CHAAANGE YOUR NAME YOU CASN RIDE LIKE HELL ON A midnight train. Funny.

  • Bill Gates should put on a tie die and be Phil Lesh for Halloween.

  • @tccmarkets1 Or vice versa

  • hey rosewater, very cool. great sound quality, this is killer, never got to see a west coast show jerry your voice, does'nt sound rough today, well got to go thier getting ready to fly, and i need to inhale this. be kind.

  • wonderful

  • 8 ppl had an enema while watching this.

  • There are moments when the music plays the band.

  • The Grateful Dead set many trends including but not limited to: incredible music, "the hippy dance", VW Van revival groups, Hacky Sack Forums, Whip-it Alliance Group, and just after this concert, Daisy Dukes.

  • 8 fans of a Soulja Boy and the Bieb visited this video as of today. A real pity.

  • Only Bob Weir can wear shorts like that and get away with it

  • @Ecclesiastical7 It's the Madonna T-shirt that kills me! I was at this show (there may have been some chemicals involved courtesy of Owsley) and I laughed my ass off!

  • @Ecclesiastical7 i think someone probably told him after awhile to stop wearing them haha. "you've been wearing those shorts every show for the past 10 tours man"

  • LMAO @ Bob's shorts.

  • luckiest baby ever @ 3:40 

  • @joejoesmiles76 Just think, that kid is about 25 years old now. I wonder if the kid knows about this video.

  • @tccmarkets1 wondering how many shows he got to see before he could even remember????

  • @joejoesmiles76 I have to ask myself that same question! LOL

  • @pacificnwjess so agree

  • Phil Lesh needs to change his pants, them shorts are unflattering ... LOL

  • @zed0469 Phil Lesh can wear whatever he wants if he stays the way he is :)

  • I just got goosebumps on my soul.

  • Really have become a Dead fan my Senior Year of high school, which was 1993. "One From the Vault" was the first CD I ever bought. Simple, but beautiful. Never realized I was only scratching the surface. This song has it all.

  • the happiest people on earth that day were the ones at that show

  • Comment removed

  • There are certain experiences in one's life that are so moving and so haunting that one is forever changed. Watching Jerry perform Terrapin Station live in Las Vegas during an electric storm is surely a moment that I will never forget. Arguably the greatest song ever written. If you are not moved by this then you are listening, but are not hearing!

    Thanks for posting.

    R.I.P. Jerryman can't believe it's been 16 years already.

  • I was at this show... my first one of many... such awesome memories.

  • Bobby wearing shorts......weird:)

  • @Slikrik1212 He wore shorts a lot on stage in the summer.

  • @ccdeweese uhhh yeah I know, it was a joke.

  • WOW!! 6 votes for thumbs down....hmmm cant win for tryin' ...we are everywhere!!

  • 2:07

    Brent's telling the bad spirits to get the fuck outta here!

  • nobody can cover a grateful dead song and make it sound nearly as good as the OG version, and when the dead cover a song they do it better than the OG

  • Well today i found out that the man i thought was my dad for 18yrs isnt and my real father left my mom after i was born. but as a sit here listening to jerry i light my bowl, and everythings ok

  • @TaylorGangNicholson damn bro...i'll toke one with ya...

  • @TaylorGangNicholson Wow that sucks but lighting a bowl isn't going to make it better trust me good luck though.

  • @TaylorGangNicholson anyone can be a father....it takes alot to be a dad

  • you just cant recreate this so beautiful

  • what a song. This song is just pefect

  • Awesome shorts bob

  • What five don't like this????????????

  • @rdlee9988 5 Bieber fans?

  • i don't understand why you need two drummers to play this music

  • @000MidnightSun for someone with such a psychedelic username, you sure are clueless! psychedelic effects man! drums are essential to psychedelic experiences.

  • @000MidnightSun Its part of the whole feeling. I can tell you that listenin and watchin those two lay down the beat is just sublime.

  • @000MidnightSun It was bring your kid to work day that night.

  • Those 5 dislikes must have missed the like button!

  • Recorded two months before I moved to Berkeley.

  • A masterpiece of progressive rock, the best music they ever done, for me... but it is a pity to see here Jerry's obvious downhill turn...

  • they're not a band...they're an idea

  • Fuck i was a sperm at this point

  • this is great footage! thank you for sharing!

  • Five people just don't get it.

  • Comment boxes on Grateful Dead videos are the best on Youtube. Kudos to the Dead for bringing out the best of people on the internet.

  • We Miss You All...

  • Thank you for posting, when I hear this song.... I feel my left hand touch my forehead then touch my nose, hand spread to touch the rest....knees sink into my ankles....only my kids understand..... when I pick them up and spin them into the sun and there we find comfort....

  • and the turtles will be rockin.... Long Live the DEAD til things we've never seen will seem familiar  i miss Jerry :(

  • Jerry is still with us! Amazing like always!!

  • i love phils shirt looks trippy

  • Totally upsets me I could have seen them but did not. Thought Jerry would be around a lot longer....carpe diem!!!!!!!

  • The cut at the end is harsh.

    

  • me and bobby mcgee in the promised land with an alligator won't fade away if we see samson and delilah in the morning dew singin' some u.s. blues for an estimated prophet who lives on shakedown street above the dark star that feels like a stranger on the golden road of terrapin station where there's help on the way so lang as you don't tie a slipknot over franklin's tower playin' blues for allah in the chapel of saint stephen for one more saturday night but caution i'm a friend of the devil

  • @rosewaterrevolution This is absolutely incredible!!! This should be a song.......if you don't write it I will!! lol

    

  • @rosewaterrevolution Your words should be put to music.......can I use this? It's awesome!

  • @asaum3 feel free bra

  • @asaum3 It's names of songs the have and album covers. Everything about the dead is beautiful.

  • @3nz0f3r I know the songs and albums :) didn't need help on that one. lol Just pretty clever the way you put them together.

  • @rosewaterrevolution wow that is bomb!

  • @rosewaterrevolution you forgot...he also is the eyes of the world

  • goofy, for sure. they all got more strange than everyone who commented here put together.

  • Blessings.

  • Anyone else got strong feelings while listening to this song man.... this is mindblowing.

  • @TheDutchHippie LOVE, MAN!

  • @TheDutchHippie i did when i was ate mushrooms for the first time

  • Biggest i think Jerry ever was.

  • i can see his sperm count decreasing from here

  • @RealMusicRevolution I think the reason why you think they look goofy is because they are goofy. Fortunately, like I am sure you realize, good music is about sound not appearance. and if you still feel the need to apologize just look at bob's shorts or phil's face or his t-shirt or any of them for that matter

  • haha im sorry... i love the dead and all, but the whole band just looks so goofy here.

  • Lesh is soooo in the pocket there is no room for lint in there! Rock on forever Dead... Rock on forever. Jerry Happy Earth Day to ya in the great beyond.

  • Haha Bobby is the fucking man regardless\

  • Ok boys, make sure there is a path cleared behind bobby, we all know how he likes to slide back after his vocals.

  • It's funny Bobby is wearing the Madonna T-shirt and when they eventually met Madonna had no idea who he was. Nice version of Terrapin.

  • Nice Jean shorts, Bobby.

  • oh my god bobby... did you really think those shorts were a good idea??

  • Bobby and his Madonna t-shirt!

  • GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD!!! R.I.P. PIG, KEITH, BRENT, AND CAPTAIN TRIPS!

  • Here beside him stands a man, who came through many fights, but lost at love...

    

  • JESUS SO LOVES THE BOYS. AMEN

  • gotta show respect to the last generations,my mom used to make me listen to the whole thing

  • gotta show respect to the last generations

  • 5:52 is grand sounding and heartfelt.

  • I think Jerry's guitar looks like a 2 million dollar piece of art...just like their tunes....

  • Great song, great performance....  but bad, very bad shorts.

  • Nobody rocks the short shorts like Bobby

  • this might be a stupid question but how did jerry get so big lol

    from eating alot?

  • mogu ih slušati stalno,fenomenalno!

  • So very Sweet... ty, GD....

  • I mean this only as a compliment, as Phil is my man. But is it just me, or does Mr Lesh kinda look like a lesbian in this show?

  • HAHAHAHA nice hi-tops bobby you dork!!

  • WOW... never noticed the support your local hells angels sticker on jerry's gear at the beginning and a few more times in the footage... awesome song!
