The Grateful Dead-Cassidy-Shoreline Amphitheatre

[zcosmos9]

at these Solstice shows they projected this live along side the band , and when the "trails" were being shown onscreen you'd look onstage and you'd see them (under the proper "conditions") coming off Jerry ...very mindblowing!

[CassRoseMav]

My parents named me after this song I'm a girl and I love listing to this as a baby and even now its so comforting and even though my name is different I love it!!!!!

[4lifeGTA]

my parents named me after this song, and yes, im a guy.

[WeirFaithful]

[Emily61897]

My sister is named after this song. I'm named after the way Emily plays by pink floiyd. Irony of this? I play piano.

[yucchhiiowwee]

I worked for Bill Graham doing concert security at this show. I was working right in front of the stage. To those who know, that would be F.O.S. I worked for Bill Graham from 1987-1993. Still worked BGP for two years after Bill was killed in 1991 in that hellicopter crash. Shoreline was my primary venue, but I worked others like the cow palace, Oakland collisium and stadium. Henry J kaiser auditorium, San Jose civic auditorium, San Francisco civic and some others. This was a GRATE time!!

[WeirFaithful]

@yucchhiiowwee I'll BET!

[studabaker68]

[theatlantisrise]

Not just Jerry...its not the Dead without any of them...they are one of those bands that was just meant to play together. Cassidy is a beautiful song.

[smizzman]

[420shag]

@420shag Really, I shit you not........................and man I miss that feeling of being at home, the home for the universal mind and, all the things that happened getting there, during and after, but during the show most of all the best, not to mention when you could still bring drums in the show, and be in the moment. Those were the best drum circles ever... 

[420shag]

@420shag Really, I shit you not........................and man I miss that feeling of being at home, the home for the universal mind and, all the things that happened getting there, during and after, but during the show most of all the best, not to mention innermission when you could still bring drums in the show, and be in the moment.

Quite an uplifting song.

To Cassidy... Weir4ever I may find her.... lost in the beauty of it all.

Sail onward and upward my sweet until you find what you are searching for.

D.

[WEIR4EVER]

A song............... like me, and many others: simple enough to start with........ and when you get closer... minute by minute you'll find the resplendence OF A SOUL IN FLIGHT above earth and ocean... and INTO THE LIGHT !

Cassidy

"And give 'em all another Name!"

[WeirFaithful]

Aaaaaaaaaah i need to listen to this song much more often!

It so gives me what i need right now, and can't quite have:

Broad vistas, silver sky flight, waving ocean below

a song on the breath of creation..

that's me. and 'a few' others.

Thank you WEIR for writing a song wich seems a perfect mirror to my soul!

always... escaping.... into Light , Air and multi-dimentional TRANSPORTATION

and always... always 'Let your Life proceed of Is Own Design'

if only for this one, i love you! Bless you.

[andy23822]

3 dislikes? You shall burn in hell for eternity..............

[WEIR4EVER]

@andy23822 lollll i wouldn't go that far.. but definitely some sort of Ignorant Limbo sad world in which i would not ever ever THRIVE! as i do here ;-)

[erniesilk18]

I know that they're completely different people haha, but does Bob Weir remind anyone else of Rob Van Dam? haha i know RVD's a joke, but it just hit me.

[Cassidym123]

We named our Cairn Terrier after this song. We'd say Cassidy, we are playing your song and she we'd chase her around the house while she wagged her tail. Special song. Beautiful name. Beautiful memories. Sorrow is sometimes sweet.

[findux72]

i love this song, i discoverfed the band again after 15 years :-) I LOVE THIS stuff .... greeting to all dead heads from germany ... gökhan

[majortom1953]

[tozen51]

My daughter named Cassidy as well...she's great and I'm proud of her name and all it stands for.

[Luigidude43]

[mase5701]

The one person who disliked this song fell down the stairs and died right after disliking it.

[pieman5265]

i feel awkward because i am probably the only male cassidy here

[renee92648]

@pieman5265

I named my son Cassidy. Course, he doesnt like his name (cuz so many girls nowadays are named Cassidy), so he goes by CJ instead.

[pieman5265]

@renee92648 i really enjoy my name though

[cassidyandmolly]

[CakeDestroyer]

@3chrds

[GruppeB]

why did they turn the gain up on Brent's mic so high?

[citronrain]

Doesn't get any better than this! Thanks for posting this awesome video!

[sunin57]

thank you THANKYOU! where is this footage from, or rather, how did you get it? is it a segment of one of the commercially produced DVDs ( of which there are only so many; was someone from SanRafael onstage w/ video gear for all the shows or what? was it you (WT) for just this one show? so GREAT-Thanks & Love Everybody

[DenvrDave]

Great video and great sound quality! Holy cr@p brings me right back. Thanks for posting this most awesome video.

[dosed1dosed1000]

i named my daughter cassidy because of the beauty of this song she only had time for one dream before she became one of jerry's back up angels fare the well daddy's little angle rip1999 cassidy jade jones

[DoorofPerception60]

@dosed1dosed1000 May the four winds blow her safely home

[TheFishNetwork1]

@dosed1dosed1000 was your daughter born in 1999? with the middle name of jade!!!!! wow! i was born in 1999, my name is cassidy, my middle name is jade!

[Luigidude43]

@dosed1dosed1000 my name is cassidy 2 :) the song rocks hu

[mfmarkz]

@dosed1dosed1000

so sorry to hear but then she can help watch out for Jerry.

My daughter now 22 years, Alicia Cassady,because of our brother Neil and this song. Wheel to the storm and fly

[mcgooligong]

@dosed1dosed1000 I lost my daughter @ 2yrs in 2004. This song beautifully captures the birth of a little girl. I always loved it but now even more, saw it performed 3 times always just at twilight...

[CassidyXStraightEdge]

@dosed1dosed1000 I was also named after this song. I couldnt be more proud to be named after such an amazing song and to be tied to such an incredible band. I will always be greatful to my dad for it =) I am sorry to hear about your daughter,may she rest in peace.

[brotherbuzz909]

that was funny when bob forget to get to the microphone. love this song

[TaylorDHall]

oh how i love brent and jerry and the entire grateful dead

[64delftlover]

I named my cat after Cat after this song, long story short, my sister had to take her for me, and when the cat died, she had her ashes saved, and the memorial read, "Cassidy", not "Cassady". It was hard to keep my mouth shut, I told her how she was named, but I don't want to be a beeyatch, so I will just continue to enjoy the song as I always have....Live well Cassady.....

[danig120]

let the words be yours, i'm done with mine

love this song/ video. thanks for posting :D

every time i hear this song i get goosebumps (along with a few other dead songs, i'm sure y'all can relate)

[porkfrieddylan]

Can you guys all just give me a green thumb for this comment?

[docterphreak]

@porkfrieddylan Sure man!

[scarfyrre]

My bestest friend was named Cassidy. She was my dog, and she passed away today at the age of 17. I'm sure she's annoying our other dog, Ripple, that passed away in October from a brain tumor.

We'll see you again, kids! Then we'll all go on tour. :)

[1968Iverson]

I was at this show, I am dancing in the back. I really love this song and decided at the 6/21/1989 Shoreline show that I was going to name my first baby Cassidy. I did and she is 17 yr. old now.

[scarfyrre]

I named my dog Cassidy, and see, too was 17 this past December 1st. Sadly, she passed away today.

Here's to a long, happy life for your Cassidy!

[cablepanos]

Actually, this song might seem to be a misspelling of Neal Cassady's name; in fact the song primarily celebrates the 1970 birth of baby girl Cassidy Law into the Grateful Dead family, though the lyrics also include references to Neal Cassady himself.

[reywilliamr]

i remember following the hog farm bus across new mexico and being left in the dust only to discover cassidy was driving-he could always leave us in the dust even driving a v rod-god bless those times

[cdusio]

SWEEET.... Awesome vid brings be right back to this time and how good it felt to be at shows with cool people!!

[mrsjbigos]

This is my 15 year old girls name. We were in Highgate Canada in 1991 and I was8 months prego. Everone was routing for me to have her there but didn't happen for about a month later. Had great time camping in tent on Lake Champlain french speaking campground. Skun invaded tent but didn't spray. Missed all the balloons though, Ken or Sharron Where are You? Call us in Maine.

[Colour34]

How is she 15 when she was born in 1991? wouldn't she be 17/18 years old? I hope you mean 1994..

[mrsjbigos]

Hi, Yah, Y U R right, I was having a tearful moment. I get my wedding day year mixed up with my daughter b d year. I am blond sometimes.

[courtneymarie71]

I'm gonna name my girl this too, because of this song. I hope she wants to dance with her father to this song at her wedding, its so fitting. Well except I think it could be interpreted as her husband dying, but whatever.

[whoamiification]

Wow, this is the shit

[kerryindallas]

I have 2 boys, but if I had a girl this would have been her name: Cassidy Rose. And my hubby can't cut his hair!

[vicparis]

I guess you could have named your son Neal...

[itsmissperfect101]

this was almost my name. when im 18 im legally changing it to cassidy

[proxy133]

Good to see a young Dead fan... check out Grateful dead 6-26-94 "So Many Roads"... The Grateful Dead really has an endless array of songs as well as their derivative... Yo go, Cassidy...

[dutchdreams831]

Damn Warrior, nice descript.... :-(...

[jstraw4]

I can't believe all the folks below whose name was inspired by this song. My wife and I almost did the same, but the gender of the child did not cooperate.

[VivaLaCassiie]

My dad named me after this song.

He over dosed a year ago/;

[jstraw4]

Very sorry, my friend.....Peace to you.

[bjrdelaney]

I've always loved the Grateful Dead

[carterCO]

warrior- thanks a MILLION for posting this footage. this is the dead i came of age on. love it.

[gonesurfin27]

Brent was such an addition, such a member, such a perfect harmony! thank you brent!

[Dynosaur85]

[roflcookies]

Brent always lays down sweet harmonies in this song

[ckkrazy]

[WEIR4EVER]

Always great to revisit some grateful places you've been! Yee ha. Hail Weir!

[Cardphan]

Weir smiles when Jerry hits the notes at the 2:00 "grow the scorched ground green" part..I love when that happens...

[ifknicks1]

Bless you!

[drawderhs]

thankyou so much for this show warriorstrail. i love you all

[allforyouz]

I wish I could have seen them with Jerry.

I like Brent background vocals in this a lot.

He had a great voice, imo.

[djc9990]

Warriorstrail, i know where you're coming from. I miss it all so much. A happiness and a smile so wide... like nothing else! Just not the same anymore. Thanks for the vids brother... brings back so many sweet memories!

[bacculus]

One of the best Cassidy's ever. Steller jam at the end. Don't take my word for it...listen to the audience cheer at the end.

I'll never forget this show.

[SirAwsomness]

no im the best cassidy ever

[thesheaver]

oh baby i'm still at 4:00 i'm lookin forward to that jam!!!

[coach777777]

Great show. Thanks for these...

[deadheaded71]

like this song so much i named my daughter after it the song is about death and rebirth(death of neil cassidy and the birth of cassidy law) and it just so happens that i was going through both at the time of cassidy's birth. cassidy was born on earth day imagine that. this year i will have the honor of seeing the dead play on 4/22

[1rrelssek]

grate story man

[nofukenway]

i going to DC on 4/14.......first time since 94'

[aaronbaileynwa]

Denver 5/7.. :)

[maybelleneexo]

Saw them last night at Shoreline, also for the first time since '94 (Vermont)! It was AMAZING, I thought I was dreaming, I couldn't believe my ears. Beautiful. They did Cassidy and I literally got goosebumps, it's one of my all-time favorite Bobby songs... the magic is STILL THERE!! Jerry's presence was real. Even more special because my first show ever was at Shoreline, October 1988...

[Umberto2]

I was there on Sunday too. Amazing show - magical indeed. I can't stop thinking about it and wish I could relive it.

[9iluvhorses11]

WHat a hunk Bobby is with that ponytail!

[EXKINGCARGO]

I remember watching this on PPV back in 89. Great 1st set. Poor Bobby with his misbehaving equipment. . .

[BPF57]

very good post of one of my favorite songs thank you thank you!!

[DreadyOcean]

Right on!!! Thanks.

=) =) =)

[1rrelssek]
