I was at this show, man! what a throw back! I'll never forget the encore... they played, "Sunshine Daydream" just as it started to rain and the gold lights from the stage hit those drops and I swear to God I forgot who I was in the moment of that amazing space in time.
I have not a version this good of this tune since Family Dog Band this summer. It was wonderful to be delivered from ribute bands like further or DSO and finally get to hear someone play from their soul again
It ain't rock, ain't country, ain't bluegrass or jazz, enjoyed, at minimum, by anyone who hears it. As the honorable Mr. Graham stated many times, it's the "god damn grateful dead".
@iamstyx2004 They probably voted down because they see how Jerry and Brent found a new friend that was more important than music... heroin. Such a shame that such talent had to take a back seat to an evil pleasure. A great band, but much more on the mark before '78....
People are always posting comments about how this music is gone or fading away.
-I say no,
I am 16 years old and I listen to this and love this song. (my fav).. The Grateful Dead will never be dead. My mother raised me right! I am a Deadhead!
@ElijahJohnCirricione i also agree. ever since i can remember, i always perfered the music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Grateful Dead is ranked in my top ten fav bands
I was at this show and a good time was had by ALL, cleaned that little place of EVERYTHING......no they didn't mind the hippies in the fields, we MADE the economy. Stil have the tee shirt I bought.
Great tour for the dead man. i saw them in 89. Love this vid great tune, and these guys were having a blast this night, hell Brent damn near busts out laughing...God i miss when music was fun like this...No computers, over dubbing, or voice tricks baby. Just good old rock n roll. God bless ya Jerry, we miss you!!!
I was at this show. WOW glad to see a vid of this. Space was spectacular if i remember...This was before Alpine had the fences all over the parking lot. Double dipped Green Dragons and veggie fajhitas.Four day show I believe, with the intermission day being wednsday. The heli-coppter w/Jerry and Phil flying around was the best. East Troy.......One truley classy place.
Jump on in........ take a ride, every syllabe dancing off ur bain and bouncing thru yr <3. I not ashamed 2 admit that these wer the GOOd Old Daze... (=
21 pages of posta wow almost as many views.... Alpine Valley and the Grateful Dead so many memories...one of the best, if not the, to see a Dead show. B4 they closed the Apline golf course...to heads, what a gr8 spot to plop down, peak, and sit on a dew soaked green afterwords. The place had it all for heads large venue and camping. Who gave a crap where ya sat anywhere was gr8...4 shows with a 1 day break. Some years, dust bowl or mud, never will be repeated by another band in my lifetime!
@homers331 i'mwith ya alll the way tho we scared lake geneva local's on the day off at the beach and buy'inall the beer and ice in town sweet times miss them!!!
@AaronsOriginal Jerry's guitars are amazing, I believe it was Doug Irwin who custom made them for him. Poor Doug Irwin got screwed over by Bobby, Jerry willed his guitars to Doug and Bobby didn't honor Jerry's will when he died. He said the guitars belonged to the GD Productions because Jerry did not pay for them, that grateful dead productions money paid for them. Lots of good news articles about this in the Sonoma County Free Press.
Actually Doug Irwin took the band to court over this issue and won. He then immediately put them up for auction. They sold for more than any guitars ever. One of them was sold to the owner some big sports team who now plays it in basement jam sessions, and the other has been lost.
@caahare I have spoke with many of the old days grateful dead family and weir was the main problem here. After he joined the bohemian club in 1988 he went downhill, he contradicted everything he claimed he stood for. Not trying to argue with you so please do not think that, I guess we both just see things through different windows, nothing wrong with that.
@AmanitaPersicina No man I totally feel ya on this one. Jerry had every right for his will to be carried out, and Doug Irwin had every right to those guitars. I don't understand what the band was thinking trying to go against Jerry after he'd passed on. I just wish Doug had appreciated the guitars more, instead of just shipping them off to the highest bidder.
@AmanitaPersicina Bobby has lots of problems these days. I feel for him. But I dont condone his behavior. Jerry would not approve, although he would never admit to judging him :) He was truly a great man. Flawed? Maybe. A legend? You bet your ass.
My first Dead show. I had a great time..! It rained for most of the weekend. People were sliding down the muddy amphitheater like it was a giant "Slip & Slide". There was not a blade of grass left at Alpine Valley after this show.
They couldn't remake these tune makers . . . Someone went and broke the mold . . . The Head Deadhead gave us YouTube & Archive dot org . . . Love uhnm for that !!!
The Message never gets old... When will we ALL "see the light?" Will THEY ever stop building walls with cannon balls? Will THEY ever stop warning all the rest not to tred on them? Will there ever be PEACE? What ever happened to the "Age of Aquarius?" We're in it now and I, for one am impatient although it will probably take at least another thousand years to realize the promise of this new age.
@FeedYourHead1000 The boys words will NEVER HAPPEN as much as we all desire that they will come true..............I have lived in the nations capitol now for a dozen years and so much of the economy here is BASED ON WAR AND WAR RELATED ITEMS. May all the masters or war burn in hell for what they have created!!
this brings back so many great memories of my teenage years....i miss going to those shows every summer with my older brother and his friends. great times!!! :)
20 plus years of drug abuse took their toll and killed jerry but the ten yrs i spent seeing jerry play were the best ten years of my life just wish he had lived longer and brent too
ROCK ON....Alpine was always a good show, but what a helluva walk up that hill after partying all day long. We always had great seats and it was always in the 90s...
man,Jer was breaming with confidence during this show and well until '92 imo...that bust out solo outro out of "...to take his children home..." is stellar..miss you all too
This is my favorite Dead song. I have seen the Dead three times, the last time was in Portland Oregon, and talk about luckey!! I was given ticket . It was two days of concerts at Portland Meadows, temp. - mid 90's,the first day people fell out from the heat the next day they had people manning fire hoses just spraying an area so if you wanted to you could get soaked and cool off and water hoses to drink from all over. Once parked It was a mile walk through a party to get to the doors.RIP Jerry
my mom was pregnant with me while she was following the greatful dead around :) in 94 :) parents used to be hippies and i think thats why i love them so much!!! :)
theres nothing like the sound of jerry strikin that geetar pure heaven and myself as well am proud 2 be a head,what an exciting summer in store for us furthur,phish and festivals bbqs beach beer bud and the wife oh and althea our boxer enjoy alllll......miss ya jerr
I attended Dead shows from 1975 until Jerry's last show at Soldier Field, including this weekend at Alpine. I never heard them better than in the late 80's and early 90's.They were tighter, vocals cleaner....everything perfect. Listen to earlier live recordings and you can tell the difference. Best show I ever saw in that period was probably JGB @ Poplar Creek....I'll never forget Hey Jude.
I remember this like it was yeasterday. one night our seats did not exist. It was due to the video board. So we ended up with seate 2 rows in fron of the SBD! Kick as weekend! Wish it could be done all over again. Miss ya Jerry!
Good ol'Alpine... My first show was there in 1982. It is where east met west for some old fashioned summer concert fun. I was at this show as well and it really was kind of the begining of the end. I sure miss Jerry....Brent too !
this is one of my favorite Jerry's over the years. his rotund grandfatherly persona is legendary. and even with all the crap he did to himself over the years he still had the staying power to keep going on and on touring endlessly and giving MILLIONS of people MILLIONS of memories. What the Grateful Dead will never be replicated but it doesn't need to be because it will last for eternity.
@mendex2006 any info about brent, sure, he's DEAD, he's been dead for 20 years, 1952-1990 - died in the summer of 1990, at the age of 37 from a speedball, heroin and coke OD
@notmefuckingname sorry, i don't agree. without jerry, you have no dead, no grateful dead, whatever name you want to use. he was the captain of the ship, and the ship went down with the captain. bobby just isn't a frontman like jerry was. jerry songs are 100 times better than bobby
Being only sixteen, I never had the priviledge to see the Dead with Jerry. But I was lucky enough to see their show in Albany last April, and having grown up with the music and all the great live shows like Hundred Years Hall, and Dicks Picks 8 I knew it wasn't the same, but It's still damn good. The music can't just die with Jerry, it has to live on! And Warren Haynes did an excellent job filling in.
yes i'm sorry, the music should've died with Jerry and in my opinion it has. i have never followed the other dead related projects since jerry died in '95. he was the captain of the ship, and when he died, the ship sank
Well then you never really could of been involved in the music. Jerry will NEVER die. He lives in me, and the other heads old and young. He is here. your just to blind to see it.
@Deadhead4life106 nonsense. He lives inside of those who saw the purpose, are authentic for the experience. This is not everyone. Jerry is in my heart, after 600+ shows. When I looked inward & felt the same love as when Garcia played, I realized it was within me the whole time. "a spiritual warrior"....the purpose wasn't to see Garcia as an external, higher than that which exists within each of us. It was to SEE that which exists within & be better for having seen at all, live with love.
My dad is going to the shows on the 30th and 31st. He's been to about 80+ shows and this is his favorite band by far. They are in my top 5 along with Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Pink Floyd in no particular order.
they played this show immediately before i saw the Who at the same venue. dead heads were still straggling out, bumming cash and rides to the next show. they weren't getting a lot of help from the Who fans. sometimes i think i'm the only one who loves both bands...
@pjskss I saw the Who play Vet Stadium in Philly in 1989. The Dead just finished JFK the night before. I was 15 and that Who show was up there with my favorite shows! The rocked the joint!
nobody knows how to put on a show like Pete. He is the consummate professional when it comes to showmanship. the Stones were on tour in summer '89 too. I saw an interview with Jerry asking if he planned on catching the Stones. He was more excited about seeing The Who. He loved Pete. that would've been an ass-kickin' double bill to get them on a stage together...
@sallythediver you are right............. I flew some friends up to a Charlotte show and it was AWESOME. We parked the plane at the Gastonia , NC airport. I came home with 2 out of four of them.... You could buy anything from a shoe string to a jet airliner in than parking lot (at the colloseium sp -5)
by far my fav dead song of all time. im so glad you posted this video on here. Thank you. Garcia's legend still continues to live on. God bless the U.S.A. and God bless the Grateful Dead for bringing about the best harmony and free spirit for the world's pleasure !
Love the Hammond M3 , grtea....

It's testament to Hunter's lyrics that nearly
every time I hear some tunes I'll have a new insight into their meaning. UJB is like that for me.

This was a great show, my second, the second night it was magical, Brent was a very special part of the sound, but Bruce did a good job too..

The Brent era is the best sound they created. "I can only hope my luck is riding in the back"

cbarrett34 2 years ago
so, i know they arn't as great but they are keeping the dead in live circulation and if thats waht i can see right now im ganna see it and enjoy it
notmefuckingname 2 years ago
@notmefuckingname sorry, i don't agree. without jerry, you have no dead, no grateful dead, whatever name you want to use. he was the captain of the ship, and the ship went down with the captain. bobby just isn't a frontman like jerry was. jerry songs are 100 times better than bobby
cbarrett34 2 years ago
Being only sixteen, I never had the priviledge to see the Dead with Jerry. But I was lucky enough to see their show in Albany last April, and having grown up with the music and all the great live shows like Hundred Years Hall, and Dicks Picks 8 I knew it wasn't the same, but It's still damn good. The music can't just die with Jerry, it has to live on! And Warren Haynes did an excellent job filling in.
rockinthepearl 2 years ago 3
yes i'm sorry, the music should've died with Jerry and in my opinion it has. i have never followed the other dead related projects since jerry died in '95. he was the captain of the ship, and when he died, the ship sank
cbarrett34 2 years ago
Well then you never really could of been involved in the music. Jerry will NEVER die. He lives in me, and the other heads old and young. He is here. your just to blind to see it.

@Deadhead4life106 nonsense. He lives inside of those who saw the purpose, are authentic for the experience. This is not everyone. Jerry is in my heart, after 600+ shows. When I looked inward & felt the same love as when Garcia played, I realized it was within me the whole time. "a spiritual warrior"....the purpose wasn't to see Garcia as an external, higher than that which exists within each of us. It was to SEE that which exists within & be better for having seen at all, live with love.

My dad is going to the shows on the 30th and 31st. He's been to about 80+ shows and this is his favorite band by far. They are in my top 5 along with Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Pink Floyd in no particular order.

they played this show immediately before i saw the Who at the same venue. dead heads were still straggling out, bumming cash and rides to the next show. they weren't getting a lot of help from the Who fans. sometimes i think i'm the only one who loves both bands...

@pjskss I saw the Who play Vet Stadium in Philly in 1989. The Dead just finished JFK the night before. I was 15 and that Who show was up there with my favorite shows! The rocked the joint!

nobody knows how to put on a show like Pete. He is the consummate professional when it comes to showmanship. the Stones were on tour in summer '89 too. I saw an interview with Jerry asking if he planned on catching the Stones. He was more excited about seeing The Who. He loved Pete. that would've been an ass-kickin' double bill to get them on a stage together...
