[jandjwaranis]

[kocean1]

Heal me Jerry...I miss you more than words can tell...

[swedemcf]

Beauty

[RUuser]

The lyrics remind me of the Tiger Woods situation prior to the break up of his marriage.

[MrWhitelightning14]

Jerry overpowers the over-paid nitwit on keys....

[swedemcf]

@irtimed

It was 1980, unfortunately this goes with out saying

[1Nisguy]

I love this song!!!!!

[Sugaree1956]

Seen Grateful Dead years and years ago, and have been called Sugaree ever since.. Woot!

[CanadianWorkDivers]

Back when American music kicked ass... Now... haha... not so much.. damn shame though boys.

[nyislanders4cups]

Katsbeachinit was at this show!!!!!

[taariqtaariq]

smack took the best artists from us too soon.

[kingshitfuckmountain]

god damn...what a jam, I got chills reminds me so much of high school..going to a party friday night with this blasting on the radio on my truck.. what a talent Jerry was

I was lucky enough to see him a few times before he died. Music ws so good back then

[MrPhilber9]

Wish you were still here on earth Jerry. You are in our thoughts forever.

You made us all so very happy . RIP BROTHER

[TriggerTheT]

JERRRRRRRYYYY

[hipmaf420]

woulda loved to catch jer in the late 70s to mid 80s.....Alpine and Poplar '89 were pretty raging still tho

[magicman2001]

its great to see stuff like this just resurfacing, showing up out of nowhere. Jerry is in fine form. Hot SHOW!!!!!

[maddeee75]

probaly one of the best versions of Sugaree that i have ever heard....gives me chills..awesome slideshow 2...God, how i miss jerry!

[MrDirtybear]

This version seems to have more of a blues groove than Dead versions, the rythm section seem to get deeper in, than the Dead did, sometimes, though this version compares well with my all time best version, the rockpalaste version, I heard it on the BBC who broadcast it live, it was like we were having a dead party with the broadcast. The power of music...

[dankster215]

I woke up on my birthday back in 95 to find out we all lost a great friend. JERRY WAS A JEDI

[misskate970]

God Bless Jerry!!!

[deadheadable]

Hunter at keystone Palo Alto did Promentory Rider and Tiger Rose...man that was great and Maria Muldaur and Donna sany that night...drank dos equis and and had a super time .....the stage was low maybe two feet high and I sat right THERE!

[bigleagues]

So strange hearing Richard Neer setting this up!

[swilson16ify]

Try Archive.org for setlist and recording

[ravensunspirit]

just one thing for me

[Scootin1]

Shake it...

[Scootin1]

Shake it...

[rickrocksout]

The last time I heard this live was soldier field 6 \19\93 really good show , lot of rain though !!

[rdiggity1]

@rickrocksout I was there!

[younwhosarmy]

There are a lot of Dead Heads where I live... They are mostly Junkies... I do Love the music.. But I see all these kids who look up to Jerry.. Junkies Do NOT make good role models.. Kids 13 and older shooting up.. With Jerry as their role model.. To all DeadHeads please acknowledge Jerry as a whole, and real person, faults and all.. You are helping to make more teenage Junkies; when you Glorify him so..

[3cho613]

@younwhosarmy just show these kids some video of his later shows. the one's where he can barely play and he was struggling just to stand there on the stage.  I don't think you can blame these kid's behavior on Deadheads though. I never heard any heads saying Jerry was perfect. I was going to actual Dead shows that young and I never shot up. I admit I smoked a lot of bud and dropped a lot of acid though, lol.

[SteamDougy]

@younwhosarmy Jerry EVER encourage a child to shoot up?

[butchieman]

guitar notes like aluminum quivers

[PUBSHAMROCKS]

SPACE JERRY.

[ABSTRACTTK1A]

AINT THE DEAD WITH OUT THE BOYZZZZZZZ!

[relaxinandchillaxin]

@ABSTRACTTK1A why dont you go see further and get back to me....jackass.

[ABSTRACTTK1A]

JERRRRRYYYYYYYWWWWHHHHOOOOO???­??

[projectquelle]

Jerry was a special American musical treasure and a kind soul. Perhaps too kind for this world...the Fat Man Rocks!

[barewaller]

I seem to get the lyrics more and more as the years roll on

[BuddyWillis]

im curious, how long was the longest grateful dead marathon show?

4-6 hours?

[nick24nanda]

lots and lots of love jerry we miss you man!!........

[funwithFred]

Talk amongst yourselves............

[thefunlab]

Nothing worse than a lousy concert cameraman. The keyboards start going off at 6:30 and the camera doesn't catch him until the end of his jam. Aargh.

[nebnis81]

Take it Home....listen to it.....and just be blessed wth the fact we had him. Good times....yeah...good times.

[rubyrose456]

Like? LOVE!!!!! Thanks

[rubyrose456]

Like? LOVE!!!!! Thanks

[rubyrose456]

Love!!!! Thanks

[TURBODIESELWAGON]

Jerry , God Bless

[pabloneck]

not supposed to be funny. i dont think

[vauxhall908]

listen to Elizabeth Cottons Original It's cool how songs take on a life of there own.....

[TheElissaS]

I do not think there is ANYTHING funny about that line. There IS nothing funny about that line. You missed the mark every time you listened to SUGAREE. There's nothing funny about that either.

[zeiter13]

love ya jerry

[bitchkeepsbitchin]

LOVE Jerry, MISS Jerry! My darling, Sugaree! 'Just dont tell em that you know me' that line is so classic and funny!

[limbositter]

I was on Jerry tour at the time of this show. In my opinion this was electric Jerry at his best--stripped-down, bare bones JGB(as Hunter has said). No background vocalist, etc. But the Ticketron ticket says Rachel Sweet was the opener. That's incorrect. She bailed or was scrubbed and Hunter was asked to open for the tour. How lucky we were!

[xxLateralus420xx]

R.I.P. Old Friend....You are still so SORELY MISSED.....

[66root]

Jerry we miss you so much man.R.I.P.

[deweypug]

too bad about the moog...

[Laight4work]

this drummer was good . . . this shit grooves.

[dockaiser]

nice groove

[JeanLittle]

Yeah, Jerry!

[tommymartinez88]

love this song. jerry is the shitttt!

[pennsyltuckyjonesr]

sweet

[MilesMiller000]

Jerry miss u more than ever

[wutangbang]

beautiful

[Weirdnj]

RIP and thank you

[wellspout]

too bad about the lame-ass moog solo but even still, i miss the man

[ashcote1028]

right the moog ruined rock and roll!

[tommenright]

In David Dodd's Annotated Dead there is a quote from Robert Hunter, saying that this song is addressed to a pimp.

[howardb42006]

We will all meet Jerry if we chose after this life-may we all live on.....

[HippieJimi]

I heard Jerry's doin' 5 shows a night,

Up in Hippie Heaven.....SRO.... :-) Peace...

[gypsytwig]

I LOVE YOU JERRY MISS YOU LOTS!!!

[comaradella]

SOUNDS LIKE HOME

[twingats16]

sugaree is about a murdress in the old west

[johnnap02]

miss you jerry, thanks for the post

[evaniskind]

straight headies. love jgb. seems like jerry often enjoys himself alot when he plays with melvin and i can hear it in his voice. love my g-dead family. see yall at the shows.

[phunkegruuven]

Ive heard sugaree is about the witch trials....can anyone shine some light on this???

[volcom1551]

I am really curious about the motivation for this song as well...it is such a killer dead tune and it seems like JG is always having fun on sugaree jams

I never was able to see the dead in my life, but I did see Billy Kreutzman and Bonnie Raitt band jam sugaree on sunday at the Oregon Country Fair last year....unforgettable

[Alfrunk]

It was an offshoot of an Elizabeth Cotton song called 'Shake Sugaree'. Please don't listen to the slackwit moron talking about murderesses in the west. Look it up if you need.

[Alfrunk]

Look up Elizabeth Cotton

[greg23foucault]

I love Jerry Garcia.

[slipyourhips]

When I hear that voice everything just becomes..all right ;)

[volcom1551]

"Shake it up now, sugaree"

[youdugheep]

Robert Hunter was added to this tour after

Rachel Sweet quit as the opening act. I saw Garcia at the Palace in Albany and these 2 shows. Thanks so much for posting these "Home Movies" as we used to call them These videos are so cool to see. I remember the Meadowlands 9-2-78 had this system but were delayed so the "Lips were moving but nothings coming out"

[MasterFeelgood]

....and to think THIS was going on between the "popular" music transition from Disco to Punk/New Wave...

[propolispills]

Man, I miss the days when F.M. radio would broadcast a live concert when it was in town! times have Changed.

[tomsaccount1]

A radio station in Chicago still does it all the time.

[bigbuzman]

second set of that 76 show they played a wicked version of George Harrison's beatle song -I want to tell YOu followed by an absolutely amazing and Rare Moonlight mile off of Sticky fingers -- man those were the daze -- now I live in Charlotte 30 years and just jam a lot with great musicians and go see Donna the Buffalo as often as possible - about 15 times a year .

[bigbuzman]

my 1sr show was closing of fillmore west -lived in Menlo Park from 68 to 78 -saw JGB and Kingfish many many times -the most memorable JGB of all for me was a night in 76 - WOW - they did WHo was John - My friend Scott Wiseman and I we're there and we just had a friend named John fall off of a mountain about 3 daze earlier - it was pretty strange and oddly sweet for us. end of 1st set and I exclaim how sweet it is !!! and jerry is 4 ft in front of me and breaks into that one -

[hotrize]

looking for a song called "who was john" or something like that...used to have it on a tape but have since lost said tape...anyone know where i can find another version of it? or if anyones heard it also, song is about john the babtist, kinda goes "who was john, he was a writer" lemme know would be great thanks...oh yea and nice show here =o)

[gurdjieff66]

That is on the "Keith and Donna" album. The song is Jerry, Keith and Donna singing a capella. I don't think that album was ever released on CD.

[cornwejf]

This show was remastered and released in december, definately reccomend picking it up when you can, great sound to it man, true jerry jamz!

[ericineffible]

thx for the post,  i like this, very edgy. Excellent drumming.

[rlawton002]

love the fact someone just said Jerry is Da Bomb

[getheady]

OMG... I am in Heaven today... so happy I found this part of Youtube :) Happy Happy Girl ;) Thank you so much... sugar sweet!

[striperjoe29]

[spagNsc]

[skootmagoot]

[Insanebutlogical]

[spring41686]

The capitol doesn't even exist anymore

[TallBrianFromNapa]

Thanks for the great post! I remember taping this show off the radio (102.7 WNEW used to rock!). If memory serves, there was another radio broadcast of JGB at The Calderone Music Hall on Long Island the same week on 92.7 WLIR. Robert Hunter joined JGB onstage and did Tiger Rose and a KILLER Promentory Rider. Can anyone verify, correct and/or supply that show?

[ethandeitrich1]

February 29th, 1980

[doobs59]

Hunter joined JGB 2/28/80> I thought that was from Keene??They did a killer Promentory Rider 2nd set. I'm just counting on memory not research.

[Laight4work]

I don't know . . but i remember a great promentory rider from this era (w/jgb) . . i can play it back in the tape deck of my mind . . . (with dolby!)

[jasonic1123]

Yea I remember that Robert Hunter tune "promentory rider, territory ranger promentory rider why do you ride so high"...

[Laight4work]

yeah . . . now i remember . . Hunter sang it . . . he sat in with the garcia band . . superb stuff.

[davefusa]

@TallBrianFromNapa I taped the Calderone show. Still have the casette, is one of my favorites.

[davidaron]

I remember hearing this live on NEW-FM back in the day. Thanks, ethandeitrich for posting this set!
