Grateful Dead - Uncle Johns Band - Alpine Valley 1989

kate420, I took my boys in the 70s & 80s...Alpine & the Uptown theatre in Chicago... It was a buzz for all of us!

who wears short-shorts? BOBBY wears short-shorts. lol.

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...

There is NOTHING in the world like a Dead show, and the scene that surrounds it...I am proud as hell to call myself a Deadhead!!!

i sawthis one, then. it was great high and living in illinois back then. i moved on in 1996. at 51 i feel good.

this song got me through heroin withdrawal, i wish i could give back to the grateful dead as much as they've given to me...

ah but you do! Just by listening, thats all they ever wanted!

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 !
