"Before The Dead" is the video result of me bringing my buddy Mike Patterson, a video camera, and a microphone to the parking lot of a Grateful Dead show in Sacramento, California, during 1993. I did the edit in 2003. For some unknown reason, the video speeds up right at the beginning and during another point in the middle. I was going to post it on my website, but never did. Prior to posting here, maybe less than 15 people have ever seen this video. The time has come for the world debut... hope you Dead Heads enjoy this blast from the past!

  • Not miracle tickets, the Dead are known to let anyone in who wants to be there, tickets or not

  • @trpnstn1 Ha! The video started and I said hey that's Bam Bam!...He used to give me shit at every show for selling grilled cheese sandwiches...I was just telling my 16 year old who is a vegetarian that he used to say "the poor cows utters!"...WTF, It's just a buck...Grilled cheese your face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • RIP Bam Bam - what a great shot of him drumming at the start of this video, and a great example of his over the top drumming style. I was SO fortunate to have met him through the So. Cal. Rainbow Family and to have been blessed with his energy and music.

    P.S. - I WAS AT THESE SHOWS!!!! This tour is where I finally passed the 150 show mark!

  • @HuggiMa i dont

  • I wonder why the Grateful Dead attracted so many people looking for miracle tickets over other bands.

  • I was at this show!!! I actually remember it!!

  • bam bam on drums in the first 15 seconds and harry perry on guitar from venice at the last thank you for posting this

  • Are there any of videos of the Disco Bus. That would just be too cool.

  • @thcdreams654 You sound happy at least.

  • @QuEEnSkiTTolZ In a lot of ways the hip scene has gotten bigger now than it was then. You wouldnt believe. Most of the best festivals are in California though. Message me if you want info about it. Peace
