- Jerry and Bob appear in four of the show's eight segments, chatting with Dave and performing "Deep Elem Blues" and "Monkey and the Engineer." Also included is the Cold Open, where Dave teaches Jerry how to play "Proud Mary," the show intro and opening remarks, and the show close, where Jerzy Kozinski offers to disguise himself next time as Jerry.
We miss you Jerry and appreciate beyond words your impact on the world.
♥️life is a bowl of Jerrys. I remember sneaking down to family room to watch letterman and being sleepy the next day at school
Jerry was a great guy and prolific musician
The way Bobby and Jerry look at each other like best buds always gets me.
one thing we leaned after jerrys death is how much bob loved jer
I am 25 years old as I write this, and I discovered the dead roughly two years ago when a college friend showed me and I jumped right on that bus! I have now seen dead and co. a couple times and listen to shows from all years daily. I cannot express my jealousy towards all you old cats reading this! I wish I had a Time Machine!
Welcome aboard, personally I've been "on the bus" since about 1978. It's a hell of a ride, for sure. Later & Peace.
@@thadcashin6962 yes me too,..my mother wouldn't let me go in Boston 1978, as it was on a school night..but I see now they did play on the weekend ..so IDKY I wasn't aware of that. A Sunday night I think it was. 😥
Enjoy the ride brother, I hope you are catching the last remaining D&C shows this summer (2023) as it looks like the train is slowing down and just might be headed for the station
Well Zack, I can tell you that hitch-hiking thousands of miles over 15 years from (1980-1995) coast to coast, seeing them in 28 states of 50, and all the other stuff, I can tell you it wasn't always easy. It was a blast, though. Seeing my 133rd show in Las Vegas with Thippha was a real treat...especially since the Sphere brought to life many of the visuals that used to be swimming around in our heads.
More fun than a frog in a glass of milk
bobby was REAL high....
This was the best version of Dave's show ever!
Thanks; I noticed that others' uploads of this were lacking, so I wanted to put up what's probably the clearest quality that exists (even with the faulty Cold Open).
I put myself in the place that never heard these guys before & I can’t help but think how wrong most people are when they think of these guys. Mastering these fun folk tunes is certainly not what I would’ve guessed the dead were about - before I knew them so so well like I do now. Know what I mean??
I'm in similar shoes.
magicians do music as well
“On the road again “ Is a great dead song
For my money they’re the greatest American rock band of all time. They cover the old timey folk tunes, blues, rock and roll, jazz….it’s the sum of what American music is filtered through the 60’s counter culture.
These clips make me so happy, I can't even express it. I love these guys.
Definitely
A friend of mine in college was a true Dead Head. He had about 100 cassettes he had recorded from their concerts following them around the country.
This is my favorite version of Deep Ellum.
Also never paid much attention to Bob’s peculiarities but this viewing he looks incredibly zonked.
crazy eyes! but i love em! lol
This was just about 7 years before I saw them for the first time in Ann Arbor, MI in '89.
Paul is peaking ! Lol love it! This clip always makes me happy
I was a junior in high school at this time and watched Dave almost every night. He had some great guests and I heard some great music. Never have been a huge Dead fan but love this interview and the scene more than the music.
The eighties were a wild time.
Great memories. Chris Elliott, Larry bud Melman, dropping stuff off a building, viewer mail
15:47 Bobby's visuals kicked in. I think he handled his shit pretty well.
I agree that could not have been easy.
I miss this version of the show .... Paul and the Band always a tight band , but I love the small studio sound as opposed to the larger CBS sound . I was 9 years old and staying up late in secret watching this version of the show .
Dude, our experience was exactly the same. I remember sneaking out to the living room and staying up extra late to watch these shows. I would pay for it the next day by falling asleep in class, but I didn't care. I enjoyed the shows that much
Nice
@@ballsrawlshell yea
If the head fits, wear it. Classic Weir.
Watching this on Tuesday, April 13 2021, exact day of the week, and date 39 years later when this was filmed.
David is such a great interviewer love him. and of course the dead rules.
I live in Deep Elem, nice!
Those were the days...
That Deep Elem was beautiful 😢
THANKS! I missed this one. Got it now. I'd love to have a record of all the commercial break music the studio audience hears from that great band and guests.
I have hundreds, probably thousands of such performances. Maybe in time, though I’ve shared a few of them.
It's amazing to me how well Bob can play while so very obviously tripping balls. That's the Dead for you
It’s a superpower
they pretty much stopped lsd in the 80s. it was more cocaine/heroin.
@@JohnBrown-vx3rxyou forgot about the "dose Bobby" game, Bobby was getting acid whether he wanted it or not. And Jerry never went half a year without smoking DMT at least from '67 until his death. AFAIK Phil dosed almost if not every show and Billy eats mushrooms before going onstage to this day.
@@newusernamehere4772 really? dmt? he smoked heroin I know
@@newusernamehere4772 That is all 100% FALSE
When it hit, jerry looked at bob like jeez! You're high as a kite! But he had his back.
The difference in appearance between Bob and Jerry reflects their lifestyle and life span.
You should work for the space program eh
Went to both Spectrum shows April '82. Ain't much I remember about them, though.
Man......it was a good year......
Seeing them tonight as Dead and Co!! Boulder 🪨 Colorado July 3rd 2023
Well, one of them.
@@dongilleri saw Jerry 7/1 during bertha
Jerry !! Bobby !!
They were in a good mood and played great a ( and long for TV, in my opinion) Deep Elem
Bobby is so blitzed
You can tell Jerry and Bobby knew Dave was still nervous and were playing with his head. The early days.
So glad i grew up in the 60's & 70's....There will never be music like that again when people actually played music...
the scene is still alive there is a lot of real music still being played. you can get old, but try to not get out of touch!
@@nickg7738 Music of today SUCKS in every direction you look plain and simple...Out of touch would be to think otherwise...
Hahahaha😂 Jerry “it hurts”.😂
bob hitting the mic was tasteful and purposeful
16:54 "we'll be right back so Bob Weir can blow his nose" Lmfao
Bob Weir is only 34 here... and he was a part of, first hand, every significant moment of the counter culture of the 1960s
Monkey & the engineer one of my favorites
Jerry aka Caaaa,ptain Trips is VERY MISSED!
Bobby wearing Pants.
Mind.
Blown.
😉
Ha ha. So true!
I wonder if Dave was thinking "wow, jerry garcia on my show is a really great Late birthday gift" considering his birthday was the day before.
💚💚💚💚
Glad Jerry can hold a convo and not make it awkward with silence like bob lol
Bobby was fucking lit that night. I think he was on coke and LSD at the same time... very funny clip.
@Bob Weir thank the good Lord for stories of tragedy narrowly averted
@Bob Weir looks how I feel when tripping! I like to think we could be friends
Bobby on coke and LSD is like butter on toast
Such a lame comment as if you are on LSD no other drugs will touch you.
Love Jerry after monkey and the engineer to bob” well you sing good…” then bob “ I know”
Bobby, lol
How could anyone like that other guy over Letterman
Bob was definitely tripping. Anyone who thinks otherwise is foolish. Why else would jerry be constantly looking at him laughing cause he’s obviously high. “More fun than a frog in a glass of milk” enough said
I feel like jerry lost the coin flip over which one of them would attend the interview atleast half soberish. Bob is clearly wigging out and it's impressive he still performed excellently
I'm hoping Bobby will play the Monkey 🐒 and the Engineer out in Vegas memorial day weekend 2024🎉.
Big Martin dreadnought! D-35, maybe.
Yeah, looks like the D-35. I got mine in 1970.
jerry was only 39 years old here
Folks the next everly brothers
16:56
Hilarious
Bob looks really stoned
I have friends who followed this band religiously. I gave them a fair shake, but was always bored out of my skull.
