Summary:
Recorded on the 1978 tour promoting his Cats Under The Stars album, presented here is The Jerry Garcia Band live at The Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. The early show from this evening was simulcast live on WNEW in New York City and has long been a staple of Garcia collections, but relatively few have ever heard this second show from later that same night.
This particular JGB lineup included both Donna Jean Godchaux and Maria Muldaur on support vocals, who get a nice showcase of their own on the rarely performed gospel number "I'll Be With Thee." This recording is also remarkable for John Kahn being so prominent in the mix, which gives listeners a fine opportunity to hear the telepathic musical relationship he and Garcia enjoyed for so many years.
In addition to introducing fresh new material from the "Cats" album to the band's live repertoire, this performance also includes a diverse range of covers, including Irving Berlin's "Russian Lullabye," Hank Ballard's "Tore Up Over You" and The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." Plenty of the laid back grooves that often defined Garcia's style with his own band are found here, but this performance also features many moments of ferocity, with Garcia in highly focused and inspired form. The evening culminates in a remarkable encore of "Rhapsody In Red," with both Muldaur and Godchaux belting it out and Garcia shredding up a storm near the end. - เพลง

I’d be hard pressed to find a more soulful performance by any musician. Jesus God Almighty.
Amen!
I just commented "Good Gawd Jerry!
Then I read your post. 😁

Jerry at his best...one of my all time favorite tunes and best version. I played this for my 16 year old son the other day and he said"...Dad, what is that?!? I've never heard anything like that before!" The next day he was balls deep in GD and JGB. This is going to be fun.
Parenting at its finest
Hey now!
I'm jealous! My son just kinda liked some of their songs. Sigh. Other than that, he's a wonderful guy❤
@@MakeloafnotwarBalls deep means fully immersed in this context. Night school brother
Right on bro
i have to re-watch this every few months.
Patrick Siglin dude I completely get that. As I sit here and listen to it in my every couple month cycle. Lol
Patrick Siglin as do I friend
tbird420h The Rain 🌧 brings it around for me I’ve learned over the last few years. As I sit here a little wet from taking out the fur baby this evening I’m filled with smiles...
JRC76 give it a go!
And I’m back. Lol
Am I the only one who gets teary eye they hear this Masterpiece ?
Nope...everytime I listen
every time.....
I cry', and rejoice, inside. In 1978 I was 21, fried, depressed and 3500 miles from home. Everyday I'd put the studio version of "Mission in the Rain" on the turn table. That tune, and John Lennon's "I Didn't Mean to Hurt You", resonated with my troubled soul. Still do.
Every time. Every time....
I'm glad I'm not the only one..
Masterpiece
Over the years people ask why I love Jerry so much- here's the reason why
We get it 😉
Thank God, we get it..
It is mind-blowing how many songs Jerry knew the music and words to by memory without a teleprompter. It goes to show how deep it was in his heart and soul and DNA.
"10 years ago I walked these streets. My dreams were ragged dull.
Tonight I would be thankful, Lord, for any dream at all.
Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true.
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose."
This really sums up Jerry at this point in his career, especially in the context of frontman of the Grateful Dead, against his will. A humble man who couldn't find the light of his youth, even though it shone out from him onto all of us almost every second he was on his stage.
*riding tall. He says riding tall.
@@skennydeform9469 huh. I guess I can see that. I don’t know why I’ve always thought it was ragged dull…. L’chaim
@@kbbl102.5 It's definitely "riding tall"
@@mattlevitch4794 kind of the opposite of what I've always heard it as huh?
@@kbbl102.5 Misunderstood song lyrics are great 🤣
When you compose "Might As Well", you know you have a catchy tune.
When you compose "Mission In The Rain" you know you hit the soul bone, clean shot.
I was at this show ! I was 16 years old , love you Jerry man forever!
shout out to NJ
i’m in newark
Even though its already popular this is absolutely one of my favorite Jerry Garcia Band shows
I was at this show. You could see and hear Jerry's soul in this song.

Very lucky man.
Despite growing up on the Dead (my mom said I was singing Casey Jones before Wheels on the bus go round and round), going to several Dead concerts, and having a cassette tape suitcase full of bootleg tapes recorded by a guy called Dead Red, who lived in Brisbane, I totally missed this song until my 30s. I must have heard it, but just wasn't ready for it. Then one day it totally blindsided me, and I was instantly transported back to my difficult teenage years when my skateboard was my best friend, and I was skating from Bayshore and into the mission on another night ride, but I kept sliding, and falling from the wet ground, and just started walking. I didn't want to go home. I just wanted to skate, so I just walked in the rain trying to sort things out, until I was tired and wet, and still had a long walk up steep hills to get home. I still have that skateboard and the edges are all delaminated and ragged from many wet rides around Bernal Heights, industrial SF, HP, and the mission. While it brings on a little bit of sad nostalgia, it also makes me feel grateful for where I'm at now.
Skateboards make very loyal friends, cheers
Everything you gather is just more that you can lose
Agreed times 10! We need to live more simply, I learned the hard way!
So beautiful to see him smiling like that and having so much fun.
I'm with you....
All that you gather is just more that you can lose. My heart aches but the music heals.
No matter how painful
Saw many at the real Capitol Theatre. The good old days!
San Francisco in the good
Days, Jerry Garcia. All time
Legend him and Carlos Santana. Both from the mission. 2 Latino brothers
Mission style . Beloved by
The whole world. 24th folsom. God bless the mission.
I saw them both in the park in San Francisco more than a few times. This song is nostalgic because I lived in the Mission. I spent some intense days down there. It’s a beautiful part of town.
Goosebumps all over. Robert and Jerry could write one hell of a song together!
"JERRYBUMPS"
I miss jerry still
+Renee Senderoff Me too!
Renee Senderoff , music has never been the same, and never will, it's over...
Renee Senderoff can't replace the goat
Renee Senderoff we all do 😢
Forever and ever...
That fucking guitar solo though. Oh my god. The tears of joy it brings me. We're so lucky to live in this time of human history, to have had Jerry Garcia.
Fuk yeah
Jerry and John were a good team.
Jerry gets super stoked when he sings the "get some satisfaction in the s.f rain" part. I absolutely love this song. Always have from the first time I heard it on reflections.

Keith Godchaux and Jerry Garcia is the sweetest sound in music history, always has been...🌹🎧🌹
Nobody gives Keith his credit.hands down the most accomplished player they ever had..the whole Bobby thing killed him
Love how Jerry and John recognize Keith taking a very quiet path throughout the song, then calm down and let him speak his mind in his solo (very enthusiastically tossed over from Jer), then John and Jerry stand side by side playing quiet for Keith. and then Jerry comes in quiet like him before putting a stamp on it. Perfection.
Keith was by far the greatest keyboardist the Grateful Dead ever had IMO.
@@aaronkutten what did Weir do to him ??
@@stevenribler9743 fucked his wife
I’m just happy someone had the foresight to record this and load it up knowing someone else needed it!
Might seriously thinking about being my top 1 song of all time. Nothing makes me feel like jerry did.💫
yo tambien!!
Sketons from the closet yaaa Jerry Deal A AL album best ever
Don't you let that deal go down ❤
Jerry was gone when I was 12, but we sure did a good job of keeping his legacy alive around that time, and for a long time afterwards. The best I got was seeing the other ones with Robert hunter at the civic arena in Pittsburgh. Great show! When we left out of there that night I was driving and was really young and although i lived just about 12 miles outside the city, I had just started driving, and wasn’t super familiar with the traffic patterns around the civic arena. And ended up running a red light because I just kinda followed the car in front of me who ran it also. Lo and behold! The rollers were behind me and pulled me over. Everyone else in the car was tripping their balls off and about shit themselves. She ended up letting me go and told us to go straight home!🙄
I have walked in the Mission in the rain MANY times. I will always love Jerry. He just GOT IT!! Listen carefully people, his kind never comes again.
Same here my friend, so much love to you fam
One of my absolute favorite tunes. It’s my mourning dew for the JGB🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
my first time in San F, for the NYE shows, I visited the Mission. It rained and I called my dad and was all, DAD!!! I AM WALKING IN THE MISSION!!! JUST LIKE THE SONG!! He knew enough to be thrilled for me. BH
Oh man. Mission 1993 to 2002. Crazy fuckin times..strung out. Hating life. But still playin' the game. This song sums everything up. Goddamn for real.
@@AugustinePM Same here walking around The Mission on a Mission in The Rain. Crazy times.
My all time favorite Jerry song and what a great rendition of it. He looks so happy.
This is probably the happiest I ever saw Jerry look.
He always seemed happy at the Jerry Gracia Band shows. I never ever remember Jerry not looking happy at any Jerry Band show. However, on this incredibly fabulous rendition of an incredibly fine song; he does look nearly ecstatic!!!
I really just can’t stop listening to it over and over
Never the same since he left us...8/9/95
+Margot Sauers You are so right...never the same since he left. My license frame reads- at the top " 8-9-95"...the bottom reads "...and then he flew on" Even the Fare Thee Well shows have that special little thing missing. Take care, Jack
yet here he is
I am Grateful I got to see them quite a few times between '87 up to and including Jerry's final show at Soldier's Field. I was shocked and sad when I heard the news on the radio while driving a work truck on 08/09/95. Disbelief is the best way I can describe it. I perform lots of GD music on a volunteer basis for nursing home residents and hospice patients. The gift of music is a gift to be shared. Jerry's spirit lives on in every note and word. Forever missed he will be by all who loved him.
This song and video is truely medicine for the heart mind and soul . Jerry may not be alive in body but he is very alive and timeless / ageless through in his music and spirit
The absolute best. I am 25 years old and never had the opportunity to see Jerry. That said, his spirit and candor lives through me. While I have a degree in Jazz Saxophone, Jerry Garcia has proven to be a massive influence in my life. Jerry represents the true spirit and love of music. What a long strange trip it's been!
+colinfriedkinmusic1 I totally feel what you are saying! While I am among the luckiest souls of my generation (at 32) to have been able to experience multiple shows in my childhood (12 when Jerry died), I was too young to REALLY get it back then. I am a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, and added guitar to my list 7 years ago. I always say Jerry taught me how to play guitar because I learned by deconstructing Dead songs, and for that matter, being able to play those very songs is the whole reason I began to learn to play instruments in the first place. (first drum set at 10, played along to mickey and bill's solos on Dead Set and GD movie, had an affinity for jazz-style percussion ever since)
+colinfriedkinmusic1 Jerry loved the saxophone. I read an interview where he claimed that he made attempts but failed to bring Saxophone into the Dead. Thankfully, Jerry had other groups like Legion of Mary and the JGB who featured saxophone giants like Clarence Clemons, Branford Marsalis and Martin Fierro. I'll always remember Clarence blowing on "That's What Love Will Make You Do." He would build and tease then build again pushing the band to an amazing gush before smoothly passing the momentum and power over to a visibly excited Jerry who would just shred atop the cooking rhythm like a surfer dropping in at Mavericks.
I played with Martin Fierro a couple of times. He was fun to play with. I remember one set with Martin, myself on drums and James Talley on keyboards out at some Stinson Beach patio bar. We played a version of Hendrix "Little Wing" that was magical. At first I was just playing another cover and then, Wham, we were soaring above ourselves. Bartender, servers, patrons, traffic, even people walking bye all stopped and listened. I never saw that before or again. Great memory.
look up the flute story, "what happened you run out of talent?"
Spirit - that's right my brother. Good luck to you and God bless you -s
couldn't have said it better myself. I'm 26 and I never had the chance. Eats me up inside
Watching this today 7/9/20. Never got to see the old man live but this song hits home so hard for me. Tears have definitely come and gone just from listening to this tune alone. Love you jerry, even tho i never saw you. This music fills my soul
Man oh man.....Keith was a beautiful artist. This is really great to the uninitiated. But we all know, still check it. Thanks folks.
Great, thanks for noticing his playing. Great days.
I lived in the Mission at this time and have totally embraced this song. Now the Mission is tottering on the edge of gentrification, that is if the gent is willing to risk get robbed, shanked or shot. The Mission ain’t the same and it doesn’t rain anymore.
How gorgeous, how sad, how true to life. What clear tone, amazing note choices, phrasing and expression. The song and the playing come from a deep, deep place. Beautiful, frightening. Thanks for posting this.
You can tell that Jerry is having a blast playing this one. Makes me smile to see him so happy. We miss you
I revist this song every so often, and still get massive goose bumps.
Jerry was absolutely brilliant on that song .
I miss Jerry so much it hurts, I'm just thankful I got to see him live as much as I did
Jerry was touring with The Dead that month as well I saw him in Springfield! What a warhorse!
"When you're in the song, you're with Jerry. It was very palpable the other night. We did 'Mission in the Rain.' I actually saw him and [lyricist Robert] Hunter, walking along the Mission District. That was the image in my mind." ~ Phil Lesh
Andrew Marsh wow that’s powerful stuff 😍
Love Phil I love all the gd members even Donna
Lucky. His SO SOUL. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER....NOBODY CAN DO IT LIKE JERRY, THANK U I SAW HIM.
Great quote. So true.
He was happy playing this song,at the end his face lit up as his fingers danced across the strings!
Written about the Mission District in SFO, where Robert Hunter was living. One of his most reportorial songs. Clear, concrete, and concise. But, per usual, the music makes the song. Feels like a rainy day melodically. I like the uptempo shift after the intro. Rarely hear that. The performance is passion. Jerome Garcia, now performing in Heaven's Band, played great while down here! I saw him live twice, GD and JGB, in DC in the early 80s.
just as a mom nurtures her young, Jerry nurtures his creations. he worked hard at his craft. his passion. words cannot describe.
The world was so much better then, yet here we are. See you again Jerry.......
One of the best things about this clip is seeing Jerry's emotions. He is so into it. As he is singing these great lyrics, he sounds at times as if if he's about to cry. True, he had been performing this already for a few years, but it's almost as if he and his band are realizing what a powerhouse song they have hit upon. One of the greats in the Garcia-Hunter canon.
Absolutely
😅😁😚😆🙂
Jerry
I know....RIGHT...
Right on brother 😎
I was at this show. Those Capital Theatre shows were some of the Best!!!!
It's really amazing the bands the big name bands who played there.
passaic nj stand up!!
I just heard a grate Garcia story involving him buying a round of rootbeer floats for all the customers at an A and W if anyone has any more Garcia stories would love to hear them.
I just seen Maria up in Norwich NY this past summer in 2022 and she was as Lovely as Ever
I have to say I watch it twice a week! That along with midnight moonlight!
He must be so happy that his work not only meant so much but still effects so many and can change your very soul still to this day over a quarter of a century after death and transport you back to the best times ever had. With out this music I would surely be depressed if not suicidal he was a gift to us all..I swear he could look out at the crowd and you would think he is looking directly at you and give you that reassuring nod and smile that all is well in the world.
Not sure anyone else noticed, but I was wondering what got Jerry smiling around 8:17. It seems that he lowered his guitar volume too much (or off) around 7:50 and didn't realize that he was out of the mix until around 8:12 when he tried to play a louder chord. Puzzled by the silence, he looked down, turned the volume back up and returned with a big smile on his face at 8:17. Such a great version of this tune.
WHO are the people who thumb's down??? This is gorgeous!
it was opposite day
Best song in the world!!
Just love this......Getting the tingly feeling like we all should.....Thank you for never letting the music stop!
The world could use ya now Jerry
This is so true, I pity the fools who missed out on the good ol' Grateful Dead days, tripping thru life and not a care in the world besides when the next show would be! Good good times! Peace to all and remember, Ain' t no time to hate!
best video on the internet
I was at this show. They broadcast the early show on the radio, I went to the late show, and the next night they released officially (Warner Theater). What a great show.....40 years later I still remember it. I'd say I really miss Jerry, but we have his music, on tape and on video so he's with us every day.
Thank God!
Maybe best rendition of this song. I can hear the pain in Jerry’s voice. Sometimes he can make his guitar cry. Other times it’s his vocal. Just mind blowing 🤯
This has become a weekly song for me. Gets me thinking about good times in the past and A good reminder to keep the good times rolling. 😎
Think I was there! Hard tor remember things from those days!
Jerry’s vocals at their absolute best.
Good Morning JerBear. Happy Birthday week. We love you 😍 ❤
So, I got this thing.
This is the song that most epitomizes Hunter for me.
It is so personal.
And I think Jerry makes it that way
He dies that with Knocking on Heavens Door, too.
The Days Between!
Maria Muldaur voice is phenomenal .. wish she had been hired to sing with Jerry and the Dead more...
OMG, no wonder I crossed the continent multiple times to hear this guy live.
I followed him all the way to Europe in 1990
Freakin Jerry’s like well Keith ya missed your solo so I’m just gonna have to drag you thru this wether you like it or not . 🎸
Listen to Jerry sing. The pure energy and emotion always takes me aback. So gorgeous in his playing and his emoting.
I was born in san francisco
Ca. The mission district.
The great Jerry garcia.
How blessed were we to
Have Jerry garcia and Carlos Santana. To of
The greatest guitar players from the mission.
San Francisco. Ca
OK, I'm pretty sure no one will read this, but I just feel I had to put it out...
I was watching some other video on TH-cam just now and it was almost midnight here in Brazil. It's been some time since I last watched this performance and something made me come back once again. It's just over midnight now so I looked at my Facebook memories and I think I've found the reason I was brought here today...
Exactly two years ago I performed this song at the music school I studied in, singing and playing bass, inspired by this particular video. At that time I was playing bass for three years and was just finding out how to actually project my voice and utilize my vocal range, but didn't quite know how to control it yet.
So many things came out wrong that day! I'd just bought a new strap, but it was uncomfortably low and I couldn't adjust it, then I began the first few notes on the bass in the wrong key and that also influenced the notes I sang (so the first few verses were really rough before the drums actually came in), the drummer I played with - which was also a student - sped up the song towards the end and completely stopped playing for four bars (after the verse "All the things I planned to do I only did halfway).
But still, while I kinda cringe at the first seconds every time I rewatch my performance, it was so worth it! By the middle of the song I kinda left behind all my concerns and went head-first into the moment and the music. I kept thinking "this is where I wanna be for the rest of my life, this is what I want to be doing". That feeling is something I'll never forget and I thank Jerry for this!
It all gets read by someone someday...wonderful story...
And read again..✌💜
Interlochen?
Thanks for your remembrance. Your writing reminded me of these lyrics found in the Car's song, "Bye Bye Love"
...It's such a wavy midnight
When you slip into insane
Electric angel rock and roller
I hear what you're playing...
Great story ! If you’re up for it, please share a link to your performance - I would love to check it out.
Perhaps my favorite song from perhaps my favorite GD/JGB era...'77-'82. Some SERIOUS member berries here!
This one should easily make it into your Playlist..
1978 was such an excellent JGB touring year (GD also)! Jerry was loving it, smiling here with a glow, and a chuckle here and there at 1:55 and 3:00...Miss you!
tears of joy right here
I have walked in the mission in the rain. Wow, this song reminds me how much I miss san francisco.
we feel ya forever jer - jerry projects his youth into timeless eternity
this is how I love to remember him.
I don’t know what it is about Jerry but he just makes me want to be a better person.
This is such a beautiful show! Jerry seemed so happy, totally on top of his game, having a hell of a good time. And Donna wasn't doing any caterwauls. Both in this song and Rhapsody in Red she (along with Mouldar) sang beautifully. Donna was always an excellent studio singer, but many years after the fact, she lamented that she often couldn't hear herself correctly in the monitors at GD concerts, and thus her tragic squalling like a mashed cat. But apparently the acoustics were really good on stage at Capitol Theater, and she and Maria sang wonderfully. It's bittersweet to see Jerry so happy and animated here. Heroin for Jerry became like a crocodile that drags you under the water and rolls you. This show was before he got dragged under. Miss you Jerry!
BTW, I was born in 1962 and spent my first eight months in S.F.'s Mission District, after which my parents moved to southern Marin. So this song takes me back to my earliest roots. And as I grew up, I felt really honored that the Dead were our local band. Still do today.
twelvmnkys ,F
Jerry and Bob were often difficult for her to harmonize with at times because of their unique ennuciation.
\8]=
Donna could sing on key when Maria was standing next to her.
Cant stop listening to this .. forever!! 🔥🔥🔥
Chills and goosebumps every time with this masterpiece.
Learning this classic music 🎼🌄
I miss this magical man and these magic moments so so much! Truly heartbreaking and I thank everyone who contributes these awesome memories to youtube, I hope the music never stops! Love love love to all!
Its just the best there ever was man.
I turn and walk away....jerry man just fantastic
Donna looking gorgeous though too, and she sang like an Angel that Night
My favorite version of this great song. Maria Muldaur has the voice of an angel.
Such a Great tune..Jerry sings it beautiful 😍
Best Mission I've had the chance to hear yet!
Great version of this song. This video looks like it was recorded on one of the early Ampex low-speed video cameras Bob Wikersham had from his time at Ampex.
Happy Birthday Jerry!
Don’t make cry anymore this year….break my heart…T
This is the best Mission. Argue with me. 😀
Man i miss this this guy
i just got my face melted
Best JGB set!
Them's fightin words around these parts ........Happy New Year

Jerrys always good for making your chest swell and giving you goosebumps... What a beautiful performance..
I turned around to see...walking along in the mission in the rain...
