I was there, it was a very beautiful cool night. One of the most laid back shows I saw. I remember thinking it was rare it to see Jerry in a sweater. I recall a few of my friends being annoyed by Bobby's pink guitar. I sat in the stands for the first set. Then my girlfriend and I made are way to the front and spent the second set very near the stage close to Jerry. It was I nearest I ever saw him play and was mesmerized. As the show ended the band accompanied by Bill Graham casually wandered of stage and walked for a minute or two with the general crowd exiting the theater before heading to a backstage area. I was right behind them and was amazed at how relaxed and oblivious they seemed of being among the crowd with no security or entourage at all. For a few moments I felt as if I was with them and that I had reached the center of this beautiful phenomenon. I sensed then just how damn laid back and cool those guys where and how they emanated kindness, humor and goodwill. I was back two weeks later to see the Jerry Garcia Band. I was 20 years old, great times!
It's so cool when you have a pretty good soundboard tape on for 25 years that You have periodically listened to over 100 times and then to see actual video of the show. It shatters the image that's been in your mind's eye and replaces it with an even cooler picture of late 80's GD show reality. The quality of the whole recording is so good. Thank you much to the dude that shares these amazing full show videos!
used to have that shirt with dancing bear floating outta the greek via ballloons electic smile plastered upon his silly face i peeked at the greek classic shirt
We now return our souls to the creator, as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness. Let our chant fill the void, in order that others may know. In the land of the night, the ship of the sun, is drawn by the grateful dead.
I always loved the Greek Theater, it sounded so good. I've always thought of this place as the holy ground for the Dead, I'm sure others would disagree, but my circle of friends always thought so too. I was at this show, remember it well.
+Scarlet Begonias Yes I too love the Greek. Indeed it is a holy ground, and I was there many a time and witnessed many miracles there. Tears ran from starting eyes, mouth agape in amaze. It's the prototype for the Dead Vehicle. Imagine three more Greeks, one just above the lower, and another two facing, thus forming a sphere, with the band in the center. Gravity will have been altered to some extent, as certainly we shall learn to do. Can you imagine the possibilities? The potential of all those seats filled with psycho-activated deadheads? You, we know what was created during those shows, and with a perfect geometrical arrangement, the energy produced during the music leaves me in no doubt. Here is the machine in which we could manifest the unimaginable power of collective consciousness, coordinated by the music we syncopated to. There's nothing we couldn't do, nowhere we couldn't go.. at all. The laws of physics as we know them are subject to our creativity. And so shall we do, one day.. and then we will have evolved, matured, and truly become gods. As was intended.
Only time i made it to the greek was a wsp run and it is definitely hallowed ground. Great venue for panic and we agree on it the dead legacy and mark their
Yea I've had this happen a couple times now not even a search I turn on TH-cam and there it is some show I was at in the 80s what a time to love the dead......
I am so happy to love all eras/epochs of the grateful dead. Some more than others of course, but it a thing where I'd rather have 1994 with Garcia than 2013 without him. It's like life, some you win some you lose.. I'd hate it if I only liked 1970-72 or nothing after 1978. They were a work in progress always . Also I think there is just as much sadness involved with the GD as there is joy. But isn't the world that much brighter having known this bullshit?? They reflected something intangible about life in the music and scene. Like , a universal unspoken truth made more sense with them around
Exactly what I have said and feel. Lotta negativity around post Brent years with the playing and raw moments that many jaded fans would dismiss etc. and now with mostly just acceptance of the emotional reality that nothing is forever and the play of dandC is a shell of the first 30 years but better than no dead. I dig the loyalty and respect the others for keeping the torch up high but i do ponder on this fruition of the dead legacy and the juxtaposition of now and then and the mind sets of the band members and the old and new heads. personally like 95 dead more than anything post jerry by default.
This is hot stuff and Jerry looks good here. They were ripping it up from '88 through '90 and hit another good stretch in '93. What an awesome set list. Miss you Jerry & Brent. Those were the days. Going to be in Chicago for one last go-round and looking forward to being with this tribe one more time…...
87 - 91 Were admittedly, according to Weir, the Dead''s best years. Let us not forget about Jerry's 10 nights on Broadway . Or the six Dylan/Dead shows that summer. Not to mention that Touch of Grey hit number 4 on the Billboard chart in July of 87. They appeared on David Letterman that fall too.
I was there! This was I believe my 2nd Dead show ever. We were high on the grass (the lawn!) and I remember it was so steep I felt like I kept sliding down the whole show. We slept in Golden Gate Park that night. Probably wouldn't ever do that again
Voodoonola, you rock! Thanks for this. Must have been a chilly late summer evening, as Bobby's wearing clothes :D. Also, I think this was the final show with Jerry playing Tiger, not counting the pinch-hit appearance it made 7/9/95. Though it's definitely Wolf during space. That has to be the heaviest Other One of the 80's/90's, love the way they pile on that minor 6th chord.
This was my first Dead show. I was travelling through the States as an Aussie hippy and found pure gold xx. Thanks to however it was who gave me my first miracle ticket... Because it was sold out, they put massive speakers in the basketball courts next door for a free outdoor show. I was very impressed to say the least. I was a lucky one, 32 shows later I returned to Oz.
Hey Mitchell, I hope you are still dancing a year later. Listening to Brent sing we only got one world and it made me want to reach out to you on the other side of the planet. Peace brother
@@BlueSpoonFarm absolutely brother. We are both breathing in and out like everything else. But those tunes gave us a reason to connect consciously xx I’m 52 now and a single dad, but will always be a deadhead.
I don't know if I'm going thru a mid life crisis or something, but lately it's been so hard to watch these amazing shows without getting unusually emotional...anyone else missing the Silvered Haired Angel a lot more lately?...and missing Brent EVERY DAY my fellow Heads!!...I absolutely love EVERYTHING The Dead has EVER done, but in my opinion, the Brent era was the greatest time for the band...Jerry was so happy, and absolutely fed off of Brent's energy...I am pleading with anyone out there......please invent a Time Machine?...stay Grateful all and many many years of great health!...✌💀💨🍄🎵 🎶 " Such a long long time to be gone.... and a short time to be there...." ~ Grateful Dead 🎸
oooh ur not alone....i cry a lot when i watch these shows...out of love and gratitude for the opportunity to have experienced a true once in a worlds creation, miracle.
I was at this show wiith my wife and our 3 month old daughter. She went to sleep. No wonder shes a dead head. But her 1st show was JGB. On the eel river
Gee, I wonder what all those wafts of smoke are... LOL. I love how the Dead looked like they just shopped for their clothes at a Walmart before coming on stage. They were so awesome.
Thanks for these many shows you loving share with so many in need of a few moments of bliss. These represent an oasis of common love. Your selfless giving is deeply appreciated by a large sphere of common souls sharing positive vibrations to make our Mother Earth a better place by thinking of others. 🌹😎❤️🌞✅🎸🇺🇸👌💡🍄✌️
Yes, it really is a laid back show. Clear and clean. Jerry is very present. It's not "crackling" or a big breathing monster sounding show but fine and good ol GD. Sweet. Frost shows would be like this too. These summer home shows were so relaxed for the band and we all just did our thing together. No hype, no stress. The Winter Oakland shows would be the ones that really dug in these years. Rowing the ship through heavy seas, working the machinery of the universe. This is light wind calm seas easy sailing.
What an awesome show! I got pumped this on a throwback from TH-cam, and here I am still listening to it 2 hours later! Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? I sure do miss Jerry and Brent. Those were good times indeed. Thanks again Voodoonola! Chincat2002
VoodooNola never fails to deliver! 1989 was a high water mark. I'm thankful that this exists at all, but somewhere in the multiverse there has to be footage of Bobby's playing during the climax of the China/Rider transition. Jerry made Bob/Bob made Jerry. God this is good!
WOW-- Sound quality and the sequencing is perfect, Phil is in the mix perfectly, his Modulas Graphite is a work of art as is everyones playing. Why did it take me so long to find your videos voodoonola???? Thanks, really an amazing collection!!!
2022 Sure that being here 33 years later and still thinking of them all with us to delight us with their magical music, is almost unbelievable but true. 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎸 🎹 🎤 😊
believe it or not - this was very typical of the grateful dead when they were at one of the "zeniths" of their career - smoking hot and riffing a lot of "miles davis" if you listen closely - playing in berkeley - basically their "home base" - great set list - especially the second set - playing in the band - uncle john's band - playing in the band - warf rat - ending with foolish heart - how excellent - after the show - we all went into san francisco for some "hunan" - what a great city - and what great memories - walking out - i distinctly remember seeing mars with a beautiful crescent moon hanging like a pendant - you had to be there to know what i am talking about - one of those moments in life where you knew it really couldn't get much more "beautiful" and/or much more "perfect" - long live the grateful dead - ! ! ! - amen . . .
God bless you Jerry. I ♥ you and your music. 100 years from now all the shite music will pass away like inadequate buildings trying to endure a hurricane. Your music will endure like this. See you in 200 years or so the next next next life haha
Nah, sadly, shite music will never go away. When people are living in caves after a nuclear holocaust, there will still be someone playing Madonna on an old battery-powered boombox
This was one of my favorite venues to see the boys... My God, it is hitting me so hard right how much I miss them. Thanks for posting this up voodoonola! 😁😁😁
Glad this exists- out of the 10 or so Greek shows I saw, this one was the best. But I only wish that the camera person had zoomed out for The Other One- I remember the lights playing off the background was particularly great during that tune- very synchronized with the band pounding the tune out onstage. It times it felt like we were all on a roller coaster, yelling at the top of our lungs!
I was at this show too. Spent three days standing on the rail right under the Keyboard. These were crazy times. One day had backstage passes another I was able to sneak in through the front gate. That was pure magic. I wore blinking skulls on my head to every show for about 4 years. Also I named my car FULISH
I remember wearing this tape out,over the years!!!⚡💫⚡thanks for the video!!😂SMOKIN SHOW!!!I LOVE THE GREEK!!! SUCH A GRATE PLACE TO SEE A SHOW!!! I got to hear a Panic show there with Carlos Santana,the peeled it back with a smokin Cream Puff
I always loved the three day format of the Greeks as the show time would get earlier each day....but we would of course still go out late each night...waking up just in time for the 2pm(?) show the last day was always a start! Miss you Jer!
I was dosing hard on some owsley that this head kept for over 20 years during this concert. Mydland's voice transcended and I immediately felt a connection to his pain. What a talent
would have loved to have seen Jerry Reed sit in with the Dead.......it's 23 years now and I still miss those magic moments.....thanks for finding these nuggets.....
Gr8ful Heads we got legal cannabis here in Massachusetts!! We just voted it in, it's a good start now we need to legalize the rest and end this war on (drugs) people. Jerry was having so much fun during this period, thank you to all who had a hand in bringing this show to us.
i walked there and stumbled back to my house at xx MLK Way....or as we called it, the milky way house.... the greek shows were my faves...frost was 2 chilly 4 me....who's got the axe? I had graduated from cal 3 mos earlier....
Aliens in The Other One. A reminder that when they say, "the music plays the band" that we're talking about catalysts to the other world. Those who passed. The Grateful Dead. Alien science. #onthebusin87
I was there for both nights, it was everything I though it would be. After the first night we met some folks heading to Golden Gate Park, Jefferson Airplane and Wor were playing a free concert. We got back to the Greek theaters in time to a good spot for the VW van and enjoyed the parking lot scene before heading in...
What a blessing it was to see them then, after Jerry's coma and everything else. You never know what you have until it's gone. I'm trying harder now, but still it too easy to take things for granted. Love life people and be thankful and forgiving. As Grandpa used to say, "to overlook is beautiful"!
Glorious shows...those were some very challenging tickets to get - small epic venue....so much fun to have people dancing in the streets of Berkeley....Great memories
last greek show! thank you. amazing, stuff ..i was there love this ChinaCatRider -- the transition jam and Jerry's headlight always give me chills and love the post-2nd verse jam in The Other One ..
The Gratefuldead was America as far as I’m concerned & still is with Bobby keeping it going & Philly also ! ❤️❤️❤️🐰🐇🪐👽🕳🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜🧚♀️🧚🏿♂️🧚🏼💖💝💘🥰😍😘love them for as long as they last or I last then if I die before them ? I can b with Jerry my soulmate ! ,!!!

The numbers collide
I had front row for the last show ever at soldier field.
Sad night, but 89 -95 I was most likely at a dead show.👍🏻💯💥
The legendary Pepto Bismol Pink guitar!
I was 4 y/o but this audio/video makes me feel like I was there.
It's so cool when you have a pretty good soundboard tape on for 25 years that You have periodically listened to over 100 times and then to see actual video of the show.

I peeked at the Greek ALL 3 of those awesome shows in late August of 89 -The spiritual experience I had was amazing it will never be forgotten !
used to have that shirt with dancing bear floating outta the greek via ballloons electic smile plastered upon his silly face i peeked at the greek classic shirt
someone the other day asked what the greatest thing about america was....i quickly replied, "the grateful dead". people just stared at me and i smiled
USA is forgiven all its considerable sins because of the grateful dead
So good!
We now return our souls to the creator,
as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness.

YES!!

Everything is exactly perfect in this universe and I know for sure bc of the beautiful gd.
I can not imagine my life,my world,without ,the insperation....of THE GRATEFUL DEAD! I FEEL BLESSED!

Great show! Forget how good 89 is.
These Full show videos are really aweswome. Can only be appreciated by thr true Afficianado
Thank you very very much
Its so weird and wonderful to just be casually cruising through youtube and run across a show I attended so long ago... Wow.

i loved being reminded of how good they could sound in late 80s-early 90s
I also enjoy the reminder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said, the best era of the band beyond description!
Oh yeah! And how blessed we were ..those of us on the bus back then!!!❤✌️
I still get the chills when the crowd sings Not Fade Away
I was there too--15 years old and mind blown. I never went home.
Lol..I know what you mean...I had a similar experience but on the East Coast and in 1980...best years in my life!❤✌️

It’s beautiful and perfect FR.
Hi there again , I was listening to Dead+ Co.but changed back to this ! Can’t help myself , I just love them more then I love myself !
Some really great shows in 89.
Lots of them. I want to around fifteen.
I was at this show wiith my wife and our 3 month old daughter. She went to sleep. No wonder shes a dead head. But her 1st show was JGB. On the eel river
Dude I am still at THIS show. out loud laugh
You leave part of your psyche behind at a happening like this. It's like there isn't room for it in your future present.
I know what you mean !!!!!!!!!!
So true@@thomaswarrenbechtel8361
🤗
"Jack Straw" is one of my all-time favorite Dead songs!
I was also a stagehand at this show! Awesome!
Gee, I wonder what all those wafts of smoke are... LOL. I love how the Dead looked like they just shopped for their clothes at a Walmart before coming on stage. They were so awesome.
Seems like yesterday almost. Happiness times of my life. Thank you for archiving in video.
Much love!
#TodayInGratefulDeadHistory! #IWasThere! As always, many thanks to Voodoonola!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AS ALWAYS LOVE YOU JERRY GARCIA BAND ❣️❣️❣️🐷🐖 CINDY BELL
The sound is so good on this one!
it was such a great show. so glad I was there
WOW-- Sound quality and the sequencing is perfect, Phil is in the mix perfectly, his Modulas Graphite is a work of art as is everyones playing. Why did it take me so long to find your videos voodoonola???? Thanks, really an amazing collection!!!
It's a bit of a meme at this point to always mention where Phil is "in the mix". In fact, I'd say he's a little too loud here. Far from perfect.
Phil's never too loud !😊😅

God bless you Jerry. I ♥ you and your music. 100 years from now all the shite music will pass away like inadequate buildings trying to endure a hurricane. Your music will endure like this. See you in 200 years or so the next next next life haha
for the life o fme I cannot comprehend how 106 people don't like this! They are fookin eejits
Nah, sadly, shite music will never go away. When people are living in caves after a nuclear holocaust, there will still be someone playing Madonna on an old battery-powered boombox
They surely did save lots of us loss souls ! I love them for that but their music is another thing for us lost people !
Haha. Dude. You are too much acid.
This was one of my favorite venues to see the boys... My God, it is hitting me so hard right how much I miss them. Thanks for posting this up voodoonola! 😁😁😁
I was in Berkeley that week....saw this and Shoreline.....
Glad this exists- out of the 10 or so Greek shows I saw, this one was the best.

I'm pretty sure I made one of these shows. I remember leaving home without a ticket, and finding a miracle. Forever grateful.
I remember wearing this tape out,over the years!!!⚡💫⚡thanks for the video!!😂SMOKIN SHOW!!!I LOVE THE GREEK!!! SUCH A GRATE PLACE TO SEE A SHOW!!! I got to hear a Panic show there with Carlos Santana,the peeled it back with a smokin Cream Puff
One of the best latter years The Other Ones I’ve ever heard. Jerry in full command here. And it slips right into an excellent Wharf Rat to boot. 💀⚡️🌹
I always loved the three day format of the Greeks as the show time would get earlier each day....but we would of course still go out late each night...waking up just in time for the 2pm(?) show the last day was always a start! Miss you Jer!

I was at this concert....... alot of fun The Dead everytime.....man I was old then.
Caught this one back in the day after the epic Cal Expo shows IIRC. Great show and part of a wonderful journey for this Detroit boy.
these shows were so worth flying from the East Coast to see, thanks for posting this!
would have loved to have seen Jerry Reed sit in with the Dead.......it's 23 years now and I still miss those magic moments.....thanks for finding these nuggets.....
Setlist Times, don't mention it ;) Rest In Peace Jerry
wow, why didn't that work???
Gr8ful Heads we got legal cannabis here in Massachusetts!! We just voted it in, it's a good start now we need to legalize the rest and end this war on (drugs) people.
Jerry was having so much fun during this period, thank you to all who had a hand in bringing this show to us.
"Good Times" by Sam Cooke
Phil took the gloves off around this period. He was so good those last 5 years or so of their career.
Voodoonola you NEVER disappoint me!! Such a sweet, crisp, show!!
this is America being great RIP Jerry
the two drummers just incredibly awesome ♥
THIS is great holy shite
The Dead is all I've listened to during muh corona shutdown.
i walked there and stumbled back to my house at xx MLK Way....or as we called it, the milky way house.... the greek shows were my faves...frost was 2 chilly 4 me....who's got the axe? I had graduated from cal 3 mos earlier....
I love how Bobby can change his voice high up or down , that’s a miracle !
I’m bun beck now by the way , I got compromised I guess so was off here for 3 months , had to change my name up !
Aliens in The Other One. A reminder that when they say, "the music plays the band" that we're talking about catalysts to the other world. Those who passed. The Grateful Dead. Alien science.

There's vocals and sounds not coming from this world. Except maybe Brent.
Alien science.....yessssss.
The d/s in this will take you on boat ride through underground canyon rivers on another world.
@@davidreppert4216 yep! can't figure out why they had his mic turned up so loud?!
@@davidreppert4216 Was groovy and out of site! Just like Jerry's other brother.......th-cam.com/video/R32DXz-6sJs/w-d-xo.html
Out of Space into the Other one into Wharf Rat into Not Fade Away. Epic set. Truly something special.
I was there for both nights, it was everything I though it would be. After the first night we met some folks heading to Golden Gate Park, Jefferson Airplane and Wor were playing a free concert. We got back to the Greek theaters in time to a good spot for the VW van and enjoyed the parking lot scene before heading in...
GD at their absolute dreamiest. I was in the clouds all the way home...
What a blessing it was to see them then, after Jerry's coma and everything else. You never know what you have until it's gone. I'm trying harder now, but still it too easy to take things for granted. Love life people and be thankful and forgiving. As Grandpa used to say, "to overlook is beautiful"!
I can remember my temporary insanity induced by The Other One...
Mind shriekingly ball-blasting insanity during that last crescendo before descending into Wharf Rat.
@Burr Anderson Regionals?
Glorious shows...those were some very challenging tickets to get - small epic venue....so much fun to have people dancing in the streets of Berkeley....Great memories
I need a Miracle!
Great stuff Voodoonola, ahhh the good 'ol days. We are so glad you still care. Thanks again.
last greek show!
thank you. amazing, stuff ..i was there
love this ChinaCatRider -- the transition jam and Jerry's headlight always give me chills
and love the post-2nd verse jam in The Other One ..
Mellow scene and Jerry looked great and Brent was smoking the keys as always. How I miss and love my family. (~);} #vegankitchenrainbow
This is most excellent Grateful Dead.
I love this mix.Billy's the man.
The summer of '89 were some of the very best shows they ever did.
Fantastic show. Thanks for sharing
80s Dead is my favourite Dead!
Dang, I was there for the full run. Greek was a great venue. Looking out to the bay and rockin to the Dead.
The view at the top .

The famous Greek!!!
Thanks....Again. Another Gem.
Thank u Mr. Voodoonolar for letting me say what I want ? I do try to b careful ! ❤️❤️🐰🐇🌹🌹😘
Probably the best Jerry looked this entire decade.
+Chris Ducat stop acting like a foo with your hand to your ear,eat elephant ears dumbo.
nah bro. 80/81 scary Jerry looked the best.
eff???
+kevin christie Definitely, he looked like he was probably hitting the gym a little bit that year.
I think around this time he was hanging in Hawaii a lot & scuba diving?
In my oppinion,1983 to 1990.....the GOLDEN YEARS!
Brent’s era. The best era!😊
The Gratefuldead was America as far as I’m concerned & still is with Bobby keeping it going & Philly also ! ❤️❤️❤️🐰🐇🪐👽🕳🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜🧚♀️🧚🏿♂️🧚🏼💖💝💘🥰😍😘love them for as long as they last or I last then if I die before them ? I can b with Jerry my soulmate ! ,!!!
Box of Rain, tears to my eyes every time...
the grateful dead saved my life again today
my first time @ the Greek....heaven
great show, great venue -- listen especially to the fine soloing on Uncle John's Band
Two really good sets of songs. A nice mix.
