Man! Those were the days! Look at that crowd getting down!
Hey, now! We still do, c'mon and dance with us!
Finally, just the right amount of cowbell.
Naw... MORE COWBELL!!!
@@DingusTheGenius
Never tell the Neville Brothers how much cowbell to use.
No such thing as "too much cowbell".
That cowbell man Charley named me!!
What a great party!! the Nevilles are so coooool.. RIP Charles Neville.. say hi to Jerry
Rest in Peace ART Neville. AKA "Poppa Funk", he was the organ player for The Meters, prior to starting the Neville Brothers. If you are not familiar with The Meters, I highly suggest you check them out. There is a legendary LIVE performance they did for Paul & Linda McCartney's wedding reception on The Queen Mary in '76. Rhino issued it on CD ages ago. There is also a limited edition vinyl pressing on purple wax out now. The first 3 Meters LP's on Josie are primarily funk instrumentals. "Cabbage Alley", "Rejuvenation" & "Fire on the Bayou" on Reprise are considered their masterpieces. Allen Toussaint produced them all. Leo Nocentelli smokes on guitar and Zigaboo (drummer) sings some of the sickest funk you will ever hear. "Africa" , "Just Kissed My Baby", etc. The Meters will change you life.
That New Orleans second line beat will get you dancing every time!
I was at this concert in Oakland, CA.
You and me both
Great Jerry Garcia here. He's interested awake and curious. Soulful voice and silvery guitar leaps and soars.
My first bootleg was this show!! And from there, life changed forever!
From Cyril Neville:
“No Art Neville, no Meters, no Neville Brothers. I could go on and on. It all circles back to Art Neville.”
And his early relationship James Booker.
Brings joy to my heart to see Jerry having such fun and playing so beautifully. This whole thing's an absolute treat :-D
OMG! Just found this nugget. I had just moved to California and would have killed to have known about this!! Two of my favorite bands. What a gem.
This is.amazing Long Liv the Dead Nevilles and and Jerry doesn't get much better 🍄🌁🍄🌍🍄
Best version Of Iko Iko by the Dead.
Fly away home Artee.
I WAS THERE! First and only NYE Miracle Show! The bands, the parade, the party!
Where was this?
It's fabulous.
One of the funnest nights of my life! ❤🎉😊
Great quality, this was a great fun night. Very very lucky to have been here and every time the boys played with the nevilles..
A friend shared this clip with me today, which I had of course seen before, but WOW! What a wonderful set. Jerry always rose to the occasion when other musicians joined the Dead and this is a great example.
So much fun! My first GD NYE with my now wife of 26 years👍❤️
Woah. I’ve heard this performance before. I had a Deadhead roommate many years ago. I never really got the music. It just seemed kind of sloppy and jangly and amorphous. That roommate had a tape of this show (and many others) and he was listening to it one afternoon when I came home. He usually offered to switch the music when I came back - he was a considerate guy. But that one day I decided I didn’t care, so the tape kept rolling. After a few minutes of ignoring that hippy music like I usually did, something weird happened. It felt like the music crept up on me and started to pull me in. I was forced to pay attention, just as they were getting to this part of the show and the Iko-Iko. But I felt like l was listening to the Dead with a fresh set of ears - really hearing GD music for the first time. I had listened many times before without understanding, but suddenly I was GETTING IT (btw, I was completely sober that day). I abruptly understood that it didn’t matter if it wasn’t polished (and this performance is pretty messy, from an objective standpoint. They obviously hadn’t rehearsed with the Nevilles.) That wasn’t the goal. The real point was the great energy from spontaneous collaboration of 2 great bands. They didn’t even seem to know how to play the Harry Belafonte song, but the interplay between Jerry and Brent sounded incredibly inspired, with lovely, twisting intricate lines, segueing without stop into Do You Wanna Dance. It popped with energy and a rich, suffusing warmth……I could hear different dimensions and layers within the music that I had never heard before - something that could never be captured on an album or through a strictly scripted arrangement. I was stunned and thrilled by what I was hearing. Jerry’s guitar was sublime. And thus, this was the moment I was converted into a Deadhead. In the decades since that day, I’ve listened to hundreds of Dead shows (and even got to attend a few - though regretfully Brent died a few months before my first - I also saw the Meters once). I haven’t had a chance to revisit this one for a while. Compared to the rest of their amazing career, this is a fun, but mostly unremarkable performance. But it will always have a special place in my heart. P.S. RIP Art Neville.
that's how the boyz did it, just reeled you in - and with the neville's, just incredible - glad you got on the bus !
Joe Moe Love that story. Great path in.
Thank you for writing this gorgeous little tale.
a tale of sneaky but funky, magnetic seduction. Jerry was never better, never more full of joy for what he got to do for a living.
Welcome aboard Joe! What a great story...thanks fro sharing!
I was at this show! Great jam!
Wow, so jealous. 😛I can't imagine how much joy that was.
RIP Art Neville
I remember watching this on TV on the USA channel. I had dancing feet and a bending mind that night ✌🤠
I just a big time contact high,gotta love the goose bumps.
This is just beautiful, so glad i found your channel and thank you ❤❤❤
What a great run of shows! My first New Year's Eve shows. Four of the funnest nights of my life
This show was at the Henry Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland, California on December 31, 1987... a magical evening... Take the green and not the red tabs😂... The Neville Brothers were a great match for Jerry Garcia and his band...
I believe it was 88
@@factotumted Yeah... 87 or 88... it has been a long time...
Love this show and have various recordings of it from different tapers depending on where they were standing and what tape recorder they used. Out of all the "Knocking on Heavens Door " I've heard them play over the years this is by far my favorite (..so much I've left it in my will that it be the last song played at my funeral before I'm sent off)
That was one hell of a show!
Two great musical groups
Great combo, RIP Jerry!
I was at this show. I still have the ticket stub.
Wow this is amazing!! ✌❤
Outstanding.
Great show at at Three Rivers then off to Roanoke almost almost crashed going to the mountains it was the doses
My last New Year's show... what a great night it was
jerry singing knocking on heavens door always made more sense to me
Haha I lost it seeing a young Tony Hall walkin out there.
I absolutely love this
Thanks for posting! My DVD of this show only includes the KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR portion of this video... 😎👍
The DVD is also missing Promised Land from the first set so I posted the first set opener Bertha/Promised Land
Mickey's rockin' that talking drum!
Fantastic.,all over again
Brilliant playing! Only four aces now in a two-deck hand
Unbelievable !!!
I was there
Bet that was sweet, super high energy!
@@factotumted yeah
We were there. It was F’in fun.
Great video
Love it
Jerry sounds great and is having fun playing with the Nevilles !
I really miss Mickey's playing when he used actual drum sticks, instead of the big red paint brushes he uses in D & C.......just sayin'.
👂 🌎 ✌️ ☮️ ❤
hey now!! happy 80th birthday Aaron!!
Jerry's into it!
Awesome
Aloha anyone remember what year Tom Tom club opened for news year

Bobby Weir , THE KING OF CHEESE !!!
Guess this what got lko/Iko in the Dead repertoire.
Iko had been part of the repertoire for a long time prior to this show....
@@jimwillis6684 Thanks for the info!
SKEEEEWA
Someone tell me who the guy with ponytail tyed back next to jerry is.please
New Orleans guitarist Brian Stoltz, who played with the Nevilles at the time and has also played with the Meters and Dr. John.
Was someone playing a pool filter?
Thumbs down? Wheres the love .. Anyone who has never seen the Greatful Dead Live Just doesnt understand, im afraid. Rediculous song choices though.
I've not seen another guitarist go toe to toe with Jerry ever. The Neville's guitarist here is like he's invisible, he has no strength in his playing to even match Jerry's tone in strength and even if he did it's obvious that he's not laying down much here. But even Pete Townsend couldn't manage to 'fit in' while sitting in on 3/28/81 Germany. He was just doing basic strumming and his attempts at playing a lead was sad in comparison but Jerry was just so damn strong a player it was a monumental challenge.
I spoke to Brian Stolz years after this show and he told me that he wasn't even plugged into the soundboard but rather into a small Fender amp they had laying around backstage. Brian is no slouch on the guitar. You should check out some of his solo work or any of his performances with the Funky Meters...
@@profoffunk The mix was about as bad as the music was good. For instance, I could barely hear Cyril when he was singing the lead part and really not at all when he was singing harmonies. Aaron was pretty hard to hear as well. That's a real shame.
What set # was this??
Grateful Dead's New Year's Eve treat. This is set #3
