Jamel, I hate to keep bothering you about this, but could you please try to react to the video of Rory Gallagher performing Bullfrog Blues on The Old Grey Whistle Test. It doesn't have millions of views but it is a killer live performance by one of the underrated and under appreciated guitarist of all time. The bass and drum solos alone make it worth viewing. 👍✌️
An old head that I knew when I was a kid told me “There’s a dead song for every season of the year, every time of day and every feeling you’ll have along the way” So true..
@@lukefish7562 I experienced Birmingham show in 95, this was the song that really brought that magic moment. I was almost 16 and the people in the balcony were beating the rhythm on the backs of the seats.
I was bit young for the Grateful Dead glory days but I went to 4 of the 5 Fare Thee Well shows including night 3 Chicago and got to sing not fade away too and with the band and everyone there. Then into the streets. It had always been my dream.
I know this is a controversial opinion but 80's era Dead is my favorite time for the band. I love the musical chemistry that Jerry and Brent shared and those call & response lines during the jams are still magical to this day. I'm still amazed at how in synch they were.
Will never forget chanting this with thousands of heads leaving RFK to head back to the lot for the last time . A chapter closed, but the music never stops ⚡️ ❤️
Watching the inauguration today with my kids, you could see RFK in the background at times. The last RFK show was my kid's mom and I's first date.... NFA.
my first show was 7-17-94 and that’s one of the things i remembered about the show, everyone starting the NFA as we were leaving the show. It was awesome.
@@barbarascotto3873 It's probably one of the most covered songs in the history of R&R music. Love the fact that the Dead changed how they played it throughout their decades of playing.
@@brucegrossman3531 True that ...Ice nine publishing was totally cool with it, but Rhino has issues that they should just let go.....Like Jerry use to say "Once we are done with it they can have it"
After Jerry died, when Bob & Ratdog played at Hampton Casino in NH, the crowd must have chanted 'You know our love will Not Fade Away' < clap clap> for 20 minutes after the encore
Saw RatDog in 2000, a little over 5 years after Jerry passed. It was the last song before the encore, and that crowd chant has rung in my ears these 22 years since. Found it on the Internet Archive the other week. What a blessing.
Ive been going thru the darkest depression for the past 3 mths. In Oct, I had memories from the 4th grade that I'd supressed, arise. Extremely painful, I was rocked with sadness and pain that took me down to a dark place I never knew existed. Watching this, I started crying tears of pure joy!!! Watching the boys and Jamal, filled me up with so much peace and love. I cant thank the GD, Jamal and all my bros/sis enough for this magical moment. I've hope!!! I'm happy and content at this moment.... So so grateful....... LOVE ALL OF YOU!!
Listen to lyrics for: Ripple; Uncle Johns Band, and most importantly, Franklins Tower. About finding your way back home. Opening stanza: “In another time’s forgotten space, your eyes looked from your mother’s face.” Chorus: “Roll Away the Dew: Physical to metaphor: Just as the dawn’s advancing sunlight rays evaporate the morning plant dew, the sun is rolling away the dew. This is metaphor for bring ‘your’ light, ‘your’ warmth, ‘your’ love, as you find your way home. My life: suffering, misery, agony, pain. Deadhead for over 50 years. They bring smiles, tears of joy, fun, and the Dancing!’ Culture: Everyone welcome. Try to find any archival live concerts. Love, healing, and peace for you!
I saw a NFA at my first show - it was one the songs I was not familiar with as a teenager. I was already hooked before they got to this song, and the crowd’s reaction put the cherry on top for me!
no way, i was there!!! i had floor/ general admin, but if you walked up to the top of the bowl you could watch like seven different fireworks display from different neighboring cities. amazing day.
I remember that happened when I saw Ratdog at the House of Blues when I was 18, my dad looked at me and said "now imagine a whole stadium doing that, it's a bit a different" and I was a bit sad that I couldn't see that happen. 2 years later, I was at Fenway Park seeing Dead and Company with the crowd doing the thing, back in the stadium.
Jerry & Brent getting in the groove, feeding off each other, almost like they're oblivious to the 70,000+ deadheads in attendance. It was all about the music & the chemistry.
its especially sad when you consider how well and healthy jerry was doing before brent passed. if he could have held on, theres a good chance we'd still have these two geniuses today.
Great video, Jamel. There was a period where they’d do not fade away into a song called goin’ down the road feeling bad. Check that out, you’ll love it.
I seriously got the chills reading and remembering just now. When love is real it does not fade away. The other kind is ok2 but the real is, the shit. Thank u whiskers, jamel, the grateful dead, universe. Man, just listen to the entire show bcz the energy builds on itself.
@@faaaaaaaaaaack I was there. Four hours of Dead magic. They played for two hours doing the Workingman, country and folk stuff and then took a smoke break. Apparently the Germans didn't know what was coming because over half of them left. When they came back out, Weir had his hair frizzed out and they proceded to kick rock and roll ass for another couple of hours. One of the best shows I ever went to.
'89 was a great year to see the Dead and so was '90. I loved that I saw many of those shows. So many good memories. The boys played a lot of great shows those last two years with Brent. R.I.P. Brent and Jerry.
Jamal you are so cool! 😎 I have been a deadhead and a nurse in HS LPN in BOCES for 50 years!!! Went to all the tours on the East Coast since 1973!! You are our People Hippies have loved black folk always! 🖤 So many were there with us in the beginning they all knew it was a love scene between the people,including the boys in the band. Even Paul Mooney did a playboy comedy sit down and at the end smoking a Cigar with a bunny on each side said.".where did those cool, loving white people go..yeah man those Hippies!! Great people, no prejudice in their bones at all.."I miss them" So this tune ' Not Fade Away' is a Buddy Holly song where he used his contemporary Touring buddy the Bo Dudley's "Beat" bup ba Bup ba ba bup bup baa! Thanks Jamal ! Most deadheads are poor or living paycheck to paycheck, too 90% of us! Had trouble with da po po, too they don't like us! Love ya , man! God bless!
I was at this show, on the road for the summer with the Grateful Dead & it was the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. I love how you capture the joy we felt when we saw the boys play. Long live the Grateful Dead #NFA
They had some epic sets in the late 80's. Not necessarily their golden age, but, some would argue one of the best eras of the Dead. This one was always a crowd pleaser. What song wasn't, am I right? Peace brother.
Best I can tell, Jamel has not done any Buddy Holly yet. That’ll Be the Day, Not Fade Away, Everyday are some greats to start with. He was ahead of his time as a singer songwriter
I’m a Lubbock Texas boy, love to see great bands like the Dead, the Stones, and Beatles playing his songs and the influence he had on Rock n Roll. If ever in Lubbock, go to the Buddy Holly museum. 👓
After ten years of being in the military and working like a madman, I went back to college. It was 1983 then. The group of people I dropped in with were all Dead heads, and they’d go anywhere the Dead were playing, and they had bootleg recording gear in pieces and would record every show! They had hours and hours of the Dead playing live, all over the country. What an intro for me to live Dead music, and it was clean sounding! I’d almost forgotten until I heard this! RIP Jerry G.
Thanks for this,Jamel!! They encored with this song, at my very first Dead show, Alpine '86. I still remember looking around in wonder, at everyone clapping and singing back to the band. And I knew I was finally home~ 💜✌
The way Jerry and Brent just throw it back and forth so smoothly and powerful. Love is real, NFA! The crowd relaying NFA is the most loving part of shows!
If you reacted to an entire Dead show I would be there. Lol. You remind me of a younger me discovering the Dead. Loving it Here! Quest ON! Brother Jamel!
Love those live Performances you can see how they feed off themselves and off the audience. Can't wait till we get concerts and small gatherings back. You should do "women are smarter" and "the greatest story ever told" two just fun songs.
we'd bop out into the night, boppin, bangin, dancin, to the parking lot, sharing the love, joy-realizing that we'd all just been IN on something singular and special...so cool to see how you get it, Brother Jamel..RIP Brent and Jer... I loved your Caddy story..."seemed like EVERONE was in that car..." We were ALL in the car, and now you're there with us, J!
There's nothing like walking out the venue with thousands of people still singing the lyrics and doing the hand clap - I can't wait to get back to going to shows!
Buddy Holly & the Crickets did NFA back in 1957, he tragically died in a plane crash in '59 along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. I was at a memorial service for my uncle Robert just yesterday which was near Richie Valens' grave site. They played NFA over 500 times in concert throughout their long 30 year musical journey.
My dad had Buddy Holly's greatest hits on 8 track we'd listen to in his '81 Buick Regal on long trips. Holly gave us so many great songs and the Dead are musicians in the greatest sense. Love that they gave a nod to Holly's fantastic song.
Back in this era of the Dead every once in a while you’d hit a night when Jerry was happy, smiling and Bobbin up and down you always knew that was gonna be a great show….
As soon as it’s normal again you totally need to go see a Dead and Company Show!! You can come to Colorado and I will show you around Shakedown Street!!!! ✌️💗😊
@@dixiechatty958 Absolutely!!! I’m almost positive that Bob Weir and The Wolf Brothers are doing a live streaming show this Saturday. Check it out. I’ll take live music anyway I can get it right now, lol! ✌️💗😊
Shakedown st indeed!! Dead and Co was the greatest surprise of the last 20 yrs. I never imagined it would be as good as it is...hope to see them again after we all get back to normal one day!!
Thanks Jamal!! The unique thing about the Dead shows was the interaction between the band and the crowd. Sooooo tight. They fed off each other synergistically. I think the band members were fans of the Dead just like the crowd. Bombs by Phil would shake the building and your whole body would vibrate. They always brought tears of joy/bliss to me at least once every show. Keep up what you do Jamal!! Thanks again.
This version of this song was played as the Bridal March when my wife and I got married. She's a dead head hippie music chick. I'm a classic rock guy. Our recessional song (when we left the venue) was The Best of Times by Styx. (The nice thing about getting married in your 30s is you can do whatever the hell you want. Nobody cares about tradition; they're just glad you're getting married!)
In '95 I was working in a blues bar in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and one day I woke up to The Grateful Dead on the local radio, and they NEVER played the Dead. That was when I heard he had passed away. He was in a treatment center but he had done so much damage to himself over the years that his body couldn't handle getting clean. I took every Grateful Dead album I had and went and opened the bar early and played every track I had. It was a terrible day that I will remember forever. So glad you are getting into these guys, keep it up.
When we went to San Francisco, we went past the old house where Jerry and the boys used to hang out and have some" parties, "😎🌿could still the haze over it! Great band, Great City, Great country., 🙏🤞✌️Here's to a great future... 🗽
I was at this show and it's the show I compare all others to. When they played this song the place was going crazy, all 80 thousand of us dancin' and groovin' to the beat. Jerry and Brent taking turns with the lead. Phil thumping. It was unbelievable. Totally a spiritual time. The crowd was one.
Super performance of this song, with great back and forth between Jerry and Brent. But throughout that jam, don't forget to listen to Phil's very crisp and propelling bass line! I agree with others below. It's about time to take on Help --> Slip --> Franklin's. That's gotta be next!
Jamal, I've seen you go from Mungo Jerry, to Stevie Ray, to Grateful Dead and I couldn't be any more proud. Thank you for keeping great music alive. You are appreciated sir!!
Big time Deadhead - almost 100 shows. I've been waiting for Jamel to do this one, one of my favorite Dead tunes. To me it is an affirmation between the Dead & the Deadheads that our love for one another will never fade away! If it is the last song at a show you will hear the audience clapping and chanting "You know our love won't fade away" on the way out of the arena. For those who don't know the Dead did tons of covers, however they were always done in the Dead style. As the saying goes "They aren't the best at what they do, they are the only ones who do what they do".
I was able see the Grateful Dead in New Orleans in 1988. Being there was like a religious experience. When they did " Knocking on Heaven's Door", The Bangles and Neville Brothers came on stage and sang together. It was Nirvana.
On a good night, the energy coming off the stage was palpable. It swirled through you and reflected right back to the band. We all felt it. There was no experience like it. And now I'm weeping.
Thanks for doing my suggestion man! I’m a big deadhead and that Jerry and Brent back and forth is my all time favorite dead moment, I’m glad you agreed that it’s awesome!
Nothing beats coming home from work....and Jamel has a new Dead reaction! Sooo good! "He's Gone" Foxboro Stadium...same year. 1989 And, "Stella Blue" 5/13/1977
Good version, cover of a Buddy Holly song (~1957) they did for many years. BTW Since you enjoyed Jerry playing with Traffic, you might enjoy some stuff from when Bob Dylan went on tour with the Dead in 9187, The Dead played their 2 sets then they were the backup band for Bob D in the third set. Dylan considered Jerry one of the best interpreter of his songs. Here is a set from that tour I can recommend the especially "Joey" from this performance. th-cam.com/video/ayOGcnn01OQ/w-d-xo.html
I would love to see you react to this keyboardist, Brent Mydlnad’s soulful singing on Blow Away Live Philadelphia 7/7/89. One of his many shining moments in the band. I feel like his passing was one of the final nails in the Greatful Dead’s coffin. Just weren’t the same without him.
@@larryholcomb2165 we flew out to Colorado from NY for what unfortunately turned out to be Ratdog's last two shows. The last night at the Ogden Theater in Denver, 7/12/14 they did this, walked off stage for the encore "break" and the audience was still chanting "you know our love will not fade away" so Jay Lane came back and just drummed to the audience and went back into another few minutes of the song, before Bob and the rest of the band came back out and pick it back up for about 2 minutes before the actual encore. It was very cool to experience.
Jamel.... These Grateful Dead videos are straight up MOVING! What a joy to watch someone become a Deadhead like this in real time. It's like the feeling of being at the show and being brought to (happy) tears. Amazing. I'm not even exaggerating when I say you could do a channel strictly Deadicated to Grateful Dead Reactions and you would NEVER run out of material, nor would you be blocked. And I would watch every single one, along with every other head out there. Thank you very much for these gems. This stuff spreads good energy

“There’s a dead song for every season of the year, every time of day and every feeling you’ll have along the way”
So true..
So true
It’s like a little secret that only deadheads know… ☮️ ❤️ 🎶
Preach on, old heads!! ✌❤🌞
this music just makes you feel good, everyone should listen to at least one dead song a day
Grate comment 🎉
A dead song a day keeps the depression away.
Perfectly said and you hit it right on the head so true
I listened to Grateful Dead since 1984 I'm 42 now
1 is the minimum. Recommend 4-6. Daily
Jerry looks at Brent. Brent Looks at Jerry. I Look at Jamel. Jamel looks like he's flying. We Groovin.
Dude he gets it and its great when you get it. The Grateful Dead by definition is the greatest band ever
@@direwolf8124 Thats not just a matter of opinion ..but a matter of fact.
@@damnright4 It's just science. Because they did it on stage... without a net, as it were.

Brent & Jerry coulda formed a new religion!
This is a great example of why I will will always love Brent and his contribution to the legacy.
The best
He just said Phil bombs, Jamel's about to be slinging grilled cheese in a parking lot

1989 was a good year for the Dead. Damn when they were on, they were ON.
1990 too till Brent left us
SO TRUE. I saw them at RFK. Man oh man. On fire!
I was lucky enough to be at this Buffalo show and the two RFK shows a few days later. What a great summer!
Yes indeed. 89 at Giants Stadium, '90 at Orchard Park.
@@mrheem44even 91 was great imo with Hornsby helping them keep going
OMG.... How many times did we walk out of a show with 50,000 of us yelling "KNOW OUR LOVE WILL NOT FADE AWAY!" in hate-ending unison⁉️
Into the night we went
I was bit young for the Grateful Dead glory days but I went to 4 of the 5 Fare Thee Well shows including night 3 Chicago and got to sing not fade away too and with the band and everyone there. Then into the streets. It had always been my dream.
We did it last week in Boulder! It was beautiful
now that right there is a musical conversation going on between Jerry and Brent. And When Jerry was smiling, you knew it was gonna be a good show.
I know this is a controversial opinion but 80's era Dead is my favorite time for the band. I love the musical chemistry that Jerry and Brent shared and those call & response lines during the jams are still magical to this day. I'm still amazed at how in synch they were.
I'm 100% with you..love the 80's Dead the most of any other era.
That's the best part of the Dead... everyone has their favorite era, lineups, specific song versions...and they're all correct.
Yep. Jerry was having a bunch of fun
80's Dead and JGB was the best!!
Magical days to see the dead. R.I.P. Jerry R.I.P. Brent thank you for the memories.
Will never forget chanting this with thousands of heads leaving RFK to head back to the lot for the last time . A chapter closed, but the music never stops ⚡️ ❤️

The music never does stop. They're a band beyond description. Did you hear what I just heard? And, for some reason. We keep on dancing! So fun!
Michael Dooley yes the RFK chants leaving stadium were great. The fall Capital Centre shows were special as well.
@@chrisworthington1027
My first show was Cap Center fall 94
my first show was 7-17-94 and that’s one of the things i remembered about the show, everyone starting the NFA as we were leaving the show. It was awesome.
Please god do the full Pembroke Pines 5/22/1977 Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklins Tower. It's what the people need
Absolutely! Jamel may not recover! That trifecta is a killer, no matter what show yer talkin bout. DO IT!!
That was a great show through and through.
Love love love that idea! 6/9/77 also had that great trifecta!
I do think the H>S.F set opener from 5/9/77 at Buffalo War Memorial is a great choice as well. It's anOther One of my favorite shows.
I’d like to see him react to the Sugaree from that show. My all time favorite.
The original from Buddy Holly, back in the late 50's, is under three minutes. The boys can take a little, and make it alot.
The Dead MADE this their own!
Rolling Stones covered it also.
@@mklsgl that's how I first knew this song, by the Stones, but like I said earlier, the Dead made it their own.
take five beats and run with it. Love it.
@@barbarascotto3873 It's probably one of the most covered songs in the history of R&R music. Love the fact that the Dead changed how they played it throughout their decades of playing.
The Dead will never block you. They let you bring recording equipment to their concerts.
I think the Garcia estate has had some issues with people doing certain things on TH-cam. It ain’t right.
Actually Rhino might. They did the last time he did a song from this show. Official DVD.
@@brucegrossman3531 True that ...Ice nine publishing was totally cool with it, but Rhino has issues that they should just let go.....Like Jerry use to say "Once we are done with it they can have it"

When the crowd starts singing it back to the band it makes the hair on my neck stand up

@@joefelice5062 I can imagine. The first time I saw it was at rothbury and was in the front row. Face on the ground
I get goose bumps on my arms.
"Bop, bop, bop--bop-bop" is from the original Buddy Holly recording.
And that riff comes from Bo Diddley who the dead jammed with in 1972 at the Academy of Music
Please react to the Buddy Holly version.
@@kevinborchers3522 --The "Bo Diddley Beat". George Thorogood is famous for using it too.
Really glad you are enjoying the dead. Always puts a smile on my face and it's great to see one on yours as well!
Man, Jerry had so much lyrical presence here. He was totally locked in.
This is the show I met my wife at. She was picking up trash and I had trash bags... We got married 5 years later and tomorrow is her birthday.
no way, i was there!!! i had floor/ general admin, but if you walked up to the top of the bowl you could watch like seven different fireworks display from different neighboring cities. amazing day.
Was there too, love to have a time machine and go back!! Brent years were the best!!
I was too.
Albany? If so , i was there as well.
Not fade a way ,, Came out in 1971 ,, The Video was 1989,,
Great full Dead's version 1971 ,
When covids over you know we all gonna meet up at a dead & company show! You too Jamal✌🏻
Can't wait..
Jamel would be a hit at a Dead show with the way his shoulders start dancing
Go see dark star orchestra.
Your Florida show is on me!
NFA was often used as the second set closer with the crowd clapping and chanting until they came back for the encore.
Oh the fun we had!
Good times.
How I miss it.
I remember that happened when I saw Ratdog at the House of Blues when I was 18, my dad looked at me and said "now imagine a whole stadium doing that, it's a bit a different" and I was a bit sad that I couldn't see that happen. 2 years later, I was at Fenway Park seeing Dead and Company with the crowd doing the thing, back in the stadium.
Sometimes a DOUBLE encore! 🥳🥳
Jerry & Brent getting in the groove, feeding off each other, almost like they're oblivious to the 70,000+ deadheads in attendance. It was all about the music & the chemistry.
Nothing like a Jerry Brent conversation on stage. It's like watching a duel. These guys were just having fun
I miss Jerry and Brent still to this day. This band changed my life.
its especially sad when you consider how well and healthy jerry was doing before brent passed. if he could have held on, theres a good chance we'd still have these two geniuses today.

Great video, Jamel. There was a period where they’d do not fade away into a song called goin’ down the road feeling bad. Check that out, you’ll love it.

Jerry and Brent having a good time
The Jerry-Brent interplay from this era was absolutely amazing, and you can see how much it lifted Jerry's spirits.
One of the best Dead videos of all time! A rare occasion where Jerry was smiling, animated & all in! I have watched this often over the years.
LOVE IT! And great to see new Deadheads on the scene enjoying it!
They had some epic sets in the late 80's. Not necessarily their golden age, but, some would argue one of the best eras of the Dead. This one was always a crowd pleaser. What song wasn't, am I right? Peace brother.
Eternity. Killed Me.
R.I.P. Jerry and Brent. I've been a deadhead for over 40 years, say many, many shows
Love is real my friend. I needed this, thank you.
Best I can tell, Jamel has not done any Buddy Holly yet. That’ll Be the Day, Not Fade Away, Everyday are some greats to start with. He was ahead of his time as a singer songwriter
Highly influential! One of the first rock and rollers on the scene!
I’m a Lubbock Texas boy, love to see great bands like the Dead, the Stones, and Beatles playing his songs and the influence he had on Rock n Roll. If ever in Lubbock, go to the Buddy Holly museum. 👓
After ten years of being in the military and working like a madman, I went back to college. It was 1983 then. The group of people I dropped in with were all Dead heads, and they’d go anywhere the Dead were playing, and they had bootleg recording gear in pieces and would record every show! They had hours and hours of the Dead playing live, all over the country. What an intro for me to live Dead music, and it was clean sounding! I’d almost forgotten until I heard this! RIP Jerry G.
Bringing back memories! I MISS YOU PAPA BEAR!
Thanks for this,Jamel!!
They encored with this song, at my very first Dead show, Alpine '86.
I still remember looking around in wonder, at everyone clapping and singing back to the band.
And I knew I was finally home~ 💜✌
I know that feeling! Hoping to feel that just one more time.
The way Jerry and Brent just throw it back and forth so smoothly and powerful. Love is real, NFA!
The crowd relaying NFA is the most loving part of shows!
If you reacted to an entire Dead show I would be there. Lol. You remind me of a younger me discovering the Dead. Loving it Here! Quest ON! Brother Jamel!
Loved when Jerry was giddy and smiling. It was going to be a good night. 😊
Not Fade Away is the theme song for the Dead Heads, because Our Love Will Not Fade Away! EVER!!!
I get a kick out of how you are reacting to the Dead's music, brother Jamel ! You feel it, I feel it, everybody feels it ! U R a wise man !
Those two! Playing the dozens with their music. Absolutely wonderful.
Love those live Performances you can see how they feed off themselves and off the audience. Can't wait till we get concerts and small gatherings back.
You should do "women are smarter" and "the greatest story ever told" two just fun songs.
Yes! Excellent suggestions!
we'd bop out into the night, boppin, bangin, dancin, to the parking lot, sharing the love, joy-realizing that we'd all just been IN on something singular and special...so cool to see how you get it, Brother Jamel..RIP Brent and Jer...
I loved your Caddy story..."seemed like EVERONE was in that car..." We were ALL in the car, and now you're there with us, J!
This was always a love song between the audience and the band.
There's nothing like walking out the venue with thousands of people still singing the lyrics and doing the hand clap - I can't wait to get back to going to shows!
@@jp-bl5vk gunna see as many Dead&Co and DSO shows as I can
@@dylanhedderman2001 DSO just announced some shows.
Buddy Holly & the Crickets did NFA back in 1957, he tragically died in a plane crash in '59 along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. I was at a memorial service for my uncle Robert just yesterday which was near Richie Valens' grave site. They played NFA over 500 times in concert throughout their long 30 year musical journey.
My dad had Buddy Holly's greatest hits on 8 track we'd listen to in his '81 Buick Regal on long trips. Holly gave us so many great songs and the Dead are musicians in the greatest sense. Love that they gave a nod to Holly's fantastic song.
when jerry starting given'er i laughed so hard at your reaction. Greatest band to ever walk the earth! more dead more dead more dead!
Back in this era of the Dead every once in a while you’d hit a night when Jerry was happy, smiling and Bobbin up and down you always knew that was gonna be a great show….
As soon as it’s normal again you totally need to go see a Dead and Company Show!! You can come to Colorado and I will show you around Shakedown Street!!!! ✌️💗😊
Or Hollywood!
@@dixiechatty958 Absolutely!!! I’m almost positive that Bob Weir and The Wolf Brothers are doing a live streaming show this Saturday. Check it out. I’ll take live music anyway I can get it right now, lol!
✌️💗😊
Shakedown st indeed!! Dead and Co was the greatest surprise of the last 20 yrs. I never imagined it would be as good as it is...hope to see them again after we all get back to normal one day!!
Thanks Jamal!! The unique thing about the Dead shows was the interaction between the band and the crowd. Sooooo tight. They fed off each other synergistically. I think the band members were fans of the Dead just like the crowd. Bombs by Phil would shake the building and your whole body would vibrate. They always brought tears of joy/bliss to me at least once every show. Keep up what you do Jamal!! Thanks again.
This version of this song was played as the Bridal March when my wife and I got married. She's a dead head hippie music chick.
I'm a classic rock guy. Our recessional song (when we left the venue) was The Best of Times by Styx.
(The nice thing about getting married in your 30s is you can do whatever the hell you want. Nobody cares about tradition; they're just glad you're getting married!)
i was lucky enough to see them live multiple times in the 80's and there were LOTS of nights like this - the band just clicked with each other.
Might be worth dipping into some Buddy Holly, legend of rock
In '95 I was working in a blues bar in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and one day I woke up to The Grateful Dead on the local radio, and they NEVER played the Dead. That was when I heard he had passed away. He was in a treatment center but he had done so much damage to himself over the years that his body couldn't handle getting clean. I took every Grateful Dead album I had and went and opened the bar early and played every track I had. It was a terrible day that I will remember forever. So glad you are getting into these guys, keep it up.
I love how Jerry and Brent are so in tune with each other, musically and physically.
Not Fade Away into Throwing Stones back into Fade Away. Love those ones.
When we went to San Francisco, we went past the old house where Jerry and the boys used to hang out and have some" parties, "😎🌿could still the haze over it! Great band, Great City, Great country., 🙏🤞✌️Here's to a great future... 🗽
710 Ashbury Street?
The back n forth between Brent and Jerry is infectious! Can't help but smile!! Love it!!!!
Lovin' these Dead reactions!!!
I was at this show and it's the show I compare all others to. When they played this song the place was going crazy, all 80 thousand of us dancin' and groovin' to the beat. Jerry and Brent taking turns with the lead. Phil thumping. It was unbelievable. Totally a spiritual time. The crowd was one.
Classic Jerry/ Brent feeding off each other! You’re turning into quite the Dead Head Brother!
Would have loved to take the trip with you at a show!
16 years old....1st show ever....remember it like it just happened. Sublime.
Super performance of this song, with great back and forth between Jerry and Brent. But throughout that jam, don't forget to listen to Phil's very crisp and propelling bass line!
I agree with others below. It's about time to take on Help --> Slip --> Franklin's. That's gotta be next!
You should have worn some Bobby style jorts for this reaction. 😆
Jamal, I've seen you go from Mungo Jerry, to Stevie Ray, to Grateful Dead and I couldn't be any more proud. Thank you for keeping great music alive. You are appreciated sir!!
The best days of my lives.
Big time Deadhead - almost 100 shows. I've been waiting for Jamel to do this one, one of my favorite Dead tunes. To me it is an affirmation between the Dead & the Deadheads that our love for one another will never fade away! If it is the last song at a show you will hear the audience clapping and chanting "You know our love won't fade away" on the way out of the arena.
For those who don't know the Dead did tons of covers, however they were always done in the Dead style. As the saying goes "They aren't the best at what they do, they are the only ones who do what they do".
Thank You Jamel (saw my first Dead show in 74) and so glad you’re back!
Saw my first Dead show in '68 at the Fillmore West. Cost me $3.50. Those were the days.
I was able see the Grateful Dead in New Orleans in 1988. Being there was like a religious experience. When they did " Knocking on Heaven's Door", The Bangles and Neville Brothers came on stage and sang together. It was Nirvana.
US Blues is a fun fun song. Cant say their funnest but one of for sure.
On a good night, the energy coming off the stage was palpable. It swirled through you and reflected right back to the band. We all felt it. There was no experience like it. And now I'm weeping.
Love your enthusiasm!! I'm gonna have to pick up one of those sick hoodies.
Appreciate You🙏🏾
Thanks for doing my suggestion man! I’m a big deadhead and that Jerry and Brent back and forth is my all time favorite dead moment, I’m glad you agreed that it’s awesome!
Are they musicians at work
Or friends on a trip thru life's strange journey enjoying every minute of it
I love what Phil is playing during the jam.
You're starting to travel that long strange trip known as The Grateful Dead, enjoy!
Ive been waiting for you Jamel.. knew you would finally see the light..the world of the grateful dead is much more most underrated. Grateful
you should check out the live version of "deal" from orchard park! it's a banger
Deal from Downhill From Here is the best
Nothing beats coming home from work....and Jamel has a new Dead reaction! Sooo good!
"He's Gone" Foxboro Stadium...same year. 1989
And, "Stella Blue" 5/13/1977
Good version, cover of a Buddy Holly song (~1957) they did for many years.
BTW Since you enjoyed Jerry playing with Traffic, you might enjoy some stuff from when
Bob Dylan went on tour with the Dead in 9187, The Dead played their 2 sets then they were the
backup band for Bob D in the third set. Dylan considered Jerry one of the best interpreter of his songs.
Here is a set from that tour I can recommend the especially "Joey" from this performance.

Undoubtedly the greatest concerts and times of my life. What a blast the dead shows were blessed to have experienced. Our love will not fadeaway!
Jerry Garcia sang the National anthem at a Giants game. Do a reaction to it.
Best anthem ever done, those harmonies are incredible!
Loved when Jerry and Brent were so in sync that they played off each other.
They always jammed out hard, no matter the circumstances
I would love to see you react to this keyboardist, Brent Mydlnad’s soulful singing on Blow Away Live Philadelphia 7/7/89. One of his many shining moments in the band. I feel like his passing was one of the final nails in the Greatful Dead’s coffin. Just weren’t the same without him.
Sometimes the crowd would go on with the claps and the chant until they would return for the encore.
You really need to do “He’s Gone” for tomorrow.
Sometimes the Band was packed and gone and we'd just keep chanting, "No, our love will not fade away"!
Or something about the shitty oncoming clown...maybe Desolation Row
@@justing42 you mean the one that starts “They’re selling postcards to Pences hanging”?
@@larryholcomb2165 we flew out to Colorado from NY for what unfortunately turned out to be Ratdog's last two shows. The last night at the Ogden Theater in Denver, 7/12/14 they did this, walked off stage for the encore "break" and the audience was still chanting "you know our love will not fade away" so Jay Lane came back and just drummed to the audience and went back into another few minutes of the song, before Bob and the rest of the band came back out and pick it back up for about 2 minutes before the actual encore. It was very cool to experience.
Jamel.... These Grateful Dead videos are straight up MOVING! What a joy to watch someone become a Deadhead like this in real time. It's like the feeling of being at the show and being brought to (happy) tears. Amazing. I'm not even exaggerating when I say you could do a channel strictly Deadicated to Grateful Dead Reactions and you would NEVER run out of material, nor would you be blocked. And I would watch every single one, along with every other head out there. Thank you very much for these gems. This stuff spreads good energy
