"For the first time in more than 19 years, the Grateful Dead performed this terrific Death Don't Have No Mercy featuring a cool vocal arrangement, and one of Jerry's finest later-era guitar solos. It would only stick around for three more performances before being shelved for good, but it was an incredible run while it lasted." - David Lemieux
The slim chance you read this Dave.. Your work on Long Strange Trip was unbelievable.. your choices for that documentary are spot on. I truly hope there's a continuation of some sort. I always encourage new Heads to deep dive into that film and it's soundtrack. You my sir are a f'en legend.. THANK YOU.
Everything I have is because of the Grateful Dead! My property in Mendocino co. My wife of 25 years My friends My work for 33 years of my 64 years here. I’m so truly Fkn blessed to have been on this Bus ride of a lifetime. To say I’m grateful is such an understatement. 🌈🎶❤️🌹☮️
I was there. I just heard this song on a TV show I was watching and I knew I heard the Grateful Dead do it so I looked it up on TH-cam only to find it's from a show that I was at. Woo hoo!
I was at this show in '89. Kinda lackluster IMO, but this bustout was the top shelf suprise of my 350 or so shows! My jaw dropped when Jer slayed the solo, even suprising himself, by the look on his face! A 10 year hilite for me! Awesome! Thanks Jerry! TheIrieCraig
This was one of those moments that made all the struggles of touring worth it. My girlfriend and I just wept. So many tears, smiles and hugs. At Bill's Barn no less. There will never be another more balanced band. Not afraid of the shadow soul alongside the light. And then Hampton :)
Hey all, First of all RE: Brent... I have a recording I found years ago off of some bit torrent site of Brent solo at the Greek (I think part of a benefit) about 1988, 1989? I have it somewhere on a thumb drive but Wavy Gravy introduced Brent and it's burned in my brain that he said regarding Brent's voice that when Brent sings it's like "Mercury Breath", and just talks about the beauty that comes from his vocal chords. ...in only the way Wavy Gravy can. Those Brent vocals in this performance knock me out! A+++ and send chills down my spine. ....and as for that entire performance, is it the greatest musical performance of any song in the history of the planet? Well yes! It is! 😁😁. Weir was all over the vocals too, and I'm pretty sure I saw flames coming out of Jerry's guitar on that solo!
That solo would have been so much less without such instantly supportive and sympathetic backing from the band. A rigid arrangement could not have done it. Awesome all round!
Weir is a genius… his accents provide support and counterpoint at the same time. Jerry and the rest were all top musicians when the jug band/Warlocks started out, and Weir somehow invented his own unique rhythm style to keep up - that’s when they elevated beyond what everyone else was doing. Jerry summed it perfectly in an interview you can hear in the Weir documentary “The Other One”. Of course Weir openly describes how he was inspired by jazz pianists, and thank God for that. Good Ole Grateful Dead!!
I wonder how many other souls have transcended this plane of existence at Shoreline. Been walking with the Dead like 30 years but had never heard this. Random Google suggestion. Jerry went full Wolf Fuzz and gave zero f's ! Brent didn't have long left and neither did Jerry. Powerful performances
Is this track on a studio album? I've only heard their vault cuts on TH-cam. My neighbor who was a tapehead told me the whole thing about The Dead was that they were so good live.
A recent "Greatest Guitar Players" article omitted Jerry Garcia. And also left out Roy Buchanan and basically tried to omit great guitar players in favor of the ones they liked. Let's try to be more objective, folks. This is Jerry playing with all his power and emotion, and he can hardly be equaled.
It's OK, we know he's the greatest. It still baffles me that there are people that consider this type of music to be "noise". It honestly makes me feel bad for them. Imagine not being able to be taken on a journey by someone playing with raw emotion and intuition. Or the people that say you gotta be high on something to get it. What a sad life that must be.
Yep! All true! Witnessed this unreal breakout with many other transfixed freaks- just imagine being stuck in line for some nasty food and missing this???
i knew jerry would butcher it... and he did... its a pale shadow of Rev. Gary Davis's classic jam... “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

Hmm I would like to hear more. Seriously though, and I absolutely respect any opinion you may have. I was just curious as to why you think this? If you do respond I would like a serious answer as to what it is about this that you feel is so disrespectful? If your post was a joke then let me know and that's totally cool too. ...but if it was not and you were serious then why? Is it the musical arrangement? Vocals? What bugs you so much about it? Secondly, if you dislike this version so much I'm curious as to whose version you DO like?

@@saharamarocain7834 looked some way like Jerry didn't he on his way out
Only 4 times - I’m forever grateful I got to see one of those performances, grateful for every moment I was there indeed. Good Ole Grateful Dead!!

Awesome!
Much love to you brother from Comptche!
@@brianwalkosz9567 back at ya from toasty, dusty Willits.
I was at this one. We were all blown away when they broke this out. So grateful to have been able to see they boys from '87 to '95.
I was very close on the floor, the crowd went bananas.
Haha my husband and I were up on the lawn. Unforgettable.
I was all around shaggy
I was there. I just heard this song on a TV show I was watching and I knew I heard the Grateful Dead do it so I looked it up on TH-cam only to find it's from a show that I was at. Woo hoo!
I bet,I just was!

I was there for this. We lost our minds. It was transcendent.
Love the song. I read it at my father's funeral. This was back in 2006. Love you Dad.
That may have been the finest guitar solo I ever witnessed from Garcia live.
Bobby sings this with so much passion that I’ve ever seen ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹🥀🥲💙🩵👽🪐🛸🚀☄️⚡️💥😵💫🤩🥰😢😥so sad !
The greatest solo in Jerry's career. Right up there in Hendrix territory
This was one of those moments that made all the struggles of touring worth it. My girlfriend and I just wept. So many tears, smiles and hugs. At Bill's Barn no less. There will never be another more balanced band. Not afraid of the shadow soul alongside the light. And then Hampton :)
WOW!! Thank you for this. i need to watch another ten times at least.

Goosebumps….Brent was so fantastic

Missing this talent, as a complete icon
*This* is the Grateful Dead in all their technicolor-digital beauty!
A haunting call back to the Live/Dead version that so many of us know every note of. Beautiful stuff.
'89 Jerry was just slaying nightly.
My first dead show. I remember the crowd going wild with this- didn’t appreciate the significance of what I’d witnessed until later in life.
One if the best songs I’ve heard the Dead play 👏👏👏👏👏
Jerry+Wolf=❤
Missed the break out here in shoreline but got both the Hampton & Philly versions up close & personal. Powerful later day Dead!!
This tune brings me to tears. Thank you. I truly needed this deep down in the pit of my forsaken soul
This was my 1st Shoreline show! What an experience that was!
Love watching this after listening to 100 times definitely jerrys best performance in his later years in my opinion
I so needed this tonight. Thank you so much.
We all do my friend. We all do.. 😢 ❤

Been a dead head since i can remember however, this was the day i was born. Pretty cool, jealous of the folk who saw them in their entirety
Thank you!!!!!
I was fortunate to have attended this one! Great show with lots of technical difficulties
As Jerry sang, "come to the shore, come to Jesus" and as we that have- have no fear of the grim reaper...🕎☦️🕎
Holy shit😢
Jerry s solo is epic 🚀🚀
Just an absolute shredding by Jerry. Love it. Miss you Jerry.
I love this version!
I am so glad I had the honor of watching them live.
Thank you ,may I have some more sir ? 🙏
I love Brent’s shirt sleeves three garters on his arms to play so well so not to get in the way !
Excellent
A gem was there an accounted for... It was a great show
Anyone going to mention that Jerry was playing the Wolf? Talk about inspiration ⚡️ 🐺
I came to the comments to do just that! How cool is that? 😁😁😁
Hell ya!😎👍
Played Wolf a ton in 89. Doesn’t make it less cool, just thought I’d share!
Damn, this is intense
Thank you so much for sharing!
The solo
Just unbelievable
My 1st show!
✨⚡💀⚡✨
I only got one of these at the warlock shows 89
Yep, remember the equipment breakdown in set 2 and this post space
Hell yeah Jerome! ...what a solo! :D
This is great. .. Thanks 🤠
hell yes
Jerry Forever
I wonder how many other souls have transcended this plane of existence at Shoreline. Been walking with the Dead like 30 years but had never heard this. Random Google suggestion. Jerry went full Wolf Fuzz and gave zero f's ! Brent didn't have long left and neither did Jerry. Powerful performances
Wow!!
🤯 by Jerry's solo
Jerry smiling at Brent ❤😂
Ow, you'd almost make me proud! Cept you have no mercy.
⚡️⚡️Jerry and Brent knew this tune too well🦋🕊️💫🌹💫
This is the version on The So Many Roads box set
Wow 😞
Kiss of death is the mercy
I love this song dearly but so sad for Jerry to have lost so many so soon but me also have !
Boss !
Epic!
I miss the reverend. Rev. Gary Davis. He wrote this one. Probably showed Jorma how to get it right . Maybe Jerry too.😮
The WOLF!!
❤
💚✌😊🎸🎼🔊
🙏🤘💪
So much distortion in Jerry's amp on this one. It adds so much tension to the song. It's perfect.
Never mind this listen 2 walk me out in the morning dew😅
How come the Indianapolis raceway bumper sticker is covered up on Brent’s keyboard ? Anyone ?
Wolf ❤
That Jerry solo didn't have no mercy either
howlin' Wolf..
Disculpen mi falta de conocimiento pero alguien me dice el genero de la canción?
Sí: es que “La Muerte no tiene piedad“ y que viene durante el medio de la noche y que se lleva nuestros quieridos.
Camera man sucks missed the cuts and que again, know your subject, Love this version 🙂👍
It bugs me he misses the part where Brent sings “WA HOO!” After his verse
Anybody know why he only played DDHNM on that guitar?
Is this track on a studio album? I've only heard their vault cuts on TH-cam. My neighbor who was a tapehead told me the whole thing about The Dead was that they were so good live.
It’s on the live/dead album
I was just wondering if it was their song. They do a lot of covers. I've been listening to a lot of full concerts on TH-cam.
@@mikeneidlinger8857 Reverend Gary Davis wrote it. A lot of people have covered it.
Thanks bro.
Check out the so many roads set. This exact live version is on it. Dick Latvala was the man
LFG
Something that isn’t taken from a show already posted on the channel would be cool.

Bobby Weir is probably THE luckiest man in rock & roll history to have been taken along on the GD ride with Jerry Phil & Billy.
Where's Jerry's regular guitar? Oddd to see him playing something different
I could have gone to this, but didn't. One of many huge mistakes I've made.
Brent Mydland ⚡️ ⚡️
Brutal
I believe Jerry is 46 at this show
He had just turned 47 in August .
Yep! All true! Witnessed this unreal breakout with many other transfixed freaks- just imagine being stuck in line for some nasty food and missing this???
Does anyone know why Jerry is playing the sweet curly maple guitar, rather than the Tiger? In for repairs? Powerful stuff for sure!
Tiger was getting some work done to it iirc.
The guitar Jerry was playing is called “Wolf”… this is one he played before “Tiger” and “Bertha” were even made.
j was there fitstshow the dead allowed me to give miracle tickets
I forgot how good Jerry Garcia was
Jim reaper knock upon your door
Mydland steals the show.
Still not a incredible as the Hampton version...
I was at the Shoreline for this and it was great...
I was at both. It’s a tough decision.
cookies and milk
i knew jerry would butcher it... and he did... its a pale shadow of Rev. Gary Davis's classic jam...

You sound fun
i didn't realize that both singers sucked so bad in this band
The dead don't have no grammer skills either.
Disrespectful to ruin such an incredible song as this. Just awful
