To see Jerry's face appear on the screen and Trixie crying as she watched her Dad sing was overwhelming as well as Phil being honored by having his son Graham on stage performing. I feel both Jerry and Phil were respectfully honored.♥️
Tears when I saw Jerry. Tears when I saw Phil with his son performing. Outstanding and just reinforces how much the Grateful Dead mean to me. Still listen every day since 1967. Proud old man Deadhead.
My father passed away two months ago, and he was a Deadhead. He would have been so happy to see the band at the Kennedy Center Honors. My dad loved music, and we heard many different music genres, especially the Grateful Dead when I was growing up. Dad even took up bass guitar lessons. I heard Grateful Dead sometimes in the background, but I've started getting into it since Dad passed. I know I'll think of him whenever I listen to the Grateful Dead. Music is one of the many ways I keep my dad in my heart. ❤I miss you, Dad. I bet he's having a jam session with Jerry Garcia, Ron McKernan, and Phil Lesh in heaven.
Glad Billy was sitting next to Trixie when Jerry's face and voice popped up. Then seeing Grahame playing and singing in front of his Dad's pic...will be honest, took me out and this is one of my favorite songs period, Not just Dead song, any song, and this as just become a very well regarded version. BTW, I'm an old biker, takes a lot to get me that emotional...
Feel very fortunate to have witnessed this performance of Jerry singing "Ripple" back on Halloween Night 1980. He was in Radio City Music Hall in New York, and about 1500 other fans and I were in The Orpheum Theater in Boston, watching a live Closed Circuit broadcast, with a concert quality sound system, and a big screen. It was my second Grateful Dead experience, had about 50 more before Mr. Jerome John Garcia passed. All were really great. RIP Phil Lesh and Brent Mydland, and thanks for letting Graham Lesh fill in. I saw Graham when he was a baby, on the side of the stage, back in the day. Sturgill Simpson does a nice job here.
I saw the same show at the tower theater in philadelphia. my first show. I was living in an ashram and snuck out with a couple friends to experience "the world".
Tears immediately. I was not ready for Jerry to start us off. I was Born on 8/1/98. Every birthday was never my birthday, but Jerry's. I'm super Blessed to have shared it with him. Sturgill is my favorite Artist at the moment this is one of the best videos ever! RIP PHIL AND JERRY THEY WOULD BE SO PROUD
Amazing!!! To hear Jerry's voice and then they take on the rest. I really got teary eyed here. Phil's son... geez. Most beautiful song I've heard in a long time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ We need more of this!!
Sturgill freaking crushing it! I mean does this get any better?!?!? Sturgill singing “Ripple”, with Jerry starting it off…. I don’t think so! Saw Sturgill a few weeks ago in DC. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to!
So beautiful to hear Jerry’s voice coming from stage again. He’ll never win any singing contests from a technical perspective but boy he had a way of getting right to the emotion of a song.
What an amazing performance! So deeply touching. She is an extraordinary interpret, but song writer as well. I can’t wait for the release of her new album (early?) next year!
💖Love this from Grace so sublime I’ve got it on loop because it’s so mesmerising even intoxicating so soul searching 🎤🎵🎶💖❤️💖the raw emotion from Grace is so strong you feel every word 💖❤️💖
Got a little emotional when I heard Jerry. I have no memory of hearing the dead for the first time (and not for the reason one might think). I was raised by a deadhead, my first time hearing the dead was definitely while in utero 22 years ago, and my mom has brought me along on the long strange trip ever since
I’m not crying 😭, to see Trixie and Jerry singing, oh my Grateful Dead 💀 heart ❤️. They are my all time favorites and have been since I awash 12. Have seen them so many times, and JGB and Ratdog and Dead and Company. Love Ripple, American Beauty is golden.✨👏👌🎸🥰✨
Wonder if those speakers are just props. Or did they actually rebuild the Dead's monster sound system? It doesn't have the semicircular vocal section in the middle - but maybe that caused too many feedback problems, and only Owsley could make that work or would have taken the trouble to do so.
Ripple is a magical song that flows like water, with grounding words delicately and effortlessly gliding through the air. This Hee Haw Aguilera thing turns it into a rough ride down a dirt road headin to a fishin hole. I’m guessing the ripple here is from a bobber? Lolol
Joke of a ceremony. Love the Dead and even travelled all the way to Vegas for the Sphere run last summer. It took this broadcast for me to recognize they have completely sold out. I guess they deserve it in their old age, just sad to see. I’ll keep bumping the old days long after the boys and their values are gone. “Leave me alone to find my own way home”
I watched because I'm a deadhead, saw a lot of faces should be on a plane to Canada. For biden, they should of played He's Gone! As a MAGA voter I'm so Grateful Trump Won!
To see Jerry's face appear on the screen and Trixie crying as she watched her Dad sing was overwhelming as well as Phil being honored by having his son Graham on stage performing. I feel both Jerry and Phil were respectfully honored.♥️
And then to have Billy reach over and take her hand.
@@leobigelow7021this made me so happy but sad it was beautiful
i cried too
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful, momentous force in music, thank you!
need more of this.....
Tears when I saw Jerry. Tears when I saw Phil with his son performing. Outstanding and just reinforces how much the Grateful Dead mean to me. Still listen every day since 1967. Proud old man Deadhead.
Me too!!!
Absolutely. What a wonderful tribute to a band beyond description
Don Was deserves some love here; whenever something great is happening, he is on the stage.
He certainly is ubiquitous...the new Paul Schaffer...
Not to mention his countless recording credits as both performer and producer.
Yeah. Jerry singing. I cried. Unashamed. This was very well done.
Grahame Lesh singing in front of his dad’s image really got me.
Yes, so proud of him!!!! You could tell it got to him (rightfully so) I was so happy to see those men and sons up there. Very emotional honoree(s).
Phil would have loved this so much. I am crushed that he could not be there.
Love that they included clip of Jerry at the beginning, what a song, what a band. Glad to see the Dead get the Kennedy Center Honor
Wonder why Donna wasn’t invited
I cried, smiled, sang and danced. God bless The Grateful Dead
💀 🌹
Sturgill is the man and this is unreal, so well done
That made me cry. Couldn't hold it.
Cuz it’s over.
im sure alot of us did
Cried like a baby
Yes I cried. I am still a deadhead and to see Jerry singing was a moment of memories, nostalgia and brought hope to an old woman's heart.

💕 My father gave me my love for music too. He's no longer here but he lives forever in the music. Let there be songs to fill the air 🌹💕

I was at Radio City
I saw the same show at the tower theater in philadelphia. my first show. I was living in an ashram and snuck out with a couple friends to experience "the world".
Awesome seeing one of your favorite current musicians, and fellow Kentuckian, singing a tribute to your all-time favorite musician and band.
Crying right along with Trixie & the picture of Phil next to Graham.
I could watch this 100x over and never bet bored.
Wasnt expecting to see Jerry sing there…absolutely fantastic performance!
Let there be songs to fill the air…✌🏼❤️💃🏼
Damn chills just kept coming with this one.
Tears immediately. I was not ready for Jerry to start us off. I was Born on 8/1/98. Every birthday was never my birthday, but Jerry's. I'm super Blessed to have shared it with him.

Phil the air!
Thank you Robert Hunter ❤
Just another that can't help but shed a tear.

Sturgill freaking crushing it! I mean does this get any better?!?!? Sturgill singing “Ripple”, with Jerry starting it off…. I don’t think so! Saw Sturgill a few weeks ago in DC. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to!
He's so good live!! Saw him a while back on tour with Willie
I loved that Sturgill's first lyrics he sang were, "It's a hand me down.." A passing of the torch moment of two men that shaped my musical path.
Cannot watch this without tearing up...man, I miss Jerry.
I didn’t think I would get so emotional but I damn sure did!
So beautiful to hear Jerry’s voice coming from stage again. He’ll never win any singing contests from a technical perspective but boy he had a way of getting right to the emotion of a song.
When Jerry popped up and took the first verse i was in a puddle.
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful, momentous force of love and music, thank you!
Ladies, gorgeous tribute to one of our greatest musical legends.
What an amazing performance! So deeply touching. She is an extraordinary interpret, but song writer as well. I can’t wait for the release of her new album (early?) next year!
I like the way that part of the song came out of him at 2:42
Thank you C Hazard for all you have done for our community! May the music never stop
Ripple was played at my little brother's funeral so it ALWAYS makes me cry...😢
Played at my Dads funeral.
I'm ugly crying over here, with zero shame.
💖Love this from Grace so sublime I’ve got it on loop because it’s so mesmerising even intoxicating so soul searching 🎤🎵🎶💖❤️💖the raw emotion from Grace is so strong you feel every word 💖❤️💖
Sturgill FKN Simpson! Thanks Jerry and Robert!!!
“Jerry saved my Life” Sturgill Simpson recently stated.
And he took that as a sign. No one could have made it more beautiful than him. I think Jerry would be happy with that performance ❤
Bloody brilliant.
Jerry Blue Skies. Jerry Forever
This Is a dream come true.
If Jerry and Trey had a baby who could sing, it would be Rick from Goose. Glad to see him continue the legacy with the respect of all.
Got a little emotional when I heard Jerry. I have no memory of hearing the dead for the first time (and not for the reason one might think). I was raised by a deadhead, my first time hearing the dead was definitely while in utero 22 years ago, and my mom has brought me along on the long strange trip ever since
Beautiful
Thank you for posting these! My PVR cut off in the middle of this song.. It was like I had no oxygen.
This was so special. I cried the entire time. #NFA
I love this so much xx❤
This is so good. Just another example on how this music brings us all together.
I want, need, an album of Sturgill covering The Dead.
Gorgeous tribute, love Sturgill. I am not crying ❤
🌠GREAT SONG , GREAT TRIBUTE , YEAH A TEAR JERKER ..JERRY , PHIL & ALL THE KEYBOARD PLAYERS ...I AM SURE ..ARE GRATEFUL...
I’m not crying 😭, to see Trixie and Jerry singing, oh my Grateful Dead 💀 heart ❤️. They are my all time favorites and have been since I awash 12. Have seen them so many times, and JGB and Ratdog and Dead and Company. Love Ripple, American Beauty is golden.✨👏👌🎸🥰✨
I cried when I saw Jerry
WOW!❤❤❤❤
Miss you jerry…
The Beatles gave the world their magic from England, the USA did the same with the Grateful Dead. God Bless them!
What a performance!
WOWZA IS ALL I CAN SAY
Thank you.
That topped it for me!!! Amazing performance
Tears
Did not expect to start crying.
Looks str8 up like her dad…God bless the Grateful Dead 🌹🇺🇸🌹
Jeff Chimenti playing piano. 👍
Great talent on stage…Don Was 🖤
Who were the other musicians?
@@The93ssfdGrahame Lesh , Rick Mitarotonda from Goose, Jeff Chimenti on keys, Don Was on bass. Not sure who the drummers are.
AJ Lee's version done about age 15 is a fine version. It's on yt.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Sturgill sing Grateful Dead and pick up that torch. Dead Ahead!
Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of man.
My eyes are sweating
Well look at Rick from Goose up there. He has arrived!
Destined to be one of the great ones. GOOOOOOOOOSE 🪿
Goose sucks.
@@sabercastpodcastEric Krasno from New Canaan is much better though , do you even know who he is?
I’m not crying you’re crying
Sturgill is the best doing it, it's not close
Funny Miles Teller is there just as a random backup dancer.lol Should've worn a bear costume 😅
Who were the other musicians on stage?
Lost it when I seen Jerry. How Bob keeps it together I just don’t know.
Wonder if those speakers are just props. Or did they actually rebuild the Dead's monster sound system? It doesn't have the semicircular vocal section in the middle - but maybe that caused too many feedback problems, and only Owsley could make that work or would have taken the trouble to do so.
Just a prop
Not one mention of anyone who ever played the keys for the band 🤨
I wept like a small child....
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
No Pig Pen?
Poor Rick, all he wanted to do was bust a solo. Great performance though, given the venue.
Goose sucks
I got something misty in my eye…..
Ripple is a magical song that flows like water, with grounding words delicately and effortlessly gliding through the air. This Hee Haw Aguilera thing turns it into a rough ride down a dirt road headin to a fishin hole. I’m guessing the ripple here is from a bobber? Lolol
Did Troy decline an invite?
Glad they picked the dude from goose and not Trey
The fake deadheads on the side of the stage are RIDICULOUS!!
Think that was Miles, Goose's son from Top Gun.
Nice cover but disappointing leaving out a verse.
I'm not crying 😢 you're crying there's something in me eye. Lol😅
Ripple gets too much love; Brokedown Palace doesn't get enough.
🦾⭕️🩵📚 🌹
Too clean snd too careful but I’ll give it another listen down the line.
Joke of a ceremony.
Love the Dead and even travelled all the way to Vegas for the Sphere run last summer.
It took this broadcast for me to recognize they have completely sold out.
I guess they deserve it in their old age, just sad to see.
I’ll keep bumping the old days long after the boys and their values are gone.
“Leave me alone to find my own way home”
How is their being honored at the Kennedy Center them selling out? SMH.
Sturgill sounds better than Jerry.
Go take a nap 😂
Lol. That contrived country affectation destroyed the liquid flow of the melody.
I watched because I'm a deadhead, saw a lot of faces should be on a plane to Canada. For biden, they should of played He's Gone! As a MAGA voter I'm so Grateful Trump Won!
Yes MAGOTT
Great tune…the rainbow crap is nauseating
lmao what are you talking about
Your crap is nauseating.
My Christmas was realized, last night. ❤🤍💙⚡️
