I can't believe this is on here, I was on the lawn in my own universe, I thought I was at the ocean, then I was in the forest, everyone was a dancing tree, then birds started singing, and the trees were spinning and the ocean waves flowing, then the pirate ships started glowing, and Jerry started singing. I was back at Shoreline. What a short strange trip it was. Recommend this one in the right state of mind. This song right here, at this show, changed my life... A bus came by and I got on.
I was 21 at this show.Many time's especially being young it's hard to appreciate the moment.We live in the moment, that's it.These songs, videos give us those moments & memories back.Forever Grateful...
"From Jerry's 1972 debut solo album, Bird Song joined the Dead's repertoire in 1971, and after slipping out of the song list in September 1973, it rejoined in its acoustic arrangement in September 1980, and electrically a couple of months later. It would remain a large part of the Dead's first sets for the next 15 years, including this great rendition with Bruce Hornsby." -David Lemieux
I was here and have such nice memories. They were really in a professional moment during this period. Can't really describe what that means but something felt
I love Bruce and Vince and so glad to see this show for the first time since I was there all those years ago. Jerry was just beginning to get over Brent. Tis is definitely one of the best from this run. I remember LA BEING a sonic and social nightmare on that tour!
Jerry spent time scuba diving at Kona in Hawaii and spent money to help set up dive sites saw his picture in a dive shop there and asked the guy told me about him he was good to the dive people there
Best summer tour of my life if I wasn't sharing the cleanest, kindest liquid with my beautiful friends.dancing was a must for me and some times when I got exhausted I get up to the front and watch the band, I remmember being fascinated with Jerry and Bruce subtle looks Bruce seemed like an innocent school boy and Jerry sort of seemed protective of Bruce never saw jerry smile as much on stage as that summer. I never mentioned it lots of people didn't appreciate Bruce being on stage at all, but I saw the positive effects he had on the band especially Jerry, been searching these to see if it came through on film or if I was just tripping like my bro told me never mentioned it or thought about it all these years I can see it now and I don't think I'm trippin.
This is sweet sounding. I spaced that Brent wasn't playing and I love the post-coma Brent years as well as most other years so I guess that is pretty vague on my part. 😁😉
Uh...uh ...where am I? Is this the Village Vanguard? I hear Cecil Taylor in there somehow. Oh...now wait...this is...what? Free-form...jazz kind of shit...oh...wait...dang...I love this shit!!!
for those that were there, it is may in california , why are the members of the dead wearing sweaters? were they under the weather or it was unusually cool there at the time?
Always liked the “flute.” Didn’t some of the other sounds as much in ‘91. One of weir’s worst guitar sounds and the keyboard synth …hmmm … little of that goes a long way. And let’s be honest in hindsight the Hornsby thing was ridiculous- why do you have a guy of that caliber just sitting off behind a piano like Keith Godchaux? Missed opportunity there. Should have had a lead role - the new Brent. Apparently they just wouldn’t rehearse and he gave up on that idea. Annoying. What was the point then? Maybe just to keep Garcia out there earning all that money. That made me sad but it was fact - it was all about the money by then. For them. We all were grateful!
Hornsby wasn’t there to be a permanent member. He was already well known by himself, and didn’t need the Grateful Dead, he just saw it as a passion project because he liked them and it was a way of helping Vince ease in. You may think it was ridiculous but it wasn’t supposed to be Bruce Hornsby & His Grateful Dead, it was The Grateful Dead (and sometimes Bruce Hornsby). Led to some great Jams though, even if I agree with you on the toy keyboard sounds.

Been there, done that; just differently.
For those who've been there, we understand your experience perfectly. 😉
Beautiful man. Sounds like quite experience☺️
Thank you for the beautifully poetic post. You put a smile on my face as I listen to this indescribably amazing song.
Same

Great version. Another gem.
For some reason Jerry in a hoodie and Phil in turtleneck just hits different.
Love LOVE this song! AND BRUCE HORNSBY!!!!
Forget it. The best 👌

I will give you $10 to make these weekly again
Haha
Beautiful performance. Thank you, David.
Thank you, David, for this and all you do. You are appreciated more than words can tell. 😊
Indeed, thank you David.
Bruce Hornsby sure looks happy. Great version !
I mean, Vince is present too
my 1st show was at calexpo 6 days prior to this...i was blown away by the sound and the scene
I was here and have such nice memories. They were really in a professional moment during this period. Can't really describe what that means but something felt
Wow! 😊 They really took you places with that jam!
Stellar version! Wow!!!
it was a good show ..Hornsby adds a bit of sparkle

I saw then in Boise Idaho great 👍jobs
saw them at Kiesar in early 70's and at Winterland in mid 70's, watching this i can smell the patcholi!
Jerry spent time scuba diving at Kona in Hawaii and spent money to help set up dive sites saw his picture in a dive shop there and asked the guy told me about him he was good to the dive people there
This is one where Vince is playing REALLY WELL! I love ❤️ this one! Jerry in a hoodie. 💀
I saw them on this tour. Bruce filled in for Brent. He had just passed.
And thanks for sharing this vid
This seems too good to be real. Hornsby, Weir, Lesh, Garcia, etc...
Very nice 👍
if there is a better version of this song i just cannot imagine
From 2:15 to 2:30 is superb. Bruce Hornsby's short solo on the piano merges smoothly with Jerry Garcia's bending note on the E7 with standard tuning.
Love that song 🎵
Love that song 🎵❤️😀👌🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🔈🔈🔈😊❤️💚😀😁😄😀😃😄😁😆😊☺️😉😌🙂🌛🌜🎸🎹🎤
VINCEane in the membrane
vincane in the brain
😂
3:35 Love watching the man realize he's on camera and playing it cool until his son figures it out during Vince's very nice solo.
Jerry in a hoodie!

They were great with Hornsby! He brought out the best in Jerry!
if I could travel somewhere i would travel their
🎶⚡💀⚡🎶
I was there.
Not sure why they ever thought that particular keyboard setting sounded good, but hey, whatever.. 😕
Agree...it's a sound from the era, it just didn't age very well
for those that were there, it is may in california , why are the members of the dead wearing sweaters? were they under the weather or it was unusually cool there at the time?
Phil Lesh- Clothes Horse.
Phil's sweater more than makes up for Vince's synthesizer.
well put
jerry secure guitar strap
Oh man I wish they’d ditch the trippy overlay cartoon shenanigans and show the players in real time making magic
Imagine how much better this would sound if the outrageously bad synth was a Hammond

I have to, respectfully, disagree.

He was already well known by himself, and didn’t need the Grateful Dead, he just saw it as a passion project because he liked them and it was a way of helping Vince ease in.

@@mooglancashire424 that’s all fair - there were some great moments … I like those Aug 1991 shows for example. Great Bruce shows.
