My uncle Bob was the biggest deadhead ever. Anytime the dead played golden gate park, our whole family went to the show. Watching this feels like it was just a couple of years ago... WE MISS YOU JERRY!
The ultimate song of perseverance. The harder life gets I am always reminded of this song. Thank you mr. Garcia, I have carried your inspiration with me since 1975
Welcome to the party, brother. I didn't see them live that many times, but I got an early start - saw them play for free in Golden Gate Park around 1967. "Magic" is the right word. Jerry was (is) a supernatural force. Enjoy.
I had the great fortune to go to grad school in Berkeley 1969-1972, then found and lived at the Fillmore West 3 nights a week. There, I found the Dead and a philosophy for life that stayed with me for the next 52 years. NOW I'M A TOUCH OF GREY... HI LIAM!
This was awesome. This was a Bill Graham tribute concert. He died a few days previous to this concert date. 'Touch of Grey' was an encore to this tribute concert.
Jerry Garcia mostrava não estar nada bem no seu semblante nesse show, penso eu que possivelmente isso devia ser consequência da ausência do Bill entre eles.
These folks started a movement that is truly magical still today in 2023. I continue to listen to bands clearly influenced by The Grateful Dead. What a wonderful gift these performances are. They are timeless and will never get old for me. Thanks so much!
Last time I saw Jerry was in the late 80s. He wasn't playing with the grateful Dead. It was him and David Grisman. I just remember that large smile he was so friendly we shook hands and he asked me how I'd been. He was just so happy I really believe Jerry love to be traveling around and playing and singing music that was his life I was so saddened by the news of his passing
This was a memorial concert for Bill Graham who along with his girlfriend, was killed in a Helicopter crash. At the time I lived about a mile from Golden Gate Park, so of course I went. The estimated crowd size was about 300,000 or so, but everyone was really chill. Some cop told me that there were only about 5 arrests.... And MUNI had free busses to the park... Yeah, it was an incredible experience.... Never forget it... ❤❤❤
This was such an awesome day and tribute to Bill Graham. I'll never forget the Otis Spunkmeyer prop plane flying overhead and dropping carnations on the huge crowd. Couldn't tell for awhile what was about to rain down on us and the guy next to me was convinced they were tabs of acid. LOL I miss all these free shows that used to happen at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park. Crowds of 100,000 were common
Oh, boy -- this is so beautiful in so many ways. Who would ever even think to write a song like this, both in the music and the lyrics? Just the Dead, and yes, you had to be there.
Oh my god, Jerry's facial expression at 6:07 ,priceless. Had to be "the kid" on that funky note. Oh my gosh, love it. Beautiful show. Absolutely priceless.
Motivational song and one of many memories. My ex and I were at the Anaheim Stadium concert-event, on my Birthday 7/26/87. It was a hi flying day. Largest Love In. Was flying at super speed for 4 days. Feeling groovy. (Then came the crash) A year later, I was in my first drug rehab. I had oded. Amazing how things changed in a year. Tomorrow will be kicking back an treating it like any other day. Will probably go to my mom's and I favorite restaurant down the street. Also was the last time we had together. Back to work. Somehow, I will survive! We will survive!
Every person is unique and can never be replaced. John Mayer is doing a great job, he's a better singer, and probably a better player. But for most people, there's no one like the original.
@@tmmoringAs a guitar player who has seen them both live several times and who knows the Dead's music like the back of my hand, I can say that it's not unreasonable to say that John Mayer is a better guitarist than Jerry Garcia. I wouldn't necessarily say that myself, but it's not crazy.
i'm from san francisco and went to this show in GG park..... for Bill Grahms memorial after his helicopter crashed on the way home from him greeting the musicians at a Concord Pavilion show.....just 40 miles away from his Marin County home...... what i noticed here was this show was VERY local free show in the park...... the stage, PA and workers all came for free and did this..... no big corporate touring companies, just local artist from the GD family and scene...... ( also, take note, someone forgot to bring Jerry's effects..... he is using the TWIN/MAC rig clean, no effects :)
There is something about that part when you see the white woman and black women dancing together that gets to me. Its like in that moment there was no race, no differences, it was just all love and enjoying the music.
This was the Bill Graham memorial. I was at this show, Dead closed with a complete set, but Neil Young played Forever Young with them (not a good match imo) and Fogerty played a few songs with them (good match). Lots of interesting things that day. A fun time.
god damn this just made me sad jerry never got to play a closing OSL set as the legacy act. Wish dude was still here, dead and co is great but I can tell it doesn’t hold a candle to seeing the real thing. Wish I’d been born a decade or two earlier and had been able to experience jerry live ❤thankfully the archives are here for me to binge tho
When I retired from my corporate job a year and a half ago, I stopped shaving and cutting my hair. Now I look sort of like I did 50 years ago, except for a "touch of gray" (well, more than a touch - it's all gray, but I will survive)
Love this inspiring song!
My uncle Bob was the biggest deadhead ever. Anytime the dead played golden gate park, our whole family went to the show. Watching this feels like it was just a couple of years ago... WE MISS YOU JERRY!
Well sung, I'm 75 and a latecomer to GD RIP Jerry
I see your picture there Fred, Jai Jagannath! HARE KRSNA!! 😸🧡☀️ long live Jerry!! 🎸 🎶
I was there!! The ultimate song of Hope! Thank you Jerry...
The ultimate song of perseverance. The harder life gets I am always reminded of this song. Thank you mr. Garcia, I have carried your inspiration with me since 1975
Keep on carring
In 2022, We need this message more than anything. Two and half decades since he left us, Jerry still lives on.....
No fucking joke buddy 😎✌️
I'll never forget the day Jerry passed. Now going into 2023 is going to be an interesting ride...
long live Jerry🚩🚩🚩
Jerry's Music will make Him immortal .
touch of grey; ?
nothing went wrong,
just keep livin’❤
2023 and this song comforts and gives me strength after a 30 year of marriage divorce life goes on and I will survive
Yeah! It is now 13 April 2024. It will be a good day, my friend!
All those beautiful souls dancing with joy, peace, friendship .... how I miss those days.
It exists
I am so glad I discovered The Dead, there is magic in their music.
I've been on the Bus since the early 80's!

Not really this is there only good song.
@@riding4beers889 I very much diasgree
The music never stopped.

I was there some of my best memories are free concerts in the park.
We need this now, 11/11/24. It's madness out there
A Colombian head enjoying every note from the Dead , long live their vibe
Cool to see John Popper back there chillin.
Glad I wasn't the only one to see that!
You could tell by their setup that they are playing for the love of the music, everything is calm, cool and natural
I was at this one- Bill Graham's Dead concert in the park. My one and only opportunity to see an actual free Dead show- loved it.
Me 2🙋♂️👍😎

Soooo. Cool! 🎶
Bill Graham - great baptist preacher
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I worked for Bill. Ate dinner with him once. Worked with the boyz. Good times. Helicopters are dangerous.

I listen to this song on my morning run.
Whenever I found myself at a Dead show I always felt as if I was at the center of the universe. Nowhere else I'd rather be!

A great band indeed I’m sorry mr Garcia you are not here with us may you Rest In Peace ✌️ and thank you 🙏 sir for the great music 🎼

Took liquid El 10/27/1991 Oakland, Aiko/Mona Gary Duncan and Carlos Santana. Do remember the GG shows. Neil Young Pearl jam 🍄🌁🍄🌊🪘💦🌛⚡🌜🍄
Yes. Present. What a special time we experienced. Amazing
It’s such a pleasure to see the boys in their element!

I called in sick at The Good Guys in Berkeley and went to this concert with about 20 joints. They all got smoked.
Oh my god, Jerry's facial expression at 6:07 ,priceless. Had to be "the kid" on that funky note. Oh my gosh, love it. Beautiful show. Absolutely priceless.
I noticed too, like wtf was that 🤣

Hey all us old Deadheads-- I’m in my 70’ and will need a Dead retirement community. Anybody else?
I’m in my 40s guess we are building it. 😂🎉
This is a video of peace, love, working through grief and hardship
John Popper from Blues Traveller behind the band at the 1:26 mark. wearing his trademark vest and hat.
This song was good to listen to during the pandemic
plandemic
Huge part of American culture. My favorite Dead song. Garcia could never be replaced.
Every person is unique and can never be replaced. John Mayer is doing a great job, he's a better singer, and probably a better player. But for most people, there's no one like the original.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH not even a dead fan,,,but everyone knows when jerry passed so did the band...
@@tmmoring John is one of the best players ever, its not a crazy thing to say. I prefer Jerrys voice tho, i agree with you on that.

R. I. P. Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead what a long strange trip its been
What song is that line from? Thanks!

@@davidfreeman7455 Thanks David! Cool! 🌹🎶
Would Love a Dose!
.I was at this show...awesome👌👍
I was there, it was a magical day.
I saw them July 18th 1989 at Alpine Valley WI! There is a lot of footage from that show here on YT!! What an experience!!
Still gives me goosebumps
I wish I was at that little corner of the world at that time
Brent died in 90......missed him. Sounded hollow without him.
Who else loves the instrumental part from :03sec-:44sec ? Instantly puts me in a good mood. Thank you Jerry, Bob, Phil, and the crew.
I I always get a hearty and satisfying chuckle at how all the San Fran hippies really came from high and low to the park for this gig
My boss is a 65 year old dead head and got me into them. This is my favorite jam by them. If only I knew about them when I smoked pot! Hahaha
Never to late to start smoking and continuing listening to the Dead
@@K1EDH Love that soooo much .
This helps keep Jerry and the Dead still with us.
So many songs but always loved this one
Jerry rocks on forever👍🏾

I miss the 90s so bad!
Me too
I was in California in 85. Saw the Airplane, but not The Dead unfortunately.....
Never gets old...
Jerry was wonderful! Peace
Those were good times. We drove all the way!
Little did I know the impact this song would have. Rip Jerry, Brian
awesome
RIP Jerry! You were a great guitar player.
More than just a guitar player!!
THE GREATEST PSHYCADELIC ARTISTS PERFORMERS YOU CAN FIND ♞🔊🕪
RIP Phil Lesh, bass guitar 🎸. 23 October 2024.
Out of all the amazing songs that are in the GD"s catalog you picked this freakin song.....
This is their only good song
49 years old.
This is the theme song of 2024 ✊
hell yes
LONG LIVE THE DEAD . I WILL BE FINE .
god damn this just made me sad jerry never got to play a closing OSL set as the legacy act.

it's not near the same thing.
1 of the best lyrics and appropriate. I see you you got your fist out, say your peace and get out! Sorry that you feel that way. 😎
🗽
I will get by. I will survive
I WILL, Get BY, I will survive!!!
When I retired from my corporate job a year and a half ago, I stopped shaving and cutting my hair. Now I look sort of like I did 50 years ago, except for a "touch of gray" (well, more than a touch - it's all gray, but I will survive)
perhaps the dead at their best..who knows
I miss Brent so much 😢 😭 😫!!
Just love
Bravo!!!
Bravo indeed!⚡️🔥🌟💥🌟🔥⚡️
RIP JERRY 1995
Forever
😊🏴☠️
1:23 is that John Popper behind Jerry?
Awesome ✌💞😁
When Jesus was alive
R.I.P. Mr.Jerry Garcia
Randomly seeing John Popper, funny
OMG this was a sad reunion concert… the atmosphere was heavy and so the playing. RIP Bill Graham and Giovanni Falcone. Best super heroes of the XX th
Realmente é perceptível certa tristeza no semblante do Jerry.
Crazy not even 5 years later, he died at a young age but looked easily 20 years older because of his lifestyle.
To be fair he had just turned 49 here and looked 69. But thats all right.
These hippies now runs Silicon Valley.
I remember spring tour 91 Philly Spectrum
RIP Phil….Anyone know who the pictures are up front?
You bad we all had to grow up.
