Agreed. I was a fortunate hippie❤ to have seen The Dead numerous times, a 6 hour dance party led by Jerry Garcia

That "as tears goes by" is a rare, sweet treat. Thanks for posting.

This happened one month before we made plans to go to my first Dead shows in Atlanta, in the spring of '94. It changed my life- for the better- in so many ways. From then until the end of May '95, we traveled the country and saw shows in Tampa, NYC, Seattle, and Portland- and 9 weeks later, Jerry passed. I can't begin to express how grateful I am for that opportunity, and that experience! I smile, and I weep- to ponder my great fortune!

Probably the best live show that I have ever seen was when I got to see Jerry Garcia, n David Grisman at the Warfield back in 92 on my Birthday. I was standing right at the rope line in front of the stage a mere 7 feet from Jerry... After that amazing acoustic show I went home and put my electric guitar away for 18 years... bought every acoustic album Jerry had recorded. Got deep into bluegrass through Old and in the Way. Learned to play Mandolin and Banjo. Will love his acoustic music most till I die! 😊

Went to my first Grateful Dead show with my Brother on his birthday, at Alpine Valley in 1987.Was instantly hooked on their live shows. Many times I saw them right up to and including Jerry's final Dead concert. I too loved the Acoustic shows. I perform almost all of their songs with acoustic guitar, and especially love performing for nursing home audiences and hospice patients. If you don't have it yet, I recommend that you pick up the DVD called Grateful Dawg. There are some precious Jerry / Grisman moments on that program. Have yourself a Grateful day...

Jim Smith, I missed the 87 Alpine Show. First time I even heard anything about the Grateful Dead was when JGB played at Caesar’s Casino here in my hometown of South Lake Tahoe. I didn’t get into the show, but could hear it spilling out onto the casino floor... I was having fun being a country boy people watching all of the heads in their tie-dies walk-in around. Many of them with little in winter clothing on, many of them bare foot. It was January I think. Cold as a mother too! 🤔 88 maybe? That was back when Nevada still had very strict Cannabis, and drug laws. Didn’t go over to well with law enforcement at all. 😕 I have seen Grateful Dawg quite a few times. ‘Sitting Here in Limbo’. Haha.

I met and sold David a few vintage instruments during this time period. Great Guy. David & Jerry just blended like the Best Wine on every collaboration. Thanks🇺🇸

"The As Tears Go By" was really nice, and I had never heard that before by Garcia and Grisman.

I'm so glad to have seen him and, been alive on this planet while Jerry was.

Jerry Garcia had. magic. His voice and his playing were a great gift. .. Peace be on you.

This song was Jerry's till the end. It says a lot about touring and how trivial money can end up being when its just a means to an end. Among many other truths thanks to Robert Hunter's art that enriched our lives. These stories still burn bright. Rest in peace, brothers.

David Grisman is a very interesting musician and mandolinist who befriended Bill Monroe (the Father of Bluegrass), played with Stéphane Grappelli (a founder of the Quintette du Hot Club de France with guitarist Django Reinhardt in 1934), as well as his long friendship with Jerry Garcia.
