1987 JFK was my first show and made me a head forever. I made '89 at JFK and a 2 Spectrum shows before Jerry passed. I've since seen 20 shows with the variations of The Dead, Further, Phil & Friends, Weir, etc... Dead & Co as well. IMO, you can't compare the 80's era to 1973-1977. That was the peak of the Dead.

How blessed we’ve all been to have experienced these beautiful, joyful shows! For me it was 9/78, Giants Stadium. They opened with St. Stephen/Jack Straw. There was no turning back. I was blessed, anointed, indoctrinated, whatever it is. My boyfriend took me to that show. I married that guy. We’ve been going to shows since then. Looking forward to whatever comes next for us all.

I work in a job where we are drowned in negativity and have a psycho neighbour who constantly melts down..listening to the dead gives much needed peace

Man perfection!!!!!!! It is a special place the bus takes you. The sun is gonna shine in my back door someday! Jerry and Bob are the best combo ever and Brent wow play that thang man!!!!!!

These guys made beautiful music together The goat of music .I was lucky enough to see the Dead live twice in 1978 Boston garden,and Hartford, Conn.Awsome, tripping balls!!!! Those were the days!!!

This concert took place roughly one month before I was born... it took me about 20 years to come across Hunter S. Thompson whom introduced me (indirectly, that is) (haha) to the Grateful Dead. I was reading some of his work and was mentioning this band quite a bit and with a great affection. Luckily, I was curious enough then, to look up what the mysterious GD was. Who were they? What do they sound like? Bang! And today, in this day and age, I am sitting here with my sleeveless old rugged GD T shirt listening to this concert. If I ask anyone in my age if they know GD, all I get is blank stares. But hey! Who cares? :)

I was six when this concert happened, jumped on the bus at 41. Glad to be here!

I got into the dead when I was 21, but I remembered recently that I had clicked on this video many years ago when I was maybe not even a teen yet. The pic of Jerry in the thumbnail reminded me of my grandpa and I was so curious about the man that one day I finally clicked. Watched probably the first couple numbers on my PS Vita and totally forgot about it for years- but the dead have been after me since day one I guess so it was only matter of time til I was shown the light

And we love you too. The Grateful Dead broke down barriers that would typically keep us from loving strangers. In fact, the GD taught us without actually saying the words, there are no strangers.

Just fyi, Billy is by far the better drummer of the two- Mickey might reach for and invent crazy sounds but there is No Way he could have ever played like Billy did in 73.. ever. Listen to the Dead without Mickey snd you’ll understand that Billy was as good as any jazz drummer ever was.. Two drummers is powerful but limiting also. They were never better than they were without Mickey. 🤷🏻Not a Mickey hater, at all. I believe he would be the first to admit it. He understands , i’m sure, what a great drummer is, and that he’s been very fortunate to play w somebody of Billy’s caliber. That’s my truth, you can take it or leave it..
