Indeed. One in ten thousand that come for the show. I perceive it as something that's part of my spiritual or musical DNA.

I think that it’s amazing that Jerry’s been gone for 25 years... and yet somehow , his essence still is alive , and always will be . You said it man .. “Love” that’s what it’s all about .. that’s what the Grateful Dead is . The expression of the human existence through music .. brothers and sisters .. music with no net .. alive , searching , lost , and found . I think Jerry would be very happy to see what you’re doing . You can tell when it’s from the heart ..

Jerry and the boys built something. Like the pyramids. It's astonishing to see the pyramids or hear the Dead.

Garcia was/is/will forever be the most honest musician I've ever had the pleasure to see. It was never about how many notes he could cram into a measure of music. It was always about that moment in time. The emotion of that last second. He knew there was as much emotion in the quietness as there was in the aggression. And when he was REALLY ON, the transition between it all was blended effortlessly.

'Scarlet>Fire' & 'Morning Dew' in that set can stand against any live performance ever & hold their head up high... there's real true magic in the air.

It takes my emotions to the lowest of lows and brings me back up to a new all time high every time I hear this. This is sadness and happiness in one package. It is perfect and will live forever.

My 1st show was 1988 at Madison Square Garden...I was 8. My dad was a taper. We sat right behind front of house. After that night I was hooked to say the least. My dad took me to see them 40 times after that before we lost Jerry. I knew from that moment on I wanted to be a sound guy. And that's exactly what I do now. This band changed my life in so many ways. Thank you for this video. Brought me right back to being at the show listening to what they do best.

My daughter is an accomplished musician and she said what Michael said: “You can’t write that..” My daughter was blown away by 5-8-‘77’s Dew and this is a 25 year old who’s been listening to the GD her entire life. Yet this time we just listened to it in the car. Loud. For the first time she really heard/listened intently to what the Boys were capable of doing and she loved it!

Many songs have appeared in my life as "song I'd like to hear last", but none have made that list more than this one. Thanks for reminding those of us who know this song well, what it looks like to hear it again for the first time. You're awesome, Michael-- and we appreciate you bringing your musical talents to the "internet community". Blessings brother.

The Grateful Dead brought us all together, The last year has been a blast!

Loved the cradled guitar swaying throughout Jerry's solo, really warmed my soul to witness. You get it man. Thank you for the content Mike.

My favorite Dead song bar none. IMHO we owe the power of Cornell to Phil but the layering and weaving that the whole band did that day was beyond epic. It was really cool to see you react to this version of the song. This version has the power to take you to a very special place that I think everyone needs to get lost in so they can come out the other side a truly changed traveler. I wish you all the best in the new year and thank you for the amazing videos. Be well.

I'm not a musician, heck, I'm lucky that I can play the radio, but I can certainly tell that you went on one hell of a bus ride with this gem. Being an old Head, I saw you taken away. From bobbing your head to the rhythm, to that expression that Jerry was taking it a bit far right before he pulled it back in, to bopping to the beat, to the surprise with the "vibrato" of the band, to the wonderment of exactly where they were going when the music seems to fade to the background, to the 1,000 yard stare when you realized where you have been, to the excitement when the band was bringing it back up from the precipice of death, to the wide eyed acknowledgement when you realized where you were going, to the anticipation of getting there, that my friend is the essence of the Good Ole Grateful Dead. Congrats dude

THANK YOU for playing the song through. Im 51 and I discovered the Dead in 1984 when I was 15. We are grateful that we found you. You are a young man with a son and I can understand the emotion listening to Jerry sing and play this masterpiece. I wish you could have experienced Jerry in person. It was magical.

Yeah man, your discovery of the dead is what made me discover you. The dead was/is such a huge part of my life that I had lost touch with for a few years. Thanks for bringing me back. I am enjoying all your videos and being one of your guitar students, but most of all knowing that we are connected by a deeper understanding. Hope to meet you someday.

This is it.....The Dew Of Dews. They are so tight. The way they build this up. Keith is amazing. What a Band.

HE FINALLY DID IT!! :D

Epic example of the band slowly stepping up the intensity ladder from sweet and subtle to a ferocious catharsis. I used to see this sort of thing just rolling off the stage in thick waves over our heads. The band was just saying, "Oh, ya like that? Well here's comes some more times 2, times 10, times 50." They pushed the music to places most musicians can't even begin to contemplate. And we were grateful for every moment of it.

"When it comes together -- you could never write that, plan that." And that is the essence of Dead, Dead on a great night that didn't happen every night, but when it did, and it did often enough--then you're hooked.

In all the best performances I've heard of this tune through the years, there's a feeling that it's constantly a millisecond away from disintegrating completely. Like the couple in the landscape of the lyrics, the band barely clings to a remnant of normalcy. A walk, or a tune, performed in the midst of and in spite of the End. This take is like a dream - thanks for checking it out.

You in this video perfectly encapsulates how I feel every time I hear this beautiful masterpiece. The full portion of this set is St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>St. Stephen>Morning Dew, and the whole thing is an absolute monster. The St. Stephen>Morning Dew is so natural and perfect that every time I hear St. Stephen I now expect it to go into Morning Dew. My favorite thing about Morning Dew, and this one in particular, is just what you said: how every instrument is just as important as the other and they all take turns sharing the spotlight

I was lucky enough in 92 and 93 me and 2 other friends did Dead tour both years in the summer.I would finish my last exams in college then roll out.Saw alot of the U.S and met a bunch of cool people.Some of my greatest memories and ive always love playing Jerry songs.His solos remind me of raindrops hitting a tin roof.

I must say that September 3, 1988 at Capital Centre is my favorite Dew performance. Phil's bass was turned to 11 and he drops massive bombs during the crescendo.

Cornell Morning Dew is the superior version in my book. The tightness in which they are playing, the guitar work from both Bobby and Jerry, and Jerry's voice is so beautiful and soulful when he sings this song. You simply can't beat this version. Cornell 77 and Veneta 72 are in the list of the greatest shows they ever played. So many of the song performances have been stapled as definitive versions. And for very good reason. The band was just ON for these shows. Another great run of shows is late October 74 when they played (it was either 4 or 5 nights, can't remember right now) Winterland in San Francisco. These were the last shows they played before taking their almost full year break and worked on Blues for Allah. But those Winterland 74 shows are just phenomenal to me. Some of the best Dead I've ever heard from their entire 30 year run.

An electrified beautiful young girl climbs up out of the pit and promptly sits in front of Jerry as he goes into an elongated lead break - or so it seemed. It felt like an eternity but they let her stay a few seconds before gently carrying her off.

This song is absolute fire.

Happy Holidays, man. Love you. This stuff from Cornell '77 is the best. I've never heard a band play that well together. It's magic. On to 2021!

A silver lining to this crazy year... and a legacy of the message in the song that takes on extra weight during times of great sorrow and foreboding... Thanks for sharing your reactions with us this year !

I grew up in Eugene, Oregon during the late sixties through the early eighties. Ken Kesey certainly played a role in my, "formative" years. Jerry played my high school. Ken brought the boys to an epic 3 night stand being the first "rock" show in the building. Ken warned us to behave so we could get them back for more shows. So many years later, I'm still running through those shows. Oh man...

OMG Thank you Michael this was my first time hearing it too, like you, the dead found me only a couple of years ago and I’m so happy I did and your thoughts and explanations helped me see

I appreciate Michael's Dead journey. I only really "got" the dead when I listened to them on 4 grams of mushrooms in 2020 at the age of 50. I had always liked fast and aggressive music with no fat. The Dead, to me, was all fat. The Dead just took so long on the intro and so long to finish the damn song that I never could understand the appeal. Psilocybin gives astonishing attention span and boom, I got it. Now I listen to the Dead (99.9 percent of the time w/ no plant medicine) and I still get it. Better late than never.

This is my present. Thank you. How about them drummers 🤙 had the cassettes in 88 onward and still get goosebumps at various moments. It is a time capsule and thank God it is a Betty Board.

You explained it perfectly at the end. There really are no words for it and how it makes you feel. You can analyze it and look at it from a theoretical standpoint but nothing can explain the magic of the moment. All the different personalities and styles meshed together with the energy in the room from the crowd and the snowstorm outside in the middle of springtime forming a beautiful concoction of emotion pouring out of those amps and off the drum heads. It will raise the hairs on your arms and bring tears to your eyes. Thank God for the soundboards that captured this show. Truly grateful.

Thank you michael! Awesome the greatest dew ever! Peace and happiness in the new year!

Merry Christmas to you! And THAT is why we still listen after 50+ years! You have your forever music, sir! Enjoy it!

Love those explosive Dead endings!!! back in tha'day, the concert hall would be erupting so fantastically and magnificently as they would brilliantly throw those song finale's our way.. I'm hard-pressed to come up with another band capable of those layers of buildings&textures and crescendo's!!!!just awesome and btw, you did a very classy presentation, great job!!! It really does make me feel happy younger generations are reaching out & giving the Dead a chance to be as special to them as they have been to folks like me!!! Cheers

Happy holidays to you and yours, Michael. Thanks for making 2020 a bit brighter.

You just got a new subscriber. And I went to my first show as a freshman at Cornell in 81. Not as well known as 77 but rightly acknowledged as another smokin Barton Hall performance. Anyway it put me on the bus, second show later that summer in Denver and there was no looking back. I'm still on tour with the new incarnations and still miss Captain Trips at every show I attend.
