this was my 23rd Birthday.. and My Husband proposed to me during the song,- "Truckin'.." I told Him to ask Me again 'tomorrow' when We weren't smoking a buttload of hash... ( He did..) We Married in 1985- and He passed away from cancer in 2012... I still miss that big, tall, man- at least We enjoyed the ride!
great story...
@@f.r.210 all lives have their ups and downs... But ours really was pretty sweet! And, Oh My Lord - was it chock full of amazing hills and bumps ...All good stories indeed!
Very sad romantic story but the ending is serene.
I bet you have plenty of wonderful memories!💜🦋
These 80s tapes are what hooked me on the dead in a way. Love the energy. Walking on a hot summer day with this in your headphones? Come on!
SAME HERE!
I was around the Dead all my life since the 60s, but never got into them until the late 80s, a great period for them.
I was at this concert... drove from Ft. Myers to Manor.. made it in 18hrs... best show ever!!
I'm in Ft Myers
I drove from Houston to Red Rocks for the September 7 and 8 shows then drove back to Austin for this show. Was my first time attending shows outside of Houston or Austin.
@shaved69fish I NJ
I was there also, remeber the balloon?
hehehe... I dragged my sister down to this show..... she had so much fun... she damned near divorced her husband,,,,, I was had been been touring since 78 ,,,, she never understood the Dead until this show
Great show thanks!!
The 'Jear Bear' and his 'Tiger', shadow boxing the Apocalypse and wandering the land. Thank you for leaving such beauty as it stands the testament of time.
1983 had some great moments for sure !!!!!!!!
Voodoonola---Your efforts are appreciated each and every view. Day in and day out. Many blessings to you!
Ditto!!(~);}~🌹✌🎊💖
Anyone who was there must remember the Spade shaped tent that covered the entire stage. Don't ever recall seeing anything quite like it. This was for us a special night. Got pulled over by Texas State Police on the way. We were scared to death packing doses and other choice items. Luckily we were spared .
Man Sept of 83! This Gem right here is a great find! Its Sept 2020 we need Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead nowadays! Peace to everyone! ✌😎
these maynor downs shows are fantastic. what a magical time this must've been.
One of my favorites from back in the day. I think I wore out this tape and had to recopy it. Thank you for posting this!
This tour had great moments, in fact was fun fun fun from mid summer on. to me the sapnish jam herre and week before at park west are OUTSTANDING old fashion good ole days. Before the scene was run over with untour heads running amuck Alot of travel and alot of fun all in one great summer run from Greeks to Watsonville. And everywhere inbetween
Never wanted to b part of that tour crowd. Pretentious hippies. Talks a bath!
Excellent
Best Scarlet ever, not a note out of place and the Jerrys vibrato at the end of the second lead is off the hook, unique & exquisite. JD remembers "the wind in willows played tea for two, the sun was yellow and the sky was blue!"
Perry Ruthven This one is good but..... the year before ' s Scarlet was better..... JERRY'S 40TH B-DAY SET AFTER MIDNIGHT 7/31/1982
Manor Downs Austin,Tx.
This is s damn good one for sure
I tend to agree.
I was at this show. First time I heard Throwin' Stones - which I loved!!! Great show.
I was on the ’83 summer tour from the Frost thru Red Rocks, master’s from each show and got Santa Fe and Watsonville when the fall tour started in Richmond, but I have never heard this Austin show, thanks so much for posting, wish we had video of more early 80’s shows.
Fun stuff, I had a crunchy board of this show when I was a just a fledgling head. Nice to see it 25 years later. Thanks V.
Listened on the TV GT from
Essen Germany March 1981 just before my daughter was
born and got some connection
beteween this event and GT.
Now I am back and listen
to all live GT concerts .
Their music is unique
and wonderful. Sorry they
were not so popular over
here in Europe and still rather
unknown but for music nerds
as me.

I drove from Southeast Florida to attend this last show of the summer tour. Met some heads and drove northeast in preparation of the fall tour just a month away. So many grand memories.
Love, Love, Love!!!! Thanks sister voodoonola!
I just love the 80's Dead!! Thank ya, thank ya , thank ya
amazing trip Scarlet Begonias & Fire The Mountain jamming!
Wow, i've never expected so much from any little red rooster -- what amazing output!
Love the sound!!!
Thanks for posting! First wife & I made this show as well as the first Manor Downs show 4th of July, 1981 (I think). Deep and widespread ozone for both those shows. And hey, 1983 wasn't as fuzzy as this vintage vid...nice
I saw them in 8283 and 85 Manor Downs Austin Texas and they were outstanding
So IN LOVE!!!
I was at the mud hole at Merriwether Post to Chicgo's Poplar Creek.
Met Phil at the hotel a friend of mine was at in Chicago.
It was surreal as heck, because it was about an hour after the show, and he came to a party at my bud's suite.
We to the Gathering in U.P. Michigan, and kept the vibe in my heart.
Never went on tour again, but was able to see them in Atlanta when they came south!
Hot that gathering in U.P. Michigan. My last one.
Jerry is so geeked out at this show, at least that's the way it seems. Still Awesome!
garcia looks epic sounds kool too. vood you are the best made my day . again love respect. please come to red rocks this fall 2013. i would love to meet you. great post epic
Jerry: Deep into the junk, but we all still loved him forgooten lyrics and all!
It's ALWAYS been about Jerry and his guitar, and he shines here.
That's obviously how many people feel. To me GD was a true band where the sum total was bigger than any of the parts....
Hands down the chillest Esau i ever heard.
Fall 1983 out West. A very hot tour.
More juicy stuff from Voodoonola!!
Wow. Flawless Jerry powerhouse.
I love the 80's shows...the rockin' Dead!
But the other thing is, Garcia was never going to be an old guy with arthritis who couldn't play hardly, and maybe do a show every 5 yrs...he had to ride it hard until it blew, he lived the way he wanted . In the 30 yrs he was with the dead they gave us a thousand years worth of music
Have you've seen Keith Richards lately? His finger tips are deformed from arthritis and he's still kicking out the riffs. Jerry didn't have to die in detox. There's plenty of alternatives than dying in a non-medical detox for opiate addicts. I believe, he felt this was necessary to keep his new wife. Love kills yet everyone's dying to get some.
Jerry seems to look different in each year of the 80s but his playing stays outstanding, the style just changes here and there.
jerry's beard is at epic status
I'm in Austin, I remember when this show took place. The line of cars stretched down 290 all the way back to Austin. Went to horse races there one time. Sorry I didn't go. Saw ZZTOP's Eliminator tour about a month before this show. RIP Jerry
We filled a dually with a tarp, and then with cold water, and we 'swam' out 290 to Manor, splish splashing thru traffic. It was a total gas.
i was at this show. thumbed from dallas to austin. did some blaze, had the worst toothache ever, was treated by a kind lady with some anbesol, (sorry kiddo, my tooth hurt worse than yours! jk) rode back on a schoolbus with a bunch of real deadheads, bought three handmade shirts from them for 25 bucks, and had the time of my young life (20 yo) dont remember a bit, except jerry didnt seem to feel real well. thankyou for refreshing my memory, voodoonola. it was a great show, and im happy to relive it,
Heroin. Goddam that stuff.
Liked meth much better, had to quit or die, etc, you know what I mean. We responded to the Dead same way!
I am glad that Jerry was playing well. I am finishing the Lil Red Rooster right now and the jam was great! It broke my heart when I saw what Jerry's heroin addiction did in the end. I don't know how into that shit he was at this date, but it is really great to see that he was banging them out that a champ (the songs). Heroin and anything else just destroyed him in the end. Heroin or anything else will destroy anyone (some faster than others mind you.) Be good to yourself and give a hug.
Can you think of anyone in music more genuinely loved than Jerry? No, me neither.
I wish Bobby would continued playing Esau, what a killer tune. Not sure but I think it was last played in 90-89? U can hear they're still trying to nail it down in these early yrs but by the time 87 rolls in, IT GROOVES... I know Bobby is playing it again & when he tried it out w. the Nationals, Sweetness! If I was Bob, I would ask those kats to back him up for a tour. Listen to The Other One from those TRI sessions. It Smokes.
I'm sure some of these songs are hard emotionally for Bobby to do. They probably remind him of his loss and how close they were. I mean, can you imagine playing rythmn guitar for Jerry? That within itself is an intimate relationship.
Halloween '83 and following April Fool at Marin Civic Vets. LONG TIME Stephen
My parents took me to so many GD concerts at Manor Downs. I remember being bored. and then having my hair burned by the fireworks debris at the top of the show.Also, they parachuted into the show. For real, they all parachuted into the show.
I was there as well. Turk Pipkin was juggling glow sticks on stage and they pushed a dummy out of the plane. Turk was shouting " open your chute man! OPEN YOUR CHUTE!!!"...THUMP right in the ground! That's when the band came in stage! What an opener!
The Worse his health,addiction,demon's... The worse his voice cracked and strained.... But God Damn it his guitar playin sounded Sick!!!
Wow Made Weir's slide sound soo much worse 14:20
+Will Molina bob weir was never good at the slide, nor did he ever get better imo lol
+ismokeweed420 yeah, i remember the first outing he tried to rig up that slide...A for effort. D for execution...and it never did really get better. oh well, they can't revoke your soul for tryin...
Bob forgot a few words of the music never stopped but the music did not stop
hey voodoonola great show can't wait to hear brother esau also do you have on video 9 11 1983 new mexico the dead encyclopedia says it is one of the best heard versions of wang dang doodle heard it on youtube the song from then but would like to see the whole show thanks again keep the shows coming'
He was pretty deeeeeep into chasing that dragon at this point in time if my memory serves me right
Surprisingly, Jerry was actually battling his worst years with addiction in '83-'85. His playing doesn't show it at all (the Dead performed some of the best Brent-era music during this time), but just Google pics of Jerry from '83 and '84. He gains like 150 lbs in a matter of months and his hair and beard grow wild. Rock Skully wrote in his memoir that he was buying Garcia new sizes of shoes and clothes monthly. His voice is holding in '83, but it is blown by winter tour the following year. :-(
Those years killed his body beyond recovery. Aged him twenty years
I just lost my shit to this!!!💜💜💜💜💜
"Dough knees, dough knees". (The unsteady feeling you be get if you try to stand & dance to the first set closer after sitting down for most of set one, dosed to the gills.
wow...
I am still laughing at the review in the Dead Compendium on this lil' outing! Look it up! LOL!
Excellent show.
This is a tough era for me listening (i generally don't listen to much post spring 90, some early 90's JGB (i think that was a much 'easier' gig for him) and a few 'pretty good GD in 94 i made it too (boston in october "heal my soul" was maybe better than anything in 94-95.. anyway re; addiction and H and...well I can't speak for no one but me..
His guitar playing here is as good as any era. His voice leaves something wanting.. as a 20 yr opiate addict it's pretty easy for me to recognize the nasally restrained affect h has on the voice..
Phil was right.. post coma the guitar playing..uh...changed. though still he blew away the notion of excellence.. (some 90's JGB shows.. wow) . but the spontaneity was gone. i dont think he was ever able to play like he could pre 85, dont get me wrong, still the best to ever touch 6 strings, but pre it was so effortless, such flow, up the fret all the way back down raining lightning rousing thunder that tiger in the sky clawing meticulously thru the clouds.
to all a kind night and a kind night to all... a whole lot of love for my brother and sisters for whom that little bit of medicine, the bear hug we'd been so needing turned poison as the bear squeezes even tighter i love you all.
okay2122007 well put.
Still the greatest.
okay2122007 / only time I ever saw JG, Boston 94...I was in junior high!! glad I could sneak one under my belt, though...be well
This was well before the coma. I saw this show and the 85 show at Manor Downs. His voice was MUCH better in 83, but it seemed to me that his guitar was even more impressive in 85...kinda like he knew he was losing his vocal chops. I feel blessed that I was able to see them at this time...and the t shirt from the 83 show -- with the yellow rose -- drew comments for 2 decades after the show!!
Listen to the China/ Rider from 3-15-90 and get back to me on that one!
fuckin love 83
stella 85 manor downs .......seek it
I started at the Hult and finished in 2020 (so far). Anyways this one was so out of the way after driving 3 million miles through the mountains of the west. I had this dude pick me up in downtown Denver somewhere after finding Western Union. Way deep going nowhere when this car pulls up and asks us if we needed a ride. When we need one but we wasn't looking to leave yet ,we just finished the rock shows and were putting are selves back together. So this car is from Tennessee and he's headed no place in particular. But he did say he thinks that Billings was a good idea. Were headed to Santa Fe though. So we get in this little bucket and start looking for the interstate south Denver. He said that he would give us a ride out of town. So here we go into the mountains along the Colorado river. Fucking Beautiful. So fine anywho A day later and were in NM. Onto the show we say and he's like what show and he is like the dead what's the dead. Ok let's go to the Downs and get back to are family. After washing some clothes a good friend at the laundry mat says to me hay Ralph I just washed a page of paper in the machine. You want them and I'm like sure what can they do to me and my friend. We will get fresh paper at the show. And since are new driver named Bruce is still right here with us I offer some of the bunk doses to him. The next three days went like this. Me and Turk are melted into the grass burm In the parking lot of the Downs of Santa Fe very inoperable for awhile and Bruce is somewhere close by. I think it's a good idea to keep him around since all are belongings are in the car. All the Masters of the tour, clothes, backpacks, money, things from the great northwest. We can't come down so we hurry into the show only to get split up from each other and really melt into the landscape. I'm taping and the boys are watching me be so messed up that they stop the show cause me . I make it rain and take a for I think it was just a week or two. I see Bruce running around trying to figure out who's chasing him or he's chasing. Turk is taking a break with the band so everything's good . Second set comes to a good idea to get back to playing with are minds again and boy here we go again. Towards the end of this week the opening in the sky parted and I jumped out onto the ground in front of the stage with my microphones ,deck , and some paper in my pocket. Like 90 hits minus three. I'm looking at the boy's and they are all looking at me like I don't have any idea what I was doing but I have a lot more going on here then I'll share with them for now so I did my best to keep it together. At this point I have two girls who want me to be part of a sex act and I don't have to do anything but keep breathing .I'm in it for the gold. So here I'm going to get my pipes made into a deepthroats hardware and into a way to make sure everything goes numb and happy for everyone. (Part one)
MONSTER SCARLET
Oh the days of Maxell UDXL tapping. We drove from Captiva Island Fl to Austin Texas for this show. Manor Downs was a huge cow pasture and as we were herded in like cattle frying balls everyone was moo.. ing. moo moo moo. Agreed. Jerry may not look good but he sure sounds fantastic. As he always does.
Paul Hitchon it was a horse race track
jerry looks fine to me but then i dont expect people to look like sears catalog models but thats just me,
Manor is pasture and farmland to this day. Hard to believe they played there of all places
@@PeterFriedland they played there cuz some old dead family ppl had their offices there.Why? They had gone on to manage Stevie Ray and were in Tejas.now uk
Wow, embarrassed to say this was my first live dead show.Tripped on paper pretty hard, seemed like a really short show Many people still dancing in the lot as they were not "done " yet.Texas was very hard on pot, can't imagine other stuff in Texas. God I love the Dead!!!!
Sorry to hear that
I was there
They played those songs live for quite a while before they hit vinyl, kinda perfecting them...
LSD WILL SAVE THE WORLD
Yes.
would love to see the Boise show posted.
It was more likely cigarettes than heroine that led to Garcia dying. It was a heart attack from 2 of 3 arteries to the heart. Hardened arteries
Yeah because heroin is good for you, or something like that. It was heroin and cocaine use that killed Garcia, he would still be alive today. His performances in the early 80's were musically spectacular but his demeanor was stiff and almost trance like. Not the merry Garcia from the 60' and 70's and even early 90's where his performances were playful and endearing to his fans. No, my friend, heroin killed Garcia and to think otherwise is just plain naive.
I was there. They had to stop the show because the musicians' fingers were getting cold. In Texas of all places.
Hey Now!
yay chaz !
I just started watching, but this seems pretty amazing. Was someone able to do a portable video recording in 1983 or is this somehow from the venue/band? In either event, we're very lucky to have this. thanks so much for posting.
Tear it up Jerry
Deadlists puts Music and Might as Well ending set 1, which makes a lot more sense.
moist
Set 2 begins at 1:05:23 in case you're interested :)
Elfie dontcha come. Around here anymor
I'm wondering if there was an edit just before 'don't ease me in'. I remember a good portion of the crowd joining in singing happy birthday to Jerry, loud enough, I thought, to have come through the mikes.
You might be thinking ‘82 when they played 7/31 the day before birthday
wow... how fucked up is Jerry? I've never heard him forget the words the Bertha, one of their most played songs, and seen hundreds of shows. He is SMACKED out of his mind. Still, I LOVE '83 Dead. Thanks!!!!!
seek out 10-10-82 from Stanford.
bouncy up beat Bertha.......... Jerry!
I loved it when Jerry got all long bearded on us! Definitely on the JUNK, though...fat man AND Brent...Too bad about that whole thing...They would have still been making great music...
Two mile long beer bars up either side....and 2000 porta potties
My buddy and I went to gathering, Phil went somewhere else,
Playin wasted in the band!!!!!
Is it me or should this be 93, not 83? I don't recall stuff like Throwing Stones and My Brother Esau going that far back...
No this is right- they were just introducing the tunes in 83- heard them several times on those tours.
Ever listen to Dead Set?? If not, do.
Wow, thx. Lookin fwd to hear 10-9-82 too. Others can check these out at archive dot org
Sorry 2 of 3 arteries were blocked almost completely
fuck me, that was good.
Special show for Stackabones, they used our first recording for warm up music before the show. Burned on Love, Texas Town and Like Everybody. Put us on the map! Needless to say ............great night and all that followed..............
opening line, "I had a run in". Ouch. I cringe but I love the early 80s. reckless abandon.
its you
Disregard. Wrong show, was thinking of 7-31, the year before?
Mr. completely,..................where do I start? :-) STFU
Man, Jerry did NOT look good in 83
+Scott LaBonte Actualy Jerry looked very good up until 1979.
The fat man rocks !
he looks better than you linberg. you look like a gay barber from france
