I love all of the stuff that Brent wrote or had a hand in writing. His musical intelligence and integrity cannot be overstated! His contributions to the band were amazing really made a lot of the songs pop with the adding of his voice into the melody of Jerry and Bobby.
The thing I always loved about Brent was seeing how much he loved it. Understood the Magic of Music. Gone Way too soon RIP You were badass ☠️❤️☠️ 68 year old Deadhead here
Jerry's solo beginning at about 4:00 is off the chain...look at his body language and facial expression--he is giving it his all! When Jerry had a good time, everyone did!
Mm hmm...and I was expecting Jerry to say in Bobbys ear.."you don't L OOK like you're enjoying the ride!" (after Bobby sang that line for like 3 minutes ! ) :)
Thanks to the whole Dead team for these uploads, I know I’m definitely ENJOYING THE RIDE! Who’s with me? Jerry and the boys came out swinging with this one. 🌹
I caught up w/ the circus at Meadowlands. Epic roadtrip frm FLA. I find my buddy sleeping in the parking lot, Day 1. "Sammy!!!" "Uh, dude, I didn't get any tickets for you." Classic. Of course, the NEXT car that pulls in, the crew bails out, stretches and says "Any youse guys need a ticket?" Only at a Dead show. Smokin hot shows...second nite, 3 or 4 of the Nevilles sat in second set, it was like Mardi Gras. Ahhh, the memories.
I was at this show in the middle of the pit. Great opening song that set the mood for the rest of the show. Was hotter than hell that day and they sprayed firehoses into the crowd to help cool us off. God Bless the Grateful Dead.
Best Bucket I ever HEARD.Jerry is IN TOP FORM on this version,Simply Mind Blowing as one fan said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......................Chris K,Hartford,CT
Bobby nailing this one like the usual. id say the dead's heaviest tune, especially the Knickerbocker show and the studio version. heavy tune that any hard rock fan would love especially. awesome guitar and sound and awesome well written tune
Watching this and knowing that my dad was at this concert makes me so jealous... I wish I was born sooner to live through all of this great music and not the shit we have now
@@Foxylittlemermaidguy I saw them quite a few times from '87 thru Jerry's final show in '95. Quite the experience for sure. But you guys are still Dead Heads. It's all about the love of their music. Good to see younger generations who appreciate The Dead. Rock on...
My Dad missed the boat on the Dead, but am still jealous at many of the shows that he saw for example; Pink a Floyd twice on Dark Side and Wall tours, Eric Clapton with Santana opening and then them having like a half hour jamming encore at the end, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix . The list is literally way too long to mention it all. I have surpassed his quantity but that is really hard quality to beat though I have seen many great bands and had a great time doing it. Not to say that I don’t have my own great shows like Phish, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, John Mayall and Blues Breakers, Willie Nelson, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Primus and all types of Claypiol side projects, etc etc etc
@@Foxylittlemermaidguy sure you can. You're here appreciating what you didn't experience, you are officially a dead head. They don't judge or say someone is or isn't anything. It's one love
I was a 16 year old, green behind the ears burgeoning deadhead who had a group of ten 19 year olds as "chaperones" for the show. So grateful that I was there. There are so many highlights to speak of from this one. But what sticks out the most, and much of '89 can be characterized this way, was the passion, the fun, and the thunder-chops poring out of Tiger. Sure, many say the 70s was the decade that saw the best dead. And maybe this is so. But, for those of us who saw the Dead in the mid-late 80s, there was nothing... NOTHING... that touched it! And for the record, I have yet to hear a version of Loser from any decade better than the one at this show. I still get goosebumps even time I listen to it. I caught the next two night at Giants Stadium... Had I been a few years older I would have done the whole tour. Check out "Downhill from Here" from the Apline shows. Aside from Spring '90, I feel like this represents the best the dead had to offer during their third and final act. Thank you Jerry!
These were GOOD years for the band. Their playing was tight and powerful as hell! And, from all accounts, everyone in the band was in a stable and happy place for the most part. We WERE enjoying the ride!!!!
I was there with my brother Jay 7.7.89 at the old JFK. What a long strange road it’s been.....I saw Grateful Dead 33 times in concert. The most of any band ever. Keep on Trucking.....My favorite Dead song is Scarlet Begonias. ❤️🎧🎤🎼
This is like the 100th time Ive cranked this to the max and 20 minutes later I'm still laughing and giggling and my head feels like a Rubik's cube that's been all redone... A UFO flew by outside and I didn't even care. What the F have they got that could possibly beat this ?!? NOTHING !! That's what !!!!!!
OK...ok... I must select something to fill the Void left behind. I choose the Deal of Providence 4 4 85. It will work. Then I can kinda get back to Earthly existence again. Providence, indeed!
@@angiebransted4126 Love you!!!! I just cranked it up again... exactly the same effect. It's like zero time elapsed between then and now. Einstein was right.
I was lucky enough (and old enough) to have caught both '87 and '89 JFK shows. This was the last show ever at JFK before they tore it down. Amazing show. Jerry albaze ;)
they were just playing at such a high level at this point in time....we can debate whether the highs werent as high as some of the 70's stuff but as far as high energy, rocking shows on the regular...you cannot dispute the late 80's as having been an amazing time to have had. So lucky i got to see this era...how i wish that Brent had stuck around with his friends. He died the summer i went to college and the majority of my shows were after he left us. So glad for the shows i did see though.
Unbelievable!!! I only had one chance to see this legendary group and never took advantage of it. It was on this exact tour at 3 Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh and I was only 16. I regret it every day 😭
One of my favorite Dead songs from their later years. This and Picasso Moon are two of my favorites of all time. Jerry sounds awesome in this concert performance and I think that he actually sounds better live than in the studio. That’s just my own opinion but to my ears, his guitar sounds more eclectic 😮🎉❤
I had a friend in Big Sur who had reels of Dead concerts recorded by the band or their engineers that were crystal clear. He had at least 500 of their shows. This was around 1983.
i wish i would have had the opportunity to see them live!! im so very thankful to have been introduced to their music tho. i swear it is THE most relaxing thing in my life. it is the only thing that relaxes me, takes me to another time & place & i can be at peace
Jerry G on guitar will bring them in from near and far! I saw them at Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro Mass. on July 3rd a few days before this and the parking lot scene was epic and never the same in the years after.
This whole show they bring the goods. Mydland's Rap during Blow Away, is so soulfully said with that wonderful voice of his. Let it Grow is good and tight all way through. '89 is such a smoker beginning to end⚡🎶⚡✌😎
Shit...this just does justice on many levels! Hey, I'm enjoying the ride, after f'ing bullshit and yada yada! Now I'm a real woman. 49! Loving my new life with a great husband! I so think we all have that love!
🤣 fr. The aiko and rooster that follow really set up the smokin stuck inside of mobile. Def one of the best 1st sets. My girl and I listen to this show a lot 😍
One day at college I somehow became engaged in a discussion with a young man from Campus Crusade for Christ. I soon realized he was trying to evangelize so I let him do his thing. The subject turned to music and I mentioned the Grateful Dead. He said something to the effect of "your on the highway to hell". I almost lost my shit. I wanted to retort with a snide "At least I'm enjoying the ride", but he was so courageageously sharing the gospel that I withheld. I still laugh because I grew up in church and saw the guy coming from a mile away. Sometimes I just enjoy indulging an adamant religious zealot, if only for the interesting stories.
I remember this show. The last dead concert I ever went to. They were awsome that day. Brents "Blow Away" was off the charts. The shrooms were abundandt. But what I remember the most was how fucking hot it was that day. Even after the sun went down no relief. What a long strange trip.
No, it's not the best album. It's the best G£}{>!!€am time ever in history, from time of the Big Bang, forward. There'll never again be anything great as this, ever.
+MimmGigg "No dude"...really?? It's evident to even to the deaf or blind that Jerry was having a really good day here. I was giving a compliment.....there's nothing to debate or disagree about here...so bye!
Love how much fun Jerry is having. God bless him.
I love all of the stuff that Brent wrote or had a hand in writing. His musical intelligence and integrity cannot be overstated! His contributions to the band were amazing really made a lot of the songs pop with the adding of his voice into the melody of Jerry and Bobby.
Brent Bang Theory....BrentMydlians
The look & energy between Jerry & Brent was indescribable. You just had to experience it live!
Got that right. Brent was a heavyweight. He is sorely missed.
Brent put an edge into songs that went right into boggle.
The thing I always loved about Brent was seeing how much he loved it. Understood the Magic of Music.
Gone Way too soon
RIP
You were badass
☠️❤️☠️
68 year old Deadhead here
Jerry's solo beginning at about 4:00 is off the chain...look at his body language and facial expression--he is giving it his all! When Jerry had a good time, everyone did!
Someone get some water.. that poor Tiger is on 🔥
I was at this concert July 7, 1989 (the last concert at JFK) ever. My brother and I loved the Grateful Dead. I saw them 33 times in concert.
I was there, too!
😳holy smokes women!😆
Man, Brent ALWAYS brings it
I love Jerry giving Bobby the "well we're waiting" look at the beginning. Priceless
Mm hmm...and I was expecting Jerry to say in Bobbys ear.."you don't L OOK like you're enjoying the ride!" (after Bobby sang that line for like 3 minutes ! ) :)
Bahahahah
IKR, it's like your song man, LETS GOOOOOO

A confident, nearly flawless performance from EVERYBODY on this one!!!
I was at this show in the middle of the pit. Great opening song that set the mood for the rest of the show. Was hotter than hell that day and they sprayed firehoses into the crowd to help cool us off. God Bless the Grateful Dead.
Grateful for the firehoses
and God bless The Dead
the tunes of this year
still ring in the head
'89 Jerry was a happy Jerry and the band was absolutely on fire. Wish I had seen more of that tour.
Best Bucket I ever HEARD.Jerry is IN TOP FORM on this version,Simply Mind Blowing as one fan said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......................Chris K,Hartford,CT
seeing Jerry happy is one of the most beautiful sights)
if I am not mistaken this was the last concert at JFK stadium, and I am proud to say I was there for it.
Jerry hasn't stopped SMILING!!! I was there & it was extremely HIT!! I know we were ENJOYING THE RIDE!!!! #RedheadDEADhead #MrsWeirwannabe 🎸🎻🥁🎤🎼🎶🎵🎹
I was there at that show too. LOVE BOB WEIR!
gotta love Jerry's smile...and his guitar playing! And Bob in his shorts and clean shaven, singing the F out of this great song.
It was so friggin hot this day!! The show was awesome!!
Bobby nailing this one like the usual. id say the dead's heaviest tune, especially the Knickerbocker show and the studio version. heavy tune that any hard rock fan would love especially. awesome guitar and sound and awesome well written tune
Their heaviest tune is probably not fade away or viola lee blues in my opinion
Ummm...Jerry
@@DavidRivera-hf9ln The Other One?
the Hell in a Bucket from the 1985 Toronto SEVA broadcast absolutely rips
I think some of the old live versions of "The Other One" would qualify as heavy. Heavy and dark!
Watching this and knowing that my dad was at this concert makes me so jealous... I wish I was born sooner to live through all of this great music and not the shit we have now
Me 2 mate. We can't never be true Deadheads :-(

Rest in Peace, Brent Mydland.
Absotively, posilutely mind bending. And Jerry's lead work is the rockin'est rock that can rock.
Jerry sure looked like he was enjoying the ride!
OMG Dude Jerry was beaming LOL.
@@KingCast65 Still miss Jerry to this day....
These were GOOD years for the band. Their playing was tight and powerful as hell! And, from all accounts, everyone in the band was in a stable and happy place for the most part. We WERE enjoying the ride!!!!
trippin', dude. the word is "trippin'", for isn't he the Captain?
To hell…
Prayers for John Perry Barlow--the lyricist.
This song is about Bob Weir and Joni Mitchell's break up.
scott merrow LOL

And I built the Meyer Sound equipment for this concert. Failed the Ph.D. qualifying exam but it was well worth it.

Way before you. 70's and early 80's. Sad loss Jerry. Bob is still kicking though.
I was there.
This song just gets me in a good mood. Every f'n time. What else can you ask for?
the only think we could ask for, is the reincarnation of Jerry G
Thanks for bringing me back to this day, one more time
First time I ever heard this song!! Like it.
They had great experience and chemistry
The lick behind "...taste of your elegant pie..." is in my head half the day.
Idol_Stomper "Pie"? LOL
@@MarkFrisk it does kind of sound like pie hahaha…
they were just playing at such a high level at this point in time....we can debate whether the highs werent as high as some of the 70's stuff but as far as high energy, rocking shows on the regular...you cannot dispute the late 80's as having been an amazing time to have had.

Garcia's facial expressions are freakin' precious, huh ?
He's pretty high right here, hehe
Everything about Jerry was fucking precious !!
Looks exactly like my friend Jeff.
These dudes were perpetually laughing and
Most definitely amused.
Perfect, as perfect can be.
absofuckinlutely
Unbelievable!!! I only had one chance to see this legendary group and never took advantage of it. It was on this exact tour at 3 Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh and I was only 16. I regret it every day 😭
I liked when they played outdoors in daylight,,and this one really smokes it right off the charts
This is a great show. It has one of the all time best versions of Loser. Jerry is so into it. He is wielding one mean axe.
oh yeah! Jerry's guitar is on fire this day.
He has the 'pick of destiny!'
Man, it's good to see Jerry s smiling!
thank u. this is killer. I was blessed to see them twice that year. Cincinnati (my 2nd show) and deer creek. love this song
THE ANTHEM OF OUR ERA
Hell in a Golf Cart
No matter what your age or your music love
One of my favorite Dead songs from their later years. This and Picasso Moon are two of my favorites of all time. Jerry sounds awesome in this concert performance and I think that he actually sounds better live than in the studio. That’s just my own opinion but to my ears, his guitar sounds more eclectic 😮🎉❤
Dam coming out HOT, this is a SMOKIN Opener
My first show and what a show it was! I'm still enjoying the ride!!!!
RIP John Barlow. You will be missed my friend
I had a friend in Big Sur who had reels of Dead concerts recorded by the band or their engineers that were crystal clear. He had at least 500 of their shows. This was around 1983.
Love this song! I always thought Bob Weir looked like Norman Bates...
Bob says HAH!!!
He actually looks like a guy I went to school with.
This was my first show...open seating JFK, I think this was the last concert there ever...
I jumped on bothering Dead buss sometime in the 80's...been enjoying the ride ever since.
i wish i would have had the opportunity to see them live!! im so very thankful to have been introduced to their music tho. i swear it is THE most relaxing thing in my life. it is the only thing that relaxes me, takes me to another time & place & i can be at peace
Always Grateful for the Dead! ♥️🌹💀
My favorite opener!
A pretty fire Bucket. After about the 5 min mark it’s all bets off wacky time multilayer chordal unification splendor.
I was at this show. The funeral for JFK Stadium.
Me too
At least I’m enjoying’ the ride…❤️⚡️💙☀️🌈🎶🎶🎶…
I remember the MTV video its great!💯
Jerry G on guitar will bring them in from near and far! I saw them at Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro Mass. on July 3rd a few days before this and the parking lot scene was epic and never the same in the years after.
Yapostadodat saw em in 78 Lakeland civic dome,,,had a different drummer..!trucking
This whole show they bring the goods. Mydland's Rap during Blow Away, is so soulfully said with that wonderful voice of his. Let it Grow is good and tight all way through. '89 is such a smoker beginning to end⚡🎶⚡✌😎
This was my first show :) Thank you uploader!It must have taken a lot of time and patience.Deeply appreciated.
Brent Midland nailed it! 💯
Shit...this just does justice on many levels! Hey, I'm enjoying the ride, after f'ing bullshit and yada yada! Now I'm a real woman. 49! Loving my new life with a great husband! I so think we all have that love!
It's funny how you didn't mind typing "shit" but you abbreviate "fuck"
Just wait until your hypergamy kicks in then you'll hate him.
Crimson White and Indigo. Sublime good times.
I just keeping it alive the test my life!!
It was great the hippies so nice to share and trade
My favorite live Dead song, right along with every other one (pun intended)!!
Never gets old...
If I find out that any one of you who were at this show were using any kind of illegal substances, I will be very dismayed.
flmao. I was on beer. hahaha
bahahaha.
Sorry I took 3 doses :)
+John Doe LOL!
I'm pissed at the 21 people that disliked this video
Jerry is the definition of OG
No, you are.
Masters of their craft ❤
! of their best ever songs. Until you hear another 100.
Notice how no matter what Jerry NEVER misses a note or que?
🤣 fr. The aiko and rooster that follow really set up the smokin stuck inside of mobile. Def one of the best 1st sets. My girl and I listen to this show a lot 😍
What A Crazy Sound !
Honesty my favorite dead song
This proved they could rock to me when in the pocket groove this band was unique to say the least
Holy crap could Mickey Hart look any more thrilled to be there?
Mickey Hart went to Nirvana and brought the light back for all to hear. Just watch his eyes, you can feel it.

“At least I’m enjoying the ride” is code between Deadheads to establish that one is a legit Deadhead.
I don't see how one can beat this version. It' so hot most other music is a total comedown afterward.
reallly tight jam guys, well done
I think I was at this show... JFK in Phila, '89... yup, that sounds right.
So awsome too see. Pretty fast feel different
i love jer's expressions :]
I remember this show. The last dead concert I ever went to. They were awsome that day. Brents "Blow Away" was off the charts. The shrooms were abundandt. But what I remember the most was how fucking hot it was that day. Even after the sun went down no relief. What a long strange trip.
The last show at JFK
This was my first dead show
Saw 24 more after this
Perfect timing!
NOTHING isn't perfect here!
Could Jerry really be gone over 20 years? Seems like yesterday. Clearly their best album IMHO.
No, it's not the best album. It's the best G£}{>!!€am time ever in history, from time of the Big Bang, forward. There'll never again be anything great as this, ever.
THE BEST
ive been enjoying the ride!!
I think Bob in particular Enjoyed the Ride...
God, how I miss that RIDE... NOT FADE AWAY...THE SPECTRIM WAS SOME AMAZING SHOWS😤😨😍👣✌
I was there!!!
I was there too 😊
no wonder I really liked them back then
Hell yeah. Makes this old man happy!!!
Just Heaven!
Seen them 3 days later 7 10 89 Foxboro Massachusetts.. 💛⚡
Phil you big dork ❤️
Seeing it now, it's hard to believe it ever actually happened. What a beautiful thing. Long Live the Laughing, Seeing, Dead.
at least im enjoying the ride
Incredibly amazing! Your fucking awesome for posting this
Make America Grateful again 🙏
Always always sounds good🍻
Jerry was clearly in top musical form here. .awesome!
For SURE this is THE BEST KICKASS DEAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+MimmGigg "No dude"...really?? It's evident to even to the deaf or blind that Jerry was having a really good day here. I was giving a compliment.....there's nothing to debate or disagree about here...so bye!
There was about 3 months in the spring of 77 when the dead in top form... but over 3 years here- 87- till fall of 90 before Jerry got back on junk.
@MimmGigg Why negative? Jerry is tearing it up here & clearly digging it. '89 was the band in top form.
Let us not forget Robert Hunter
Nothin but Love :)
mss y love you forever
I like seeing The Grateful Dead, I hope you have your Red Cup.
