Grateful Dead 10-3-87 Shoreline Amphitheater Mountain View CA 

Brent went balls to the wall from the first note. I think it set the tone for the show. I miss Brent almost as much as Jerry.Long live the Dead

I don't know if anyone has ever thanked you Voodoonola, but I really want to say thank you for doing whatever it is you did to get all these great moments posted. Thank you!

this is too friggin awesome. Candyman wow! B-E-A-utiful. can't get enough.. who's with me?!

Very good show from one of the (many) peak stretches in Dead history. What made '87 such a great year was, first and foremost of course, Garcia being healthy and relatively sober. The tidal wave of energy following the release of "In the Dark" and the success of that record. The enormous amount of material they now had being around for 20+ years and having the same line up for the past 8+ years. '87 has always been one of my favorite periods in the bands illustrious history.

God bless the Dead and all of us who have been there, at one time or another- 52 shows myself, well, the song is not over for me...2/1/15 and everyday is part of the same song that will not ever end! I met Jerry once, and asked him about what he will take from all this, in retrospect, and he said "I haven't the foggiest idea sofar, because each time I play, its as if I have never done anything like this before- but really, I would only be glad to have done it, besides, why was I doing it anyways?" Well, we shook hands and he said "By the way, thank you the question". I could only smile and take pictures, which are among my most valued possessions to this day.

Brent was such a magical musician. I wish he knew how much he was loved. ❤

SMOKIN' SHOW..... I started it expecting to listen to a song or 2 and wound up listening to the whole thing, Magic on this night!

This show is pure 🔥🔥 from the first note... GD '87 - '89 was magical... Rest In Paradise Jerry & Brent 🎶🎶🎸🎹

I saw most of my shows in 87 , probably 20 or so in that year and this is F*ing kickin' Brent was amazing , look how much fun these guys are having !

i always thought my brother esau was the most underrated dead tune from the mid-eighties on....of course, i have yet to find anyone that agrees with me on anything, but still...

Goddamn... they had so much snap in this era... the tone of the band is so nice... full of energy!

My first show, a day that changed my life. Thanks for posting! 👏👏👯👯🌈⚡️👯‍♂️👯👯‍♂️

What a fierce Hey Pocky! Love it.

Only a GOD in the heavens can give an earthly being like myself a blessing to know the GD! Iam full of joy my timeline has given me the pleasure of knowing this BAND

Ahh, Jerry, and Brent. What more can one say!!!

Fabulous run starting at 35:50; Jerry starts moving down the neck and then scales back up in a series of flourishes all culminating with a big smile from Brent as Bobby takes over again on vocals. The Dynamic Duo! Great stuff!

It's unbelievable that anybody would enable mid-reel ads in a concert video. I guess they just appreciate ad revenue more than the music.

I feel like when I finally get to Heaven, this is exactly how Ima be greeted!!! ⚡

'87 was the first year I saw the Dead. I was 16, took acid for the first time on the floor at the show in the Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ. God I was a lucky young man! My mind continues to be in awe of the cosmos as the adventure of being alive continues to unfold. That show in '87 changed my life!

87' great tone big sound straight rock n roll dead

Totally on point. The boys were completely locked in. Amazing show

Been a Deadhead since way back when, it was Neil and Jim's fault. Going to turn 70 in a couple of days. Thanks for this re-visit, really great production. I'll talk to Neil in a day or so and I think of Jimmy every week. God it's great to have old friends (some gone now but always remembered) and to have this music to listen too. Thanks again for posting.

I am pretty sure I went to this show... of course it was a while ago. Smokin show... anyone else remember any of this? I recall Bill Graham was out in the parking lot on horseback talking to the kids... something about some counterfeit tix. I met some really cool dudes from LA, gave them a ride, I'd just flown in from Guam. At the show they had this giant music contraption thingy made up of a bunch of old pianos nailed together, open string. So it was this huge musical instrument a bunch of hippies would dance around and bang on... pretty tripy and super fun during the drums.

Holy smokes, what a great quality video!! This shit is stellar,and most refreshing! you made my day! Get yourself a beer! You deserve it! Thank you so much!

Oh wow, suddenly realized this was back when i was living in Mill Valley, the day of this show, in the organic foods store, standing next to me is Bob Weir, getting avocodos or such. Politely I let him shop in peace. But then when he turned up again, behind me in the checkout line, had to smile and ask "So, are you guys going to rock tonight?" "Yup" he drawled. Viola this show above. I noticed out front that he was driving the same SAAB model as my dad, which I though an excellent choice.

Wow really good show, really high energy and you can really see Jerry and Brent connect musically. On a side note the mixdown for this who is really spot on. Phil is really present, must be the work of Dan Healy years but I'd have to look that one up I didn't see the band until the 90's. Thanks for posting another gem! They should release this one in my opinion!

Brent always played his ass off.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR ANOTHER DAY

THANK YOU JESUS FOR ANOTHER DAY AND YEAR

this show was one of my favorite bootleg tapes, played it till the tape snapped...great to see it live, miss brent.. thanks

Fun shows. Killer early Pocky Way with Brent hitting the B3 instead of the cheesy keyboard. Ripping first set most of the way through, obviously some songs are missing here. This Candyman is amazing with Garcia maxing out the "underwater cathedral" reverb, it's my favorite version out of the ones I saw. And the Maggies Farm > Cumberland is perfectly executed and live in the moment was maybe the single greatest dance party experience of my many shows - the place just exploded in a vortex of swirling dancers. Good times at the Dump. Funny to think how much the deadhead consensus group-mind hated this venue at the time given that it's now beloved in memory. Everyone was just grumpy it wasn't the Greek or Frost.

For those of you who don’t get the pure JOY of a Jerry Garcia guitar solo. Don’t give up, take a deep breath and keep listening.

It was all in the Music, the Music Sustained it all, Play until you Die, Play until that last, Chord!,That is what Music, is all about; B.B. King, played His Last Note on his Stage. Jerry Garcia, played his Guitar, until the Last Note was Played......And now, and now, they have charge of their own creation, they are a Star! And the living planet they have created, is all Music......Just all of their living creatures making Music; Together!!!!1

Looks like rain is about people in the front row getting drenched by Bobby's spit while he's singing.

Some of the greatest times of my life with my best friends, who are all gone now, were spent at shows like this, there was truly nothing like a Grateful Dead concert..

Careful now...they’ll steal your face and leave your heart aflame...🔥❤️🔥 F*ckin sick show from the first note! Turn it UPP!!!

Jerry and Brent really had a musical connection

Voodoonola does God's work

Im so blessed I was born in an age where I was able to experience the energy flow between human beings like none other in one place all with one focus!!!! Words can't put it in words!

Amazing show. Another beauty from 87. Loved the Addams Family interlude before Masterpiece too!!

AMAZING

The point when the Dead is jamming so intensely that you realize nothing else matters.

Bob is on fire towards the end of Throwing Stones, and the transition is epic

Twas there, umm some1 probably said this but did this really end with Esau? Anyways according to my memory....I have no idea at all. I was there with a Cass and another person, such as Just In time B who also got to Syracuse only for the revolution encore cause he thought the show was in Binghampton. He does that all the time, or did when the Dead were here monthly like in 1979. He is probably still wandering around in the woods at saratoga thinking its 1985, looking for the blue tent and the silver Toyota Corolla. If they play there tis year and u see an old homeless person, ask him if he is looking for me. Thanks, and dont even try to sell him any stickers like during the Stranger Eyes, or shoot him. That just makes him angrier......and to the people wondering if Esau is a good song or not, I Know a Town named Ba Vi that u can..............................die in. Its NOT in east LA, and they didn't sell condos when they were there. But u may get hit by a swinging 1000 pound primitive swinging weapon that can take the heads off f a group of Tubaabs anytime, anyday. Pick your paddy. Ask anyone at a show in 2015, and they indeed will not know anything about it. But it is completely true. Ask Bob. He wasnt there, but may have done a bike trip there in 1998 as a "Conservationist." They thought they w anted a conversationalist, so he went. He was like Some say I am, some say I aint. They setlled on him being both.

Me and my friends were arrested at this concert (just contained in the cell overnight), and it was hilarious- all the other people in there were dead heads and we spent all night talking about our favourite albums and tours we'd been on.

29 years later and it sounds like yesterday, what a cool period and place this was for seeing this band. Thanks for hosting this and the others.

This is why I fucking subscribe to you

one of the best sounding and most sonic SBDs I can remember obtaining... great video, thanks voodoo

Had to miss this one because I had to move from California to New York where my dear aunt forbade me to go!!! Of course I was only 16, but I had already gone to a dozen or more shows by then! She saw the skull, but not the roses I guess, and got scared.

The Grateful Dead are probably the most important thing that's happened to me in my life. Knowing them has changed the trajectory of my entire existence, and I am so happy to say in my 50s, I'm still able to see them play. John Mayer is a blessing sent from Jerry. We are so lucky to have been born during this time and able to experience them, the most magical band in the world. ❤⚡

This one was pretty good…would have been my 685th

This is the second show from their first ever run at Shoreline. The venue was still very new to them at this point. That's why Weir sarcastically sings " T right here in wherever we are??...garbage dump!" during Minglewood..lol! For those who might not know ..Shoreline was built on a former landfill.

Thanks as always. Priceless having these videos easily available.

Good show - some good songs, some? not so good. nice encore. nice throwing stones. nice Cumberland...terrapin was the highlight.

Best Dead beards: 1. Jerry (obviously) 2. Brent 3. Phil (his 74 beard was pretty tight) 4. Donna 5. Bob

Grateful to have. Been at these 3 shows at the First time they played at Shoreline!! Great show and a fun time and a Great trip!!💥😎Had a real good time!!🍄🍀☘️ ALL 3 nights!! Saturday night being the best,...in My opinion 🟪🟪🟪🍄😁🎶🎸🌅🌴🌳🔥💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💚💐

Thank you

GREAT SOUND QUALITY......Great opener too, THIS RIPPED IT UP....4 seconds into the vid I pushed the like button....i cant wait to hear the rest , I KNOW I am in for something good....

I remember going to these!!! Clean and Sober Garcia, and it shows...smokin hot!!

My first dead show. I was a junior in highschool. Can't believe my parents let me go on a school night. My dad was an in the closet dead fan. I took some sunshine with my girlfriend. Such a great night! It took us about 3 hours to find her parents van after the show. That parking lot was huge and we never thought to pay attention where we parked. I got home around 3 am.. my parents let me slide!

That Maggie’s>Cumberland is off the hook!

Holy shit. Just stumbled onto this. I was at this show and nearly lost the plot because of the mushrooms. The friend I was with was in some dark cavern on Neptune and was no help at all. Didn't remember the show being this good. Great to hear it a second time.

Bobby'd come to the show wearing khakis and then change into the shorts lol. Classic.

I was there, my second show!

Looks like rain 🌧 😐 yes YES YES ITSOK

Great sound quality! i love crispy boards. This show is balls-out!

This is incredible! Sound and picture is unreal. Where did the vid footage come from (if you don't mind me asking?) This was early in my journey with the Dead. This was the start of my senior year in high school which was just down the street. There was a real spark in the Bay back then, and the GD entering the last great period of their career. Great time to be in the Bay Area. The Giants were on a tear, the great 49er era, and the GD was the soundtrack to it all. Definitely killer. Thanks for putting this out.

Great show! Love these '87 gems! Such an underrated era for the band, but one of my favorites. Brent at the top of his game, Jerry happy and focused, tight rhythm section... Just amazing.

I'm late to this party but I've got to say that this is the best Gràteful Dead live concert I've seen on RU-vid yet.

Danced so much on concrete at Dead shows that I'm on my third hip replacement. Really appreciated grass when there was some available.

nice Addams Family tease before Masterpiece!

I was there. Grew up in Monterey

We "slept in" an orchard down the street that night (10-3-87) after losing our people. Hungry in the A.M. some folks in a school bus gave us a can of veggie chili... found an opener and ate it cold with warm beer...awesome. "Now what do we do all day?".

I remember red lights on the highway in west LA

If some of the shows weren't pieced together you wouldn't be able to view them or relieve them!My hats off to all the hard workers that make it happen!!

420 Pocky Way Marin County,CA 94970

I still can't believe this was 30yrs ago. We lived in the days of magic

Voodoonola your page is my favorite online experience every time

One of the most interesting song lineups ever. None of the sometimes overplayed, usual tunes, but still plenty entertaining! Wish I'd been there. Pigpen is floating in the ether for this show.

Brent wrote my favorite train song of all time.

IMAO, The highlight is Terrapin/Drums/Space. Guess, some folks prefer Candyman.

thanks voodoonola2 you have brought back so many great memories to me I was on tour from 84-91, I miss those days soooo much... seeing a vid of Augusta 84 is just more then I could ever want! that was probably one of my best shows ever!!! thank you Voodoo, blessings

What a hot show!

dated Brent's girlfriend's younger sister so we related

Nobody talking about that monster Candyman

killer drum action on pocky fuckin way !

Honestly I enjoyed Brent way more than Pigpen & Yoko France… not to say I don’t love that album as well but Brent all day!!

So far the BEST, My Brother Esau. Come on it’s so incredible!

Phil hasn't bought a shirt in 30 years. Always rode to the show with the T-shirt dudes!

I have a real family when I listen to the dead. Even got to meet Bobby backstage once. If you have a chance go see Phil play at his venue at Terrapin Crossroads in Marin, CA. It's very intimate and wonderful.

Jerry pulls off the candy-man!

PHIL during Masterpiece

damn...the boys were fuckin on it

I love your dead sets great job editing sounds great! Thank you for sharing

Brent is badly missed, too...

Shorelines first shows. many many memories.

This is a great show!!!

Top quality video and sound; and they played great, too. Check out Jerry laughing at Bob during Masterpiece, when he sings “Newspaper men eating candy had to be held down by the big police.”

I WAS THERE!

Thanks so much to Voodoonola2 for all these great Dead videos. Wonderful sound comes through in his editing. I consider the early-mid 80's (with Healy fully in charge after Betty Cantor left) the era of the best overall audio reinforcement for the band. Crisp, lively, with excellent sense of space and seperation for all instruments & voices (with particular emphasis on bringing out the very low and very high tones...notice how "punchy" & alive Phil's bass sounds). By the time of the beginning of Jerry's demise (1990 or 91) in terms of playing ability, their sound reinforcement had become totally "digitized" with no real sound reinforcement or monitors on stage. They also started to run all the instruments through tons of digital processing and compression that severely muddied their sound. Nothing Lasts (but that's OK). RIP Jerry Garcia. RIP The Grateful Dead.
