Grateful Dead 5-30-92 Sam Boyd Silver Bowl Las Vegas NV 

We saw this show tripping brains and it was our mission to heaven.

Totally opposite experience

@@CountryStoreArcata Funny how that works. The plurality of universes as seen through a droplet of Dr. Hoffman's magic elixir.

I was sober.@@CountryStoreArcata

Are you from Utah? This was my first Dead show and we came from Salt Lake to see it.

an amazing, beautiful story sir. I love ween, i love dead, and i most assuredly love you too. Thank you for bringing joy to a man too young to have otherwise seen this show! the world owes you! can i buy u a beer or 10 in chicago??

Thank you, wish I could make it, have one for me, thanks again, cheers :)

Thank you sir, I will assume you shot Sunday as well? Sunday was my first show and I've been pleased as punch to watch it over and over again for all these years since.

Thank you brother! A beautiful gift indeed.

LOL

I could in fact me & my husband to b had sex for 22 hours straight ! If we didn’t get tired we would have had more ! 🤣😂😵‍💫🤪😜🥰

My experience too. One of the most dramatic events I've ever witnessed. Poetry writ large. I'll never forget it!

I was exactly there with you. Back row top and amazed!

That is the smell of "home" for me.

I broke a rose stem and my fingers smelled like patchouli afterwards.

Yeah I remember all you guys up there as lightning strikes were happening in the lots, and the announcers pleading with you to drop your arms down . All wet. standing on metal benches!!!

How did you tape it and why didn’t you pan around more?

Saaaame 🌄

Wrong. We had tapes and VHS copies of shows.

I think its through GOD - just enjoy

If u believe in GOD, then just say thank u to GOD - I love GOD & Jerry & what he was - I know he passed; but he lives on by playing his songs.

I saw two people fly off of holding parking lot light pole...They were standing on the concrete column holding pole...ZAPPED! flew to asphalt parking lot ..They survived..Was that you ?

I'm sitting here homeless in New Orleans on an errie empty Frenchmen Street at 5:45am watching shows, about to send off a friend that passed away. Your story about the water hoses & your blow just made my day better, thank you I needed that laugh!!

A dead head said, they more psychedelic,I saw heard the same!

Mine too! I thought Steve would be awesome but it was too hot & kinda underwhelming… THEN (as described in a previous comment) 🤩 WOW 😮 Celebrating the 30th anniversary today of my maiden voyage. I’m glad there are other eye witnesses… WALSTIB… if the thunder don’t get ya THE SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING 🌩 ⛈ ⚡️into (Terrapin > Drums > Space > Spanish Jam)… MOST DEFINITELY WILL!! Plus that HEAVEN’s DOOR SUNSET… My very first show. I’ve never been the same since. Talk about getting on the bus. 🚌 In a subsequent interview Jerry was asked about this specific show and he said “everybody got IT that day..”. I just tuned in at 1 hour and 45 minutes and the recorded audience gasps 😱 & cheers don’t even do it justice. It was truly awe inspiring (we were all freaked out looking at the sky pointing like aliens were landing)… sounds hyperbolic but it felt like a visitation from Jehovah & the heavenly hosts playing the band in perfect syncopation. My wife and I are still pinching ourselves all these years later. ‘TWAS THAT EPIC. Thank you Jesus for letting me experience this glory in LV NV of all places. SIN CITY? You love us no matter our condition. You truly put your GRACIOUS hand upon the boys that day AND the thirty years that they let the “music play the band”. Forever grateful on this MEMORIAL DAY 5/30/2022. It seems like it was just yesterday. And I PROMISE I was not on ANY hallucinogens. * MVP that day: Mickey miraculously played the spheres as the heavens danced ⚡️ to the beat 🥁 with lightning streaks across the southwestern sky!

I also recall a complete atmosphere shift when the GD hit the stage. There was sudden shade and this chill presence of the community getting happy 1st set doing their hippy jig... My other comment describes the second setagonia mind melt and miracles that transpired… thereafter 😳

Welcome to the bus ride Tyler. Glad to have you aboard. ❤

agreed... was amazing buffalo

Boys brought the heat in Vegas

Bro, come to Dead and Co

I was 17. Drove down from Humboldt for this run where I had only been living for about a year after High School. Great run. This 1 & Sunday were truly EPIC!!! I caught 1991 Silver Bowl, '92 & then my last show was the "Unbroken Chain" '95 show (I missed 1993's epic Sunday 2nd set! I opted for the Cal Expo run that year.). Intuitively, my soul knew 1995 would be my last time. Never thought I'd get to hear Unbroken Chain in my wildest dreams.

I was 15. Lol.

Very true, I was one of those outside in the lot that day. Drove from CA just to check out the scene and hang out. Next day decided hey why not buy a ticket while we're here? Little did I know.... that there was no way I would miss Tempe in Dec. Oakland in Jan and Feb …. :)

2016Oct_not quite... Phil's still swingin it!

Great way to put it

Got that right. Phil always brought the goods!

yea, gotta say...Phil did not go down. he is just swinging

Love you guys miss all the more then Grateful Times I'm going for amputation of my left leg The Dead is the Only thing that lifts my spirit to go on another day don't really have family any more that give a RatAss about me anyways . The Grateful Dead is my FAMILY thank you Uncle Jerry see you in Heaven soon you too Brent

+LoloYodel I wonder who they were?

According to a trusted source, they were keyboardist Vince Wellnick's parents.

Vince took Jerry's passing so very tough. RIP Vince. I saw you TEAR it up in Boston, 94.

i agree w you man, that Sat night show, Vince lit those keys up on Walkin Blues, Big River, Promised Land, Scarlet, Last Time, OMSN

LoloYodel dude there like these guy got it look at all the people that are into this it was sold out hippie s getting fucking down hot show

Nice solo from Vince in Heaven's Door, too. This might be his best period with the Dead.

Was one of the most amazing moments for many of us... what a concert.

My first show.

Crazy huh. Out of 82 shows, I only heard it 3-4 times. Must have been the roses the next day 5-31-92 was the only one I saw.

@@stevedzurilla2436 Hell ya brother!!!

It's so cool to see so many people RAVING about this show. We were set up on four picnic blankets (plus friendly infiltrators), about 30 of us, at centerstage about 10 feet back from the rail. And blissful blissful blissful acid. The cosmic bud unfolding. This was definitely the best show, the eighth, of the 9-show west coast spring tour (expo, shoreline, vegas). Not a truly great Dead show (like 7/1/85 or 6/8/90 or 3/16/88 or ...) -- but one goddamn perfect right-betwee-the-eyes workaday Dead show, steal your face right off head no problemo. It's great to hear it at a mature distance and without the acid -- yes, it really is as good as it seemed under the blissful influence. I love it that Manasha puts in a short appearance around 1:51:00+ with the group in chairs behind Jerry (further behind him that it looks, flattened on the video) -- she was SO good for him, and her glow, bright as any sun. Blessings on that lady. Too.

Bobs sunglasses are the universe on this

shakedownstreet48 shane is that you??

Slots of Fun was crazy fun!

Dead Slots. Lol. I remember the shirt, a skeleton playing slot machines. Vegas Dead shows were freaking amazing! Ty, for the memories. My fave was 94, with Traffic. But, they all rocked!

Really? There are people sitting there also on 5/31 video also. I was at these shows, and very close up all three, and I don't remember people on stage at all. But those pants!

That's Manasha in her scarf who comes in briefly, sit, and leaves again around 1:51:00. Who's the elegant brunette in shades she's with briefly, who stays after she splits

Vince Wellnick's parents.

Strange they're sitting in front of Vince. Maybe that's what they wanted.

Good man, a proper Dead show.

that is moving brother. sweet sweet. 💘

The guards had me finish my beer (in a glass bottle) before entering the stadium. I was maybe 17. :). What a world that was. :)

@@jeffreyriggs2494 Good Times Bro! I headed right to the concession stand for an xl coke and mixed a nice beverage. Halfway through I was reeling. Stay Safe Bro! T

Shows were 29th 30th and 31st. My 1st Vegas dead shows. All were epic

I got in to the 3rd show with an Eric Clapton ticket from Miami the year before. The security questioned the ticket. I asked him what time Clapton came on. He laughed and ripped my ticket and told me to enjoy slow hand. It was perfect.

Fire fam!!

Did Steve Miller Band Open that year? If so, mine too. The best!

Not his parents. Jerry's dad died when he was 5 and his mother died(car accident) during the making of American Beauty. The song Brokedown Palace is about his mother's death.

I believe that’s Billy’s Dad. Or Not. Maybe Vince’s folks

Kevin Lang if you were there....during the drums and things the weather totally changed on a drop of a dime.....Remember, who knows what the weather might do? You had to be there

+Carole Barclay Hey, I remember the sudden weather change, see my comment above, did you see any birds flying in a circle above Jerrys head that show, everyone around me did, but no one could explain what they were or where they came from . They disappeared as quick as they appeared.Flying in a perfect circle above jerrys head, middle of the desert?Wow.

First thing I thought too. No crystal ball needed.
