Grateful Dead Documentary (Providence RI 1985) 

I know both both people as well lol And when Matty walks by I think that's Beth's boyfriend back then Eddie walking behind him

@@jeffrey.5642 yes it is isn't it.Cool.

Awesome brother!!!! Cheers!! 🍄 🍄 🍄

@@chrisevans8694 cheers to you too man🍺🍺🍻!! positive vibes your way!!🍄🍄🍄🍄 🌞💥🐻😎😁

Red Rocks is awesome!

Right? No other band that I've seen live has that uber welcoming vibe, that pure love scene, that completely come as you are community. Some are close, some are better at different aspects of wholeness and/or consciousness of responsibility to their scene/fans impact, but I'll always pine for that experience the dead and us as a whole created & shared together.

Ventura 85!!!!

Definitely a home made documentary! Glad you enjoyed it.

Kinda like if God a favorite band it would be GD.

@@StarDarkAshes God does, and they are. 😎👍

@@jbmaron epic thank you so much

Are you my daddy

I was 15 went to first show. my parents was like they are still together. they said have fun. I came back home 2 months later. lolz

@@TheCatfishcheese Me too hitch hiked home from North Carolina to Atlanta...got home at like 7 am....in a honda accord with the roof sawed off....

I was 15 in 85 , went to a few shows that year myself . Irvine meadows .

Attended my first show 12/30/87 Oakland Coliseum.Night before New Year's eve. I was only 17 and took about three hits of good acid! My friend and I both had out of body experiences during space that night. Hell I'm 51 years old and just 2 years younger than Jerry was when he passed. Wow!It has certainly been a long strange trip!!! And the trip continues.✌🥰😁😝

I went to my first dead show when I was 17 years old. And we were shunned by arrogant deadheads on the floor for being newbies. They gave us dirty looks and tried to make us feel like we weren't supposed to be there. Was very awkward and and annoyed the fuck out of me but ended up having the best show!just had to ignore them!Fuck em' right? Despite the Arrogant Vibes of assholes I became a new member of the tribe that night.Peace and love and joy!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

@@jbmaron Let It shine, my friend.🖖🏽

Cool! Bear is my cousin but I never met him.I met Kreutzman around the time he passed away and he had some funny anecdotes.if you can tell me anything cool about Stanley I'd appreciate it⚡

@@joshbolton5624 Hey there Josh, I would be pleased to share my memory’s of your uncle. I really would love to speak with you. Would you be interested in that.I am in plague central otherwise known as Florida. Well let me know what you’re thoughts are about a phone call and hopefully we can connect. Your uncle and his acidhead friends changed the course of my life in strange and wonderful ways. I feel I owe you uncle some serious payback and speaking with you maybe a small repayment for the positive effects on my life. ⚡️🎸⚡️🖖🏽

@@stephentmarksberry4484 Hey man Yeah! I'm at 8594472707 just text and we can figure out a good time to talk.been snowed in here in Kentucky fortunately got some caps and stems before it hit😊 but cool!thanks!!

imagine a time when any band played shows, and it was just normal life.

I member

👍

What's a show?

Imagine a time when people gathered together, seeing each other's faces and smiling at each other, and it was just normal life. Or, for that matter, even those "mainstream" folks walking through a shopping mall and riding up an elevator without masks on, and without an apparent care in the world.

All's We can do is hope! Long live The Dead! We got Live in this dream and ....I miss everybody!!

@@Jazzywazz Greetings from Annapolis Maryland! I miss everyone 2! 💙💬😇✌

Ur welcome 🙏 ☺ 💓 and greetings from Annapolis Maryland!😇💖💙

I’ve seen two shows in Providence. Both were awesome!

hey another barrington head!

My wife was going to Roger Williams when I met her at the Providence Civic Center fall of 1987. It was a 3 show run. We went to all 3 shows.🖖🏽

I'm from Barrington RI too, never seen the dead as I was born in 86 but can't stop listening to them now!

I thought it was borington (dry town)hahaha - I think my motorcycle instructor at CCRI taught me that. Glocester RI here.

Glad you liked it. I found my old VHS and had to share it.

In the strangest of places, if ya look at it right, 🍄

95.5! (RIP) 😕

@@extraniceness 🤙🏼✌🏽 I also really liked the Roger Williams College(not the pathetic current RW "University") station, 88.8. Although 2nd fiddle to 95.5, for a spell it had a grate Dead hr show hosted by two real characters. Good old days, eh. ✌🏽

Sad but true

Yeah, sure Jerry and Brent are gone. And DeadCo have slowed the tempo down. But the vibe at DeadCo and Phish shows is still pretty kind... Can you say Lock'n...

@@jeffh2563 good to know some people are still having a rockin good time.

...over a long time ago.

@@squweh if you're not open to being current. Then I guess, for you they are. But while you're sitting it out. Bob, Billy and Mickey are still shining their Lovelight. At shows that still fill all of the old venues. And Phil's still dropping bombs with the Family Band, at Terrapin Crossroads... If you ever feel like getting back on the bus. It's still touring around, and so is Phish, as well as The TTB, Gvt. Mule, JRAD and Hot Tuna... Maybe see ya at a show sometime?

Should have told them they always play samson & Delilah on Sundays. I was at the show I live 20 minutes away.

I laughed at that too.

I had to rewind just to make sure I heard it correctly. Typical hairbrained nightly news comment.

Ty. 'Same material'?!! I was like, wtf! Glad, to know that I wasn't going nuts. Lol. 😎👍

Sometimes during the song Row Jimmy, Bobby would put his hand on the neck of his guitar, as if it were an oar, and making a rowing motion. I clearly remember him doing this at my very first show (New Haven 83) but could not say for sure here. They did play Row Jimmy in Providence on 4/3.

Do you remember the old "Bob Weir Wisconsin's Finest" tee shirt?

@@tonymasiellovids wow all these years and I never knew that, thank you!

@@jeffh2563 yes also the Cheeto cat tshirts😂

That guy was like a wet blanket on the whole segment.

Guess she never seen the song catalog or was told that each setlist and show was different...

I caught that too, shes like, "and even though their repertoire didn't change" lmao!

Why?

Hey Kris, short but very sweet documentary huh? Mickey always has something positive to add. He's full of energy and ideas. Show had a real nice Terrapin as well! 👍🌹🐢

@@kxmotox13 i feel that Mickey Hart maybe one of the most underappreciated members of the Grateful Dead... by current deadhead standards... but i think that he is seriously.... quite Cool!

@@krissantos6624 I very much agree! I have followed him since he came on the scene, including his farewell tour with the core four and Trey from Phish. His words are always positive, and so are his vibes!! 📻🌹🐢

How so?

@@Lughnerson All the talk about the Dead having no commercial success in the record industry. In 87 they had hit records, regular airplay on the radio & Mtv, and became a perennial top grossing act from then on.

@@joefelice5062 ironically 1985 was the last time I was interested in going to Grateful Dead shows. I still love the music always have always will. It just seemed like the crowd was changing and it wasn't fun for me anymore. But I never missed a Neil Young and Crazy Horse Show between 1978 and 2012. Neil and the horse were just hitting their stride late 80s early 90s. This video is so cheesy the 80s were just horrible but the few Snippets of Grateful Dead music was worth 10 minutes of my useless life

@@charlesandrews2360 it’s a shame you missed out on “clean” Jerry (86-90), it was a great time. But I completely understand what you mean by the change in the crowd... used to be you could show up to any show and camp in the parking lot, always have room to roam, and always find a ticket if you didn’t have one. The venues started banning camping in 88, and the crowd swelled so much that certain venues like Hampton, Frost, and the Greek banned the Dead by 89 because too many people were showing up. I remember seeing way too many drunks and jock-types (the stereotype) at shows by 90... people who didn’t respect those around them and were there only for a party, not at all for the music. I didn’t care for that, but the music was still good enough so I put up with it. And then Jerry started to seem out of it again in 91-92, but unlike the early 80’s, the heroin affected his playing. I stopped going to shows around this time myself. They still had their moments, and I went to the odd show here and there, but it was sad to watch Jerry fading quickly and the music was a mess... I actually fell asleep at the one show I saw in 94 because it was sooo blah. But I’m so glad I got to experience that last peak before 92.

@@joefelice5062 that's funny, the only time I ever fell asleep at a show, was also in 94. It was at Richfied Colosseum. I fell asleep during Lazy Lighting, and woke up during Might As Well. I blame it on all of the driving.

So true brother! 💀🎸🎶🎵💕💖🌌🧠

- I was laughing when I saw Gravity Falls and the kids of the day were all hippies in like 2013 too - forever
