Great footage, some of the best camera work and clarity too of the band imo. Great first set of all solid and powerful songs that are tightly played and you can tell the band is on a good night and having fun with everything coming easy. 93 gems are great to experience and continue to find more of them to play Eyes of the World continues the ride pretty much perfectly.
@@erikjohnson8334 That's how it was in 89-98 the Drug pandemic was pretty bad. Strong Dope/Coke LSD Etc..from NY, Phia, Detroit, Buffalo, Miami were spread across this great Country at an epademic rate. So many were doing some king of something including me.Black Peter
I wasn’t a dead fan at the time and went to this show to see Sting. This show changed my life. I was blown away by the Dead and completely sucked in by the crowd. I finally found the crowd I was supposed to fit in with. Life changing show!
I saw Woody &Arlo [Alice's Restaurant] Guthrie/Rat Dog/3koosticHooka Ekoostic Hookah/Bobby sat in for damn near whole set pretty sick. Finally I had eaten some of the great designer ExcThC,(Motorola s) and gotten glitter bombed which was great but I accidentally ran into none other than Dawg Grisman and some young super excited girl asked for David'autographs so naturally I took my hat off sand asked if he'd sign my Jerry hat which was new and awesome he did and then I got him to sign my Phil and Phriends stub which he did gladly all over Phil's name here funny and I bowed and excited to my pond or my tent....haha but what an amazing place Buckeye Lake Ohio, which is where Tauk, Ehooka, and shiton of others. Dude let me hold his meteorite which was so full of energy I couldn't hold it past 5 mins or even not have it out. Craziest feeling from a piece of space platinum or space titanium/iron? Or Silver/Steel/idk it was size of 50c cent piece and as thick as 6 quarters together with outer space joojoo so moral of the story... Build memories this one was from '99& about a Ekoostic Hookah festival at Buckeye Lake I also enjoy the legends of the valley which is close to there which k I've seen met and had interesting times but that meteorite and experience have made me leery but as long as Nelson ledges fboy status and place for ttotalWingest of wing nuts hands down
This show was the day before my high school graduation. We drove there from Pittsburgh. My mom almost didn't let me go. I had convinced my older sister to take me so she could promise my mom that we would get up super early and be home in time for my graduation. (My sister was not a deadhead, but was a trooper when it came to me dragging her along places with me) I got home in time, got a quick shower, threw on my robe, and made it in time! I think I had shorts and a t-shirt on under my robe. And my birks on my feet of course. It was a great show!
Sounds like you have a grate sister! I love stories like this and wish I could travel back in time and live this day that you lived. Sounds like you had a fun and unforgettable time!
My first show at 14 years old. This singular event changed the whole trajectory of my life in an incalculable way and I will eternally be grateful for it.
I saw this show and many other summer shows. I try to explain to people why I chose the Dead over college. It was life changing education . It brought more joy than most could imagine. I became a better woman because of seeing shows. I am grateful for the time I had on tour. I'll never regret the greatest band in history. I'm damn lucky!
@@jaredwood2120 I went to college and regretted that decision and not going on Grateful dead tour. I'm thinking of quitting job and going on road trip for 3 years. Any Band you would suggest following, not the same but the best I could do:)
I was born in 66 and I've seen the dead 7 times. The dead changed my life in a very positive way. We sure could use them today. Peace, love and happiness to all.
Dead and company lol. Jerry changed my life. The BAND behind him was always awesome, but seeing Bobby alone with whoever they want to fill in for Jerbear isn't even close. Personally I'd rather have an amazing stereo setup and listen to a show then pay to see Bobby! Maybe I'm alone in that thought. But nobody can replace Jerry!
This show changed my 23 yr old life forever. Seeing dead n co at Deer Creek (don’t care what y’all call it now) I will pay my respects to The Mighty Dead. Not much for commenting on videos, but this was the pinnacle for my generation. We all thought the music would never stop. Now after all these years, I Believe with all my heart that TRULY the music will NEVER stop….that makes my soul happy and I will die with Jerry’s Melodie’s in my ears. Thank You Grateful Dead for changing the world one note at a time. ❤I’m blessed because of you.
I was at this show as well. I was 18... A boy gave me his shirt to wear that night, as I got cold, even though it was summer time. Deer Creek '93 was a great show as well. Fond memories, indeed. 🎵The music never stops...🎶
@@phoebepalahniuk210 We might have crossed paths. I had so many people that I only saw in certain cities. Wish I could get a fresh hug from those cats.
My dad seen them a couple times. I never appreciated it then tho. Kinda glad he didn't bring me with him- might've turned me off to something which id find a much greater appreciation for later
My parents took me to a show exactly 10 months after this. 2 weeks before I turned 3. My earliest memories and reoccurring dreams continue to be Jerry from that show.
Wasn’t able to be there because I was busy being born on this day. But glad I got to be alive at least for a bit of it. I’ll never get to see Jerry, but I will always listen
Thanks for posting this! My kids aged 9 and 6 attended with me and their mom, and have some faint memories of this show. The Dead crew were so kind. They set my 6 year old daughter up with a safe spot in an actual chair on one of the "towers" for light or sound and she literally had -the- best seat there. Her face sure lit up when she recognized Jerry, too. They gave us backstage passes (it was closed already but great souvenirs) too. And all because the kids started climbing something they weren't supposed to climb, and instead of lecturing about rules and safety and stuff, they treated us like favorite cousins. It was a really amazing experience for us all.
I so miss following Jerry for years in our orange pop top ...living the good life....swaying up and down shakedown selling grilled cheese and yager shots at 13...my mammas and poppas selling stir fry and homemade dresses...if only I could go back to those days living in Carmel traveling all up and down the west coast just to feel the ultimate feeling of love and happiness and then switching up and traveling all over the upper east coast...the people I met the spinners I'd dance with near the huge speakers just letting the music take hold of my soul...Always and forever in my heart...miss you all so much..keep truckin thru this virus yall!!! Love and let love xoxo✌✌❤
Got on the bus in 89’ just in time to see Brent 💚 I was 15. So many stories, so many roads after that. I feel truly blessed to have seen “The boys” do their thing and embraced every note I could. “One more day I find myself alive”
They were unique, and when they nailed it, they could transport everyone in the audience. And everyone who was there knows that, and will never forget it. However the recordings often don't quite capture that, but they come close at times..
@@JB-yk4bf The sound was so huge on the floor, even deafening at times, like the keyboard felt omnipresent, and then Jerry would drown everyone else out, even the drums. When you were young, you felt like--this is epic! And the music could take you to dark places, and then uplift you and your friends, everybody lost in their dance, stopping to hug, and you felt like it would never end.
My 3rd show! First show was the previous summer here. Was 15 and already addicted...the music, the crowd, the passion, the lifestyle...NEVER will be another event like when jerry and the boys came to town. Summer nights barefoot in the grass under the stars...
At some point I made it my decision to dose or shroom at every show up until the show on 7-9-95 I chose against it as I had been dosing even on non show days and that plus the ugliness had me at wits end, the tolerance was very high by then and almost didn't seem to work no matter how much I ingested. Atleast I didn't have a quantity on me to keep tearing a chunk off every song or two.
Originally from Akron, never missed the Buckeye shows!! I found the Dead shortly after they played the Rubber Bowl in Akron! ( I was living in St Louis at the time.) 1:09:36 So, Jerry passes away in '95, which gave me a good 9 years to experience & love the Grateful Dead! Every show was as beautiful as the one before & the one on its way.. I will always love & miss my dead family!🌹☀️💐🎵🥁😊🎶🔥😘🎸🎙️🎶🎈🥰🐈❤️ Thanks to all of you for fantastic times and so many wonderful memories!!
I can never truly express what dead tour was like. Another world. My God to see interstate 80 with nothing but busses and cars with dead stickers on em. Truckers hated when the dead was touring. This was a great show. Summer of 93 was incredible. I miss You Jerry. Privileged to have been there.
I was at all of them. With the exception of the one with the Violent Femmes... I was also at at both of the Hookahville's that Rat Dog played there. And all of the Richfield shows, except the one that got snowed out.

I remember four of us drove to the show even though we had no tickets. No tickets were available at the box office but when the Sting fans left in a mass exodus after his opening set, the ground was littered with ticket stubs. To my amazement, they let is in with the stubs we collected. Very cool show on an amazing night.
@@colleen1750 As I understand it, it was not this show but RFK. Sting himself was not happy that Healy had the PA at less than optimal volume for his opening set. The whole Dead operation, other than Healy, was somewhat embarrassed about it. Healy felt it best not to chance taxing the sound system on the opening act. One piece if what lead to Healy's dismissal.
Wow! This show kinda represents "My Dead"... I saw 40some shows between 6/18/92 and 8/9/95 - and, Goddamn it was glorious.... Thanks for this - LOVE YOU ALL.
Great day...hot as all get out but loved it ... I saw the Birmingham AL shows in April 1995 ...I got a beautiful Morning Dew in Birmingham...Jerry looked so tired that night in April of 95.... , I miss Jerry so much ! Foolish Heart was a great jam near the beginning.... I cried that last night in 95... but seeing this show brings a tear too... this is a good memory Michele!
Steve Miller was the warm up band. I remember vividly “fly like an eagle” playing as we floated into the concert area. AMAZING day and night. Camped and drum circled until the sun came up. Magical.
I get sad at seeing how many of our friends have RIP attached to their names. I have almost lost count of those that I knew and I was a kid when Pigpen was around so I'm not in my 60s or older so a lot of gone brothers and sisters. Sorry to hear about your friend.
I got it screenshot . Your comment and Kenny Duncan in the crowd enjoying this magnificent show. With his long hair. Captured in time you two live forever together and your memories
My soul has been Dope sick for Jerry these past few weeks. I cannot get him out of my mind. it NEVER stopped hurting. I was pregnant with my first when he left us. I will miss him forever.
He resonates, within you, and me, our chldren. My son was 1yr, when Jerry walked on.He has his own band now, mostly Dead covers. The music never stopped✌
I bet you him and Brent were absolutely pleaseed to run into each other.I'd like to think Ron is there.. Jerry blessed/changed millions of peopleI,& I thank the universe I got a half dozen shows under my belt before he passed.✌️🙂✌️. It's going to be okay the "World is a Vampire". He left us a beautiful gift.
Brought a friend from Brazil to see Dark Star Orchestra 10 years ago. She had no idea about the Grateful Dead but did love music. Turned to me halfway through the first set and said, “this music is so involving”. Nailed it.
The more you listen to Dark Thief not an orchestra. The less you know Grateful Dead music. Run friends. Run from the grift of a band. Dark thief not an orchestra. They cover up the grateful music they are disgracing with every note. Beware
I am from Ohio and had attended the Buckeye lake shows including the one there the year prior where it poured rain on us. I had graduated college in ' 92 and joined the ARMY and had just got out of boot camp and AIT in spring 93 and had a furlough to go home for a few days. Met all my buddies that were still in school and we went to this show- what a fantastic time. Last I saw of several of those guys as we drifted apart over the years but I will always remember this show with fond memories.- awesome to see the video posted here!!!
I think it was THIS show. I way over indulged in a great variety of things that day. That storm came in and dropped the temps and I was going hypothermic ... lost the folks I rode with, found my homies in the lot and got a blanket, lost them after the show and found the tribe I rode up there with. The things that happen at Dead shows ... aaaahhhhhhhh ...
This is one of the best Foolish Hearts I ever heard. Was at this show. Seems like so long ago. The memories ................... toured for 11 years and can’t say that I wish I had done something else. At least we still have our memories and the music captured for ever. Miss ya Papa Bear Thanks is all I can say.
It's nice to actually SEE this show. I remember being stuck outside and listening and watching a beautiful sunset. Our car broke down on the way to Buckeye Lake and after a series of kind heads giving us rides we wound up in the campground with a neighboring dirt bike course. Good country summer vibes all around. After the show the campground was a huge dance party. We ended up crashing in a barn. good times.
Thank you, so much! This was my fourth show but it was the show that I first experienced the unique group think. What a wonderful memory. We got there at 6am and the locals already lined the road with "Welcome Dead Heads" sings, waving and greeting. My friend and his girlfriend wanted to go get a coa campsite, I couldn't figure out why and said just drop me off. There was field after field after field for parking. i think the number of people was 180,000. The first people I met on my adventurism were from New York . We promptly traded libations and greetings. They enjoyed floating on the freshies and The bear pointed me to a walkabout that lasted the next 18 hours. A non-stop meet and greet, oddities and a new since of community that felt like Sunday pasta with my family. Eventually realizing I hadn't looked for a ticket (not sure how a massive open area was sold out but guess it was) I had befriended and freshened every person I came across, After maybe an hour of casual positive cloud talk with some guy I simply asked "Hey do you have an extra by any chance?" With out hesitation he wiped out a mail order and said enjoy, He did not want money this was the start of what I still practice today if I have an extra I give it to someone who really wants to see the music, I can't stand scalpers. We parted and I found myself on Shakedown with a couple, that had been out for a minute, The guy was making chain mail and the girl had made her own necklaces. They were interacting with everyone the way shakedown works. At some point out of the blue the girl stood up and declared the whole 3 walls of tapes didn't mean anything and that what mattered was this community. She went on a 15 diatribe analyzing a scene I had only observed a few times. Again this stuck with me in that, I love to be with all walks of life from the rainbow to the trust fund as long as whoever has good intentions, ( Right around this time 60 minutes erred a piece on the dead that my grandfather watched, Of course they went to the buses and first questioned they asked "don't you guys have to go back to work?" "I don't ever plan on having a job" My grand pa did not hear another word of the 60 minutes but repeated it every time me or my cousins were going to see the dead. He bought us our 95 NC tickets for all three nights and rented us a car) This is a common misconception I meet doctors, lawyers, politicians, gold card, trust fund, bikers , street rats, run always, country folk and the myriad of infinite possibilities in between and beyond. Like anywhere there are bad actors sometimes worse than others but that sense of community like one big family from the first dead heads to my self at this point 16 years old was and still is special. I realized it was time to go in, gave some hugs and went skipping away... about 20 minutes latter approaching the gate I could not find my pouch that had my ticket, money, acquired bear and fresness. I screeched started running as quick as possible back to shakedown and the couple. Panicked with arms flaring but it was not there. Almost hyperventilating the girl grabs my two shoulders looks me in the eyes and say's "Don't worry, your going to find it" I was not convinced but went to look. 5 minutes later in the middle of the dirt road connecting parking lots where everyone was just walking I see the pouch. Every thing still in place cash and ticket I ran back to couple elated purchased a necklace with the chain mail. Gave huge hugs and marched my way into the oddest venue I've been to. As Massive as when you enter the Gorge before you see the river. It was just a huge open filed with a raven. First set I danced next to a beautiful spinner all smiles, fell in love, tipped my hat at set break wondered closer in a trance, as drums started I decided to go over to the raven and sit for a moment. i heard the unmistakable noise of shhhhhhhh . Two girls sitting arm in arm laughing and smiling. yes security was very lax they carried a whole tank in. Without world we were handing fresh and shhhhhh to each other throughout drums, As The Wheel was staring I again tipped my hat and made my way a lot closer. At which point My mind left body like astral travel. I felt like I was being asked where I wanted the train to go by everyone there. Kinda of an omnipresent energy that seemed to be not just communicating with me but propping me up to be the conductor of that energy (not the Band) So strange but life changing. After the show I wondered in no particular direction in a spell. When around 2 am my friend found me and said lets go no coa, This another mode I still follow. When there isn't another show the next night get on the road and drive with that energy. This show was the first time I heard So Many Roads I cried a little not sure why. My daughter's name is Corrina which I was singing all the way home. Tthe Wheel, all along the watchtower, black peter, sugar magnolia to the Broke down Palace I was in pure bliss. The whole show was a great set list and preformed well. I sent a blank tape in the mail to someone I had only traded tapes with and received the soundboard a few months latter. I refused to organize or put my dead shows against any walls. Thinking if i needed a show it would present itself by my reaching into a pile... Skip several years to Dec 2006. I had recently moved north of Berkley with my young family. I stayed home with my newborn boy and my four year old daughter while my wife was working during the day and I was driving an hour south to wait tables at night. Some friends of mine from Rat Dog tour were coming up from desert hot springs to stay in a nice hotel in the city. They had brought gifts for me and I was looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, However, as I listened to the first set I drove write past the hotel then was on the 101 instead of the 5 and didn't even notice. I then proceed to have a full conversation with my best friend who was back in Lawrence Kansas, felt like I was speaking to him and he was there, I caught a tear in my eye and remembered tears at buckeye during the so many roads that I was now listening to Jerry repeat the chorus at the end. I finally made it home wonder lost and confused around 2 am. A different friend called and told me that my friend had just passed away. I haven't actually listened to this show since that day. doing phish tour in 97 I listened to that tape non stop for 2 months and it never left that pile I could reach my hand into and grab. So many years later and its like entering a former home. Love it, during these strange times its easy to get lost in Babylon duties and stress. Fear this stay away from your fiends and family, while the media seems to beg for what fear or control is next. Unfortunately my home BOB show was just cancelled days before it due to this craziness. However, since the first view from the vault I've been anxious for this show to be released. After not hearing it for 14 years and as much as it means to me, THANK YOU SO MUCH for touching an engram and giving me a real boost. love it. I've never actually told that whole story, definitely have never written any of my adventures. Yet Buckeye was a changing moment in my life. I was already aware of the bus staring July 4, 1990 and already loved the music but here I felt what it was like to be on the bus....
I cry every time I hear "So Many Roads"! Be it live or be it DEAD recordings, I tear up every time. 123 shows with Jerry...I still miss that lovely man!
This band is greater than the sum of its parts. They will continue to sell out shows with all the amazing musicians carrying the torch. No other band could have created what GD did. Thanks for posting, stay Grateful.
My first GD show. I was 13 and my older sister scored my a ticket. We cruised down in her Mustang- top down on beautiful day. Caravaned down a bunch people from the village. Thankfully I'd been listening intently to the Dead before so I was well aware of the songs they were gonna play . It was an absolutely fantastic scene. I thing I noticed was everywhere I went someone offered me "paper" lol. My sister told before the show they'll do Drumz> Space & then melt onto either The Wheel ( which is exactly what they did) or I need Miracle and it's amazing to watch the crowd go from chill out mode to full on dancing. This gig was pretty much when I followed my bliss onto the Bus. My dad and mom were cool as sh%t they understood the importance of letting their kids travel to see concerts because my Dad used to go far and wide to see Blues & old time rock n rollers when he was young. Bless their hearts and my older sisters both who took me along to many concerts as I grew up. Now I've seen so many gigs I can look back so fondly on. Its been a hell of a ride. Buckeye Lake '93 GD and Sting opened > I was wearing pin stripped overhauls lol- still enjoying the ride in 2020 ✌🏼⚡🌹
The Buckeye shows were pretty unique. The place was so freaking huge, there was a stand of pine trees off to the side inside the venue. Good place to go and get your head together. And then it was general admission everywhere so if you wanted to really get in the soup you could wriggle your way all the way up front. Don't know any other venues where you could see the Dead like that in this era. I wouldn't say it was the best. It was kind of overwhelmingly huge. But it was fun and they played some pretty high energy shows here.
@John Smith Dude, go listen to 5/8/77 Cornell, 7/8/78 red rocks, 8/27/72 Venetta, 5/26/72 The Strand, or 5/22/77 Sportatorium, this stuff is from much earlier in their career and is truly amazing. Also, this show is one of those late 90's gems. Just keep in mind that just because one show you heard sucked, it doesn't mean that all of their shows suck because they had some nights where they were off, especially during the late 90s.
@John Smith nothing uncool about having a wife and kids and career. Btw I was just joking on first comment. The dead aren't for everybody if they were I wouldn't have been able to get tickets so I guess I should say thanks. Lol
I was 10 and at grandma and grandpas house when this was happening!!!!! We live about 5 min down the road. Can’t wait to watch!!!! Love you all Legend Valley Crew!!!
I sadly never got to see the Dead. I was in the eighth grade in 95.. But reading the comments of those that were bring me an indescribable feeling of joy! Buckeye Lake is magical!
Rent a cabin in the forest with good energy in the autumn. Do some clean doses and put on a show. They are shamans so they will take you to where you gotta go
Yup they changed my life for sure. I saw them at Saratoga Springs with the whole camping experience back in 85. Almost 40 years ago. Jerry’s death took a chuck out of my heart. I miss him and the boys terribly. 💜
i remember this show like yesterday. sleeping in strangers backyards....lotsa balloons...lotsa everything. i danced my ass off. the lazy river road...i can still hear it. i miss jerry and tour. i was fortunate to be on tour 91-94; then saw the last shows in Chicago. i feel blessed. we all should.
OMG we had that heavy gas 4 that show not that el cheapo Midwest middy The Medi Heady!We were kind to all never greedy always feedin the need in!Jerry your Kid's miss you!
A great show. they really filled up the venue that day. I saw a freak out that still gives me chills to think about, that guy was not having a good time. In a true multitude I found myself packed in a shoulder to shoulder crowd and the guy next to me was an old friend I had not seen in years. Such a good time.

I was at this show it was a 104 degrees in Ohio mind you, but not as hot as this incredible night and in particular this 12 min version of Foolish Heart ....everyone was loving it , missing you Papa!
So glad to be a witness to this event. My last show of seven since '74 in Lewiston, Maine. Grateful for life. We miss you Jerry. These gem shows never cease to amaze me. Sucked in from start to end. Pure joy/tears.
We drove out from Pittsburgh for this one, and it was the wee hours of the am when we finally go out of the lot. Drove back to Pittsburgh, showered and went directly to a work sponsored golf outing!
and there was a guy in my foursome, can't remember his name, but over and over when I lined up to hit, he would sing "Sugar Magnolia, blossoms blaming"
I have watched this concert all the way through dozens of times.Listened to it even more on audio.He's was almost gone.we feel like he left this too early but he lives more of a life than we can ever even dream of. His life is beautiful. Thanks Jerry ✌️🙂✌️
Fortunately and unfortunately I was blessed to catch about 30 shows in the 90's, always had a "real good time" so thank you! You get what you get and don't get upset! You were usually blessed with some real great moments like that So Many Roads. But it is sad to watch what was the Grateful Dead Machine at this point had become. 90's JGB was still pretty good. And well 90's Phish was fire. RIP to all those who have gone before us. Be safe out there and be kind to each other!
I couldn't agree more. For me, after Brent died, Jerry was never the same. The scene had really started changing in 87 when Touch of Grey became a radio hit. That's also when they started playing some Stadium shows every summer. I started seeing shows in 83 but really started touring in 86-90. I saw almost every show in 87, except a few of the stadium shows after I got robbed by some bikers in the lot after the JFK show. By 1990, you had as many people showing up just to make money selling Nitrous and narcotics then heads there for the music. I still saw a few shows after 1990, but went to way more JGB shows which still had the magic. I also started going to more and more Phish shows because they were just incredible between 90- 95. Unfortunately, after Jerry passed most of the leeches just switched to selling their poison on Dead tour to Phish shows. That scene got ugly much quicker. I got into SCI for a few years between 2000-2006, but until I saw JRAD in 2016 nothing touched me the way Jerry did. I love JRAD. Best music I've heard since 95 (with the exceptional smokin Phil show).
1993 saw the Vince lineup almost come together into something spectacular. There was really incredible music being played that year. This show is one of those shows. Vince found his place in the band and really started to understand how to not overplay. Absolutely a return to form. Too bad it was so short lived.
I almost drove there from Buffalo at 4am after the bar closed, probably best I did not. What a long long crazy summer for me. I hope it was for you too!
1993 ought not be underrated because Jerry Garcia's guitarring is his best ever, in terms of tone and technique. So if '93 is underrated, as you posit, that points to one sad, sad fact, and that is the the masses were not paying attention to Garcia's art. He was first & foremost a guitar player. His solos soar.
@@joeshoe6184 This a a great point that you make. I also hear the GD this way, that Brent dominates way, way too much, both his keyboard playing and his voice. Though he is good, his participation in the band is annoying for me to listen to.
@grubbetuchus I agree with Mickey Hart that the GD is a guitar band. Keyboards are secondary to me. It's strange to say, but to my ear the best GD keyboard work just disappears into the music, in service of the song. You're not thinking about who is playing keys, your thinking about how awesome the song sounds, or Jerry sounds, or the band sounds. Love it or hate it, Brent usually sticks out in the mix, for better and worse. Also I hate to be mean, but his originals are truly terrible as well, like embarrassingly bad. On their best nights I think all the keyboard guys brought something unique and special to the band, on off nights they detract from the sound. That's true for TC, Keith, Brent, Bruce and Vince.
@@joeshoe6184 100%, sort of. Brent is too much, kinda like bad ketchup. Instead of the food enhancing the presence of some good ketchup, there is no food that can fix bad catsup. His voice, his keyboard playing, his beard, and his "playing from the shoulders" is more than just meh, it's feh. Jerry's playing was the best it's ever been. Oy, if he had only gone low-carb ketovore and OMAD. He starts a guitar solo, one of the long, meandering ones, and if you are a listener who pays attention to the notes, you walk with him in his musical path, even if there's some cheesey notes. And what a walk, there's an elation that one might feel on such listening excursions, it's one of those higher joys, it's the life that is found in the joyful living. You become connected to something that words can't describe. To note, Zappa solos and some John McLaughlin solos can also bring you there.
I was at this show with a group of friends when we were attending The Ohio State University.. Such amazing memories. Best day of my summer in 1993! RIP Jerry!
Wow what a show !! Thank you for this upload ✌❤💀 And I know all the Dead Heads listening to this are feeling the same good vibes . All from different walks of life, we all feel the same love and connection ❤ Peace ✌, Love and Happiness 😊
Loved this show, I was there, great memories! So sweet to hear So Many Roads and Lazy River Road ❤️ Thanks for leaving this up so we could watch after the live broadcast. Many thanks for bringing this us 💖.
Such a good time. And being a taper with a rig..spreading tapes for over 26 yrs. What could be better? If you GET IT....this music transforms your life...your soul
253 live Grateful Dead shows before our beloved Jerry passed . I went to the gathering in Eugene, Oregon after Jerry’s passing, and rejoiced with thousands of the banks of the Willamette River.
I Just remembered I was at this show. Honestly don’t remember many shows after Brent cause it just was never the same for me. I Do remember not being able to get a hotel because NASCAR was around the some time so I drove back to PA that night. Drove till dawn and slept at a rest stop for a couple hours before making it back to NJ. Wild times.
Jerry’s solo for uncle johns band at 121:25 is hands down the greatest guitar solo I’ve ever heard and he’s impovising the entire thing. One of the best musicians on the planet
I was there and it was the last show that I was able to attend before Jerry died. Hands down the best show I have ever experienced in my life. Sting was the opener I had a religious experience that night, INCREDIBLE
The Dead. Magical,inspiring,beautiful & timeless. They mean so many different things to so many different people. They have touched us all deeply & connected us together with a feeling of love & hope for each other & our planet. I don't think there will be anything that spreads the message of love as they did. Those of us that have been to shows have the memories(or at least some of them) to help us out in rough times. So sad for those who couldn't see them but wanted to. REVOLUTION!!
WOW.. this is soo Coool..!!!. I was at this concert.! I was doing an xray machine install in Lancaster Ohio at the county hospital. I was staying at the local Holiday Inn when lots of VW vans were hanging out in the back parking lot. One of the owners told me the Dead were playing at this park.. Booom... I was there. Made my trip from the SF Bay Area so much more enjoyable..!!!
@@Daddy72899 I'd say the majority of these faces are closer to 60 than 50 by now and many of them have sadly since passed. That being said everyone at this show was living life to their fullest this day nearly 27 years ago and I think that's a really cool thought!
I remember during intermission someone asking me what song I thought they would open up the second set with..... I felt it was going to be Eyes of the World. Seven or eight people sitting around us all gave their guesses. When the Dead broke into Eyes of the World, I thought that was the coolest thing ever. So glad this concert is posted here. Thank you so much for refreshing the memories.......................
So what's up with the dead? Veteran of 364 shows and the greatest thing ever was the honor and light and life Jerry put into his music. What a scholar. I cant imagine my life without him.
This show is epic to say the least. The fact that this was captured in such a golden era is electric to the hilt. Jerry in that purple shirt, shi*! this is so weird and so great. The final evolution of the Grateful Dead, the final years, the final hoorah! "Unto a foolish heart!"
deer creek just days earlier if I'm not mistaken. would have to get stubs out to verify. believe 91. 92, 93, 94, inherited Dead vynle as kid. listened and like few classic songs never a dead head. a roommate was at one time . told me I had to go. well life changed after that...
@@benkleschinsky I am equally surprised. I rarely wander past the last Brent show in my listening so this one caught me off guard. Glad I gave it a shot because everyone is sounding GRATE.
I go back to the 70s with the Dead. Many many great shows over the years. I’m one of the old timers who also enjoys Dead & Co. today. Been to about 10 shows and always a great time. You can never replace Jerry, but Mayer is great in his own way. Outside of that obvious difference (and the age of Bobby, Billy and Mickey), the other big difference to me is the presence of the bass in their music. Phil was always front and center, loud in the mix and almost playing his own lead. Oteil’s bass is very low in the mix, sometimes even hard to find. I miss Phil’s big presence in the music.
If I remember right LOL..... Had one of my favorite concert tee's snagged right off my blanket! I believe this was the glow in the dark clown circus design.... Man i wish i had that tee....... This was my first concert with my older bro..... So many roads since then!
