I saw the Dead many times during the "Brent years". On an off-night they were still pretty good, on a great night they were beyond description. This jam right here is the epitome of The Dead, there will never be another. Forever grateful I got to witness this band.

This was the best "Deal" I have ever heard or seen in person. God, they were amazing. I'm so happy I'm so old at 64 that I've been a deadhead for so many years. And it's nothing but good, and good Karma. And thanks to Robert Hunter for the lyrics which are really a cautionary poem that says don't just act based on the cards you think the other player has..

Icon O'Clast Hunter and Garcia together again. God Bless them Both. Was lucky enough to see the Dead around this time in the Old Boston Gahden and a few times before and after. Was extremely lucky to have seen Robert Hunter in Boston as well. All by himself, one guitar and a mike strapped to his head. Sang everything from Box of Rain to Terrapin Station. Will never ever forget that one.

I first saw the Dead play in 1970- 50 years ago. I thought they were great then. Saw them at Rochester when the Jefferson Airplane came by- they were also playing in Rochester. Somehow got onto the end of the stage . Unfortunately as I grew older I stepped back from the Dead . Last time I saw them was in Boston back in late ‘70’ s. Watching this video I realize just how much I missed- especially when Brent became the keyboard man. I agree I never heard them play so damn good as they did in this and other videos from the late ‘80’s. Big Regret. Have a bumper sticker which reads “Make America Grateful Again”. If that could only be possible.

I think this performance might perfectly sum up the Grateful Dead. Starts out a little sloppy and settles into what is a serviceable performance of a classic. But Jerry wanted more and takes the song to its limits (while also pushing the band to their limits). The magic of this band was that any night, any song could yield a legendary performance for the ages. If you don't believe me, just look at the band's faces.

I watched Loser first, then it went right into Deal as I was putting the finishing touches on a 60-page article I was writing on the lessons I learned through the years from the Dead. It doesn't get any better than this. Loser: so sad and melancholy but ultimately defiant, and Deal takes us to the place all tne other commenters described - soaring into the stratosphere, in perfect sync. Nothing has been even close to the Dead in 75 years of rock 'n roll. And this was the final good era of a wise and healthy Garcia. Did you see the look on his face? He knew how tough he made it on himself. This was the golden era from '89-'92, and that's when it began to decline again ....by the time they got to Chicago in Summer '95, it was hard to watch in many ways. But damn, they give us the moon on this one -- I feel like I was reborn.
