I did as well and yet I'm still here revisiting this one. The music will never stop but yeah, damn I'm gonna miss this band playing music together.

@@MScal0316 100%. This last tour was truly incredible. It was in comparison to Grateful Dead’s 1977 for sure. I was more mindblown each show.

@@Shamelesspatriot1776agreed. I was at the atlanta show on 5/28. it was amazing

Dan DeSimone there's a grateful dead sub too!

know the feeling happened to me in 67

:). Welcome, friend

dude, listen to Live in Europe, 1972

Welcome to the dead

what are the other times? I’ve been dying to compare this to others he’s led on

The vibe of freedom in the audience is the empowering aspect of everything GD, may it continue forever!

That’s a cool way to think about it.

The music never stopped! Happy trails brotha.....

I agree. They did a great version on terrapin😊 that night

sort of love it? Bob, throughout the years, has profited from those who are better than him. But he never admits it. He waxes philosophical. But he never speaks truly about what must be a deep insecurity. In the true sense of the word, he is a philistine. Without Jerry, he is nothing. Without Tre, he is nothing. And now without John, he is still nothing. Bob Weir a mentor looking over pupils? To call Tre A and John M his pupils or even advisees would be absurd. Just listen to rat dog. Or the Midnites. Or whatever he's been a part of when you can actually hear his guitar. The great mystery is why Jerry and Phil stuck by him all those years. If I were a journalist and could have asked Jerry one question, I think that would have been it. Why, why did you play with Bob Weir for all those years? Such a mystery to me.

chubspeterson29 the Dead is a great excuse to make money on something that has been better. There is litteraly nothing Bob or any other original member has to do to draw crowds. I could have stated that Bob is the heart and mind or the financial director who calls the shots. So yeah, i sort pf love it the way it looks and the way i stated above. Becausw there are probably as many reasons not to do it as there are to play as the Dead. John Mayer is someone who can play the songs and brings something of his own to the mix. The other guitarist they had tried to sound like Jerry, which is obviously something they did not want. On the other hand you can state that Mayer is a way to atttavk a younger audience to the music and make even more money on it, but lets not see it that way and leave rhe business of all parties in the dark and just enjoy it while they're doing it and a way to let the Dead live on

But more like an answer to your message: i dont think Weir is a great musician. I think he is great in complementing the players that lead the music, but when he has to fill those parts himself he is most likely to fail . On the other hand he has a complete unique way of filling those gaps, but only works with the Dead/Garcia/the notes of... i hope you sort of get what im aiming at and excuse my little sourish comment above (tho in my eyes not completely untrue if you leave the romantic part of it put of the observation)

@@chubspeterson29 talking crap

And Brokedown Palace

100%

Good thing Bob decided to take this one every show after this 😭😭😭😭 cmon Bobby

He’s a Deadhead officially

This! 100 times this! There are a lot of songs that Bobby should be giving up

John crushes this. I will say though. bob seems to be on point too. he looks healthy and energetic and sometimes his singing really surprises me. btw-i love the first grade teacher (Mayer fan) that clearly doesn't know the lyrics. she is kind of hot too.

melonhead34 & michael YES YES YES!

it's a no brainer.. bobby's singing has gotten uncomfortable.. there's just a couple songs that he should still be singing, this definitely isnt one of them

Hands down my favorite Dead song and John definitely didn't disappoint! I do believe Jerry would approve!

Righteous

Me too. My one and only Dead Show. Loved it and spent Sunday in parking lot.

Me too great show , got backstage to talk to Phil and jerry

Jason Schmale he's one of the most underrated artists of his generation.

davidaguirre89 ......now we all can say that for sure!

Mayer is without a doubt the best fit for that group and much better than anyone else they've had in that spot. I love Phish and I think Trey is a genius but he didn't do it for me. Mayer has the soul in his voice and his fingertips which make him a perfect fit for this setup. I'm sure there are peeps out there that have seen hundreds of Dead shows that hate this setup more than anything. I only saw 2 real Dead shows which happened to be the last 2 but I've seen every reincarnation they've put together since and this lineup is killer. I've seen some mind blowing performances by Phish and I never thought I'd be moved like that by any other band until I saw these guys for the 3rd time at Wrigley a few mths ago. They killed it and had gotten so much better than the last time I saw them. My point is simple...... we still have this music. I can still see a show that gets me going containing the music I grew to love and has ended up being a huge part of my life. And, they guys playing are having a good time doing it which makes a huge difference. I saw F,urther at Locken a few yrs back and from what I saw and heard Bobby was bored and unsatisfied with what they were doing. In comes John and now you see 3 of the original lineup having a good time and 3 other guys up there probably thinking how the fuck did I end up here? Either way Mayer is the best thing that happened to the music I love because the music is alive and well and you can actually go see a live performance and get chills like I did at Wrigley. As much as people want to hate on the guy I bet that Jerry would have loved playing with the guy.

@@andrewwelch976 Exactly! His soulful expression in his voice, adds something new to the Dead's catalogue. Good news- I think he will be playing the GD's songs for a long time, yeah!

I've been listening to Johnny boy since his fresh faced pop days back in the early 00's thanks to my wife. John has always been an amazing artist. His albums Battle Studies, Continuum, and his newest album Sob Rock, are just excellent. I'm so glad he joined the Dead

There’s absolutely no doubt about that. This song was written specifically for Jerry. I feel like they are honoring Jerry whenever it’s sung. I cry when Bobby sings it and I feel like John is honored to sing it and does so with respect

Harris i think this past summer with his new purple guitar made a big difference

I absolutely love this version, but you are correct. John needs to stretch out The “Standing on The (slight pause)Moon” part. If he did that it would make this cover a masterpiece. Beautiful love song.

@@aceross4177 it's really just that he isn't Jerry. But I definitely love this version.

Defenitly
