I was there with my beloved Jane along with some very dear friends. Jane passed away five years ago and watching and hearing this brings back all my wonderful memories of her. She was the love of my life and I miss her dearly. God bless you my dear wife! I pray she is hearing this in heaven!!

listening to this band for more than 50 years I am now 74 and still trucking

I'm 33 and listen to these guys almost every day. They've saved me through some dark times.

I have been a musician almost all my life and I just recently turned 70. I don't know why I paid no attention to these guys in the past but I'm making up for lost time. I listen to them daily both at work and at home and in the car. I just can't get enough. I love to improvise and this is the kind of band I wish I could have been in for all these years. I know it's not too late as long as I'm on this side of the soil and I'm now going to look to put together a GD tribute band. Wish me luck.

I was at that show. It's worth being old now to have been young then!

I was trucker in 1980 and drove for almost 36 hours straight so I could get home in time for a Dead concert. My roommate had bought an entire row of tickets and I got to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta just in time for the show. My friends knew how tired I was and gave me 3 little pictures of Snoopy the dog to pep me up. Still, I promptly fell asleep and didn't wake up until the encore. But man!...The dreams I had! The long version of Sugar Magnolia was great too. Thanks Jerry and crew for the great music...and dreams.

So many Sunday mornings I'd cue up a show and Mary would wake up then I told her close her eyes and just listen. We had a good 38 years and now she's gone always in my heart but never coming back...

There's nothing quite like a Philadelphia Dead show. LET IT SHINE...and leave it on!

Watching these guys brings tears to my eyes. It’s magical.

Brent was so amazing in retrospect. When I was young and on acid, I just paid attention to certain things at shows. Now looking on KZfaq of the shows I was at, Brent was a big part of the positive energy given to the rest of the band. R.I.P Brent

33 years ago today. Lost some dear friends along the way as I'm sure you all have since this night. I hope this finds you all well. Much love.

turned 75 today, still love Jerry and the Dead, still love the things I loved then.

It's amazing that a band (with THAT lineup) has been gone for so long now, but we keep listening and commenting in such numbers... I miss The Grateful Dead so much it's a permanent ache inside my heart and soul... God, to stand at the front of that stage and see Jerry looking right at me with a huge smile and a look of such bliss on his face. I know it wasn't ALWAYS like that for him (or for anyone)... I know he suffered terribly for a very long time, and in that, I'm glad he's free... He certainly brought so much joy and happiness to so many for so long, and I know that it took EVERYONE in that band, to BE that band... It wasn't JUST Jerry... In fact, it wasn't REALLY Jerry's band... Bob became the musical director of The Grateful Dead in the mid 1970's... But in many ways they were a band that belonged to everyone!!! No matter what anyone believes it doesn't change how much I miss them! Someone early on said something to the effect of, it's worth being old now just to have been young then. I sort of agree with that! I do feel blessed to see all the amazing bands and artists I've seen over the years, but it's difficult for me that the majority of those bands and artists are gone now... Or WELL past their peak. It occurred to me the other day that we could easily lose the great Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr in this decade... It made me realize that I really don't want to live in a world where there are no remaining members of The Beatles alive anymore. How foreign and empty that world will be! I'm ten years younger than Sir Paul, but part of me truly hopes I'm taken BEFORE him! Sorry to sound so bleak... It's been a hard year... Hell, it's been a hard life! Thank God for these recordings! They allow my heroes to still sort of inhabit a world they're not really in anymore! As always, ✌🏼 & ❤️ 2the 🌎🌍!

Met my wife of 30 years at this show.

Damn, Brent always squeezed every last drop of his life force and poured it into each tune.

The interaction between Jerry and Brent.... PRICELESS

I was there..on my 18th bday..amazing experience..the video doesnt do it justice..that stadium was HUGE and packed... "Fire on the Mountain" after the sun went down and the lighters came out was pure magic

Listening to this after a long day of studying and stressing about midterm exams... These guys are a foolproof anxiety attack cure!!

By far the absolute best Blow Away ever, because every time I hear it I am blown away I miss Brent I miss Jerry I miss all the shows

Their sets and the amount of time performed on stage per show is truly amazing.

Why does this make me cry over and over? Its so joyful to my soul. I am so glad to have lived the same time as Jerry

This was my first show. I had never felt real live music magic before!!

If this makes any sense... the Grateful Dead make me feel better about growing older.

Seeing Jerry enjoying this gig so much is truly heart warming. You want to think he was digging these moments and not just haunted by his probs.

It's all kind of a blur but I'm pretty positive I was at this show. Lol. "So many shows, so little time" was my motto back then. A lifetime of the Dead isn't near enough. I'm sure I've been a Dead Head in other lifetimes, dimensions and realms. Just always felt right at home at shows. Didn't matter the state, nor the city. Always at home. My kind of people. My kind of crowd. And, thankfully, the music never died. RIP Jerry and Brent. It's been such a long, strange trip and I've loved every minute of it! Thanks for so many years of such exceptional music, boys! Keep them coming, please!

Nothing left to do but smile smile smile. RIP Pig Pin, Jerry, Keith, Brent, Vince, Barlow and Hunter! NFA 65_95

Greatest band ever

I was at this show (and have it on DVD)...and I still have the ticket stub...section ER, Row 47, Seat 13. I have great memories of this night! Good times!

This is my Grateful Dead. I saw my first show in April of '87 and dropped off sometime after Vince Welnick joined. I didn't get as far as JFK, but probably saw them a few times within a week or two of this date. This is like seeing old friends. "Such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there."

I was at this concert! It was phenomenal! The musicality of Bobby, Jerry, Phil, Brent, Bill, and Mickey carries on and on. A group of us crazy kids got there early to be at the front of the stage for Bruce Hornsby and the Range and then the first set. For the second set we walked around the field and found seats far away in the stands. It was the last event for JFK Stadium. Practice music! Practice peace!

this show is pure fire - one of the best shows of 1989, and that's saying alot.

I was there, after hitchhiking up from DC and getting a face-value ticket about 10 minutes after arriving ... one of the best shows I ever saw.

I was there and I still remember like it was yesterday! Still get chills down my back during Blow Away.

Cool. I love hearing Standing on the Moon, Jerry always nails it and his voice in these last years was perfect for this song. They only played it 50 times!

Jerry and Brent, rest in peace and so much gratefulness for the amazing music

Love the way Jerry goes over and plays in front of Brent, how respectful!!

Lot of people talk about their "desert island show," and how it's nearly impossible to really choose one. I honestly think this one is it for me, if I had to say. So much raw emotion start to finish, and Brent is just on absolute fire the whole way. First set is his. Jerry just loving it. Nobody captured the human experience quite like the Dead could, and this whole show does it beautifully. NFA

I get goosebumps looking at the crowd! Not a care in the world back in the day! Sweet memories!

I'm so glad this whole show is finally on youtube, best show of the late Brent era imo

Box of Rain literally brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons.

I didn’t realize the full magnitude of how profound the Dead were until I got sober. Man! Their music sober blooms, bubbles and bursts with pure, unbounded joy. No band like will there ever be. Blessing to Bob and the rest for continuing on. 💀⚡️🌹

I was on this trip about 10 rows back.....tripping balls. Epic show

I was born on this very day only a few hundred miles north!! What a show and what a beautiful day in Philly. Thank you, youtube for throwing this one my way :) Grateful for the ride.

Pure magic, unlike any other, the likes of which we’ll not see again. Thank the Gods for recorded and filmed music. We still get to enjoy the memories and their gifts for time immemorial. We were beyond blessed to have them while we did. If you’re not moved and smiling by these performances, you’re wasting oxygen for the rest of us.

This brings back years of sooo many happy memories! Miss you Jerry and Brent ❤❤...

I've forgotten to appreciate the little things about a Grateful Dead show: those minutes in between the time they took the stage and the time the first song started, listening to their noodling and figuring out what they were going to open with by what key they were messing around in. The anticipation was amazing and I miss it.

Man, the solo in Ramble on Rose at about the 29 minute mark is just perfection. It's more than wonderfully melodic, it feels like a journey. As a life long guitarist, I put Jerry at the top. Above Hendrix, Clapton... all of them. Not just technical skill, but his sense of melody infuses everything. Nothing, and no one, can compare. While he is certainly well regarded amongst guitarists, I don't feel he is given his proper due. Rest in music, fat man. I sure you miss you.

I was there. DC and Boston were fire shows to. All of 89 was epic.

Well, What A Long Strange Trip It's Been, Indeed! I have lived in the Philly area for most of my life, and this was one of most important events at that time! The JFK stadium was packed! And, of course, it was hot! But so was this performance! Uniquely beautiful in that way that only the Grateful Dead could create! God Bless the Grateful Dead!

They were on! You can actually here Bobby's guitar too! Yay! 🔥⚡

Back to back scorcher of streamed shows 🔥 I love it! Brent's Blow Away absolutely levitates the place! ❤

I met Jerry Garcia backstage at this show. We hit it off and he offered to mentor me in my guitar playing pilgrimage. We became very close and he confided many of his deepest thoughts with me. Miss him very much!!! RIP Jerry my dear friend!!!

Man, Brent's performance of Blow Away is just killer! Always loved that cat, brought a lot of heart to the band, and was a phenomenal artist and addition to the band. His performance here move me to tears. Miss him and Jerry so much sometimes. Great show!

cant stop listening to this show its so damn good. stay grateful stay blessed stay holy and high

The Grateful Dead is the spiritual fountain of youth.....

I'd like to add this is the pinnacle of Jerry/Brent. It was absolute magic. God rest ye merry gentlemen

this really soothes my troubled soul. ❤️

man, Bobby's shorts warrant a PG-13 rating

I was at this concert. The last concert at JFK Stadium before it was torn down.

I was born 4 years after the Jerry died and the grateful dead was no more. How I wish I got to be a part of this... At least we have this amazing catalouge of their live performances. Didnt even get around to seeing Dead and company. You old dead heads are lucky!!!

Being in that audience jamming with the real grateful Dead there's no feeling like it folks

This is the show that changed my entire world… and wrote my future in lyrics with musical accompaniment.. that will never be duplicated nor comprised. My heart is pure and true ⚡️❤️⚡️

I miss Jerry Garcia's face,music+his amazing ❤️ he shared with all fans!I I know I'll see him in heaven I wish he knew how life was so much better,just by him being in it!!!

such a great show, I never tire of this one!!! boy, do I miss Jerry and Brent!!! we are so incredibly lucky to have so much fantastic material from 30 years of their brilliance!!!👌👍✌😁

It's great seeing the looks that Jerry gives when he's checking to see if everyone is ready to start.

Great recording and mix,you hear all the boys perfectly, and so in the pocket. Always nice when all vocals are top notch

They were clicking on all cylinders this Summer Tour. Summer ‘89 though Spring ‘90 was one heckuva run. Losing Brent was such a blow.

Thanks ,to Craig Robert's, and Jim Thompkins. They introduced me to an amazing experience called The Grateful Dead, all the way back in 1977. Baltimore Civic Center. That was one of the most unforgettable evenings that I have ever had the pleasure of partaking of. It will always be one of those highlights of my life. WISH YOU BOTH WELL. YOU TOO Marshall!!!! Those were great days to be young.

I too was there! Someone had told me that they were filming that day. I had not known it then and now all these years later I get to see this. Thanks to KZfaq.

i was at this show and i watched it 5 times since it was first put out on youtube it just keep getting better

I hate to see that there aren't many young people in these comments especially since this really is my favorite grateful dead sound. I am 20

Jerry smiled when he saw Brent rocking lil' red rooster. That look when Jerry nodded Blow Away was priceless! Great Show!

Went to Foxboro on Harley with girlfriend, went to Buffalo cuz we had a blast at Foxboro, got arrested at Niagra Falls with a bunch of other deadheads for going too close to falls, got bailed out by deadheads who convinced us to, "Come to Philly", which turned into going all the way to the west coast and back, up and down coasts with new friends seeing this band. Thanks Grateful Dead.

87-90 the Fire years! My first show was Hartford 88. Last one Buffalo 90. The energy, the tightness and overall vibe of the lots and scene for me, was the times of my life. Never forget those days. Well forgot some of it!🤣

I like that you can actually hear Bobby in this mix, and his tone is actually really good! Not tinny at all. Bouncy, airy, vibrant. Phil laying down the bottom end with that casual magnificence like a guiding. And yeah, you can Jerry is very much "on" here, enjoying himself, engaged, and ripping happily throughout.

Brent’s performance on Blow Away @1:02:30 gives me the chills every time. I watched it 7 times today. The emotion they all play with is unmatched. This is the greatest thing I ever got to see. I could Imagine being there and witnessing these gods. Thank you Grateful Dead.

My very first grateful Dead concert the tickets were given to me and my best friend Chris bartolomeo from his stepdad George Daugherty I believe thank you everybody for putting me on 32 shows with Jerry God bless the grateful Dead

This show was one of the best times of my life.

Phil with T-shirt tucked into sweatpants. Gawd, I love these guys.

FIRST DEAD SHOW; Arrived the day before, tried n2o for the first time. Had a trip, (only 1) and went barefoot till clear after the show the following night. Really fun, there was a pool opened to us across from the venue so that was extra sweet...🇺🇲

The live sound quality here is amazing

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the distraction.

The Blow away was freakin epic..Brent was sooooooo passionate

My late father kept me from this 4 night run, b/c i would miss a soccer game. And with honesty with a person that was an addict of multiple types, but still family. I like to look this as a view of heaven, but i stayed with Dad. No regrets..but man i would have loved to see those shows ;) So glad i can watch them.

Not often do I hear a board with Bobbys guitar out in front of the mix .... the guy was a genius of layering his chords into Jerrys leads ... this is refreshing and a great show to boot.

1:31:29. I never watch Phil enough but look at how soulfully he hits that deep note. Phil was absolutely not just going through the motions.

Just seeing Jerry vibe with Brent like that really feeds my soul.

Just a nice solid first set. Then Brent decides to set off a block buster Blow Away. Forcing everyne to kick into overdrive and launch every other song into the stratisphere! Well done!

This is how you put on a concert, what an era.

I love to see Jerry and Brent just smile smile smile!

Jerry looking at Brent towards the end of blow away is like when your friend is doing something so fucking impressively ridiculous that you just realize that they're insane and also a genius

I was at this show I can't ever forget it I waited in line for tickets

Awesome show…. I was there…!! 21 years old….✌️
