"In its 1970 review of Workingman's Dead, Rolling Stone famously said of Uncle John's Band, 'Near the end of the song there is an a cappella section done by everyone, sounds like about 62 tracks, maybe 63. Just listen to it, and try not to smile..' In its live renderings, in a stadium like the Oakland Coliseum, the Dead were able to get 40,000 people to sing along with that section, and it was always a glorious release when they end with 'he's come to take his children home...' Indeed, try not to smile... This is from the penultimate show on the Dylan & The Dead tour." - David Lemieux

For many of us who were regularly attending shows in the Eighties, 1987 was an important time. Throughout 84-86, Garcia's drug use left him looking almost lifeless on the stage (even though he still unleashed some really great playing from time to time) and most everyone was very concerned about his well-being. After healing from the coma in 86, he often sprang to life on the stage (take a look at a video from 85 and compare it to this video from 87). He smiled, rocked, and swayed and occasionally even sort of danced. It was such a pleasure to see him return to being animated. It was, in my humble opinion, the beginning of the road that led to some very fine performances in 89 and 90 (and 91). I attended this show and have very fond memories of it (and I bought the DVD release many years ago). The "Jack Straw" opener that day was especially stellar. The Dylan set was sometimes great, other times a little confusing (mostly because Dylan often chose to holler-mumble his amazing lyrics; that said, the band backed him up quite well-- and it was a pleasure to see Jerry play pedal steel on "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight."). I will admit that I think the band was strongest and most inventive from 69-77 (my fave year being 72), but seeing them in concert in the 80's (and 90-91) was often a great pleasure-- and they still often played some great, great music. RIP Mr. Hunter ... thanks for SO many great songs ...

72 was a great year. Workingmans Dead, American Beauty and Jerry's solo album Garcia all came out that year. All my favorites. Absolutely stellar! I just wish I was alive to experience it but my mom was only 12 in 1972.

While writing a book about a bunch of psychedelic synchronistic events that occurred during the mid to late 80s, I wrote a passage that I felt was very Uncle John's Band-esque, I thought about how it reminded me of a verse in Uncle John's Band, I mused over it to myself.... & that moment my phone chimed a KZfaq recommended videos from my GratefulDead channel subscription... Uncle John's Band. "Well, God Damn, I declare...have U seen the light?!... He's come to take his children home! Inspiration! Move me brightly, like a song of scents and colors...... More than this I will not ask, faced with mystery dark & vast, statements just seemed vain at last... (~);}

I remember in 1987 I was 17 and despised the Dead. They were old, slow, and that "hit" Touch of Grey was awful (still is). I was angry, occasionally violent, and gravitated toward punk and grunge. Now I finally see the light -- in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
