Seeing that peace sign in the sky immediately brought back that parking lot memory for me. A few hours before the first show, was walking between the golf course and the stadium lot and we look up to this giant peace sign over everyone. I got a free ticket basically exactly where that girl got hers too. And the rainbow at the end while playing Brokedown Palace....whoa. What am amazing time and place....I'll never forget.

OMG, man these heads look gnarly. I love and will always love the Grateful Dead and their fans, the Heads. I am a proud Deadhead. First show 1994.

going to Dead SHOWS WAS LIKE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY , music dancing and magic

Just more proof that you can never replicate what has already happened.

The music NEVER stops

The Grateful Dead are celebrating their 50th anniversary and returned to their roots for a pair of hometown Bay Area shows in Santa Clara, California. Rolling Stone visited the parking lot to survey the scene.

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl in 1972.

ROLLING STONE BLOWS!

I was there both nights, sounded great, so much fun, great experience and a perfect last Grateful Dead adventure in my life. Been going to shows since 84', this one was good for the soul.

groovy man..i get high watching these people and all the love they have man....

1st show was Englishtown NJ 1977 , 40 yrs ... 9/3/17🍻🍀🥃

I’ve Never missed Parking Lots so Much

Just us kids in the parking lot Out here givin' it all we got We don't want to get old and die And there ain't nothing we wouldn't try Just us kids hangin' out today Watchin' our long hair turnin' gray Not so skinny maybe not so free Not so many as we used to be" James McMurtry

at first I thought the guy at 2:28 was Tommy Chong until they showed who was actually speaking

My first was 1974 and talked with Jerry at the hotel in Philadelphia. Peace to all. The captain tried.

why are peoole so mad at young heads for rejecting the materialistic culture mainstream new age music tries to force unto them. i think older heads should be happy as its an opportunity to share your vast dead knowledge and love for the music.

I in my 50s now, Jerry has been gone 23 years. Damn, time is just a trip in the blink of an eye.

i held my breath watching this

All the way from the UK to a handful of grass from the backpack of the "there's never been a show like this man", thanks again geezer. :)

Got on the bus in 92 and felt like I was home like the head was referring to. Didn't ever want to get off after that.

More power to em.

I was there sitting across the street on top of a parking lot . It sounded good .

finding the way home.

First show Rainbow Theatre Finsbury Park London 1981

When your self worth is wrapped up in how many shows you’ve been to and if you’ve seen Jerry or not, that’s a bit sad.

Feel like these people just dressed up for the interview

Fuckin cool vibes...Wish I was there. Damn

Oooh I was at this show! 🌹🌈✨

Band didn’t want you all there in the lot, “believe it or not”.

HELL YEAH!

Garcia was probably happy to get away from this in 1995.

Highgate Vermont Jerry late 90s

0:59 math is hard..

Now we are joining to have a movie about Jerry Garcia! I'm looking forward to seeing it, so and sister's on Maui. I'll pay your ways into the movie. That how much I looking forward to it coming out.... I love you all

familey together. lost sheep alone.

this whole culture around the Dead is so goofy. Thank god we have the records.

Them parking lots did become home. I miss and love each and everyone that would remember me from 88 - 94 It's your brother Puck! I miss my family, so come to Maui that where I would more family in one spot and we all get together every Friday and Sunday. Goggle party on Little Beach on Maui Drum cycle fire dancing all on a nude beach. I wear my clothes unless I'm swim Check it out because it the closest place to the show as I've been able to find. GDF is Built To Last and NFA (~)};=/

Live streams???

Saw dead first time July 1988 Sullivan stadium Boston.

wookies yo

i just bought this outfit at forever 21 and i cant wait for Casey jones

Grateful Dead died with Jerry. They should have kept calling it The Other Ones.

And the moral of this story is "stay in school."

I want to go home. ✌

Crazy how egotistical people are being by saying that all the young people who show up to the cover shows are posers.

It was my first show but not my last

I tried to get tix and failed.saw my first GD show in 84 when I was 14. (Rochester,ny) I was younger than the 2 sexy blonde girls when I first saw Jerry. But while fare the well was happening in Chicago, I was having a wonderful day with my wife at the Tragically Hip show in Canadaigua NY,at CMAC,

how many WOOKS?

RIGHT AND WHO IS THAT CREEPY CHIC AT THE INTRO WITH THAT KID. CREEPY

That's funny I had been seeing the Grateful Dead much longer than these folks and frankly look like could Be their daughter. My secret? 6 hours a day dead or Jerry band. Kept me young, spun, and filthy rich.

christ....its gone to shit with Jerry gone.

This is the shit that makes real deadheads look bad

Y'all Cray 😜

Me at 1:07 dread heads are deadheads

kool.....but my jgb and Jerry dead tour shows far better. jerry forever now jamming with pig pen and Brent there's a show.

Weir Everywhere 😎✌️

People were just there to be "cool." I feel like they don't know "Terrapin Station" or any of the songs that aren't always played

some of the kids are posers prolly couldnt even tell u 1 dead album name... or even song.

Q: What do Deadheads say when the drugs wear off? A: What is this terrible music?

Too bad this was a weak rendition of the real thing. If you missed it you didnt.

Money grab

It's like the grateful dead only it fucking sucks

The Grateful Dead ceased to exist on August 9, 1995. If you disagree, you are wrong. This isnt an opinion, its a fact.

Real glad I didn't see any of these people when I was there

This was not a Grateful Dead show. The last Grateful Dead show was in 1995. This was a money grab, the music was awful, the whole thing was just wrong and the lot was just posers

"Saw Jerry in 1994 in Denver"- that's it? Really? You didn't go to California after that? Just one night? You look plenty old enough to have gone yourself so why didn't you? It's not enough to see a show at a cattle barn with horrible acoustics/ why not go on to the Pulpit? Makes no sense. Where do you dig these people up Rolling Stone? There are plenty of people who have seen hundreds of shows. Oh. Yeah. Like me they were at Church communing with Garcia- not at this dog and pony show

there are dead heads now whose grandparents were heads. Too bad that the culture is dead and those younger heads who get it will never get to experience how real, vibrant, microcosmic of the world, and anarchistic it was. Kids today have a romanticism version, it was violent and dangerous along with the love; again a microcosm of the world. The rainbow culture has turned to shit too. i guess every generation has that old man bitching about how great it use to be but damit it is my turn now. I toured with jerry and the boys for years and watched it decline like rome but I never thought it would get this bad. tthe scene in general not as depicted in this vid. It is now mainstream and us freaks are left looking around like ; why are all these people we have been avoiding for years everywhere on shakedown st". Again, it is my turn to rant and I dont care about its lack of coherancy, I like being all over the place. Anyway, the scene is dead and we cant hide in the woods with the rainbows because that is dead too. Im more sad today than when jerry died because as long as the culture surronding the dead lived so did a piece of him. I saw a vouge article giving advice about how one should dress on tour. Picking out a tour wardrobe is so rediculous I cant even begin to describe my disgust. We toured on dolla grill cheese and 2 dolla hits of L. And we shared it all. How do cell phone cams work on shakedown st? Do these kids film the incriminating events that go on there? This is not a " in my day it was so much better" rant.
