Sorry to hear you were homeless. I drove a city bus for 9 years in Phoenix and developed a soft spot for the homeless that nobody will do anything about. Because there is no money in it for them. There are more homeless than one can imagine. You just do not see it, unless you are in it like I was with the bus. Never turned away a single one. Especially to and from the soup kitchen. Most of us are on tragedy away from it. Very scary. Glad you climbed out somehow.

I can't handle this. It's too sad. Jerry.. we miss you so much!

Jerry's noodling always gets me right in the feels. Excuse me, I got dust in my eye.

It's like my dad singing to me. Right. Every time I see this I tear up. Who'd have thought we'd never see Papa Bear again.

I was there. This was great! When Jerry calls out, "Lord"...... :( I will never forget it! "Lord I've been walking down that road." Goose bumps.

You know I’ve specifically not watched this footage after seeing it come up in my feed a few times cause I didn’t think I could handle it. I was right. It got me.

I was at the riverport shows right before soldier field. I remember Liberty encore on the last night. They played a bunch of late hunter tunes that summer. I remember seeing Jerry look like the wizard like you described. I had followed the dead for years at that point and I walked out of that amphitheater knowing, for some strange reason, this would be the last time I saw Jerry. I said goodbye leaving that night. Magnificent career and musician.

For a lot of us on tour then, this was the end of those roads we were traveling. I made it to Deer Creek that summer tour , gave my Soldier Field tickets to my friend and headed back east where I was living at the time. My friend was set on seeing every show because somehow he knew Jerry would be leaving us. He just felt it. I thought I would just pick up on winter tour and life would be the same......I was wrong. Man , was I wrong. Life has never been the same.

This song chokes me up every time..... especially when he's digging into those so many so many roads toward the end and everyone in the crowd cheers after each word

That intro walk up is one of my favorite licks of all time, really hard listening to this without shedding a tear

This song brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Hope you'll do more reaction video's in the future and please consider doing a lesson on this song. Certainly one of my favorites as well. I only had the chance to see Jerry and Grateful Dead once on April 4, 1995 the first of two nights in Birmingham, Alabama. I wasn't real familiar with them other than the songs that were always played on local radio, but on a whim my roommates at the time and I decided to go check them out and see why people followed them from town to town. While many long time deadheads consider those 2 nights some of the worse shows, for me it was a magical night. It was such a complete different vibe from all other concerts I had been to and the hippies were great. My roommates didn't dig it as much as I did but I felt like I had finally found my people. The next day I went out and bought One From The Vault, Dead Set, American Beauty and Workingman's Dead based on the recommendation of the store clerk. I think my roommates got a little aggravated when all I wanted to listen to after that night was Grateful Dead.

Bro I miss Jerry so much and everything that he brought to my life and millions of other lives. He truly was a modern day Renaissance man, he made me smile he made me laugh and he made me wonder but most of all he taught me to love. Thanks Davey, be safe my brother peace. 😎✌🤪💨💨💨🌅🌈🌌🌉🐢🐻

I was at that show. Totally awesome

His last concert... five years exactly before the day I was born. My dad was there. Seems like a cosmic coincidence.

Last set of the last show. How sadly fitting. It's almost like Free Bird. Like he was saying goodbye.

Love your passion. Thanks.

Had to come back to this today 27 years after it was performed... this version was one of the 1st dead songs I ever heard over 3 years ago when my dad randomly put on the grateful dead satellite station... to say it changed my life is an understatement.

I love all of your lesson videos, but I think this is your best video. It was great to see how much this song means to you, and how Music can create so much emotion for us all.

Hey davvy, really enjoyed this one. these reaction type videos are really interesting would love to see them back in the future.

For some reason, this tune was never on my radar before. Now I’m totally into it, thanks! The way you shared your love for this - excellent! Subscribed ✅⭐️❤️

Thanks for this, man. Such a sweet moment.

Beautiful stuff Davvy! Great one

Dude! Love your channel. You da man. A stone cold 'head to the bone. Thank you for sharing your awesome, sincere honest self. "So Many Roads" has always been a personal favorite and the on from 3-25-1993, Chapel Hill, NC is the best I've heard yet. One of my top 5 all time performances!

Your videos are great man. You always bring a smile to my face

Thanks for the cry Davvy. Beautiful stuff. I appreciate it.

I absolutely love the dead but listening 93-95 makes me almost cry man, love the energy see ya Saturday

Great video, Davvy, love it. Love all you do. Really appreciate your love, dedication, humor, talent, and kindness. This song and “Days Between” are two songs from the final years that never fail to move me. Just beautiful. I had the good fortune to catch a few dozen Dead shows in the 80s, and saw a handful in the 90s, as well as some JGB shows and a Bobby show when he toured with Rob Wasserman in the early 90s. I caught my final Dead show in summer of ‘93. Soldier Field, so just about two years before this show. I probably just hadn’t been in the wrong place at the right time before, but it was the first and only show where I saw a heroin overdose. I have to admit, it haunted me for quite a while. Still kind of does. But the band sounded good and put on some great shows that summer. Jerry seemed better - healthier - than he was in ‘95. Everyone who saw him had the same reaction you did, Davvy. They could see it. They knew he was using again, hard, and it was bittersweet that last summer. Such a paradox when news of his death broke. No one was all that surprised but everyone was still shocked and it cut deep. Thanks for keeping the incredible creativity and art of this band alive and fun!

The tears came when the Stealie showed on the screen. S.O.B. But I needed it.

He left it all out there that night

Hey man, absolutely loved this! Your analysis really helped me relate do this in a new way, definitely “seeing me through” this season of my life man. Love this channel and especially this new format you’re doing. Anyway, I’d be too humble for my own good if I didn’t throw in a suggestion lol your take on “Jack Straw”or “Comes a Time” would be neat, but honesty any road ya pick will turn the wheel as it should! Much love man!

Hey Bob!!...Dave!!.....makes many feel wonderous , in So Many Ways!!!...We r So Amazed that Some of u young lads have found ur way all the way thru till today , by honesty and feeling!!!.... Great ears by the way!!.... The feeling comes from the honesty in the man , and his music! Keep up the good work kid!!!.. Ur going places!!

My dad was at this show in 95, he went to a bunch around this time period it was all sold out but he had my aunt who was a senior in hs go to the Ticketmaster and buy 8 tickets for every night somehow and they went with her to her first dead shows, now they go to all the Chicago dead and co shows, and he’s taking me to the one next month in Chicago, my first dead show as an adult, we used to go to gathering of the vibes every year from like 07-2011 and I loved it as a kid.I was luckily raised on the dead, and as a guitarist I’m glad I was.

Nice solo accents bro. Yes he was in rough shape by then but still managed to sprinkle in gold and gems right up to the end.

Sow many rose❤

Thankyou 🇳🇿☮️✌️😭

chills

Nice playing. I've always loved this version, and some of the others from earlier when Jerry wasn't having quite so much trouble.

thought I heard a blackbird singing up on bluebird hill. one of my all time favorite lyrics

I always took “If you don’t, who else will” as the name of the song the jug band was singing.

I believe that this was Jerry’s swan song, which is probably why Dead & co have yet to cover it?…but I get a big frog in my throat and a tear down my cheek every time I hear it…I know my own time is coming and I’m looking forward to see Jerry play it in Heaven.

@michaelpalmisano also teaches Dead tunes, but I watch both of your videos. Keep it up Davvy! Oh, and I was at these last shows at Soldier. 😊

Yay, Bobby anticipation!

Dave my friend, I just gotta let you know, I always said this was Jerry's swan song...I cry each and every time I listen to it bro, and to see somebody else get it as deeply as I do, makes it even better buddy...thank you, thank you, thank you...I just turned 50 in September, and I was lucky enough to have seen The Silvered Haired Angel 37 times, although I got on the bus late in early '91 and missed Brent, I saw the best "person" in my lifetime perform my friend...I can just see how this song gets you the same way it gets me bro...he gave us everything he had right to the end...he passed exactly one month later...I cried for days...crazy, someone who I never met, had such an impact on me when he passed...miss Jerry every. single. day. brother...unfortunately I'm homeless at the moment myself buddy, and I have my sixteen year old son with me(we're actually in a hotel), so I can relate...the Dead have gotten me thru so much...thanks for being real and doing what you do bud...peace, love, and happiness to you and yours my friend...staying Grateful...✌🏻💀💨🎸🐅🥀🐢⚡🐊🍄🔉🔊🎶

my first show was 10-9-89.. an EPIC show. i was 16, and my brother picked me up from school and we left minnesota and headed east..

♥

Jerry man, and Robert Hunter 💕

Bruh the last concert Jerry EVER played😭😭

Love the "Guitar Teacher Reacts" videos. Hey, if anyone is gonna "react" Grateful Dead material, it should be you. Hope to see more React videos. Heck, look forward to any videos you do. You are the best at what you do. Peace.

Was there! Didn’t realize the grimness due to my fresh minting.

ROCK N ROLL DAVVY

I was at the spring 95 philly shows. I think they played 3 nights. Made some sweet stories for me as a 16 or 17 year old kid.

Bobby part on is perfect counterpoint to jerry

I share Jerry's birthday and am the age Jerry was when he died. Ugh. I feel great fortunately. Father time though.

Where’s my damn lesson. I was told a year ago Davvy would teach me EVERY damn song. Lol just kidding great stuff bra

Anybody who did shows in the summer of 95 , knew something bad was coming down the pike .

❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨

This is his last time he ever played in public I believe

🤙

Will you please do a lesson for, So Many Roads? Thanks for all you do. I've learned a lot from you. 🤙

Also it reminds me of row jimmy

jerry is one of the greatests guitarist.. he plays with HALF A FINGER

When you are about to cry but then a little 15 second add for some yousician app ruins it. But it’s such a great song

Would love to see you react to Billy and the Kids w/ Billy Strings playing this. It won’t compare.. but it’s damn good 👍🏻

They cut out a chunk for the so many roads box set version where he doubles back because it’s a mess up, but it’s just fine with it that there. No other FA base cheers at mistakes

You should show some recommendations for modern people who are making dead or that type of psychedelic music

Bruh drinking outta a jar this time 🤣💀 Ain’t complaining starting my Friday morning with something different from y’all 😎

Hey Davvy, is this a Locrian solo? Jim Haubert asking, thanks!!

Long Liv the phawkin Dead 🍄🌁

DaveEeEeEeEeEy

You should make a video on how to play so many roads

I guess I never noticed til today, but is weir playing a telecaster?

F Major?

Have you showed how to play terrapin station yet also you look like the hippie that taught me how to play electric guitar in the shed he lived in when I was 15

First.

You’re a decent guitarist but your incessant noodling over this treasured and unparalleled moment in American history is distracting and unnecessary.
