In the annals of rock history, the Grateful Dead stand apart from all other groups for good reason, their longevity testament to brilliant songs, collective spirit with a legacy and influence on par with the Beatles. No group before or since has rivalled the Dead, who defied trends and retained a massive fanbase, making every concert an event. Great commentary here from Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart

    “Because they make me happier than anything in the world” held true ten and 40 years after this interview !!! God bless you Jerry for the great music and good friends

    Non Dead fans like to make fun of Jerry Garcia but he was certainly one of the most articulate of all rock stars.
  • All I can think about is how this is only 1983, and how many legendary shows these guys still had ahead of them.
  • And here we are 39 years later in the summer of 2022.....a very different world now, still dancing to the sweet vibes of Bobby, Mickey, Billy, Phil... NFA ⚘

    I miss Jerry so much! I listen to him almost every day.
  • Jerry's blues licks on Truckin' always make me smile. What an amazing guitar player.

    The music is medicine and it makes me feel young and real good. I couldn't agree more.
  • Love you Jerry❣️ It’s never been as good without you. 💙💀⚡️🌈🌤🍄🐻🐢☮️
  • Watching clips like this always make me tear up. The joy and love for the music is so pure. So sad I'll never see Jerry play.
  • @darrencsullivan
    I like how they let the music jam out in segments. Good editing. Jerry seemed super happy.
  • @Richvids48
    Jerry just made everything better, times were way cooler then

    Made me tear up. So much gratitude. When I found the dead and the people seen in this tape (yup it was a tape once) it gave me hope and let me know I didn’t have to live inside the box that most everyone around me was in. Thank you thank you thank you.
  • Because they make me happier than anything else in the whole world.
  • from "NBC News Overnight" with Linda Ellerbee (who appears at 3:07 for a standup), The Dead's performance was shot at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville, CA on 9/24/83.

    When your whole life is about music you definitely play until you can't anymore, never doubted anyone in the band wouldn't ride it till the end

    I regret not paying more attention to the Dead in 1983 when I was 17. I was wrapped up in metal and punk, nothing else mattered. I thought I was a rebel but I was just blind.
  • So cool , their whole take and outlook on life , their understanding that they where doing something they could do for as long as they are to be alive . They where all friggin right too, right ahead of their time , right about their embrace of certain mind opening substances and so right about the music . So glad I caught a couple of shows when Jerry was present , but still even in its current forms as Dead and Co . or Lesh and friends it is an ecstatic joy !
