Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Loser” in Philly from ’89

The Grateful Dead have returned with another installment of their All the Years Live YouTube series. The latest footage from the vault features Jerry in tiptop form during the summer of ’89.

The Dead played their final show at JFK Stadium on July 7, 1989 and Jerry delivered one hell of a “Loser” during the show. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux said about the performance, “When Loser was ‘on,’ the song was sung with conviction and passion, and the instrumental segment built to a massive crescendo, one of those moments that indicated the band was having a great night. In the late 1980s into the early 1990s, there were several versions of Loser that fit this bill. The Albany rendition from 3/24/90 gets a lot of the mentions, but this one from the previous summer is every bit as great.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!

Watch Warren Haynes Cover Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead and More at South Farms

Warren Haynes with Danny Louis returned to Morris, CT for another show in their run at South Farms last week. As he has before, Uncle Warren delivered two stellar sets of originals and choice covers.

In the first set, Warren and Danny treated the farm to a beautiful version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing” which segued into the Mule’s “Wine and Blood” before heading into Elton John’s “Madman Across the Water.”

In the second set, Warren sunk his teeth into the Grateful Dead’s “Loser.”

To cap off the night, Warren and Danny flexed their vocal abilities with Son House’s “Grinnin’ in Your Face.”

Thanks to Sean Roche for the great footage! Check out his channel for more footage from the show.
