Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Man Smart, Woman Smarter” at Orchard Park in ’89

The Grateful Dead have released another installment of All the Years Live on YouTube. The latest footage brings us back to Orchard Park on July 4th, 1989.

This show was captured on one of the most significant live releases of the Dead’s career—Truckin’ Up to Buffalo. After a second set opening “Touch of Grey,” the Dead launched into “Man Smart, Woman Smarter.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “This calypso cover first appeared in the Dead’s setlists in 1981, and settled into a second-set pre-Drums slot, played occasionally and always getting the crowd dancing. Sometimes, when they were in the mood, Brent would take a verse, always welcome.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Wharf Rat” at Orchard Park in 1990

The Grateful Dead have returned to YouTube with another installment of All the Years Live. The latest concert footage comes from Orchard Park during the summer of 1990.

Deep in the second set, Jerry lead the Dead in a beautiful performance of “Wharf Rat.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance: “Wharf Rat appeared steadily in the repertoire since its debut in February 1971 until 1995, and was always a very welcome song to appear in the ‘ballad slot’ in many second sets. It first appeared commercially on Skull & Roses, and is one of the few Grateful Dead originals for which there is no recorded studio version, with the Skull & Roses rendition being the definitive version.”

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Terrapin Station” at Orchard Park on July 4th, 1989

The Grateful Dead are back with their All the Years Live YouTube series. The latest selection is pulled from summer tour 1989.

On July 4th, the Grateful Dead played at Orchard Park, outside of Buffalo. The show would later be released as Truckin’ Up To Buffalo. The second set of the show was one for the ages and included “Terrapin Station” among other heavy hitters. Here are Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux’s notes on the version, “Played a shade over 300 times, Terrapin Station was a very welcome addition to Grateful Dead second sets (with a couple of exceptions) whenever it was played. This majestic show, released on CD and DVD in 2005, features a typically hot late-1980s version.”

Watch the Grateful Dead’s Blazing “Bertha” at Orchard Park on July 4th, 1989

The Grateful Dead keep delivering the hits on their YouTube channel. The latest installment from All the Years Live YouTube series brings us to Orchard Park on the nation’s independence day, 1989.

This show, which was later memorialized in the Truckin’ Up to Buffalo release, kicked off with a smokin’ “Bertha.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “From its opening notes, we knew this was going to be a show on July 4th. This Bertha finds the Dead in fine form, carrying on the energy they’d ended the previous show in Foxboro.”

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Sugar Magnolia > Scarlet Begonias” from Orchard Park Summer 1990

The Grateful Dead are back with another episode of All The Years Live YouTube series. The latest footage comes from Orchard Park, during summer tour 1990.

On July 16, 1990 the Dead opened the second set at Orchard Park with “Sugar Magnolia > Scarlet Begonias.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “A rare second set opening Sugar Magnolia was followed by what felt like its natural partner whenever it was played outside of its usual set-closing position, Scarlet Begonias. From just 10 days before Brent’s passing, this Buffalo show was another strong stop on the summer tour of 1990.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!
