The Grateful Dead returned to YouTube earlier this week with their All the Years Live YouTube series. The latest footage comes from the Dead’s 1988 fall tour.
After a “Hell in a Bucket” proper opener, Jerry lead the Dead in a terrific version of “Sugaree” during their October 1st, 1988 stop at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance, “Played more than 350 times since its debut in 1971, Sugaree was played every year of the 25 years it was around, 1971-1995, and was always standout. Whether it was shorter, mellow versions 1971-1974 or the longer, more jammed out versions that started to take shape from 1976 onward, it was a song Jerry always delivered with passion.”
Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!
