Grateful Dead, absolutely rippin' "Sugar Magnolia~Scarlet~Fire" 3/27/88 Hampton, VA

I saw Jerry a couple hundred times

Ambosia does't die.

wow, bob weir wearing pants in the 80s!?

CRESENDO Bravo Holy Spirit ( I may have been there at this ) wowo

Love how after the second fire jam, Jerry nailed it and he knows it! He’s so proud of himself!

I knew it wasn’t just the doses, that was a GREAT SHOW!!!!

For the first 10 minutes they are tuning their instruments.

love the Miles Davis Intro

Jerry was so on to this he was just on fire , so hot + together ! What a show as usual or always ! 😍🥰😘🥳

Jerry and The Boys were in peak form on this one!! I was privileged to be BACKSTAGE on this groovy magical evening!!!

Jerry and Bobby tore it up in 88. They are so happpy and even though I never went to Hampton the whole show from what I see just floats. 😊

Is Bobby's guitar even plugged in? I don't see a cable.

Ive seen them ohhh a dozen fifteen times in some hot venues but dont recall Jerry playing like this...he's going OFF....Hip,Hot,Hooray

Psychedelic Rock? I. Always get a jazz rock fusion vibe. Thoughts?

I was there, amazing show. But they worked for the "company" so eff 'em!

Ripping it 🎊

❤ Grateful Dead 💀 ❤

One of the better late 80s recordings I've heard

Listen to Jerry mess with the opening riff of Miles Davis' Kinda Blue before launching into SM. I'm no Dead Head but I appreciate this band a lot. Everyone should watch "The Other One" to see how Bob Weir credits he and Jerry listening to his parent's jazz albums to learn how to musically improvise and solo.

I saw my first dead show a week or so after this in Worcester MA at the Centrum

The big thing for me here is that Jerry totally takes a chance on a riff that doesn't quite pan out right at about 18:90 at the end of Scarlet, and he acknowledges it completely fell flat, and signals (or agrees at least) to move to fire and he has a smoke. The fact that they took those chances meant we went into these unexpected and rare places. Other bands would never do that and they miss out. It takes guts to be that experimental and it takes fans to appreciate what they are trying to do.

Back to trepan and just to being here !

Thanks for what you do. I get to re experience some of my favorite music for the first time through your ears. It's great fun to see!

Dude... So What!

Great Days in America 🇺🇸
Hello from Virginia 🇺🇸

I play drums for Bobby Durham over here on the Big Island.

Jerry was and is the light

Awesome show!! Thank you for posting!!

Yes, it's all coming back to me now. 🎇

Soooooooo goooood

Jerry was from another planet ❤🎉 They broke the mold when they made Jerry. His guitar playing will be heared through the cosmos for eons.

The Grateful Dead were their own vortex, a rip, a tear in the fabric of the space time continuum...Im forever grateful for my time in the arena with Jerry, the boys, and the entire Dead family....

Wow

I always think Jerry's distorted guitar tone sounded especially sweet in this era. Wonder what amp/pedals he was using.

The Chanting Monks where a blast!

The Last Show at Shoreline and the Celebration the same year in the Haight was 6 days of timeless bliss. The untold stories of the Polo Grounds Event Was over the Top. Just as it should be!
Shine Bright!

Gratefull dead

SOOO WONDERFUL!!!

GOD THESE GUY FUCKING SUCK.

As far as I know, Garcia is the only guita

When I was younger I didn’t want to hear a note of anything past 80’. I thought it sounded corny and I didn’t like Jerry’s rough voice but I’ve definitely learned to appreciate the amazing shows up until the very end. 🥀

I enjoyed this so much I'm going to hear it again and keep reading the comments. What a tremendous Scarlet 🔥 . This band is a National Treasure.

This was some show. Perhaps the Best of 88. Def top 3!
