Grateful Dead [1080p50 2023 HD Remaster] March 28, 1981 - Rockpalast - Essen GERMANY - Full Show

Classic broadcast. So killer!

I didn't know Jerry was for ads interrupting him every 6 minutes What would he have to tell you about the Ads? I think we already know
I find it very difficult to understand why anyone putting his l out legacy.Would allow for such B S. You know what I'm saying!

This show has more ADS THen Bobby has FLASHBACKS!

no way ,,COMERICALS IN TH MIDDLE OF A JAM ,,WTF

Thanks for posting this gem!

Btw, my approximately 40 year old cassette of this show says "West Germany" which is technically correct. 🙃

I watched this in my southern German hometown as a young boy under the bed cover with my little black and white TV turned really low so that my parents wouldn’t catch me…..school next day…

Jerry nailed Wharf Rat on here

Ads every two minutes for a three hour concert, smh

The best Althea EVER!!

I was Seventeen and lost in prison Country East germany. This evening was Hope!

What a great Althea! What a great gift, Christopher. ❤❤❤ thank you.

Great job. Thanks 🙏 😊

You are the man bro! This so fucking great

This is amazing you got my $$$$

The Karamazov's had a great routine of juggling audience provided "items". It was hilarious...a huge pizza in a box, a large fish, one of those giant fold out maps, giant phone books; you name it, they had to juggle them. Those who knew, brought impossibly awkward items.

These guys still had their moments in 1981, even with the new guy on keyboards. Thanks for this.

Billy was being The Who!😊

Thanks, Chris. Incredible.

awesome, saw it on TV back then. We ran out of herb that night and I overslept half of the show. 😅 But I’d taped it on video at least for later use😄 In 1990 I saw two shows of them in Berlin and it was absolutely mind blowing 🎊 🎉 pure magic

Love this. Wish more 79-82 footage existed. Early Brentful Dead is my fav

Phil on an Irwin bass? Interesting!!!

die music super! die lysercsäure leider nicht

This is tremendous.

Thank you Chris, im a new deadhead of 5 years now, absolutely love it

Thank you as always. A kind Redditor suggested this show. Love what you do.

Jerry’s guitar playing in 1981 was 🔥

Great show😊

The ad breaks need to be between the songs... Killing thr vibe...

Remember staying up late to see this on German TV. This cemented my appreciation of the band. Thanks for the effort!! BTW, the Rockpalast camera team was the only one in Germany for a very long time who knew how to record a concert. See the many close-ups of Jerry's playing. Phil comes out nicely in the audio mix. Bob is sometimes a bit mute.

garcia and townsend.....2 birds of a feather for sure :)

Dam, the boys are smokin that Shakedown Street!

In response to mr Cohen's comments 3 months ago I am currently doing my best part albeit I do not have the video on a large screen I live across from Independence Park look for the steal your face stained glass in the window signing out DJ Denny

This is a fantastic find! Thanks for all your efforts.

The can of Finger Ease visible pre-Althea reminds me that Jerry used to only get 9 cans instead of 10 in a batch. 🙂

Jerry was 38 here. Thirty eight.

Thx much for that - could watch it every day :-)

I’ve seen 30+ live before Jerry passed and that was the best Drums I’ve ever seen. Keep watching it over and over each time. No fast forwarding.

What an absolute treat. Thanks for the work you do and for sharing with the fans. Just incredible!

Incredible! Thanks yet again 🤟

My favorite shakedown Jerry literally rips

This is incredible, Chris! Just incredible. The sound, the picture, the color! We owe you BIG TIME FOR THIS!

Ads really have got to go. This is a recording of THE Best Althea, ever and you, *ssholes have to interrupt Jerry with a f*cking ad. The Grateful Dead is not meant to be cut up or tampered with in any way. You do not know better, you f*cked it up.

Back in the tape trading days, there were very few video bootlegs, like only a small handful. Besides Sunshine Daydream, the two I remember are this one and Duke '78. I never imagined that such a high quality video would be possible. I remember discussing videos with my tape trading friends and we all knew there were tons of videos in the vault or that people were not putting them into wide circulation. We are living in a glorious Grateful Dead era where so many videos are now available to the masses. Thank you Christopher for all you do to add to the community.

🤟🏼✌🏻❤️
