Everybody’s friend until you ask to borrow money, Mr. Completely, found this uptempo Friend of the Devil from the ’89 Sullivan Stadium show being released as this year’s Meet-Up at the Movies: Garcia is all smiley, and Bobby is wearing hot pants, and Phil is still working off the Heineken weight.
Also: he found it on Vimeo and fuck Vimeo; I put it on my YouTube channel, so it might get taken down any minute, but I’m not linking to Vimeo. My grandfather stormed the beach at Normandy so I wouldn’t have to deal with fucking Vimeo.
Actually looking forward to this “Meet-Up at the Movies.” Foxboro ’89 was one of the last GD shows I attended where Garcia was totally on fire and on point throughout. One can only hope that they manage to include the nice before-show backstage performance that included Jerry, Weir and Los Lobos.
89 was the year I got on the bus.
Which is more rare: Brent with a blue cup, or Bobby wearing a barette?
The first 0:45 of this is likely the reason they took Mickey’s cymbals away.
