Bertha ~ Morning Dew - Grateful Dead - Town Park- Telluride, CO 1987-08-15 39 years ago tonight, on August 15, 1987, the Grateful Dead performed the first of two nights at the Town Park in Telluride, CO. This had to be a magical place to see the Dead. It was summertime in a ski resort town taken over by the deadheads for a few days. What a joy it must have been to be there. This is "Bertha ~ Morning Dew" from the second set of that show. Check out the setlist from that night: Set 1 Feel Like A Stranger ~ Franklin's Tower Minglewood Blues Candyman Me And My Uncle ~ Big River Tennessee Jed Desolation Row Deal Set 2 Scarlet Begonias ~ Fire On The Mountain ~ Looks Like Rain Eyes Of The World ~ Drums ~ Space ~ I Need A Miracle ~ Bertha ~ Morning Dew One More Saturday Night Encore It's All Over Now Baby Blue Great thanks to the source of this recording: Michael Hessberg's Master Audience Cassettes; Sennheiser ME80 mics ~ Sony D5M Special thanks and credit goes to whoever owns, created and posted the photos i used in this clip.

I saw the grateful dead back in 1979 when i was 15... that night changed my life. i was amazed by everything i saw, felt, and heard, from start to finish. Most impressive was the lead guitarist, Jerry Garcia. He had something special, some magic in him, for sure. The band as a whole was one of a kind, but Garcia stood out. From the start, I always thought of it as the "Phil & Jerry show." That night, 1/18/1979, put me on a fantastically long, strange, trip that i'm still on today. I'm happy to say that i saw the grateful dead 81 times. (Up until 7/2026, I had counted only 78. I went through each show on deadbase on 7/4/26 and found i didn't count 3 Spectrum shows I went to). I also went to as many JGB shows as i could- i don't have a count on those. i can truly say that i definitely didn't see either band often enough! My name is Leo. Through the years i never really learned how to play the guitar. Just played it and struggled the whole way. Haven't had a lesson... I've tried not to listen to anyone about it- and it probably shows. What i offer you is me, and this music from my heart, born of pure love and emotion. Hopefully you'll feel some of it as you listen. I'm not the best singer but i love to sing the dead and garcia tunes. There's so much meaning behind all of it for me. I know many of you share this same feeling... its something special and very difficult to describe. Something about Garcia's sincerity when he sang rubbed off on all of us. We remember when we hear their music. I miss Jerry every day. His music is an inspiration... #gratefuldead #music #livemusic #jerrygarcia #love #video #jerrygarciaband #phillesh #bobweir #shortfeed #shortvideo #shortsvideo #nature #hiking #hike #shorts #short
