Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

Watch the video of this perfomance, taken by an audience member. The lighting makes Jerry look ghost like. It's beutiful, though.

This was the last song that Hunter and Garcia colaborated on. It is also one of their masterpieces. This is my favorite version. As memorium to Robert Hunter, I will only submit signifigant versions of the best Robert Hunter collaborations untill I have run through all of them. That's gonna take a while.

^^^^ Agreed, I listend to it. It was difficult to take it in, but beutiful. They are both gone now. We can only commemorate the wonderful songs that they created the best way that we can, by listening and sharing. I'm glad we have each other for support during this difficult time.

One of the best. Words and music by the great Robert Hunter R.I.P.

This, lost, Loser is for anyone who truly appreciates this song, and for 1971 aficionados, DS67 and E5, for example. This one stands up to any other version, in my opinion, including Barton Hall and Albany -1990. Jerry took a "less is more" approach on his Strat solo, simple but perfect for this song. Bobby's rhythm is strong and audible. Keith is adding some tasty honkytonk piano, and he's mixed low enough to not cover up Bobby's guitar playing. This song, and the entire show, should be listened to, or revisited!
