This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

Winterland Arena

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

^^ Good ear on the time signature change during the last part of the jam, CC. I think it stays in 4/4 throughout the piece. However, when they go into the Playin riff, the whole band speeds up, just a little, then the drummers start playing a syncopated rhythm within the 4/4/ time structure. That's how I hear it anyway. I love this Jam!

Roert Hunter tells us another tale of a man who is reflecting on his broken life and the woman that he lost. Jerry puts these words to a beautiful country melody. No other version, that I've heard, delivers this song as well as this one.

I haven't heard this one. Jerry's vocals are strong and truthfull. The instrumentation is different on this version, perky and a little faster. Excellent version.

^^That must have been an emotional experience for you, bzfgt! Since the passing of Robert Hunter, this song seems especially poignant.

^^ Agreed! 9/18/90 has the emotional edge over this one because it was the first TLMD played after Brent's passing.
