Pig comes alive during this song as well as this entire show, and Jerry respond's to his energy level, as does the whole band. I love this show!

Pigs vocals and harmonica are at a high and energetic level on this version. Jerry's guitar playing is a must listen, really!

This is a high energy and very well played version of this song. Bobby is in very good form here.

^^ 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.

Madison Square Garden

^^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.
