This, and the whole recording, really showcases Weir's masterful strumming and vocals.

Unbelievable this has only three votes. This is a killer version -- the point of ignition for the show and frisson-inducing for me, anyway. Happy Trails.

As this late summer day moves along it hints at the fleeting season and the impermanence we share. The solos are the soundtrack for these feelings, capturing both the passing of time and the extended celebration of the moment. If ever I return… who knows, but this version rows me out to that place, every time.
