Sing Me Back Home

Grand Prix Racecourse

Gives me chills, something about how Garcia sings this one is mesmorizing. Hair raising solo after the second verse too.

Tight little version here. Bare bones beginning and cowboy Bob at the helm

Sweet melodic bliss to my ears. Jerry nails it vocally.

Simple tune, Phil is on fire though. Worth a listen.

With all due respect to 8/6/74 and many other 73/74 versions, I truly do believe this is the sweetest sounding version. I love them all as it may be my favorite Dead song, but the way the music flows with Branford just tickles my ears and make me sway with joy. Truly a testament to what great musicians the Dead were for such a long period of time. Enjoy the music, and share the love.

Agreed. Thanks for turning me on to this one. I just LOVE me some December 1973 Dead.

Fantastic jam from this 5pc band. This whole show is hot, I'm really liking it. Feeling groovy.
