The very definition of "underrated." Almost lost to time& yet it kills. No flubbed verses, great steady reggae jams;perfect transition. Please try it.

Jerry sounds "just like Wolfman Jack" when he growwwlllzzz out the final chorus on "Goodbye Mama & Papa...!" Whole version is aces back to back!

Jerry in especially soulful voice on this completely perfecto version from one of the best shows of '82. If you like 4-6 Spectrum, you'll love this.

My favorite "sandwich" version, this PITB actually begins in the 2nd set as reprise from the previous night! Insane weaving thru UJB/Space/Dew

Goofy stage banter by Bob, then the rippingest, roaringest, best-drummed version I know.

Always on the lookout for great versions of this song, one of my all time favorite Jerry tunes and I think a bit underappreciated, so thanks for pointing me to this show, which I was only vaguely aware of and will check out more. If I can be a bit nit-picky about this one, it's that Jerry's old nemesis, the blown lyric, pops up at an especially bad time. After kinda flubbing the "here's a half a dollar" line the first time around, he brings it back when it's time for "broken heart don't feel so bad" after the second jam break. Again, a small thing in the overall scheme, but I like this song so much I get protective of it ;-) Still, lot to like here. This one strikes me as that rare version in which Garcia's first instrumental break may outshine his second. This one's just country-beautiful, flowing and gentle and a joy to the ear. The final repeated choruses are also better done than many, with a picked-up gait and noticeable reggae infusion. This won't crack my top 5 list (3/20/77, 4/12/78, 2/28/73, 9/18/74, 2/4/78), but it's worthy of upvote and further listening.

Wow. Getting called out by not one, but 2 of my favorite posters! Tough crowd, but you gotta love Deadheads being honest. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, fellas. I listened again recently and enjoyed this PITB thoroughly top to finish. And deadprof you're right that Keith is a great presence here, I just think Billy really drives this one along. Still will campaign for this one to go higher, though, despite yours and cgarces' objections ;-)

Really like most of this, including the brief drum solo by Billy that doesn't go on too long and then leads right into the main theme and then the first sung verse. Unfortunately after that it degrades into a meandering Phil solo followed by just uninteresting noise + some feedback and it goes on entirely too long until seguing into a really pretty Eyes, which is very very good. Can't vote for this one, even though everything pre-verse is as advertised...jazzy, mellow, some nice Phil-led bass jazz exploration.

Rollicking good version. Takes the silver to 10/29/77's gold but it's almost a photo finish. Fantasmagoric Scarlet>Fire at this show, too.

They did this song so well this year in so many different shows it's hard to remember to give the ones with a little extra mustard some props. This is one of them.
