Jerry Garcia ripping up one of Bob Dylan's best songs. Also with crispy soundboard! Yea!

I thank God and The Universe that I was able to appreciate this during my lifetime. I thank Jerry for it.

[@1981Dead]

Only one word can sum up this performance, "Haunting". Rest in peace Jerry.

[@aroofthemountain]

or "beautiful"

[@jokerman6015]

One of Bob's absolute best, performed by one of the very, very few who could do it justice. Jerry does this song with love and respect, while still giving it his own imprint. Beautiful.

[@deadtimber]

[@willietwilligerrock7661]

Not only might this be the most passionate, emotive version of VOJ of all time, but despite a few mumblings here and there, not only might this be Jerry's best performance of the truncated 95 year, and maybe some sort of clarion call, or pre-cursor of things to eventually come, but maybe one of his best vocal performances of the entire 90's

[@pjbscript]

in other words, it might just be the sweetest thing he ever played

Damn...tears running down my face. "Mona Lisa must've had them Highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles!" Love it!

[@sethstine4698]

I agree. I get emotional everytime I hear Jerry sing this song. Dylan's lyrics hit something really deep down within me. And while I can't quite explain what it is or why it is; this song resonates with me like few others do. It's one of those that makes you smile and cry at the same time.

[@donnicholson3200]

What a beautiful, understated and well-recorded performance. So sad to lose Jerry way too early.

[@darkstarharry2947]

[@rm1133]

As the story goes (thanks to Phil Lesh), Garcia decided to finally take advantage of the teleprompters (which nobody in the band liked to do) for this song and I for one am glad he did. A tremendous version that Bob Dylan himself said "that was what I heard in my head".

[@brendanmcmahon1162]

Still flubbed the "little boy lost" verse too

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

⁠@@brendanmcmahon1162 what part of “lost” do you not understand?

[@christopherperry1271]

I was lucky enough to be front/center for this show. Given this was '95, there was a lot of talk about how Jerry was fading fast. I recall that near the onset of the opening song, Jer broke a string. He was obviously really upset about it, got help and got back on it. My thought was "well, seems like Jerry's still here to me". This version of Visions proved that. It's cool that Phil included this version in "Fall-Out from the Phil Zone" a CD of highlights. On the liner notes, Phil states he felt that Jer's solo in this version of this song was one of his best ever. Wow! It sure is one hell of a soulful Visions!!!

[@Positiveadventures]

The boys taught me all that I know. Once in the middle of Joshua Tree i laid down to sleep in my tent and off in the far far distance I heard a soft subtle sound. So enthralled I woke up and wandered through the desert and landed at a camp site where some guys were singing with the acoustic VOJ. Hearing is float though the rocks and desert was magical. Turns out the guys were on a Bach party and their plan was shop for a weeks food. I just finished a school camping program and had a weeks worth of food left over. In the am I gave them all I had much to their surprise. It was VOJ that brought us together and VOJ that got you reading this. God bless the Grateful Dead. You all get it. I tear up thinking about it all and what life would be like without it…….miss you Jerry. More than words can tell.

[@garyshow2005]

I was at this show. What a strong and poignant performance. Jerry was near the end, but still able to wring emotion from every word, every phrase, every note. I remember not even liking it then, thinking it was boring, wanting Morning Dew instead, but what did I know then. Since, I've learned the chords and am learning the words, and have come to appreciate Dylan's poetry (this is from his most poetic album ever, Blonde on Blonde) and Jerry's interpretation.

[@deborahkauffman4192]

+garyshow2005 well said

[@christopherperry1271]

I felt the same way! I thought, why not Dew or Standing... what IS this song anyway? Now I find it to be right up at the top of all the primo Jerry ballads; I don't try to rank them. One of the best aspects of the Dead is that process of growing to really appreciate & love songs that first strike you as boring! A lot of more "poppy" music lacks that depth. It's that deep well that the Dead have always drawn from! At the show, we weren't there *yet*, we were still in the process of getting there! :)

[@joannnebrooks860]

[@halfaday1]

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ? We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind. In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane Louise she's all right she's just near She's delicate and seems like the mirror But she just makes it all too concise and too clear That Johanna's not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall Oh, how can I explain ? It's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn. Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower frieze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze I can't find my knees." Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel. The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise always says "Ya can't look at much, can ya man." As she, herself prepares for him And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes everything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

Jerry had so much heart, so much affectation, so much emotion that burst through every line he ever sang; he put you in the place of the song's protagonist and set the mood of a tune better than anyone else I have ever seen, or heard, here not only doing amazing justice to Dylan's music, but lifting the 'visions' to new levels. Sorely missed, ever mourned, Jerry Garcia will remain an iconic and mythologized god of rock and roll until civilization grinds to a stand-still; Zeus to the rest. RIP.

They're either trolls who don't like the music in general, or "just another picky Deadhead". Everyone who is into music with a mind and soul knows, there is nothing to compare with or like Jerry, and a Grateful Dead concert. Later on, there were a lot of iffy shows. But do you stop loving your spouse because not every time you make love it's fireworks through the roof? I never felt conned no matter how much he fucked it up.

[@deadtimber]

Don Henley didn't like the Dead, but who cares, that's just his sensibilities. He's a great songwriter and singer, but he just didn't get it. Hornsby tried to turn him on...I was at a show of his in Malibu where he explained what happened when he took him to a show. I get where he was coming from but don't agree. But then again as much as I like the Eagles, I wouldn't bother to see them live anymore...yaaaaaaaawn. Might as well listen to a record.

(plus he didn't want to let the fans down either ) looking back on it now he and the rest of the band really should've taken a few tours off and recuperated from all the drugs and booze and other assorted madness of the untold years of road life.... wish we had Jerry Now god bless Capt.

He always said how great it was to open as The Warlocks in a small venue. they pressured him into playing big arenas, cause he's a sensitive dude. They were greedy and used him. He wanted to go to New York, one September and "they", wouldn't let him. Someone met him at the airport in Europe and "they" wouldn't let the dude see Garcia. Garcia made private plans and TOLD "them", "F** you." I saw cockroaches coming out of the woodwork", Jerry said, analogizing folks surrounding him.

sad stuff indeed ,however it's all overshadowed by Jerry's music and wonderfully generous soul . I'm so grateful...no pun intended..to have been alive to witness a great artist of the caliber of Coltrane or Mingus live in action .Jerry Garcia will be remembered by many as one of the great guitar innovators of the 20th century and a really kind dude too......that's what's important

[@lizziesangi1602]

ChrisAndTommy GoodTimeFolkRockShow I think just the reverse. They are in the caliber of Garcia, live in action. but I don't equate them. Nothing wrong in equating them, just a different way of looking at it. Peace

ChrisAndTommy GoodTimeFolkRockShow I think what might have ultimately been his undoing more than anything might have been the smoking. I know drugs and poor eating and all that, but heavy smoking on top of that is just bound to catch up with ya... I agree that they should've taken some more tours off: they only time they did take off was when Jerry's health was really bad

[@Chrispypullen]

I miss him every day. Sad I'll never get to see a new smile from him

Love this performance and song. Truly fantastic.

How can I explain? it's so hard to get on. and these visions of Johanna...kept me up...past the dawn

I love the funky runs Jerry put together in between the chorus lines .

[@andrewptob]

David Wile You know, they're good, but at the same time, you can tell he just wasn't the same player at this point. But, he worked around that and added some nice touches. He was all heart

[@davidwile6]

AOB agreed and well said

[@superweak]

The crisp sound of the dead in this live recording is wonderful.

I think he's smiling 'cause the words are blowing his mind once again, ("seems like the very first time") "Inside the museum, Infinity goes up on trial."
