[@dmloeb]

This is, without a doubt, my favorite Dead song

[@CappnRock]

Favorite version?

[@DMR4736]

as for this , this song , and Me and my Uncle

[@lukecage3569]

@@CappnRock I absolutely L:OVE the Lakeland, FL 1977 version on Dick's Picks 29 (I think its on that one). Was working a bar w. a Dead cover band and they played 12 songs or so and I didn't recognize 2 of them so I asked for their set list. Looked them up and this was the song. Its been my favorite song ever since and now I play it on every juke I see if I can LOL Esp love that its an old standard that no one knows who wrote it.

[@thejamnasium6447]

@@CappnRockthe Reckoning version is the only acceptable answer

[@KDT081969]

It would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall. I love that line.

[@danredding7901]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time

[@rickycobo]

It's just SOOOOO good. Real music.

[@billbeliakoff5589]

I'm glad I clicked on this. I prefer the acoustic versions but this is outstanding

[@m.k.s.p.7746]

Ha ha ha. Bringing back a LOT of memories. My eyes wouldn't be good enough to pick up a MIDI connector, even from the front row. Does that go to a transmitter box on his hip (did it, I mean)? (Formerly known as the Warlocks..... there are 3 people (left alive) on the East Coast who ever saw them as the Warlocks......although there's a band called the Warlocks now that you could catch....) Catch "The Perro Sessions" with the Cros and others -- that's some cool shit! Great set, BTW. Thanks for posting it. It brings me right back, for some reason the video on KZbin make a huge difference on my nostalgia. I remember the guys sitting behind me at Hampton had a a 3 foot long mirror sitting across 2 peoples' legs. They called themselves "The Toast".

[@sidneycox7391]

In these DARK DAYS they help ease the pain !!!!

[@jordancressley3634]

[@bobdylande]

The Wolf has such beautiful tone. My favorite axe that Jerry played.

[@drewharrison1840]

But he changed the world while he was here. Not many can say that.

[@PattiCornell]

Ripple is my favorite Grateful Dead song. Love all the other songs but Ripple is my all time favorite From Patti Cornell

[@PattiCornell]

Ripple is my all time favorite song

[@didicrow9725]

Wow, what a Song!!

[@lougehrigsdisease7945]

Walking home from work tonight through harvard square. Close to midnight. Lots of people (squares/nerds...no offense) out and about. And a busker had a one-man PA set up and I only caught a passing glance at what he was playing and I was like "I know this song" and was whistling it and before I made it home I was whistling it and than BAM! Jack-A-Roe! I hope he shows up again and I can give him 2 bucks.

[@lougehrigsdisease7945]

At first I was like "Hmm...what Pixies deep cut was that..." trying to place it. Solo acoustic, you understand. When it hit me 20 minutes later I smiled.

[@blackknife1]

me too....GOD I miss him so much still. gone waaaay too soon thank you Jerry

[@Fluffyfluffyhead]

that was sweet Jerry, thanks

[@nicoletinker8081]

Best love song ever

[@spidasilva69]

Fare thee well my friend, happy Independence Day Jerry!! Rip brother

[@mjcglf]

Best looking and sounding of the Irwin axes. Don't know why he stopped playing it(although I still love the tone from the Bean).

[@wolfsvision940]

Love the Wolf but some of those sweet sounds of Tiger are hard to beat!!

[@jackiesmith1359]

...jackies gone a sailing wit trouble on Her Mind....luv it, tanks splaif fo postin lol xox

[@javajoelovesyou]

Very, very nice! I sure miss ol' Jer!

[@RobertHale-u3i]

Thats about the time i was in norfolk, VA 2:34

[@willburr]

Anyone who was there, what is up with the crowd explosion at 0:40? Jer even seems to be taken aback at it. Did something happen or was it just one of those bizarre Dead moments where everyone felt something really intense at the same time? Group mind blowing off steam....This is a GREAT version, btw

[@TheTopher68]

scored a miracle!

[@joshuataylor3975]

She smiled all in her countenance...

[@TheDeadRebellion]

this is such a gnarly riff

[@assmunch42na]

Really......no kiddin....ty

[@KDT081969]

It's physically impossible to hear this song and not dance.

[@egreenbery]

The "Warlocks" shows !

[@avantguards]

jerry was the master of disaster !!! man, that boy could play !!!

[@06midge]

@MrSpjuth id like to see that....sounds nice

[@Twotontessie]

He makes it look so damn easy . . .

[@vauxhall908]

nice shot of his left hand

[@mosescotton]

It is an old English/ european ballad. I think it has several names/versions. Petite Jean, maybe. I am sure there will be more responses and negative statements.

[@anarchybmx]

is that the wolf? nice!

[@niptotheair]

@rhburns23 I'm hip! Jerry in classic voice, absolutely shredding Wolf.

[@applesausemcgee]

wait, when did the warlocks change their name?!

[@ryanmoore2779]

Yup one must know this

[@lukecage3569]

Way before they became the Grateful Dead. Too bad there are so many Satanic undertones to this music because its really good.

[@supainfo]

@TheMpd2011 he used wolf in 89 with the GD......

[@m.k.s.p.7746]

Joan Baez, huh? WTF, I'll try it out... (response to "komentator")

[@natekipp]

Just listen to the music, it's not JGB.

[@64delftlover]

Yeah, a sucky ending, Brent too, his death due to a speedball.

[@omahas9000]

komentator, Joan Baez may have done it differently.....she didn't do it "better."

[@MrSharkey11]

Whoever was in control of the soundboard turned down Garcia's guitar or else it's the recording. If the former than so much for political correctness!

[@komentator]

geat but joan Baez did it better :)

[@RasCricketSmallAxe]

They cant keep time for shit. I know, I would have cheered too....but god damn they were such sloppy fools
