a traveler of both space and time

[@robertwhough]

If you wanna see 'rough', fast forward to 1984 ...

[@adamwatson6916]

​@robertwhough 84 to 86 was probably his roughest looking period

[@billysapp5582]

Damn, I felt that one, Thanks Jerry, our love will not fade away!!

[@rebuttalc2075]

Stellar version. I tend to like the old ones with the sweet susie lyric the best

[@TheGuccidadi]

38 years old. Thirty. Eight. Rip Jerry. Hopefully you found peace.

[@joelfierman8499]

God damn Jerry can put you anywhere he wants you with that Tiger and that masterfully haunting beautiful voice. Fkn unbelievable

[@AngelAbroad_TX]

Bravo !

[@MrArchive-v9n]

Jerry wrote this song and Deal in a single morning, Hunter gave him the lyrics at breakfast , Jerry complained as he was busy reading the paper, Hunter went off to town and by the time he returned, it was all done and dusted .

[@chrischandler4483]

I'll never forget these shows. I was only just ten years old living in Montclair NJ, right outside of Growing up the Dead were everywhere around me.Growing up they were always playing near by. I had been getting into the Dead heavy for about a year and a half thanks to the older kids in town,my brother, best friends older brothers, my step sister &her friends, radio,SNL, my Dad buying us albums &the cool guys who worked at the record store. I'll never forget when this guy who worked at the record store coming in after one of the nights sad because he said he had been hired to help the film crew and he screwed up and was fired for getting distracted and filming heads making love in the back of the place. I don't know if it was true but to a ten year old, the story was epic &mind blowing!!

[@libertyv5426]

Yeah buddy!! Good one!!

[@MycAnndee]

I know this is slightly "off topic" but I was shooting. live video for a horse. racing event in Santa.Rosa, CA and. between races I locked down my camera to go get food and a woman. with. very large breasts stood right. in my unattended shot and all you could see was boobs. I didn't get fired but I did get a firm lecture over it! Your. story reminded me of that day. Live. video is always. a challenge. because people do some wild crazy things.

[@MarkMasters...]

Crazy Rythyms, Bloomfield Ave. ...Weir Everywhere Brother.👍😎🕺

[@JodiSamurai]

I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines..

[@jag6183]

I love this song. Great lyrics.

[@jamesandros9473]

Straight from the Heart true music!!

[@AlbertFlynnDeSilver]

Are you kidding me? Such a crushingly beautiful version, makes me weep with joy every time! Oh how i miss Jerry ❤🎉😢

[@spikebutler7282]

I know a lil somethin you won't ever know

[@susiefairfield7218]

Killer quality 👌

[@joshtpa]

Every time I go to Radio City Music Hall I picture this happening. This is rock and roll. Nothing better.

[@libertyv5426]

I imagine a dusty old gambler smooth talking a widower out of her inheritance in between hands over a bottle of whiskey and a cigar....

[@kristendelvescovo9701]

So delicately and eloquently delivered

[@brianh6330]

Gone but not forgotten

[@tennesseejed884]

You got that right 👍

[@douglaconti7113]

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Amazing.

[@bartondailey2630]

I love this

[@Misserbi]

He wants to slow fate down and everyone is trying to listen to learn what he has to say. Genius. Years and years of "deaftones" who must become literate and maybe think on their own. I like that about heady music.

[@stephanlarsen8169]

Story Teller

[@Misserbi]

@@stephanlarsen8169 beautiful

[@joshtpa]

Actually, he just wants to rip off other gamblers in a card game. This song isn’t a metaphor, it’s Robert Hunter at his best describing a gambler about to fleece a game, but he needs a stake from his girlfriend. “I know something you will never know”, “I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.” “Come to daddy, on an inside straight”. “I got no chance of losing this time.” Then they skip town.

[@Deyy00]

everything can be a metaphor it’s up to the listener that’s hunters whole bag lol

[@billc2147]

Phil! His bass tone is amazing. Bombing

[@MH-bt6de]

I agree, I think this is my favorite era for Phil’s playing - absolutely superb

[@2manynamez938]

RIP 😭

[@jamesschmidt2817]

4:20 Billy’s drumming is on point

[@chrischandler4483]

Youngsters will experience!!!

[@alisonbarnes1988]

♥️♥️♥️

[@zzzzzach]

Love this song and some interesting soloing in this one but I think I prefer when they come out of the solo with a bit more drive.

[@debs4mysweetbaby]

Wish I could have been there!! I remember that all three shows at Radio City sold out in about 30 minutes!!

[@philipeaston5465]

I was there on this night...Oct. 30th. I was 15 yrs. old. My dad drove me and my friend in from North Jersey and then came back and picked us up at 1 am. He was waiting out front under the marquis in his yellow 1978 Chevy Chevette. The band was still playing the encore...Casey Jones. That was my first Dead show.

[@philipeaston5465]

Three shows? Ten shows!

[@JW-zl3nm]

going off - miss you Jerry

[@albundy3326]

YEAH!

[@el_zirb]

Oh my

[@dabble778]

Ads right at the solo. Love it (:-[

[@tennesseejed884]

Anyone love LSD as much as me?

[@joycejames8461]

Nice to hear this but I do miss Sweet Suzie.

[@ginakhoo8423]

Bettye LaVette sings a fantastic version of this song!

[@Pedro91795]

Is the one that’s on the live album on film anywhere ?

[@morganlegg3272]

How about not putting an add in the middle of a song. Before or after....

[@adamwatson6916]

You have to take that up with You Tube .

[@BrandonToy]

Jerry looks good here.

[@bartondailey2630]
