Grateful Dead - Row Jimmy (Shoreline 9/30/89)

[@gratefuldead]

"Famously referred to by Jerry Garcia as one of his favourite songs to play live with the Grateful Dead, Row Jimmy was a steady part of the repertoire from 1973 to 1995, played 276 times by the Dead. Almost exclusively a first set song, this beautiful version comes from the day after the Dead brought back Death Don't Have No Mercy." - David Lemieux

[@joeynice123]

A very sentimental tune for me. Thanks!!

Doug Irwin’s guitars are so beautiful. I’m partial to Tiger but Wolf was such a mainstay of the late 70’s sound it’s nice to see this beauty pulled out again

[@jamatoneblue]

Was this a special occasion or did Jerry play Wolf often in 89?

[@AnvilOfTheGods]

Before Doug Irwin created the guitar after Tiger, called Rosebud, Jerry started dabbling with MIDI by modifying Wolf with a MIDI rig. Once Irwin completed Rosebud, Wolf was sadly retired.

[@stevedzurilla2436]

[@Karmakatt6]

Poppa turning the 'Soul Knob' to 11.. I once asked a Martial Arts Master which Technique he liked most. He responded "The most challenging..". I always thought there was a subtle difficulty in Row Jimmy. Perhaps Jerry enjoyed this challenge??

[@jpwjr1199]

It's definitely true that he must have like the phrasing built into the solo sections of this song. It has what could be considered a stilted 2 bar phrasing, which would actually be standard if not for the stop or accent on the 4th beat of the first bar. It could be counted or felt as 3/4, 1/4, 4/4 or just 4/4 with a accent on beat 4 of the first bar. It encourages, even coerces, the players to provide a space or a breath in the phrasing, and probably appealed to Jerry's love of contrast within a passage. It's also deceptively simple, actually.

[@Karmakatt6]

@@jpwjr1199 Thanks Brother.. ill digest your explanation over time. I'll appreciate Row Jimmy even more now.. Thanks 😊

[@ARareAndDifferentTune_13]

Easily one of my top 3 favorite Dead tubes. I love what my main man Brent brought to these later versions, even right up to his untimely death - the Row Jimmy from Dozin at the Knick is a top pick for me, the interplay between Brent and Jerry is a wonderful thing to behold. I of course love the beautiful late 70’s versions, but man, something about Brent 🤩🤩
