[@sertsj1]

Grateful Shed This was a helluva show.

[@kyle-style]

Can you time stamp the Jerry? Probably useless to ask but it seems so cool!

[@cicada.k]

Truly amazing never stop telling the stories 🌈

[@alexanderbookman1193]

Amen!

[@alexanderbookman1193]

Hallelujah for Jerry wherever he is!

[@bood417]

Ronnie Tutt here on drums, just about a month before Elvis died.

[@themainten4433]

Holy Ballls John khan is the real mvp here with this sick bass line

[@jacobnyer]

Whomever gave this a "thumbs down" go the nearest mirror, and slap the taste out ya mouth.

[@erinmbox]

Haha! Tell em'!

[@alexanderfuentes7765]

this cover really sucks ass compared to Dylan's, though, you gotta admit

[@garycoggeshall9282]

No visual slap my mouth over whatever kind of music I love all world music be

[@garycoggeshall9282]

Hey I listen to all kinds of music and I really enjoy drums space and set 1 and 2 drums and space

[@garycoggeshall9282]

I didn't mean to do a thunder sound on any of the music it was a mistake forgive me and let me be forgiven by others and just take it a day at a time and just relax enjoy the summer swim play around and by September I think I should be looking pretty good then in January I split turn February

[@JamesSmith-vk2ky]

Both Jerry & Kahn are playing their Travis Bean aluminum neck guitars! They sound GREAT. Never Forget: Jerry played some of his most immortal jams on that Travis Bean. 👍👏👏👏👏✌🎵🎸🎵💃😎

[@michael-grandpamoses2571]

The Travis is my personal favorite of all Jer's guitars. But I am huge jazz fan, so naturally it makes sense

[@scotthilton6495]

He said it was the most precise guitar he ever played, probably because it stayed in tune with its all aluminum neck and unique sound.

[@stevesick1]

true im pretty sure he used the bean most of may-77

[@billc6087]

I saw JGB several times over the 70s years, a few times at a club called Crabshaw Corner in midtown Sacramento. I worked at a little VW repair shop and the club owner used to give me tickets instead of money when I worked on his car. John Kahn on bass, and Donna was there on vocals with Jerry. Donna often reminded me of a screech owl, but this night her voice was ethereal. They did an haunting version of this song. I still think about it, it was so good. I recognized a friend of mine running the sound board that night and asked him years later if he recorded it. Sadly, he said in those days he could barely afford to keep his equipment running much less buy reel-reel tapes to record. I'm glad to have lived then and seen them. I'm 70 now.

[@chrisredding7968]

That is the most sincere and touching comment that will be written about this show. Stay healthy and thank you for sharing that story.

[@edmundcarrington4719]

great rendition of a classic. Jerry always did his friend Dylan justice; he add his own soul to the songs without overhauling the original vision. Talent in the extreme.

[@rjmoney9]

Wonderfully put. It's VERY hard to cover Dylan. Not many can do it. But Jerry could.

[@fleezy6753]

and he did damn well

[@markschafer1828]

Edmund Carrington Poetic Justice at that...RIP Jerry

[@timharper4246]

He was a master of subtelty. Dylan actually said that in jerry's eulogy. I feel that's why his covers always translated so well.

[@georgemetesky5519]

Jerry was a much better performer than Dylan. There's a reason Dylan got the Nobel prize for literature, not music. The Dylan/Dead tour was a low point in the history of the Dead.

[@kathleenkelly7356]

That was cherry Jerry. Captain Trips rides again. We were all kids back then, and we danced 'til dawn. Happy days. Gotta love it.

[@johnhardesty3167]

I miss this man, he was classy as they come, bonified guitarist, certified performer!

[@Sbannmarie298]

We all do 😉

[@courtneyparker8296]

You can see a nanosecond when the line "one day the axe just fell" hits him for a nanosecond and he misses a few words after. I assume most people know his brother accidentally chopped his middle finger off with an axe... He's so out of his ego when he plays but... it's just amazing these little reminders of his humanity. We didn't leave him much room for that. Such an amazing moment... 'if you look at it right'.

[@benringenberg2394]

That is interesting, I do know the story, along with anything I can find out about jerry. I consider myself a grateful dead scholar, because I am straight up obsessed as most of us are. Funny though, your story reminds me of dewey cox cutting his brother in half with a machete.

[@themainten4433]

@@benringenberg2394 wow Great catch! Wonder if this was something that flashed though his mind…he slayed the rest of the songs after that line though dang

[@jim78us1]

I always thought that was an allusion to a murder committed by the narrator.

[@kylehaislip3315]

Miss the man saw him about 100 times in the 80's my best memories miss the life, tour, mail order tickets and the friends!

[@StealYourFace7731]

this is a great version and jerry nails the solos, especially the first one.

[@scotthart7055]

I waz there... 22 years old.. 5th row with good ole' Fredo sitting on my lap.. liquid...3 months later living in S.F. Winterland...

Garcia's on FIRE 🔥..whole bad is groovin HIGH man..I miss my ole friend Jerry 🪐🍄💥🚀😵‍💫

[@warrenmeszaros9698]

Thanks

[@warrenmeszaros9698]

What an artist…

[@andygtmo]

Music in the cafes at night, revolution in the air

[@michaeloverstreetsr.5820]

His movements at 740 really spoke to me.

[@kellyjackson127]

God Bless You sweet angel Jerry Garcia! Still inspiring souls DAILY!!!

[@ahoneyman]

Probably my favorite JGB track. He makes it his own and somehow keeps the flavor of the original.

[@matthewgray469]

I think that's why Dylan performed with the Dead and Tom Petty in the summer of 1986., because I read an article later on that said Dylan was a fan of Garcia's renditions of his songs

[@sdovas]

Jerry & Jersey, an unbeatable combination.

[@lisica8458]

Love Keith Godchaux. His playing sounds just right with JGB.

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

Jerry is on point that night. What a great solo...

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

My god, the second solo is brilliant too...

[@lloydclaussen3925]

77 was greatest year for Jerry and the dead

[@marsstubblefield]

This song, it’s a gazillion lyrics, so many words to remember, Unbelievable…

[@alexanderbookman1193]

I absolutely love you, Jerry garcia ❤

[@debbiedawson8822]

Miss him so... The day the music died. I was shocked when a co-worker mentioned it so casually at lunch. Like some guy Jerry Garcia... I must have turned more than a touch of gray!

[@vincentanguoni8938]

Nice

[@kindjordan]

So cool, John Kahn is playing a Travis Bean bass. Never even seen one.

[@chrisdher65]

If I remember right, bill wyman played one too

[@salimdavid01]

Jerry has done so many Dylan songs - my favorite being It's all over now baby blue

[@katharinerauch7361]

Seems like another century ago, when I was young....and so was Jerry :)

[@NeilYockey]

His guitar leads sound so good!

[@DylanEichenbergTahoe]

Gives me chills :)

[@thatbillkelly]

This is fantastic ... love this rendention.

[@JamesSmith-vk2ky]

*rendition. 😉

[@esperanza5I]

Jerry’s guitar was always so distinctive. Gives this song a different flavor. Nice

[@matthewgray469]

I always liked the Stratocaster the best, but then The Wolfie took over in the early 1970's and that's the Best until the 1970's to their vacation

[@david-o7328]

I wish I could have seen this man live

[@jamesvena3733]

A young guy comes to my home to deliver pizza. I answered the door wearing a Dead shirt, Dead playing on my stereo. He had a tie dye shirt on. He says can I ask you something? Did you actually get to see Jerry? I told him I'm not sure how many times but yes, many dozens of Dead and JGB Shows . I instantly became the kids hero because I saw his legend so many times Now, I get pizza delivered in 20 minutes and a few questions that I'm happy to answer each time. On one hand it's cool but on the other it makes me realize that I'm 10 years older than Jerry was when he passed. Let that 1 sink in.

[@rajsuss]

David-O, as you can read in my various comments on this page, I was there, and as you know already, it was OUTSTANDING.

[@j.pederzane9692]

One day no one alive will have seen Jerry live, but his music will move them. He is everywhere, always.

[@TMCMR]

Such a fine and soulful man and terrific band

[@dominickmicale5413]

god knows you've paid your dues getting thru. to us jerry, in the end you paid the ultimate price and you did it mostly for us i believe. thank you brother. much love.

[@pauljb2007]

Dominick Micale ... Amen Bro ... he had quite the load on his shoulders, yet he kept on taking care of us 'heads to the end.

[@dominickmicale5413]

our god damn hero :) at least mine. lol

[@wataboutya9310]

Excellent! That man was something else.

[@lefjasernbla5000]

There is no other like this man. Forever Jerry!

[@jackstraw5602]

The Knocking from 77 is also awesome... 77 has a vibe... hanging, smoking cigs... while it was still cool, doing other stuff, while it still worked... never cool... ☮️ Miss you Jerry! You and the boys left some great groundwork for the bands to follow!

[@pellboy5556]

Happy 76th Birthday to Jerry G!

[@Infidel7153]

These were great days !

[@halfaday1]

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin' I was layin' in bed Wondrin' if she'd changed at all If her hair was still red Her folks they said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough They never did like Mama's homemade dress Papa's bank book wasn't big enough And I was standin' on the side of the road Rain fallin' on my shoes Heading out for the east coast Lord knows I've paid some dues Gettin' through Tangled up in blue She was married when we first met Soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam I guess But I used a little too much force We drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out west Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best She turned around to look at me As I was walkin' away I heard her say over my shoulder We'll meet again some day On the avenue Tangled up in blue I had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell But I never did like it all that much And one day the axe just fell So I drifted down to New Orleans Where I was looking for to be employed Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat Right outside of Delacroix But all the while I was alone The past was close behind I seen a lot of women But she never escaped my mind And I just grew Tangled up in blue She was workin' in a topless place And I stopped in for a beer I just kept lookin' at the side of her face In the spotlight so clear And later on as the crowd thinned out I's just about to do the same She was standing there in back of my chair Said to me, Don't I know your name? I muttered somethin' under my breath She studied the lines on my face I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces Of my shoe Tangled up in blue She lit a burner on the stove And offered me a pipe I thought you'd never say hello, she said You look like the silent type Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century And everyone of them words rang true And glowed like burnin' coal Pourin' off of every page Like it was written in my soul From me to you Tangled up in blue I lived with them on Montague Street In a basement down the stairs There was music in the cafés at night And revolution in the air Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died She had to sell everything she owned And froze up inside And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin' on Like a bird that flew Tangled up in blue So now I'm goin' back again I got to get to her somehow All the people we used to know They're an illusion to me now Some are mathematicians Some are carpenters' wives Don't know how it all got started I don't know what they're doin' with their lives But me, I'm still on the road Headin' for another joint We always did feel the same We just saw it from a different point of view Tangled up in blue

[@andrewburen1412]

loves this... it doesn't get better than JGB!

[@kennewicksheri]

I thought you'd never say hello she said You look like the silent type Then open up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burning coal Pourin' off of every page Like it was written in my soul From me to you Tangled up in blue

This night on the Asbury boardwalk was an extra-fine treat one hot Summer night in between Spring and Labor Day and the start of sophomore year of college. I got to the Waterbury Thanksgiving Eve show that year, too. All very great.
