[@michaelobrien5537]

This is the best version of this song hands down.... WOW!

[@JimWard-h1p]

You are absolutely correct

[@martinkent333]

3 CHORD JUNKIES SHINE....................

[@jeffriley2218]

30 seconds in and I can tell this is a keeper. Great mix and levels on this recording.

True Story ☝️

[@drschoeps]

bingo!

[@jakelehman822]

If I had 17 minutes left to live, this might be how I’d spend them

[@scoh840]

Yes, this would be my final request at my execution

[@petermette6581]

hell yeah

[@martinkent333]

3 CHORD DRUGGIES? REALLY?

[@Horse-bc8zp]

Great comment

[@OrFamChan]

Doesn't it just take your breath away? At least someone, through musical expression, captures the paradoxical and ironic nature of falsehood in relationships with everyday people who think and act in harmful ways under the blinding guise of normality. It just creates the feeling of what I hope heaven might be like.

GOAT {🥕🐇}:=} Jerry Saves

[@aliasdyln33]

Truth be told. There was Jerry Garcia - be it with The Grateful Dead, The Jerry Garcia Band, and the best of the entire lot . . . The Legion of Mary. Lucky us - how sweet it was to be loved by Jerry.

[@martinkent333]

3 chord druggies are so adorable!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used to listen to this version on a tape I had years ago. So glad to find it here. Heartwarming, epic rendition of a great song. Grateful.

The skies were too low to contain such a talent. Absolutely unbelievable.

[@vinpaneccasio439]

Found it!! This was a filler on one of my tapes and it didn’t have the date on it, just the name. I wore the hell out of this song, thank you for posting it!.. 6 years ago haha

[@bluetrane67]

Same thing happened to me. Someone left a tape in my car at a JGB show in 1987 with a smokin After Midnight>Rigby>After Midnight jam. Never new the date until I heard it on KZbin. 3/8/80! For years, it was the Gold Standard for me. The Kean College release proved it was no fluke.Jerry was on another level in 79-80.

[@donshearn8994]

Thanks. I needed that!

John Kahn & Jerry just killing it

[@John-nt1wn]

Oh. My. God. Just takes your breath away. RIP Jerry.

[@Improvise1013]

when that jerry tone hits you at 2:18 thats the magic we chase! magic is real, you just gotta believe

[@ChrisBGSl]

One of the better moments is at 12:54, sounds like Jerry was on his way out of the song and Ozzie wanted another go at it...and the band played on...

[@joeynice123]

I always heard Jerry snapped a string there

[@charlie.something]

79 wow. holy moly, that''s actually insane. fuck me. huge tune. can't wait to listen to this again.

[@martinkent333]

JUNKIES OWN YOU?

[@onthebus11]

moved to Palo Alto in 61 from new brunswick , never should have left in 64 , but a 5 year has little say in such matters. 79 went to my first dead show in Portland Maine and the music has never stopped since then

[@Wolfgasm0414]

Great sound on this! Bravo...

[@davidgoff3787]

Words are wrong but Jerry played the tune so well he was the Best

[@hatinhatin6789]

This one's going in the daily rotation for a while

Jerry Garcia Band: Jerry Garcia - guitar, vocals John Kahn - bass Ozzie Ahlers - electric piano, synthesizer Johnny De Foncesca - drums playing one of Dylan's naughtiest siongs

[@codyagans1894]

Thank you!

[@captainmillenium_II]

Wow 1st time I have heard this version and I'm gonna say it's the best one I've ever heard, if not the best version ever!!!

[@jameshauer8554]

Thanks for the details. I played this song with a friend one time and he commented when we finished, "now that's a love song."

[@stephenstephano8519]

Miss him so much

[@dawncopley5671]

I had the pleasure of seeing JGB at the Keystone Palo Alto in February 1979. Incredible. Dylan wanted to join the Dead in 1987. One member of the band objected. Anyone know who that was?

[@rmh9er]

Guessing Bobby lol

[@SpacestationWilly]

Wow I loved the way Merl and Nicky played this tune but I’m seriously getting down to Ozzie’s solos here. GROOVIN!!

[@SpacestationWilly]

And Jerry ofc… stratospheric peaks

[@tonyhill8963]

Mydland was a more than capable keys player, but this guy wouldve taken the Dead in the 80s to an entirely other level.

A woman I know once told me that when Bob Dylan sings this song, it’s mean. When Jerry sings it, it’s sad. I get that.

John Kahn killing it

[@craigwalker7415]

Classic !

[@ronhulka8654]

Rich and thorough. Seems Jerry would have done great as Dylan's 'sideman' too.....

[@claytonwheatley103]

Dylan liked Jerry and his covers of his songs a lot. Dylan wrote a beautiful piece about Jerry after he died. They did play with him for a tour in 87.

[@effsharp7]

Is that Ozzie Ahlers on keyboards?

[@georgerigberg4335]

I swear some of the instrumental breaks keep kicking back up is cause JG can't find a lyric to hang on to...

[@timbenner7005]

LMOA. But they are all professional players. The go with the flow. Make it happen where it is pure or a mistake. They are/were amazing.

[@Jimbo4327]

Got to be the longest pos 4 in history

[@claytonwheatley103]

The solo that starts at 9:35 is the shit . If you only have 8 minutes , and not the full 17 minutes , start there .

[@robertwheeler3862]

Only Jerry can make 17 minutes not nearly enough.

[@justinj1zalientoxic]

What song is this

[@stevenanthony6223]

Bob Dylan tune. Some say it was written about Joan Baez as a kiss off.

It’s about Phil Ochs.
