His finger picking is outstanding.

[@ambroseasylum3606]

Jerry did this at a nightime Ventura Fairground show in 94 that was absolutely off the hook. It's the hardest I danced in my life. Jerry and Melvin took it to a place that wasn't even Sally anymore. It was pure mastery that brought them back. I mean I thought they were lost in the most wonderous way but they miraculously found their way back to Sally. Improvisation in its highest form.

I dropped out of college and went to California because I heard he did this in San Diego so went to The Warfield and for 4 days swore they would play later on Sally third song second set other Minecraft to the point where everybody hated me but God damn it third song second set bam sweetest song ever so

I picked up a guitar because of Clapton, I studied because of all of the Blues masters that came before him, I was fascinated by Jimis power, enamored by Pages sloppy goodness. In awe by Mr. Les Paul... But Jerry... oh sweet Jerry. You were so different. Hope to see you someday and hear you play live for the first time.

I was there, and remember it well. Great show. The music was beautiful. Jackie and Gloria harmonized sweetly with Jerry. The snowstorm after the show made it very interesting. Decided to wait out the storm in my 1986 Toyota 4x4...sat under an overpass near the Bradley center until around 4 am.

This was the best version of this song and the best show of that little mini tour in November of ‘91. Although the next night in Minneapolis offered a somewhat rare JGB encore of a beautiful rendition of Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong not Sam Cooke). After the Dead’s Halloween shows in Oakland and the shock of Bill Graham’s sudden death this little JGB tour was just what we all needed.

Saw them (GD) and Jerry from 89-95 during the sunset of their careers. Certainly had some of the most memorable times of my life at both type of shows. The JGB shows were a breath of fresh air and 2 sets of only Jerry was pure bliss. I really appreciate any posts of the earliest Dead recordings when they were young, strong, hungry and had nothing but each other and their music....magical!

[@pjbscript]

watching lots of Dead/JGB vids during the qurarrantine or however you spell the friggin word ... anyway, yes I agree!!!!, it's wonderful to experience side by side something from 1970 and then again from 1995. He really gave us his all.

[@JaggedRecordsVa]

As he said once “Ultimately what I would hope would happen is that there would be no more identification of groups on the basis of names and things like that but rather than for music to be seen as to what it really is, which is a group effort. People would go to a concert and there be no headliner. There would only be music you know? Rather than the system of stardom and all of the show business stuff. It’s really unnecessary. But yes, there is a trend towards of playing in more different configurations and so forth, it’s because it’s fun”. -Circa. 1972. He was a treasure and still unappreciated by so many. The fact that he’s yet to be named top 10 guitarist in any magazine says much. I respect and love them but I’ll stand here and defend myself when I say Jerry was better than BB, Clapton, Beck, EVH, SRV, Chuck, Hendrix, Santana. Anyone. The only one that would be, Mr. Les Paul, that man was a badass.
