I have watched this video maybe 100-200 times. It's by far my favorite live version of any song. Brent is just incredible here and it's incredible watching the chemistry and happiness between him and Jerry. It's hard to find a song that leaves you feeling more happy than this one.

Actually, there are a lot of musicians that are channelling Jerry and the boys and doing agood job of it. They are keeping it alive! Don't be sad, Jerry wouldn't want that. The Deadbeats from Northern California are just one of the great bands playing the Deads music and doing an awesome job if it.

I don't have many regrets about my life, but I regret not seeing them more than once. However, that one time was so much fun, "Live at the Sundome, Tampa, Florida, 10/26/85." There was a crazy synchronicity that happened. The party in the audience was well underway. Jerry and friends were singing something about the rain (I don't remember the song) and at that moment, someone must have spilled a gallon of beer from rows above and it worked its way down, soaking my feet at the moment they sang about the rain. It was so funny. Makes me laugh to to this day. Well, you had to be there!

This was the last concert at JFK and the guys were spot on and having a blast for the entire show. It was extremely hot and humid, but once they started playing it just didn't seem so bad. I remember there was an old water fountain in the infield and someone left it on and by the end of the show the water was up to our ankles. I believe The Who was supposed to play there after this show, but the stadium was in really bad shape so this was the last show I believe. Iko Iko was fantastic! I really miss Jerry and Brent! I've been to some very good shows after they were gone, but this was one of my favorites!

This is one of the 2 best versions of this song. Nassau March 90 being the other. What a time for the GD. From this summer ‘89 tour through Spring ‘90 they were just absolutely on fire. Rivals any period in their illustrious history for the consistency night in and night out of the level they were playing at. The band had remained the same for over 10yrs at this point, they had a massive catalogue of songs, the effect of having In the Dark and Touch of Grey become their first big hits, Garcia was relatively (for him) sober and healthy; it all added up to a streak where the greatest American band their ever was was just clicking on all cylinders. Gosh do I miss this band. ⚡️
