Thanks for the earliest Jerry version of this song I’ve heard the first non 80s version I always wondered why he didn’t cover it sooner and I’m glad to find out he did

[@ne14aj92]

Dylan's words, Jerry's playing, or Jerry's singing - any of the 3 can take you from heartbreak & that aching in the pit of the stomach feeling to the euphoria of redemption in a matter of 2 frickin bars. Words of despair become enlightening. A weeping guitar becomes rich in hope. A broken verse becomes a hallelujah. They must've picked that up in a theory class, right? RIGHT? How the f? Thankfully recorded immortals, thank you.

I'l always remember that night at Soldiers Field. The wind in his hair blowing, the times were tough. He was fumbling lots of tunes and then he gives us a Visions of Johanna flawlessly. The stars shone over Chicago that night even though the end was near.

[@deadreckoning6288]

Well said. I was there. It was a heartbreaking moment but beautiful nonetheless. Fare thee well Jerry 🥀

[@BDB78]

My oh my did he ever belt that out. From the very depths of his aching soul too. Nothing can ever top that version. Neither this one, nor Dylan’s very own epic ‘66 live version from Sheffield, England. Jerry Bear dug deep down for that one that night. Glad you heard it live. I woulda wept like an infant. We all knew the end was near. He wore it all over his face. Some of the saddest days I’ve ever lived through. If Jerry hadn’t passed then I very well might have from my own heroin addiction. I didn’t want to end up like him. So, many years after ‘95 I finally cleaned up myself. I sincerely thank Jerry as one of the people who helped me through it. God I miss the guy!

[@TheRealForrestGeorge]

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ? We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind. In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane Louise she's all right she's just near She's delicate and seems like the mirror But she just makes it all too concise and too clear That Johanna's not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall Oh, how can I explain ? It's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn. Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze I can't find my knees." Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel. The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise always says "Ya can't look at much, can ya man." As she, herself prepares for him And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes everything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

[@blairbuttitta1386]

This has always been my favorite Jerry cover of Dylan. It's just such a special tune to begin with--such cool lyrics. There's a message in this song. I've never 100% figured it out, and that's kinda what makes it so fun. When you take Dylan's lyric and sprinkle Jerry on it...it makes for a very cool and very special moment. I especially dig the way Jerry slows it down a bit, and throws such a tasty solo over it. Brilliant!

[@codyagans1894]

Great comment. There is something special here and it's intriguing trying to figure it out.

[@miker7795]

I mean, there can't be a better song than VOJ. Every verse is topped by an ever better one, it's Dylan's masterpiece. I mean, every single line can launch you into a spiral. The point is that I can't explain this song at all. But throw Jerry into it, you have to listen to all 16 mins.

[@rddavies]

I feel like this is Dylan's version of Sartre's No Exit or Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Some sort of existential holding pattern that is at once incredibly confining but at the same time made incredibly beautiful by the artist and their art. "We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it"

He had a short marriage after he divorced Carolyn and lived with young wife and their child in Marinwood which is close to Novato where we lived and where Mickey Hart had a ranch where the Grateful Dead had a studio a few miles from us. I think Bob Weir lived in Mill Valley but was in Novato frequently to work at their studio . Our daughters worked at Jack in the Box in S. Novato in the early to mid 1980s next to Marinwood where Jerry came thru the drive thru on his motorcycle regularly and came inside to order once when our younger daughter was working there and waited on him, but didn't know who he was until another waitress told her. He was always in our local news. True next door neighbors around 1990 who you may have not heard of was Eric Martin, who had played backup for Journey when their group was called 415 before called The Eric Martin Band.. Eric and his wife and Dave Meniketti and another member lived next door to us. Some housemates formed group called Y & T who played some street concerts right on our block.

I may have just heard the greatest jam ever. The words haunt me.

excellent sound quality really brings this Jerry version out into the stratosphere, it's as powerful as it is silky smooth

[@aliasdyln33]

"When I paint my masterpiece(s)." Yes, both Bob Dylan and Jerry Garcia have done so here. First, lyrics that include lines like "she's delicate, and seems like the mirror" (of so many, and even just so in this song alone), indicate that Bob Dylan is light-years ahead of all other songwriters. Next: the way Jerry just steps to the plate, and masterfully strings out the flow of both the lyrics and song . . . is brilliant. I'm 'pressing on' for more Jerry covers of Bob.

[@williamkershner4999]

I've always sung: ..."Delicate, and seems like veneer." Different. Never thought/new of "the mirror"...

[@eddiebobcat3183]

@@williamkershner4999 Me too! I thought I was the only one. Took me years to see it in a book. For a while I sang “mirror”, but one day I mentioned to my wife that I liked “seems like veneer” better and she said “then sing it that way.” And I have ever since. Sang it at an open mic in Sacramento a couple of months ago and I was pleasantly surprised at the reception-that some of the younger folks even knew the song. Go several nice comments from some of the other players. Been singing it since 1969 but this was the first time I did it in public. My favorite Dylan song.

[@alanbiedermann9049]

For many decades, without having seen the printed lyrics, I listened to Dylan's version of this song (hundreds of times!) and I heard "She's delicate, and seems like Vermeer." Yes, Johannes Vermeer, the 17th century Dutch Baroque painter. I don't know why, that's just what I heard.

mar 2019 "Visions Of Johanna" Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ? We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind. In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane Louise she's all right she's just near She's delicate and seems like the mirror But she just makes it all too concise and too clear That Johanna's not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall Oh, how can I explain ? It's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn. Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower frieze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze I can't find my knees." Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel. The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise always says "Ya can't look at much, can ya man." As she, herself prepares for him And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes everything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

"She seems like veneer"[IMO]

[@comradecommie8545]

All the best music was written by bob dylan and performed by Jerry Garcia

[@Billw0006]

Agree with your comment! But about your name tag? If you think playing commie is so cute, try asking the millions who survived getting out from under it, or the millions more who never made it. But stick around, your dictator, Beijing-Biden, is already shoving Amerika down that drain.

This is my favorite Studio product from Garcia. I read that it was not Keith on keys, but most say it is. It is amazing whoever is playing it.

[@dominickmicale5413]

Joe BallIII sounds like a very awake Keith to me

[@rebuttalc2075]

doesn't sound like Keith nor Nicky Hopkins

[@gregosbo8921]

I was going to say the opposite, it sounds a lot like Keith from the 78-79 tours imo

[@rebuttalc2075]

if I had to guess I would say Larry Knechtel but it coukd be any of the 3, its beautiful whoever it is

[@nducati]

Perhaps Jimmy Warren

[@swedemcf]

This is absolutely beautiful.
