This is much better than the studio version, and for a debut it is confident and inviting. I suppose that is what makes the dead the greatest.

Spot on man. I had an out of body experience during Eyes in Oakland Coliseum 1992. Pure magic. They had this round projection screen hanging over center stage with slow motion video of lovely hippie fam dancing to the music and I can say in all honesty it was the most profoundly beautiful moment I've had in my life.

The Dead blended psychedelic rock jazz and folk so well that they just were such a legendary band throughout history. Jerry was a genius guitarist and such a poetic visionary of his time.

[@smittysmith3170]

Im an older dude now, but I grew up in the San Fran bay area during the '60s and moved to the mountains in '77, and my whole youth was immersed in a magical time. The counter culture, the beach, and this music! The stars were aligned in a special way back then and there. A concert ticket was $3.50., I pumped gas at 26 cents a gallon, and a jug of Dead Mountain Red was $1.50! HA! And the ladies OMG! .just lucky that's all.

[@albertmiller3082]

Wherever Jerry is, he's bound to be feeling fine, that windblown grin just just oozes the triumphal "Damn we're still getting away with this!" Outlook. This mix is superb, Jerry sounds clear crisp & fully charged... his voice is mixed ideally right in the center & his delivery has clarity & Nuance, as appropriate. At the end Phil pulls Jerry back into the Eyes groove, then Jerry sticks it right back by taking HIS sweet time finishing his last round of solos. This track is a very fine iteration of this jewel. Too many versions are mixed in mud or the vocals leave Jerry sounding like he's grasping a whisper. Not here, Jerry is in fine form in voice & guitar. Gracias!

But this one, the first one, is stunningly BEAUTIFUL. It floats like a monarch along a dune line in the October sun, nectaring on goldenrod. Then flitting to another. Onto Michoacan. All in due time.
