Peggy-O (v2) - Grateful Dead - 4-12-1978 - Duke Univ, Durham, NC set1-04

[@sg1770]

You are watching the greatest guitar player in American history. There have been more technical, faster and loud players, but Jerry cared about every note and played with feeling. This guy is a legend.

[@fluffywaffles]

Couldn't agree more.

[@mrpual49]

The day that Jerry died, my wife and I stood in our kitchen crying and listening to several versions of this. He's one of the musicians who touched people on a really deep level.

[@bohemianrhaposteve6402]

Margie says I'm in a cult because I listen to Jerry often. I think she might be jealous that I hang on to every note he plays...there is something very special about the way Garcia plays. There is also something very special about Margie. I appreciate them both

[@mortenandersen2264]

Such a lovely version of this beautiful song

[@Silversurfer0000]

First I must say too all the amazing people who find,send,share,and take time to think about all GD fans , friends and family. I'm 52 and became a fan, at 13 yrs old. I never had another band of amazing people who touches me deep inside. The way they play helps me out in so many ways and situations. This song JG plays that deep second startup man loss of words ,you all kn what he and the band does too you. I appreciate everyone and all you share . LET THE DEAD LIVE ON . YOUR HOMEBOY DMT.

[@gregfield3653]

I was there. Sweet show.

[@etabmc]

Was it snowing hard? My uncle was a long time head in the triangle during that time and he mentioned the cocaine had gotten out of control with the band as well as the heads in the crowd.

[@obi-wankenobi8462]

This clip really captures the magic of the dead. The dynamics, the attention and care, the humanity…

[@LoloYodel]

Listen to the entire song, or most particularly at : 4:14 ... refrain ..., then ... 4:48 Jerry angle's / refrain's the group, the tiger in a trance ... ! 4:53 ... one of the most utter sweetest guitar lines I have ever heard ... IMO ... 5:02 that amazed Jerry look, he's surprised, blissed, lifted, and so are we ... 6:41 Jerry looks left : "shhhhhh" (read "quiet Phil & Keith"). PS : oh and Bob Weir (rhythm guitar) & Phil Lesh (bass) are also exemplary here too !

[@PhotographsBand]

I love this version but nothing moves me like 6-26-94

[@robinsearles5771]

LoloYodel that little phrase he does at the end. Christ, was he on fire. This is one of the absolute best Peggy-Os.

[@dyrwolf]

I was in that Vegas heat. Surprised Jerry survived it. This final night was killer.

[@stephenmarksberry538]

LoloYodel First Thanks For All The Of This Treasure! You So Get It, He Surprises Himself Or You See Phil Get A Smile When Jerry Blisses Him Or Bobby Out!Without Billy This Would Never Have Happened , There's A Reason Jerry Always Played Just In Front Of Him,The Heartbeat For Sure 🖖🏽

[@wgazecki]

[@richardrybinski2320]

One of my top 5 favorite shows ever!

[@dougmisantoni4384]

Sublime performance...

[@j.cordellsteinmetz9219]

When Jerry died I was in my apartment in Cambridge. I lay down and cried. I could not believe that Jerry could die. I was bereft. To this day I miss him so acutely. He is my captain.

[@volvosan]

By far, this is my favorite Dead rendition of this Dylan song. As they play, you get a sense that they know they are creating something very special, a performance, a memory for all time. Jerry sings it in that soft, expressive manner - what this song deserves. Bobby is simply amazing also. Billy Strings is someone else who does justice to this song.

[@tonyhayward2858]

Agreed, a great version. But the song is way, way older than Dylan.

[@petegrady9905]

Peggy-O is an old Scottish folk song. Dylan did a rendition of it. So, have a bunch of other musicians.

[@vwjay270]

Phil walks down that bass line, then Jerry launches to moon!

[@michaelpessolano6458]

The greatest band ever ,always will be too...they dont make music like this anymore

[@staggerlee4979]

I have 30 or so peggy-o that take me to that tragic place. I think it's Phil's insane mid to late 70s bass that drives this version. He's all over the fretboard on this like he's the lead guitarist. The Baltimore 82 sb will always be my favorite Peggy-O. Jerry's hookups with Brent are absolutely incredible.

[@joec3292]

Agree, Baltimore Civic Center '82 is my favorite. Simply perfect.

[@jada90]

I love Simon and G-funk but they have nothing on Peggy-O compared to the Dead

[@pdp1145]

If Jerry's solo doesn't go straight to your heart, you need to check yourself into a hospital to have your vital signs measured. #:')

Great Job. Love the improvements. Nice touch adding the time stamps of key moments that we all still love.

[@scottbrockmanvarnado]

There’s a lot of great music in the world and a lot of great Peggy Os but this one piece might just take the cake as one of the most touching off all time. Pure bliss. Grateful to be alive to listen to this today. What a wonder :)

[@robertaustin2819]

Great version

[@gratefulhank]

I think this is one of my favorite versions. The "magic ✨" was really there. Sometimes when the lyrics are wrong it means makes me truly feel the emotion Jerry had, and just listen to that solo.... Great version ..( I also live in North Carolina hehe) -grateful hank

[@mainecanoe]

Lotta KZbin claims of the best Peggy-O but for me this is the one. The solo is succinct and straight to the heart. Some sensitive playing here by the whole band but especially Jerry. Bobby also sounds fantastic.

[@jaypollock9347]

It’s terrific. Jerry in the zone. I liked how they slowed it down.

[@jasonraaymaker3483]

i have teared up many times from the beauty ,amaze,and what could be called what is the grateful dead ect but i felt so sad and happy i have the music of the dead at that moment i saw Jerry in the trance i had tears expload directily out

As we rolled out......

[@johnhamilton5290]

Thanks for posting this. This reminds me of the first time I heard them do this song - in Ann Arbor, 1979, except in that concert it was in an acoustic set. I knew the song from folk music, and was just blown completely away. They also did Samson and Delilah and Ship of Fools acoustic, which also stunned me. I was mesmerized - without any supplementation. I lived a mile from Crisler Arena, walked to the show, paid $6.50.

[@fosterjameslove]

So cool! I love hearing stories like this. Thanks, man!

[@briancampbell1528]

[@Bunbeck-pf9iw]

Thank u so very much for this because this is all I live for in the past with Jerry because I was so inlove with him + I thought I knew what love was but I didn’t know anything until I met all of the boys but Jerry was my man + he had a special place in his heart + soul for me but it was between us , I’m not sure if the rest of the guys knew this but they knew I loved him so they tried to get me into their beds but I couldn’t after haveing someone like Jerry to make love to ! I barely could do my own husband but we got through it after I left him for 12 years because he became a alcoholic + hit me or slap me when he was drunk ! That’s y I left him for that long period of time ! He’s going back to Iceland where his family is ! I’ll miss him but that’s where he belongs !

Man, this is sweet. I'm driving down San Pablo Ave. to the Rosie the Riveter National Monument thinking of the 300 hours I had on cassettes, and gonna sit along the mile long WWII Ford tank assembly plant in Richmond and do some dabs, and this sounds like the tapes I used to spin 10 90-min. Memorex at a time and send out to heads around the world in exchange for the same. My Denon dual decks never stopped spinning and my Klipsch speakers never stopped shaking. Thanks to whomever is making these. And if you can hear Bobby in the mix, it's probably a Betty Board. As a Kentucky boy who grew up in LEX and whose first job 32 years ago at 14 was running up and down the stairs of Rupp Arena yelling, "Coke! Popcorn! Peanuts!"
