Queen Jane Approximately - Grateful Dead - 10-8-1989 Hampton, Va set1-07

LoloYodel 2 camera-angle remix (with special thanks to the two angles of Lazy Cow !).
The 1st of the legendary two night stand at Hampton under the disguise as "The Warlocks". This 1st set is sound, straight forward, almost excellent but arguably not exceptional. The Foolish Heart, which opens, is thorough and heart felt but the next 3-4 songs seem to have difficulty getting off the ground (or into rythym) with notably a Candyman which, despite the "get me my 'ol guitar" (as Jerry had pulled out his old "Wolf" from the closet since the days of 1977-1979), lacks the full magic due to fumbled lyrics, technical problems ... Nonetheless, Bird Song is open and aerial and Promised Land brings a promising rockin' finish to this 1st set. Yes, Big River has some stomp, Stagger Lee shines and Queen Jane is dynamically and entertainingly sustained by good 'ol Bobby Weir.

Bob can screw up trucking but he always nails songs like this. Man Im so glad they were a part of my youth every time I hear them play it brings me so much joy.

[@barristanselmy2758]

Guys a fucking nutter. Still going!

[@elishabarns3911]

Same here. Brings tears of remeniscence (?) and God I miss those days such a part of me. No one outside understands… I’m doing this fall tour east coast. It’s my life. I love what I love and I want it that way. And sometimes we live no particular way but our own. Right? Interestingly I’m living a healthy lifestyle these days. Whole Foods mostly vegan…CBD…kratom. Exercise and fitness. Meditation. Bobby has been such an inspiration and role model. Ok enough out of me for a simple comment lol. This is me during my Saturday morning coffee and me time haha

[@wanderer85295]

in those days when life was so much more when we were free and young and we traveled from shore to shore east to west and back again and the constant the heartbeat the life energy spilled wherever they played . didn't matter how many shows you saw you wished it had been more . the world changed when Jerry passed , the colors of life slowly faded to a paler shade . but don't be sad for That be thankful to have been blessed to have lived in a time when we were able to know that space that joy that peace of spirit and soul.. those less fortunate find some of the force but unless you were emerced and bathed within it you can't have it well up inside of you so full and real 30 years later. peace be the journey , be kind and pass it on along wherever your path may lead

[@tsange6813]

One of Bobby's best vocal performances that I have seen.

[@ml_gamer8344]

Agreed. Just perfect

[@jamesmoad7283]

No matter what version of this song I hear it goes right to my heart . Music can be very powerful.

[@joannnebrooks860]

james moad you just put into words what has kept me going. The music goes straight to my heart and then seems to becomes. a integral part of me. It feeds me like nothing else. And seems to keep me alive.

[@Marcus441955]

My band mate suggested last practice that we do this song as no one ever does.....more I play it the more I love it. Great song

[@rockwellspipe6115]

No one does Dylan like the Dead. And I particularly love songs where Weir sings lead and Garcia sings the high and lonesome harmony during the chorus and noodles on the guitar during the verses

[@willbigelow472]

Couldn't agree with you more! Desolation Row "Downhill from Here" is a great example of this!

[@mccurryburg]

Except for Bob himself, of course.Oh yeah, and then there is The Band, also. Frankly, this seems a bit lifeless, just saying

[@mikewilkinson4588]

Well said....

This IS Bobby's Masterpiece.

[@Nastyoff]

Very fine take of this tune. Bob is solid, Jerry is dead on and Brent is out and out delightful. Thanks for posting.

[@lenny3804]

This song gives me a indescribable feeling

[@stjames8888]

Something i just rediscovered, i love it!!! The Dead is such a treasure trove. I see also how Lady jane gets her promotion and becomes Queen Jane. Nothing but chillbumps!!!

[@123thof]

Weir does a good job here; this is a very hard song to understand and deliver. It requires a mix of love and cruelty.

[@LoloYodel]

Well stated Sir !

[@jamesmoad7283]

Yes

[@codyagans1894]

Very well worded

[@george.s.8491]

My absolute favorite version of this tune!

[@kellyjohnston5565]

What can I say, There's nothing quite like a Dead show!!!!

[@aliasdyln33]

It's easy to see, without looking too far, that much is really sacred. But this song, in the hands of the Grateful Dead, is just that! The tune here is performed like they are kindred spirits of Sir Bob Dylan.

[@MichaelJones-jy8db]

My two favorite musical worlds colliding into one. I love this band

[@billmcintosh220]

Plus the intro and Jerry's phrasing all song long, just compliment Bobby. He is relaxed and tense. smooth and gruff. And Phil runs around wherever he damn well pleases.

[@codyagans1894]

Good description

[@TheFoolishgoat]

I was there!. I had stayed on the East Coast after Jerry Tour and had just weathered Hurricane Hugo in downtown Charleston, SC. It was a miracle I was there and not back home already in CA. Tickets were easy. And the Help>Slip, Attics, & DarkStar legendary. A spiritual high point in my life.

[@codyagans1894]

I'm hooked on this song

'89 was such a rocking year for the Dead, managed to see spring, summer and fall tour (not all of it, 2 or threes shows per tour), Dead & Co coming to my area in the summer. One More Saturday NIght!

[@TheHaidajoe]

Was this the year of the long island sound? Bobby is awesome in the live album also!!!

[@TheHuntersjames]

So good, this song goes right to my heart, stabbed with a frisson inside a flashback inside a dream. Love you too

[@shannonwinn4970]

Jerry with Wolf. So damn cool. I miss this so fucking much!

I was at both these shows. I love this song!

[@TheMewoff]

This is from the infamous Warlocks shows before the 89 fall tour. Great version of a great song

[@johnpatillo5421]

thank you for posting this really brings back some good old memoirs. Bobby' performance of this song is amazining!

Just sitting here watching the best step on a stage. Thanks Jerry,Phil Bobby, Bill, Micky, Brent, Pig and the rest.

[@Ivartshiva]

Intro and outro chords, also chorus: D - Em11/A - D - D (the Em11/A chord is all strings of the guitar open! - also you can play an A and E on the 6th and 5th strings) - sets up the harmony beautifully - OK to jam in B minor pentatonic (B Aeolian)! OK!

[@hunternewton8216]

I in joy the detailed descriptions that you have added! it helps to highlight the magic within

As far as I am concerned yes '77 but tTHIS IS AMAZING!!!

[@jlglex99]

I guess the white pants and the wolf guitar were used to prove that they were not the Grateful Dead, but actually the Warlocks!

I love this song -- their version rivals Dylan's on Blonde on Blonde. It seems like Bobby has an affinity for Dead songs, which can be somewhat dense.

this song is on Highway 61 Revisited.

[@jz677]

Bill Graham handed me a ticket close to showtime; girl I was w/ took it outta my hand on the pretense of looking at it - then ran off into the show. I had even gone & helped her when her van broke down on Chesapeake Bay Bridge. She then locked our van door. Bill came back later yelling at me 'cuz he thought I had sold it. I said, no she took it outta my hand on the pretense of looking at it & ran in the show...:/. He said, "That ticket was for YOU!!! ". He was so pissed. I was so sad. I asked if he had another. He said No, and walked off all pissed. So, I sat by the fountain on nice boomers, locked out of van after she locked it, not wanting her stuff to get stolen - ironic, huh? Then, she enjoyed the show, and came out bragging about the sick setlist. Dang girls trifling w/ my shit. It's like a theme!! (~};D. Got in next night.

[@jrc7660]

🎶Had to Learn the hard way to let her pass by let her pass by🎶 Thats a tough one to hear there kid. Like you said tho u was in the second night and for me that's the One anyways Been there and can empathize with ya.

[@richardhowell9168]

Shocks me too! Highest I’ve seen him make was number 12 in rolling stone one yr. Seems like Hendrix always gets # 1. Hendrix good but he’s not in the same league as Jerry!

no one does dylan like the dead, i agree the dead do it right to the point it takes on a life of its own makin it a dead song apart from dylan versions, together(dylan&the dead) it gets overworked at best...too much of a great thing

I mean Jerry played perfect for Bobby, Phil, Ditto... My comments should be more drastic....

[@billmcintosh220]

I often wondered what Alex Lifeson could have done with a Bob Weir type Rhythm on guitar, Crazy Dyslexic chords. oh the Jams. Speaking of Rhythm guitarist front men. I've seen Kiss since '75. Paul Stanley, say what you want, NEVER mailed it in. Just sayin'.

[@dougshelby4981]

Great... Kinda wondering about the different guitar Jerry's playing... even though it sounds tuned pretty much like the rat.

[@nedrobinson7490]

Welcome. That’s called Wolf, the first guitar Doug Irwin luthiered for Jerry. Used onstage and in studio 73-74, & 78, and then retired until these shows in ‘89, IIRC. So, busting that thing out again was a ‘big deal’ in the scene at the time, and another symbolic throwback to their history, like the billed band name; at least for these 2 shows, this wasnt the ‘Grateful Dead’, but rather “The Warlocks”: some parallel universe, alternate version of the Dead.
