Jerry Garcia Band - Simple Twist Of Fate-10/10/78

[@avictorbell2835]

It was my 20th birthday the day this was recorded, here I am almost 66 and still listening to the master at work

[@josephsheehan7220]

This concert was 7 days before my 18th birthday as a senior in high school and I appreciated Jerry so much in this timeframe that it bordered on being embarrassing. Here I am almost 44 years later and my affection for this music has not subsided. It seems timeless to me and the extent of my affection is still embarrassing- haha.

[@nedrobinson7490]

No shame zone. When you get confused, just listen to the music play, and forget all the rest 🙏

[@lefjasernbla5000]

Jerry always had a way with Dylan tunes. He was a true musical genius to say the least. Thanks Jerry; I am Forever Grateful!

[@Perromedico]

So true . Jerry could express Dylan...

[@stephenhenion8304]

We saw Jerry a bunch of times from 1975 thru 1985. I heard him do this song alot. Great cover!

[@davesteelss3454]

Like the song of a broken heart chalking it up to a simple twist of fate to deal with the sadness within. Jerry sings it strait. But his playing reveals the true heartache with beautifully placed minor notes and his runs around the fretboard. Genius is often the manifestation of sadness I suppose.

[@archstanton_live]

suppose so

[@Karmakatt6]

Ironically, songs like Bertha are quite happy. Jerry must be schizophrenic as he can whip into extremes so naturally ❤ 🎸 💀

[@samuelscamacca]

God blessed us with jerry for a short while, and he lives on in his music.

[@gusgerlop]

I was lucky enough to see him during the late 80s and he still played these Dylans songs like no one else,,,i say lucky cause im from south america and just lived in the states a couple of years...amd found out about him because a girl i´ve met a summer while i was supossed to be 20000 kilometers away form there... just a simple twist of fate---

[@southernswimbait]

Oh Jerry, how sweet it was. My goodness is this a fabulous performance. You can hear the youth in his voice. Thank you Jerry.

[@Squizzle1000]

Omg!!! Yes

[@clolosardocharlesalado6566]

Jerry, man, then. Jerry, angel, now. And may YOU play, forever. AMEN.

[@lindarobison7830]

Tis the season to be grateful

[@archstanton_live]

AMEN

[@kymoody11]

jerry, all I can say is: thank you. thank you so much

[@susangoodrich9874]

My simple twist of fate was meeting my husband Steve and him introducing me to the Dead.

[@garryfounds]

Die hard Dylan fan/snob here. But…damn…Jerry nails it. Love this version. It's just different. Not worse. Not better. Just different…and beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[@aliasdyln33]

To: Garry Founds - I feel sorry for you however (re: fan/snob reference). See, Bob Dylan and Jerry Garcia (R.I.P.) are both Heaven's gift's to all of us. Though Jerry is now singing to the Angels-in-the-sky, Bob has the burden of just performing all his songwriting gems to us peons-on Earth. One day, though, we'll all just be 'going going gone'. Treasure them all, including the great Tom Petty!

Sitting here in limbo

[@veneta72]

jerry was the best interpreter of Dylan tunes and as one of my buddies mentioned, probably a better interpreter than Dylan himself on most occasions in voice and always on guitar. they grew into themselves w/ jerry's playing. sometimes it takes two.

[@unacat09]

Garcia, Dylan and Neil Young are my holy trinity.

[@roalziroalzi]

@@aliasdyln33 ¿¿¿¿ HEAVEN ???? NO EXISTS...... DEATH IS THE END ¡¡¡

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

[@makisupadude1241]

Love hearing them call out the chord numbers, always good to hear real live music

[@TheDeadhead56]

[@joelracicot3332]

I really love this. Thank you, Jerry.

[@Ownviainternet]

Beautiful. I have no other way of describing this

[@monkeybuttbutt9346]

Friends ask me hey I'm going to see this band why don't you come along I was 16 now 54 it was a simple twist of fate don't regret any of it

[@urbandigs]

[@lindarobison7830]

Dont forget jimmy cliff

"What wondrous life is this I lead! Ripe apples drop upon my head The luscious clusters of the vine Upon my mouth do crush their wine The nectarine and curious peach Into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling on melons as I pass Ensnared with flowers, I fall on the grass (Andrew Marvell - 17th century)

[@derekbone2533]

Jerry got it all so right.awesome cover of bobby..love it!

[@SnowTheJamMan]

See guys, Keith could still play well in '78, i guess he was just more comfortable in JGB during this time

[@IAMGERMAN087]

LOVE IT thank you Jerry❤😊

[@craigmaggard8343]

So absolutely beautiful!!!

[@WoutervanTiel]

what a great version to groove out on, get your instrument out and close your eyes, jam along. super!

[@Karmakatt6]

Been playing Bass for 7 years. 6 of them along almost exclusively with Jerry. Life is good.

[@jeh5249]

Rhythm, tempo, melody, timing and inflection...

[@michaelmcintire8781]

Makes perfection, I've heard quite a few that come close to this version, yet to find it.

[@travelin4light]

Still missin the man.

[@charliemelkonian3047]

Some people say everyone plays Dylan songs better than Dylan but nobody plays them like Jerry!

[@dillonwolf85]

This is awesome. He did a great job on this one. Love ya Jerry.

[@darius595]

I like when artists change the words slightly to songs, it's gives more of a personal feel to it.

[@TheDeadhead56]

i can go to sleep listening to this. soul soothing and calming. who needs benzos?

[@pattiruffo14]

Ain't that the truth. I have tears in my eyes right now.

[@NancyDrewe]

Nice one, thanks. One of Jerry's best Dylan covers, imho, and with a great backing band to boot. :))

[@jeffvisger169]

people say it's a sin to know and feel too much within I do believe she was my twin...

Jerry was the best of the era he dominated Ron Stackler Malibu, CA a neighbor of Bob Dylan

[@jeffriley2218]

Nice drumming from Buzz

[@charliemelkonian3047]

Keith hardly played like this with the Dead!

[@timothybyrne5640]

Bob rules!

[@VJBlues]

Why is this video lock with license ? Unable to download for the public ? I can't believe it ... !!!

[@michaelmcintire8781]

Has a little something to do with a certain circle of greedy people, well within the corporate circle of the dead.

[@MsRevolution2013]

pure liquid-25!!! Jer just get's nasty on the guitar.

[@pattiruffo14]

Ditto!

[@gdstafford]
