Could take minutes, could take years but one moment you will "get it" out of the blue. It will just click. This isn't music you listen to. It's music you feel in your heart and soul.
Exactly! I went to the show before Jerrys last one. I wasn't impressed. I was growing up in the grunge era and listened to them for about 20 years. Then the dead just clicked. Now it's all I listen to. Literally
I've listened to the Dead for 50 years, and this is the heroin ridden Garcia, very aged for a 50 years old, who has lost his musical imagination, just running through his technique, which used to be the brush strokes of many a masterpiece. A good Peggy-O is Dukes University.
Luckily I got this seconds into my first show its was ratdog opening for Allman bros in 08 I know it's not the glory years but bobby sang dear prudence that night n the moon came out to play from behind a sea of clouds at the perfect time n I knew this is where I was supposed to be as often as possible
@@johncarden8985 I agree with this but it's still so touching when he sings his ballads or sad songs with the soul of a run down 70 year old who really only 50 year old and can feel the pain, but heroin has ruined many a men n I'm not ashamed to say I have the same problem jerry had. 4 n half years clean n counting tho
I would like to dedicate this song to one of Grateful Deads fans who passed away on June 28, 2020. She traveled across the country following them for years. Annie, you will be missed in more ways than you will ever know. I miss you and I love you.
I became a jerrys kid in 89”. I was a homeless unwanted kid at 15 years old on the streets of San Fran addicted to heroin and I found the dead and 235 + shows later I still get chills and cry when I think of the fat man and how they saved my life
leshtricity God creates and Satan destroys!!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s drugs,alcohol, or sex!!!! It breaks my heart to see the homeless who are addicted to these things!!! Satan takes pleasure in all of this! I am close to 60 years old and many of my friends have divorced for selfish reasons!
@@shanemccann5885 I hear you there, take a look at the DTES in Vancouver BC four square blocks of misery, mental health issues, homeless people. And they ARE people that need our help
I've been a fan for as long as I can remember, but I never knew this song. My mom's name is Peggy, she went Home on 4/4/15...I miss her more than words can express. This is a beautiful song and it is perfect for my momma and Poppy!
My "Dead Era" runs about '1982 to 1991. I've watched this one, later performance, dozens of times because the darkness cracks and some of the old starlight blasts out. It seems like Jerry throws this solo to the ages, a last farewell. Better stop watching tonight, or the kids'll wonder why my eyes are glistening.
I once told a friend that Jerry's voice felt like an old man telling a story from long ago. I'll never stop missing him. Thanks for posting this, ccdw0404!
+Bongo Dave Nice! I like that. His voice does sound like an old man telling a story, timeless. I use to like the spacey guitar jams but have definitely gained appreciation for his singing. So much emotion and inflection
True, Im excited to see Dead and Company on June 23, already got my lawn tickets. Saw them 11/6 at Verizon Center DC and that was cool. Love how I can go see that show or all the last tour on you tube
Thanks Jer. You and the Grateful Dead helped me along a path that I'm so glad I followed. You shaped me into being the person I am today. 16 years.....wow...
I was there. All of 16 years old…..I can’t thank my parents enough for my upbringing. Dead show 12 hours away?! Sure! They were completely checked out…but, this was the experience of my life. Thanks for being checked out mom and dad
I’m ten and loved the dead since I was 5 my mom and uncle loved the dead and would keep the car on listening to it .Peggy o was my first song and it was like drugs because I be came addicted to the dead and now I’m a dead head. I wish you could see all your fans now jerry g
It’s funny…I was singing this to myself last night and was curious about the history of the song. I googled it this morning and this was the top result. Next thing you know, I’m a sobbing mess. This was my first show. Went with a pair of dear friends. Hard to believe it’s been almost 30 years.
i love how this guy can just wake up and go on stage with short shorts, a random purple t shirt, and sandals and still be like the coolest damn dude ever..
coolest dude indeed …and he was not just any guy as you know …he was able to bring out the parts of us who we truly are and wanted to always be and when we were there it was there ….it was that thing we knew back then…and now …there are only tears and broken dreams and shattered years… but Bobby said we should remember his life and celebrate what he brought here… I do this …but cannot help but cry so many tears at times …and one day I think I’ll just get up and fly away.
I taught English for about 3 years in the Gulf States - Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Oman - and to be honest the daily boredom is brutal. All Islam all the time. So overcome this headache, I took long bike rides into the desert and downloaded every Grateful Dead songs, listened and cruised: hence I know Pretty Peggy O.
Thanks. Gave me a good laugh. I'm sure this would go over big in one of the Arab states. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna trademark the name and establish a big sales presence in Saudia Arabia. "Aloha Snackbar". It's the only snack bar recognized by Muhammad the Prophet, may his blessed dessert shine down on you. /|\
Jerry is the only person outside of family, and friends who's death makes me feel such sorrow every timeIi see his soul through his art. I genuinely miss him. There has been no one else that comes across so sincere through their music. Nobody else performs directly through their feelings as Jerry did. Never the same way twice. The truest form of performing music, and also the rarest.
No words can describe how The Grateful Dead make me feel. I am to young to have seen Jerry but MAN do they hit me right in the heart everytime. God bless them all and may Jerry rest in peace in the big gig in the sky
This song... almost made me burst into tears in a public library. Such soul, passion, even in failing health and the murky depths of heroin addiction... He just sings from the heart, even with the end drawing ever so near... such bittersweet beauty in this song! God bless you Jerry Garcia, your music has blessed all those who listen!
rangnyid rangnyid really? This version whether showing signs of fatigue or not he plays well. He also shows signs of pure soul, creativity and artistic expression.
I live my life with no regrets. That being said, a true story... I had the opportunity to purchase a ticket to this '94 Dead show from a high school teacher of mine, I passed on the ticket. I never saw The Dead. No regrets in my life, but I should have went to the show. Thanks for sharing this video!
has it been 20yrs already, I can still close my eyes and remember the last show I was at, an early sunday show at the Shoreline, setting sun as the boys played on...
god this is one of the best versions of this song and it sounds so good. i have this on vhs and not seen it for a while because i have no vhs player anymore. I have the whole show, but now i guess many others do as well, as well as many of the other shows i have. never be another band like the dead
i agree with you 100%. Also i have a pair of really good headphones i use and it sounds great but of course being there was nothing like anything we can use to hear that special moment.
My life has been a dark hole lately, and this morning I heard Jerry belting it out on the radio, it was that moment I realized that the light was shining and it was Jerry that was missing in my life...amazing how a little Jerry can brighten a darken world
I always come back to this tune. Jerry has a way of grounding me and putting everything back into perspective again. Forever grateful for his musicianship and love for it all. Miss you man!
went back to thumbs up asecond time. had to sort that out. BTW, Thomas Hardy was distinguished by his connection with music. He broke down ever time he heard certain songs. One of our greatest writers of all time.
If i said it once,or a thousand times...its not enough!...This Peggy-O is overwhelmingly fabulous!!..The solo alone,deserves a Grammy!..and the tone of his voice was perfect on this nite...He sounds so soothing and trusting.So much better than early era Jerry,his voice aged like a fine wine...(in a bottle with a few cracks)
Our friend Jerry has about a hear left to live and look at the guy pouring his soul into his work here. What a professional. Love and miss you jerry! thanks
Today is Sunday and once again, big brother from the Excelsior District, took me to church. My tears prove that you were among the many kind souls who helped me realize I had one too. Like you and Them, I too try to pass it along when I get a hit of something good, and when I forget or get a tad greedy, somehow a gentle reminder finds me. From my Heart, Thank All of You!
The Grateful Dead gave their audiences something that has never been duplicated. The most important thing at a Dead concert was the "vibe", a group conscienceness on a molecular level. I first experienced it at an August 1968 concert at the Shrine expo in L.A. Probably 3/4 ths of the crowd were high on acid and through the magic of Jerry Garcia, everyone was of one mind and conscienceness. Long live the good ole Grateful Dead.
I'm 29 years old and recently discovered The Grateful Dead. The first song I listened to was Ripple. I fell in love with the passion from the group and the song its self. Now I understand the huss and fuss about Jerry Garcia. Touch of Grey i heard all the time but had no idea and Peggy O rocks too!
This video brings rears to my eyes. I was at this show, and 94 came the realization that the scene was cracking. Jerry so frail, but knocking what he could out of the park! I so miss the Fatman!!!
Yep, this is exactly how I remember it! I've said over the years, I've only seen the Grateful Dead play 2 times, both in '94, Vegas, and I will never forget how peaceful the wind looked through Jerry's hair, on his guitar~
94 was so depressing, Jerry looks like he wants nothing to do with that stage...looks so beat down and sad...was never the same after Brent passed away
It's still hard to not cry when I hear this. Probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Thank you for everything, Jerry, you are so missed!
I keep watching this video every so often. It just makes me happy. Remembering the good feelings and the good times and the good friends and all possibilities for the future. And such a simple song. a fable with a melody.
I am 46 years old and a new fan. This was the first song introduced to me... I knew I was hooked as soon as the 1st teardrop fell and the goose bumps rose .💀🌹💟
i miss Jerry everyday, a song for every mood and every song a mood changer, its funny that most of the comments come from people to young to have seen him but i am glad that he still touches peoples heart strings the way he touched mine! God bless Jerry, God bless The Grateful Dead, and God bless the U.S.A. I thank God that the long strange trip can be seen by a whole new generation
This brought me to tears this evening. Thinking of the many times I heard Jerry sing this. It was never one of my favorites as a young man. As an old man, I have fallen in love with this song. Thank you for posting this.
I was there, I was 28 y/o, my life changed, I had no idea who the Grateful Dead were. I thought they were some metal band. I was awed at the kindness of the people that surrounded me and absolutely amazed at how the music made me feel. Never had heard any of their music before but I just started dancing and continue to this day whenever I hear any GD. I am sad that I missed out on so many years of the Grateful Dead but blessed that I got to see them 6 times before Jerry died. Love&Miss U Jerry!
Jerry doesn't get enough credit for his guitar-playing skills. He has such a distinctive style, I can pick it out after 1 or 2 measures heard randomly. Jerry's positive impact over the years is immeasurable. I just wanna give him a big ole hug!
Suffering the pains that would take him a year later, he lays out this jewel of a Peggy-O! The incredible talent and soul of Jerry Garcia! RIP Brother.
Just beautiful. I loved that crystalline/acoustic tone he had on this tour. I saw them in Eugene right before this. You could tell he was feeling good. Fuckenmisshim.
It was my first time in Vegas. I can still remember that hot wind like it was yesterday. The lsd was strong, the music was transcendent ! No words can describe the magic of a Grateful Dead show!
Jerry's voice is filled with vulnerability, yet his mastery of his guitar makes him an immortal. Can't imagine anyone else can come close to what he had offered...
AMAZING video...Best rendention of Peggy O...Bar none !!!! Jerry, you left many treasures for us to enjoy eternally....You opened the gates to many roads that lead to infinity , feeding our minds, hearts and souls...R I P Comrade as those who travel these roads are always with you in mind and spirit !!
Jerry’s solo on this version gets me every time I listen to it for some reason. Not the cleanest at the beginning, but he ends strong. Man, I love Jer Bear!
this song got me through an extremely hard time. when my son was born he was in the hospital for 2 weeks and i blasted this the whole way there and back. love you pappy jerry NFA (~);] ❤⚡💙
I got to hang out and smoke weed with Jerry in 1975 in Albany backstage when he was playing with Merle Saunders. It was supposed to be mine...I promised Jerry some good Jamaican weed and I rolled three joints but I put them in the pocket of a shirt I was wearing and changed shirts. "No problem," said Jerry when I got backstage. "We'll smoke mine". We then got into a deep conversation and I asked him "what it felt like to be a Demi-God to Dead Heads." "I don't like to be put on a pedestal or worshipped," he said. "I'm just doing it to spread the love of music". Which led me to say "music is love" Jerry picked up on it and we were both chanting/singing "Music is Love" over and over. Jerry sang the bottom note and I sang an upper 3rd and the drummer sang a high harmony. And then we all laughed...and then I was in tears, getting to sing with and get high with my all time HERO. I haven't washed my lips since then (not true), but everything else was how it happened "one afternoon long ago".
But it sure wasn’t w Jerry back stage while we all sung harmony, I met Jerry twice in shoreline, and buckeye lake, but it was only to say duh der da duh hey bro and it was over hahaha buckeye lake I probably looked like a crazy person, I was on about a quarter sheet of family wash and 100% covered w mud, hair in dreads looking like I was electrocuted eyes the size of frizzbees smiling so hard it hurt and he just pointed back at me and smiled that huge beautiful smile and My life was completely right at that point, now that’s the truth
Found this gem in the attic bathroom in Niagara Falls: one of the best spots to hear water rushing over and my family seeing each other for some of the best crazy fun times

Amen. Took a few years of having friends make me listen to the Dead until, one day, like you said, the penny dropped and I've never looked back.

No, doubt.. this has to be one of the best videos of jerry of all time... i've probably watched this one a 100 times or more.....
I’d like to believe that when I get to heaven I will get to meet Jerry and he will play this song for me.
The flying spaghetti monster will make sure it happens.

Jerry's playing reminds me of the sun coming up on a beautiful day.
I visualize that exactly this way myself
An apt description. For me, it's like the flowing waters of a river taking me to the ocean.
Wonderful. For me, it's always been birds swirling and flitting in and amongst the trees as they sing in the forest
I love to look at the comment section of Grateful Dead videos. There is so much love and good vibes - the way it should be.
Feel the same brother this is where we find our peace in a cruel bad world

My "Dead Era" runs about '1982 to 1991. I've watched this one, later performance, dozens of times because the darkness cracks and some of the old starlight blasts out. It seems like Jerry throws this solo to the ages, a last farewell. Better stop watching tonight, or the kids'll wonder why my eyes are glistening.
OMG I miss Jerry so much-we used this song as our first dance song.....watching this makes my teary eyed-poor Jerry-you are loved....
God do I miss this guys voice and abilities...I still tear up at the thought that "He's Gone"
Jerry still makes me cry. How can one man be so beautiful and create such magic? It's astonishing. Sitting here with tears right now. ♥️🥹

+Bongo Dave Nice! I like that. His voice does sound like an old man telling a story, timeless. I use to like the spacey guitar jams but have definitely gained appreciation for his singing. So much emotion and inflection

True, Im excited to see Dead and Company on June 23, already got my lawn tickets. Saw them 11/6 at Verizon Center DC and that was cool. Love how I can go see that show or all the last tour on you tube
but the story still applies to
today.
I saw him 6 times. That's nothing compared to the deadheads but I still cherish everyone of them. Love you Jerry!
How can you not weep at this beautiful song by our dear departed, Jerry?! The guitar solo from 1:53 to 3:41 is so sweet!
I`ve written the same regarding his solo. It`s just beautiful and so thoughtful.
I cant stop listening to this just for the solo
Just remembered how much peace this song provides my soul

There has been no one else that comes across so sincere through their music. Nobody else performs directly through their feelings as Jerry did. Never the same way twice. The truest form of performing music, and also the rarest.
Hard to pick a favorite, but this one is right up there.

If someone has a better version I’ll listen
I don't hear tiredness...I hear "I'm alive, and I'll remind you that you're too."
Fucking beautiful
Amen brother
6 minutes of beautiful, deep in your soul chords that when coupled with that Voice, telling this story - sends it to otherworldly places. RIP Jerry.
No words can describe how The Grateful Dead make me feel. I am to young to have seen Jerry but MAN do they hit me right in the heart everytime. God bless them all and may Jerry rest in peace in the big gig in the sky
Is there anything better than the tears Jerry could bring to the soul behind your eyes? Silly question.
Michael Crowe No there certainly isn't.

I was at this show. Jerry, happy birthday, and thanks for all the great songs and memories...Your missed and loved....Rock on!
one of the greatest if not THE most BEAUTIFUL solo of all time...
This.
serious? pretty uninspiered fiddling and played by a Jerry that is showing obvious signs of fatigue

How sad that 167 people didn’t like this. They’ve missed the boat. This is amazing
lookin at his hair blow in the wind....gives me the chills!!!
It was 117 degrees that day in Las Vegas
I was thinking about that moment, you get a more in depth feel watching it on a screen when you see wind.
@@waydehollis9562 I was thinking it must have been hot with his clothes and plenty of fans blowing! 117 + the lights!

Miss him so much
I totally agree 😂
has it been 20yrs already, I can still close my eyes and remember the last show I was at, an early sunday show at the Shoreline, setting sun as the boys played on...
Shoreline was my last show too...❤️😥
It's not about the lyrics. It's the music, power and love he puts behind it.
Iburndowncities lyrics too
The lyrics hit some of my favorite storytelling by the man himself
It's about all of it, together.
So darn good 😊
god this is one of the best versions of this song and it sounds so good. i have this on vhs and not seen it for a while because i have no vhs player anymore. I have the whole show, but now i guess many others do as well, as well as many of the other shows i have. never be another band like the dead
and those Vegas shows were good, hot but good.
People were literally dancing til they dropped.... from heat stroke.
me too. the solo brings tears everytime i hear it. it's just gorgeous and thoughtful.
i agree with you 100%. Also i have a pair of really good headphones i use and it sounds great but of course being there was nothing like anything we can use to hear that special moment.
I was there too! Awesome, thanks for posting. 16 years now and the hole is still large. Miss you Jerry! Thanks for everything.
My life has been a dark hole lately, and this morning I heard Jerry belting it out on the radio, it was that moment I realized that the light was shining and it was Jerry that was missing in my life...amazing how a little Jerry can brighten a darken world
Gives me chills every time
I always come back to this tune. Jerry has a way of grounding me and putting everything back into perspective again. Forever grateful for his musicianship and love for it all. Miss you man!

This predates Robert Hunter by a few centuries
I saw this! Sam Boyd Silverbowl. Thank you for posting this! This is awesome! Thank You thank you!

If this doesn't move you to tears you have no soul.

I'm 29 years old and recently discovered The Grateful Dead. The first song I listened to was Ripple. I fell in love with the passion from the group and the song its self. Now I understand the huss and fuss about Jerry Garcia. Touch of Grey i heard all the time but had no idea and Peggy O rocks too!
This video brings rears to my eyes. I was at this show, and 94 came the realization that the scene was cracking. Jerry so frail, but knocking what he could out of the park! I so miss the Fatman!!!
Yep, this is exactly how I remember it! I've said over the years, I've only seen the Grateful Dead play 2 times, both in '94, Vegas, and I will never forget how peaceful the wind looked through Jerry's hair, on his guitar~
@J. Dee Hobbs I think you meant jerry
94 was so depressing, Jerry looks like he wants nothing to do with that stage...looks so beat down and sad...was never the same after Brent passed away
It's still hard to not cry when I hear this. Probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Thank you for everything, Jerry, you are so missed!
I keep watching this video every so often. It just makes me happy. Remembering the good feelings and the good times and the good friends and all possibilities for the future. And such a simple song. a fable with a melody.
I am 46 years old and a new fan. This was the first song introduced to me... I knew I was hooked as soon as the 1st teardrop fell and the goose bumps rose .💀🌹💟
Susanne Hatton welco
So much love it brings tears to your eyes.
forreal
3:17 when he ditches the pick for that finger action. Goat!
Quave Glass man you can feel it man, completely different sound and he straight slays it bro, gives ya goosebumps
i miss Jerry everyday, a song for every mood and every song a mood changer, its funny that most of the comments come from people to young to have seen him but i am glad that he still touches peoples heart strings the way he touched mine! God bless Jerry, God bless The Grateful Dead, and God bless the U.S.A. I thank God that the long strange trip can be seen by a whole new generation
Sorta you are sorta good and very kind . So God bless you too😇
This brought me to tears this evening. Thinking of the many times I heard Jerry sing this. It was never one of my favorites as a young man. As an old man, I have fallen in love with this song. Thank you for posting this.
I was there, I was 28 y/o, my life changed, I had no idea who the Grateful Dead were. I thought they were some metal band. I was awed at the kindness of the people that surrounded me and absolutely amazed at how the music made me feel. Never had heard any of their music before but I just started dancing and continue to this day whenever I hear any GD. I am sad that I missed out on so many years of the Grateful Dead but blessed that I got to see them 6 times before Jerry died. Love&Miss U Jerry!
That is SO beautiful - Jerry's solo is wonderful.... ooo wow, I feel all emotional.
AMAZING SOLO!!
Yes'um 😀
One of my favorite versions of a favorite song; hits that sweet spot everytime I hear it...RIP Jerry
Jerry doesn't get enough credit for his guitar-playing skills. He has such a distinctive style, I can pick it out after 1 or 2 measures heard randomly. Jerry's positive impact over the years is immeasurable. I just wanna give him a big ole hug!
This makes me cry. I love Jerry but it's so hard to watch. I miss him
Suffering the pains that would take him a year later, he lays out this jewel of a Peggy-O! The incredible talent and soul of Jerry Garcia! RIP Brother.
Just beautiful. I loved that crystalline/acoustic tone he had on this tour. I saw them in Eugene right before this. You could tell he was feeling good. Fuckenmisshim.
Hands down greatest Peggy-O of all time. So much emotion from Jerry
He looks like he's in emotional pain over these simple lyrics....
how anyone doesn't think that song is amazing, dont know shit. I love it and miss you Jerry so much, u Da Man
It was my first time in Vegas. I can still remember that hot wind like it was yesterday. The lsd was strong, the music was transcendent ! No words can describe the magic of a Grateful Dead show!
Jerry's voice is filled with vulnerability, yet his mastery of his guitar makes him an immortal. Can't imagine anyone else can come close to what he had offered...
YOU KNOW OUR LOVE WILL NOT FADE AWAY. IT JUST GROWS BIGGER AND SOMETIMES SLIPS OUT AND FLOATS AROUND ME AND THEN IT COMES BACK BIGGER.
The most beautiful solo I have ever heard from Jerry!
What a master he was. I miss him so much.
AMAZING video...Best rendention of Peggy O...Bar none !!!! Jerry, you left many treasures for us to enjoy eternally....You opened the gates to many roads that lead to infinity , feeding our minds, hearts and souls...R I P Comrade as those who travel these roads are always with you in mind and spirit !!
I love the way Jerry Garcia sings this beautiful and much loved song. A V G D thank you.
Bob Weir's background guitar is just perfect.
Jerry’s solo on this version gets me every time I listen to it for some reason. Not the cleanest at the beginning, but he ends strong. Man, I love Jer Bear!
Yep, that was a tear jerking Peggy O!
this song got me through an extremely hard time. when my son was born he was in the hospital for 2 weeks and i blasted this the whole way there and back. love you pappy jerry NFA (~);] ❤⚡💙
I responded to this video years ago, and still listening. Tears to my eyes and joy!!!
I got to hang out and smoke weed with Jerry in 1975 in Albany backstage when he was playing with Merle Saunders. It was supposed to be mine...I promised Jerry some good Jamaican weed and I rolled three joints but I put them in the pocket of a shirt I was wearing and changed shirts. "No problem," said Jerry when I got backstage. "We'll smoke mine". We then got into a deep conversation and I asked him "what it felt like to be a Demi-God to Dead Heads." "I don't like to be put on a pedestal or worshipped," he said. "I'm just doing it to spread the love of music". Which led me to say "music is love" Jerry picked up on it and we were both chanting/singing "Music is Love" over and over. Jerry sang the bottom note and I sang an upper 3rd and the drummer sang a high harmony. And then we all laughed...and then I was in tears, getting to sing with and get high with my all time HERO. I haven't washed my lips since then (not true), but everything else was how it happened "one afternoon long ago".
The world would not be the same without jerry .. the world will never be the same without jerry . Thanks jerry.
I love Jerry too. Not as a Demi-god but because of the pure joy his music (still) gives me.
Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on this story.
I used to kick it w Merle in Binghamton ny when he would play one of the clubs here, we used to smoke every set break, brings back memories
But it sure wasn’t w Jerry back stage while we all sung harmony, I met Jerry twice in shoreline, and buckeye lake, but it was only to say duh der da duh hey bro and it was over hahaha buckeye lake I probably looked like a crazy person, I was on about a quarter sheet of family wash and 100% covered w mud, hair in dreads looking like I was electrocuted eyes the size of frizzbees smiling so hard it hurt and he just pointed back at me and smiled that huge beautiful smile and My life was completely right at that point, now that’s the truth
Damn this is giving me the feels... Rest easy Jer
Moshe 😢
Perhaps the best the Grateful Dead ever did. The national’s
cover of this is a must listen
Yes Mary !
It don't matter how bad a day i ever have, I listen to the beautiful guitar solo by Jerry and it makes happy to be alive!
I was there, this was the second set... man what a beautiful day...what a beautiful man. Peace Jerry...
ripping...I was there. it was hot, hence one of the few times Jerry was in shorts.
fire department hosing off the crowd hot
Jerry in shorts! Glad he didn't try the daisy duke's like Bobby!
Jeff D goooddd one 😂😂😂
Rest in Peace Jerry, your memory will live on in the hearts of many.
A great version of a great song. I'm grateful.
Found this gem in the attic bathroom in Niagara Falls: one of the best spots to hear water rushing over and my family seeing each other for some of the best crazy fun times
