    Turn 70 soon. Does my heart good to see the young music scene today.....people like Billy, Avetts, Old Crowe, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers and a lot more. I go to concerts a lot more now because these folks are real musicians

    Fabulous. He opened up with this at a little festival in Pittsburgh years back. It was cold and raing sideways. Billy walked out on stage and threw a bunch of ponchos out to the crowd and then started jamming this song. It was fucking incredible.

      This isn't even Jerry's tune. If I am not mistaken it is an old folk tune from England with artist unknown. Can you imagine the life that tune has had? It still brings goosebumps to those who hear it. What a gift the writer has given us. Can you imagine if he or she could know what a life it has had? Could you imagine the satisfaction that would come from authoring a tune like this?

    Ugh this frustrates me beyond belief.
    I have the maddest admiration for this band but the first concert I went to was just too persistent with affects, catered heavily on psychedelic tones. Overall just intensely aggressive. It was given no room to breath. Im not implying I dont want to avoid psychedelic accents, and sure dont want to expect from Billy, but id give my last testicle to hear this.

    Beautiful. Almost as nice as Garcia's take on the tune. Sorry... Billy is truly great but I'm hopeless when it comes to Jerry's music. That totally unique voice on both his guitar and his singing was perfect for this genre of music ( and others of course)!
