    I have to come back to this version at least once a week. Mission in the Rain epitomizes the melancholy jerry. This version being the most soulful and the most painful version. Jerry is playing his heart out here and he brings down the house.... "ten years ago I walked these streets my dreams were wide and tall. Tonight I would be thankful lord for any dream at all"... I mean who can't identify with this? Who doesn't wish they did something different? Who feels beat down all the time by life? But the mission always looks the same...

      @@stephanlarsen8169 I LOVE THE GD's 1976 versions of this song. Along with "Rueben & Cherise", Mission is one of my favorite songs ever.
      I was fortunate to catch an EPIC version at my first JGB show at SDSU's Open Air Amphitheater, one mile from my home when I was 15 years old. "Cats > Mission" opener. I had just seen my first GD show less than a month earlier at Irvine Meadows. Incredible "Sugaree" & one of the greatest "China Cat Sunflower " > "I Know You Rider"s" Eva. The way Jerry teases or repeats the beginning notes over & over is so cool. The soundboard sounds phenomenal!!!! My only "Built To Last" too. A song I really loved. If I was just a little older I would have dropped out of school & gone to last Frost & Greek shows but it wasn't meant to be.

      @lawrencejoseph1014 7 лет назад +2

      Ah well, one person's precision, is another first step down the road of sloppiness! I think I was at this show. If you compare it with the Mission in the Rain from 2 years earlier ,same venue, you can here here Jerry's slow, long decline into drug-induced sloppiness. His sense of attack, rhythm and articulation are starting to get away from him, and his melodic lines become shorted and more hesitant. Don' t get me wrong, I LOVE this, but it is the beginning of the end....

      Lawrence Joseph - No question that 3/17/1978 was a much better show especially this tune! John and Jerry and smiling and in the grove with Maria and even Donna sounding good! Check it out and compare! Jerry was using Wolf that night versus Tiger here! Just one's opinion who went to so many JGB shows I lost count just like Dead shows all through 70's until it ended in 1995!

Each player takes up the perfect amount of space, holds back, but the sound is still huge. Also, this song highlight's Jerry's quite nice use of his upper vocal register. Please share.

      @@maybeioverreacted4504 exactly... most people weren't meant to get it, if you believe in God being all knowing and all powerful. I honestly was made to achieve the second step through this band. A higher power guiding everything and leading into these things happening... I mean, the odds of us having this sort of consciousness and being permitted to something known as the psychedelic experience is a rare enough treat, let alone the marvelous magical wonders of nature and her patterns... but I'm not out to prove the existence of God to anyone, no such thing needs to be done as belief in God (well, the kind I believe in) is not necessary to achieve salvation or a better kind of life, whether it's through increased understanding and awareness or the felt presence of direct experience improving, nothing important really happens, in my view, once you start believing in God. Those beliefs can stagnate just as much as empower a person. But I'm totally rambling, that's what weed will make you do lol. To me, God represents order and creation, and even in the most chaotic of systems, there is actually the finest and most intricate form of order we cannot even perceive. The entire universe and all of its happenings make sense; you just have to make sense of it if it doesn't seem that way. I dig your username, btw, that is an uncommonly mentioned character out of one of their best songs.
