You either got Jerry Garcia or you didn't. I am blessed I got him. Thanks for this. It's comforting to go back to the well when I'm going down the road feeling bad....
Just to hear the man play one more time...the sounds, his voice and spirit still gives me the goosebumps. Just listen to solo in this selection and let it take you back to those hot summer nights at the stadium. Some twirled, cried, smiled and even hugged the person they didnt even know standing right next to them just being happy to be there and take it all in. I truly miss those days...made me the man I am today. Proud to be a Deadhead...and always will! Thanks for the great times Jerry!
This performance stones me to my soul. I can't really say why. It just makes me peaceful inside in a way I rarely experience. I like to play this with a little red wine before turning in. Makes me think tomorrow is going to be a fantastic day. It is deeply spiritual for me almost like a prayer. I listened to the great Van Morrison sing this but he rushes through it. Garcia and his band give the space and time and piercing notes for this simple song to permeate one's soul. I think the critics here don't grasp the perfect imperfection of real art. Even my dog knows this is great and comes over to enjoy it and fantasize about chasing rabbits. Thanks Harry.
Absolutely love it. One of my top five favorite songs ever written. Especially this version. I play it all the time when I Dj and people absolutely love it, not to mention it's over nine minutes long which gives me five minutes to go get stoned and four minutes to listen to the kick ass ending. Jerry is missed by many, forgotten by few and is a legend in the music business forever. It doesn't matter what any haters say. He was amazing and there will never be another like him....
So wonderful; this captures the strange mix of quiet joy and sadness of nostalgia and fond memories of times gone. Well, van usually does that for me - no-one else can write music that can get right into your soul like that; Jerry gives it the perfect expression.
rachel marie can’t worry about the upside down eagles that fly this earth they will loose their way soon one day sistuh stay kind in your heart that’s our was peace
Never paid any attention to these guys when they were in their prime. MY LOSS. Mr Garcia seems like a genuine item. Plays and sings with a lot of soul, without the antiseptic look and feel of today's artists. Never knew what a good guitarist he was. Gone way too early like so many other genuine items of his era. But he left a legacy I can pick up on and enjoy in a retrospective way. Glad I finally caught on. Hope deadheads will welcome me to the party even though I'm about 40-50 years late.
I love when he smiles when he plays; I interpret that sheer enjoyment for where he is in the moment. And in this moment I am taking healing from that. Thank you everyday Jerry, Melvin, Gloria, Shirley. Zach, Paul, and all contributors for keeping spirit alive through music.
He shore was happy as a pig in shit realy anjoying him self that night I know I was thair it was around the time we. Lost Brett love ya jer realy miss ya and Brett both of you are very spechal
the silence in the room when he breaks off into a solo is a such a reverent and magical thing, what than man could do with six strings and couple of frets... still missin him
Jerry was my idol. He brought me so much joy and laughter. I remember the JGB at the stone in San Francisco, what a joy that was, I don't follow or admire many people, but Jerry I admired and followed. Damm life without his vibe is very dull. Thank god for these old videos.
I do agree. But, so were the years 65 thru 89, and also 92 thru 95. It just was, that's all. Legion of Mary held its own too. They stoned me, to my soul.
I'm honoring Jerry tonight by listening to JGB ... This is one of my favorites. The more I seek out and listen to Jerry's music the more I realize how much he contributed, and how good and soulful a singer/player he was. Mike, David's dad.
Heard the tribute tonight from a distance at Merriweather in Columbia! Loved the music, and many 55+ from my complex were there. They remembered the lyrics to! :)
The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues Fourteen years ago, I began writing The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues. It's the only book that combines all of Jerry's side band dates and the Grateful Dead's dates together by venue. Alphabetically by state, there are over 1300 venues that include rehearsal, recording, performance, living spaces and planned/canceled show venues. The history of each venue is here including architects, builders, owners, opening night performances and other notable appearances, murals, statues, stage prosceniums, backstage areas, pipe organs, secret rooms, hidden tunnels, restorations and demolitions. Jerry's history at each venue includes the bands he played with, setlists, opening acts and other information giving the reader an idea of what went down at every date on every tour. In many cases via dated photos, what guitar Jerry was playing, and other anecdotal stuff that we love to read. I've added eyewitness reports to as many specific dates as possible. These are numerous, hysterical and heartwarming. Thus far I‘ve collected over 1120 hi res venue photos approved by over 900 photographers. I've utilized college and public library special collections, historical societies, museums, Flickr and others. There aren't any Jerry photos, I have photos of the venues themselves to highlight where he played. Jerry owned over 130 musical instruments in his lifetime, giving away most of them. It's all chronicled in a 300 page section called Jerry's Musical Instruments. Envision a two volume, 2400 page set protected in a slipcase, similar to an old bible. This is a book that resembles the records kept for medieval pilgrimages to holy sites. People will want to know centuries from now where it all took place...so there ya go! On June 3rd the Kickstarter campaign launches with a cool little video starring me, and Jerry! That's where you can get the pre-purchase discount. I need your help to reach my goal in order to print this fantastic book. If I’m successful the book will be printed and ready in March 2024.
Jerry, I will never forget you looking over your top of your glasses and smiling at me. Your music moved my soul from the first note until the last. RIP My friend. You are truly missed.
I was lucky enough to watch this band develop (late '65) from a fairly sloppy stoner band into a cultural and musical force. The band just got better as the years went on. RIP, Jerry. Superb solo on this song- lyrical, musical, right.
I always thought this is one of the best VM songs there was. I remember tripping to it one day and thinking wow i wonder if jerry ever covered this, almost or as fun to listen to as jerry's "visions of johanna"
this song is one of my favs of the many many great covers Jerry chose to grace us with, the solos on this tune were always so beautious thanks for posting and keeping that man's incredible spirit alive
This was a nice little mini JGB tour. After the Werewolves of Oakland shows over Halloween when Bill Graham died and Grace Slick’s house burned down in the Fire On The Mountain we all took off to see the Jerry Band. The Chicago-Milwaukee-Minneapolis final shows were all great highlighted by a very blusey Lay Down Sally in Milwaukee and a relatively rare JGB encore at the final show in Minneapolis, featuring Wonderful World (Sachmo not Cooke)
You did not need drugs when you went to see the jerry garcea band the music was the drug his playing just blue you away made all the every day bull shit of the world just disepair if just for a little while I Realy miss jer he was realy special truly a gift from god jer had his demonds in life to deal with like every one else but he still gave us his all because he realy caired about the human race
oh my god!THANK YOU JERRY!!!THANK YOU SLIPNUTT!!!THANK YOU VAN!!!this just made my day about ten times better!Ive now seen jerry play three of my favorite songs from some of my favorite artists.THANK YOU WORLD!!!
One of the best 90s Jerry Garcia band I have heard. He Sounds great. Excellent cover choice. And agree with other post - like how took his time with it. Morrisons original version went too fast
I met him in tuhunga park didnt know whi he was i ran away from nc to be a rockstar and i was hangin out with the biggest star of all time ...lol....we got high and he played guitar and i sang he was the coolest but at the time he was a nobody and maybe thats why he liked me
You either got Jerry Garcia or you didn't. I am blessed I got him. Thanks for this. It's comforting to go back to the well when I'm going down the road feeling bad....
hope you're still listening
@@stucoOf course!!!
And still, daily
I've never heard a more expressive musician in my life than Jerry.
Jerry Garcia, a gift to humanity; the likes of which, we will never come across again.
Just to hear the man play one more time...the sounds, his voice and spirit still gives me the goosebumps. Just listen to solo in this selection and let it take you back to those hot summer nights at the stadium.

Can’t love this comment enough! 💛 Everything you described is being a true Deadhead down to its core!
Our job is not to mourn, but to let the new ones know who he is... and what he left
I love Jerry he changed my life and I pray to God every morning on my way to work listening to his guitar
It’s his best solo. And he smiled
The crossover I never knew I wanted or needed- beautiful 🙏
This performance stones me to my soul. I can't really say why. It just makes me peaceful inside in a way I rarely experience. I like to play this with a little red wine before turning in.

Perfect description.... Jerry's smooth guitar solos...wow....what a well done cover!
scherbify amen
Amen to Brother Merl here, too! Great Hammond guy.
he does sing it fast live but the album version by van is immense
Say what you want about the Grateful Dead but one thing they could never be accused of is rushing through a song.
Absolutely love it. One of my top five favorite songs ever written. Especially this version. I play it all the time when I Dj and people absolutely love it, not to mention it's over nine minutes long which gives me five minutes to go get stoned and four minutes to listen to the kick ass ending.

Man, that guy could PLAY...RIP, Jerry.
miss these days and times that were magic
Kenneth Payne times can still be magic just listen to him and remember I hope you find your happy thoughts
Every once in a while, a glimpse of magic appears.
Love him
Yeah we had it good and it'll never ever happen again😪
I do ask myself who the people are that listened to that guitar and gave it a thumbs down? have you gone mad people ? Seriously? sad for you
rachel marie can’t worry about the upside down eagles that fly this earth they will loose their way soon one day sistuh stay kind in your heart that’s our was peace
This is so cool I was looking for Van the man and whoa hot shit got me some Jerry!
Redskull same here
same here
Love jim, enjoy!!
God bless jerseys very own man from manalpan. Did you know jer has roots in New Jersey. Love you jer rest in peace❤

Hell yah man. Your comment put a smile on my face
Was20 when he passed away
Im 40 now thanks jerry
love you capt...thanks for the trip
I love when he smiles when he plays; I interpret that sheer enjoyment for where he is in the moment. And in this moment I am taking healing from that. Thank you everyday Jerry, Melvin, Gloria, Shirley. Zach, Paul, and all contributors for keeping spirit alive through music.
He almost never smiled
Yeah! Jerry is having a ball !
He shore was happy as a pig in shit realy anjoying him self that night I know I was thair it was around the time we. Lost Brett love ya jer realy miss ya and Brett both of you are very spechal
God rest you Jerry... in your brief live you played the sweetest sounds that ever came from an electric guitar... phenomenal!
Depend on Jerry to take one of the greatest songs of all time to a new level.
It wasn't all Jerry.
No ,good effort,but fuck no,not even close ,wake up
the silence in the room when he breaks off into a solo is a such a reverent and magical thing, what than man could do with six strings and couple of frets... still missin him
Jerry was my idol. He brought me so much joy and laughter. I remember the JGB at the stone in San Francisco, what a joy that was, I don't follow or admire many people, but Jerry I admired and followed. Damm life without his vibe is very dull. Thank god for these old videos.
bodies die but music is immortal. saw JGB in humboldt co. that summer. he STONED ME
hes still here. im proof, i never got to see jerry im 16, but i feel the same way you do.
90 and 91 were very good years for Jerry and the Dead.
Except for the whole Brent dying thing . . .
I do agree. But, so were the years 65 thru 89, and also 92 thru 95. It just was, that's all. Legion of Mary held its own too. They stoned me, to my soul.
Jerry's smile at 7:20 is the best.
Happy 80th Birthday Captain Trips 🔥👅
I'm honoring Jerry tonight by listening to JGB ... This is one of my favorites. The more I seek out and listen to Jerry's music the more I realize how much he contributed, and how good and soulful a singer/player he was. Mike, David's dad.
half a century later still feel his power and miss that one hipp[ie chick that keeps me holding on for a brighter tomoroow
No idea how van Morrison knew these things, but Jerry loved it
This is freakin awesome...one of my fav songs...didnt know this exsisted! God Bless You!!
Heard the tribute tonight from a distance at Merriweather in Columbia! Loved the music, and many 55+ from my complex were there. They remembered the lyrics to! :)
Jerry Garcia was the best part of my life. Still is.
a song that deserves nine minutes sixteen seconds. i'm in heaven.

Jerry knew how to cover a song, that's for sure.
I’m in Greece jamming out toJerry. He lives!

Music as a healer of SOULS...

God Bless you Jerry, your jammin' with the angels now.

I was lucky enough to watch this band develop (late '65) from a fairly sloppy stoner band into a cultural and musical force. The band just got better as the years went on. RIP, Jerry. Superb solo on this song- lyrical, musical, right.
jerry videos on youtube, as a whole, are simply amazing. no one else like jerry, hopefully for all time!
I always thought this is one of the best VM songs there was. I remember tripping to it one day and thinking wow i wonder if jerry ever covered this, almost or as fun to listen to as jerry's "visions of johanna"
this was my first jerry show. drove down from scranton
i lived a few years in the states and was lucky enough to be there!!! thanks
An Acquaintance just as we were passing through the 70s...missed and never forgotten

thanks for posting and keeping that man's incredible spirit alive
Thank you-Thank you-Thank you for posting this!!!!!!!
What a wonderful feelings to re visit Jerry Garcia Band...again and again
Love me some Jerry!
He's missing his middle finger and he was still the greatest guitarist in the world.
I will always miss Jerry!
Wow! Never even knew the Dead covered this song. Been hearing it a lot on XM radio. Thanks for posting!
Not the dead though. Only jerry covered it :)
That's so great...what a player he was.
I just realized I was here!!!!!! thank you Jer
Always great music!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRY!
