The prettiest version of this song I have heard of this wonderful tune to date is the 1984 Binghamton, NY version so far (not just because I am from there, because I missed the show!)...but because it is gorgeous!!!!....
Thanks for posting this vid! PeggyO is a big favorite of mine. The few years after Jerry survived the '86 coma, he was clean, happy & so positive about the future - you can hear it and feel it. I was lucky enough to make all 3 of the Spectrum shows that run; made the drive from DC after work every day; a hike, esp. by Friday :-) Fantastic shows, well worth the effort. Set 2 Thu non-stop cookin', Help->Lovelight capped by BabyBlue! Wow. Then Fri a highly emotional "Californi Earthquake".
This is such a mean electronic ferocious killer beast of a guitar. The destroyer electric guitar. And then it does this. I dare you to go to a 1974 show after this. My soul weeps.
Nice version...! Still, I think the all time best versions of Peggy O are from Englishtown, NJ, 1977 and Las Vegas, 1994. This one is in the top 5, though...
Nice vid, with good Aud... Surprising to see Jerry playin Big bad wolf in 89... Also dig the "Ladies in the Are-o" vice people... Beautiful song, by the best band ever to assemble...
fall tour '89.... thats when the music started, and never stopped. Gratefully Deadicated, love you crazy fingers, Cap't trips, my Jer Bear. :) Peace love and moonflower.
Jerry was playing Wolf at this time because he was using it to experiment with his new MIDI synthesizer. Once he got it right, he had it installed into Tiger. Then in mid 1990 thats when we saw Rosebud. A much more advanced guitar compared to both Wolf and Tiger. But Im with you. boworl....Tiger was always my favorite!!!!
I think Tiger was having work done to it so he was playing the old Wolf, which was originally an Alembic that Doug Irwin customized and later took credit for building it. It was either that or they couldn't put the midi controller (pick-up) on the Tiger. That same equipment was built in to his next two guitars, Rosebud, and the Steve Cripe built Bolt. I miss you Jerry!
I was 33 on my birthday at this show. I could not figure out why Jerry changed his guitar, but it did not matter what I thought. I loved the tiger, I don' t know, but I think that was an Alembic he played so many years. I was on the front row and talked to a security guard. I ask him how he liked the Dead. He said he did not like the music, but the crowd was great. "Ya'll get high and dance, the Hank Jr show's crowd got drunk and fought. He liked the music at the end of the concert though.d
Its a custom....Doug Irwin was the lutiers name. He3 had several...this was his first from Doug...affectionately known as "The Big Bad Wolf" because of the inlay behind the tailpiece.
@MrSword666 no way, you guys destroy this places and build new ones like nothing!!! im from argentina and saw the dead 2 times there and JGB another two...its sad...
Beautiful song sung by undoubtedly one of the greatest bands ever! Jerry we miss u!!

I absolutely love the late 70's versions of this song. Bobby had this great, tinny disco sound to his gittar which really added to this number.
Thank You & Peace
Whoa! This is 1 of the BEST LIVE versions I've seen! Thanks for the upload, @splaif!!!! :)
I was there! AWESOME SHOW. I miss Jerry!
*chills* Love Ya Jerry
Nice, nice, nice. Great mix

Miss the Spectrum and Jerry : (
very interesting pauses between the first verses!

Chills...
I prefer the 1978 version, black and white, I enjoy this one as well.
always
man you must get some really good blotter, can I have some?
Cool footage and nice to see Wolf making an appearance, do you have anymore from this show?
Did they do a Bird Song in the second set of this show?
don't know about a break-up song, but interpret it as you will...
what kind of guitar is jerry playing
What wud Jo Mama think?
Not the greatest Fennario but nothing wrong with it. And Jerry is kickin' it old school with Wolf!! Wonder why no Tiger.
@MrSword666 no way, you guys destroy this places and build new ones like nothing!!! im from argentina and saw the dead 2 times there and JGB another two...its sad...
pretty much that whole tour,...>>>wolf
this is great despite that haevy handed brent
Brent is the man. Your trippin.
Jerry’s playing is so eloquent. Weir’s guitar is so out of tune on this version
Bruce Vince a thousand times more talented than BM
HELL NO
