Jerry, like this thread, is still Dead

Only saw them twice (unfortunately) ATL 1993 back to back but love this song. In college, a band called The Grapes used to play all the time and they did a great job with it too.

I'm a big fan of Peggy-O as well. It's actually an Bob Dylan song. Here's the original

Too bad you didn't get to see them more than twice. Jerry was not much to watch by the time '93 rolled around. Ironically, the full length video of the 4-12-78 show that your Peggy-O video comes from contains footage of a very coked out and very animated Jerry the likes of which I've never seen before. If you go to the 2:54:19 point in this video, you can see it for yourself. He must have horked down a few lines prior to coming back out for the encore.

Last but not least, @rkymtnman, I started up a grow journal last night. Still waiting for the seed to sprout but here's the link.

Thank you. It's so noisy at work tonight I didn't try to actually listen to the show. I do love these old Pigpen shows.

can't go wrong with a Dylan cover. i don't think i knew he did it actually first. so thanks for that!

yeah i kinda missed the window with the Dead. i did get to see Widespread Panic many times before they got big. i went to school pretty close to Athens.

and yes, i subbed up to your journal. even made a suggestion if you haven't done it yet. just tag me if you got any ?s and i'd be glad to try to help. like i said, youre only the 2nd person i've seen do a WF DTW so i'm stoked it goes well for you too!!

I was fortunate enough to catch 30 or 40 shows between 1984 and 1990. Their last good window IMHO. After Brent died, it went down hill fast.

I appreciate your willingness to answer any WF questions I have. Thanks so much!

Have you seen any of the Dead and Co shows? Not the Dead, but we are lucky they are still out on the road.

Old friend of mine came out to Denver to see them at Red Rocks (Sept I think). She loved them and she's a big Dead head. Hard to see a bad show at the Rocks though.

Yep. Sister lived in Co Springs most of her adult life. Her kid {and grandkids} live in Denver now. She stays out there 3-4 months out of the year. She saw lots of shows at Red Rocks.

I've not seen them live in person but a local drive-in theater did a live simulcast of a few of their shows. I saw one with Trey from Phish and another with John Mayer. I liked the John Mayer show better but wasn't overly impressed with either. I'd actually prefer to see the Dark Star Orchestra then Bob and whoever he can get to play with him. I say that with all due respect, of course. That man is THE finest rhythm guitar player that I've ever seen. I think he just needs to know when to give it a rest.

The first time I saw the DSO, they recreated a Dead show that I'd already seen before. It was a nice recreation but it was kind of like watching a rerun so I had to see them again so I could see them do a show from an era that I'd never seen before.
