My go-to is usually Euro ’72 but I can’t deny how much better it sounds with Brent backing. Or Jer’s sexy guitar tone in that second clip
Yeah the vocals on Europe ’72 version are great, it’s definitely the one that is seen as the “definitive” version. Fun fact it was never released on a studio album but the Dead played it over 300 times and it’s one of the most well-known Deadhead songs.
God at a Festival took like 2 listens to grow on me.
Funny, my favorite of this new batch has been “Kama Sumatra” which is the one that their fanbase pushed back against. I like Kevin’s verse when they slow things down and Frasco’s little spoken word section. Not the biggest fan of the beat but the song is interesting… lol
This is one of the most famous Grateful Dead recordings out there, and it’s clear to see why. I remember I sent you this one when I first got into the Dead @marleyfacedboy. – 7/7/89 RFK Stadium in Philly
6/26/94 Las Vegas – Jerry’s vocals are so weirdly off during this but it also kinda slaps. Jerry in short shorts and high off his ass!
Fancy Gap from Raleigh, NC have a new single out called “Strawberry Moon” featuring Sharon Van Etten, with an animated video from our friend Persona La Ave.
