Jerry Garcia/ Bob Weir-Monkey And The Engineer (10-11-81)

[halcyonsgs]

I love how Weir introduces this song on the track from "Reckoning" "This is a song about tragedy.........tragedy narrowly averted". The way he says it just makes me laugh.

One of my favorite Dead covers of all time. I hope one day I can play that well.

This is from 10/11/81, when just Bobby and Jerry were there. The whole group was there on both 10/15/81 and 10/16/81. The did two electric sets on 10/15, and an acoustic and electric set on 10/16 (all on borrowed insturments). Someone has just posted the Monkey and the Engineer from 10/16/81 and the video is incredible quality.

Bit off - not their best take on that

@bjdj82 Hon, they were DRUNK and this is nothing compared to the 2nd set! Check it out on archive, it's a hoot! But date is actually 10/16/81. This was a great show. One set acoustic one electric. Epic!
