I'll bass and guitar and sing this great tune called Myrtal's farm

[wingman572]

this, followed by "cumberland", if you were ever fortunate to expirience that duo, was always a show killer

[marinellirm1]

Saw them do this with Dylan at Foxboro 88 I believe, Jerry got skinny, like to see one posted from that show, was amazing.

[MultiWebweaver]

the goodbye girl Myrtal Hill, I'll marry Becky and be with Eric, Remy, Jennifer, Avery, Victor, Renee Zellweger

[SlowGas]

LONG LIVE THE BOB WEIR NEVERNUDE SHORTS!

[Drw928]

@SlowGas

Haha....Da Ballhuggers.

[MultiWebweaver]

I ain't gonna work on Myrtal's farm no more, wake in then morning pray for no rain, I have a head full of ideas that are driving me insane, it's a shave to make me sleep outdoors!!!

[omarlicious62]

" they should have done a version that was good " ? are we listening to they same performance ? because this is SICK !

[MultiWebweaver]

The Grateful Dead larger than Life, blowing peoples minds with their version of Maggie's farm. Love this.

[MultiWebweaver]

My Head full of ideas drove me insane, now my book is being published, Rock on Bob Weir

[bucktoofus]

They should have done a version that was good.

[MultiWebweaver]

@bucktoofus This versions is great, what the dead do for music is simply amazing, beats all other versions out there, Dead Forever

[7852pigpen]

[smartalek1]

What a phenomenal performance

[Cerise3634]

Sing it, Jerry!!

[madFlam1]

[Familyman1313]

Jerry should have done a slower version where he sang

[Corrupt5358]

What a load of shit, just upload the fucking original u twat!

[Jonnzothegreat1]

@Corrupt5358 most of the original Dylan perfomances get taken off i think by sony for copy right reasons "u twat"

[BrokedDownPalace]

@Corrupt5358 I bet your all of 14 years old.

[Corrupt5358]

@BrokedDownPalace I bet you are a 50 year old virgin

[slipyourhips]

@Corrupt5358 Go f yourself and leave the dancin to us. So happy you stopped by though dbag. Dylan is great and I can find the full newport version here anymore either so relax

[rainbowpagun]

[melyndaellen]

[nyamcz]

[casadyrocks]

@nyamcz Dylan is a redneck?

[jennifersman]

Jammin!

[weimaraner6]

OMG I sooooooo love Jerry

[Killinfloor]

Jerry had probably THE coolest custom guitars EVER ...

[geekorthodox9]

nice to see mr. weir sporting the converse cons of the boston celtics bill walton era. gotta love it, so much time has passed but you know the old saying...

[toecramper]

Jerry was looking good!

[MrGranitemountain]

ain't jerry the coolest?

[NebraskAlaska]

I like Rage's version better...

[swilliams9511]

@NebraskAlaska Don't compare apples to oranges

[NebraskAlaska]

@swilliams9511 Were they picked from a farm?

[TwinkleRose11]

great video. Love seeing Phil strum those Bass Strings...Ahhh... and JERRY!!!! What more needs to be said?

[beelzabubba]

Poor Jerry forgets the lyrics at the end of the first verse.... it should be "he fines you every time you slam the door". Please don't hammer me on this, I'm just sayin'. I love hearing the Dead play this masterpiece...

[npspec34]

Played with bd on that summer of 1987 and old bob said the dead could always find the music in his songs.

This beat is of Tell Me Momma from 1965.

[mmarek1969]

they sure covered alot of bob dylan songs

[PAULFC93]

@mmarek1969

Well they went on tour with him for a while.....so it's inevitable

[SUNNYRHOADES9]

Great Guitar Riffs ..Must Be Cool Playing In Shorts..Yee Haaa

[grandbbq]

2 people did not like this?

[Cerise3634]

They be jammin'!

[PUBSHAMROCKS]

Y DOES BOBBY ROCK SO BIG?

[vr4runner]

I like rage against the machine's version too

[NealMcProblem1]

@srruckoldt

LOL - I always noticed that... so funny. Also- gotta be some lyrical que's on Jerry's mic? little piece of paper taped for close reference. He looks at it a couple of times... classic. Saw my 2nd and 3rd show (Providence) either a few days after/before this.  DAMN I LOVE THESE VIDS - THANK U FOR POSTING

[SlyMcdoogal]

bobby

[womenrsmarter420]

i here ya art 100 percent although there are a few songs i enjoy bob singing tangled up in blue actually thats the only song i would listen to dylan sing...

[Braaaad1]

@womenrsmarter420 its as if those songs they did were meant for him to sing....when he goes to thatspecial place every show

[artsmith1972]

Not tryin to piss off any Dylan fan's, but the only time i like his songs, is when the Dead are singin em......

Different energy, and vocals you can actually understand.... sweet.

[jennifersman]

@artsmith1972 I agree, the Dead were some of the better interpreters of Dylan, same with the Byrds, especially in their later years. But Dylan always did "All Along the Watchtower" with the arrangement Hendrix used, he thought Jimi did it better then he did.

[BogratShoestring]

there are a couple great versions with hornsby too.

[kariaudar]

The Dead were unparalleled interpreters of Dylan songs, and this performance proves it!

[gratefuldaddio]

After going the night before which boasts the epic DEW and then attending a wedding the next afternoon some friends and I took the LIRR into Penn Station and the craziness ensued. Coming up the stairs onto 7th ave was always worth the price of admission.I was in the 18th row for this. Solid show all around.

[bobdylande]

Jerry's banjo chops are evident here. Love this stuff

[willburr]

These guys were playing their asses off in this period...

[ManyGodz]

Yeah,the riff is from their version of "Big River" (Johnny Cash tune), but the SONG is a Dylan cover.(Maggies Farm)

[Reckoning888]

I just really love the time when Brent was with the band. He could really make the songs sound "lush" and somehow give them a rich context. He would also play very well together with Garcia.

[boomslangdog]

yeah the whole band was great. even donna and the like... and if bob weir didnt entertain you he would certainly spit all over ya...

[waynereinig]

@Reckoning888

I agree with you. Brent really did add a lushness and richness to their songs.

I loved Brent: )

[pigpen7852]

no not at all , cumberland is more blue grass

[no1terroristhackerjk]

Cumberland, Md?

[superkindonmymind]

Kentucky

[lesh8]

big river

[lesh8]

sounds alot like cumberland still pretty hot

[scarletfire63]

lotta poor man got the cumberland blues, he can't win for losing

[superkindonmymind]

lotta poor man got 2 walk that line, just 2 pay his union dues!

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome cover of Bob Dylan's Maggie's Farm!

[CadillacL]

I could listen to this ALL day & not get tired. Jerry & Bobby were SO connected that night. Love the trade-off vocals.

[boscomorgan]

hand you a nickle hand you a dime

[karaokejoe316]

[npspec34]

taught that weeping willow,

how to cry, cry ,cry.

Dat be da song

BIG RIVER

[shredbass88]

anyone else thinks this sounds a lot like cumberland blues?

[Buzzard69]

no .....

[jennifersman]

BRAVO! BRAVO! I could listen to this all day, it's got such a great groove to it!

[jennifersman]

Wasn't this shown during the Farm Aid telecast that year? I recall them showing them doing this song.

[pheldd]

Yup, this and I Need a Miracle were shown

[2XLSUP]

I had back stage passes from harry popick

[freewoman1971]

Can't believe I forgot this sweet jam...was at this show...excellent seats...great night!

[cosmicalter]

wow.....This is so on..I love watching their guitars..I could feel each note in my brain...The communication between Bobby and Jerry is priceless when bob is giving jerry the ok to switch off vocals...and jerry'solo is killllllller!!!!!

Thanks for uploading

[sstalder5]

best version of this song ever. jerrys solo was amazing

[BuckySolo]

What? Phil wasn't taking it home back in 87? It's my favorite Dead-Dylan cover. Best Maggie's, I thought, were with Bruce and Vince.

[muckstar23]

wtf

[cavemandan]

sweet ...thanks for uploading

[wrombola]

I have always considered this MSG run in Sept 87 to be the beginning of the Dead's last great era late 87-late 91. Jerry is just getting his coordination back here after his coma and the whole band seems renewed.

[jdeweyhs]

Great run in '87. Best year since '77????

[Orsino89]

Thanks for the tunes

[muckstar23]

wuz there,..great garden run,...

[gratephuljoe]

yO

Anytime Jerry decided to step up and put in his lyrics into the tune...He wuz feeling it..

I gonna work there no longer eitha

joe HO..aka demo

[JoshDone]

I was at this show but never saw the footage.....pretty cool...

[charfman84]

the opening kinda sounds like cumberland blues, great song

[SouthpawSatch]

What brand of guitars are they using ?

[irtimed]

bobby has an Ibanez, and jerry's is custom

[Orsino89]

Thought that was the first run of the Modulus Weir Blackknifes that Bobby is playing..?

[jennifersman]

Jerry's using the Tiger Rose custom

[hookahLAwoman]

just saw dylan singin the song so i wanted to hear the dead sing it as well.

[wrombola]

You can see that Jerry had gotten his dexterity back fully at this point after the coma in 86.

[gjdaniel25]

yea, he's playing real well here

[willb48]

An anthem for the ages. Ask any wage-slave. OK - the political content is subordinate to the musical excellence. I love this.

[alienwails]

love it!

[goulaglenn]

lifted my spirt as well. jerry would have played music on the street corner and been happy. miss him more everyday

[LittleRedKing]

I know what you mean. I miss Uncle Jer more each day too. It was more than a man that died on that day. It was something much bigger and it seems to be gone forever. Oh well...

[pbeachmike]

there is nothing else like the dead...

changed my mind set to see this come up...

thank you... i needed my spirit lifted....
