Man I love this song. I had the ryko dic this came on and it wound up sticking to the cd case I had it in and ruining the disc. Took me awhile to get it back in my life and wow such a touching passionate version from Hunter an truly epic storyteller.
@imeatingabagel Check out 7 Walkers. It's Bill Kreutzman's new band with Papa Mali on guitar and vocals. Robert Hunter co-wrote most of the songs on their album. He also co-wrote all of the songs for Jim Lauderdale's album Headed for the Hills.
I am not sure if he has played any show since 2005 though.
If you will notice, he has more lyrics in this version than are in the version Jerry used to sing. If my memory serves me well, there are three extra verses in this version.
the story is so much more complicated than i would have guessed the first time i heard the Grateful Dead version.
