this album came out a couple months after Garcia s first solo album and this song is thefirst cut. my friend and i put it on and just stared at other i disbelief , it was so beautiful. Christ we were young.
first time I seen the dead they played this during a heat wave, no forcast for rain and it started raining as thay called it down, along with wier bringing in the lightning, I miss Jerry
I feel like this song is much more poignant with the female voice. However, near then end of the Road, I think they all knew it was coming down and the song began to take a more emotional turn...
Hey! I believe this was mixed using a pair of my Cerwin Vega speakers and Cerwin Vega amp. This was a great show! Thanks for uploading it!

we were in buffalo NY in terrible muggy heat.
We/they sang cold rain and snow.
and the second time we sang that verse out of nowhere a raincloud came over the arena and cooled us all down.

Chills every time.
I only want to hold you
I dont want to tie you down

the landscape would be empty if you were gone
Chills.

I thought the this was the first son on side two of Bobby's "Ace".
Bob sings it for the Dead and it IS a Bobby song.
"I don't want to tie you down...
but It sure looks like rain."

such a beautiful love song but also a story about getting over a lost love wrapped into one song. I've never experienced anything like it

I think it works much better with just Bobby. The harmony distracts from the power of the lyrics.
