Never tighter than this night. Had been given a great new stereo system by my wife the week before for Christmas. Stayed up in The Eastern time zone till 5am listening and recording.
a year ago today i showed my friend who wasnt a dead head at the time this song and now he knows everyone of their songs! amazing what a good version of a song can do.
This is from the Ticket To New Years DVD...I lost my copy awhile back and it is now out of print :-( Can someone please turn this dvd into a torrent to download...I would be very grateful...message me on here if some kind soul decides to do this 4 me and many others :-) thnx in advance!
yeah that was a classic miscue even bob was entertained by that...great show...later the only wharf rat encore. don't forget bob's tshirt...SEVA still an important and worthy charity
I love this song because it is grateful dead/ratdog staple. I also love how the song took forms and was heard in many ways(fast,slow,donna,no donna)I enjoy them all!!
Phil's thumpin Bass intro is groovy!
best line" GReet the mornin air with song"
Garcia's lightnin fast solo after 1st verse is remarkable.
I finally looked up the term calliopes. They were like pipe organs that were on wheels, and the circus brought them into town....That's how I always felt. YEAH, the circus is back in town!
@mundthedrummer So true. I'll speak poetically here. Jerry was like an LP record. Sometimes he'd skip, but then he'd get right back into the groove. Peace, Mund :)
And they were high stepping into town ;-)

I'm still tripping from Alpine '88 and '89.
I love when Jerry messes up at around 1:10. He and Phil look at each other and laugh.
Oh, no, the dancing bears are attacking me again!
