This is from the So Many Roads commercial release. It's the boys, in some of the later days, rehearsing Whiskey in the Jar...which never made it to a stage performance, best I can tell.

  • This is from "The Pizza Tapes" Jerry, David Grisman, and Tony Rice in Jerry's basement. How it got circulated was, they ordered pizza and when they delivered it they didn't have enough money for the tip so they gave the guy the tape. Then it was out! It's a great album if you have the time to listen I recommend it

  • @zombifiedpenguin -- No, it's not.

  • "I just remembered it" hahaha

    they popped this out on st pattys in philly the night before they played the first of 5 nights at the tower (which i attended and was fantastic).

    never gets old, always makes me smile

  • @epicstacko Never played before an audience.

  • And men don't need to grow beards. It has to preserve the good things from the 60s, and ditch the irrelevant ones. Psychedelic self-exploration with LSD and DMT, transcendentally beautiful art like the Dead, intelligence, ecological responsibility, and a new anti-materialist worldview = transcendence

  • Is that Irish, I think I heard someone say. Damn right it's Irish. Though Jerry's holding back here. God Bless the Dead.

  • There's no way he could remember that song?!!! Are you fucking crazy? thats fucking Jerry Garcia,not some rookie, If he says He Just remembered it, he just remembered it. and he's playing with a bunch of Musicians who have been playing together for 25+ years. If they can't play a Traditional song, there is something wrong!! and from what I Know about the dead, they can improvise,

  • @danielmagan He's right. It's from the last disc of "So Many Roads". I am a bold deceiver....

  • Love it.

  • This is one of my favorite tunes the Dead ever recorded. It's beautiful how they just fall in and do what they do, no rehearsal..

    Nevertheless Garcia is a jerk when he responds to Weir; clearly no longer the lion in 1993 that he was in the 70's and there's no way he could remembered the song ("whole song, words and all") if David Grisman hadn't reminded him a week before. Poignant. That's not my insight, that's David McNally's, but see the evidence in the Grisman version.

    I miss them.

  • @Zendishwasher1 its not the dead just jerry
