Pure brilliance...Tony lays down some bad ass lead and jerry acknowledges with a "yes.."..LOVE it....

[Ultranothing]

@chestercopperpot359 Definitely, man! The first time I heard that, I said "YES!" exactly when Jerry did, and kinda chuckled to myself. I tell ya, for a split second I felt like I was right there with him, feeling what he felt.

And then I woke up...but anyway...:)

this is great and yes i would like to believe that the riceman allowed one to slip during this riveting performance 

[Ultranothing]

@martinguitar22 Hey, he's Tony Rice, he can pass gas wherever he pleases!

@ultranothing "This is the only meeting of guitar greats Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice,..."

no it's not. they were both on old and in the way among other things.

[Ultranothing]

@inlilli1 I don't think that's correct...the group "Old & In The Way" features Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements, John Kahn, Richard Greene, and John Hartford. On their first album (also titled "Old & In The Way") I can't find any mention of Tony Rice, although I've found that he contributed some licks to some of David Grisman's quintet.

If you can point me in the direction of some Garcia/Rice collaborations, I'd absolutely love to hear them!

for sure man, i could listen to this on repeat for the rest of my life

@Ultranothing I immediately heard just ONE *pluck* of a guitar string; one finger against one fret.

I know exactly what you mean - Reminds me of riding with my bro-in-law, he's punching buttons on the radio. I hear a >quick< snippet of music and he punches the next button. I say "Go back, that was the Dead!" He says "No way how could you tell in 2 seconds?" "It was Jerry and Phil - go back you'll see." It was "Cumberland" :-) :-) :-)

it is possible for a combination of weed and this music to blow your mind

[setboy1]

@inlilli1 wow, talk about something that is just completely incorrect. Tony had nothing to do with Old & in the way. They even talk about them getting together for the first time on the pizza tapes

[shady7f7baby]

Amazing . I so glad tht pizza guy put this out . So amazing how they came together and put a new edge onto folk music . Good music to light and insent and light.... you know wat I mean(:

[chestercopperpot359]

Yet another filler chat I love from this track is at the end...( Jerry ) " Oh Gosh! Jeeze! Try to restrain yourself Tony! " heeheehee...

[chestercopperpot359]

@monologtube No joke man...Tony and Jerry's styles complimented each other SO much. I catch Tony Rice EVERY time he comes ANYWHERE near me.

[DeadTurtle27]

Great song! I hate that when I play it people think im playing the theme song to gilligan's island though.. haha

[monologtube]

strum at 1:58 makes me melt.

Thanks for posting..... I have listened to a lot of Jerry Garcia in the last 40 plus years. He can still amaze me with his awesome creativity and his ability to draw more out of a song than anyone knew was there. What gifts the man had. Gone too soon.

Thanks again for posting. It is great to hear ones like this again.
