OMG, it took me a long time to finally watch this. Like 12 years! Okay, not really. I saw this about five years ago and said, nope. No ready for that. And I promptly forgot about it. (I have not seen any new lineups in over 10 years, or even solo projects) But damn this is sweet. Do you know who's on piano and drums?
I came here today to pay tribute to Jerry on the 25th anniversary of his passing, just as Bob pays tribute to him through this powerful rendition of Days. May Jerry Garcia’s spirit live on through us in our days between. ☮️🌈🌹💀🐢✌🏼
This is the most heartfelt version of this song I've ever heard. After these past few days of tragedy this song really hits home hard. I'm glad there's so much love out their in our community. It's one of the only things that keeps me going and gives me hope.
I think this may just be my all-time favorite version of this... somehow the fact that Bob is singing drives the bittersweet message home that much more. God bless you Bob, you classy bastard!
Hi Jesse. Don't know if you'll receive this however pls check out Phil and Bob's 2018 version here. It's even better. Watch "Days Between - Bobby & Phil Duo 3-11-18 Chicago" on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/vZ8-_y3OpEM/v-deo.html
@occams99 Bob's 2018 version is a runner up to Jerry's for sure. I do agree that JerBear will always sing with a depth of tragedy that cannot be duplicated, however, Bob I do believe channels his love and loss for his older Brother, giving a clear representation honoring Jerry. As someone once said.. Its like comparing two Sunsets..
I was distracted by life, then distracted by Jerry's death. I now realize now, more than I did before, what a beautiful musician Bob is. I am so moved by this song and am grateful for what remains....
The last great Hunter Garcia collaboration before he died. A song so moving, it had brought me to bittersweet tears many times this year with the Deadco shows. And thats saying a lot because I'm a Type-A personality tough cookie and don't cry easily. So that speaks volumes as to how moving this song is and how deeply it touches s a persons soul. THAT is the mark of genius music artistry, NOT some top ten bullshit on a music radio station...
Today, August 1, the start of the Days Between, and my annual observance and memorial of the music that's baked into my soul and part of my DNA. I have so much to say, but I think I'll just listen to the music play. And cry my eyes out. Again.
Bob has turned this song into a masterpiece as this song progresses. I witnessed it as just a baby in the GD's late years. With D&C it moved forward. Particularly at the Folsom Field shows in '18 and '19. With the advent of the performances of Bobby/Wolf Bros particularly at the Symphony shows he's done thus far, it's a tear-jerker. This song has become one of the finest songs performed in the repertoire. I'm blown away by the intensity it presents each and every time I see/experience it.
This is one of the sweetest songs I've heard my wife who didn't know the Grateful dead from any band we use to dance to days between she passes in 2008 whenever I see Phil and friends and Bob weir and they play it tears roll down my eyes one of the best songs EVER
my oh my. this is pure gold, finer than fine. god bless bob weir for this! god bless all the musicians and tri studio! god bless robert hunter and jerry garcia and god bless the favorite choir and god bless all the fellow travelers for helping to birth this exquisite composition and this perfectly fitting performance to share with ever more...
I love the comment that this song was meant FOR Jerry, not to be sung by him. What a beautiful way of looking at it... Bobby, for sure, has grown this song. The version is simply outstanding. It is indeed a dark and loathsome song, most like Wharf Rat. But that was the GD, a band that made you rattle, shout, and shudder. Rob W. sounds phenomenal on this-- another musical soul lost to 2016--RIP. Here's hoping that Bobby is able to continue his search for the "Timeless"...
I miss Weir Here. I remember seeing this streamed live. There are so many haunting dead songs but this version of Days Between will stick with you. Chills every time. Thanks Bobby.
I can listen to Bobby sing this without getting an ache in my heart and crying. I listened Jerry sing it last night on two different videos and cried at both of them. It's an indescribable emotion.
I have always loved this beautiful song, and Bob Weir has always done a truly INCREDIBLE number on it. He's evolved it as time passes (which is what is meant for GD songs) and I love the comments below stating that it was never meant for Jerry to sing. It was meant to be sung for Jerry. Love it. Beautiful. And RIP Rob.
Jesse Greer , i completely agree with you. This song was not meant to be sung by Jerry, It was always meant to be sung by Bob. For the band and all of us to remember the greatest Warlock the world has ever known. Jerome J. Garcia (~);-}
this is astonishingly beautiful. I had skipped it so many times scrolling through. wow. I think Jerry's stuff from the end just makes one numb after awhile - it's beautiful - but, also hard to watch/listen to because he's so fucked up and, bluntly speaking, is dying. A lot of that stuff is too hard for me to watch. Bob breathes another life into this haunting gem of a song. it's also sad - look at us all now - we're old people for Christ sake. we can make jokes about it to deflect the pain, but the reality is more like this song.
Cassy another beautiful sad song. We need to lighten up. There were days and there were days and there were days I know when all we ever wanted was to learn and love and grow (and then life happened)
Sometimes I feel like even Bob doesn't appreciate that he is truly singular. I know that all too frequently the folks mixing and recording didn't appreciate him enough to mix him properly. The Grateful Dead were what they were because Jerry, Bob, and Phil were not just incredible musicians, but also unique. That alone would have been special: It was, however, their commitment to chemistry that elevated them, all and each, to a place that no one else has ever gone.
Glenn Hall Chances are Bob may be a type A personality, just as I am. And people like us are never satisfied with our acomplishments because of our hard driving need to set thr bar higher and ACHEIVE. This personality type always strives to be the best, so maybe thats why he is so hard on himself sne doesnt see how fabulous he is. It is a gift, and a fault, rolled into one, just like all personality type have strengths and weaknesses
I heard this song for the first time at the Houston Dead and Co show..oct 2021 It was so mesmerizing. I asked what it was called and omg it brought tears to my eyes.. so beautiful. He sung this song with so much passion. I’m in love!
One of the best versions ever. I know its a Hunter/Garcia tune, but I cosign on it for Bobby. The weight is lifted as well by the late, great Rob Wasserman, and the solid playing of Chimenti, and Lane. A powerful rendition. Only time would have told how this song would have matured over the years had the Man lived. I say its Mother to its Child - China Doll.
There were days and there were days and there were days between polished like a golden bowl the finest ever seen Hearts of Summer held in trust still tender, young and green left on shelves collecting dust not knowing what they mean valentines of flesh and blood as soft as velveteen hoping love would not forsake the days that lie between lie between
@@BS2u2u yeah same exactly he might've made this song for Jerry garcia I frequently listen to him and he always seems to talk about death. That last verse makes the hair on my neck go up..
A lot of the late comers to the Grateful Dead, didn't appreciate Bobby, at the Garden a saw about 15 youngsters sit down when the dead went into a fiery Picasso Moon. Of course, I miss Jerry, but Bobby was just as much a part of The spirit and passion of The Grateful Dead. Long live the music. I could cry also.
They sat down because it was "Bigger than a drive in movie, Oooh Weee". J/K I can't say I ever sat down for a Picasso Moon, but I also don't recall not laughing during this song. It was never on my hope they open with list.
There are days are when the whole of reality changes and thier are days when nothing happens at all, no matter how hard we try to make something happen, in comparison nothing happens at all
It's so great when he misses the note. That's what makes it the dead. And yes this was so beautiful. I remember watching it and this show in the computer and this hushed everyone in the room.
Damn :( my angel, River, has cancer. Steroids and prayer and lots of Love and walks help with healing miracles but its never far from my mind the day we will say goodbye. I know we all live inside one another though and are truly inseparable:) Your dog is still and always with you in your heart
Man, it is heartbreaking to hear how much Bobby's voice has deteriorated in just the last 8 years. He sounds great here! Nowadays it is really hit or miss (and mostly miss, sadly). Doesn't stop me going to shows, obviously.
So, do you really feel that a backhanded compliment of Bob Weir does his talent and gifts to you any kind of justice? Think before you speak man! Think before you write.
The song really speaks to the one ! The whole collective in harmony. Love is all that describes and doesn't. I think understanding without words is where I am going with this. Hell maybe it was Utah.
My favorites musicians alive (thankfully): Joni Mitchell, Bob Weir, Joan Baez, Great (Grace) Slick, Patti Smith, Van Morrison, Cat Stevens, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Mick Taylor (I will keep adding more). Those that I can happily trade with the ones gone: Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Art Garfunkel, Bono (will add more) Those I am indifferent to: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ringo Starr, Paul Simon, Jorma Kaukonen and many others. Those I would rather have back: Jerry Garcia, Lou Reed, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Janis Joplin, Arthur Lee, Frank Zappa, Syd Barrett, Robert Hunter, Pigpen, Brent Mydland, Ray Manzarek, Terry Kath (will add more)
When the going GETS WEIRD. THE WEIRD GET OFF. 💛💛💛💛💛💛🙉🙈🙊 LOVE FOREVER NEBRASKA BRIAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HAVE A HAPPY & GRATEFUL 2020 RIP TWEAKY GARY, POPS, UNCLE OTTO, REVEREND JIM & GIZMO TOWN CAT CREW JIMMY & NO MATTER WHAT, STOP SCARING THE CHILDREN BRIAN...RIP BROS BRENT & JERRY & THE MAN THAT KEPT IT TOGETHER, MY BRO BILL GRAHAM PRESEMTS RIP
In the sense that it is an ode to Jerry (whether or not it was written and performed before he died). I wonder if Jerry and Hunter ever talked about the meaning of the lyrics.
Jeff R.Since Hunter doesn't like explaining his lyrics, my guess wouldn't be they didn't. But I would also guess they wouldn't have to. Given their long history together, I'm sure Jerry knew exactly what Hunter was writing about. A great song, and it still brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it.
It's not about Jerry at all. It was written by Hunter AND Garcia. Two years before that fateful day in 1995. Here's a note from David Dodd: “Achingly nostalgic, ‘Days Between’ evokes the past. The music climbs laboriously out of shadows, growing and peaking with each verse, only to fall back each time in hopeless resignation. When Jerry sings the line ‘when all we ever wanted / was to learn and love and grow’ or ‘gave the best we had to give / how much we’ll never know,’ I am immediately transported decades back in time, to a beautiful spring morning with Jerry, Hunter, Barbara Meier, and Alan Trist-all of us goofing on the sheer exhilaration of being alive. I don’t know whether to weep with joy at the beauty of the vision or with sadness at the impassable chasm of time between the golden past and the often painful present.” Miss you, Jerry. Thanks for the dream. And thank you, Bobby.... for carrying it forward.
I may be personally responsible for up to half of the views here. Bob now owns this beautifully heart wrenching Ballad.
OMG, it took me a long time to finally watch this. Like 12 years! Okay, not really. I saw this about five years ago and said, nope. No ready for that. And I promptly forgot about it. (I have not seen any new lineups in over 10 years, or even solo projects) But damn this is sweet. Do you know who's on piano and drums?

Jesse Greer yeah man. It's Deep! Gives you a feeling. But you have to love when he hits the wro g note😂 he looks so frustrated. Love Bobby 😊
occams99 - Intense point - got me thinking. I do love Bobby’s “new” interpretation.
God bless Bob Weir

Bobby does a great vocal in this rendition but Jeff's piano is what really moves this to a whole new level. As much as I miss the Dead I miss Ratdog.
I was distracted by life, then distracted by Jerry's death. I now realize now, more than I did before, what a beautiful musician Bob is. I am so moved by this song and am grateful for what remains....
This is not from Glen lol. I hate google.
If it weren't for my having, limited data, I'd listen to this all day. Even if it is somewhat painful. Bob and the band perform this so well.
Bob is the leader of the band now. He’s so fucking amazing. I count my blessings every day that I still have the opportunity to see him
@@someguy330 Aho!
The last great Hunter Garcia collaboration before he died. A song so moving, it had brought me to bittersweet tears many times this year with the Deadco shows. And thats saying a lot because I'm a Type-A personality tough cookie and don't cry easily. So that speaks volumes as to how moving this song is and how deeply it touches s a persons soul. THAT is the mark of genius music artistry, NOT some top ten bullshit on a music radio station...
HALEY MAY yes we all saw the movie you so eloquently plagiarisms. That part of the movie gives me chills every time
Absolutely a masterpiece by Hunter & Garcia, and epic poem that also brings me to tears. Bobby’s version is just so pure, polished like a golden bowl.
I like it...and just when I thought I could talk....you go girlfriend. Holy snap!❤
Well said. This song always gets me deep in the soul. NFA ⚘💀❤

I have shared endless tears listening to this song. I'm just Grateful that I've been able to enjoy the Dead.
Bob has turned this song into a masterpiece as this song progresses.
I witnessed it as just a baby in the GD's late years.

Only blessed to be part of the story and witness the journey , for those gone and the rest still here….say no more
Thank you Bobby for rising up better than ever to carry the torch!
what an incredibly emotional and melancholy performance of this beautiful tune. thank you, bobby and jeff et al...gives me the chills.
landing here after emotional melancholy performance earlier this eve...bobby and jeff with different cast of et al..
I have listened to this version off and on for a couple of years. Love it! Today, my wife did Tai Chi to it, and made it super special!
I've never been moved by this song before, now it hits me in the guts
Ive been obsessed with this song lately, even tho when they played it I didnt want to hear it at the time.... This brings it all home Bobby. Thank you
can see the spirit in his eyes really excellent........
exquisite... in tears .... poignant to my soul
" There were days
And there were days
And there were days between
Summer flies and August dies "

Eric Woodard Wasserman died! WTF? I didnt hear about that. How did he die?
Eric Woodard totally agree when I read that above, got chills.

Beautiful chords ,beautiful piano music
Beautiful rendition, so heartfelt. So fitting to have Bobby singing this. Love the instrumentation. RIP Hunter, true American songwriter legend.
One of my favorite songs ever this song brings me to the tears i need and love
Simply a beautiful presentation of this song! Thank you, gentlemen!

twenty five years ago I had a chance to see
now I have the chance to understand
my mind and body hurts today...enjoyed what you said...peace.
I'm not old I'm 8 that's because my dad made me a dead head fan
@@exoticaxzz I love it gotta start young.
Gentle yet powerful and evocative.... classic!
Cassy another beautiful sad song. We need to lighten up.
There were days

RIP Rob Wasserman
Bless up Bobby... excellent !!
I'm too young to have seen Jerry but that just makes me happy I could still see Bobby

There were days

still tender, young and green
left on shelves collecting dust
not knowing what they mean

as soft as velveteen
hoping love would not forsake
the days that lie between lie between

His singing is actually better now than back with the GD.
Bob belted out "Close the gap of the dark years in between " in Cassidy; presaged this bit of beauty
There are days are when the whole of reality changes and thier are days when nothing happens at all, no matter how hard we try to make something happen, in comparison nothing happens at all
Speechless
Iconic Bobby Weir...
Only shows how unique and brilliant a singer Garcia was
Beautiful
It's so great when he misses the note. That's what makes it the dead. And yes this was so beautiful. I remember watching it and this show in the computer and this hushed everyone in the room.
When bobby misses a line I just smile it makes him human
When a line is missed I just smile and laugh about it that makes it fun
best I ever seen
awesome, . is an understaement
Jerry and Bob always have had a understanding of the way to see
Lost my dog a year ago. This song breaks my heart.
Damn :( my angel, River, has cancer. Steroids and prayer and lots of Love and walks help with healing miracles but its never far from my mind the day we will say goodbye. I know we all live inside one another though and are truly inseparable:) Your dog is still and always with you in your heart
This might be my new favorite version of this song
Wow super nice job guys - I have been listening to live versions by the big cat and the boys but damn I enjoyed the hell out of this - nice !!
Thank You🎵🙏❤️💀🎶
I miss Jerry. He was the Dead. This is his song.
Man, it is heartbreaking to hear how much Bobby's voice has deteriorated in just the last 8 years. He sounds great here! Nowadays it is really hit or miss (and mostly miss, sadly).
Doesn't stop me going to shows, obviously.
So, do you really feel that a backhanded compliment of Bob Weir does his talent and gifts to you any kind of justice? Think before you speak man! Think before you write.
The song really speaks to the one !
The whole collective in harmony.
Love is all that describes and doesn't.
I think understanding without words is where I am going with this.
Hell maybe it was Utah.
Jerry performed this in Tampa a few weeks before ...
Brings tears every time.
I'm not a 37 year old like you guys. My dad is 40 or 41 idk lol and he got me into dead and company he calls me: "Dead head girl" and I'm only 8
A elegiac and plaintive tune. It really evolved between '93 and '95. Oh, The California Rock Band!
My favorites musicians alive (thankfully): Joni Mitchell, Bob Weir, Joan Baez, Great (Grace) Slick, Patti Smith, Van Morrison, Cat Stevens, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Mick Taylor (I will keep adding more).
Those that I can happily trade with the ones gone: Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Art Garfunkel, Bono (will add more)
Those I am indifferent to: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ringo Starr, Paul Simon, Jorma Kaukonen and many others.
Those I would rather have back: Jerry Garcia, Lou Reed, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Janis Joplin, Arthur Lee, Frank Zappa, Syd Barrett, Robert Hunter, Pigpen, Brent Mydland, Ray Manzarek, Terry Kath (will add more)
I get chills....
a heart wrench...
Love the piano too!
Well I must say I felt a little jaded as Bobby took Jerrys voice but a paused and began to cry.
OMG where has this been? So is this from "Move me Brightly"?
As a practicing Jew, the lyrics are perfect for Kol Nidre. I might introduce it to my shul this year. Does anyone know the name of this bassist?
Rob Wasserman
Heavens Light fills my senses, vibrations whole and true.
You and Phil Made Heaven Ring last night in Chicago, we Love you both so:)

Touching,,,
Love those Telefunkin Mic's ... from the land of Lullabies. ;0)
IMO this is the ultimate expression of Hunter-Garcia's Magnum Opus.
The Blue Of Yet Another Daaaaaaay...
The singing man is at his song. Thanks Bob
Absolutely sublime. But upload chopped savagely at the end. Thank you anyway.
Sublime....
This reminds me of Egypt the way the guitar is mixed so trebly and up front. Those were the days(for me at least)
the Weir version of this song is heady as f#@k! Long Live Bob Weir!!!
well done
This looks like a 'live' studio session - was this ever released on disc? Any additional info available on the sessions or the musicians?
This needs to be re- released and played by Bobby.....
and soon! I just wonder how long it took Bob to be strong enough to tackle this one. I hear Jerry weeping all through it. 😋😻
This song was never meant to be sung BY Jerry... It was meant to be sung IN REMEMBERANCE of Jerry.
Jerry and Robert Hunter wrote this song in 1993. I saw on of the first performances, sung by Jerry of course.
In the sense that it is an ode to Jerry (whether or not it was written and performed before he died). I wonder if Jerry and Hunter ever talked about the meaning of the lyrics.
Jeff R.Since Hunter doesn't like explaining his lyrics, my guess wouldn't be they didn't. But I would also guess they wouldn't have to. Given their long history together, I'm sure Jerry knew exactly what Hunter was writing about. A great song, and it still brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it.
I'm sorry, my guess "would" be that they didn't.
It's not about Jerry at all. It was written by Hunter AND Garcia. Two years before that fateful day in 1995.
Here's a note from David Dodd:
“Achingly nostalgic, ‘Days Between’ evokes the past. The music climbs laboriously out of shadows, growing and peaking with each verse, only to fall back each time in hopeless resignation. When Jerry sings the line ‘when all we ever wanted / was to learn and love and grow’ or ‘gave the best we had to give / how much we’ll never know,’ I am immediately transported decades back in time, to a beautiful spring morning with Jerry, Hunter, Barbara Meier, and Alan Trist-all of us goofing on the sheer exhilaration of being alive. I don’t know whether to weep with joy at the beauty of the vision or with sadness at the impassable chasm of time between the golden past and the often painful present.”
Miss you, Jerry. Thanks for the dream.
And thank you, Bobby.... for carrying it forward.
tears
Bob is older here than Jerry when he sang it. Gives it added depth.
2019......going strong
SPAC 2019
Between the season's help me😢
I miss Rob a lot.
B O B B Y!!!!!
