I agree. I get emotional everytime I hear Jerry sing this song. Dylan's lyrics hit something really deep down within me. And while I can't quite explain what it is or why it is; this song resonates with me like few others do. It's one of those that makes you smile and cry at the same time.
I still love Jerry as much now as I did in 85 through 95= I am a Jerry kid. Love you forever Jerry. We will never forget how much you changed our lives for the better.Thank you.. Peace, love and The Grateful Dead Family
When the world around seems all crazy and out of balance, this is where I come. This is what salvation must be like after awhile..... It's given me unspeakable peace and joy. Beautiful.....thank you Jerry & Bob for making this a better world. Lots of love to you.
Only got to see the dead with Jerry about a dozen times between summer of 94 and summer of 95. This wAs my favorite memory of him. He looked to me as if he was growing out of the stage ....lol. ...this brought tears to my eyes that evening I couldn't shake the feeling like it was the end of the ride , and it wasn't too much longer that it was. . Rip buddy., You gave so much to so many people we will never forget.
One of Bob's absolute best, performed by one of the very, very few who could do it justice. Jerry does this song with love and respect, while still giving it his own imprint. Beautiful.
Phil Lesh said later that during this particular performance, he wanted to stop playing and simply watch. Every one knew Garcia was absolutely nailing it.
Not only might this be the most passionate, emotive version of VOJ of all time, but despite a few mumblings here and there, not only might this be Jerry's best performance of the truncated 95 year, and maybe some sort of clarion call, or pre-cursor of things to eventually come, but maybe one of his best vocal performances of the entire 90's
The boys taught me all that I know. Once in the middle of Joshua Tree i laid down to sleep in my tent and off in the far far distance I heard a soft subtle sound. So enthralled I woke up and wandered through the desert and landed at a camp site where some guys were singing with the acoustic VOJ. Hearing is float though the rocks and desert was magical. Turns out the guys were on a Bach party and their plan was shop for a weeks food. I just finished a school camping program and had a weeks worth of food left over. In the am I gave them all I had much to their surprise. It was VOJ that brought us together and VOJ that got you reading this. God bless the Grateful Dead. You all get it. I tear up thinking about it all and what life would be like without it…….miss you Jerry. More than words can tell.
z lstpedestrian Put on some "Where'd You Hide the Body" by James McMurtry. If that doesn't give you someone new to believe in, then you need more help than I can offer.
As the story goes (thanks to Phil Lesh), Garcia decided to finally take advantage of the teleprompters (which nobody in the band liked to do) for this song and I for one am glad he did. A tremendous version that Bob Dylan himself said "that was what I heard in my head".
Even the croakiness and weariness of Jerry's voice, well was a detriment during these last few shows, somehow worked here, and just brought something extra special to these words.
On some occasions Jerry could surpass his croakiness with pure expressions of emotions, other times he did sound like a frog, That's what keeps me coming back, those brief visions of perfection Jay
I was lucky enough to be front/center for this show. Given this was '95, there was a lot of talk about how Jerry was fading fast. I recall that near the onset of the opening song, Jer broke a string. He was obviously really upset about it, got help and got back on it. My thought was "well, seems like Jerry's still here to me". This version of Visions proved that. It's cool that Phil included this version in "Fall-Out from the Phil Zone" a CD of highlights. On the liner notes, Phil states he felt that Jer's solo in this version of this song was one of his best ever. Wow! It sure is one hell of a soulful Visions!!!
me too, bro. I got a ride from Park City and was dropped off and into 15 seats back and I was blown away by this. Sadly he had to read it from an early pad cuz his mind was going. And it BLEW MY MIND
Jerry had so much heart, so much affectation, so much emotion that burst through every line he ever sang; he put you in the place of the song's protagonist and set the mood of a tune better than anyone else I have ever seen, or heard, here not only doing amazing justice to Dylan's music, but lifting the 'visions' to new levels. Sorely missed, ever mourned, Jerry Garcia will remain an iconic and mythologized god of rock and roll until civilization grinds to a stand-still; Zeus to the rest. RIP.
+Cleo Fierro Whoaaa easy there cowboy. I wouldn't say half assed.. This is an excellent version of an excellent song by an excellent writer. Ain't no time to hate.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ? We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind. In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane Louise she's all right she's just near She's delicate and seems like the mirror But she just makes it all too concise and too clear That Johanna's not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall Oh, how can I explain ? It's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn. Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower frieze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze I can't find my knees." Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel. The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise always says "Ya can't look at much, can ya man." As she, herself prepares for him And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes everything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.
I was at this show. What a strong and poignant performance. Jerry was near the end, but still able to wring emotion from every word, every phrase, every note. I remember not even liking it then, thinking it was boring, wanting Morning Dew instead, but what did I know then. Since, I've learned the chords and am learning the words, and have come to appreciate Dylan's poetry (this is from his most poetic album ever, Blonde on Blonde) and Jerry's interpretation.
I felt the same way! I thought, why not Dew or Standing... what IS this song anyway? Now I find it to be right up at the top of all the primo Jerry ballads; I don't try to rank them. One of the best aspects of the Dead is that process of growing to really appreciate & love songs that first strike you as boring! A lot of more "poppy" music lacks that depth. It's that deep well that the Dead have always drawn from! At the show, we weren't there *yet*, we were still in the process of getting there! :)
garyshow2005 this. such poignant interpretation that its almost other worldly. Wonderinng if he felt it was near his time to go. The peace brings me is hard to put into words I know he had so much more to give. I pray there's peace where you are. Miss and love you.
Such a sense of finality to this version. Rewind to 4/22/1986 Berkley Theater--Earth Day. The set 1 Visions of Johanna on that day is so lighthearted. The contrast in energy between 86' and 95' version s staggering.
Remember that we can all still be united in peace and love. Those magical moments together are still accessible - not as memory only but as living experience. Our love will not fade away.
I cant believe how many people, after how much they say they love GD, and that they "know there music" still hate...if you KNOW anything, you know that every preformance, good, bad, sad, or mad, was special beyond believe and cannot/will not ever be replicated in TIME...FOREVER GRATEFUL FOREVER DEAD
Jerry was indeed tired, frayed, even disillusioned in the Spring of '95...but he was far from musically defeated. This version of this rare, delicate Dylan Gem matched the first time they played it (which I saw) back at Hampton in the Spring of '86. Thanks for posting.
I needed this so bad right now, thanks for the music guys, y'all helped me thru the good times but carried me thru the bad and for that I'm forever grateful
This whole show was hot, best Ramble on Rose from that era, hell quite awhile at that point.Really inspired spring tour as a whole.Then that summer...what a shame.RIP brother Jer-Ber
My first show was amazing in 1968. The 70's rocked all the way. 80s brought the "Touch heads" and great shows from the middle to the first of the 90s. JMHO, from personal experience, and we all experience things differently. Peace and music.
I suddenly found myself in Philadelphia when my dad passed on March 15, 1995. I am here, so I might as well go see the Dead at the Spectrum. They weren't playing NY, Washington, or Boston. I think this show may have set a record for the number of people looking for tickets. I was walking around with a small "Please" sign and this kind guy walked up to me and sold me a ticket at face. YES! This song and Ramble on Rose made it for me. I also was there the next night to hear the 1st "Unbroken Chain".
Watching this again has tears streaming down my face. Jerry had a way of reaching up to the pinnacles and down to the depths of this human experience and the beauty he brought to this realm makes my heart & soul ache for the yearning to go home. Up to each of us to create what beauty we can while we're here. Miss you Jer....
This brings up so many emotions when I hear it and realize that those years passed by in a gust of wind. So many things happened in my life, happy and sad things, but I am still here... And when I hear this performance I am totally back in time. And can almost cry.
saw jerry at hampton in 91 and 93 long with all the hampton shows( amongst many others) in the gd cAtologue do not miss what a wonderful world visions.... classic....
I was at this show.. the whole run was a frantic BC of the unbroken chain break out. I was 14 I don’t even remember this on my set list the just??? for it. Maybe 15 years later I was in Chile alone for months and I had the lyrics pretty right by the time I hiked out at least 1/2 of them it a long a song. Little boy lost takes himself so seriously …. likes to live to live dangerously… I don’t know how I remember lyrics I don’t remember hearing 20 prior. I don’t understand what happened in those shows but somehow the band was telling me what was coming. They always have I won’t be alone ever cause this band, thank you
I saw this Jerry a bajillion times, but not THIS Jerry, thank you for posting this. I mean he actually let's go of rosebud to be a soul rock star. He NEVER lets go of Rosebud. Rare. Phil Lesh was correct to wanna sit back and watch. I miss U all so bad. In heaven all the keyboardists will get to jam simultaneously as well. MELVIN, 2020 saw you again. You better be there as well. Jerry loved you. We do too. Keep rocking!
Wow. You know when you have that ultra moment of appreciation for all that Garcia gave us his whole life it makes you wanna cry. Special thanks to Bob Dylan, of course.
Jerry has warned my soul since I was a really young lady ,seen me thru good times bad times happy and sad but the best time I ever heard him is now ! rip Jerry the music never stopps,
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. This music will live forever because of folks who share their recordings. This is one of my favorite songs and to hear jerry singing it is really a gift.
It's so strange how close to the end someone can be, yet still shine like the brightest star in the cosmos. At the moment I'm wearing a Tshirt I got at the Mardi Gras run in January of that year which brought me here to this page. The ghost of his electricity still howls into the core of my being.
This man and his mind, heart and soul was one of the greatest gifts the world ever received. Those beautiful, deep chords and that voice so full of emotion will forever be tide that carries the souls that listened and felt his. RIP Jerry...
Only one word can sum up this performance, "Haunting". Rest in peace Jerry.
or "beautiful"
I thank God and The Universe that I was able to appreciate this during my lifetime.
I thank Jerry for it.
Jerry the great interpreter of Dylan tunes. His heartfelt licks always added so much depth and emotion to Dylan's complex lyrics.
Truer words were never spoken.
Fucking Beautiful! There will never be ANYTHING close to this band. Magic!
magic is the perfect description. I called going to a Dead show 'going to church'
Damn...tears running down my face.
"Mona Lisa must've had them Highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles!" Love it!
I agree. I get emotional everytime I hear Jerry sing this song. Dylan's lyrics hit something really deep down within me. And while I can't quite explain what it is or why it is; this song resonates with me like few others do. It's one of those that makes you smile and cry at the same time.
I still love Jerry as much now as I did in 85 through 95= I am a Jerry kid. Love you forever Jerry. We will never forget how much you changed our lives for the better.Thank you.. Peace, love and The Grateful Dead Family
well said sir.
Close to his death, Jerry summons up a powerful, outstanding interpretation / performance of this Dylan classic
Did he know
Just so perfect
IWT
Holy geezus, so passionate yet so fucking tragic.... only 53 but looking like 75. RIP old fella.
Goosebumbs on this version... EVERYTIME
What a beautiful, understated and well-recorded performance. So sad to lose Jerry way too early.
When the world around seems all crazy and out of balance, this is where I come. This is what salvation must be like after awhile..... It's given me unspeakable peace and joy. Beautiful.....thank you Jerry & Bob for making this a better world. Lots of love to you.

It so amazing how for so many years this still overwhelms me with tears of joy. Thanks Jerry for all the memories!!
One of Bob's absolute best, performed by one of the very, very few who could do it justice. Jerry does this song with love and respect, while still giving it his own imprint. Beautiful.
Damn straight.
jokerman, well said .Jerry took on some that only he could do and show the soul and passion as If Dylan won't for Jerry. Amazing funky runs WOW
right on
jokerman Jerry was really struggling by this point, but a rousing performance. Man...

That’s because Phil Lesh was nothing more than a fan of talented people
@@joefaccio7580 lol nice trolling
Yes!!! Absolutely love it. I can hear Phil saying that... thanks man.
"We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it" gets me every time. God damn Jerry, RIP
He gives me goosebumps
Ditto and aint it just like the night to play tricks on you when you're trying to be so quiet
♥️⚡💙 ..verbatim, I love this comment.
This is a Bob Dylan song, so it should be "God damn Bob". This version here is horrible. Horrible!! So, fuck you Jerry
You have said IT¡
This is the best 10 minutes I ever spent on UA-cam
Not only might this be the most passionate, emotive version of VOJ of all time, but despite a few mumblings here and there, not only might this be Jerry's best performance of the truncated 95 year, and maybe some sort of clarion call, or pre-cursor of things to eventually come, but maybe one of his best vocal performances of the entire 90's
in other words, it might just be the sweetest thing he ever played
That and the 93 Crazy Fingers that comes up on here
Like a person telling you for some unknown reason that they are afraid then suddenly they are gone...only then does it make sense...

Hi
Definitely! In that Fallout From The Phil Zone disc, this is in there. In the liner notes Phil says comments his amazing Jerry’s solo is.
These visions of Jerry are all that remain :-)
wlunsfor we all go on!
well played
No words, the beauty of this is blinding.
there are no words for this other than beautiful. miss you dearly, Jer.
Beautiful. Just perfect.
The greatest guitarist playing the Nobel Prize Winner's greatest song.
Thanks for uploading!
Miss him everyday....
this version is so incredible. pure emotion dripping off each note

What a wonderful experience. So plausible to those of us who are here to comment!
That sounds like a positive adventure.
this is likely my favorite Dylan tune.
and the Dead are the only thing I believe in any more.
this cut is nothing but tears for me.
z lstpedestrian
Put on some "Where'd You Hide the Body" by James McMurtry.
If that doesn't give you someone new to believe in, then you need more help than I can offer.
I believe in you
Three days before my sixteenth birthday..feels good to have been alive when they played this. The band, lyrics, groove, Jerry, Bob..lives on
I stopped dancing just to watch in awe and the feeling was the same with everyone at the show! This performance had everyone in tears! Always
yeah we all stopped respect
Absolutely grand!! "Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues..."
As the story goes (thanks to Phil Lesh), Garcia decided to finally take advantage of the teleprompters (which nobody in the band liked to do) for this song and I for one am glad he did. A tremendous version that Bob Dylan himself said "that was what I heard in my head".
Still flubbed the "little boy lost" verse too
@@brendanmcmahon1162 what part of “lost” do you not understand?
greatest cover band ever and so much more!!!!!!! God Bless The Grateful Dead.
Briam Stevenson ain't nobody do Dylan songs any better, imho...
72 shows and this was the one that got away.
This song spoke to Jerry.
Here I sit, blessed by the presence of genius, Thank you Jerry, thank you Bob.
Even the croakiness and weariness of Jerry's voice, well was a detriment during these last few shows, somehow worked here, and just brought something extra special to these words.
AGREE. WOULDN'T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY...
Yes...and also in this period's version of Pretty Peggy-o. So much heart and soul in his beautiful voice.
@@grizzlybear4 as well as the 1974 peggyo's, so quiet and full of emotion
@@grizzlybear4 the shows with the loose blue shirt are always as good as it gets. Also my favorite peggy o and tangled.

Can’t remember if it was here or Denver where he actually walked off stage for a bit after kicking his equipment around.
This song just slays.

There's never been a better interpreter of Dylan's songs.
+Angry Gen X'er Have you ever heard about Richie Havens?
+Jakub Wallflower I saw both Richie Havens and Jerry do Dylan. AGXer is right, and I suspect Dylan would tell you the same...
+Angry Gen X'er I've always thought so!
Cleo Fierro OK he's my favorite of all time too, but my comment stands - Jerry is so great at doing Dylan.
+Cleo Fierro Whoaaa easy there cowboy. I wouldn't say half assed.. This is an excellent version of an excellent song by an excellent writer. Ain't no time to hate.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind.
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise she's all right she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place.
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
Oh, how can I explain ?
It's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower frieze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees."
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him."
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man."
As she, herself prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes everything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.
Are you kidding me!!???
Louise holds a handful of rain.....

+garyshow2005 Hi garys. Lessons of life can´t be learned in a day
keep on Bobin`
+garyshow2005 well said
I felt the same way! I thought, why not Dew or Standing... what IS this song anyway? Now I find it to be right up at the top of all the primo Jerry ballads; I don't try to rank them. One of the best aspects of the Dead is that process of growing to really appreciate & love songs that first strike you as boring! A lot of more "poppy" music lacks that depth. It's that deep well that the Dead have always drawn from! At the show, we weren't there *yet*, we were still in the process of getting there! :)
garyshow2005 this was long before he left us. Its beyond beautiful and I believe he left his all on that stage. Who could not be moved by this.
garyshow2005 this. such poignant interpretation that its almost other worldly. Wonderinng if he felt it was near his time to go. The peace brings me is hard to put into words I know he had so much more to give. I pray there's peace where you are. Miss and love you.
As of writing, this is one of the most pleasing UA-cam comments pages I've seen.
And yes, this clip shows Jerry still had it right to the end.
Seems to have remained, and yeah, such a lack of negativity is so rare.
Still true.
"We're sitting here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it..." Jerry could always deliver the moment. RIP, thx forever brother
Such a sense of finality to this version. Rewind to 4/22/1986 Berkley Theater--Earth Day. The set 1 Visions of Johanna on that day is so lighthearted. The contrast in energy between 86' and 95' version s staggering.
Agreed. Just played em back to back last night, and Blonde On Blonde too.. sorry, Bob.
Tears of joy and gratitude. Thank you.
I was at this show and remember being blown away by this performance.
"Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles." -- One of Dr. Bob's best images ever, and Jerry does it justice.
NEVER GETS OLD! FOREVER GRATEFUL
Goose bumps every time ❤
every time his voice cracks, I'm done. Tears rolling.
😭😭
He gave it his all and felt those words on this night
Remember that we can all still be united in peace and love. Those magical moments together are still accessible - not as memory only but as living experience. Our love will not fade away.
Jerry is so good..Time won't decay his talent
That's the good stuff right there.
Jeff Clemetson. Absolute BEST statement I ever "heard", in relations to Jerry Garcia. That's it. There's nothing else to add, and nuthin' left to say.

Great. These songs are so precious. Love Dylan. Thank you Jerry. God bless you. 💕➕💕😇

YES his skills although brilliant were showing the dark side of the heroin addiction. Still very powerful
I'm just grateful for every bit this all we have left
Love the way Jerry sang this song.
he picked really good notes to go along with , too.
RIP my honey...
Tear in my eyes wachin' this video..!

Up to each of us to create what beauty we can while we're here. Miss you Jer....
Hats off to Garcia. Remembering all the lyrics and rendition in his style
Amazing.. it makes feel something I cannot express..40 years later I cant describe it..
I feel like this song pretty well describes how I feel at the moment. Nobody understands me like Jerry.
... or Bob, perhaps.
Jesse Greer agreed
One of my last shows before we lost, Him. R.I.P. Jerry. Thank You for a REAL GOOD Time!
You know when your at a show and your in that moment that you wish the world could feel and you'll never forget this was one of those moments for me
This brings up so many emotions when I hear it and realize that those years passed by in a gust of wind. So many things happened in my life, happy and sad things, but I am still here... And when I hear this performance I am totally back in time. And can almost cry.
This song brings out Jerry and his love of Johanna! His fav I recall
I was at this show and was blown away by the energy Jerry put into this song
Seeing how much he was enjoying this tune is a kick.
It's the BEST, Jerry!
THE BEST!!
...uncle jerry bringing raindrops to eyes....so much love!!!
Jerry- one uniquely amazing individual. So expressive. I saw this song played a few shows earlier in SLC. Goosebumps for life
saw jerry at hampton in 91 and 93 long with all the hampton shows( amongst many others) in the gd cAtologue do not miss what a wonderful world visions.... classic....
I was at this show.. the whole run was a frantic BC of the unbroken chain break out. I was 14 I don’t even remember this on my set list the just??? for it. Maybe 15 years later I was in Chile alone for months and I had the lyrics pretty right by the time I hiked out at least 1/2 of them it a long a song. Little boy lost takes himself so seriously …. likes to live to live dangerously… I don’t know how I remember lyrics I don’t remember hearing 20 prior. I don’t understand what happened in those shows but somehow the band was telling me what was coming. They always have I won’t be alone ever cause this band, thank you
I saw this Jerry a bajillion times, but not THIS Jerry, thank you for posting this. I mean he actually let's go of rosebud to be a soul rock star. He NEVER lets go of Rosebud. Rare. Phil Lesh was correct to wanna sit back and watch. I miss U all so bad. In heaven all the keyboardists will get to jam simultaneously as well. MELVIN, 2020 saw you again. You better be there as well. Jerry loved you. We do too. Keep rocking!
Wow. You know when you have that ultra moment of appreciation for all that Garcia gave us his whole life it makes you wanna cry. Special thanks to Bob Dylan, of course.
Wish I appreciated this song that night at the show as much as I appreciate it now.
I remember being upset with the song selection this night . Wow was I wrong
I heard someone say, "Your favorite hippy jam band will make you laugh & dance. But the Grateful Dead will make you cry."
Jerry has warned my soul since I was a really young lady ,seen me thru good times bad times happy and sad but the best time I ever heard him is now ! rip Jerry the music never stopps,
I"ve NEVER seen or heard this before. Love.
The beauty of wisdom. ❤️
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. This music will live forever because of folks who share their recordings. This is one of my favorite songs and to hear jerry singing it is really a gift.
Thank you very much for sharing.
It's so strange how close to the end someone can be, yet still shine like the brightest star in the cosmos. At the moment I'm wearing a Tshirt I got at the Mardi Gras run in January of that year which brought me here to this page. The ghost of his electricity still howls into the core of my being.
cause he is our Shining Star
Ten minutes of perfection.
He was a super cool man.... always nice to me and mine
How can I explain? it's so hard to get on. and these visions of Johanna...kept me up...past the dawn
The crisp sound of the dead in this live recording is wonderful.
This man and his mind, heart and soul was one of the greatest gifts the world ever received. Those beautiful, deep chords and that voice so full of emotion will forever be tide that carries the souls that listened and felt his. RIP Jerry...
"Jeez, I can't find my knees." Dylan wrote so many deep, meaningful lyrics, but for some reason this is one of my favorite lines of his. 😂
