    Thank you for sharing this. Today my brother is gone three years. He loved the GD and was a real Deadhead. I have some of his set lists, his Deadbase that he marked up, and his big collection of CDs. He had a GD tattoo. After he broke his neck in the Army Airborne, he couldn't dance any more but at concerts, he would dance his own way in his wheelchair. He was such a wonderful person, I could never explain adequately. But the GD and music in general was a huge part of his life and a big source of comfort and joy after his injury.

    Little did Jerry know when playing this song that in 6 years, 1 month, and 1 week, we'd have tears welling in our eyes, thinking of him as we listen... Now he's the one who is gone. He stole your face off your head the way it should have been. For those who don't know, this song was written for the events that transpired after Lenny Hart stole $160,000 from the band and fled to California. There, he would become a minister and met his demise through drug abuse. Today, and since the day it was first performed, to us deadheads, it can be a song in memoriam of anyone who has passed away, or stole from us and isn't coming back. That's one thing I love about their songwriting and performance. The lyrics were vague for that exact reason: Hunter wished it to be open to interpretation, and the band followed along with this spirit of the music being whatever it could be to the fans. Jerry said once in an interview something along these lines: whatever they take from it in the moment, however they apply it to their lives, it's a personal thing and it's meant to be that way. Your perception of their artwork is yours and yours alone, and you can never let anyone take that from you. Be open to listening to what others have taken from the music (it's a grate way to get to know them) while knowing that your interpretation cannot be altered or changed. The only way it can be affected is in a positive way as you incorporate their experience into your own, creating a synergetic effect when you relisten or even reminisce about what you've heard. I hope that makes sense. That idea is a bit complex, you might want to read it again. Peace and love to everyone, and in particular, those who read all the way through this long, rambling comment about it all! My love is for real and will not fade away!

    I will never forget for as long as I live the day I woke up and herd the news that Jerry died. I had just gotten laid off of work 5 days earlier. I said "fuck it" and gathered up some clothed and jumped in my van to head to San Francisco to meet with all the dead heads that I knew would be thinking like me. When I got into my van I just happen to have a cassette from a late 70's show in the deck and wouldn't you know when I started up the van this song was playing. Blew me away.

    Start watching around 3:06. After Jerry sings "Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!", they cut to Brent and he is smiling. Then they cut back to show Jerry smiling because the audience loved it! Jerry's reaction to the crowd reaction is beautiful and priceless.

    I drove from NYC to see this show. Hit a bottleneck getting into the parking lot. The sun was beating strong and we were in a stand still for over an hour.
    While waiting in this line of cars, suddenly a car smashed into me in the back. My car wasn't even running. Apparently some young woman was playing with her bf's stick shift car and the car lunged into my rear. Finally, parked the car, and proceeded to find some tickets. Bought 2 tickets off of some guy and proceeded to the stadium. Had already missed 1st set.
    Got to the stadium and presented our tickets. They were both counterfeit. I can honestly say I had a crummy day.
    I am so glad that eventually I got to see the show on video. Seeing Jerry wide awake and smiling makes me smile smile smile.

    My dad passed yesterday, and I came across this version for the first time. It's always going to hold a special place in my heart. The interaction between Brent and Jerry, and watching how they basically are telepathic, is incredibly beautiful. Them softly doing the "ooh, nothing's going to bring him back" repeatedly starting at 8:00 is so beautiful.

Always been a great song but it took on a lot more meaning for me after he passed away. I know the lyrics aren't exactly about that subject matter but nonetheless has been my go to song when I want to remember him.
