      We were too busy out watching him tour with Dead and Company to catch this one! :D :D :D It's nice to see him playing the PRS and bringing a bit of jerry band vibe into the fold with his solo work... i think it is his calling.... not to be garcia, but to be a lot like him with his musical style and folding the GD songbook into his own. GD songbook is great because so many are already covers as is, music that should keep being passed down through generations.

    I heard this song done many many years ago at a fireworks show by a local band. Now about 50 years later I finally tracked it down by Grateful Dead (they didn't do it as well as the local band). So I got the bright idea of looking up cover songs and tried a couple and that's when I saw it by Mayer. Knew the guitar was going to be awesome as well as the vocals.

    Bobby should stick to Bobby tunes and John Mayer should take a stab at Jerry tunes. Just like this video. Love it. It is just unnatural and weird to me to hear Bobby sing Jerry's songs. I cant even imaging Bobby singing Morning Dew.

    • @bluecollar825
      @bluecollar825 3 роки тому

      Do Dead & Co not play Morning Dew? I apologize for my ignorance, I go to DSO for my GD fixes. Only been to a couple Dead & Co gigs. They're fine, I just prefer DSO. I been down with them longer snd since they started covering 60s shows and doing more elective set lists they leveled up imo...✌

    Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
    Get up, get out, get out of the door
    Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor
    Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.
    There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
    Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down.
    Fire! fire on the mountain!
    Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat
    It takes all you got just to stay on the beat.
    You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
    But you're here alone, there's no one to compete.
    If mercy's a business, i wish it for you
    More than just ashes when your dreams come true.
    Fire! fire on the mountain!
    Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?
    Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.
    The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
    You gave all you had. why you want to give more?
    The more that you give, the more it will take
    To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.
    Fire! fire on the mountain!
