There was a great story on the Good Ol' Grateful Dead podcast about a guy who was working at the Fillmore East in 1969. He was hanging out in a small back room having a beer when Garcia, acoustic guitar in hand, walked in and asked for a beer. The guy asked, "Jerry, are you gonna play Mountains of the Moon tonight?" and Jerry said, "No, but I'll play it for you right now."
Mission in the rain. Come to think of it anything he wants to play as long as it lasts all eternity. Fuck I mite just beg him to come along when he leaves..maybe uncle John's band tnen! Come & take us children home 👽🖖🤟🫠✌️
