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 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. ☮️🌈🌹💀🐢✌🏼
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 RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vZ8-_y3OpEM.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..
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.
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...
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 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"...
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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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 (~);-}
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.
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.
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!
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..
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.
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
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.
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
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)
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.
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
