I admit I haven't really followed the band since 2009, 2010, I never heard this cover until last night on the DMB SirusXM channel, damn it was awesome! Thanks for posting
I COULD be wrong and here goes…but I was SOBER as it gets in 2008 when they did this at the gorge.. I again could be wrong but I feel like I am watching the every move that was so important to EVERY DMB fan that weekend…. Perhaps I am wrong that Dave puts on the same hat 3 years later afar the death of one of his closest friends and the first time he takes stage from that moment forward…. but Ya know to me it seems like a kinda an important moment..Ohhhh and Rashawn, Love him. He has really changed from year to year. I support all that he does to take care of himself…… Do whatever you need to do, but this video is at the Gorge ,2008.. It was the first set of shows that the band took stage to after the tragic death of LeRoi Moore…. I pause as I type that. It stops my heart. He is really gone. He can't grace us anymore…. But these men DO…. They go out and OMG do they love upon us like we were some homeless puppies. Be grateful!!! Ge amazing to them…. Be Thankful… Most of all…. show some damn respect. This band still allows recording…. do you have a CLUE where this goes back to? DO your research fool….look back into "The Grateful Dead" These were people who desired to share music. Most musicians I have known really want to share their craft….with anyone. DMB of course wants to make a living…. I do and they do…. we all do. HOWEVER there is the most magical part ever…. They also want to share. So share…. tell your friends about their music…. let them hear it. Just label the concert right…. I was there. I was SOBER… (at the gorge right?) … but yes…. it was THAT important to me….ohhh and it may have been Night 2…one of three MIND blowing OMG did that just happen moments tend to run a bit together…..
Best part was as we were all walking out some guy was yelling "thank you for letting me be myself...again." and we all broke out into "you sexy mutha fuckaaaaaa".....EPIC weekend!
Such a great weekend, My friends and I came home with 2 setlist, a drumstick, and if you watch this video at 5:02 you can see the "Labor Dave" T-Shirt that we threw on stage. You can also see Steph hold it up at the end of the show! here's the link of the design, See everyone next year!
