This is Why the Deaheads Love the Old Tapes

As we get closer to the end of holy week here, I thought I'd throw down some dueling US Blues for you...cause that's just how we roll here.

I've got two cuts of this song, separated by 11 years.  The first, from the campus of Duke University during a scorching spring tour in 1978, the latter from the 4th of July show, 1989 in Buffalo (I posted the Bertha show opener the other day).

While I'd still give certain appendages or organs to see a 1989-era Dead show live again, I swear to Jerry, God needed to wash up after the Duke show.

We're all confused, what's to lose?
