Grateful Dead Music Forum

I always liked Day Job...still do. And yes, you can hear that Jerry enjoyed playing it. At that tempo I liked it better than what Deal became. I liked the slower chugging shuffle approach to Deal rather than the "mile a minute" take.

Samba In the Rain...nah. It's an OK tune, it just doesn't resonate with me as a "Dead tune".

I can see that. Very much a Vince tune!

A Day Job with a good solo is Ventura 7/22/84. Check it out. Skip to the solo if you don't like the song. I like that brief diminished chord/scale in there.

But it is a song I could live without ever playing...

I like Day job too for all the reasons Fred stated...........

real smoking one is Fox Theater 10/28/85 encore

... are the ones that we aren't screwing up.

I am just waiting for the right moment to throw Satisfaction at the dudes
