The video effects and editing are unimpressive these days but strangely it still all works as whole. Always enjoyed this performance.

Here is the last song he ever sang (from 7/9/95).
Terrible bootleg vid and Jerry is 53 going on 80.
Fifteen years went by fast!

His death was one of those times you always remember where you were. I was in my car brown bagging for lunch listening to the radio when word got out.

His music will be around for a long time.

AH- Thanks for posting "Eyes". That is the quintessential version of the song. 10-19-74 at Winterland from the GD movie. Yowza!

Jerry is still the man

Patchwork Quilt

I never knew you
But then who really did?
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
A patchwork quilt of a life
Memories embroidered
On your soul

So please forgive me
For putting you in my song
But the spirit she moves me
In fact she pushes me along
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
Can't stop the river
Just let it roll

We were at Jones Beach
When we got the word
Saddest sound that I ever heard
The bluest note that nobody could play
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
And in the way

So walk beside me
Or above me, I don't know
These days it sure seems
I'm lost where ever I go

God, how could you, I heard someone say
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
Now that our North Star can no longer be found

But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
Hippies dance and babies cry
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
Bright lights, Dark Star

I never knew you
But then who really did
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid

Some of my favorite Jerry was the acoustic stuff they did in 1980-81
