There's a fantastic documentary on Amazon Prime (an ironic purveyor) called Long Strange Trip. It really took me back. The first time I saw the Dead was the last year they could do a small show (Family Dog) in '70, moved to Utah in '72 which limited my ability to see shows, but there's always a Hunter lyric, a Jerry riff, or a space jam that can carry me away. A lyric for our present time,

I don't know but I've been told

If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load

I don't know whose back's that strong

Maybe find out before too long...

One way or the other this darkness got to give

Was at the show that inspired this song;)
