In my long article about the Greek shows, I asked about a song, "Comes a Time". A D'Head from New Jersey (whose name I've forgotten already-- sorry 'bout that!) called to fill me in. The song comes from Garcia's solo album "Reflections" (circa '76). Now I'm curious to know if the Dead have ever played it before. I also neglected to mention "Walkin' Blues" from the Sunday show as yet another of the really hot songs brought out of the past for the anniversary shows. -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...I'm not cynical - just experienced.

And yes, the Dead have played it before. At one time I had a tape (since lost) of the Dead playing it at Felt Form (exact time of show and location of Felt Forum forgotten). I lost the tape when my backpack was ripped off once. Too bad, because it was a good tape. It also had a version of the Dead playing "Wash My Hands (In Muddy Waters)". Anyone know the origin of the latter song, or know what show I'm talking about?

The Dead have played "Comes A Time" some 34 times since they first played it live in 1971. The statistics I have are: '71 8, '72 6, '76 6, '77 5, '78 1, '79 1, '80 7 (acoustic). There are several wonderful versions where Jerry's voice holds out well, especially in 71-72. --John

The last time i can think of that the dead played "Comes a Time" is in May of 1980 in Hartford. (At least on the right coast (~);=}. I know thy also used to play it alittle in the late 70's but the dates have slipped me. I do believe "She belongs to me" is the correct name of the tune jerry has been so wonderfully singing. The other "New" Dylan tune that Phil has sung is "Just like Tom Thumbs' blues" (I think .. help?) Thanks to all for the reviews of th Greeks, (even though i become temporarily usless when i read what was played!). I look forward to seeing some 'reviews' of the Alpine shows. (Strike two). But.... I will not need to read reviews from spac -->> Merryweather P.P. (~);=} .... yes that is a large smile on my face !!! If you read this net and see shows == mention it ya never know who ya might run into ..... 'I don't know but i've been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold, on the hand, i've heard it said: 'it's just as hard with the weight of lead.....'' pasta fazool josepi --> yo-sep-ee (pronounse me right down, mau) keep a cone on your nose

The dead played four shows at the felt forum in '71 (Dec. 4-7). The show you mention was 12-5-71. Although I haven't heard it, the second set had a wild combo: dark star -> me & my uncle -> dark star -> sitting on top of the world. Anyone heard this particular piece of lunacy? - Jim
