As I was walkin' round Grosvenor Square |
|
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air From the other direction she was calling my eye It could be an illusion but I might as well try Might as well try.
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes, And I knew without askin' she was into the blues Scarlet begonias tucked into her curls I knew right away she was not like other girls-- other girls
In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff As I picked up my matches and was closing the door I had one of those flashes: I'd been there before-- been there before.
I ain't often right but I've never been wrong It seldom turns out the way it does in the song Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right
Well there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues And there's nothing wrong with the love that's in her eye I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by-- let her pass by
The wind in the willows played Tea for Two The sky was yellow and the sun was blue Strangers stopped strangers just to shake their hand Everybody's playing in the Heart of Gold Band Heart of Gold Band

11/1/79 (35 minutes! Brent gets extra-funky) 7/3/84 (Scarlet>Touch>Fire, very underrated, gets an upbeat treatment) 8/30/80 (Another underrted version...the drummers play double-time on Scarlet, aand the closing Fire jam is exceptional) 5-8-77 (of course!)

March 19, 1995. Philadelphia Spectrum. It was incredible to witness a hall full of Deadheads react to the first live performance of Unbroken Chain. The Philly run were the last Jerry shows for me.
On edit: it was also the first time I didn't hear anyone chanting "Don't let Phil sing!":)
