Jerry's Shining Star was always a treat. No matter how many versions I hear I'm always still right there for the ride.

I am a lyrics person, but this gentle guitar picking has me in a nice zone! Thank you for posting.

I am so very here for this Jerry Sunday.

It's amazing how Garcia projects introduced me, listening in the late 90s, to so much music that I wouldn't otherwise know.

I sent this to a good friend I thought was too hip to appreciate Jerry, only to discover he is a lifelong fan. Jerry, bringing people together as usual. Thank you so much for this, exactly what my bizarre and unsettling Sunday needed.

I miss Jerry.

Also, I listened to a live version of "Stinkfoot" yesterday.

I was hoping that this was a cover of Earth Wind and Fire's Shining Star because that sounded so good. I did not get the song I was expecting but I was not disappointed.

Imagining a cover of that song over that hippie boogie-beat feel....no thanks

Sorry this is an easy and affirming thread, you'll need to take those dismissive vibes out of here.
