Forum MVP comesatime Posted May 19, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 One or two moments, a piece of your time Is all that I'm asking, and I'll give you mine One or two moments out of all you have got To show how I love you, believe it or not Remember the day I rolled in to town With my heart in my shoes, with my head hanging down Now my only trouble, the rest I forgot Is to show how I love you, believe it or not Done time in the lockup, done time in the street Done time on the upswing and time in defeat I know what I'm asking, and I know it's a lot When I say that I love you, believe it or not I know I'm no angel, my prospects are high As the flood line in summer when the river's gone dry But I'll roll up my shirt-sleeves and make my best shot To show how I love you, believe it or not Right now while the sun shines on the crest of the hill With a breeze in the pines and a grey whippoorwill Making music together that guitars never caught Let me show how I love you, believe it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2inboulder Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Great song. I wish they would have kept it in the lineup. I saw the first one (?) @ Alpine Valley on 6/23/88. Severed the heart strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted May 19, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Making music together that guitars never caught Garcia never sang this line, but rather "in a world time forgot." When I first heard the song, I thought he was saying "many words I've forgot", which of course would have been equally appropriate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedbert Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I saw the last one. Copps Colisium 3-22-90. I've only seen 39 shows so I guess I was lucky. Funny thing is, I was probably bored during it. Young, just jumping on the bus, clueless. Here is a laugher. Copps was my 4th and 5th shows. It was at these 2 shows I discovered this guy named Jerry Garcia. Up until this point I was unimpressed, lol. Scarlet-Fire showed me the way. It turned out the guy could play.

Guest Charles from Oregon Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I also was at the Alpine 88, and the Rochester 88, Listen to the one from Silver stadium think it was the best one by far. Awesome song, but would have to agree about Stella blue and Comes a time. I think my favorite is Missisippi Moon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Garcia was absolutely crackling at Rochester. And I as well was at both shows, plus Laguna Seca the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I as well was at both shows, plus Laguna Seca the next month. opened the second set with Green Onions>China /Ryder right? I did Laguna in 1987 when they taped the Touch of Grey video..... remember those four hours cheering the band on as they lipscynched Touch? We thought for sure they would they do a midnight set for us, but they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted May 21, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 opened the second set with Green Onions>China /Ryder right? Correct. With a couple crazy Phil bombs in the Rider, followed by Phil insanity in the Samson intro. Jerry's vocals are so crystal clear during Believe It on my audience tape (FOB Schoeps omnis -> Sony PCM F1) that you could easily convince somebody it was a board!!
