sonomajon Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 okay let me preface this with the statement that i am a self-proclaimed comes a time aficionado.. i have ranted about this song on here before, as it is my favorite grateful dead/jerry song of all time. it is my most spiritual song of the whole catalog. that 76 shrine aud CaT is okay.. but its not even close to the best. the vocals are pretty strong and the segue is cool, but there's better guitar work out there.. the best comes a time: 5-21-77 lakeland, FL... (this show is on dicks picks 29, so its not on the archive). listen to jerry's vocal.. fucking sublime.. and the first guitar solo-- HOLY SHIT BALLS! i mean this jerry solo may actually make you cry (or high, one of the 2 for sure). and my favorite post-keith comes a time is: 4-4-87. http://www.archive.o...21.sbeok.flac16 check out the hand jive that follows! happy listening! caution: listener may experience extreme happiness and euphoria OK ....so 5-21-77 has not been part of my collection...DL'd today and that Comes a Time is indeed awesome...right at the same level as 5-9 for me...it's a draw...just happy to have another face melting version...thx!

Forum MVP John A Posted July 19, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 It may not be regarded as the best but my favorite is 6-24-85 Cincinnati. That might indeed be the best of the '85 selections. What is it about '85 and the plethora of great/interesting songs selections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP bs69 Posted July 19, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 This song made me a Dead Head. It may not be regarded as the best but my favorite is 6-24-85 Cincinnati. I think you hit the nail on the head here. The "best" doesn't have to be your favorite. The one mentioned above is special to me because it was my first, but I still like 5-9-77 the best.

woodpile Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yesterday while at the gym I searched my i-pod for all of the versions of Comes A Time that I have, and to my surprise I actually did hear the band play it on 10/9/94. Unfortunately I was only 17 at the time and didnt even know the song since I was only familiar with the more well known Dead songs as a young Dead Head.The version that I heard live was sadly a shadow of what it was in the 70's,played pretty fast and only about 6 minutes long.

I heard a cassette version many years back of that (the only) '94 version and thought there was a speed problem with the recording. Maybe not, eh?!?
