Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted October 15, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yep, it does seem like neither rhyme nor reason to these things. I do remember a Phil and Friends show in Denver some years ago where they played it. Hearing it live was very cool after a lifetime of only on disks or tapes.

Forum MVP John A Posted October 15, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 hard to tell why they stopped &/or re-started playing anything Indeed. One of the more vexing puzzles in general. Then again, certainly we think about these things far more than they ever did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher44 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Funny this topic was offered up, as I was just last night listening to the fine elective show from 5/28/10 in Hampton Beach, which includes a great version of Mason's Children, and I was asking myself the same question. Why, oh why? The vocal harmonies can be so sweet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP jfolks Posted October 19, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think there may actually be a discussion as to why this song was dropped in Long Strange Trip by Dennis McNally. If I can remember to do so, I'll see what I can find in the text (gotta love indices!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeyedbert Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 one of the most underrated songs in my opinion and only played a handful of times in the earlier years... he was a friend of mine I love Jerry's vocals on He was a Friend of Mine on anyone I've ever heard. That first solo is usually a smoker too. The song kind of reminds of the Death Don'ts of the times, a slow song that Jerry just shreds the center of. The first time I heard He Was A Friend of Mine was last year, DSO in Covington. I had never heard the song from the Grateful Dead. I've got 3-4 versions now though I don't know exactly where they all are. Its a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
