Forum MVP DesertDead Posted November 24, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I haven’t nailed it down, but I like my Row Jimmy in the second half of the first set. Lots of dependencies, like how many total songs are in the set, what precedes it, what comes after - all need to be considered. What sort of Row Jimmy logic do you have to offer?

Forum MVP John A Posted November 24, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Agreed. Mid to late first set. I want Jerry to be a tad lathered up before diving into that gem. Not to mention giving Healy some time to make sure the sound is just exactly perfect. Remember upon the return of Bird Song in the early 80s it would appear 2nd or 3rd song? Just like Row Jimmy, Jerry needs a wait a bit for that one. Which of course is exactly what happened. As a tangential subject, the way first sets morphed into oft only 3 Jerry songs was a very unfortunate development. 😟 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I agree with it being a good fit later in the first set. Just in time for some cool, blue, calming tones to help cradle an excited mind. I would say I like it to smooth everything out and give the audience a breather after something raucous where the house gets all hot and sweaty, like a cowboy suite, Minglewood, maybe Passenger, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP BillK522 Posted November 24, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Last second set play 77/03/20 Winterland. Spent some time in the second 73/74. Good song for lateral dance space. Praise DSO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted November 24, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Row Jimmy goes all the way back to my beginnings in the Dead world for me. Wake of the flood was an early album purchase choice. I was ‘aware’ when they delivered it to us at my second show. (Later first set) I remember at the tail end of the song, Bobby was holding the neck of his guitar with both hands, as it were an oar, moving it as if he were paddling. And I say row, Jimmy, row..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All qualifiers about: -liking the song -wishing JG was around to deliver us one -I wouldn’t be throwing my hands in the air like a douche and complaining or anything of the sort But if I could design 2-3 shows worth of lists, RJ would be in one of those sets, but it damn well would not be in the 2 hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
