Just think -- the Grateful Dead provided all of us with a truly amazing experience for 30 years, and Jerry, as well as BobBillMickeyPhil, NEVER got to experience the thing that we all loved so much.

When I got to the "I'd rather be with you coda", it occurred to me that I would rather be out in the audience enjoying the show -- even though playing live music is my favorite thing in the world. (I was there!) It was an outdoor scene with a fairly large and intense crowd. Here's a thought about the "I'd rather be with you" coda in Standing on the Moon.
