    Funny, my wife and I are huge Dave fans and were just talking about this after MSG 1. We both agreed that Dave's version blows PJ's away. There is nothing special about PJ's version and it's unnecessary when you consider all the other covers they do so well -- Baba, Fuckin' Up, RITFW, Leaving Here. Their Watchtower is bland by comparison and it's been done to death by so many other bands.

    Looking forward to seeing Dave in Hershey, hopefully my voice will come back by then. :)

    in 2001 I saw DMB in charlottesville va and neil opened for them (should have been the other way around)

    Neil joined them for ATW and it was great. I was at SF III in 2006 when PJ did it and I call it a tie!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride" ! Unknown
