The start was too slow for Suzanne. They picked it up and figured it out. The initial struggle is what makes it interesting. They did a good job capturing the vibe of the original version.
I was there ... and saw the Dead like 75-80 times ... this night was particularly fun and also had other guests like Hall & Oates and Jack Cassidy ... Benefit for Rainforest Action Network.
Whoa! Rough start there friends! I'm not at all familiar with this song but from what I can tell here, this is a hard song to sing. I can't tell whether or not they ever really get a hold of this one.
It is truly a shame that they didn’t seem to have rehearsed this enough. I’ve seen Robyn Hitchcock live more than any other artist including the Dead! Check my channel if you’re a RH fan.
😳 Alas, I am now personally vindicated in a sea of understanding as to why I could never get into the dead. The Dead...with their extensive catalogue of flat lining melodies, forgettable lyrics and “Psychedelia” as high reaching as the Rocky Mountains of John Denver and the myth of “Musicianship” I was always told they atleast had....if only I heard them live, and on 3 hits of sunshine blodder acid....just got killed by an artist named Hitchcock and I don’t mean Alfred.....Robyn is his name...and he deserves ALL the fame that these guys should be beyond grateful to have thanks to their inability to give it where it’s due. Long LIVE Robyn Hitchcock!
Jerry looks like he is literally as big as King Kong playing next to Vega. I love it!
Love me some Dead, some Robyn Hitchcock, and Suzanne Vega. Globe of Frogs is such a great album.

Chinese Bones is magnificent. Thanks for posting this.
It's amazing.
Was the highlight of the entire show for sure. Jerry couldn't sing at all that night.
Yes, he had caught a cold.
obviously not rehearsed but good nonetheless (Robyn Hitchcock & Dead fan here) What an eclectic mix here.
takes the band about 3 or so minutes to get on the same page but then its good! great song! i love suzanne's cover of china doll so much too
Yes! It really becomes something special as it goes.
How bout them apples
Only Dead fans would praise a band after saying it "took them 3 or so minutes to get on the same page" 😂

Wow! NIce!
Mick Taylor too !!
IWT and have loved this segment of the show ever since! ❤
She does 2 songs with them. Don’t forget “Neighborhood Girls !”
Love that song… I never knew she performed it with JG!
Wow, this looks like it was taken from my seat! Thanks for posting.
Outstanding!
Epic🌹
Jerry is being easy here, just rolling in and out as he usually does with Guests

Cool :) I wonder if the Dead knew about him?
It’s a she , Suzanne Vega !!

Most unusual.

Long LIVE Robyn Hitchcock!
garcias left hand saved my life when i was sick and dying with an undiagnosed illness. what a piece of shit that guy is
You've got to be kidding
Sorry Robyn Hitchcock fans. The Dead would never be tight and disciplined enough to please you. I know people who are fans of both so, go figure.

Great band, great song, worst cover ever. Hitchcock is the best, and I was a Deadhead.
