One of my favorite shows! Never get tired of watching Jerry thrash!
Jerry Garcia's father drowned as 6 year old Jerry watched, swimming in the river about a half our drive away from where I live in Humboldt County, California and I cannot listen to this song without getting chills, Mamma said don't go near that river. He sounds so emotional singing that line, that I cannot listen to it without crying.
No comment phawk San Rafael Marin county San Francisco California rastafari.

Yes Adrienne, great song, that Jerry makes his own, emotional and ambigious. We all have mothers who warned us to join Catfish John...

Well then listen to it every day until the crying stops. Jeez lady
@@ryanmurtha2392 You're on "The Golden Road" huh Bruh
PISS off
Always got Jerry’s grooves in my ear 24/7 makes my day
Always makes a cool day aye brother
Thank God it's only in my bone marrow
Amen. As humans, we see music as art, and it's valuable in an abstract sense, but it's as real as the wind, the dirt, our hopes, our greed, and everything in between. It is mental currency...best attempt at a weird thought at a late hour...
time and place for everything, how many times has he taken us to a better place....
EVERY time, main man!!
Every damn time.over and over again.
Each & every. Feels like yesterday I was lightning a candle and dancing with tears in my eyes on that sad day in August 1995. My best friend killed himself just a few months later. ...life. Thx to all tapers of every sort.
Every time I need him to; always delivers..

His music the way he makes every song his own always makes me smile
He always said
The greatest gift you can give to a musician is to take their song and make it your own
Thank you for all the beautiful songs Jerry
You definitely influenced my music playing
💯💯💯
👍🏼✌🏽
A nine year old me is going to bed for the night listening to WNEW minutes away while they played. This comforts me all these years later.
How lucky were we to have a DJ like Scott Muni!!
best version of this song. jerry always makes my heart sing no matter what
I agree, love this song :)
+Kevin McLaren Yes it's available JGB in 80..I'll have to check the title of the LP..
Anthony Davis I think it's After Midnight

Pass it down, I am😇
I think mr catfish john would be a cool dude to chill with,get loaded down by the river,nice sunny weather make a day of it fishing drinking ,play sum tunes on that beat up beautiful acoustic guitar.John caught the fish yeah and i cook it that was the deal we made,haha catfish knows the best spots to throw your hook and worm .Ever man has a good story,peace,respect and love from new Zealand
For all these years I never enjoyed the pleasures that fantastic music can bring...my head was in another place until now...now I want to repent!
I too have sinned and never revered the music that was available locally...I want to repent...
I just found out a few months ago that Jerry didn't write this song. Because the way he performs it, he owns it. To me Jerry is unrivaled in improvisational skills and I always love his singing as well. What a great performance of this wonderful song.
I first heard it as a bluegrass song. I think Mac Wiseman.
I totally thought it was a Jerry/Hunter song at first too.
The best at telling a story with his guitar. Love ya Jer
Yes I. To see them perform swamp bug mud love buddy tone aihlers.... Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo epic. Man i was born like 20 years too late
Why?
Jerry Garcia, does it get any better than the solos in this song?
Guitar and keyboard solo's are so far out... Awesome!
That is some sick synth.
my favorite particular recording of this song
funky ass keyboard solo!!!
Jerry came up with the most interesting stuff, all original and it always worked and rocked. Think of the peeps he's played with. Love you pappy
This is the best version, ever !
From a Dead perspective I agree. Jerry also did this number when he played with Old and In The Way. You might want to check them out on Spotify...classic bluegrass band with Vassar Clements on the fiddle....another great version is done by Alison Krauss (a voice to die for) with Jerry Douglas on the slide guitar....great version
he not gone juss gona miss him wen he not around!!! luv ya
Such a killer song, especially the piano solo in the middle, also Jerry’s soloing
That’s most of it right there
one of my all time favorite JGB covers!!!
WOW,,, trippin on this,,, soooooo sweeeet
Born a saint in the town of Vicksburgh...traded for a chestnut mare. no he never spoke in anger, though his load was hard to bear. I miss you Jerry....

Thank you
*slave, not saint
I ain't bowing before no man but will concede we all have at least one drop of African blood.
@kkh369 your information runs the gamut from poorly informed to racial douchebaggery. Congratulations.
I remember playing with elf spice and having the studio version come on at full blast. Just bliss.
RIP Johnny Russell, RIP Jerry 🍻🦅
We love and miss you jerry!

A GREAT player!

one handed?
Did Jerry's guitar playing ever again reach the heights of this 1980 winter run? I'm not sure & if so I think it's w/JGB. Honest question from a lifelong fan but not a guitar player or musician of any kind sadly. After 1974 there were great shows & undoubtedly moments of brilliance but for me it's JGB where the magic happened. There's a handful of songs I love that came after '74 so I occasionally will listen to some 76-77 shows but don't ever make it through a full show. The 90-91 shows w/Hornsby & Branford are my favorites after Mickey's return in '75. Also a Capital Theater show from '76. It'd been ages since I had listened to a 2 drummer show when I decided to listen with an open mind to the famous Cornell '77 show & was really disappointed. I'd loved it growing up & the fact that it was such a high quality recording meant that was usually one of the first tapes received when getting into the wonderful tape trading community undoubtedly helped it become a "legendary" show. Maybe it is, but I was really disappointed after not hearing it for a number of years. No judgment, or whatnot, music is a personal thing & as such whatever one likes is right. But for me there's a freedom & lightness in JGB that I think was missing at times as their popularity grew & the "scene" exploded. It's almost like JGB was not just an escape from that but nearly
...therapy. The man just loved to play & JGB provided an outlet that for the most part GD no longer could. Just my personal take. We're all fans & there's no right or wrong. ✌🏽
Man this song will always bring back fond memories of a good friend i had growing up, he was sorta like a father figure. My mom always hated me hanging with em ahahahahaha may him and the boys indulge in heaven 🙏
Like butter!
JERRY
Saw Jerry at my first Dead show about 5 months later. He had the same black t-shirt haha. Miss ya big guy!
Of course it may have been an identical black T-shirt, couldn't it?
Killer!!!
HARD!!!
I love music. Music showed me a healthy way of life and saved my life with teachings of respect and love an honesty and peace much love also is nothing like bong rips I'm laying with your doggies in the morning
Sooo Sweet ~ Thank You Jerry !
I can’t believe how popular this song was and is , i remember Johnny Russell singing it on the wilburn bros show back in the 70’s
Garcia was a Master at his chosen professions!!
Miss You Capt. Tripps!!

Picture yourself the mother of a young man going out to the River Jordan to meet up with John in the morning about 2000 years ago. "Take me back to a time so long ago." Dangerous stuff. She'd be worried as Herod was after him and the Jews were slaves, especially if they spoke up. I love this song and miss my Uncle. The song is a bit of a metaphor for parents and elders not always being right about everything.
Yeah, I think I'm going to send this link to my son to give him a message (don't go listening to your Mom), but, uhhmmm, I think the author was talking about a slave from Vicksburg, not a slave from Bethlehem or Masada. Of course, the message could be timeless.
Send it to him! Tell him to question authority when he believes strongly about ant anything. On the Vicksburg thing, yes that is a common conceit: my premise is that Huckleberry Finn and his Mississippi River is juxtaposed with the River Jordan and Jim's name was changed to John to complete the imagery. Biblical imagery in Grateful Dead lyrics are pervasive and wonderful. We all take from the music what we take. I find it beautiful and has always been a big part of my life. Peace to you, your son and even your wife too! :-)
it's likely an allusion--as the writer of those lyrics sang gospel music sometimes
⚡ Love You Jerry ⚡
❤❤❤ There ain’t enough heart emojis in the world 🌎
why is music today full of hate. miss this music.
Not all of it !
Ozzie!
that second solo is HOT
This is my favorite song

Ahhh yeahhhhh.
Damn Jerry and Band …🔥🔥🔥🔥
6:13 my soul really enjoy those notes
Jerry is jamming out
And the best part is he knows it too.
love ya jerry!
Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John."
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago,
When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow.
Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river's bed,
Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend.
Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John."
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare,
Lord her never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear.
Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
What a gem right here! Wish they would of put this on DVD with the release of this show on cd!
It is available on CD.
no this night is not available on CD... the night before 2/28/80 is available on CD as "After Midnight"
100% this made it to cd. I would buy the dvd if it came out too!

I've done just that many a time paddling around the Canadian hinterland with this just cranked ( to the dismay of the local moose).
Nice love you too canoiuu trip.leather kayaking maybe Phish. Chilling crack a beer spiffs. Yes I Canada
Local moose yes I worlds biggest deer 🦌. Only.seen em in Sweden. Not as Big as noram. But Big.read Farley mowatt never cry wolf. And some Canadian dude. Late sixties. The bears and I. Good Shiite. Also this is really weird.. I'm from San Francisco. But I loved Montreal expos.. Tim.raines Andre Dawson Gary Carter Warren cromartie Tim wallach. Maples Birch spruce Beach ah , The peat..wait. that's Irish. Moose head
1980- most everybody added in a Stevie Wonder-style synthesizer solo, JGB included! Fits well with Jerry's mag slow-steppin' solos! Like a New Orleans procession.
Saint Jerome ❤
It was all *AZ REAL aZ a DREAM . . . . .*

@5:09 woowee!
is this the same lineup as the After Midnight release that had one of the sweetest renditions of this song I've ever heard? I just can't remember if it was from 2/28/80 or 81 so if it was 80 it was the day before this version
I know the bass is the same. I'm not sure who is on the keys but holy moses.Also, After Midnight is the coolest thing Jerry did in my opinion lol.
Robert Dicarlo yeah dude it makes it almost sound a little "Jam-Tronica"ish if you know what I mean by that... like the Biscuits and Lotus.... bands like that
