STIR IT UP

On 3/26/88, The Grateful Dead became the biggest bar band, while tuning up between Sugaree and Minglewood at the Hampton Coliseum. Here you can see Bobby walk over to Jerry and ask him, "Do you know the lyrics?" Jerry shakes his head, as Bobby takes lead, singing the chorus. I think Bobby assumes that the after singing the chorus that the band would let the whim fizzle but they don't. The crowd sings the first line of the verse and so Bobby picks up right where they left off.
I'm going pick up on this theme in my next post.
