Cassidy

Today I want to share a super cool live performance of Cassidy from 1993.

Thinking of how this performance was just 2 years prior to Jerry Garcia passing away. It is interesting how you can hear the changes, the negative changes, in his voice near the end of his time.

Of course, this song is not sung by Jerry but by Bob Weir. Cassidy also appeared on Bob Weir’s first solo album titled “Ace”.

My parents named me after this song. That is what my dad tells me at least, my mom always tells me that she had just always liked the name.

However, it is way cooler to be named after a Grateful Dead song than to just have your mom like the name!

Nonetheless, it has to be one of my all-time favorite songs. I hope you give it a listen and enjoy it!
