In my last post I had analyzed some of the lyrics from “We Can Run” by the Grateful Dead. I wanted to share this YouTube video of a live performance in Raleigh, NC 7/10/90.
Sang by keyboardist Brent Mydland, “We Can Run” captures the disgruntled way humans have treated the planet.
Brent Mydland added so much to the band in his time as keyboardist. Bob Weir has stated that he believes the band was at its peak with the presence of Brent. Weir claims that the vocal mix between himself, Garcia, and Mydland created the perfect sound.
I love Brent songs and I think this version of “We Can Run” is super good. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
