I, too, prefer the original, mostly because I don't like the vocal range on this cover (David Lowery? Yeah, well, I had to google that). Still, it's great to hear variety. It's why I love RP.

8 > 9

Love this cover!

A quality cover that does justice to the original.... well done

Wow.  Nice work, Bill.  It's not every day that you hear this one— unless you're in my garage, of course.  I bought this CD when it was new ('94?) and it's one of a few that are in heavy rotation right now when I'm working on the cars.  Good stuff.  David Lowrey is brilliant.  Although the 80-something blank tracks on the disc throw off the wrenching mojo just a bit.  : )

Not a bad Dead cover.  I'll always prefer the original, but it's nice to hear.

Nice Solo

My favorite version....the Knickerbocker 3-24-90 version.  That whole show was sick.  Favorite GD show I went to easy.

GD 3-24-90 Knickerbocker Albany Loser

This version, 9. Jerry's version on "Garcia", 10.

Seriously? They are still making music and touring non-stop. And sound great doing so.

Come on, it's not necessary to insult people... but then again, Stinger has done his fair share of that.

BTW, this song is excellent.

Man you really are a piece of work.  Figures you would like this song - Loser. Uh, go figure.

Better than the last song but still making me want to switch to my iTunes. 

This is the way I like my Dead, covered. . .

AAAAAAAAAAH....!!!!

This is true class. FIRST-LEAGUE!

How woooonderful!

CRACKER is one of the best US-bands!
And nobody knows...

What to expect from a country
with a (ex-)president that cannot count to ten!

My "10" goes to CRACKER!

Always - especially here for this song!

Woooow!

Plz play Dave Alvin's version!

for me boils down to lyrics, and Hunter being a most tremendous writer.

Great, love Cracker and their soul.

Because Lowey was in Camper Van Beethoven? Is that why we want to say it?
Listening to this right now I couldn't help but think "what a great  version"—-the voice has the insouciance (an I don't give a damn quality) that i associate in my imagination with the that whole gambler/drifter life. Very cool. I don't understand why others can't hear it. Whatever.

It's ok... but a little uninspired.

Another Tom Petty-a-like sound...

How can a song that has so much feeling get done with no such feeling? Worse than Zzzzz, sorry Cracker fans.

In the '70's, I never thought that I would never miss Jerry's voice. Now I hear Cracker sing this and think, Boy, do I miss Jerry's voice.

Decent cover of a great song. Have played a lot of cards to this and others by Jerry and Co. Funny that the Dead got into all these desperado tunes. Nothing very desperado about a bunch of S.F. hippies recording, touring, and partying...
