Lazy Lightning > Supplication
11/9/79 Buffalo Auditorium, Buffalo, NY
The very prolific reviewer on LMA who goes by the moniker ‘capn doubledose’ says this version of Lazy Lightning > Supplication is “easily one of the best ever done.” A guy with a name like that would never steer you wrong about the Grateful Dead, right? Alas, this highly charged version was left off Road Trips, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Fall ’79). Huh?
Jerry’s rapid runs over the rhythmic 7/7 time signature in Supplication sound like electrical sparks dancing up and down the neck of his guitar. The ending is simply explosive. I’ll take a double dose, capn!
Jerry Christmas!

The time signature is 7/8 or 7/4. The “bottom” number of a time signature indicates which kind of note gets one beat — almost exclusively 8th or quarter notes.
