I really am not trying to become the YouTube Woman here, but my brain is now broken. And while shared joy is increased and shared pain is lessened, shared brain-breaking is purple farm tools. The Lawrence Welk Show presents a Grateful Dead Brewer & Shipley tune. Stick with it through to the end, as Welk's description is what performs the last

The Grateful Dead did Brewer & Shipley's "One Toke Over the Line"!?

[lysana]

Along the way, yes. I've heard the Dead's cover far more often.

ETA: Heck, Garcia was a studio musician on Tarkio anyway.

I did not know that! Cool, I should find a copy of their cover.

[lysana]

Amended. I can't find proof of it for a hill of beans and a Dead forum I discovered along the way says no such recording exists. Cripes, but that sounded like Garcia singing.

Closest link I can find between Jerry and "One Toke" is he played steel guitar on "Oh, Mommy," which was on the same album.

I guess it's because I'm enough of a geezer to remember the original...
