Song History

The band has been covering this Bob Marley tune since the very beginning. It has always been a rarity each tour and was never played with any consistency (that we know of, at least; there are MANY missing setlists from 1991-93). After being played only once during 1996, the song disappeared completely only to come back with a shockingly powerful return on 12.13.00 featuring Warren Haynes.
The song almost made a return on 8.25.01, but was only teased. The band's long anticipated return to Red Rocks became a reality in September 2005. With an additional 4th show announced as a Hurricane Katrina Benefit, this song came back with a montage of guests.
