After returning fro DC this weekend I was revisiting all the Washington shows I went to. I remember tuning to a friend of mine and mentioning how much this song sucked. I think it was the first time I heard it live.
This was not too bad of a show for 94 at least. I was with a bunch of old friends and we were high that night .........
Highlighted Vinnie's vocal prowess. During the dark times of '94 and '95, it was a song where Garcia, similar to Long Way, would pop out of his hazy worm hole and pay attention for a tiny bit.
The Eugene '94 Samba during the downpour wasn't 1/2 bad.
But basically I like to defend the indefensible. So there.
Both Samba and Long Way to Go Home are decent enough songs (especially in light of the other 90s GD originals), but my gripe was that they were Vince's only songs (aside from the cover of Baba O'Riley) and both were way overplayed.
Samba's lyrics are also kind of dirty. Hunter allowing Vince to tap into some his Tubes freak show roots.

It would have sounded better if Jerry could remember it. Seems like it's debut was the one time he had a handle on it. YMMV.

The story is out there, something along these lines, Eugene I think.

I feel bad about how it ended for Vince but I'm glad I jumped off just around the time that these songs were becoming permanent parts of the set list.

Is it a worse song then Long
Is it a worse song then Long Way To Go Home?
In the minority here, but I liked this song. (ducking 4 cover)
Note the entheusiastic singing of Jerry, Bob & Phil on this.
Let's get down and dirty
Don't bother to explain
Don't care if they call a cop
and say we are insane
we'll keep goin' til we drop

Both Samba and Long Way to Go
Both Samba and Long Way to Go Home are decent enough songs (especially in light of the other 90s GD originals), but my gripe was that they were Vince's only songs (aside from the cover of Baba O'Riley) and both were way overplayed.
Samba's lyrics are also kind of dirty. Hunter allowing Vince to tap into some his Tubes freak show roots.
