I've been traumatized ever since hearing the rap back in 2003-2004 at Red Rocks. You know he is going to do it in San Francisco.

When old people try to rap, it comes across more as hectoring.

lots of people, especially
lots of people, especially deadheads, often mix up "rap" and "rap".
there is rap as in "pigpen rap" or "let me sit down and rap with you" and there is rap as in "hip hop music". some early forms of rapping, like gil scott heron, do have very real and measureable influence on hip hop, but a lot of what is considered early forms of "rapping" dont really have direct influence on hip hop in the way that stuff like early blues or rock and roll had on the grateful dead.
the origins of hip hop music are entirely instrumental. this sketch from comedy central is surprisingly accurate and informative, and the portion about kool herc declining to create the first hip hop album because he thought of hip hop as a live art form that involved the audience and couldn't be recreated on a recording should resonate pretty heavily with fans of the dead.

Well, it is his song, and
Well, it is his song, and think how bad it would be if he actually sang it.
Considering that way more than half of the legions of D&C fans are under 50, never saw the GD and probably don't know that Mickey wrote the song, his "rapping" it probably blew a lot of minds... "What a reinterpretation!!! AMAZING!!!"
And I'm OK with that. A mind blown is a mind blown, no matter the details.

I thought that unreleased version was on Rolling Thunder but it's not .
I heard it somewhere though back in the day.
Don't believe I had the Diga album but I might have as I've heard that version before also.

I heard it as filler on a cassette back in the early 80s, and thought it was interesting enough as a one-off.
The version of FOTM on Diga was titled "Happiness is Drumming", but if I recall correctly, it was an instrumental. No vocals.

He did at one of the post Jerry Dead configurations at the Kaiser. One of the worst mushroom experiences I ever had.
