We Can Run
Sept. 29, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Yeah, I mean, not a great tune. Certainly different. Maybe a younger, less mature brother of Throwing Stones. Much more "on the nose" than we're used to with Dead tunes. I do love that Brent truly had his space to write and perform his own stuff with them though when there were some real artistic powerhouses in that crew. I understand Brent and Barlow wrote the lyrics. I wonder who put the music down? That's really the bigger issue with the song. The material could have improved if it danced around the music a bit more, but it was just too on the nose.
