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 .........

At one of the Nassau shows, maybe Spring 1993, The Samba was the musical highlight of the set.
It made me really depressed!

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.

If you expecting something more when they played Samba, maybe you were the fool?

Possibly even worse lol
The story is out there, something along these lines, Eugene I think.

Highlighted Vinnie's vocal
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.

I feel bad about how it ended
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

Long Way To Go Home was
Long Way To Go Home was awesome because that was basically Hunter jabbing at deadheads through Vince.

Way To Go Home was the best
Way To Go Home was the best GD song of the 90s.

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.
