The Grateful Dead released pro-shot video of the band covering Bob Dylan’s “Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again.” The latest All The Years Live clip comes from the Dead’s June 19, 1989 concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
“Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again” appears on Bob Dylan’s landmark 1966 double LP, Blonde On Blonde. The Grateful Dead first played the song at the tour kickoff of the Dylan & The Dead tour on July 4, 1987 at Foxborough Stadium near Boston.

The song remained in the Dead’s repertoire after the brief tour was over, as Dead archivist David Lemieux noted:
“Starting in 1987 after the Dylan & The Dead shows, you could count on Bob Weir singing a Bob Dylan song at the majority of Grateful Dead shows, usually in the first set. The three main additions were ‘When I Paint My Masterpiece,’ ‘Queen Jane Approximately,’ ‘All Along The Watchtower,’ and “Memphis Blues.'”
