Lazy Lightning
Composer: Bob Weir / John Perry Barlow

Lazy Lightning was first performed by the Grateful Dead in June 1976. It was performed regularly through the rest of the 1970's, then less frequently during the early 1980's. For all of these performances it was part of the two song sequence Lazy Lightning > Supplication. The song dropped out of the repertoire in 1984.

The song has also been played by The Other Ones, The Dead, Bobby & The Midnites, the Bob Weir Band, and Kingfish.

Phil Lesh played Lazy Lightning a number of times in 2015 during shows that recreated Grateful Dead setlists.
