@XDHyperGirlXD1 It’s about the death of his 4 year old son, falling from the window of a NYC apartment building.

Description of the May 1972 London Lyceum version (on the Europe '72) album:
It was the band’s final stop on the tour, having made it all the way across Europe in one piece and returning to London for a final four night stop at the Strand Lyceum. Yet another furious ‘The Other One’ jam had brought the band to the edge of chaos, and as the various instruments began to fall away, Garcia played those familiar opening notes to ‘Morning Dew’. Whether it was because they were at the end of the tour or just because he was caught up in the moment, Garcia couldn’t help but let the waterworks flow.
“He’s playing with his back to the audience, tears streaming down his face, the music playing the band…Ecstacy on every level,” band publicist and biography Dennis McNally would explain years later. Tape operator Dennis ‘Wiz’ Leonard remembered it similarly in the band’s Amazon documentary Long Strange Trip, adding: “He did a good part of his solo in that tune with his back to the audience, with tears streaming down his face. Because he was right there. He was playing for all of us: all of human kind.”

Elvis couldn't perform his biggest hit live "Are You Lonesome Tonight". Watch a live recording and you'll see Elvis (and other musicians who try to cover it) trip and stumble constantly during the spoken bridge / recitation. it's a complex moment in the song, but it's too emotional for Elvis to perform

@tenente that wasn't because it was a sad song, but because someone in the audience took off his toupee when he sang "do you wish you had hair". It was a hilarious moment though and I understand why he couldn't control his laughter.
