From the great northern train trip featured in Festival Express, and also a hard drivin' solid rocker of a version.

Disgruntledgoat is right about the sweet and gentle way they would bring people back down to earth. Say what you will about their relationship to the fans, but the Dead knew about heavy trips and how the right kind of spin could clear out the dread. In my era I feel like "China Doll" filled this role, often after something jagged and scary... a little whisper to put it all back to right.

Good comment gdtrfb Era E. And that kind of rabbit-out-of-the-hat mix of possibilities is what keeps me coming back for more.

You can actually hear a man's mind being blown in the transition to Stephen. His "Oh wow" says more than this comment ever could. What more can be said? This is a wonderful piece of inspired music, from start to finish. Thanks Ken and Judy!

Line up all the Easy Winds from June '70 and you see how it progresses into super-gritty badass territory. This one deserves its place at the top.
