Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

Apparently Bear was recording this to be played back on mono, so the organ jam would be featured but not so explosive. Whodathunkit? In any case, this is just so fucking brilliant that I want to jump in my time machine and zip back just to be a spectral hallucination vibrating just out of the corner of Billy's eye as he kicks the shit out of this beautiful packed-with-energy annuciato: The Dead are Coming, Here Come the Dead.

Baby Bobby: Shimmy shimmy shake shake, baby baby baby! This is twisty rock and roller Baby Bobby stuff here. Consider for a moment that he was 18 years old at this point. Hot damn.

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
