Jer + SG x 1969 = wild flaming hot licks that lead to off kilter dissonant cronking into cleansing fanning before the car crash ending.

Encore that the whole band jumps on with Jerry crooning his way thru it nicely.

Devore Field

Burned out vox and crying guitar licks fit this tune perfectly

Acid soaked Blues riffage ...crispy.

Touch of Grey
April 10, 1983
West Virginia University Coliseum

Hey Greenie - shaggy is right - but endearing too. Check 4/14/84 it's spikey instead of shaggy and almost goes off the rails but doesn't - I love it.

The Matrix

Correction on the date of a previous post (s) - 12/17 vs 12/23 - after a very unscientific study I swapped'em over to the 17th date. Highly urge anyone with a taste for '70 to check out this stellar short set of a crystal recording. I love this crunchy year.

If this were only heard - it would surely shoot up to top 10 status - outstanding with Jerry vocal reverb bonus.

Ridiculousness - Hear Jer finagle the Mtn jam in here - f'n unreal.

Must be heard - totally Dark Star-esque per the above comment without the speed of other versions but totally sweet bends and phrasing. A real treat.
