'73 versions much preferred, and this early one comes through big-time

Sure, this song is a throw-away, but it's also a chance for Jerry (and Bill...shit, everyone) to go off

Just listened to this tonight and the death of Pigpen clearly still weighs heavily on the band, but they shrug the weight thru the joy of playing together and the memory of Pig...If you can't hear it, you might not be listening

Totally de facto...had never really given this one a solid listen...Glad I did. Came here to post it, and pleased to see it is already highly thought of cuz I really dug it. Crowd reaction after tells the tale. There's something different about this one
