Jeezum crow- thats a Bass-heavy take! nearly knocked me out my seat..Heady version,esp for 1970,Jerrys guitar tone is jarring for one who hasnt listened to this era 4a bit..

Ace recommend- ive never heard the Dead play this but,as with all the Dylan covers,is tops 4 me- you get Bobby Ds lyricism backed by the best rock band ever -Jerry and Bobby on fine form..theDead do Dylan justice yet again.Jerrys guitar sounds like light drizzle on a warm summers day.
