Great execution all around. Short but sweet.

Odd at times - kinda creepy organ coming from Pigpen.

Not a very good recording, but it gets better towards the end.

And We Bid You Goodnight

There are times where band members aren't on the same page and the lines aren't sung in alphabetical order as they're supposed to be. Still, it's pretty good, but not the best.

The music is OK, but the lyrics are childish and idiotic. A stupid song from the late 50's that was covered far more than it deserved.

Really weird. Really good. Just listen for yourself. Wow.

I love the tempo on this version. Nice lyrics and at times, screaming and wailing guitar work. Following Doin' That Rag, an excellent closer for the first set.

I'm not a fan of the stuck in molasses tempo. Don't the Dead play enough slow songs without needing to turn this into another one? 3-1-1969 smokes this version.
