I feel dirty for liking this song. A guy having sex with a child and it's a fun, uptempo romp? Disturbing.

Jerry nails it, but Phil sounds awful and he's loud in the mix.

I'm talking about Pigpen's work on the keys. Everybody in the Dead would tell you he was a below average player for a high profile professional.

Vince!!! He totally takes over the outro jam and puts Jerry in a backup position. If you think Vince sucks and he was the worst ever on keys - seriously, Pig sucked - give the last 3 minutes of this a listen to. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Awesome tempo for 1977, driven by an outstanding performance by Phil.

Listening to it, I'm like "Who's that other guy on vocals?" and then I realize it's one of Phil's best jobs putting in some harmony.

Overrated 1977. It's good, but it's not THAT good. It certainly isn't better than 9-18-90.
