Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

This one is an out-of-the-gates celebration. And easily slides into a chill conversation. One of those '76 Other Ones that makes you think. This stands up!

My only criticism of this lovely rendition is that it shares Dave's 6 with an even more staggering 2-2-1970 version.

How doesn't this have more votes? Peak-period Other One. A band can't be much more engaged all the way through. Kreutzmann now fully liberated. Some very nice, rich Pigpen organ work, too. Probably my favorite year for this song. The subtle, storytelling interplay (especially between the guitars) reminds me why. Just deluxe, restaurant quality material.
