Still puts me back in the Garden, especially when they hit that transition/ turn that corner that leads back into the lyrics.

Okay, DiPs 20 has 9/25 and this. Just voted for 9/25 by accident -- that one's good too/ deserves votes -- but I like how this one snaps and bounces, and especially how Bob splices in a few chord chops from the earlier part -- before the fare thee well now verse.
