Country fried funk that'll leak your hips sore from how much you're going to be moving them. Steady train ride.

A walk through the woods until you come across a UFO which abducts you and takes you on a 4th dimensional journey. Breaking through the cosmic veil.

A romantic version full of power and passion, ideas bloom and blossom forth a beautiful force of energy. Keith and Jerry are intense and magnificent.

Jerry doing his best Robert Nighthawk and Muddy impression on slide. It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, this has that swing.

Makes you wanna dance all night long, Billy is a rip tide sweeping the band of their feet sending them down that river at breakneck speeds.

This is one of those versions that encapsulates why Jerry loved this song so much. The band is able to paint such vivid pictures and by 1974 their brushstrokes were so precise, they could convey any idea so easily and paint some truly beautiful images in the listeners mind. Perfect version to accompany me through this lovely evening. Sways ever so gently.

^Love your comment here. Knowing the Dead’s ventures into the unknown and the their sonic explorations at this time, I don’t doubt that Dark Star was born through a jam akin to this. This takes off really fast, almost sounds like Cream in some passages, with Jerry and the band exploring heavy territories that dives into cosmic exploration very fast. Great version and thank you for the recommendation.

What he said^

That solo comes out of nowhere and hits you like a freight train going a thousand miles per hour. Great recommendation guys.

WOW. I have been trying to put into words how truly incredible this piece of music but I’m just at a lost. There are no amount of words to describe how truly gargantuan and utterly beautiful this performance is. This is like 10000 supernovas exploding in your face all at once, like exploring deep within the Crab Nebula and becoming one with each little atom. Surrealist music that explores regal and elegant spaces before diving headfirst into the void. With Jerry and Phil at the helm, we get the two of them pushing their instruments to their technological limits, as a matter of fact, Phil in particular really shines, from avant garde portal opening feedback to propelling energy through each pluck of the string, I feel enveloped by his bass throughout this entire performance. There’s overall, a very purposeful agenda here, and the result of their ambition leads to some of the most cosmic and powerful spaces explored by the band EVER. Keith propels these jams further and further towards oblivion and after the darkness of a malevolent tiger jam, we get a truly epic and wonderful Slipknot jam that rocks the boat even further. ALL BEFORE THE FIRST VERSE MIND YOU. This really has PURPOSE. What a truly singular, and stupendously awesome piece of music. Everyone articulates their ideas so clearly which leads to a real breakthrough. I think I could listen to this one over and over again, as a matter of fact, I’ve already listened to this monster twice today!!! It’s that good.
