This one floats. Great sound for the early Jack Straw, I dig it.

This fits! When I first saw the setlist I had some doubt but wow, they flow so well from TOO into this and back out again at the end.

Listening to the Charlie Miller source, and Jerry's voice is just so perfect here. Great tone, and love to hear him pour his heart and soul into this song. Check it out for some raw Dead

I love Pigpen here and Jerry's Berry-esque playing. '71 is an amazing year for the Dead and I think this captures the sound very well in a fun Christmas tune.
