This whole album seems to go unnoticed but this version is so smooth

The way Jerry connects the dots in this song is unreal. So cool and fun to listen to. He’ll pick things up and put them down and pick them again the next verse until come the end of the song he’s painted this great big masterpiece. Some of the best music they made, and a sweet acid song to boot

Fuck this is tight!! I'd love to give it my vote but 5/28 gives me the feels just a little bit more and pushes it over the edge. Still fricken fantastic though

Falls a little short in the first solo but a strong finish. Far from perfect but some moments of magic in here
