Just listened to the second set of this (GD set). This show is AWESOME! A set truly unlike any other. Why oh why didn't they play these tunes more!

The notes from Garcia's solo bounce around that centuries old hall like pinballs shot from cannon

Spot on cuddlybear... This is a well sung and well played Box. Garcia's guitar dances sweetly around the main tune throughout the whole song. Good one!

Agree with Grendel on this one. They put it on the 30 trips 4 cd set and I gave it a listen again. Have to tell you I was underwhelmed by the music and vocals on this. There are WAY better versions out there. Not to be the comic book guy on this but it certainly lacks the umph and liftoff...

No worries man! "Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right".....Glad you liked it. If only we could hear this live from the man one more time....

How could hate this song??? Listen to 4/24/78, 4/22/78 any acoustic version from '80 and tell me the same.

Just bumped this one. Very infectious groove. Listening to it on Headphones as Im doing the dishes and it makes you want to groove. Love this F--in' Band!
