I've commented earlier on the NFA portion of this sandy, but this GDTRFB is a considerably meaty portion as well! Very hot ish

Great fills from Keith in this one. Jerry tackles the descending final guitar notes beautifully as well

Hollywood Bowl

Blown away that after all these years this was the first time i'd heard this. The mere idea of the first Stella being played during the last Pigpen show is dripping with symbolism. The fact that Pig adds a gorgeous organ texture to the song makes this a bonafide treasure. Track this down, spin it, and reminisce in a true transitive moment in the bands illustrious history
