If it looks like rain and feels like rain, it's probably rain

Some wormholes just require a smaller spaceship. The Hartbeats phase isn't just true Dead, it's essential.

Absolutely scorching yet emotional. Takes you on one hell of a groovy intergalactic journey. That Tighten Up Jam tells an epic story without uttering a single word. All-out tropicalia, baby!

So inventively and passionately phrased. I love Jerry's short tight little staccato phrases in these jams. This song is such an underrated vehicle for Jerry's quick and witty yet emotional and moving riffs

Insane version, the ribbed wood-block percussion sound is comically loud.

The Caboose that turned me into a Caboose fiend.

3 votes? Are you freakin' kidding me?!?!?!?! Best CC of all time in my opinion... The last minute before the Eleven transition is absolutely next-level, the boys are in full psychedelic bounce mode and Jerry's subtle little modulations rip so hard. (Note: 1st China Cat on DP22)
