Man, this is a morbid song

A nice version

Maybe the most polished version of the decade ,Garcia's singing is gorgous and the >into High Time is awesome.

Clean harmonies over a simple acoustic accompaniment

A little sloppy, but has a really excellent Tighten Up jam.

So many Dec 69 versions on here already. I think this one is so clean and the distinctive rhythm sets this apart from the rest.

Nice Bob vocals in this early version. Great recording.

Sweet Jerry vocals.

Tweener version

Amazing this has been overlooked. Beautiful version.

The music sounds like something you'd hear being played at a carnival.

Pigpen struggles with his timing and vocals in general.

Fantastic one! The band sounds like they're about to combust while Pig gets the audience amped up. Great on every level.

Despite the cut at the beginning and a few lyrical flubs, this is still a passionate early one, with the recent disaster of Altamont haunting it.

Jerry announces this as a Texas tune and Bob’s strong vocals
