You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

Sitting way too low, this could be one of the best of the 90's. healthy wealthy and wise broad reaching improv with swirling seas of beauty and gets WAY out there!!! These years are so freaky. the uncle john's before it ain't a slouch either! Loved the introspectively anxious journey of this version.

Excellent pairing. Commanding. Creative, jumping and jolting, effortlessly tribal and heavy, elegant.
