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.

Phenomenal version, scary intro piercingly heavy angels. Everyone strapped in for type 2 feeling. Hits hard at the soul such as Burlington or Saratoga 83.

slow winner. clarion synth and delay textures, tunneled out garcia vocal. hits at the heart of their arena-borne sound, shows that the lineup with mydland had by now mastered the dimensions of their conventional size venues on tour. Resonant with sympathetic glee and virtuously gracing overtones into yer head feeding thru massive racks of solid state. Goes out quick tho
