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

Sweet, sweet, down-home and yokey Jerry.

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.

earns the upvote. Classic wavy grooves. Does not depart from the initial pulse but calmly gets more frantic if that makes sense... Clearly everyone is focused and wants to have a great show at msg.

Feels like a debauched rim dip poke warts and all, in the spring tour scene. Whole show is mega articulated and precise, Jerry turns it into a sorority rally with smile smile smile!! Never too fast but still brimming with the conversational politeness that yields that pleasant platitude of a nice dead jam, what song is this
