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.

Got that chonky gospel garage kick... Lead vocal fanning and gorgeous Strat, wah-ed weir, classical Keith.
