brief but kool, sets up an exceptionally hot sequence and simmers at a subtle pique, picaresquely beckoning. Handsome

Type 2. Positively blinding with veneer. Ferrari style playing, Lesh walking like jimmy garrison and the devils laying down a western swing thing. Pulpit vocal, generous between verse solo, mind shredding intensity on the build and accented battering ram charges of the Dead's signature roast of breezily equitable yet hauntingly psychedelic americana infusion. Welnik fanning, extra innings scorcher!!! mind reading jam

Weir on acoustic and spinning wistful NorCal jazzy blues, thoughtful chorus-laden jerry, lots of yummy bongo and cymbal garnish. Casually seamless, beautifully choreographed. Ace version
