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.

Just gave another listen to this absolutely incredible jazzy Playin', certainly in my top 5 of all time. Absolute must-listen. Put it on right now.

dead is such a boy's club, and it's annoying. Make some room for the rest of us. Anyway, it's quite the red hot beat it.

Fat, mean, jazzy outrageous Caution craziness. Essential for fans of 60's Dead, premium example of free psych!

Wow. Just wow. Exemplary poker-hot truckin', along with me and my uncle, showing these francophones what some root-tootin 12-gauge shootin' Good Ole Grateful is all about.
