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.

For a song whose number 1 has 23 votes, it might not be major, but this around and around is absolutely sensational!!! kicks off a monster hour-long sequence in Miami, and everyone is going nuts and having a blast on this!!

Stunning as always version of mississippi. Coming out of technical issues, getting everything exactly right and they launch into a set 1 whose highlights are in the quieter moments.

Simply must be a contender for the best one of these, right? Truckin' down the avenue like a kid on too much cotton candy and soda and yet with a street-corner hustle as well
