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.

yeah Dick knew exactly what was going on. Honestly I don't even care that they didn't do complete shows with these releases, because i know if it's on one of these Cd's, it's going to be a great version. You can just pretend it's a complete show. I like doing archive.org and youtube sleuth work just as much as anybody, but some nights it's nice to just throw one of these on spotify. And then worst case you just head on over to the archive or relisten and switch between SBDs and Matrixes until you get the right punch. Now what i really need to do is get a tape deck and start buying some tapes off of some heads.... That would probably be the best
