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.

Super nice transition into an 88 Rooster with everyone feeling a little perky, taking this banger version the extra mile, for sure.

Whew multi-armed "VISHNU" guitar blues jamming with a little help from Mick Taylor. Mick and Jerry were probably the most exciting Americana guitarists after Duane Allman's untimely passing. Hearing them over some hot coked-out 80's Dead is uber-funness. Ps the Stones shared the Dead standards Not fade away, Around and around, and Little red rooster in the early days. Not to mention their mutual proximity to the flying burritos, which resulted in keith writing "wild horses", which jerry has also played in his Old and In the Way band with david grisman, john kahn, and some other pranksters.

Crispy and soothingly spellbindingly AMAZING guitar. Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious. This kind of thing is why I would put down Jerry Garcia within a few guitarists when asked to name my best. Top 5, let's say. All i can say, is sending out good vibes to anyone else who became a head during pandemic, we will get by \m/
