Re: the Youtube version - something about the imagery of a baby and a dog kind of fits in with the GD aesthetic of dancing bears, turtles et al. You know? As characters they are all avatars, controllers of pure feeling.

Feel that Ernie, wouldn't mind sitting in on keys and hashin' out some TJ for 10 minutes or so with the crew

Yes. An epic rave-up group effort, with the crew shinin'. Phil and Donna shred and Jerry and bob is pure buck owens/don rich on this version

Just beautiful, perfect feeling and intensity. One of my favorite Dead tunes. There was something really special in the air writing the tunes for Wake of the Flood.
