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.

ok whoa, need to check out the rest of the "Rockin' in the Rhein" show. on the one hand a groove puddle with philly and billy, the other, a lysergic quadrophony. Post-verse playing is as intensely free jazz/noise as they got, surely on this iconic tour at least. amazeballs, freakishly visionary jazziness on this version of dark star, this shit is absolutely staggering, dripping from the golden fountain, ritualistic dreaming. pre-verse is super great playing also

everyone turning on and locking like a switch and key during this. Very spicy late 80's gig.
