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.

I love Pigpen. The man just wanted to play some fuckin blues and that's exactly what he did. He was Real.

couldn't agree more quinn 76. This LLR makes me want to weep glorious tears of cathartic ecstasy. Jerry's pedal steel is just gorgeous. "Did you ever awaken to the sound of streetcats makin' love... And guess from their cries that you were listening to a fight". This is the best LLR i've ever heard. 8 minutes of bliss.

WOW. Can't believe this only has 8 votes. Burning. This has me moving and grooving.... God bless the good ol' Grateful Dead.

Not usually a fan of this one because of the clunky rock beat Bill employs. but they lean into the pure country shuffle groove on this version. Very nice
