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.

not a perfunctory run-through, Texas charcoal-charred goods down and dirty on this one. psychedelic. has a wide open 77/78 embracing feel

all 80's candymen are dynamite. This one has a particularly funky undertone and adventurous comping. Thrilling peak at mr benson and the solo is immaculately poignant and weir keeps lacing it through and inspiring the others in his wake after.
