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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Z04tD8_rs nice matrix-y source, economical but very impactful mydland years east coast gig. Opens set 2 and like the bird song before it glimpses melodic but cavernously abstract space. Lesh lovers pizza and taffy backing, pan seared Garcia finish, spiralling The eleven-esque mid section, you'd want a 90's end jam where they halve the length of the chord changes resulting in a more yacht rock feel but this one gets half way there with some creative fillings in
