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.

Perfect, thoughtful, volcanic, placid, all of the above. Melty goopy and funky. Tells a story in sound painting. I really like this song... has that LLR, let it grow uber earnest Barlow thing in spades. The theatrics on this splendid version take Indy to giddy new heavens, the floor loses it for jerry, but then when don't they. Shout out to weir for a triple shot of great jams
