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.

There is such a naturally waterfalling, very easy flow to this 2nd-set playing, everything seems so perfectly arrived at and performed every time, never too quickly, even though we get several themes around 25 minutes of music altogether incl a truckin' I mean everyone is stacked, ripped, dressed to the nines on this summer date. They seem like they're just grabbing things out of thin air as they bound down the forest path, invigorated by rainbow.

devastating! The whole thing spirals upward, prime heater version explaining the appeal of taking songs for walks like doggies in the park when in concert. this and high time really got to the next level when re-done - not to speak of dire wolf which always had the quality of a country and western standard
