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.

Goes sightlessly past all known stratospheres, the alignment of the collective bright glare. can lose yerself and still there is enough conversation and coordination so that some factor is constantly in a brilliant motion. It's the same for any time this or any song is really "ON", or at "The it" levels is simply that it beautifully takes the risk of straddling the line between the head and the heart, and at its peak is the fulcrum of the threshold of both experiences!
