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.

You might be right. Nonetheless, a classic slow Deal. Like so many of our favorite creators and artists, the Dead have several evolutionary phases each with their own unique things to love.

I mean come on, with 125 votes for this jack straw, you'd think people would check out the rest of this prime 70's dead set. This he's gone is just insanity!
