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.

I just had to listen to this three times in a row - every decision made by the guys in this version feels like a tantric alignment. Top form in terms of the song itself, and just all the playing and vocals. It's icy and dreamy

Just awesome, Jer is on the edge, and there's something so odd but perfect about crazy fingers. The playing seriously goes the distance too.
