Pristine rendition, now audible with thanks to C.Miller. This is a peak era Dead, with new sounds and balance even in the straight rockers.

Such fun. Has a swagger and strut like the best, but a bit more fun and light. Thanks to C. Miller we can hear it now. Cheers, sir!

Bobby and Phil help out the unconscious, the bug-eyed, and the two-dimensional.

Pigpen’s vox is just amazing here (as always). Great show.

Heartbreaking waltz tempo: Last dance in Texas; farewell desperado. Sweet and lovely. Thanks for the links DarkStar67!

Bobby's got a snarl that just exudes violence. I love this version and the surf-punk cowboy sound that was still part of the Danger Dead sound.

Hot Goddamn, that just rips. A crescendo of energy and power, it builds up to a beautiful peak.
