An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

The Dead were many things to many people and here they are a shit hot Blues band, Pigpen wailing and blowing some of his most anguished blues ever. This whole show is a bit overlooked.
