Rock music as it should be. The band is really on this night and this song just flies.

Donna and Bobby really sing it-NO screeching. Their singing throughout this June 76 run is just fine. For all you Donna haters, listen to this

Solid,well sung, nice little solo, and it is so sweet after the huge UJB>Wharf Rat>DS>Sugar Mag that comes before it. It just fits in so well.

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.
