Played very well, but they struggle with the vocals.

They played the hell out of this tune in '82. Another high octane, supercharged version.

Phil puts up a nice low growl.

I'm talking about Pigpen's work on the keys. Everybody in the Dead would tell you he was a below average player for a high profile professional.

Vince!!! He totally takes over the outro jam and puts Jerry in a backup position. If you think Vince sucks and he was the worst ever on keys - seriously, Pig sucked - give the last 3 minutes of this a listen to. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Awesome tempo for 1977, driven by an outstanding performance by Phil.

Listening to it, I'm like "Who's that other guy on vocals?" and then I realize it's one of Phil's best jobs putting in some harmony.

Overrated 1977. It's good, but it's not THAT good. It certainly isn't better than 9-18-90.
