Good vocals from Bob - excellent jamming from Bruce and Jerry. Isn't this song almost always good?

Bob channels his inner Pigpen. I dig it.

Pretty guitar solo by Jerry.

Triple threat on the jams from Vince, Bruce and Jerry. This is probably the most underappreciated first set song from later years.

Nice guitar work by Jerry - slow and creepy, getting up to that peak.

One of the reasons I don't consider myself to be a head is because they don't have a sense of humor. I post those MAMU and Mexicali as a joke. Do you really think I consider those to be among the best versions ever played? Well, there are Mexicali's from 1991 that deserve top billing but that people who are stuck in the 70's don't understand the brilliance of the Hornsby era.

I bet you also mistake Mind Left Body Jams for Dear Prudence Jams.
