Smokin' hot. Bob's vocals aren't perfect, but they are passionate. I will take passion over perfection every time.

Love the uptempo versions of this for an encore. Never was a big fan of the mid-tempo flat ones.

Passionate and intense. If this was Jerry playing it with the Dead, people would love it.

I don't get it. The pace is sluggish, the guitar work uninspired. Yeah, they get into the final singalong, but overall this being the best one they ever played?

It sounds like the band is going to kill the song early, but Jerry and Keith push on to a rockin' finish.

Bad idea.

Sometimes you read these comments and think - do the Grateful Dead ever sing? Here's props for a great verse by Bob.
