Agree w/everyone here - this one brings the funk! Garcia in fine MuTron form and I've come to accept that Myland pushes things in a good way. The re-visit suits this version. Confident and brash - it's grown on me.

A fabulous BEW, but Garcia's guitar break on 5/8 is still my favorite most days of the week. I'll take either one, but I won't, I can't stand for 5/8's BEW be called overrated.

A little clumsy and too much Mydland tinkling, but the heart is there!

Pigpen at the controls for some of this - pushes it into the stratosphere. Of course, the rest of the group is responsive like a Mustang. No weak links in this one - no dead wood. Ace shit!
