Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

You can tell the band was feelin this one. So much extra flair from everyone. Bobby riffing the verses, Jerry throwing in extra bends, Keith with a little almost solo, and Phil accenting it all perfectly. Pure GD energy

Interesting version. Jerry tone before it became "Jerry tone"

Good call jztjnz. Really digging the Jerry/Bobby duel on this one. Feelin' Groovy also materializes very organically, which is quite rare in my experience. Keith with the ascending/descending lines in rider. Very nice rendition, one of the better transition jams I've heard. On fire

I'm loving these '71 O1s. Phil is just all over this and Jerry's strat sounds soulful as ever. I think this could end up being a new favorite although I wish Keith was louder in the mix. The meld into MAMU is silky and stylish. Not to be missed, great rec ^^

Ah! So that's what it was called! Peanut. Seems like he only played it Mar-Apr '71. Neat little axe
