Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

In true perverse fashion, the Dead backed Dylan at his lowest point. But the way he sings this - on the wrong chords - has an insane urgency.

Good lord. This jam will make you pause in the middle of household chores and forget what you were doing.

The Dead deserve a lot of credit for being willing to play like this relatively late in their career when they were selling out major venues. Even if you're not tripping this DS will widen your pupils
