Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Absolutely crazy.

After jam mentioned above, when Garcia starts wahwah-fanning, the groove just builds and solidifies via Bobby and Phil, and then Garcia jumps on after a que from Phil and destroys it like a madman. Those insane bends he threw up in the '71-'72 Good Lovins combined with Bobbys refined Good Lovin-style of playing makes this on a top 5 Good Lovin' for me. Nonstop fun in '71, constantly playing this one at the moment.
