Love this version. Nice slide playing through the main body of the song and some fine organ from Brent.

Swings and rocks. Seat-of-the-pants soloing and soulful feisty vocal.

Lovely lazy groove. Harmonies spot on and a desperate tired plea of a vocal. The Dusborne matrix is the one.

Good call DarkStar. Jerry's vocal on this one. Wow. Really sweet and incredibly soulful in that just on the edge of not quite making it but getting there beautifully way he had.

Keith swings like hell on this.

The audience make this one special, giving Jerry all the encouragement he needs to sing and play a blinder. Surprised it's not higher on the list. Always brings a smile to my face.

Spent ten minutes defying my arthritis and dancing to this in the kitchen yesterday when I should have been doing the ironing. Doesn't get said enough - the Dead were a helluva dance band.
