Used to not be a fan of early versions of this but they're really growing on me, you can hear the awesome solo and the ending starting to take shape. Jerry getting emotive with the vocals

Keith is the fucking man. All over this song, this show, this tour. Put some respect on his name!

This one's got a looooong outro jam that kicks ass just like the Scarlet<Fire before it. Love this gritty Spring '84 energy

My brain was fried from that Dark Star and the transition was so smooth I didn't even realize this song started. I agree jkelly, this is desert island Dead. Wow.
