Relaxed auditory quaalude that finds a little fire at the end. Constanten's last as a member of the band.

Well, to be fair, would you want to see Godzilla crawl out of your ice cream? The tune itself is a mandolin-less acoustic rendition that Jerry plays hop-along-country tune with - compare this with 8/19/70 (another audience acoustic, but with Nelson/Grisman) - it's a completely different tune.

Indeed, and the My Babe that follows is like Big Railroad played inside out. This, or New Orleans would both have been interesting songs to drop into the regular rotation.

Furious little bugger. Any tune where you can imagine Jerry headbanging grabs your attention.

This wails. Incredibly slick transition to NFA, too.
