Stoned vibes; Garcia trails off on lyrics, mellow distant guitar; thus creating a delicate and mystical vibe, delicacy is cracked in strong outro jam

Inspired Dew, check Phil bombs and the powerful lead to the final refrain, very good version from a consistently solid March/April 89' tour

Awesome version and Garcia's voice sounds great.

Pigpen sounds awesome in this. He was a really great blues singer, and that fact is exemplified in abundance throughout this great show.

Absolutely charged, Garcia steps on the throttle, and never slows down until he slams the breaks to let Pigpen speak. Straight ripping guitar, and a legendary rap. What more is needed from a Good Lovin', a classic performance, and the prototypical heady version.

Majorly underrated version. Awesome transition and sick jamming.

Great powerful and intense version, the St. Stephen tease is awesome. Pure fire.
