The final part when they come back to the verse is crazy, I don't think I ever heard something like it.

What a perfect way to start the DIck's Picks series, this is insane.

Stars out really quiet and mellow, very contemplative. After the first verse the band falls quiet, the silence is filled with electricity and expectation, until they finally release all the withheld energy and they never look back. When you think they are done they fall into a very short but delightful Feelin' Groovy Jam, the whole rest of the song is one tremendous peak. Just before they fall into second verse Jerry throws in some beautiful passages. Beautiful is just the word to describe this version.
