Keith (and everybody) is so on point in this twangy humdinger.

It's a great little tune when they play it like they did in summer '73.

FIRE. Exquisitely incendiary primal Dead.

Well worth checking out. This song improved as the year went on, I’d say.

Very unique (and lengthy). I mean, it’s ’95, and the usual caveats apply (somewhat), but this is a good illustration of the band exploring new directions very different from those of just a few years earlier — continuing to evolve, in other words.

Short, as these early versions are, but they really make it count, especially in the closing (in what would become the jam).

Broad, swaying, emphatic. This is really a great version.
